Chapter 420: Chapter 156: Black Tide Easter Egg, Springwater Appears (Part 3)

This battle must be sustained, continuously attracting more players to join, so it can use players to kill Evil Spirits while secretly stealing energy resources.

"Earth Thought, there are quite a few members of the Player Clan attacking this time, maybe try a new combat strategy." Evil Eye suggested at this moment.

Upon hearing this, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit immediately nodded and began generating a new army system.

According to the combat data provided by Evil Eye, he discovered that the Player Clan has a trait, they’re not absolutely united internally.

Especially during battles against the Evil Armor Clan, they often grab resources that the clan warriors drop on the ground.

This means that all players have an uncontrollable desire and pursuit for ’Spiritual Treasures’, even if it may lead to their own death or affect other fellow players.

This gave him the idea for a new tactic, by offering Spiritual Treasures to disrupt the unity of the Player Corps.

Whether this approach will work, he is still uncertain and needs to conduct practical tests.

Under the control of Earth Thought Evil Spirit, the Sha Ying Series unit was born.

Its form was elusive, like an inky black mist swirling in the wind, surrounded by dark purple aura, with a ghostly sense of voidness to its body.

The Black Tide Energy gathered, forming an ink-black energy crystal which then hovered in front of the Ghost Soul.

In the control of Earth Thought Evil Spirit, the Ghost Soul took the energy crystal and headed toward the gathering direction of the Player Clan.

With ghostly speed, it swiftly appeared above the player army, plunging directly into the densest area of players.

The sudden attack startled nearby players, who quickly looked up.

Instantly, the analysis information of the ghostly Evil Spirit appeared in their minds and was shared in the regional voice channel.

[Black Tide · Ghost Soul]:

Hunting Level: 57

Target Analysis: A Black Tide Sha Ying Series unit, possessing a special life structure that gives partial immunity to physical damage, high moving speed, equipped with Soul Implanting Ability; parasitized beings will continually suffer from various negative statuses and suffer continuous Black Tide Energy Corrosion damage.

The players’ attention quickly shifted from the Ghost Soul to the black glowing stone in its hand.

With analysis ability activated, related information about the stone emerged.

[Black Tide Energy Crystal]:

Item Analysis: A compressed crystal stone formed by Black Tide Energy, a test piece in the combat plan of Earth Thought Evil Spirit, exchanging for 9877 sacrificial power after offering to Emperor Zhao.

...

Seeing the analysis information, players were dumbfounded.

The analysis information practically laid out all of Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s calculations.

This was the means Earth Thought Evil Spirit was using to fight.

The voice channel exploded:

"Damn it, is this Earth Thought Evil Spirit dropping treasure boxes for us to grab? How can they use such a vile tactic... but I want it so much, what do I do?"

"They say beauties are hard to resist, I disagree, but Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s ’Wealth Lure’ I can’t resist at all, forget it, I’ll grab it first!"

"Everyone listen to me, don’t fall for Earth Thought Bully’s vile plot, let me check this energy crystal for you, it doesn’t matter if I die, sacrificing myself for my brothers is what I should do."

"Seriously, you’re all saying not to fall for it, yet you’re all crazily pushing forward, your greed is written all over your faces."

"Indeed, Earth Thought Bully’s strategy comes right at us players, but we still can’t resist, it’s too ruthless."

The concept of ten thousand sacrificial power is very clear to players.

The store shopping, pet training, Body Refining Level upgrade, Star Vein Level upgrade, Armed Vehicles crafting... there are so many places to spend sacrificial power.

If one can get this ten thousand sacrificial power, it would surely lead to a period of prosperity.

As the Ghost Soul swooped over players’ heads, nearby players decisively launched a chase, causing the previously advancing corps formation to become chaotic.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit didn’t mind losing this energy crystal, allowing the Ghost Soul to circle once before throwing it straight into the densely packed area of players.

Instantly, in the panorama from above, players appeared like goldfish in a pond scrambling for food, converging towards where the energy crystal was.

The preliminary test results left the Earth Thought Evil Spirit in the rear highly satisfied.

He didn’t understand the erratic thinking logic of the players, but he knew it was enough to have a weakness of the players he could exploit.

In an instant, he once again condensed five Ghost Souls, each carrying a Black Tide Energy Crystal flying towards the player corps.

By using treasures as a lure to interfere with the direction of the player corps, achieving the purpose of deep control over the course of war.

The fact proved, this method’s effect was far better than he had anticipated.

Successfully tested multiple times, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

Players had similar thoughts as the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

The tactics of Earth Thought Evil Spirit reminded players of many easter egg monsters existing in games, also known as treasure monsters.

Defeating such monsters usually could result in resources and game currency far exceeding those produced by normal monsters, or special equipment.

Such monsters in other games are definitely targets of player contention.

This time is no exception, players were all attracted by special monsters carrying treasures, aiming for a wave of wealth.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit felt like he had gained, mastering another combat strategy against the Player Clan.

Players also felt they had gained, as the Black Tide surprisingly started to produce wealth chests in the conflict.

Even the appearance of treasure monsters made players feel like the battles in the Evil Moon Domain became more interesting, filled with anticipation for the occasionally refreshing treasure monsters, thinking they might drop on them at any moment.
