SEC Chapter 461 Before Overlap
Chapter 461 Before Overlap
As the group was complaining, someone suddenly exclaimed.
"Look!! In the sky!"
Everyone looked up.
A streak of light flashed across the sky. It moved incredibly fast, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"That's... a person?" Liu Yang's eyes widened.
"It's definitely a player!" Wang Hao stood up. "To fly this fast, they must be at least an S-rank or higher expert!"
Zhao Lin murmured, "He went in the direction of that mountain..."
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed—in the distance, a mountain range shrouded in mist stood majestically.
Liu Yang swallowed.
"That mountain... I heard there's a boss inside."
Everyone fell silent.
Wang Hao whispered, "He's going to fight the boss all by himself?"
No one answered.
But they all knew in their hearts that if that person really was going to fight the BOSS, then the gap between him and them was no longer something that could be measured by level.
Liu Yang suddenly asked, "Who do you think that person is?"
Zhao Lin thought for a moment and said, "There aren't many in the entire Newbie Continent who can be this arrogant in the second round. I think..."
She paused for a moment.
"It might be Boss Lin Tian."
The valley was quiet for a few seconds.
Wang Hao murmured, "Lin Tian... that Lin Tian who instantly wiped out thousands of people in the first round?"
Liu Yang smiled wryly: "If it's him, then it makes sense."
He looked at the mountain in the distance.
"Fighting a boss... we wouldn't even dare to think about that."
Zhao Lin stood up and patted the dirt off her clothes.
"Forget about it. Those kinds of people are from a different world. Let's just focus on grinding. We'll be grateful if we can survive the second round."
Everyone got up and continued walking towards the place where the monsters appeared.
But everyone remembered that streak of light.
And that mountain shrouded in mist.
......
In the distance, the mountain range grew closer and closer.
Lin Tian could already see the faint caves on the mountainside, and the huge black shadows that occasionally swept past the cave entrance.
Those dark figures had wingspans exceeding ten meters; they were elite level 60 Gale Harpy warriors.
"Interesting." A slight smile appeared on his lips.
Celia excitedly clutched his clothes.
"Brother Tian, there's something big here!"
Xiao Bai also opened its eyes, a hint of interest flashing in its golden vertical pupils.
Lin Tian sped up and flew towards the mountainside.
Behind them, the wasteland gradually receded into the distance.
Ahead lies the territory of level 60 elites.
It's even the BOSS's territory.
......
[System Announcement: 30 minutes remaining until the first regional overlap.]
The cold, mechanical system notification sounded in the minds of every survivor in both the Eastern and Western realms.
The players, who were previously developing their characters, simultaneously stopped what they were doing.
A temporary camp in the eastern border region.
Zhang Tianya opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the countdown that was floating in mid-air.
【00:29:58】
【00:29:57】
【00:29:56】
With each tick of the numbers, his heart rate increased.
"It's finally here." He stood up and stretched his limbs.
Zhang Heng ran over from the side, his face filled with barely concealed tension: "Guild Leader, our people have all assembled. There are a total of 123 people from the Eastern Territory, and they are all ready."
Zhang Tianya nodded, his gaze sweeping over the elite members of the battle alliance around him.
Overnight, they had only killed fewer than fifty monsters.
Everyone's equipment showed varying degrees of wear and tear, and their faces bore the marks of fatigue.
But his eyes showed more excitement and nervousness.
"Brothers," Zhang Tianya began, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears, "the first overlap period will begin in 30 minutes. At that time, we will encounter the people of the Western Border. There will be battles, sacrifices, and gains."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over each face.
"I'll just say one thing: protect yourself, follow orders, and don't be greedy. Staying alive is more important than anything else."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhang Heng asked, "President, should we move towards the border first? If we set off now, the timing should be just right."
Just as Zhang Tianya was about to answer, his communicator suddenly rang.
It's Li Weiwei.
[Li Weiwei]: "Where are you?"
Zhang Tianya replied with coordinates.
[Li Weiwei]: "I'm not far from you. The 37 members of Blood Romance will be there soon. Let's go together."
Zhang Tianya's lips curled up in a smile.
"it is good."
He put away his communicator and waved to Zhang Heng: "Wait a moment, Li Weiwei and the others will come over, let's go together."
Zhang Heng's eyes lit up: "Blood Romance is also in the Eastern Territory? That's great!"
In less than ten minutes, a group of figures appeared in the distance.
Leading the way was Li Weiwei, whose blood-red dress stood out starkly against the wasteland.
Behind her followed more than thirty Blood Romance sisters, all female players, well-equipped, and in neat formation.
Zhang Tianya went up to her and gave Li Weiwei a high five.
"Thirty-seven people?" he asked.
Li Weiwei nodded: "Yes. There are still a few sisters in the Western Territory that we can't contact."
Zhang Tianya: "That's normal. We might run into each other during the overlapping period."
Li Weiwei looked into the distance.
At the boundary, a faint light curtain could be seen slowly dissipating.
"Where's Boss Lin Tian?" she suddenly asked.
Zhang Tianya paused for a moment, then laughed.
"you guess."
Li Weiwei rolled her eyes at him: "Stop keeping me in suspense."
Zhang Tianya shrugged: "I really don't know. But yesterday afternoon, we saw him heading towards that mountain to the east."
He pointed to the distant, mist-shrouded mountains.
Li Weiwei looked in the direction he pointed, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"That mountain... I heard there's a boss inside."
Zhang Tianya nodded.
"Yes. Elite monsters above level 60, and possibly even bosses."
Li Weiwei was silent for a few seconds, then spoke softly.
Do you think he could beat them?
Zhang Tianya thought for a moment and then said.
"I don't know about others. But he... I think it's okay."
Li Weiwei looked at him with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"You have that much confidence in him?"
Zhang Tianya smiled.
"Aren't you one too?"
Li Weiwei did not deny it.
The two looked at each other and smiled simultaneously.
Zhang Heng scratched his head, standing to the side, and asked, "President, just how strong is this Lin Tian you're talking about?"
Zhang Tianya glanced at him.
"How strong? Imagine, it takes us more than a dozen people ten minutes to fight a level 50 monster. He does it all in one second."
Zhang Heng was stunned.
One second?
He looked at the mountain in the distance and suddenly felt that something might really be happening there.
......
Western Frontier, Ravens' Camp.
Kenichi Sato stood on the edge of the cliff, also staring at the countdown in mid-air.
