"Players of the First Survival Base, please be aware, the Monster Siege has arrived!"
"Current first wave of monster frenzy, monster count: 10,000, no special monsters!"
The monsters spawned two thousand meters away, and as soon as they appeared, they dispersed and charged forward.
The surging beast tide was awe-inspiring, chilling hearts with fear.
The deafening roars of the beasts converged, rolling in like a massive wave, incredibly powerful.
Everyone inside the barrier instantly trembled!
They focused their gaze and gasped.
"It's over! We're really dead this time!"
"Iron-Armored Rhinos, Violent Mountain Monkeys, Sword-Horned Antelopes… Oh my god, they're all Level 10 monsters!"
"What's the point of playing this? Let's run!"
…Players fell into pessimism, and some immediately turned to flee.
A base has two hundred thousand people. Excluding those who were too cowardly to come, there were about one hundred thousand people gathered at the eastern edge at this moment.
One hundred thousand people fighting ten thousand monsters, logically speaking, shouldn't be a problem.
But that wasn't the case. Players relying on numbers to fight one monster or ten monsters simultaneously is a different concept from fighting ten thousand monsters simultaneously!
A chaotic battlefield would introduce many unstable factors, and the actual combat difficulty would skyrocket.
What's more, most people now were only Level 1 or 2, with very few above Level 3. How could they fight Level 10 monsters?
In despair, those still hesitating whether to run couldn't help but look outside the barrier.
There, a white figure with a longbow in hand was gently setting down a teacup.
Peerless Dust, didn't run?
Isn't he afraid at all?
This is ten thousand monsters. No matter how strong he is, if he's overwhelmed by monsters, he probably won't survive, right?
"Boss, Peerless Dust is dead for sure!"
"Because of his stubbornness, the First Survival Base might not be safe…"
In a hidden corner, a sneaky assassin player saw the situation and reported it to someone via a friend message.
The beast tide had already rushed to within a few hundred meters!
Lin Chen finally looked up, gazing at the surging beast horde ahead.
The distance was sufficient!
Although his skill attack range was good, if the distance was too far, it would demand a high amount of mental energy and easily miss.
Right now, it was perfect!
Lin Chen didn't even bother to stand up. He sat in his chair, holding the bow with his left hand, raising it to a suitable angle.
With his right hand, he lightly drew the bowstring. This time, what condensed was no longer an arrow as clear as water.
Streams of light gathered, like starlight, and an arrow filled with the power of stars had formed.
"What is he going to do?"
Seeing this scene, the players who hadn't fled yet held their breath.
Then, the arrow pierced the air!
Boom!
The instant the arrow was released, the starlight rapidly intensified, suddenly exploding into countless star-like arrows that swept across the void, covering the sky and obscuring the sun.
SSS-rank Skill: Dreamy Star Song!
With one arrow, stars fell across the sky. The starry sky seemed to descend upon the world at this moment, dreamlike and illusory!
Boom boom boom!
-644,000 (Critical Hit)
-11,057 (Wrath of Life damage, cannot critically hit)
...Because he replicated the "Blood Attack" talent, Lin Chen's attack power greatly increased. Combined with critical hits and a 50% critical damage bonus, the damage was explosive.
Instantly, over ten thousand arrows rained down from the sky, causing widespread damage, with dense numbers appearing!
The players watched in shock at the plains outside the base, which looked as if they were being carpet-bombed by bombers.
Amidst the roar, blood splattered with sand and rocks, and the monsters wailed, falling one after another, an extremely spectacular sight!
"Holy crap!"
"Unbelievable!"
"Annihilating a beast tide with one arrow, you're simply ridiculous!"
"Where did he get such a terrifying skill? This isn't scientific!"
The players were incoherent.
They had originally thought Peerless Dust would have to fight a bitter battle to withstand the first wave of attack, but the reality was completely opposite!
Their feelings at this moment were too complex to describe in words.
On one hand, everyone was pleasantly surprised by Peerless Dust's strength, which would undoubtedly help the base overcome its difficulties.
On the other hand, Peerless Dust's power gave them a sense of helplessness, a feeling that no matter how hard they tried, they could never catch up to him.
The most awkward were those who had run away.
Some had just turned around when they heard shouts of surprise, so they kept their running posture and looked back, instantly freezing and becoming motionless, which was quite comical.
At the same time, countless notifications rang in Lin Chen's ears!
"You killed a Level 10 Violent Mountain Monkey, Experience +500, Survival Points +50."
"You killed a Level 10 Iron-Armored Rhino…"
"Congratulations on leveling up!"
..."Congratulations on leveling up!"
A Dreamy Star Song bombardment swept through, annihilating countless monsters.
Whoosh!
Lin Chen was continuously enveloped by leveling-up light, reaching Level 15 in one go.
"This is much more convenient than leveling up in the wilderness."
Ignoring the players' exclamations, Lin Chen comfortably enjoyed everything.
There were still some monsters in the field that had narrowly escaped, lucky enough not to be hit by the arrows.
Lin Chen immediately fired arrows, quickly and accurately, clearing them all in a few seconds.
It took less than a minute in total!
The only pity was that monsters appearing in siege events did not drop any loot.
"Regional Announcement: The second wave of the beast tide will refresh in two minutes!"
The announcement meant that everyone had successfully passed the first wave of attack.
According to the rules, there were still two more waves of beast tides!
"So strong! Lord Peerless Dust is awesome!"
"No wonder he dared to initiate the monster siege; he had a plan all along."
"Oh no, we were complaining earlier, won't Lord get angry?"
Having passed the first wave, the players were both excited and uneasy.
Lin Chen, however, paid no attention to their reactions.
Just like when he was previously controversial, he didn't care about anyone's gaze, whether it was doubt or praise, it didn't matter—he lived only for himself.
Currently, he poured tea again, leisurely sipping it, quietly waiting—
The battle just now didn't even count as a warm-up.
"No, Peerless Dust is really super handsome! What should I do? I want to date him!"
"With your looks, who would be interested in you? I'd be more suitable!"
Male players envied Lin Chen's strength, while some female players couldn't help but feel their hearts flutter.
But despite the commotion, no one dared to go up and talk to him.
Even through a defensive barrier, players could still feel the sense of detachment emanating from that back figure, clearly meaning 'do not approach strangers'.
And in a hidden corner, a certain spy who had originally thought the survival base would be breached and was preparing to flee, stared wide-eyed at everything outside, in disbelief.
He seemed to still be stuck in the spectacular scene of ten thousand arrows firing simultaneously, annihilating the beast tide, too shocked to speak.
This is the strength of the top expert?
"You've got to be kidding, am I playing the same game as him…?"
This person was at a loss for more than ten seconds before recovering, opening his friend list, and bitterly smiling at the person on the other end of the communication:
"Boss, about what I'm going to tell you, please don't be scared…"
