  Chapter 448 The Secret of the Man in Black

  36 hours after the appearance of the black hole.

  In the picture of the black hole above City V, the world on the opposite side finally changed from long day to night.

   Jiuyou and Tianzi's previous judgment on the number of monsters affected by day and night was accurate.

   It's okay when it's dark on both sides, as long as the lights in the city are turned off as much as possible, the impact on the other world is minimal.

   What I am most afraid of is the dark night on the opposite side. The earth is in daytime. During this period, from the perspective of the giant world on the opposite side, the black hole on the ground is as conspicuous as a searchlight in the dark night, and can be seen from a long distance.

   At this time, City V belongs to this situation.

  Even if human hands have been arranged to continuously create dark clouds under the black hole, they cannot completely cover the natural strong light during the day.

  So from this morning, when the opposite world entered night, the frequency of monsters falling from the black hole in City V began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  Silkworm moths, fish and insects, flies and animals, all kinds of light-loving creatures are constantly falling from the black hole.

  After these monsters landed, very few of them would fight on the spot out of territorial awareness, saving the effort of humans, but more creatures would instinctively start fleeing to the surroundings because they suddenly fell into an unfamiliar environment.

   Right below the black hole, two teams of masters with a size of more than 1,000 people have been arranged, and the lowest-level personnel are all above level 18. It can be said that all the masters that can be recruited from several nearby provinces and cities have been gathered here.

  The goal of these two teams is very simple, and they are responsible for pinning down and sniping monsters with three stars and above that occasionally appear. As for creatures below two stars, they will simply let them go, there is no way, there is a shortage of masters.

  The two-star creatures that move around are handed over to the second line of defense at the rear.

  The second line of defense, that is, a joint encirclement network formed by the three surrounding cities bordering V City, is guarded by a lower level but a large number of players and troops.

   City K is one of the three surrounding cities of City V.

  At this moment, in the southern suburbs of K City, it has been enveloped by the roar of magic and the roar of monsters.

  A large number of humans gathered behind the fortifications. Feather arrows and acid continued to pass by, splashing bright red sparks from time to time. All kinds of magic flew in the sky, bursting out pieces of dazzling flames.

  Huge magical energy gathered nearby to form a colorful tornado, covering the giant beast in front of it, blocking the monster's sight.

  At the same moment, a large number of arcane magic missiles hit the sky together, flying along the spiral trajectory, and blooming beautiful magic flames around the monster.

The battles all over the world the day before have fully proved that in the face of these giant creatures, the effect of physical guns cannot keep up with magic, because there is no magic power in the giant world, and the magic resistance of these monsters is all zero, but they have almost 100% "abnormality" status resistance'.

   That is to say, those limited control magics are almost ineffective against giant beasts, but the damage of magic can be 100% exerted on them.

Especially after many people climbed the tower to obtain the power of gods, to deal with those low-level creatures with weak **** defenses, at least using magic can trigger the power of gods, break through their hard skin, and each blow can guarantee a little damage, but firearms and firearms These things belong to foreign objects and cannot trigger the power of God. For this factor alone, magic is much more practical than physical firepower (see Chapter 330 for details on the trigger rules of the power of God).

To say that the only thing in human technology that can work against these beasts is probably several heavy fire weapons including mushroom bombs. However, there is still a problem of level suppression. These physical weapons are all at level 25. The monsters above all have at least four levels of suppression, which directly reduces their damage to an unbearable level.

It is said that when the monsters in America were the most violent and dense yesterday, the military couldn't bear the pressure, gathered the monsters in an open area, and used nuclear weapons once, hoping to clear them all at once, but the result was not satisfactory .

One or two-star monsters suffered heavy casualties from the explosion, but most of the monsters above three stars did not lose half of their lives. The risk of nuclear radiation is no less harmful than that of monsters. It can be said that it can hurt one thousand enemies and ten thousand.

   "Where are the dispatched personnel? Why haven't they come yet?" Zhang Yang looked at the approaching battle line, and couldn't help asking Liu Chen who was on the side.

  As the director of K city's different branch, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief in charge of K city's perimeter defense.

  Looking at the battlefield ahead that was almost covered in magic smoke, Zhang Yang looked dignified.

   You must know that melee personnel are almost useless against such giant creatures, not to mention whether melee means can cause damage. If you don't keep a distance, these giant creatures can crush a large area to death just by turning around casually.

  At present, 12,000 mage shooters with long-range strike capabilities have been intermittently deployed on this line of defense in the southern suburbs.

  However, compared to the number of monsters, this manpower is really not enough, especially when the opposite world is dark, the speed of monsters increases sharply, and the defensive pressure doubles instantly, causing the entire front to become precarious.

   "Still scheduling..." Liu Chen smiled wryly.

In fact, a day ago, the country issued a semi-mandatory call-up order to the people, summoning all players with long-range attack capabilities, and publicized the benefits of participating in the war, such as killing monsters to gain real experience, and having the opportunity to obtain exotic animal materials, Divinity crystallization and so on.

   Even so, there are still very few responders. First, because this is not the Astral World, there is no chance of resurrection. Not many people are willing to risk their lives to fight against the alien beast for that little reward;

The second is that because of the widespread existence of space backpacks, most people do not have enough sense of crisis. They think that even if monsters come, they can keep their little home safe and sound by hiding in the backpacks. Now, how many people are willing to take the initiative to come to the front line to fight desperately?

   It is under this trend of thought that there is a shortage of manpower everywhere.

   "Where's Mu You? No news yet?" Zhang Yang asked again.

   "No, it's been a day and a half, and I haven't been able to contact anyone..." Liu Chen sighed.

   "What happened?" Zhang Yang couldn't help frowning.

  He knows that there are indeed many people in the city who are clearly capable of fighting, but because of fear of suffering and death, they take the initiative to hide and wait for the disaster to pass.

He can't be harsh on such a person, it's just human nature, but he believes that this will definitely not be the case for Mu You, which can only show that Mu You is probably entangled in some things now and cannot get out. Even more seriously, it may have been...

   "I hope I think too much..." Zhang Yang sighed, shook his head, and shook off these thoughts.

   "Old Zhang!"

   While thinking, Liu Chen next to him suddenly exclaimed.

   Zhang Yang hurriedly turned his head to look.

   At this time, in the smoke and dust in front of them, three huge figures broke through the smoke and dust together, aiming at their defense line.

   "A150 Alien Beast, Iris Finch, Two Stars!"

   "Exotic beast A151, six-eyed lizard, two stars!"

   "A152 Alien Beast, Sludge Heaper, Two Stars!"

   Liu Chen quickly read the information displayed on the screen of the instrument in his hand.

After a day and a half of preparation, a complete real-time monitoring system has been established at the entrance of the nine black holes. The moment any monster falls, the system will capture the image immediately, establish a number, and find the corresponding image in the database. Biological text information, including biological attributes, weaknesses, recommended countermeasures, etc., is fed back to the frontline combatants as quickly as possible.

   It is also thanks to this complete detection system that the pressure on everyone's defense is greatly reduced.

   Just like that, the information of the three new creatures that appeared in the black hole of City V was transmitted to the receiver in Liu Chen's hand in less than ten seconds.

  However, the information in it still caught everyone by surprise.

   "Damn, two-star ones, three at once? Why are they all coming at us?" Zhang Yang's eyes twitched wildly.

  Even if there were two-stars coming over, they came one by one, so even if there were fewer people, they could still hold on.

   As a result, three of them came running at once, and they seemed to form a team, and they went straight to kill them. How do they deal with this?

   "It should be because there are so many people..." Liu Chen was also sweating on his forehead.

City K is also one of the high-risk areas because it is adjacent to a black hole. After the global catastrophe, a large number of residents of City K began to flee. However, due to the lack of time, only about half of them have been evacuated. There are still a large number of ordinary people in the city. For these man-eating monsters, the denser the flow of people, the more abundant the food.

   "Quick, retreat the line of defense!" Seeing the beast approaching quickly, Zhang Yang yelled hastily.

   "Really want to withdraw?" Liu Chen hesitated. If he retreated, the defense line would expand, and more and more manpower would be needed.

   "No way, we can't cope with this situation. If we don't withdraw now, we will lose manpower in vain. Let's retreat and wait for support..." Zhang Yang made a decisive decision, took out the walkie-talkie and prepared to give an order.

   But at this moment, no one noticed that two figures, one big and one small, landed on the roof of an abandoned building in front of them.

  The big one is a female forest elf, and the small one is a little girl wearing a cat face mask.

  After the two landed on the ground, the little girl immediately took out a square box, held it in her arms, and lifted the lid: "Mengmeng, beat it!"

"Roar!"

A huge black phantom burst out of the box in an instant, landed on the ground surrounded by black air, then roared, and rushed towards the three monsters quickly, swung its claws, and scratched the soft mud closest to it Blame it.

   Slapped it with one paw, and the body of the slime immediately swayed from side to side like jelly, shaking non-stop.

The slime monster was dizzy from this slap, and when it came back to its senses, it was furious immediately. Its whole body spread like a bat's wings, and it rushed towards the shadow ghost, as if it wanted to wrap it in, but it was a pity that it was caught by the shadow ghost. The ghost tactfully jumped back and swiped its claws again and again. The slime's body surface was quickly torn and damaged. Although the slime was able to reassemble quickly, the stinky mud and poisonous gas in its body were still gushing out. out.

   "Shadow, shadow ghost!"

   Zhang Yang watched the newly appeared monster's pupils shrink sharply, and almost had a cardiac arrest.

  Because City K was once attacked by a shadow ghost, he, the person in charge of City K, is particularly sensitive to shadow ghosts.

  Especially the Shadow Ghost, who came out early and late, and appeared at such an extremely critical moment, which immediately made Zhang Yang feel as if his eyes were darkened.

   "But it seems that they are here to help us?" On the other hand, Liu Chen next to him didn't have any psychological shadows about the shadow ghost, and immediately sorted out the situation.

Reminded by Liu Chen, Zhang Yang also reacted, and hurriedly glanced in the direction where the shadow ghost appeared, and soon found two figures on the top of the tall building at this time, especially the little girl who was waving her fists and jumping up and down. Jumping, as if cheering up the shadow ghost.

   "Did the shadow ghost be summoned by that child?" Zhang Yang was a little incredulous.

   But it's not over yet.

   When Zhang Yang looked up, he suddenly found a huge flying creature resembling a dragonfly swooping down at high speed, approaching the ground in the blink of an eye.

   Fortunately, the dragonfly did not attack the two people in the sky after rushing, but passed by them, and rushed straight to the six-eyed lizard below, flashing a praying knife in its hand, and fought with the lizard.

   "A026 Alien Beast, Two Stars, Pyrachthus?" Liu Chen immediately called up the information of this newly appeared Alien Beast, but the information displayed in the result surprised him extremely.

   "026, shouldn't this be the strange beast from yesterday? Why hasn't it been dealt with yet?"

   "Besides, they took the initiative to fight with other monsters..." Zhang Yang looked at this scene, and then at the forest elf in the sky, he had vaguely realized something, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

   It looks like a helper has arrived...

   "Hurry up, fire to help attack, be careful not to accidentally injure Shadow Ghost and Pyrach!" Zhang Yang hurriedly changed his order.

  The people on the defense line who were ready to retreat saw that the situation had stabilized, and hurried back to their respective positions to resume casting spells.

   "Chirp!"

For a while, the scene was bombarded again, and the silt monster and the six-eyed lizard were suppressed by intensive firepower, but the iris finch, which had the ability to fly, took off immediately, avoiding the bombardment of firepower, and at the same time circled in mid-air for a circle, heading straight for the The two figures on the top of the tall building swooped down.

   "Be careful!" Zhang Yang and the others instinctively reminded them.

   As a result, the two people above did not avoid them. Facing the swooping giant sparrow, the forest elf suddenly took out a scepter and held it high.

   "O lost bird, return, submit to the divine light!"

  Accompanied by the elf's chanting, the tip of the scepter suddenly released a circle of soft light.

  The iris sparrow, which was rushing towards with a murderous look, suddenly hovered in the sky after being illuminated by the light, and then landed on the roof of the building. Instead of attacking, it quietly crawled beside the elf.

   "Wow—"

There was a sudden exclamation from below, and then everyone watched the female elf reach out and stroke the feathers of a bird that was twice as big as her body. He closed his eyes, as if enjoying himself.

   Countless people watching this scene almost dropped their jaws in shock: This is a two-star beast, and it was tamed instantly by the girl raising her hand like this? Is this a miracle?

   After the light lasted for about ten minutes, the elf above put away the scepter.

At this time, the iris next to her opened her eyes, and looked at the direction where the scepter disappeared with some nostalgia, but instead of attacking the elf to **** the scepter, she lowered her head towards her, rubbed against her body, and made a gesture Acts of submission and fawning.

   Now everyone is completely convinced that the irises have really been tamed!

   Afterwards, everyone saw the elf and the iris communicating for a few seconds, and then pointed down, the iris suddenly uttered a cry, spread its wings and flew up, rushing to the battle below, helping the shadow ghost and the piranha to attack the other two creatures.

  With the help of the three behemoths, coupled with the suppressed firepower of the crowd, the two two-star creatures fell faster than ever. After just over ten minutes, the slime monster and the lizard died one after another.

   Soon, special loot collection troops entered the battlefield to collect the corpses and drops of the two giant beasts.

  This is also one of the decisions jointly declared by the countries: In this disaster, all spoils of war must be registered and collected uniformly, and rewards will be made according to the contribution of each person in the disaster to ensure fairness.

   "Chirp!"

  After the battle was over, both Iris and Pyrach flew back to the female elf immediately, hovering behind her like two bodyguards.

   "Mengmeng!" At this time, the little girl also called out, and opened the box in her hand again.

  The shadow ghost below suddenly jumped up, plunged into the box, and disappeared.

   "May I ask who you are?" Seeing that the two of them were about to leave after packing their things, Zhang Yang asked hurriedly.

   "The Lord of Eternal Night, Qingya Shuxiang, is responsible for replacing the ghost captain and guarding the safety around the black hole in V City."

  The elf announced his name, and there was another exclamation from below.

   It's actually the Lord of Eternal Night!

Among the eleven city lords, most of them are well-known figures in the world, but there are also a few who are relatively less famous, such as the city lord of Yongye, who can be said to be the one with the weakest sense of presence among the city lords. People can't even remember her ID.

   Until now, after witnessing the miracles performed by the City Lord of Eternal Night, everyone realized that even the weakest City Lord is far beyond their imagination!

   Besides, the City Lord of Eternal Night is so powerful, let alone the other City Lords!

  Thinking that there are still so many powerful top players in the human race, the frustration and despair of the people below were instantly swept away, and they became full of confidence!

  After the female elf above finished speaking, she left the scene with the little girl and disappeared soon.

   "Old Zhang?"

  Liu Chen noticed that Zhang Yang was still staring blankly at the rooftop, which was already empty.

   "Strange..." Zhang Yang came back to his senses, glanced at Liu Chen, but subconsciously frowned.

   "What's wrong?" Liu Chen asked.

   "I don't know why, I always feel that those two people just now seem to have met somewhere..." Zhang Yang rubbed his chin in thought, but couldn't remember more details for a while.

the other side.

   After the elf and the girl left the scene, they soon stopped in a place where no one was there.

  Xiaoya blushed and said into the walkie-talkie: "Sister Xue, do I really have to shout that line? I feel so ashamed..."

   "What a shame, it's so cool!" The little girl next to her took off her mask and looked at Xiaoya in confusion.

   "Human beings urgently need hope and heroes, and your abilities and effects are very suitable for this." Lin Xue's voice came from the intercom.

   "But..." Xiaoya was still blushing. The thought of chanting that line in public next time made her wish to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

   "The black hole in City V is nominally under the jurisdiction of Captain Ghost. Originally, Mu You should also play this inspiring role, but now that he's not here, we can only rely on us to do it for you." Lin Xue's voice.

   "Okay, I...do my best..." Speaking of Muyou, Xiaoya finally compromised and brainwashed herself: this is also one of her jobs as an employee.

   "What's the result of the test? Can only 2-star creatures be domesticated at most?" Lin Xue's voice continued to come from the communicator.

   "Yes, I can't fully domesticate creatures above three stars. At most, I can only prevent them from attacking me later, but once the light stops, they will leave immediately." Xiaoya nodded.

   "Besides, I can feel that there can only be at most two two-star domesticated beasts at present, otherwise they will fight each other to the death for favor, until there are only two left." Xiaoya said.

   "It seems that the upper limit of domestication is not high enough..."

In the study room of the pet shop, Lin Xue typed a message on the computer in front of her, and then pondered: "According to the persuasion effect of your evolution scepter on the creatures of the astral world, after your own star level is improved in the future, maybe The upper limit of the evolution scepter can be exerted, thereby increasing the number of domestication and star rating."

   "Compared to these, where is the next reinforcement location?" The voice of the little girl came from the communicator.

   "The next location is in City S, I will send you the location..."

  Lin Xue quickly intercepted the distress message received at hand and sent it to the two of them.

  After she disclosed the information about the God-devouring Beast yesterday, the major countries in the world were finally forcibly bonded together under strong external pressure.

At noon that day, Lin Xue was pulled into a forum group called "Global Self-Help Alliance", which included the presidents of 54 first-class organizations around the world, as well as representatives from various countries, etc., and conducted a short but efficient Meeting.

  The meeting finally decided that nine local representatives with sufficient prestige should be selected from around the world to be the general leaders of the nine black hole defense affairs.

  Among them, Captain Ghost is identified as the number A black hole, which is the person in charge of the black hole in V City. Of course, because Mu You is not around now, the actual execution power is in the hands of the Ice Emperor's Bluebeard and Lin Xue.

  The remaining black holes in the southern sea area in China are managed by Wuying and Shenfeng.

  The black holes in other regions are also guarded by the corresponding sky city masters in their respective regions. When it comes to things like fame and appeal, no one is more suitable than the sky city masters.

   As for the only two black holes located in the ocean, after some intense discussions, one of them finally decided that Jiuyou would be the person in charge.

   This is no wonder. After all, the overall strength of the Celestial Dynasty is really outstanding in the world. There are many domestic masters, and even Sky City directly accounts for half of them. At this time, it should take more responsibility.

   Jiuyou didn't have much objection to this. After all, this kind of thing is both a challenge and an opportunity. After some discussion, he took over the task on behalf of the Dragon Group.

   What really caused controversy was the last black hole. Since it is located deep in the ocean, the environment is the most dangerous and the location is the worst. After some debate, no one dared to take it randomly. Everyone deliberately shirked it, which led to a deadlock in the meeting.

  In the end, it was the Son of Heaven who took the initiative to stand up and take over the task on behalf of the divine right of the king.

  Of course, as compensation, all countries must arrange enough manpower to go to the black holes in the two oceans, and accept the dispatch orders of Jiuyou and Tianzi during the disaster.

   "In this way, the situation is almost stable..."

  Lin Xue looked at the "global real-time monster number map" displayed on the computer in front of him. Near the nine black holes, the red blocks that were originally dense have gradually become sparse, which means that the number of monsters in the world is gradually decreasing from the peak.

   "However, it's not enough..."

  Lin Xue shook her head, the so-called stability is only relative to the current situation.

  The premise of all this is that it cannot be discovered by any giants, otherwise, the delicate balance that has been so hard to maintain now will definitely be broken in an instant!

   Fortunately, so far, there are no signs of giants near the nine black holes.

  However, it is extremely difficult to maintain this situation for more than five days.

It has been analyzed by a dedicated modeling data engineer before, and the model is established based on the density and activity trajectories of giants in the giant world detected so far. It is deduced that within a week, the probability that no giants will pass by the nine black hole regions is only 9.22%. !

   That is to say, it is almost inevitable that they will be discovered by giants in the next few days!

  So, instead of praying for the 10% small probability event, it is better to plan for a rainy day, and think about how they should deal with it if there is a giant landing.

   "flocculent organisms...parasitic...divinity...humanoid intelligent creature...infection time...transmission mode..."

  Looking at the messy information on the paper in front of her, Lin Xue rubbed her temples with a headache.

   Ordinarily speaking, this kind of parasitic organism is like an infectious disease. Unless it is an almost unsolvable transmission route like air infection, otherwise, there should always be a channel that can be cut off during the infection process.

  Unfortunately, she now knows too little about this creature, and the few words left by Tian Fuya's ancestors are not enough to draw a more refined conclusion...

   "The flocculent creature..." At this moment, Lin Xue suddenly heard Vivienne muttering next to her.

   Turning the angle of view, Vivienne was curled up, resting at the table, but the crow's eyes were staring at what she wrote on the paper, showing a pensive look.

  Lin Xue's heart moved: "Teacher, have you heard of the God-eating Beast?"

Vivian shook her head when she heard the words: "When I was born, the minor calamity has long ended, and it is also a topic that is strictly forbidden to be brought up in the Wizarding Association. I know very little about it, and I have never heard of the name Devouring Beast." I did. But..."

"but?"

  Vivian glanced at her: "You should know that when I was young, I was also a member of the Wizarding Association. The three elders of the Wizarding Association, black, white and gray, were all my mentors in name at that time."

   "Hmm." Lin Xue nodded, she had heard about this from Mu You, and Vivienne mentioned this at this time, obviously the next thing was related to the Wizards Association.

"In my memory, the man in black is a gloomy and grumpy guy who always walks alone, and for a long time, always closes the door to study something, for which he often talks with A quarrel broke out between the other two elders."

"I had no interest in their affairs at first, but until one day, when I was young, I strayed into the study of the man in black, and on his desk, I saw a blurry picture, which showed, It's a hand-painted cotton wool creature..."

   "However, before I could see clearly at that time, the man in black came back, drove me out in a panic, cursed me, and warned me that I would never approach his place casually again..."

  After Lin Xue heard this, her eyes widened subconsciously: "What do you mean? The man in black may have studied the God-devouring Beast for a long time?"

"Because I have never seen that kind of creature, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and the man in black seemed to have changed his temper after that, and never conducted research in private, so I gradually forgot about it... Until now, Your description reminds me of that picture..."

  Vivian nodded: "If the man in black was studying the beast, then many contradictions between the elders seem to be explainable!"
