Chapter 161: Chapter 98 Glorious Moment (Requesting Monthly Ticket)

The fierce battle at the Cloud Field Domain Node has been raging for 2 hours.

During this time, support forces from the Horror Black Tide have surged from all directions.

The Joint Task Force, which has pushed near the Cloud Field Node, has suffered ongoing casualties during this period.

But having held out until now, everyone is clear that victory is not far off for their side.

During this time, a new type of Black Tide Demonic Spirit born from the Black Tide has given Ye Xing, the commander in charge of operations, a lot of headaches.

This demonic spirit looks like a large meatball with legs, with a broad head, eyes deeply sunken into its thick tumor-like body, glowing with faint light, and a gaping mouth full of sharp fangs exuding a green mist and dripping viscous saliva, which instantly corrodes the ground to a charred black upon contact.

The lower limbs of the demonic spirit are thick and deformed, with no arms, and two small tumors on its back covered in spots of mold and rotting flesh, emitting waves of suffocating stench, and releasing green fumes as it moves.

It can be called a walking source of infection.

Players at the forefront have analyzed and released information about this newborn demonic spirit in the local area chat.

[Black Tide·Plague Ball]

Hunting Level: 12

Target Introduction: Black Tide Demonic Spirit, low-level Plague Series soldier, capable of releasing a range of plague poison fog, contact with the fog increases damage taken from Black Tide corrosion and is accompanied by negative statuses such as dizziness and nausea (the specific effects depend on the individual’s physical fitness; the stronger the fitness, the lower the infectious damage, and if one has sufficient body strength, they can be immune to infection).

...

Plague Balls condensed by the Black Tide can be called the bane of tanks.

The corrosion damage from the plague is not high, but its effects can weaken the defense of front-line stone statute players, significantly boosting the damage caused by Black Tide Demonic Spirits.

It functions like the common Debuff in games, weakening the players’ ability to take damage upon infection.

This has hindered the team’s advance.

Stone Statue Players are the staunch rocks of the team, their main function being to protect the rear players from operating normally, avoiding external disturbances.

And the core ability of Stone-Statue Ghost players is their formidable physical and defensive power.

The poison fog released by the Plague Balls weakens the strongest attribute of Stone Statue Players, significantly increasing the number of casualties during the advance.

Together with constant new reinforcements from the Black Tide, the battle is about to be dragged into a war of attrition, which they excel in.

In Ye Xing’s eyes, who is responsible for the command, this is a sign of impending failure.

With the number disparity already so great, once they fall into a war of attrition, their side will undoubtedly be defeated.

In the entire Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, only the Insect Tide has the capability to engage in a war of attrition with the Black Tide Demonic Spirits by continuously spawning soldiers.

The Rule characteristics of the Combat Insect Clan for collecting pheromones allows them to quickly breed new soldier types specialized in countering these new species from the Black Tide, even if they fall temporarily into a disadvantageous position.

Just like the soldier type unit previously created to counter the explosive trait of the Ghost Baby: Shield Wings.

Plague Ball-like special soldier types, when facing the Insect Tide, will also quickly have counteractive soldier types developed against them.

Perhaps a combat force unit that can spray energy to disperse and withstand the spread of plague energy, or perhaps a combat force unit that can absorb plague energy, and so on.

As long as the Insect Race Mainbrain has enough time to collect pheromones, a combat unit designed to counter the new soldier type will make its appearance.

These two powers give Ye Xing a feeling that.

The Black Tide possesses a vast Soldier Type Library, and as long as the strength of the Black Tide reaches a certain stage, it can enter the library to choose life sequence combinations, and then breed new soldier types suitable for the current strength of the Black Tide, at every stage.

From the initial Level 2-4 Demonic Spirits to the current Plague Balls, the strength of the Black Tide has advanced several times.

The same is true for the Insect Tide.

As soon as the Black Tide breeds a new soldier type, it can collect the pheromones provided by the new soldier species through battle, and then create a combat unit that specifically counters this new soldier type.

Without dwelling on this problem, Ye Xing begins to think about how to break through the current situation.

With the advance of the battle formation gradually slowing down, he must find a way to deal with these troublesome Plague Balls and ensure the forward push of the Stone Statue Players.

"All guilds tally up the number of assassin stream players, and then report to me, quickly!"

Upon hearing Ye Xing’s order, the guild leaders promptly inquired through the guild voice channel.

Shortly after, Ye Xing received the statistical data.

When he found out there were only 59 players who chose the assassin stream in the Joint Task Force, he couldn’t help frowning, but still issued the command:

"All assassin stream players, activate Twilight Shadow Form and move out from both flanks of the battle formation, target: Plague Balls."

After the order was given, assassin stream players from the Joint Task Force set off one by one, turning into shadows and moving rapidly from the flanks towards the most intense part of the main battle line.

Ye Xing also used his Perception at this moment to lock onto the positions of the Plague Balls that had entered the fray, and after marking their location information, he posted it in the local area chat, providing precise coordinates for the assassin players.

"All assassin stream players, follow the coordinates I sent, and assassinate the nearest Plague Ball to you."

"All magic stream players switch to free output, use Eagle-Headed Demon Life Soul to guide the enemies ahead, and avoid injuring assassin stream players who’ve cut into the enemy’s rear."

"The rest of the Stone-Statue Ghost players push forward once more, creating opportunities for the assassins to make their kill, magic defense stream advance one line, and try to cast Light Shields from a distance to protect the assassin players as they strike."
