Thus, Lin Bei directly dispatched hundreds of Death Avatars to spread out and hunt shadow creatures deep within the Dark Forest.
System notifications kept ringing in his ears.
Lin Bei found it too noisy, so he activated his Mental Barrier, temporarily blocking the dense system messages.
He opened his Survivor Bracelet and contacted the Wildwind Squad members, asking about their mission progress.
"We've already collected quite a few supply treasure chests and are now planning to enter the Underworld to find you!"
Gale quickly replied, "And this time, by entering the Underworld, we can also claim a ranking reward!"
"Thank you, if it weren't for your help, with our strength, we wouldn't have been able to get the ranking reward at all."
Lin Bei smiled slightly upon hearing this and replied, "These are just small matters, not worth mentioning."
"Oh, by the way, I've established a force, currently in Tianjian City. Do you all want to join?"
Lin Bei directly invited the members of the Wildwind Squad.
"What? You actually established a force?!"
"Really? But... the other Three Major Forces shouldn't just sit idly by, right? Especially the Order Dynasty people, didn't they cause you any trouble?"
Gale asked in surprise.
"Of course they came to cause me trouble."
Lin Bei chuckled and explained, "But, I killed all those people, including the leader of the Order Dynasty."
"Now they are leaderless and in chaos internally, completely unable to attend to other matters."
"As for the people from Jidao and Tianjian Pavilion, they haven't reacted too strongly. After some time, I plan to release the people from these two Major Powers who are imprisoned."
"This time, consider it a lesson for them."
"If they dare to provoke me again in the future, I will personally take action and kill all of them."
Lin Bei's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
However, upon hearing this, the Wildwind Squad members instantly froze on the spot, their breathing stopped.
After a long while, everyone slowly recovered, looking at each other with shock in their eyes.
What did they just hear?
Could it be that they had been too busy these past few days and were hallucinating?
The leader of the Order Dynasty actually died?
And he was killed by Great Lord?
And listening to him... it seems all three Major Powers in Tianjian City suffered at his hands?
This... is this possible?
How does it sound... a bit unrealistic?
Everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Lin Bei knew that what he said was too shocking for them.
So he could only helplessly say, "Alright, you'll know the specific situation once you enter the Underworld."
"We'll discuss other matters in detail when we meet."
"Oh... okay, okay."
The Wildwind Squad members nodded blankly upon hearing this.
Even after the communication ended, everyone's eyes remained vacant, as if they were stunned.
After a while, someone slowly spoke, "Um... what we just heard... it wasn't a hallucination, was it?"
"I don't know, why don't... you hit me and see?"
Slap!
As soon as the words fell, Gale directly slapped the other person hard.
"Holy crap! Boss! You, you, you... you damn it, be gentler! And don't hit my face!"
Battle Tyrannosaurus rubbed his reddened cheek, looking aggrievedly at Gale, whose eyes were still a bit dazed.
"Oh... I'm sorry. I... I just did it subconsciously, I'm really sorry."
Gale slowly came to his senses, looked at his palm, then at Battle Tyrannosaurus, and suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap!" His expression changed, "This... this isn't a hallucination! That means! Great Lord... he really killed the leader of the Order Dynasty?!"
His roar shocked everyone, bringing them all back to their senses.
Everyone looked at each other again, their eyes filled with shock!
"Boss, are we... sure it's only been half a day since we returned? Why do I feel like several years might have passed in the Underworld?"
Battle Tyrannosaurus muttered, his face full of disbelief.
"I don't know!"
Gale shook his head frantically upon hearing this, saying with some doubt, "Did we accidentally enter a special space while collecting supply treasure chests, causing time to accelerate, and actually a long time has passed outside?"
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Finally, the only female in the team, Vanilla Nemo, broke the silence.
She pointed to her Survivor Bracelet and said, "Look at the time yourselves, we didn't enter any accelerated space at all! All of this indeed happened in less than half a day."
"However, the time flow in the Underworld is ten times faster than ours, so according to the time ratio, only about four or five days have passed there since we left."
"So let's not deceive ourselves."
"Great Lord... he's truly amazing!"
Vanilla Nemo's tone was calm, but her hands were already clenched into fists, trembling continuously.
It was clear that her calm demeanor was just an act.
Like the other members of the Wildwind Squad, her heart was already surging with monstrous waves.
"Go! Let's quickly enter the Underworld!"
"That's right! We must go back quickly! This time, our squad is really going to take off!"
"Great Lord can actually kill the leader of the Order Dynasty! How high is his Combat Power?"
Everyone chattered away, immediately starting their spaceship and speeding towards their temporary base.
At this moment, they were incredibly excited.
They had just received Great Lord's Lucky Blessing a while ago, and now they heard such shocking news. This was simply a huge piece of good news for everyone!
Because they had finally latched onto a powerful backer!
And it was a very, very, very powerful backer!!!
"Hahaha! We're taking off! Woohoo~~~"
On the way back, everyone was beaming with joy, their happiness evident on their faces... Island Survival World.
Bohaus led thirty thousand members of the Order Beacon, who had all been dispatched, advancing at full speed towards Lin Bei's island.
The fifty Excellent Grade Warships traveled extremely fast at sea, far exceeding Lin Bei's shadow tank.
Therefore, before dawn, the Order Beacon fleet would be able to approach within one hundred kilometers of Lin Bei's island.
"Everyone, cheer up!"
"Once I, the leader, take down North冥's island, then... I guarantee that everyone's Combat Power will increase by at least 100 points or more!"
"Those who perform exceptionally will receive additional rewards! Even greater Combat Power increases!"
"So... everyone, don't slack off! Tomorrow morning, go all out and attack North冥's island!"
Bohaus opened the Order Beacon's internal chat channel and began to boost morale.
He was determined to win this battle!
As expected, after he announced the rewards, all the members of the Order Beacon who were dispatched for this mission showed incredibly excited expressions.
At least a 100-point increase in Combat Power for everyone!
Such a reward was enough to drive everyone into a frenzy!
One must know that the Combat Power of most of them was less than 100 points!
In other words, as long as they killed North冥 this time, everyone's strength could at least double!
"Long live the leader! We swear to follow the leader to the death!"
"Hahaha! My great saber is already thirsty for blood! I can't wait to personally butcher North冥! I want more rewards!"
"This is awesome! I'm so lucky to have been chosen to participate in this battle! 100 Combat Power points are within reach!"
"So excited! We've dispatched a full fifty Excellent Grade Warships! When they all attack North冥's island, he's definitely dead!"
...Within the Order Beacon's internal chat channel, everyone was extremely excited, discussing animatedly.
They were full of confidence for the future!
In their eyes, the minimum reward of 100 Combat Power points was already in their grasp!
Bohaus looked at the enthusiasm of the crowd in the chat channel, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
"This battle is a sure victory!"
"Even if all those warships are destroyed, with me, a leader with 1 million Combat Power, holding the line, that kid named North冥... will absolutely have no chance of turning the tables!"
"Before we set off, I already notified Lord Apachi to monitor Aleria, so she definitely won't be able to interfere!"
"Hehe, it's been so many years, and those scumbags from the Lucky Faction are still thinking of making a comeback? Hmph, impossible!"
Bohaus crossed his arms over his chest, the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he let out a disdainful cold snort from his throat...
"Apachi? What are you doing here?"
Deep within the black space, in a huge golden palace, a pink-haired girl in a dazzling long dress looked at the black-clad, masked man walking in through the door, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
"As an Inspector, of course I'm here to inspect the work."
The black-clad masked man smiled faintly, sat directly on the sofa in front of the pink-haired girl, crossed his legs, and said in a relaxed tone, "Aleria, I heard... your sister also entered the Survival World? Hehe, you're really reckless. If I remember correctly, your sister hasn't fully awakened yet, has she?"
"Entering the Survival World like this, I'm afraid she's in grave danger."
"However... as an Overseer, you can't play favorites!"
"Even if it's your sister, if I find out you secretly helped her, don't blame me for disregarding our relationship and reporting it directly!"
"Your Lucky Faction has very few active Clerics, so... I advise you, don't make mistakes! Hahahaha!"
Aleria's gaze darkened upon hearing this, and a sense of unease suddenly arose in her heart.
She stared intently at the silver mask on Apachi's face and questioned loudly, "Apachi, what exactly do you mean? Are you secretly playing some dirty tricks?"
Aleria's expression was unfriendly. She was very worried now; if Apachi used some forbidden means to deal with Lin Bei, even with Lin Bei's current strength, he would likely be in grave danger!
"Me playing dirty tricks? No, no, my dear Overseer, I don't have that kind of leisure."
Apachi saw Aleria's solemn expression and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, "However, I did receive a little rumor. I wonder if you're interested in hearing it?"
"Speak!"
Aleria's face was grim.
At this moment, her mood was very heavy.
What if the other party really spent a huge price to use forbidden means... Unless Lin Bei possessed Legendary Combat Power, he would still be in a dangerous situation!
"Don't be so anxious!"
Apachi chuckled, "Actually, it's not a big deal."
"It is said that someone from the Blood Demon Faction dispatched a person and controlled a Survivor through Bloodline Planting Art."
"At this moment, he has already set off towards the Island where your lovely sister is located."
"The Blood Demon Clan, they have a blood feud with your Lucky Faction."
"As far as I know, although that Blood Demon's strength has been greatly weakened due to the restrictions of the Island Survival World, he still possesses 1 million Combat Power!"
"If he unleashes his Bloodline Talent with all his might, he can even burst out with over 2 million Combat Power."
"Such terrifying strength, in a Low-Tier Survival World, can crush everything."
Apachi's tone was calm, with a hint of a smile, "I was also worried about your sister, so I rushed over to tell you this information."
"Although as an Overseer you cannot forcibly interfere with the rules of the Island Survival World, you can use this opportunity to pinpoint that rogue Blood Demon, and then use this chance to make the Blood Demon Faction bleed heavily."
"So, I'm on your side this time."
"I'm not asking for your thanks, but at least some basic politeness, right?"
Apachi leaned back on the sofa with a nonchalant expression, his gaze falling on Aleria's face through the mask.
Aleria's face flashed with surprise upon hearing this.
She couldn't help but think to herself, "Is... is that all?!"
Originally, seeing Apachi appear before her so fearlessly, even striking a victorious pose, she thought he had played his trump card.
But in the end... his attitude was arrogant, yet the card he played was just a lone three of clubs?
Isn't this laughable?
One million Combat Power?
Is that strong?
Aleria complained inwardly.
She remembered that when she spoke to Lin Bei not long ago, his Combat Power had already exceeded a hundred million.
That kid was already Epic Level!
One million Combat Power... barely touched the threshold of Transcendent Four-Star.
Moreover, the opponent was a Blood Demon, and of that one million Combat Power, an estimated 990,000 points were Qi and Blood Power!
With this kind of strength, even a slightly more powerful Transcendent Three-Star could probably take down the opponent.
What's more, how about the current Lin Bei?
Aleria felt like laughing.
But remembering Apachi was in front of her, she had to forcibly suppress the smile on her face.
As a result, her face turned pale then red, looking very unpleasant.
"Haha, Aleria, relax a bit."
"I know your sister's situation is very dangerous right now, but... it's not without room for maneuver."
Apachi said with a smile, "I can turn a blind eye to your actions, but as a condition... you need to pay one, no, two Primal Forces as a price."
"This is a transaction between you and me, it doesn't involve faction confrontation, rest assured, after it's done, this matter will absolutely not be leaked."
Aleria's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
However, Apachi seemed not to notice, continuing to speak to himself, "Aleria, I'm doing this for your own good. Your sister is very cute."
"Moreover, her talent and potential are also good."
"If she can grow up healthy, her future prospects won't be worse than yours."
"Exchanging two Primal Forces for a future Legendary Level powerhouse, if it were me... I would definitely agree to this condition."
"And, after it's done, you can also hold a handle over the Blood Demon Faction and squeeze some benefits out of them."
"So... in the end, you might not gain nothing."
Apachi said confidently, "There are still about three or four hours before that Blood Demon makes his move. Take your time to consider, I... am not in a hurry, hahahaha."
With that, Apachi laughed heartily, stood up, and walked out of the great hall.
In his opinion, the other party had no other choice!
The best option was to obediently hand over two Primal Forces according to the conditions he offered!
As for her cute sister?
In his eyes, she was just a tool to extort Aleria in the long term.
If this matter succeeded, he would have plenty of opportunities to extract more benefits from these two sisters in the future!
For Apachi.
No matter what choice the other party made, he would win!
It was merely the difference between winning once or winning countless times.
"I, Apachi, am brilliant and mighty, with unparalleled wisdom, truly the undisputed... intellectual giant among all Clerics!"
At this moment, Apachi was immensely smug.
On the other side, Aleria watched Apachi's retreating back, her delicate facial muscles twitching incessantly, feeling as if she was about to suffer internal injuries from holding back.
In her mind, a word she had recently obtained from the Blue Star Database suddenly surfaced, seemingly Perfect for describing Apachi at this moment.
"That word, it seems to be... Puxinnan?"
"It feels like this word was tailor-made for Apachi."
"Simply... invincible."
...Underworld, Dark Forest.
Two hours passed in a flash.
Lin Bei stood alone, looking at the hundreds of Death Avatars re-gathered in front of him, his mouth twitching fiercely.
He originally thought that the shadow monsters in the Dark Forest could be refreshed endlessly.
However, it wasn't until today that he learned a truth.
That is, in the Dark Forest, the refresh rate of shadow monsters... was actually limited!
Now, the Dark Forest area was dead silent, with no trace of any shadow monsters left.
In just two short hours, the Dark Forest, covering an area of several hundred kilometers, was so simply and brutally cleared by the hundreds of Death Avatars he summoned!
"According to the prompt, if monsters are to refresh here again, it will have to wait until tomorrow."
"Alas, I miscalculated."
"I didn't expect this Dark Forest... to be so ineffective!"
"Only two hours, and there are no more monsters!"
"Doesn't this delay things?"
