76: Chapter 76 The Beast Tide Ends

After seeing the notification clearly, Mumu furrowed her brows tightly.

So, this skill required sacrificing her own level to summon the Undead Warriors.

Not daring to act rashly, she chose to sacrifice 5 levels.

The next second, the ground beneath her feet began to shake violently.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, translucent arms exuding black energy shot out from the ground!

Immediately after, an Undead Warrior covered in black armor with an obscured face appeared before Mumu.

Soon, one hundred warriors stood in unison before Mumu, each with a conspicuous 10-minute countdown floating above their heads.

Mumu understood that this meant they could only fight for her for 10 minutes.

"Go, block the monsters."

The next second, the squad of Undead Warriors joined the ranks resisting the Beast Tide.

However, the results were not ideal.

Their attack power was clearly not high enough to inflict significant, widespread damage.

Instead, they were wiped out after just a few hits from the monsters in the Beast Tide.

Seeing this, Mumu gasped.

Gritting her teeth, she activated the Undead Summoning once again.

This time, without any hesitation, she chose to wipe out her own level entirely.

Immediately after, a prominent notification popped up:

[Player Butt Bug detected with a level below 20; forcibly sent back to the Novice Village.]

"No..." Jiang He shouted, his voice cracking, as he abruptly looked toward Mumu in the distance.

Jiang He had witnessed Mumu's transformation the entire time.

But he could never understand why, even though his sister was still right there, her level had suddenly dropped to one.

The moment before Mumu vanished, she shouted with all her might toward Jiang He's direction: "Brother, Mumu is not a burden."

A flash of white light, and Mumu vanished from the spot.

Just then, a massive tornado mixed with blinding lightning swept in violently from behind the beast horde.

When this tornado, carrying an aura of destruction, reached the front of the Beast Tide, it suddenly dissipated.

Rows of warriors covered in pitch-black heavy armor, riding black warhorses, appeared on the spot.

The leader, an Undead Warrior holding a black flag high, let out a hoarse and heavy roar: "Kill."

In an instant, all the players were stunned!

"What? What's going on? Where did these reinforcements come from?"

Jiang He watched the ensuing battle, dumbfounded.

The attack power of these Undead Warriors was ridiculously high.

They could actually slay a BOSS in just a dozen strikes, and every single strike was a critical hit.

"This... did Mumu do this?"

He muttered to himself in disbelief.

Beep, beep, beep. The friend list flashed with a notification.

[Butt Bug]: Brother, I've returned to the Novice Village. Don't worry, with Little Dog helping me grind monsters, I'll be back soon. I... I've grown up, I can handle it myself.

Seeing the message, Jiang He sighed heavily.

He felt a wave of warmth, but he was still worried about his sister being alone.

But given the current situation, he had no other choice.

[Game ID]: Good, be very careful, if anything happens, ask the village chief for help.

On the other side, in the conference room.

"Young Master, this is bad! A huge group of warriors in black armor suddenly appeared from nowhere! They are helping Chang'an City resist the Beast Tide!"

"Damn it!"

Zhang Zixuan slammed his palm onto the table, making the teacup lid jump.

Throughout the entire battle today, he had been receiving real-time reports through informants.

When he learned that the people of Chang'an City were actually using the method of sacrificing levels and health to hold off the Beast Tide, he was absolutely delighted.

Not to mention whether they could successfully defend, even if they did, by that time, his Zhang Zixuan's team would absolutely crush everyone else in Chang'an City in terms of levels.

But before this excitement could even last a few minutes, he received such an inexplicable message?

"Damn, how did they do it? Where did the reinforcements come from?"

Although Zhang Zixuan racked his brains, he couldn't figure out the connection.

He was so angry that his fists clenched until they cracked.

However, he soon forced himself to calm down and eventually accepted the reality.

Even if they had managed to get these reinforcements from somewhere, data analysis showed that 300,000 people in Chang'an City had already been killed back to the Novice Village.

The average level of the remaining people had also dropped below level 32.

This was already a huge advantage for his next plan.

"Hmph, keep watching and report any situation immediately." Zhang Zixuan ordered with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Young Master!"

Zhang Zixuan's fingers tapped the table impatiently.

Now he only hoped that the final minute of the Beast Tide's onslaught would kill a few more people and further weaken Chang'an City's strength.

Outside Chang'an City, because of the addition of the powerful Undead Warrior reinforcements.

Although they still couldn't completely block the entire offensive of the Beast Tide, they greatly reduced player deaths.

At this moment, the countdown finally ticked to the last minute.

"Brothers, hold on, there's only one minute left."

At this moment, the eyes of all the surviving players were red.

They knew that Chang'an City had held out.

But the price of this victory was truly too heavy.

Even so, no one retreated; everyone was charging forward regardless of anything!

The last minute passed, and the surging Beast Tide finally began to recede like the tide.

All the surviving players let out earth-shaking shouts.

Some cursed to vent their anger, some cried with joy to release their emotions; all kinds of sounds rose and fell, echoing over the entire battlefield outside Chang'an City.

[Congratulations to Chang'an City for successfully resisting the Beast Tide invasion]

[Reward: All players who participated in the battle will receive a fivefold return of the experience points gained during the battle]

[Reward: One Warrior Medal (permanently increases all attributes by 5% when worn)]

[Reward: 10 million Chang'an City gold coins]

[Chang'an City exclusive store function has been unlocked]

[Pet system has been unlocked]

[Guild territory construction function has been unlocked]

[The map range around Chang'an City has expanded by 5%]

System notification sounds rang in the ears of all players one after another.

At this moment, they realized clearly: the real game had only just begun.

The battle was completely over, and all the surviving players gathered outside the imperial palace hall.

Waiting for the Empress to bestow additional awards.

Before the official awards, Jiang He led everyone to carefully count the huge losses from this battle.

The price was truly too great.

The latest level leaderboard clearly reflected the tragic nature of the battle:

ID: Game ID (Level 41)

ID: Ronin (Level 40)

ID: Battle Soul (Level 37)

...

ID: Blood Blade (Level 32)

ID: Qingming Yushang (Level 31)

...

Blood Blade, who was originally level 40, had dropped to level 32 after this bloody battle and the fivefold experience compensation.

If there hadn't been experience compensation, he would have been at most level 20-something right now.

Now, on the entire Chang'an City leaderboard, apart from Jiang He, the top 50 were basically all Zhang Zixuan's people.

This also included some shrewd players who did not participate in this battle and secretly logged off early to avoid the risk.

Next, the Empress fulfilled her promise and distributed all 10 million gold coins rewarded by the system to the players who had fought bloody battles.

At the same time, she also took out three additional guild tokens as the highest reward.

These three tokens were naturally distributed to the largest and most distinguished player groups in Chang'an City.

The faction represented by Gu Qingming also received one.

As for the gold coins, because there were so many participants, on average, each player only received a dozen or so gold coins.

However, this was enough to make many ordinary players incredibly excited.

According to the current exchange rate of gold coins to real-world currency, these dozen or so gold coins were a not-insignificant income, even comparable to the earnings of some small studios after weeks of hard work.

After distributing all the rewards, the players went their separate ways according to their own plans: some called friends to form teams to level up, while others chose to log off quickly to rest and replenish the vast energy consumed by the days of fierce fighting.

Inside the Viscounts Manor.

Jiang He was busy with a major task; he was using his privileges to pay out of his own pocket to refresh hundreds of brand-new tasks on the mission board, specifically for players who urgently needed to level up after the disaster of the Beast Tide.

The next second, the system's notification sound rang throughout the city:

[The mission distribution center has urgently updated 120 brand-new missions; all players, please proceed quickly to claim them.]

In an instant, the entire public chat channel of Chang'an City was ignited, and words of praise flooded the screen like a flood:

"Viscount is too awesome!"

"Viscount, I love you to death!"

"Wuwuwu... Viscount! You are the eternal god in our hearts!"

Jiang He directly ignored these fanatical praises in the channel.

He turned to Xiao Yao beside him and got straight to the point:

"Has the location for the guild territory been decided?"

Bai Luoyao was just about to answer.

Suddenly, two consecutive shocking server-wide announcements exploded above the heads of all players:

[Congratulations to player Qingming Yushang for successfully creating the guild · "Changfeng Pavilion"]

[Congratulations to player Ronin for successfully creating the guild · "Yongye Guild"]
