Chapter 312 Times have changed
There were continuous rumbling sounds of explosions, and huge metal pieces falling from the sky exploded into a cloud of dust, instantly covering the entire camp in thick dust.

Many awakened ones were smashed to the ground on the spot, with countless casualties.

In the dust, an adventurer kept coughing and slapping the thick fog in front of him, his voice full of doubt and confusion:

"…This isn't a cannonball, what the hell is this!?"

That thing looked like some kind of heavy metal facility, not like a cannonball at all. I don't know what it was used for.

"Whatever it is, stay the fuck away from me!!!"

Before the commander could finish his words, the huge piece of metal suddenly split apart, and a powerful black mist burst out, instantly knocking the frightened adventurer to the ground.

A sky-high scream erupted from the thick fog, and in an instant, the man turned into a dried corpse and shattered onto the ground. A pitch-black metal skull mask suddenly turned around and met the gaze of another adventurer.

In his eyes, the other person's head was bright red, with a string of large words on it:
[Soul-sucking Ghost: Lv.18]

The next moment, countless ejection pods broke apart at the same time, and countless black mists filled the sky and burst out, swarming in all directions amid screams.

[All-server notice: The "Outlaw Front Camp" in the Demon King's City was attacked by the Demon King's army. All-server support is requested! ]

Perhaps it was Ji Li’s sudden surprise attack that caught the controller behind Lingboyu off guard. Instead of hiding and recovering, you came out and took the initiative to attack?

But the sounds erupting from countless watches undoubtedly made the scene even more chaotic. Screams, screams, and sane voices were intertwined with the watches, creating a chaotic and noisy mess.

The man looked at each other and turned around and ran away in intense fear, but he didn't notice that there was a black fog all around him. He ran into a soul-sucking ghost that was circling around him in the form of fog, and was sucked into a mummy in a burst of red light.

In the highly invisible thick dust and black smoke, screams accompanied every whistling black gas and red light.

The commander released his spiritual essence in anxiety, trying to call out to the adventurers around him.

But the scene was already in chaos. Many people began to randomly release spiritual spells due to this sudden situation. For a moment, the black fog was filled with various colors of spiritual light.

The evil spirit troops that emerged from the ejection cabin easily roamed among the flying evil spirit spells. Everything was clearly visible in their eyes, and they would stab any adventurer who was running around with their swords.

Outside the rising dust, all people could hear were constant screams and flying black smoke. Many people ignored their friendly forces and began to use various skills towards the smokescreen.

Some adventurers were about to escape, but were knocked to the ground by their own people's spiritual spells, and then had their legs and feet chopped off by the evil spirit troops, or were directly hit by the fatal suction of the soul-sucking ghost.

An evil spirit commander suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where the attacks were coming from, and pulled the Black Ice Knight Sword out of the abdomen of an adventurer.

He quickly reached the edge of the thick fog with several other evil spirit commanders, opened his mouth and several bursts of spiritual fire erupted, forcing back the people outside the circle.

Then they jointly opened a black ice wall to separate the adventurers coming from one direction.

And just like they did in the core hall of the city hall, they raised a dense black ice maze to create favorable terrain.

At this moment, looking from the outside, the core area of the adventurer camp was shrouded in black smoke.

There was an even darker black fog running around, crashing into the crowd, picking up one person and rushing to the other side of the smoke screen. When the red light came on, one person was killed.

The maze made of black ice gradually spread out and spread towards the entire medium-sized camp. The figures of the evil spirit troops flickered and moved in it, constantly chopping off the limbs of the panicked adventurers and leaving them for the soul-sucking ghosts to harvest.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the commander made up his mind and punched an attacking soul-sucking ghost with a burst of spiritual energy, causing black smoke to fill the sky and then it crashed into a tent amid screams.

Then a bright white light shone brightly in the black fog, accompanied by a violent shock wave, shattering all the black smoke and black ice maze:

"Calm down, everyone! The highest level of these soul-sucking ghosts is only 18! No matter what level the owner behind them is! In this hell, we have to abide by the rules of the game!!!"

A figure wearing a dark green cloak jumped onto a high wall. It was the commander, who shouted angrily:

"Stop running around and fighting! Are you waiting to be sucked dry and die?!"

No matter what level this commander had been at before, his current spiritual essence level of level 30 in the Spirit Prison was enough to make his roar startle countless people and briefly bring them back to their senses from the panic.

The black smoke and thick dust that filled the sky were completely blown away.

Countless people witnessed the tragic scene around them, and in shock and anger they launched a counterattack against Odin's guards.

But before they could take even half a step, another dense mass of assault pods came towards them -

"Heaven! Again?!"

Boom boom boom——! ! !
The meteorite-like impact destroyed the newly constructed fortifications and several buildings.

The shrieking black smoke from the Soul Suckers and the ever-growing black ice turned the other end of the camp into a battlefield. Without waiting for the first wave of attackers to react, Odin's guards who arrived at the battlefield first rushed in all directions without stopping.

The commander has decided to turn the tide and not get stuck in the confusion just now.

He simply opened up his spiritual essence and crushed a piece of debris in his pocket:
"Evil spirit!!!"

He instantly transformed into a four-meter-tall giant in silver-white armor and landed on the ground with a bang.

With a casual step, a shock wave spread out, shattering the newly formed black ice maze and crushing several evil spirit troops.

Then he grabbed a soul-sucking ghost that turned into black smoke and flew towards him with his left hand, crushing it to death, and smashed two soul-sucking ghosts with his right fist. The screams of black smoke and souls roared in the sky:

"Resist the force field!! Come here!"

He opened up his white spiritual essence, which turned into translucent crystals and spread to a radius of dozens of meters.

The appearance of the commander lifted the spirits of countless people. At this moment, they felt like they had a backbone. They worked together to resist the sudden attack of Odin's guards and rushed towards the commander without hesitation.

But just as they entered the commander's protective range with a roar of thunder and waves, a large and dense barrage of bullets instantly shattered a corner of the force field and tore the silver giant's shoulder on the spot -

"what?!"

The commander spat out a mouthful of blood. The moment he turned his head suddenly, he saw a slowly stopping machine gun sticking out from the black fog. He was stunned on the spot.

Extremely clear surprise and doubt flashed across his cloudy eyes, and then he heard a hoarse voice coming from the thick smoke:
“My friend, times have changed.”

The machine gun roared.

The force field was instantly shattered by the violent barrage of bullets, tearing his wrist which he had just raised, and even his head was covered with sores. He took two steps back with heavy footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, there was a barrage of bullets like a rainstorm and a deafening roar that rumbled through the sky.

In an instant, under the shocked gazes of countless people, the four-meter-tall body of the highest level of the camp, who had just been so powerful, exploded in the barrage!
The commander spurted blood, his evil spirit body exploded into pieces and he fell to the ground. Before he could recover, several streams of black smoke rushed up and red light burst out.

With heart-wrenching screams, he was eaten on the spot.

The adventurers around them only felt their hands and feet cold, and spiritual essence suddenly gathered on their bodies. They watched as heavy footsteps were heard in the rising dust and black fog - black smoke came out of the silver multi-round gun barrels, and evil spirit followers wearing heavy black ice armor, carrying huge ammunition boxes on their backs and holding heavy kinetic machine guns in their hands, broke through the black smoke one by one and slowly emerged.

His eyes, burning with blue spiritual fire, swept over the countless adventurers before him.

This scene was clearly captured by the eyes of all the adventurers present. Their spiritual essence, which they had been trying their best to accumulate, suddenly froze on the spot. Their expressions were as wonderful as they could be, and they were stunned on the spot.

Gatling... ?
"run……"

Someone murmured.

"Run!!!!"

The entire counterattack that had just been reorganized collapsed in an instant.

At the moment when countless people screamed and looked back, a barrage of bullets poured out from dozens of kinetic machine guns.

The fiery light roared through the entire camp, piercing through and tearing apart the fragile human bodies and the buildings behind them.

The crowd fell down screaming like wheat was being cut, and broken flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

The powerful firepower penetrated another wave of battle groups not far behind them, knocking down a large number of them one after another, tearing the crowd horizontally and sweeping left and right.

Amid the screams and cries that reached the sky, people kept falling down with serious injuries, their lower bodies torn apart, and buildings collapsed like dominoes.

An outlaw elite evaded the terrifying fire net in fear, and stumbled onto the high platform of the building, looking at the massacre in front of him with shock and anger:
"What the hell is this... Isn't this a medieval setting?! How can there be heavy firepower like a machine gun?!"

"Don't worry about the fucking shit! Run!!!"

A colleague hadn't even finished his words when he screamed and was knocked off the platform by the black smoke. He was pressed into the barrage of bullets and became half paralyzed. Then he was sucked into a mummy.

The platform where he was standing was instantly torn apart by the barrage of bullets.

He only had time to turn around and flee, but he heard the sound of his bones cracking, and his entire vision suddenly collapsed -

His lower body was smashed.

The black smoke fell to the ground, and the soul-sucking ghost with blood-red eyes pressed down on his head, and red light burst out.

The camp had fallen.

Feeling the spiritual essence constantly flowing into his body, Ji Li casually took out four more breeding cabins at home and summoned ten soul-sucking ghosts around him.

Then he ejected eight new kinetic machine guns from home, deployed a group of evil spirit troops, and then used the ejection capsule to blast all the way from his home into the nearly occupied camp and kicked open the hatch.

Ji Li emerged from the dark assault cabin—

To occupy the core building, he must go there in person to obtain permission.

As soon as he came out, he turned his head and saw an adventurer hiding in the opened ejection cabin.

The moment their eyes met, the man suddenly revealed a smile that was uglier than crying:
"I……"

"Shh-"

Ji Li raised a finger to signal him not to panic, while looking around wondering why no guards noticed him.

At the same time, he slowly walked up to him, pressed the man who was about to move back, picked up a long knife on the ground and broke his knee directly.

Finally, he ignored the screams and black smoke behind him, found the front-line command center and went straight in.

Instead, the ten newly generated soul-sucking ghosts turned into a cloud of black smoke and rushed in, while the machine gunner followed closely behind with heavy steps.

The elite defenders there were fighting hard with the evil spirit troops and several soul-sucking ghosts, and now they saw Ji Li rushing in.

Before he could even utter the word "Devil", he was knocked down by the new influx of black smoke.

Ji Li walked quickly towards the core room. Along the way, people kept trying to launch fearless attacks on him.

A sturdy man covered in blood opened his evil spirit and rushed towards him, but was beaten to pieces by a hail of bullets.

The invisible woman fell from the sky towards him, but just as she landed in mid-air, she was knocked away by the black smoke and sucked dry.

The "Mage" hiding in the upper window tried to quietly blast him with his spiritual essence, but was torn apart along with the bunker by the dense rain of bullets like a meteor.

Ji Li immediately raised his hand: "Take it easy, the original building strength of the Demon King City is not good enough."

Soon, he arrived at the core room as if he was in an empty place, and saw a hall and giant device similar to the previous ones.

The last team left there to fight back opened their spiritual essence like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

Some are transformed into evil spirits, some have tattoos and are addicted to magic, and some have traps and spells laid on the ground.

After a burst of bullet screen, everything became quiet.

As Ji Li successfully inserted his hand into the device, the spiritual circuit lit up, and this building was already connected to him.

But the next moment, he felt his soul trigger throbbing violently:

"BLACK GOAT!!!"

Amidst the deafening roar, the entire ceiling above Ji Li's head was blown away and disappeared with a loud bang. A demon-like figure shrouded in repeated ore and iron threw a giant meteor-like spear at him.

[Illegal Advance Lieutenant: Lv.40]

[All-server notification: The outlaw army led by the Outlaw Commander has received the blessing of the Lightless True King due to its slow marching speed, allowing the outlaw vanguard to reach the target location ahead of schedule! ]

[Join the outlaw vanguard now, retake the camp that is about to fall, and win the free prize of clearing the game! ! ]

Ji Li's pupils shrank slightly, and then he suddenly grinned:

"Stupid."

[New territory detected. Assimilation begins due to core changes...]

boom! ! ! ! !
Under the shocked gaze of the attackers, the building where Ji Li was located burst into mechanical tentacles that shot up into the sky and wrapped around him layer by layer.

And his missile-like super spear suddenly bounced away in the sudden burst of sparks——

"What!?"

At the same time, a violent wave of machinery surged from the inner city toward the camp.
