Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 121 Super BOSS, Nameless Ancient Demon

Twenty-four hours after the red tide broke out, Su Yu was shocked to find that the red tide had become much more difficult to deal with.

The minimum level of the spirit has increased from level 50 yesterday to level 70, a full 20 levels higher. In addition, the number of monsters with a level of over 100 has increased significantly, and groups of player spirits have begun to appear continuously.

These spirits inherited their Taoist skills and instincts from their previous lives, and formed a team to jointly besiege the City of Wrathful Tide.

The Rage Tide Guild, which barely managed to hold off yesterday, is clearly struggling today. The reserves that were still in place yesterday have been forced to be deployed to the four corners of the city.

Meanwhile, the respawn rate at the city's respawn points has increased, clearly indicating that players who are hiding in the wild are about to reach their limit.

"They might not be able to hold on."

Luo Qingchan's clear voice rang in Su Yu's ears.

He turned around, looking surprised.
"Why do you say that?"

"The red tide on Flying Star Island has been accumulating for five years before it erupts. Both the density of the red tide and the strength of the spirits are higher than usual. Small guilds have a hard time surviving the normal red tide, and the enhanced red tide is even more difficult to resist."

"Generally, a red tide lasts for three days before it leaves, with its power gradually increasing until it reaches its peak on the third day. We're already struggling on the second day. What should we do tomorrow?"

Su Yu frowned. He didn't doubt that Luo Qingchan was exaggerating; she had no reason to do so.

What if we can't withstand it?

"Either escape or die in battle, and then the city is destroyed."

"So miserable?"

"So it's not so easy to establish a foothold on the high seas!"

"On the high seas, the difference between a team or guild and its potential lies in whether it can establish itself in the Red Tide. If it cannot establish itself in the Red Tide, it will be destroyed every few years after it is built today. This guild has no potential and will find it difficult to attract experts."

"Well"

Su Yu remained silent, only waving the Wind and Fire Fan, unleashing a dense barrage of True Flame Thunder.

He had no choice but to wait and see.

If we really can't hold them off, then we'll have no choice but to run away.

"A level 160 fire demon is coming from the north! Quick, experts, come quick!"

Without hesitation, the two took off and flew north. In the distance, they saw a spirit surrounded by golden flames standing outside the city. This thing looked like a fire ape, level 165, a terrifying level, with many fiery eyes on its body, and rolling fire clouds formed around it.

There are already quite a few people surrounding them, including several experts.

With a flick of its wrist, the fire demon unleashed a series of five-fire divine lightning bolts, instantly transforming the city walls into a sea of ​​thunder and fire.

Fire King swayed, and strange light shot out from his body and eyes, transforming into a large number of fire horses, fire sparrows, fire tigers and other fire spirits. They roared and charged in all directions, turning several kilometers into a sea of ​​fire. Part of the fire extended to the city walls, where ordinary players were burned and chased around by the fire spirits.

Their fourth or fifth-tier defensive magic items couldn't withstand a few burns from a level 160 or higher boss.

The fire demon is a fire spirit, the master of flames. It can play with all kinds of flames in its hands. In addition, it can use the Five Fire Divine Thunder. With a barrage of attacks, even a group of two or three thousand people gathered on this section of the city wall could not withstand it.

Until Su Yu and Luo Qingchan arrived, their two ninth-tier flying swords slashed down, immediately attracting the attention of the Fire Demon. The Fire Demon reached up with its claws, and flames gathered into clouds, followed by a barrage of fireballs the size of washbasins raining down.

Su Yu immediately activated the Wind and Fire Fan, and the falling fireballs were restrained by an invisible force and blasted into the ground outside the city.

The Wind and Fire Fan, drawing upon the primordial power of the True Feather of a divine bird over two hundred levels, can control wind and fire.

I just didn't need it before and had never used it.

This time, he didn't need to exert much effort. He simply activated the eighth-order Wind and Fire Fan to suppress the Fire Demon's flames. Luo Qingchan then used both swords to fiercely slash at the Fire Demon from the front, causing it to burst into flames, and even the blood it spat out was burning.

With a natural sword physique, two ninth-tier flying swords, and a high-level defensive magic weapon, Luo Qingchan is now fully capable of taking on any monster below level 150 on her own.

With the two of them working together as the main force, and with the bombardment of hundreds of elite players who came after hearing the news, it took them several minutes to surround and kill the isolated and helpless Fire Demon.

Even though the fire demon was constantly under attack, it still managed to kill forty or fifty people despite the relentless bombardment.

When this thing died, it dropped a sixth-grade Fire Demon Essence and a sixth-tier exquisite Fire Demon Robe. The robe comes with Fire Control and Five Fire Divine Thunder spells, and can summon more than a hundred level 80 Fire Spirits. It is a rare robe mainly used for combat.

Both of these are quite valuable; a sixth-grade magic robe is already the ceiling for most players.

A sixth-grade fire demon essence can also be used to create a sixth-order flying sword or magic weapon. If it is of the same fire attribute, it will also be accompanied by the Five Fire Divine Thunder technique, which will definitely be a fine or even rare magic weapon, and is quite valuable.

Do you need either of these?

Luo Qingchan raised an eyebrow and said:

"150 gold!"

"can."

He immediately took out 150 gold coins to trade with her.

Normally, these two should be worth around 400 gold.

Su Yu no longer needs sixth-tier magic weapons. The reason she collected them is mainly because they are pure fire attribute magic robes and essences, which she may be able to use in the future.

If you have the chance to farm some more Rank 6 fire elemental essences, the combined power of multiple essences can upgrade a Rank 6 fire elemental magic weapon to Rank 7.

Although it cannot compare to a true seventh-grade essence, and its potential for advancement as a magic weapon is limited, it is still a seventh-grade magic weapon.

Even if I can't collect all the gold, I'm not worried. I can sell it anytime and make some money. "Great, that's another few hundred gold."

Su Yu happily put away her spoils, then unleashed a barrage of attacks with her fire fan, blasting back the surge of spirit essence that had rushed in after the fire demon's death. She then transformed the fire into wind, creating a giant fiery tornado column two to three hundred meters high outside the city, emitting a powerful attraction that drew in the low-level spirit essence flowing in from that direction.

Once this thing is caught in the tornado column, it will be torn to pieces after a few rounds. Its killing efficiency is no less than that of Luo Qingchan.

Not long after, the two heard that there was a BOSS in the east of the city.

He immediately brandished his wind and fire fan, channeling tens of thousands of magical powers into the tornado pillar, and then the two of them rushed towards the east of the city.

Fortunately, the tornado pillar won't collapse immediately if left unattended. However, without maintenance, the power inside will slowly dissipate. He just injected tens of thousands of mana in one go, so as long as there's no BOSS attack, it can last for at least one or two minutes before collapsing.

The two fought swiftly, defeating the East City BOSS in just over a minute, and returned to find the tornado pillar still standing.

The Red Tide became much more difficult on the second day, but it was still the same for the two of them, posing little threat. Moreover, as the difficulty of the Red Tide increased, the level of the spirits inside also increased, and they gained more killing experience than the day before.

The difference is that I farmed fewer bosses and gained fewer cultivation points than yesterday.

It's not that there are fewer bosses, but rather that as more and more wilderness teams die and return, 90% of the players in and around Rage Tide Island are now gathered in the city, creating a bustling scene. The city also has many more powerful teams and experts, all of whom are capable of dealing with bosses that are just over level 100.

They shared the pressure and also took the bosses, which resulted in them killing fewer bosses.

In half a day, he accumulated more than 400 points of cultivation.

It was precisely because a large number of players died and returned to join the city defense that the Raging Tide Gang managed to hold back the Red Tide.

They kept fighting until nightfall without losing the city's defenses, and Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She and Luo Qingchan returned to the city for a second rest.

With a large number of players returning or dying and coming back, there are now an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 players in Rage Tide City. The small city is full of players, and no one can sleep in this situation. Almost all players are active.

The two walked around the main street but couldn't find a place to rest; even the rooftops were full of people.

He could only summon the Azure Sinking Boat, which hovered in the air, and rest on it.

After ordering takeout and eating his fill, Su Yu took out his jade gourd and took a sip. When he saw Luo Qingchan looking at him with her beautiful eyes, he raised an eyebrow and smiled as he took out a gourd of monkey wine and threw it to her.

"I thought they wouldn't be able to hold out, but I didn't expect so many players to revive here. With so many people, it looks like they can hold out for three days."

Luo Qingchan tilted her head back and took a big gulp of fruit wine, but shook her head and said:
"It's hard to say. Although more people mean greater strength, more people also make it easier to attract the essence of the Red Tide to gather here."

"The most crucial factor is their luck. If they are lucky enough not to attract the attention of the super boss, they can indeed survive. If they are unlucky enough to attract the attention of the super boss, then they are basically doomed."

"boom!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening roar suddenly resounded through the heavens and earth, followed by a burst of blood-red light shooting into the sky.

Su Yu reflexively looked in the direction of the blood-red light and saw a blood-red sun hanging in the sky, rapidly approaching. Below the blood-red sun was a sea of ​​blood like waves, stretching to the left and right into the invisible crimson tide.

"Blood God Child?"

The next second, the sea of ​​blood was right in front of him. With his powerful eyesight, he saw a tall, blood-red demonic figure standing above the sea of ​​blood under the blood sun, surrounded by a dense array of blood god children moving back and forth.

Even before the demon arrived, its terrifying pressure sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Shit!"

Su Yu jumped up, looking at the towering demonic figure standing above the sea of ​​blood with a shocked expression.

Nameless Ancient Demon (Legend): Demon King, Level 210, Ancient Demon.

Attributes: 7200 million HP, 220 million MP, 65 Attack Power, 4200 km/h Speed: Nine Heavens Secret Demon Scripture, Blood Nerve, Blood Demon God True Body, Taiyin God Slaughtering Technique, Yin Demon Slash, Black Fiend Blood Flame Divine Qi, and the Great and Small Twelve Heavenly Secret Demon Techniques.

Attribute: Realm Suppression (Earth Immortal).

Magical artifacts: Blood Demon Cauldron (Ninth Rank), Netherworld Blood Demon Banner (Eighth Rank).

"Super BOSS".

One of the thirteen super bosses in the Red Tide of the Flying Star Islands.

Su Yu turned around, and Luo Qingchan also looked over. The two nodded in unison.

"run!"

Luo Qingchan stomped her foot, and the Azure Sinking Boat quickly rose into the air.

At this moment, Su Yu received a message from Qi Dongyang:
"Brother Su, could you do me a favor and take my wife and daughter away?"

Su Yu immediately shared the information with Luo Qingchan, who nodded after only a second of hesitation:

"Send them to the west of the city."

He immediately sent the message, and Qi Dongyang replied immediately:

"They're already in the west of the city."

In the blink of an eye, Bi Chenzhou had reached the western city wall. At this time, a large number of flying boats had gathered on the city wall. The morale of the players inside the city collapsed the moment they saw the nameless ancient demon appear. Those who reacted quickly took to the air and ran away.

The Rage Tide Gang reacted quickly, and upon seeing the super BOSS appear, they decisively prepared to retreat.

There was absolutely no way to stop them. A super BOSS with a level 200+ legendary template was simply beyond the capabilities of a small guild like theirs.
