The World Online
chapter-1149

Along with the legend of the imperial cities being destroyed, the China region players would start to swarm into the three dynasties. This was a huge treasure. Naturally, Ouyang Shuo did not want to fall behind Great Zhou.

Jianye's Snow-War Rose Mercenary guild and Xianyang's Blood Evil Mercenary Group had decided to move their headquarters over to Shanhai City. 90% of their members also migrated over to Great Xia.

As for Jianye and Xianyang, they would leave a branch guild there.

The prosperity of Shanhai City did not lose out to any imperial city and was even more prosperous. It was not only the most prosperous land in China, but it was also the central of world trade.

Even Quanzhou's Streamer moved its headquarters to Shanhai City.

Jingdu's Jianqi Zongheng, Xiangyang's 18 Horsemen of Yanyun, Chang'An's Jin Yi Wei all moved to Handan City.

Chengdu's Laojun Temple had fled when Great Xia started surrounding Chengdu.

The most special one was Tingyu Floor of Luoyang, who did not choose to go to Great Xia or Great Zhou. Instead, it was determined to remain in Great Han.

It seemed like at least in terms of the super guilds, Great Zhou's influence was not reduced.

However, apart from super guilds, the large, medium-sized, and small guilds as well as the scattered players all chose to go to Great Xia, teleporting over.

They went from Shanhai City and entered the various prefectures and counties.

In just two days, 20 million adventure gamemode players swarmed in. Great Xia earned several million gold just from their cut from the teleportation costs.

One could foresee that in less than a week, more than 70% of players in China would move to Great Xia, achieving Ouyang Shuo's goal.

Great Xia was going to be equal to China.

Although the influx of a large number of adventure gamemode players challenged the law and order of the prefectures and counties, it also greatly raised sales and increased business and industry prosperity.

After the few rounds of army disarmament, the local areas had built up a perfect bailiff system. Although it would cause a certain blow to the offices, Ouyang Shuo believed they could digest it.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the 1st month, 4th day.

At 8 AM, without any prior signs or any System Notifications, the global wilderness suddenly had a giant black fog. Ear piercing screams broke out from the black fog.

Some of the black fog appeared in the farms, some not far outside of the city, some near villages, some on official paths, and some in the deep forests….

When the black fog disappeared, caves of varying shapes appeared, deep and horrifying.

Following which, they saw long and ugly, two meter long, thick-limbed, black-skinned beasts appearing out of the holes in groups.

Their sharp teeth sent chills down one's spine.

'Ao~'

Amongst the beasts, there were occasionally one four to five meter tall super beast that looked like the king dragon of legends. The moment it appeared, it emitted a sharp aura.

The even more shocking part was that there were flying beasts in the air. They opened up their wings, reaching six to seven meters in length like winged dragons.

The beast flood that swarmed out of the cave looked like it was about to start a huge slaughter.

Wherever they passed, human life would end too.

The test that Gaia gave out was obviously tougher than what the players had imagined.

...

Lianzhou Basin, Shanhai City.

On the grassland region on the north of Shanhai City, a giant monster cave appeared.

When the black fog rose into the air, everyone in the city could see it clearly. When they heard the cries of the beasts, their hearts numbed up.

The city unavoidably experienced some uproar, which was luckily quickly settled.

When Ouyang Shuo got the news, he decided to personally lead troops to take a look. The beast flood would be their greatest enemy on Planet Hope, so how could Ouyang Shuo be at ease if he did not see them up close?

The 1st legion of the City Protection Legion Corps led by Zhao Sihu was already setting up defenses.

Ouyang Shuo did not waste any more time. After giving the power to move troops to the Grand Council, he brought the three thousand Divine Martial Guards and hurried out of the city toward the beast cave.

In less than half an hour, the group reached their destination.

The City Protection Legion Corps and the beast group had already engaged. After learning that the king had arrived, Legion General Zhao Sihu hurried over to report.

"King!"

Ouyang Shuo nodded. He dismounted from his horse and asked, "What's the situation?"

"Around a thousand beasts swarmed out, two Tyrannosauruses, 12 Pterosaurs, and the remaining were basically Stegosauruses and Neovenators."

When Gaia released the information piece, it gave a simple introduction of the types of beasts. As a King Ranked historical general, Zhao Sihu had a communication compass, so he naturally understood it.

The beasts on Planet Hope and dinosaurs were really similar. More accurately speaking, they were like dinosaurs that had evolved a second time. While they were smaller in size, they had firmer muscles, tougher skin, sharper claws and teeth, more explosiveness, and more terrifying breeding speed.

Especially the final point, which was the deadliest. The entire Planet Hope seemed to belong to it.

Hence, Gaia directly named them from dinosaurs.

As for whether there would be fire breathing dragons like in western legends or not, the scouting squadron did not find any relevant details, so Gaia had no idea.

Even so, it was already really horrifying.

Based on the description from Zhao Sihu, normal swords and blades without primordial energy could not cause deadly harm to these beasts.

As for arrows, they had little effect. Only ones like the three bow arcuballistas could threaten the beasts. Even the God arm crossbow was useless.

To make matters worse, the mounts were not stable in front of the beasts, even the Qingfu Horses. As a result, the cavalry could only abandon their horses and fight.

Against the beast horde, one could not use orthodox strategies.

In such a short while, 600 people from the 1st legion had died.

When Ouyang Shuo heard that, his expression was really solemn.

"Move, let's go to the frontlines to take a look."

Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate, bringing the Divine Martial Guards to the fighting warzone. When Zhao Sihu saw that, he immediately chased up. At the same time, he moved troops to protect the safety of the king.

They walked for less than a kilometer before a Pterosaur charged down.

The beast stretched its wings, flying close to the ground. With a 'Xiu!" it shot down amongst the City Protection Legion Corps. When it flew up once more, its hind legs grabbed onto a soldier.

The beast flew up high before loosening its claws. The soldier fell from the sky and would probably not survive...
