The ponytail girl’s proposal left Lu Yu even more puzzled.
Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise, “Can this money actually be used to summon guards? Does this space have such an ability?”
“This space cannot even be cleared by a single wave through individual strength alone. Therefore, summoning guards to fight is normal. Besides, this is the setting of this space.” The girl pointed toward the other side and said, “Look, aren’t they all summoning? Everyone who enters brings at least ten million star spirits stones. Since the rewards become more generous further in, some people can earn back multiples—sometimes even tenfold—of what they invested.”
It was only then that Lu Yu noticed everyone else standing still in their places, their fingers continuously tapping in midair.
Someone had two wolves beside him, both of which were at the ninth level of power.
Some people had two armored warriors by their side, who were also of the ninth-level cultivation realm.
Moreover, someone had summoned more than a dozen fierce tigers to crouch beside them, each possessing strength at the ninth level.
“How do you summon this?” Lu Yu asked, looking at the girl.
By now, he could already feel the murderous gazes coming from all directions.
“This guy is really going too far.”
“Damn it, actually using this method to get close to a beautiful girl.”
“Die early and reincarnate early. I’ll kill him right now.”
“Show a bit of self-awareness in front of a beautiful woman. If that woman can endure the first few rounds, we’ll have a chance to work together. Otherwise, even the most beautiful woman is useless here. Once we’re out there, where can’t we find any woman we want?”
If glances could kill, Lu Yu would have been minced long ago.
Especially when the young girl really moved a bit closer to Lu Yu, explaining the method of summoning, the gazes became even more terrifying.
“The cheapest among the guardians are the beasts, followed by the armor warriors, which are basically just armor suits without a person inside. Within each type of guardian, there is a top-tier evolved form. Each time you survive a wave of beast tide, the evolved forms gain some enhanced strength. The armor-type has strong attack but slow speed, while the beast-type has weak defense but the strongest attack and high speed. You can also add a shield for yourself, although that’s the most expensive option, and rarely chosen by people.”
The girl tapped her forehead lightly and giggled: “I forgot to mention, here our maximum strength is only Star Lord level. The beast tides, however, have no such limit—they grow stronger with each wave. I’ve heard that even the strongest person around barely survived a level five beast tide.”
Lu Yu asked curiously, “Does a Level 5 beast tide mean beasts of Level 5?”
“Yeah, the fifth-level beast tide consists entirely of fifth-level beasts.”
Lu Yu looked around. There were nearly a hundred Supreme Guards alone. He became even more puzzled and muttered, “With so many Supreme Guards, not even a fifth-level beast could withstand them.”
The girl shook her head and said, “A beast tide—it’s like a tidal wave of creatures. You’ll understand why when you see it for yourself.”
“Thank you,” Lu Yu nodded to the girl and asked with a smile, “Would you mind telling me your name? If I manage to get out alive, I’ll be sure to come thank you in person.”
“Not at all,” the girl said, blinking her big eyes. “If you want my name, wait until you walk out of here first.”
The young girl turned around, her beautiful hair flowing in the air.
She had already run to one side and formed a team with several girls.
“I forgot to mention this to you earlier. With your ten thousand Star Spirit Stones, it’s best to first summon a suit of armor. Since the first wave of beasts isn’t very fast, having an armored guard will give you a better chance of surviving if you also receive support from another party. Remember, you must secure assistance from another side; otherwise, it will definitely be impossible to make it on your own.”
The girl stuck her tongue out at Lu Yu, looking very adorable.
Lu Yu opened the summoning panel and found that it was indeed divided into three options: beast-type guardian, armor-type guardian, and shield.
Lu Yu murmured to himself, “The cheapest armor guard is level three, costing ten thousand Star Spirit Stones. Hmm, that’s not expensive. The highest-level guard is level nine, not even close to a Star Lord. They don’t have any skills, just simple guards.”
Every guard can be upgraded.
If you upgrade, you can only reach level nine at most.
Guardian Level 9, essentially just one step away from becoming a Star Lord.
Moreover, the money required to upgrade and directly summon a level-nine guard is the same.
Once reaching level nine, further upgrades would require exponentially increased costs.
The Star Lord-class guardian costs one hundred thousand star spirit stones.
The Star Lord’s ultimate grade costs two hundred thousand.
A Supreme Guardian with ten million attributes requires four hundred thousand Star Spirit Stones.
Lu Yu saw that many people had summoned Level 9 guardians and then directly upgraded to the Supreme Level.
Someone immediately summoned ten至尊-level guards, spending four million Star Spirit Stones at once.
People in this category are all at the billionaire level.
Like Will and Xiao Fei Bai, each was accompanied by twenty guardian guards of the highest rank.
There were more than thirty people like him.
After they demonstrated such financial strength, they began to attract many people to join their ranks.
Before long, more than thirty small factions had already been divided up.
Several girls were the weakest, with only dozens of level-nine armored guards around them.
Lu Yu noticed that a few individuals, including Will, had summoned an evolved guardian once again.
An evolved guardian is only at level one, yet it costs one hundred million star spirit stones.
Ordinary people usually can’t afford it.
In this way, the factions immediately became clear about who belonged to which side.
However, no one invited Lu Yu, and even fewer people went to see him.
Lu Yu stood alone at the edge of the grassland.
The shadow of the deity was still there, but his gaze fell upon Lu Yu, and after a brief glance, he quickly withdrew his eyes.
No one noticed the anomaly of the deity.
“The first wave of the beast tide will begin in thirty seconds. If you die before the beast tide ends, you will experience true death. Skill restrictions are now in effect. From this moment onward, all skills except recovery-type skills are unavailable until the end of each beast tide wave.”
The voice of the deity rang out.
A digital countdown appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Lu Yu looked at the shadow of the deity, his heart quivered, and suddenly he realized that this place would not be easy to pass through.
If one possesses the skills, even a weak life form can nearly rival the might of the supreme beings, capable of slaying thousands or even tens of thousands with a single sword strike.
However, with his skills restricted, his attacking power was greatly reduced.
Relying solely on the weapon’s own destructive power, how many enemies could be slain with a single sword strike?
If the beast tide consists of a million creatures, and we fail to eliminate them all, we’ll be overwhelmed and left with no choice but to wait for death.
The young girl saw Lu Yu still standing there lost in thought and urged repeatedly, “Summon! Why aren’t you summoning? If you can’t even spare ten thousand star spirits, do you want to die?”
“Why don’t you come over here? Let us protect you through this first wave,” a young girl urged quickly. “You should leave here as soon as possible afterward. This isn’t a place where you can just wander in out of curiosity—it could cost you your life.”
Several girls kept waving at Lu Yu, urging him repeatedly.
On the other side, a man sneered coldly, “I told you so. Curiosity kills. You still insisted on coming in. Isn’t this just asking for death?”
“If you really end up surrounded by women, you’d be better off committing suicide,” someone scoffed. “A man without courage is no man at all.”
“If you’ve got the guts, then die here in battle, so we can remember you.”
Many people began to speak out, looking at Lu Yu with disdain.
The girl with the ponytail said, “Don’t listen to them. Without your life, you’ve got nothing. Hurry up and summon your guardian; you can make it through the first wave.”
Lu Yu nodded at the several young girls and smiled, saying, “Thank you for your kindness. I’ll take a look first before deciding.”
The girl with the ponytail was about to speak again.
However, the countdown had already reached zero at this point.
Howl…
In an instant, dark clouds loomed overhead, and the lush green grassland turned pitch black.
The entire plain was densely covered with countless black wolves. These black wolves were all only level one, but their numbers…
Million?
No—
Lu Yu found himself too optimistic in his guess.
This hundreds is more than ten times a million!
Ten million?
No, at least one hundred million.
How much is this exactly!
Even Lu Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and change expression.
So many black wolves, even if they were only at level one, would be enough to make him feel alarmed.
He finally understood what the girl had meant.
None of them could use their skills, so they had to rely solely on brute strength to fight and kill.
If a level-five beast tide consists of 100 million level-five beasts, such a number would surely wear them out and exhaust them to death!
This is Wang Zaiqiang, who is, after all, just a king. This is why he would also feel apprehensive when facing a nation or a powerful force.
One person may not be able to match a hundred, but a hundred can’t match a thousand, and a thousand can’t match ten thousand—you will eventually be dragged down and worn out!
Lu Yu looked at Bai Xiaofei and the others again; they had already fixed their serious gazes on the distant wolf pack.
Except for the area where they were standing, which was about a hundred zhang in diameter, all around them were black wolves, each as strong and sturdy as a young calf.
Boom!
The black wolves surged forward in unison, like a swarm of locusts sweeping across the land, rushing toward the group of people.
The guards sprang into action, wielding their sharp swords. With a single swing, they could slay several wolves at once. After cutting down over a hundred wolves, the force of their sword swings finally began to wane.
With an ability on the scale of millions, this is already the limit.
All the guards sprang into action, forming a barrier to prevent the black wolves from overwhelming the group.
Bai Xiaofei and others also joined the fight.
They were even less formidable, capable of killing only a dozen or so with a single punch or sword strike.
The young girl no longer had time to look at Lu Yu.
She fought alongside several companions.
When she turned her head to look back at the place where Lu Yu had been standing, she found that the spot was already overwhelmed by the wolf pack.
Sigh.
The young girl lightly shook her head.
A man coldly snorted and said, “He came here to die by his own hand; how can he blame others for that?”
“Take it seriously, everyone. Don’t underestimate these level-one black wolves. If billions of them charge together, they’ll overwhelm you and you’ll die too.”
“That’s right. This is the best place for practical training and enhancing one’s skills. But it’s also the fastest way to get killed.”
Someone in the team shouted a loud reminder.
Bang!
At the spot where Lu Yu stood, several wolves suddenly had their skulls shattered.
All the wolves that had engulfed Lu Yu collapsed outward in all directions, revealing his body.
“What, he’s not dead yet!” someone exclaimed, looking in surprise at Lu Yu.
I discovered that Lu Yu was not only still alive, but completely unharmed despite being surrounded by a pack of wolves, without even a single wound on his body.
“Auww.”
The smell of blood stimulated the wolf to rush towards Lu Yu.
This time, dozens of them rushed forward together.
Lu Yu’s fists moved in succession, each punch landing like a warhammer striking heavily upon the wolf’s head.
One by one, wolf heads exploded, and the crimson blood turned into a shower of light in midair before vanishing.
“Roar.”
Two wild wolves from behind lunged at Lu Yu, closing the distance to within less than two feet. Their mouths opened wide, aiming for Lu Yu’s neck.
Lu Yu moved his hands, so fast that people in the distance were left dazzled.
Lu Yu grabbed the heads of the two wild wolves and slammed them forcefully into the ground.
Bang!
The skulls of the two wild wolves were crushed to pieces.
“Who is this?” a man exclaimed in surprise. “He’s clearly only at level one, yet he has the strength to instantly kill a wild wolf of the same level. What’s his potential development? Could it actually exceed seventy-five percent?”
