"Blood Moon? Hmph!"
Mark let out a disdainful snort.
"I thought a special event would be tough, but it's nothing special!"
In just a few moments, his score was skyrocketing.
[RANK 1: FREEDOM NATION, SCORE: 23]
[RANK 2: NAGA (KAPIL), SCORE: 16]
[RANK 3...]
So what if Kapil teamed up with the Naga? The boss would still be crushed under his feet!
"That guy from the Indus Kingdom actually sided with a boss?"
Jett's eyes were filled with contempt.
With his name replaced, anyone could guess what had happened.
A boss was also a Mini-Chunk Lord; he had simply abandoned his chunk to join the boss.
It would be understandable if he had joined someone stronger.
But Kapil had actually surrendered to the weakest Naga?
You didn't even need Mark's cooperation for this thing; as long as you were familiar with its attack patterns...
Given some time, a single person with a shield could solo it!
"The Indus Kingdom is too ridiculous!"
"They're embarrassing themselves in front of the whole world, hahaha!"
"I can't imagine how a player could reach such a low point!"
"Using tricks to get second place is nothing compared to our heroes!"
"The Naga isn't even worth a single hair of the Lich!"
"Even the Lich was killed; who can compete with us?"
"It looks like we're firmly in first place!"
Looking at the perspectives of various players.
Only the Indus Kingdom was prepared, but that useless fellow had already been suppressed.
Among the other players, Ronan Mountwell was hiding at home, Oakmoor's efficiency was slow, and Soren Park didn't even dare to fight.
Even the most threatening Nine Provinces!
Look at what Galen Yu was doing.
He was still chipping away at the walls in the labyrinth!
No one else possessed the strength to surpass them!
In the Black House, the Blonde Elder's tense face finally relaxed a little.
"Sir, give us one more day, and we will definitely develop the materials for map making!"
Even though the Intelligence Department was inefficient, the Blonde Elder was not as nervous as he had been a few days ago.
"Understood."
Dismissing the Intelligence Director with a simple sentence, the Blonde Elder reclined in his chair.
It was expensive, soft, and comfortable to recline on, making him feel very relaxed.
"That fool from the Nine Provinces has finally stopped competing with us for resources!"
As the screen switched to Galen Yu, a smile curled on the Blonde Elder's lips.
"That idiot from the Samurai Nation has no idea what he's doing. Luckily..."
"They couldn't seize it, so the opportunity has fallen into our hands!"
With every event, the rewards were closely tied to the difficulty.
The Blood Moon was clearly a very difficult and extremely challenging event!
If they could profit from it, the rewards would undoubtedly be substantial!
The Samurai Nation, which had triggered the crisis, was progressing slowly for various reasons, which actually ended up benefiting them.
As for Galen Yu...
He seemed to be looking for something, but...
No matter how powerful that thing was, it definitely couldn't compare to the rewards from the Block World!
Sitting comfortably in first place without any worries, the Blonde Elder reclined in his chair with his eyes half-closed.
He decided to rest for a while and wait to witness the Blood Moon rewards!
Seeing Galen Yu's indifference.
The Nine Provinces audience was getting anxious.
"Is Great God Galen Yu not participating in this event?"
"What on earth is he looking for? Could it be more important than the Blood Moon!"
"Looking for my foot! I think he's lost and has no idea how to get back!"
"Looking at how anxious Galen Yu is, he definitely wants to go back and participate!"
"I didn't expect the labyrinth blocks to be so hard; even Netherite gear probably can't break them!"
"Go Kapil! Surpass the Freedom Nation!"
"Oakmoor, if you can't win, just take third place and get the rewards!"
"It's all that damn Ronan Mountwell's fault. If it weren't for him, we'd be developing peacefully right now!"
While cheering for their own players, the audience didn't forget to curse Ronan Mountwell.
The zombies were simply too terrifying!
Without sufficient equipment, they couldn't even leave their homes!
If so many zombies hadn't appeared out of nowhere, they would definitely be developing much better now!
While arguing in the bullet chat, the Nine Provinces audience was also worried about Galen Yu.
"How could Great God Galen Yu get lost? You should look at your Soren Park instead!"
"He doesn't even dare to leave his chunk, while Great God Galen Yu has already killed three bosses in a row!"
"Oh, right, right, right. Killed three bosses and now he's lost!"
"How is that possible? Great God Galen Yu clearly made a map before entering the labyrinth!"
"Just because he made a map doesn't mean he won't get lost. Then what is he doing digging through bricks everywhere?"
"Could there be something good inside the walls? How is that possible!"
"Great God Galen Yu must have his own plans, right?"
As they spoke, even the audience members lost some of their confidence.
After searching for so long and finding nothing, it really didn't look like there was anything behind the bricks.
But if he were lost, Galen Yu had found the passage to the first floor earlier and ignored it.
His strange behavior was baffling.
Sky Island.
In a place hidden from the perspectives of all the players.
The Architect, dressed in white, quietly admired the masterpiece before him.
"My brave and invincible King, how can there be such a work of art in this world? You really should come back and see it for yourself!"
His ability was construction, and what he built specifically depended on the owner of the chunk.
Although the Great Wall was built by his own hands, it didn't have much to do with him personally.
More importantly, the blueprints had to be condensed from Galen Yu before he could carry out the specific construction.
To be precise.
He was only responsible for the construction; the blueprint condensed according to the chunk was the key.
Before his mutation, the Architect had built for so many chunks, yet he had never seen such a solemn, beautiful, and majestic building as the Great Wall.
It looked like it was made of cobblestone, but when he reached out to touch it, it felt like encountering thousands of troops and horses.
The earth-shaking sounds of slaughter reached his ears, filling him with excitement!
"Even in its damaged state, just completing a section is this powerful. I can't imagine its complete form!"
The Great Wall was not finished; it was an extremely massive project.
But even in its current state, it was enough to strike fear into people's hearts.
This referred both to its aura and its strength.
"Hmph, hmph."
A Master Armorer villager leaned in and whispered something to the Architect in the villager language.
Looking up, a Blood Moon hung high in the sky.
Monsters weren't spawning on the slabs for the time being, but the Sky Island didn't consist only of slabs.
Beneath the mob grinder, near the water pools, and in certain corners.
In areas that hadn't been renovated in time, some zombies had appeared.
Facing the intruders, the Architect's expression immediately became serious.
"Fellow citizens, they dare to trample upon the King's land! What should we do?"
Hearing the Architect's voice, three Guard Villagers and three Iron Golems walked over and entered a combat state.
Nearby, the Master Armorer went to the workbench and forged for a moment.
He handed a Diamond Chestplate to the Architect.
"That's right, kill them all!"
Putting on the chestplate, the Architect looked more like a general, and he gave the command.
The Guard Villagers raised their crossbows together, fully charged, and fired at the zombies.
The Iron Golems charged to the front, their two strong and powerful arms smashing down hard.
With a boom, area-of-effect damage was triggered.
Even the zombies inside the mob grinder were sent flying and then slammed down hard.
[KILLED CRISIS ZOMBIE, SCORE +1]
[KILLED CRISIS ZOMBIE, SCORE +1]
[KILLED SKELETON, SCORE +1]
While in the middle of a fierce battle summoning zombies, Jett suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Mark, how did we drop to second place?"
He thought the Naga was exerting itself and Kapil was catching up, but when he opened the rankings to look...
Mark exclaimed.
"How is it Galen Yu again?"
