Chapter 1911: Chapter 1904: This Time We Hit the Jackpot
This group of people never expected that the City Lord of Illusion City not only warmly welcomed them but also provided them with such a generous amount of elixir.
The value of these elixirs, if exchanged for Crystal Cores, could be worth several tens of thousands of level nine Crystal Cores! Even during their most prosperous times, their survival team of 800,000 people never exceeded assets of 10,000 level nine Crystal Cores! Yet, the City Lord gave them away so generously for free!
Just this alone is enough for them to stay in this city.
"Thank you, City Lord!" Feeling the energy and strength gradually returning to their bodies, everyone expressed their gratitude profusely, "City Lord, we won’t just take advantage of your protection; once our injuries heal, we’ll go out and hunt for Crystal Cores too!"
"No rush on that; if you have friends, just spread the word for me," Zhang Menglong chuckled, "My Illusion City lacks nothing at the moment; the only thing missing is people!"
"Alright, we..."
Suddenly, the entire ground trembled violently, and Zhang Menglong’s attention immediately focused, "What’s happening, is there a large Phantom Profound Beast attacking the city?"
Zhang Menglong was taken aback; for something that could make the entire city shake, it must be a Phantom Profound Beast of at least Dao Realm Fifth Grade, right?
"Clan Leader, there’s no Phantom Profound Beast attacking; it seems to be just a simple earthquake!"
"No, this tremor absolutely doesn’t seem like an earthquake," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "This feels like a massive spatial disturbance causing the earthquake, could it be that the space dislocation is happening again so soon?"
The last occurrence was only days ago; even though the spatial conditions of Mora Plain aren’t very stable, typically, space dislocations occur every two to three months at most. This isn’t scientific!
"No... this might not be a space dislocation..."
Next to Zhang Menglong, Dorje’s eyes showed a hint of panic, and the other residents similarly displayed fearful expressions.
As for those newly arrived survivors, they looked ashen-faced, as if something terrifying was about to happen.
"We just barely escaped with our lives and now we’re facing the chaotic space period, this damned Endless Land really doesn’t want us to survive!"
"Chaotic space period?" Zhang Menglong was puzzled, "Banak, brother, what do they mean by a chaotic space period?"
Banak wore a face of melancholy, "This is the darkest period in the entire Endless Land. Ordinary space dislocations occur sporadically in certain places, but the chaotic space period is almost equivalent to disrupting the space throughout Endless Land."
"Isn’t that virtually equal to space dislocations occurring everywhere in Endless Land?" Just imagining this scenario made Zhang Menglong’s scalp tingle.
"Exactly," Banak said, "Since my entry into Endless Land, it has occurred five times in total, approximately a million years apart each time. It doesn’t last long, generally no more than ten days, but those ten days almost equate to the apocalypse of Endless Land!"
"Indeed," Zhang Menglong sighed, "Even regular space dislocations are an immense danger to ordinary survivors, this chaotic space period is almost a catastrophe. Even those Fortress Cities find it difficult to withstand it, right?"
"Very difficult," Banak replied, "I remember during the last chaotic space period, I led everyone to hide in the Luosai Giant City. If you hadn’t witnessed it yourself, you wouldn’t believe such a scene; almost every few kilometers there was an area of space dislocation, the whole city was practically occupied by Phantom Profound Beasts."
"It’s amazing that Luosai Fortress City made it through."
"Although it made it through, Luosai Fortress City was almost destroyed by a third of its area, its population reduced by more than 30%, and the subsequent city reconstruction lasted almost a thousand years."
"Don’t worry, everyone, eat and drink as you should, there’s no need to worry."
The original residents of Illusion City might have a bit of confidence, after all, they had just experienced a space dislocation days ago and survived almost unscathed.
But the newcomers, having never witnessed Illusion City’s strength, had no illusions about making it through the chaotic space period.
"Come on, let’s play another two rounds of mahjong!"
"Come on, I thought it was a big deal, let’s go, we haven’t even finished our hotpot yet!"
"Let’s play some games! We’re still short of a few people, come join us."
"You guys go ahead, I’m going to sleep, feeling a bit tired!"
While the newcomers were internally praying, the disciples of Sunset Sect were behaving outrageously, treating the situation as if nothing happened, and went about their activities.
Hey, this is the chaotic space period, can you at least show some respect!
The space dislocation started, a massive space dislocation point with a diameter of about 200 meters appeared directly ahead of them, and in the distance, a group of incredibly violent wolf-shaped Phantom Profound Beasts were rushing towards the place.
Most of their bodies were over 20 meters long, with ghostly blue energy flames burning upon them, and humans to them seemed like the most delicious prey.
This group of Phantom Profound Beasts wasn’t large, perhaps no more than a few hundred, and their life levels were merely at Divine Cultivator Sixth to Seventh Grade, not a particularly terrifying number for this group of people.
But their injuries and stamina hadn’t fully recovered yet, facing such a group of Phantom Profound Beasts would absolutely be a fight to the death.
"Look at the sky!" A child among the survivors pointed at the sky, "Stars are falling from the sky!"
Everyone looked up to see that atop the city’s dome, stars suddenly appeared densely packed, becoming extraordinarily dazzling.
These were actually formation cores arranged by Zhang Menglong; when faced with a massive quantity of Phantom Profound Beasts, the cores would enlarge to attack broader areas, thus appearing as if falling.
In an instant, countless beams of golden light appeared from these cores, aimed narrowly at weak Phantom Profound Beasts, while larger beams targeted bigger ones, and they saw clearly that the light was actually golden Sword Qi!
Once again, they felt the passage of time slow down, as a massive amount of Sword Qi shot directly into the space dislocation point, piercing the Phantom Profound Beasts rushing in, leaving them riddled with holes.
A few managed to cross over, but before fully entering the city, they met their doom.
This period of chaotic space that plunged Endless Land into chaos caused no damage within Illusion City, apart from some panic!
"Stop staring, they’re not getting into the city. Better spend that time savoring more beef tripe!"
"You rascal, where’s my shrimp paste I just put in?"
"Stop yelling, there’s plenty more, just add more!"
...
In the shop fronts along the street, it was still a different scene altogether.
Now they seem to understand a bit why these people showed no signs of fear, for this city indeed had such powerful defenses. Not to mention space dislocation, even the chaotic space period, it remained fearless!
The survivors glanced at each other, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.
"Coming to Illusion City this time was the jackpot!"
