Chapter 263: Chapter 127 Moon Phase Switch_2

But the Gills Fish Clan and the Abyss Fish Clan players did not give up.

For them, the human players giving up is a good thing.

This means that after successfully purifying the Domain Node of the Crystal Palace, they can receive higher ranking rewards, reducing a large group of powerful competitors.

Underwater combat is the domain where the Gills Clan and the Abyss Fish Clan excel the most.

Unlike the inefficient movements of human players when swimming, the Gills Fish Clan and Abyss Fish Clan players are as agile as mermaids underwater and can perform evasions, maneuvering, and a range of detailed operations similar to those of human players in ground combat.

The great battle is still ongoing.

In the dim light, coral reefs and seaweed weave into a complex labyrinth.

Players from the Abyss Fish Clan and the Gills Fish Clan scuttle through the coral thickets, engaging in a chase with the incoming Shadow Scale Shrimp Guards and Shadow Scale Crab Guards.

This is a tactical scheme developed by players from the Abyss Fish Clan and the Gills Fish Clan.

A portion of players lures the underwater creatures guarding the Crystal Palace into the coral thickets to set an ambush there.

Underwater guards, lacking much intelligence, are caught every time, chasing them into the coral thickets, which become advantageous combat terrain for the Gills Fish Clan and Abyss Fish Clan players.

In this narrow space, the massive bodies of the underwater guards find it hard to maneuver, greatly diminishing their lethality.

The war lasted over 2 hours.

After the group of Abyss Fish Clan and Gills Fish Clan players perished in battle, a second wave of attacks was poised to strike.

During this period, players from the two clans worked closely together, attempting to exhaust the underwater guards in front of the Crystal Palace by taking turns.

At this moment, Qi Sheng, who was monitoring the progress of the war, received a guidance message indicating that there has been an abnormal change in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region.

Qi Sheng’s consciousness instantly switched back to the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region.

The Evil Moon in the sky was violently fluctuating, its surface seemed to be covered by a layer of indistinct shroud, and sinister aura permeated everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Qi Sheng immediately realized that the Evil Moon had entered another unstable phase.

At this time, he asked aloud:

"Guidance, can you predict the direction of the moon phase changes this time?"

[Boss, the Evil Moon is currently in a stage of intense energy fluctuation, and it’s temporarily impossible to analyze the result, but based on previous energy fluctuation patterns, it’s highly likely to switch to a waning moon.]

Hearing this, Qi Sheng felt a bit disappointed.

For him, the intensity of the waning moon is just right at the current stage.

The strength of the waning moon is too weak.

If the moon phase switches to a waxing moon or full moon, it would be hard for players to contend with their current strength.

Additionally, under these two moon phases, the strength of the Black Tide controlled by the Earth Thought Evil Spirit would significantly increase.

According to the guidance analysis, the growth nutrients of the Black Tide collected by the Earth Thought Evil Spirit can be sourced in three ways.

Firstly, it absorbs the energy produced by occupied nodes, secondly, it draws energy nutrients from other Black Tide nodes, and finally, it absorbs free floating energy particles in the air.

However, the Black Tide does not absorb elemental particles but rather the Black Tide energy particles released by the Evil Moon.

Thus, different moon phases result in significant differences in the growth speed of the Black Tide.

And after the scene switches, the strength of the derivative evils bred by the Evil Moon will also change significantly.

The strength of derivative evils under the waning moon is in the tens level, with a 5-7 times difference between the strength of those bred by the waning moon and the curse soldiers.

After entering the waxing moon, the increase in strength is also around 5-7 times.

That is to say, a blood corpse of level 10 can generate a large number of derivative evils of more than level 50.

The strength of these evils makes it extremely difficult for players to fight against them, requiring several tens of players with life soul levels over 30 to join forces to attempt to kill a single derivative evil of more than level 50.

If it’s a full moon, the player corps may temporarily abandon the development of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region and shift completely to the Colorful Mist Coast.

Full moon level strength can be likened to a dance of demons.

The derived ordinary evil spirits would be of a world-destroying existence even in small worlds.

In the hundreds of years since entering the Monster World, Qi Sheng has only experienced a full moon scene once.

At that time, the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region had not yet had Evil Spirits, and there were derivative evils everywhere.

One day, the moon phase suddenly switched from a waning moon to a full moon of the fourth intensity phase, and after the scene switch, countless terrifying evils emerged.

Abyss Demons, Void Corrosive Insects, Touch of Fear...with one glance, numerous super evil lives with a hunting level over 100 could be seen.

The overwhelming evil figures ravaged the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region, leaving no life surviving wherever they passed.

During this process, the energy intensity released by the Evil Moon escalated drastically.

As for the ultimate state of the fifth intensity, the "Evil Moon", Qi Sheng has never seen it; only the guidance and three other servants witnessed it during the calamity war.

In this state, the Evil Moon transformed into a blazing black sun.

Everything illuminated by the Evil Moon would become distorted, and every derived evil is of catastrophe-level strength.

Based on the guidance’s analysis and judgment, the Evil Moon itself is a world-level rule.

And it is a super rule not weaker than the supreme rules of the Monster World, capable of worsening the scenario within its illuminated range to form corrosion cores and derivative evils, providing ample growth energy for the Black Tide.

The act of switching moon phases can be understood as a process of Evil Moon energy circulation.

It shifts the existing scene to a new scene and then moves a new scene altogether.

For example, the Evil Moon scene at the far end of the Colorful Mist Coast switches to cover the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region, while the Evil Moon scene in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region switches to cover other Evil Moon scenes, but during this process, everything belonging to the Monster World doesn’t change.
