61: Night Owl's defense has been broken again, and its level has been upgraded!

“Holy cow, who is that? He’s actually taking a stroll through the Demon Army?!”

“Damn, he took down a Demonic Giant Bear! How brutal!”

“He took a slap from the Giant Bear and was fine, that’s interesting…”

“Hiss… it looks like an old man. Could he be new?”

“He’s so fierce. Shouldn’t someone like him join the exploration team? Why is he here…”

“He’s definitely a new recruit. The higher-ups probably haven’t had a chance to discover him yet…”

“I’m so envious. Gold shines wherever it goes, unlike me… I only cause trouble…”

“……”

During the demon siege, Night Owl’s scout team was idle.

Many people were discussing the orange-yellow light below.

Night Owl smacked his lips, unable to help but sigh.

He felt very uneasy.

They were all players, so why was the difference so huge!

This was really messing with his mindset!

If he didn’t have a mission, he would really want to smash his helmet right now!

What the heck!

……

“Ding! You killed [Demonic Spider Lv18], gaining 1 Merit Point!”

“Ding! You killed [Demon Assassin Lv19], gaining 2 Merit Points!”

“Ding! You killed [Demonic Giant Ant Lv20]……”

After killing the last few stragglers, the first wave of attack was successfully defended.

Chen Beixuan opened his panel. His Merit Points had already reached over 40,000, satisfying the 30,000 required to leave.

However, he didn’t want to leave so early.

There were many monsters and BOSSes here, which was very suitable for him.

Moreover, he had developed a strong interest in the items in the treasury.

He planned to farm a large amount of Merit Points and then exchange for something big.

His goal… let’s set it at 1,000,000 Merit Points for now!

He subsequently killed 3 Black Iron BOSSes, acquiring a full basket of blue and green equipment.

The first wave’s quantity and difficulty were relatively simple; he was more looking forward to the later waves of attack.

Based on previous trends, there would likely be a Brilliant-grade lexical entry at level 30, and he really wanted to know what its effect would be.

Speaking of which, Chen Beixuan felt a bit depressed.

10 consecutive draws hit the pity timer, as expected of someone with 1 Luck…

Then again, if he had good luck, he wouldn’t have transmigrated into a disabled old man.

It’s hard to say…

Above the city wall.

Archers and mages took advantage of the brief intermission to replenish their mana and heal their injuries.

Battle-hardened veterans comforted the new recruits beside them, generously teaching survival skills.

The entire city was like a precise instrument, and the veterans were its parts.

Ensuring the machine operated normally.

In the first wave of attack, Sunset City lost nearly a hundred mages and archers.

But no one was sad, nor did they have time to be sad.

Because they knew the subsequent attacks would only be more intense.

The real battle had just begun!

As the alarm sounded again, the demons launched their second wave of attack!

This time, not only were more units dispatched, but flying demonic insects also appeared.

They covered the sky like a swarm of locusts!

Chen Beixuan’s gaze remained unperturbed. Reconnaissance showed that the second wave’s level ranged from 18 to 23.

At this rate of increase, the fifth wave should be around levels 27 to 31.

That would be entirely enough for him to reach level 30.

“Protective Flame!”

Whoosh—

The 24-meter burning range instantly expanded, and his Merit Points soared frantically!

With over 15,000 damage per second, it was almost instant death upon contact, or crippling upon touch.

He even felt it wasn’t exciting enough and began to shuttle wildly, relying on his 140% movement speed bonus.

He crisscrossed left and right, circling around, turning the city defense into a Dynasty Warriors-style hack-and-slash game.

With his charge, the Demon Army’s formation instantly fell into chaos.

Their previous unstoppable momentum was abruptly cut off, and they began to attack haphazardly.

Everyone on the city wall watched dumbfounded.

You could play like this?

They had thought the first wave was already the old man’s limit.

They didn’t expect him to have more trump cards!

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Due to the chaotic formation of the Demon Army, their defensive pressure drastically decreased.

They were also able to shoot down the previously troublesome flying demonic insects in time.

Correspondingly, personnel casualties were also greatly reduced.

All these changes were because of the old man below.

One person alone influenced the battlefield situation!

Papachee shot down a Level 20 Bronze BOSS with an arrow, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

This old man was truly surprising, using such a method to disrupt the enemy army.

He was also a rare military talent!

This discovery made him appreciate the old man even more.

He had already decided to have him join the exploration team after this battle.

Perhaps they could destroy the teleportation array on the demon realm side in one fell swoop, buying humanity a chance to breathe.

Thinking of the recent movements of the demons, his expression involuntarily turned solemn.

“What was bound to come has finally arrived…”

……

“Ding! The 2nd wave of attack has ended. The 3rd wave of attack will begin in 1 minute!”

During the intermission, Chen Beixuan dumped all the blue and white equipment in his backpack to Lu Ziming and Night Owl.

He kept a blue-grade mage robe for himself, with decent attributes.

[Demonic Bearhide Robe]: Level 20 Blue Excellent

Effect 1: HP +600

Effect 2: Constitution +25

Effect 3: Mana recovery speed +20%

——————

The clothes he was wearing were still level 10 green, and he hadn’t thought to change them.

After changing, his HP reached 3780 points, a significant increase.

The second wave yielded over 80,000 Merit Points, totaling 120,000.

There was still a considerable gap to his million-point goal.

However, with his monster-clearing speed, achieving it was only a matter of time.

Ding-a-ling-ling—

The third wave of attack began.

Chen Beixuan raised his hand to close the panel, a slight smile on his lips, and continued to hack and slash.

This time, the army’s level ranged from 21 to 26. Normal monsters had around 8000 HP, and elites had 14000.

They still couldn’t withstand his burning damage.

Moreover, they could provide him with experience points, which was awesome.

While the number of Black Iron BOSSes remained unchanged in the army, many Bronze-grade BOSSes appeared.

This discovery made him kill even more enthusiastically.

“Ding! You killed Bronze-grade BOSS [Demonic Giant Python Lv25], gaining 32 experience points and 50 Merit Points!”

“Ding! You killed [Demon Knight Lv26], gaining 65 experience points and 4 Merit Points!”

“Ding! You killed [Demonic Giant Ant Lv20]……”

……

His experience bar was already close to leveling up, and he received a notification shortly after harvesting!

“Ding! Your level has increased to 28, gaining 3 free attribute points!”

“Ding! Skill - Lexical Entry Assignment has taken effect, gaining the Gold-grade lexical entry [Target Lock]!”

[Target Lock]: Gold Quality

Effect Description: Makes skills automatically correct direction and track targets, ignoring distance. Only effective for projectile-type skills.

——————

“This effect is good… I’ll keep it for now…”

Currently, the only projectile-type skill he had was Chaos Spear, which offered too few options, so he wasn’t in a hurry to use it.

Closing the panel, Chen Beixuan was full of vigor.

Time to farm!

……

Demon Realm, Dusk City.

As the closest place to the spatial passage, it gathered a massive number of demonic creatures and demon soldiers.

There were a full 5 special Demon Realm teleportation arrays set up in the city, continuously pouring out troops.

On the city gate tower,

A pitch-black broadsword was stuck in the paving stones, and a man sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating with his eyes closed, his blood-red long hair fluttering in the wind, exuding an imposing aura.

At this moment, a demon scout hurriedly climbed the city tower and knelt before him.

“Gregg, something has happened!”
