246: Chapter 246 The Third Wave of Monsters

Just as Chen Fan was experimenting, the World Channel had already exploded.

“How did they clear them out so cleanly? There are so many bird-men; it would take hours just to fight them, right?”

“I’m really not being ungrateful or jealous or anything. Big shots of District One, did you really not use cheats?”

“What’s the point of asking now? They’ve already finished the mission. Even if they had cheats, they’ve turned them off.”

“That’s right, if they turned them off, it means they didn’t use them!”

“How many more do you guys have? The sky here is full of bird-men, and so many Players have already logged off.”

“Who hasn’t? Once these things spread out, you can only blast them one by one. Damn it, my head is about to explode.”

“Don’t even mention it. Our district has already had 100,000 Players log off...”

“Is it that miserable for you guys upstairs? Did the Players in your district not scatter?”

“They didn’t at first. It was only after a large number of people died that they scattered.”

“Awesome...”

“I actually have a way. Everyone can send one destroyer forward; that will attract a group of bird-men to swarm it, and then you can focus fire to wipe them out in groups.”

“Good idea. You can’t deal damage to your own people when District War Mode is on, so you can blast away to your heart’s content.”

“Holy crap? There’s actually a District War Mode?”

“Don’t you know? What kind of idiots are in your district...”

“...”

Players were discussing it heatedly.

Some people did tag Chen Fan, wanting to learn from his experience.

But this time, Chen Fan really couldn’t teach others.

After all, this method was something only he could use.

Looking at the pictures sent from other regions, it would still take another hour or two to clear out those bird-men filling the sky.

There were five waves of monsters in total, and they had only just reached the second wave.

Once the second wave ended, the total time would likely exceed three hours.

The following three waves would only be more difficult, and each wave could potentially take over two hours.

In other words, five waves of monsters would take over ten hours!

Furthermore, at 12:00 AM, there was a high probability of an invasion by Dark Creatures.

Chen Fan even thought of a terrifying possibility.

What if, when it reached 12:00 AM, the Players still hadn’t finished fighting these five waves of monsters...

Thinking of this, Chen Fan immediately began to command:

“All Players, return to the cabin and sleep. From now on, there might not be any time to rest.”

As he finished speaking, the Players exclaimed in surprise:

“Why?”

“Boss, what did you discover? Please explain it to us clearly.”

“Yeah, Boss, explain it. We don’t understand.”

“...”

Chen Fan took a deep breath and voiced his speculation.

Suddenly, the sound of gasps echoed across the sea area.

The monster invasion ends during the day, and then seamlessly connects to the night?

Damn, who can handle this?

Although what Chen Fan said was bizarre, when they thought about it carefully, all the Players felt that this possibility was very high.

So, after grumbling for a while, the Players crawled into the cabins and started to catch up on sleep.

“Brother, you should go get some sleep too.” Jiu Jiu came over and said with a smile.

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and looked at Luo Li:

“You go rest. Mute all notifications. I’ll command the next wave.”

“But...” Luo Li hesitated.

“No ‘buts’. This is a war of attrition. The last wave might be the strongest and last the longest, so I’ll take command. I’ll go rest during the fourth wave.”

Hearing this, Luo Li nodded, “Okay, Brother Fan, take care. I’m going to sleep.”

The other six women, at Chen Fan’s signal, also went to rest.

The entire sea area returned to calm.

Chen Fan opened the World Channel interface and kept it hanging on the side.

He reduced the Exploration range to ten degrees and slowly turned his body, checking for movement all around.

Aurell had long since taken Kuka into the sky, patrolling with a high-altitude view.

After more than half an hour, Chen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The dungeon world was the same as before.

Except for 20 more whirlpools around, everything was as usual.

Another hour passed before the other regions cleared the level on a large scale.

A series of clear-level rewards kept scrolling across the screen.

Chen Fan glanced at it and saw their rewards were only one-tenth of District One’s, and nodded slightly.

Suddenly, an extremely domineering aura came whistling over.

Chen Fan’s expression tightened, and he opened the regional channel:

“Wake up! Prepare for battle!”

Except for Luo Li, who had muted all sounds, all the Players were suddenly awakened.

“Damn!!!”

“Huh, is the Boss commanding this wave?”

“I guess so. Didn’t Big Sister Head go to sleep earlier?”

“Commanding takes too much energy, so this allocation is good.”

“Stop yapping, hurry up and prepare to fight!”

After the training of the first two waves, the Players’ discipline had strengthened a lot, and within a short time, they had made preparations for battle.

Chen Fan nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the teleportation whirlpool.

【Ding!】

【The third wave of monsters is coming.】

Immediately, the World Channel exploded.

“Holy crap, we haven’t even finished fighting yet, how come another one is coming?”

“Isn’t this ridiculous? We just finished fighting and haven’t even rested yet, and the next wave is here.”

“Is it because District One finished too fast, or did most regions finish? How did this wave come so quickly?”

“It shouldn’t have anything to do with that. I guess there’s a fixed time for each wave.”

“...”

Chen Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he expanded his Exploration to cover six or seven whirlpools at once.

Suddenly, a sharp killing intent emerged from the whirlpools.

Low roars came one after another, and figures of huge size rushed out from the whirlpools.

“Holy crap, what are these things?”

“Centaurs? Bears? Owl Beasts? And wolves! Are you really playing a game?”

The Players exclaimed repeatedly.

The four types of monsters rushing out from the whirlpools were each taller than a person, with the tallest exceeding three meters, and lengths ranging from three to ten meters.

They ignored the seawater and ran through the air.

At the first moment, Chen Fan took his helicopter and appeared above the whirlpool.

“Recruit.”

“Spirit Control.”

【Obtained: Centaur x1. Hell Bear Monster x1. Owl Beast x1. Giant Wolf x1.】

Scanning their attributes, Chen Fan frowned slightly.

The Owl Beast and the wolf were passive skills that added armor and attack, respectively.

The Centaur and the Bear Monster did have active skills.

One was War Stomp, which could stun surrounding targets, and the other was Thunder Clap, which dealt damage to surrounding targets.

But the downside was that the range of both skills was only 30 meters, and the stun duration and damage were extremely low.

Looking at their massive size, it was impossible to achieve infinite stun or instant high-damage kills by stacking numbers.

“What a pity, I can only kill them.”

“There’s no point in clearing the level by recruiting; it’s better to let the Players practice.”

Thinking of this, Chen Fan immediately gave the instruction:

“All Players in front of the whirlpools, split into two groups. The left side, focus fire!”

Boom, boom, boom—

Without any nonsense, the Players executed immediately.

After one round of bombardment, a small portion of the four types of monsters were killed or injured, but most of them continued to rush forward.

“Right side, focus fire!”

Boom—

Compared to Luo Li, Chen Fan’s command was much simpler and more brutal.

Of course, more importantly, these monsters were not like the first two waves, which could be mostly wiped out with one volley.

The armor provided by the Owl Beasts greatly improved the monsters’ survivability.

Only the first batch of monsters withstood four volleys before being cleared out.
