Defense mode changed to annihilation mode

Ten minutes later, the Professionals cleared out the last puppy, and everyone's eyes converged on Lin Yuan once again.

"Holy crap, did anyone see that just now? The Zerg Flying Dragon was one-shotted!"

"I saw it. It was that cool guy wearing the blood-colored armor. One sword strike dealt over 2 million damage, and it took him two hits to one-shot the Zerg Flying Dragon."

"One sword strike dealt 2 million damage? Is that for real?"

"Why would I lie to you? Captain Ling Yi was standing right there and saw it clearly."

Ling Yi had indeed seen it clearly. He knew deep down that he might never forget the scene he had just witnessed. The sword light descended like thunder, instantly shredding the Zerg Flying Dragon into pieces.

At this very moment, Ling Yi finally realized. He finally understood why Lin Yuan had asked about the Mother Body earlier. So, his goal was to kill the Tier 5 Zerg Flying Dragon Mother Body. If he could one-shot a Zerg Flying Dragon with a single strike, killing the Mother Body was not an impossible task.

"Is your goal the Tier 5 Zerg Flying Dragon Mother Body?" Ling Yi asked in a low voice.

"You could say that." Lin Yuan nodded. Strictly speaking, what Lin Yuan had his eyes on was the reproductive capability of the Flying Dragon Mother Body.

Although the Zerg Flying Dragon from just now didn't grant experience, it dropped a Tier 5 Agility Essence. Most importantly, it could increase evolution points.

The importance of evolution points went without saying. Whether A Li could advance to Tier 6 depended on whether the Flying Dragon Mother Body's womb was up to the task.

【30 minutes until the fourth wave of attacks, please prepare for battle】

【Time taken to kill the Zerg Flying Dragon was less than 1 minute; you may choose to start Annihilation Mode】

【Yes/No to activate Annihilation Mode】

All the Professionals could see the first notification, so they immediately went below to clean up the battlefield.

After the Zerg died, their corpses would disappear after 1 minute, but the dropped items would not, so the speed of cleaning the battlefield was very fast.

Only Lin Yuan could see the second notification. He rubbed his chin and asked Ling Yi, "Do you know what Annihilation Mode is?"

Ling Yi wore a bewildered expression. "Annihilation Mode?" "What is that?" "The Zerg Nest has always been in Defense Mode here."

"Under normal circumstances, it launches an attack once every three days. During a riot, it will launch 9 consecutive attacks within a single day."

"Alright then." Lin Yuan knew he had asked that question in vain. He estimated that since the Zerg Nest had appeared, no one had ever killed an invading BOSS in under 1 minute.

"Annihilation Mode." Lin Yuan repeated it in a low voice. Since it was called Annihilation, was it possible that it meant annihilating all the Zerg and permanently closing the rift Dungeon before them?

If that were really the case, Tianfeng City wouldn't have to worry about the Zerg Nest rioting in the future, and the Demon Suppression Army wouldn't have to be stationed here day and night, guarding against the Zerg passing through the rift.

Furthermore, they might even end up with a stable, super-large Dungeon. Should he choose it or not?

If he didn't choose Annihilation Mode, Lin Yuan would definitely be able to withstand the 9 waves of attacks. Once the attacks ended, Lin Yuan would merely receive the rewards for a Nightmare Dungeon, definitely failing to achieve a perfect clear.

If he chose Annihilation Mode, it was very likely that the bugs from the subsequent waves would all appear at once. Perhaps the Tier 5 Zerg Flying Dragon Mother Body would even mobilize along with a Flying Dragon army; it would definitely be a bitter battle.

Lin Yuan himself would be fine, but he couldn't guarantee that the Professionals behind him would be safe.

"Ghost." Lin Yuan raised his hand, and Ghost immediately understood. A throne formed from assembled white bones appeared in mid-air.

Lin Yuan stepped onto the bone stairs, walking step by step toward the throne. Sitting on the throne, Lin Yuan gently tapped the armrest made of white bone, looking down at the others from above.

"I am preparing to activate Annihilation Mode. Those who want to stay, remain where you are." "Those who don't want to stay can leave now." "You have 10 seconds to consider."

After 10 seconds, not a single person chose to leave. Are you kidding? Just based on that one move where A Li one-shotted the Zerg Flying Dragon, everyone was already completely convinced.

Moreover, the way Lin Yuan walked toward the throne with such a badass entrance was exactly like a super demon king. Now that the demon king had spoken and said he would take them to clear the Dungeon, these people were too happy to leave; how could they possibly leave?

The cigarette butt in Hu Sanming's mouth had burned down to just a tiny bit. He reached out and extinguished it, his face filled with excitement. "Brothers, the moment to strike it rich has arrived!" "Follow Great God Lin Yuan, and we will be the heroes of Tianfeng City."

That was correct. When they heard about Annihilation Mode, these people's first reaction was that Lin Yuan was going to completely destroy the Zerg Nest rift.

If this had been before Lin Yuan one-shotted the Zerg Flying Dragon, these people might have thought Lin Yuan was just having a pipe dream. But at this very moment, everyone only felt that what Lin Yuan said was a fact.

"Very good." Lin Yuan nodded. "I'll say the ugly things first." "Since you've decided to stay, you must follow orders." "Whatever I tell you to do, you do." "Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison, including Ling Yi. At this moment, Ling Yi was no longer the commander. There was only one commander, and that was Lin Yuan on the throne.

"Select Annihilation Mode." The moment it was confirmed, the war fog around the fortress completely dissipated, and a miniature map appeared in Lin Yuan's hand. At the end of the map was a white skull, which was the location of the Tier 5 Flying Dragon Mother Body.

Along the way, there were dense clusters of many different colored light dots. The white ones were the most numerous, with over five hundred thousand, representing Tier 1 Tiao Ling Insects. The gray ones were next, with over three hundred thousand, representing Tier 2 Spike Snakes. There were one hundred thousand yellow ones, which were Tier 3 Tank Bugs. The brown ones were the fewest; those were the Tier 5 Zerg Flying Dragons, totaling three including the Mother Body.

【Annihilation Mode activated】 【Please kill the Tier 5 Zerg Flying Dragon Mother Body (Morabi) within 6 hours and close the Zerg Nest rift】 【If you fail, the Zerg Nest rift will increase by one level】

The moment Annihilation Mode was activated, the rift inside the fortress suddenly closed. Outside the Dungeon, Meng Zhan was guarding in front of the rift. Discovering that the rift had suddenly closed, his expression changed immediately. "What happened!"

Luo Yushang suddenly spoke up, pointing at the map that had appeared above the rift. "Look, what is that?" Everyone looked in the direction Luo Yushang was pointing, and a light-screen map appeared where the rift had originally been.

"Is this a map of the Zerg Nest?" Meng Zhan said, somewhat unsure. Everyone observed carefully and discovered there were 100 green light dots in the bottom right corner. These light dots were the 100 Professionals, including Lin Yuan.

On the entire map, besides the 100 green light dots, white, gray, and yellow occupied ninety-nine percent of the map's area.

"I know!" Lin Yandong's eyes lit up. He pointed to the location of the skull and said, "Lin Yuan must have triggered some mechanism that caused the Zerg Nest to change from the previous Defense Mode to the current Offensive Mode."

"Now, the Professionals inside just need to find the shortest route to the final BOSS. After killing the BOSS, they might have a chance to completely close the Zerg Nest fortress."
