Chapter 653: Gravity Beasts Assault the Buildings, Reactions from All Sides
Rumble!!!
Xu Lang’s mind was filled with images of himself holding multiple high-tier Sequences without even trying, basking in the fantasy, when a sudden earth-shaking tremor jolted him awake.
At once, he threw back the bed curtain and looked at the surveillance monitor.
In the corridor, dozens of ton-class behemoths had appeared without anyone noticing.
Xu Lang’s Black Crown title had already been removed, but since there were still people in Demon King Castle inside Mad King Building, all the Gravity Beasts that targeted the Mad King Building headed straight for Dorm 400!
[Gravity Beast]
[Type: Monster]
[Level: 25]
[Race Tier: Common]
[Skills: Super-Heavy Creature, Gravity Force, Gravity Core, Energy Breath]
[Description: Terrifying creatures capable of surviving and hunting under extreme gravity]
Gravity Beasts appeared on Mad King Building’s side, and at the same time, Gravity Beasts also showed up on the floors of the other three buildings.
……
“Level twenty-five big monsters, how are we supposed to fight these?!”
At Amusement Park Building, a player who saw the monsters’ level had his smile freeze and couldn’t force a grin anymore.
Around him were several gore-smeared corpses.
They had been crushed into paste by the pressure—tenants turned into meat slurry.
Two-thirds of Amusement Park Building’s occupants had already been eliminated by gravity, and only a few survivors remained.
Those survivors now faced a monster assault on their building, and these were over-standard monsters!
Amusement Park Building’s overall facility level was only about level seventeen!
Although players had been acquiring more high-rarity supplies so level weighting wasn’t as dominant as in the early days, the gap was still enormous.
He opened the chat room to see what the big-name players were doing, and saw these three messages.
[10 Candy Queen: All players with total facility levels below 20 commit suicide, preserve strength, Gravity Beasts will not attack empty dorms!]
[110 Amusement: All players with total facility levels below 20 commit suicide, preserve strength, Gravity Beasts will not attack empty dorms!]
[220 Joker: All players with total facility levels below 20 commit suicide, preserve strength, Gravity Beasts will not attack empty dorms!]
“Heh heh heh heh, this round, we’re gonna be dead last again!” the Amusement Park player laughed bitterly and tore off a white chest armor.
In the next instant, his body was crushed into pulp!
Amusement Park Building, massive casualties!
……
Heaven’s Judgment Building.
“Damn, why are they level twenty-five monsters?!”
“Where’s the recon team, hurry, scout to see how many there are!”
“Boss, heal me, I think my spleen ruptured!”
Heaven’s Judgment players seeing Gravity Beasts were breaking down mentally.
Thirty-times gravity sustained for seven hours was already an almost impossible task, and now monsters were attacking the buildings!
Who could survive this round?
If too many players get deleted, the monsters will concentrate their attacks on a single place, and then no dormitory could withstand so many monsters!
That’s also one reason solo “supreme” dormitories rarely appear.
No matter how strong high-level players are, they still need bottom-tier players as sacrificial cushions, or they’ll be besieged by monsters.
If bottom-tier players refuse to go out and aren’t too weak, they actually aren’t that afraid of so-called high-level players, though they give up resources from going out.
“Go all out. Our dorm won’t last, go out and bait some Gravity Beasts!”
Gradually, some Heaven’s Judgment players began to leave their rooms to trade blows with the Gravity Beasts.
Heaven’s Judgment Building, top floor.
There were only three dorms here, occupying one third of the top floor.
One dorm’s door stood wide open, and Solaris stepped out, gazing at the other three buildings.
“This round, everyone chose poorly; shaky foundations make the high floors wobble,” Solaris said, watching Heaven’s Judgment players fall one by one, his eyes gleaming with calculated light. “What we need to do now is be the last ones eliminated!”
According to the intelligence unit’s estimates, the chance that all four buildings would survive to the seventh stage was almost nil.
Despite appearing calm, thirty-times gravity was a significant burden even for him; bottom-tier players were in an even worse spot.
Once the bottom-tier players died, the high-level players wouldn’t fare well either.
Right now it was basically lining up to die.
The weak players die first!
Weak dormitories faced the same fate!
……
The corridor of Evil King Building held the most players.
Evil Dragon stood at his dorm entrance, glancing at the covetous Evil King Building players around him, a savage grin curling his lips.
“This round, protect second place and fight for first!” He turned his gaze toward Mad King Building, seemingly certain about who would be champion and runner-up.
“Evil Dragon, you seem very confident in Mad King Building.” A tall, lean man with a broadsword jumped down from the upper floor and stood on the corridor guardrail, staring at Evil Dragon with a smile.
“I don’t trust Mad King Building, I trust that bastard!” Evil Dragon snorted.
At that moment, a burly, tattooed man came up from the stairwell and chuckled:
“Heh heh heh, I’m betting on them too!”
“Mad King Building’s players are all lunatics, and the leader of that bunch won’t be as calm as he looks. Once you rip off the disguise, what will he be like inside? Could he be the maddest of them all?”
“Truly something to look forward to!”
These three bore enormous pressure yet showed no abnormality, treating it almost like a game and even exchanging idle chatter.
Evil King Building’s players possessed dual attributes far exceeding the other three buildings, and many among them could withstand thirty-times gravity.
So Gravity Beasts became a real problem.
These farsighted strong players weren’t leaving their rooms just to chat—they intended to proactively eliminate the Gravity Beasts.
That was the tacit understanding among high-level players.
