The Rock Ghost King was finally provoked after the frequent attacks by the gamers. He then started preparing his army for a battle against the gamers to demonstrate his power.
After obtaining the news, Du Yan who was acting as Lu Wu’s spy headed back to the Mansion of the Dead to pass the information to Lu Wu before he got exposed.
Lu Wu was not surprised by the Rock Ghost King’s plan.
His plan was within Lu Wu’s expectations after he got to know the gamers’ actions.
Cha Na, the Ghost General was no match for the Rock Ghost King in terms of commanding and personal strength. The Rock Ghost King was clearly stronger than Cha Na.
Lu Wu did not intend to confront him with violence at that moment because he believed that the Rock Ghost King wouldn’t dare attack the Mansion of the Dead as he would risk losing his power and his army. After all, the location was disadvantageous for him and Lu Wu believed that the Rock Ghost King was well aware of the pros and cons.
Lu Wu would not fear even if the Rock Ghost King really attacked him.
Since Lu Wu was well-equipped with battle artifacts, he could move all of the important buildings into the inventory if the Mansion of the Dead was destroyed. Also, he would not give the Rock Ghost King any chance for spawn camping by releasing a maintenance notice by that time to get all the gamers offline.
The Rock Ghost King was not planning to go all out as expected by Lu Wu. Instead, his plan was to eliminate some of the gamers by the tactic of suppression while showing off the strength of the North Rocks.
He did not want to take the risk since he had no idea of how strong Beiqi’s new power was.
Hundreds and thousands of gamers were still looking for materials to upgrade their ships at the peripheral area of the North Rocks when a shocking scene occurred right in front of them. The land quaked when green brilliant rays appeared from the deep jungle and covered the whole peripheral area of the North Rocks in the blink of an eye.
Many ordinary trees were getting deformed and distorted before they were uprooted.
Numerous Tree Demons appeared from the surrounding area and gathered together before they started assaulting the gamers along with the Enchanted Trees.
The gamers attacked back when they encountered the countless Enchanted Trees and Tree Demons.
However, this was only the start of the war. More powerful creatures such as Ancient Tree Demons and steel zombies advanced toward the periphery of the Northern Zone once they received orders from the Rock Ghost King.
There were only 30,000 players at the Northern Zone at that time. They were defeated and had to retreat when faced with the enormous troops.
However, the Rock Ghost King was not going to let the gamers off easily. He sneered coldly and five enormous ancient trees floated mid-air beside him before they were smashed toward the gamers from behind. Then, they rooted in the earth and formed a barrier to block all the players.
The Ancient Tree Demons remained unmoved despite the gamers’ attacks. They waved their arms formed from branches and a large number of players were thrown off with each wave.
The gamers only realized that all the Ancient Tree Demons had been surviving for more than ten thousand years and their strengths were almost equivalent to that of the Ghost General after checking their attributes.
With the strong suppression, there was no way for the gamers to escape.
One of them shouted in the forum, “Shouldn’t we at least kill several Tree Demons to get some spiritual materials? We have no way to get out of here anyway.”
The others were stunned for a while upon hearing that. They immediately realized that they had nothing to lose since they were all going to die. They could at least gain something out of this by obtaining some spiritual materials.
Therefore, the gamers who were focused on attacking the Ancient Tree Demons changed their targets to the Enchanted Trees and Tree Demons in front of them.
The Rock Ghost King’s smile froze as he witnessed the scene.
The counterattack from the gamers was beyond his expectation.
The Rock Ghost King got anxious and he could not sit still anymore. He rose into the air to see what was going on more clearly.
His gigantic body which was almost 100 meters in height landed right at the center of the gamers who were preparing to counterattack.
Boom! All the gamers who were situated within 100 meters from the Rock Ghost King collapsed onto the ground due to the massive concussive force.
The presence of the Rock Ghost King was domineering and oppressive.
However, the gamers didn’t show any signs of fear, which was unexpected to the Rock Ghost King. All of them turned around and stared at him with desire. Some of them were even wiping off their drool subconsciously.
[Rock Ghost King]: An ancient giant tree that has been cultivating for over 100,000 years located at the North Rocks. He mastered the highest level for wooden spells and the rules of nature. His cultivation level is in the middle to a Ghost King’s. He could be transformed into a King Level Herb after death.
“How great is this, it’s the legendary King Level Herb. Show your health bar! My ship is hungry for you.”
“Kill him, just kill him! Just leave a small bundle of his wood for me when he’s dead!”
“I can almost see my future estates, yachts, pretty ladies… Get him!”
“It’s the King of Trees. Will my ship become an aircraft carrier if I upgrade it with this?”
“An aircraft carrier? It can even be a spacecraft!”
The gamers were all staring at the Rock Ghost King with craving.
All of them were aware of how valuable a King Level Herb was, even one small wood chip would be precious. Blinded by their desires, they started attacking the Rock Ghost King.
The Rock Ghost King stood motionless despite the siege by the players. All of the attacks were like tickles for him and did not harm him substantively.
However, the Rock Ghost King felt awkward from the gamers’ stares.
Even his subordinates would look at him with dread and revere expressions. Why are these creatures so excited to see me and get this insane? Don’t they know who I am? The Rock Ghost King?
Although he did not understand what they were thinking, their actions provoked him and he was furious.
The Rock Ghost King twisted his stem and his branches started extending crazily. The area around him was being shrouded by countless branches. Many of the gamers were lifted by the branches and were strangled in the air.
That was the moment when the Rock Ghost King demonstrated his valiant strength as the overlord of the Northern Zone.
The gamers launched their attacks again and again. However, they were pointless as their opponent was equipped with enormous potential. All the gamers were wiped out by the Rock Ghost King not long later.
However, the Rock Ghost King was confused once the battle was over.
A Conjurator? A Rune Warrior?
The skills demonstrated by the gamers were all familiar to him. These skills had been diminished from the Land of Beiqi since a long time ago, so why are they emerging again now? The Rock Ghost King had a hunch that something was going on in Beiqi.
