The number of Entities was far greater than he imagined; in fact, due to the surrounding space, the number of Entities seemed even higher than in Level!.
However, the Entities here were not as aggressive as those in Level!.
Thick dark clouds obscured the bright moon in the sky, plunging the entire Level 73 into complete darkness, so he activated the night vision capability of his Quantum Helmet.
"Oh my god… so many?"
Dense… countless…
Yang Tao couldn't help but gasp at the overwhelming number of Entities. Because of the darkness, the Villagers took out the torches they carried with them.
The flickering firelight illuminated the Villagers and the incredibly filthy-looking ground around them. This light source was like a fuse, and the Entities that could see the light source rushed over as if they had eaten a pack of Mentos.
They charged headlong, and their posture clearly indicated they were ready to devour the Villagers alive.
Boom.
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, piercing the firmament, and its white light illuminated the Entities oblivious to death.
At this moment, thunder roared, and countless lightning bolts formed an electric wall, blocking the Entities' charge.
Seeing this, a Villager pulled a key from his backpack, opened the wooden door, and ran back to the Overworld.
Two minutes later…
Groups of Villagers and Mutated Iron Golems poured through the wooden door.
The Villagers, clad in heavy armor, pulled out M134 rapid-fire machine guns, commonly known as Gatling guns, which emitted a purple glow.
These rapid-fire machine guns had a maximum rate of fire of up to 6,000 rounds per minute. Originally equipped on heavy vehicles, they were later modified for individual combat.
Their power might have been slightly reduced, but 7.62mm ammunition hitting an Entity still made them drop without a sound.
Buzz…
The Gatling gun spewed a fire snake over a meter long, like the flames of Nether.
Entities fell in swathes, like wheat.
Just as Yang Tao was questioning his life, a strange blue light appeared in the hands of several unique Villagers, and blue energy orbs flew out of a peculiar weapon.
Boom… Boom…
Accompanied by violent explosions, the hit Entities were blasted and sent flying everywhere.
"Holy crap! What is this thing?"
Yang Tao walked up to a Villager who was engrossed in shooting and couldn't extricate himself, reached out and patted his shoulder, and asked curiously, "What are you using in your hand?"
The armored Villager turned his head to look at him and said fawningly, "Brave Sir, this is a GPC-A1 Siege Cannon…"
Before Yang Tao could speak, the Villager directly handed the weapon in his hand to Yang Tao.
GPC-A1 Siege Cannon.
Type: Plasma Cannon;
Damage: 800 points
Infinity
Power V
Quick Charge III
Multishot
'Doom used it and said it was good!'
Yang Tao: "…"
A weapon from the Vic's Modern Warfare mod, Yang Tao felt a mix of emotions. He looked at the Villager, dressed like a medieval knight, and then at the GPC-A1 Siege Cannon in his hand.
"Hmm, you help clean up the Entity corpses first. I'll study this weapon…"
Villager: 'Are you even robbing your own people?'
Yang Tao raised the GPC-A1 Siege Cannon in his hand, aimed at the Entities who fearlessly charged, and pulled the trigger.
Three energy cannons flew out in a row.
Boom, boom, boom.
He nodded with satisfaction, then put the GPC-A1 Siege Cannon into his backpack.
These cunning Villagers had good stuff but didn't know to take it out earlier.
His gaze turned to the silver medieval castle in the distance. He had seen this castle from the very beginning of entering the level, but he hadn't observed it closely due to the Entities.
"I'll leave this to you. I'm going to check out the situation at the castle."
Wielding the Yamato, he easily passed through the Entity army and arrived at the castle gate. The Entities, whether out of fear or some limitation, seemed not to see him after he reached the castle gate, turning around one after another and rushing towards the Villagers and Iron Golems.
He looked at the heavy gate.
On the mini-map, he could clearly see someone behind the gate. Out of politeness, Yang Tao reached out and knocked hard on the wooden gate.
Bang, bang…
"Is anyone there? Please open the door!"
The white dot on the mini-map moved, and the heavy gate slowly opened. A human poked his head out, looked at him, reached out, and directly pulled him into the castle, then forcefully closed the gate.
The other person was thirty-four or thirty-five years old with long dark golden hair and a decent mental appearance, without any signs of decadence. After closing the gate, the other person looked him up and down and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you survived."
"Um… May I ask where this is?"
"Silver Castle. Anyway, that's what everyone here calls it."
Besides him, there were two other people nearby, who were clearly responsible for guarding the gate here.
The other two, a man and a woman, were also curiously looking at him at this moment.
"My name is Mike, friend. Where did you come from? Do you want something to eat?"
He refused the food offered to him and said with a smile, "I came from Level 14. It's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Yang Tao."
Hearing that he came from Level 14, the other person's face showed surprise, and he said somewhat exaggeratedly, "I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky."
"To be able to come out of that hellhole, there's only one person in the entire castle who came from that place. Now, counting you, there are two."
Month was bragging again.
It had previously said that no one had escaped its level alive, but in fact, the Blue Knight had escaped alive.
Yang Tao suspected that Month meant no one had escaped when it was awake.
"By the way, what happened outside? I've been here for seven years, and this is the first time I've heard such strange noises outside, and even lightning. It's incredible."
Seven years?
Staying in a castle for seven years and not going crazy?
"A group of external Entities and the Entities of this level started fighting."
His words caused exclamations from several people, and their faces subtly changed as they said, "Damn it…"
Mike's expression was very bad. He had lived here for seven years. Although it was dangerous outside, at least he could survive in the castle.
Now that such a change suddenly occurred, no one knew if this new group of Entities would affect them.
While the few people were thinking about the impact of this matter, Yang Tao was also looking at the interior of the castle.
Behind the gate was a corridor, which was not long, and one could clearly see that inside was a spacious hall and a staircase leading to the upper levels of the castle.
On the walls hung some banners: a silver heart with ram horns on a black field.
Yang Tao didn't know what this banner represented either.
"I'll take you to the resting area first…"
But at this moment, a humanoid creature walked towards them from inside the hall. He looked like a middle-aged man wearing a hood, but his muscles were exceptionally developed.
He was nearly two and a half meters tall, with black hair combed back, and two horn-like protrusions on his head.
