Southeast Plain

The Blood Moon, plus the guild's double experience buff, allowed Yang Jian to gain 24% experience from this wave of wild monsters.

The only downside was that this small area's wild monsters were basically cleared out in this wave.

When ordinary players farm monsters, whether they circle around or move to a different map after clearing an area, they generally don't worry about running out of monsters to kill.

They don't kill as fast as the monsters respawn!

But with Yang Jian's method of killing monsters, he sometimes genuinely gets a headache wondering where the next monsters will come from!

Leaving this area, he searched for other mountain ravines.

After running for several tens of minutes, Yang Jian saw an unusual place!

Hmm? What's that?

Buildings?

Yang Jian approached another mountain ravine, and right at the entrance, there were scattered buildings!

Looking at the humanoid creatures, they were fine!

They were red-named!

[Goblin Laborer, LV30]

[Venture Company, Normal Monster]

[Health: 30,000]

[Skills: ...]

A Level 30 humanoid monster with only 30,000 health?

Can you withstand one arrow from me?

[Name: Goblin]

[Description: A humanoid race with full intelligence, but they are notoriously greedy, valuing money over life.

For money, they dare to build Dark Portals for the Abyss, once causing immense disaster to a world, and were consequently despised by gods and all living beings...]

[Note: In the world of the gods, you've seen the fate of those despised by the gods!

They can be human, or they can be monsters...]

Yang Jian didn't have such a bleeding-heart, saintly mindset.

He had only one thought now: kill this guy!

The moment Yang Jian drew his bow, an inconspicuous small alarm light nearby started beeping erratically!

"Alarm, alarm, intrusion alert!"

The ordinary Goblin Yang Jian was aiming at also saw him.

Goblins further inside also dropped their work and ran towards their respective mechs.

What the heck... Yang Jian was stunned; in a short while, fifty or sixty mechs rushed out of the ravine.

[Combatant No. 6, LV30]

[Mech, Elite]

[Health: 300,000]

[Skills: Chainsaw Slash, Flying Saw, Flamethrower...]

Watching the distant alarm robots light up and clamor one by one, Yang Jian feared that a large BOSS might jump out from inside later, which wouldn't be good!

He raised his bow, unleashing a Volley combined with a Quadruple Shot... In less than ten seconds, all fifty Combatant No. 6 robots were scrapped.

The lucky Goblins managed to jump out, looking pale as they fled towards the cave at the back.

The unlucky ones were directly killed by the shockwave when the robots were destroyed!

He came here to level up, so run? Where could these guys run?

"Alarm, alarm, intrusion alert!"

The sounds merged into a continuous din, and Yang Jian once again raised his bow, killing all the clamoring alarm robots... The scene became completely silent.

"Boss, listening to the sound, it seems like something is about to emerge from underground over there..."

"Pick up the drops, let's retreat first!"

"Alright!"

Yang Jian and Mo Song split up, and soon collected all the items in one go.

Then the two ran out of this mountain ravine!

Just as they ran out, a gigantic mech burst out of the house connected to the cave behind them.

[Crusher No. 3, LV35]

[Mech, Silver-tier]

[Health: 30,000,000]

[Skills: Steel Body, Active Armor, Serrated Flying Wheel, Flying Saw...]

Yang Jian glanced at the attributes, then stealthily entered Leopard Form and slipped away with Mo Song!

Crusher No. 3 was clearly also driven by a Goblin; when the driver emerged, he only saw a mess on the ground and screamed in rage!

A mere Level 35 Silver-tier BOSS?

Just wait, as soon as my level goes up, you'll be the first I take down!

Yang Jian's heart was truly filled with indignation!

In the past, he used to challenge everything and everyone, but he never expected that after changing maps, he would be chased everywhere!

Who could bear such a disparity?

He found a safe place to check the loot.

It wasn't conventional; there were four engineering blueprints, and many of the dropped items were engineering parts!

Too bad Yang Jian didn't have engineering skills... Most of the exposed mountains of Chishan were dark red, not to mention the areas covered by vegetation... Continuing east, towards the East Coast for over half an hour, Yang Jian arrived at a huge depression.

This was the Southeast Plains marked on the map!

Mountains surrounded this plain on all sides.

Spring water from White Stone Mountain to the north formed a waterfall that rushed down, flowing across this vast plain and heading south.

The water flow seemed to disappear into an underground river... This Southeast Plains was genuinely located at a critical transportation hub.

Going north through the Stone Forest Mountains would lead to White Stone Mountain.

Of course, according to the flight administrator, this path was currently blocked by the Centaur tribe.

They couldn't even cross the Stone Forest Mountains, let alone climb White Stone Mountain!

Yang Jian couldn't even be bothered to check how many Centaurs there were.

In any case, they definitely couldn't beat them for now!

Crossing the Southeast Plains and passing through the mountain road on the other side, descending the mountain would lead to the East Coast... Going through the mountain road to the south required passing through a Gloomy Swamp, then the Exorcist's Path, and finally arriving at Troll Valley, the southernmost tip of the Eastern Continent!

The map of Zhenhai City could be bought in the inner city.

However, the terrain outlined with just a few strokes on the map felt so rich and colorful when he actually traversed it!

Mo Song stood beside Yang Jian, sighing involuntarily.

"What a great place! Perfect for us to pull monsters and level up!"

"No time for sighing, let's study it properly tomorrow during the day; leveling up quickly during the Blood Moon is the priority!"

"Let's go!"

Having just arrived at a new place, the journey of leveling up was always full of surprises.

For example... [Valley Raptor, LV40]

[Sub-Dragon Race, Elite]

[Health: 500,000]

[Skills: Ferocious Bite, Leap, Tail Swipe, Roar...]

Yang Jian was halfway through fighting when he discovered a giant hidden among the small wild monsters he had pulled... By now, Yang Jian had figured out many rules.

For example, this health... it was related to many things: race, level, tier, and so on.

For instance, this Raptor Elite had 500,000 health.

While a Crystallized Lizard Elite would only have 300,000 at most.

For example, the most common Level 30 Ogre had 50,000 health.

While a Level 30 Goblin only had 30,000 health... Alas, different races, different destinies!

He wondered how much health true Dragonkin would have when he encountered them in the future!

"You pull it away, we'll split up and run; I'll run further away and dismiss you..."

Mo Song received the order, turned around, and scratched the Raptor with Shadow Claw.

The opponent retaliated, hitting Mo Song for 8,000 health with a 95% damage increase... Fortunately, his health was high enough that it didn't really hurt.

Yang Jian ran to a safe distance, found a blind spot, and feigned death to drop combat.

He caught his breath, dismissed Mo Song from this relatively safe spot... He checked the time; it was already half past twelve!

They had been in this Southeast Plains for over three hours.

Yang Jian and Mo Song had attempted to pull three waves of monsters... It couldn't be called a failure, just not that successful!

The first time, Yang Jian accidentally stumbled into a Level 40 Golden BOSS's territory and was chased for dozens of miles.

Yang Jian eventually hid behind a giant rock to break line of sight, using Feign Death + Leopard Form stealth to escape.

The second and third times were considered successes, and they gained a good portion of experience.

However, there were always a few Level 40 wild monsters mixed in, which Yang Jian and Mo Song couldn't defeat, and they had to run very far to shake them off.

Why did they need to run so far?

Because Yang Jian chose to farm monsters in the most open area for visibility!

To prevent monsters from losing sight of him and dropping combat... But when they couldn't win, this choice often became a hindrance to their escape!

He checked his level.

Level 21, 63%.

Although the efficiency was somewhat reduced, to be honest, it was still much faster than in Nightshade Town!

The monster density and experience here were beyond compare!

Yang Jian had already decided that he would thoroughly explore the monsters here!

Where were the high-level monster groups, and what kind of BOSSes were there!

Yang Jian decided that during this Blood Moon night, he would measure this plain with Mo Song's own feet.

"Is this place really that big?"

Mo Song and Yang Jian ran for over an hour, killing every monster they encountered, leaving none behind... Of course, bullying the weak and fearing the strong had become their norm.

When they encountered those they couldn't defeat, they knew when to concede!

"Remember, if they look like this, we can't beat them..."

"It's too hard to remember by appearance, but it doesn't matter, I've memorized this area!

I'll go around this place when I pull monsters later!"

When they reached the river again, Yang Jian lay down on the grass by the riverbank.

"Let's rest for a bit!"

After more than two hours, they hadn't even explored a small portion of the plain west of the river.

For example, Yang Jian didn't dare to enter the woods near the surrounding mountains.

The Level 40 Golden BOSS they encountered earlier was found there!

Yang Jian's Agility was now 1869 points; his pure speed alone could achieve the effect of a high-speed train before it accelerated!

Without transforming, his speed could easily exceed 300 yards per hour!

Transforming into Travel Form increased his movement speed by 80%, allowing him to run at 500 yards per hour!

Yet, after two hours, only a small portion of this plain had been explored... Mo Suqing: The negotiations are over... Yang Jian: Okay!

Mo Suqing: Don't you want to ask what the conditions were?

Yang Jian: With your ability, how could you let them off easy?

Mo Suqing: Hehe, Boss, you really know how to talk, no wonder you can fool Xiao Yueyue so easily!

Yang Jian: Familiarity is one thing, but if you slander me like that, I'll still make things difficult for you!

Mo Suqing: Alright, no more jokes.

They are compensating 5,000 gold coins, 500 million Xia Yuan, and various equipment and materials filling 30 20-slot bags!

Yang Jian: The others don't matter, but the key is the materials; don't let them trick us with sub-par goods!

Mo Suqing: OK!

Just as he hung up the chat with Mo Suqing, Bai Youyou contacted him again!

Bai Youyou: Made peace?

Yang Jian: Otherwise?

Bai Youyou: So they can come and go as they please!

Yang Jian: We need to understand the main contradiction!

The main contradiction now is the Abyss, which is eyeing us covetously, and will invade Blue Star in at most half a year... Right now, nothing is more important than leveling up... Bai Youyou: Understood.

What about those scattered players guarding corpses?

Yang Jian: The announcement said it ends tomorrow morning at eight, right? Okay, send out a notice saying the event is over, and for those players currently guarding corpses, calculate their time until tomorrow morning at eight, two hundred per hour, just pay them and be done with it!

Bai Youyou: Didn't you say the allied forces would pay?

Yang Jian: 5,000 gold coins, 500 million cash!

Bai Youyou: That's not much!

Yang Jian: We got 30 bags of various materials.

You can categorize them and store them in the system warehouse later!

You coordinate with Mo Suqing; don't act like enemies!

Bai Youyou: Hehe, you big boss certainly knows how to enjoy life, never soft when assigning us work...

Yang Jian: You've worked hard!

I'll take you leveling later!

Bai Youyou: Better not, it's more important for you to become strong quickly... Ten minutes later, Bai Youyou started spamming the world channel.

World Channel Message.

Thousand Years of White Clouds: After mediation by the Great Xia Federation, Zhenhai City belongs to the players of Xia Kingdom, and both sides have decided to cease hostilities.

Star Palace's promise remains valid; players currently guarding corpses, please register at the Star Palace outpost within one hour.

Mission time will be calculated until tomorrow morning at eight, and the promise of two hundred yuan per hour remains valid!

Note: Non-Xia Kingdom players are requested to leave Zhenhai City via the teleportation array within three days; Star Palace will conduct a clean-up operation every three days... Thousand Years of White Clouds: After mediation by the Great Xia Federation...

Subsequently, all major short video platforms also released Star Palace's statement!

"It's over just like that?"

"At such a crucial time in the early stages of the server, what else could happen if it didn't end?"

"Sigh, it feels a bit anticlimactic!"

"Didn't you see that even the Great Xia Federation intervened?

They probably traded Star Palace's interests for benefits on the international stage..."

"No way? Would Star Palace agree to that?"

"What can they do if they don't agree?

Can an arm twist a thigh?"

"That's true..."

The allied forces probably also received news from the higher-ups, so they nervously lay dead and then used their Hearthstone to leave!

Thus, this localized conflict officially came to an end!
