In his observation, An Shui discovered that this Black Tide force was completely different from the ones he had encountered before.

First, there was the troop system used, all composed of Evil Spirit soldiers he had never seen before.

This point, however, was understandable.

According to An Xing's explanation, the Black Tide had countless troop types that could be generated at will.

Each Black Tide force would construct a troop system capable of effectively countering the opponents it faced, even if it couldn't match them in strength, it could still suppress them on a strategic level.

What puzzled him was the combat mode between the Player Clan and the Black Tide Demonic Spirits.

During the battle, both sides continued to exchange verbal attacks, a scene that truly left him dumbfounded.

Violent, evil, devouring, death, destruction... In his memory, the Black Tide was like the life destroyer reigning supreme over all beings, everything in its sight turned to desolation.

Before coming to the Monster World, the war with the Black Tide had left him with a profound sense of powerlessness.

The Black Tide grew stronger with each battle, yet the Dark Race Warriors he led suffered greater losses.

Yet the evil natural disaster he saw engaged in a war of words with the seemingly insignificant Player Clan.

It felt as if a powerful God of Destruction had descended to earth to exchange insults with an ant on the ground, something he simply couldn't comprehend.

The intense sense of disparity made the scene before him feel utterly unreal.

Further watching revealed that this Black Tide force wasn't particularly strong, or rather, it was still in the early stages of development.

Far from reaching the state of the endless Black Tide described by An Xing.

But this did not mean the Black Tide was weak.

Having personally witnessed the rapid growth of the Black Tide from weak to strong, he knew how terrifying the growth potential of the Black Tide was.

For other forces, war meant the consumption of resources.

But the Horror Black Tide grew through war; the stronger their enemy, the faster they grew.

An enemy was essentially nourishment.

So, where did the Player Clan get the courage to provoke the Black Tide?

"Could it be that, like the Black Tide, these are just the Player Clan's new generation at the initial stage of development?"

This thought was verified in the subsequent observing of the battle.

He discovered that it was clearly not the first confrontation between the Player Clan and the Black Tide.

Throughout the skirmishes, they fully understood each other's tactics.

When the Player Clan launched a surprise attack, the Black Tide was prepared; when the Black Tide counterattacked, the players deftly dispersed, maneuvering around.

It was apparent that the Horror Black Tide held the absolute advantage in the battle, while the players seemed to be sacrificing themselves wave after wave.

At that moment, An Shui suddenly felt much more at ease.

After all, if the Player Clan faced the Horror Black Tide so boldly, unafraid of death, then perhaps their contempt towards him was understandable.

With this realization, An Shui felt a significant part of the dark cloud hanging over him dissipate.

His unbalanced mindset found relief through comparison.

It proved that the Player Clan dared to actively provoke even the Horror Black Tide, so why would they fear his future retaliation?

It was no wonder that the players smiled while encouraging him, telling him to grow and await his vengeance.

After mentally analyzing the reasons, An Shui's stereotypical impression of the Player Clan changed.

From viewing them as ugly, greedy, arrogant beings, he now saw them as an evil yet fearless and combative force, akin to the Combat Insect Clan.

Provoking the Black Tide might just be the Player Clan unleashing their pent-up combat desires.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Player Clan, death wasn't the frightening part; the frightening part was being unable to engage in intense battles.

Thinking about his interaction with the Player Clan, a thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

Compared to the cold and ruthless forces like the Black Tide, the Player Clan was a force that could be approached and communicated with, and they bore no malice towards those they deemed weak, even allowing him to leave willingly.

So should he try to engage with the Player Clan, perhaps even seek protection as a subsidiary of the Player Clan?

Leverage a subsidiary force status to seek development, and once he grew, consider if he should break away.

If he could indeed achieve this, it would mean he could smoothly establish a Dark Race Crystal node in this region and enter a growth and expansion mode.

But whether this idea was feasible, he did not know for the time being and needed further observation.

...

Primordial Altar.

Before Qi Sheng floated a map of the Pale Continent.

He marked an area on the map enclosed by an elliptical halo as: Player Corridor (Hunting Bonus Zone).

It was a narrow passageway he created across three Newbie Village regions.

The current exploration level is: 2.852%.

He had already discovered 38 native resource locations, including the Spirit Field left by the Earth-eating Clan.

There were also two Domain Nodes he was trying to occupy.

One of them was the Evil Moon Domain Node soon to be seized.

Once the Earth Thought Evil Spirit had drained its reserve resources, this Rule Domain Node would undoubtedly be successfully reclaimed by the players.

The players' gains during this period were recorded.

One "Blood Light" Spiritual Ore Domain Node was integrated into the Newbie Village space, and subsequently, three Primordial Monsters were successfully reclaimed.

The first Primordial Monster was reclaimed by the novice team in the Frost Winter Snow Region: Star Shifting.

[Star Shifting (Third Generation Primordial)]:

Primordial Trait: Consuming Qi Blood Energy to swap positions with the gazed target, with specific consumption affected by the distance between the user and the target as well as the target's Qi Blood Strength.

This is a basic rule of the Space Department.

The effect leans towards support but can also deliver a surprising attack effect at critical moments.

It is especially suitable for close combat players, allowing them to protect teammates or switch positions to unleash powerful strikes.

There are many Star Vein Combination setups for Star Shifting on the forum, but with limited Star Vein Slots, its priority is not high.
