Chapter 1490: Defense Border Part 5
A few seconds later, nearly everyone watching the stream, whether in the Divine World or the real world, had their eyes locked heavily on Xu Feng.
And the person in focus didn’t even bother about what their reaction was.
Instead, he was provoking and inciting fury from the monsters.
He lifted his finger and made a beckoning gesture, seemingly telling them to come get him.
Sure enough, this taunt was universal regardless of who they were.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Feng’s large avatar was shrouded by tons of monsters. They remained unaware that Kong Ming had already opened the floodgate, their raging current determined to swallow everything up.
Not to mention, Xu Feng didn’t give up his defense for no reason either.
He was activating the Tide Reversal skill, which absorbed the damage he received within a certain duration and then reflected it back to the enemies.
Moreover, his main goal was to keep them contained from the flood.
He reckoned that whoever was leading the monsters would sound the retreat alarm once they detected the situation.
’Hmph, I’ll be the last line of blockade here.’ He sneered inwardly. The fact that so many members of his guild had fallen, his heart bled in pain.
Each death meant the gears themselves would reduce in durability. And because this battle was called upon by him, he would have to cover their cost.
If it were anyone else, then the prices probably wouldn’t be that much.
Unfortunately, both Crimson Heart and Jeanette seemed determined to mess with him and charge him a lot.
He could understand Jeanette because he used some coercive means to make her join his guild, but Crimson Heart?
How come?
Weren’t they good friends since the Blacksmith Competition at Paradise Palms?
Alas, Xu Feng didn’t have the time to ponder over it as the Tide Reversal duration was coming to an end.
"Time to end this farce!" He snorted and unleashed Tide Reversal.
-5,000,000
-4,500,000
-3,000,213
"Nice, I’ve managed to crit them!" He clicked his tongue in amazement when the damage reflection got a critical chance.
While he was amazed by his luck, a loud horn sounded in the area.
At that moment, the monsters began to twitch violently. Soon, their bloodcrazed eyes regained some clarity.
’Hmm, what is this?’ To his astonishment, the monsters began to run into each other.
They completely ignored him and the path that he was blocking.
Swoosh!
Soon, an unsightly and nauseating sight was unfolding under their eyes. The monsters started to decompose amongst each other, turning into a big pile of mush.
Those with weak stomachs began to show vomiting. As for the viewers, some had no choice but to turn their eyes away.
[What the heck is this?]
[Why are the monsters turning into a big pile of mush?]
[Oh my god, my girlfriend just entered my room and saw me watching this scene. She directly called me a pervert and freak!]
[My condolences, you’re going to lose her. But you can tell them to come to my side.]
Due to the fact that there was a slow mode in the comment section, the person who got caught by their girlfriend couldn’t even reply in fury.
How dare someone covet his girlfriend in a livestream!
While many were confused and tried their best to distract their mindset, Xu Feng’s face had gradually turned pale.
It took him a while to finally understand the situation.
"Everyone retreat!" He expanded his wings from the avatar phase and shouted loudly.
"Kong Ming, ignore the flooding and have everyone evacuate from the city now!"
Kong Ming, who had been busy pouring an abundant amount of water, was stunned by the sudden command.
Nevertheless, he didn’t hesitate and did as told. There must be a reason for him to suddenly tell him to evacuate everyone from the city.
While Kong Ming instructed the soldiers to begin the evacuation process, Xu Feng returned to the cliff.
"This place is no longer safe. Activate your town token and return to Haven Wind Town." He instructed his members.
"What’s going on?" Cindersong approached him and asked in confusion.
The flood had just started, and the area was flooded with water. Their defenses were quite successful as everything went as planned.
"Those monsters colliding with each other and turning into a pile of mush isn’t randomness, but the summoning of a Tier 4 Demon Lord." Xu Feng’s tone was grim and desolate.
A Tier 4 Demon Lord was not something they could confront at their current level. They were ultimately still Tier 2, and Kong Ming alone was not enough to stop a Demon Lord.
Not to mention, the Demon Lord hailed from Hell Gate, which meant that the siege this time wasn’t done by the Colossus. It was actually Hell, who had disguised their activities under the banner of the Colossuses.
To summarize, the planning and strategy were in the wrong direction from the get-go.
’No wonder Bardmon City fell in the past timeline, and nothing was left behind.’ He finally figured out that the fault didn’t lie with the players.
Instead, it was because Bardmon City had been targeted by Hell from the very beginning.
Xu Feng was beyond frustrated as he also came to realize why he managed to rope in Kong Ming so easily with gold coins. The system wasn’t being generous but was actually letting him fall into a big hole.
The summoning of a Demon Lord was a catastrophe. Xu Feng seriously had less than 2% chance of winning them.
"You two should also retreat from the scene." He then shifted his attention to Cute Joy and Little Honey.
The two of them smiled bitterly in response.
"What’s the matter?" He raised an eyebrow.
"It’s not that we don’t want to leave, but the viewers threatened to mass report us for ending it so abruptly." Cute Joy explained. In normal circumstances, they wouldn’t need to fear such a threat.
However, their viewer count had long exceeded the platform in both the Divine World and the real world.
Many were watching the scene through their lenses, so Cute Joy didn’t dare to offend the masses. In fact, the RSH Company had also advised them just now to continue the stream. Any form of danger they suffered while streaming would be compensated tenfold.
