Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1145 - 306: Three-Way Frustration, No Winners

Hmm?

The performance of the Purple-skinned Evil Demon made the Earth Thought Evil Spirit frown.

On the other side.

Jile Palace.

The Lord of Jile was seated on the altar, and the anxious voice of Xie Mu sounded in his ears:

"My Lord, something terrible has happened, the Black Tide is attacking!"

The Lord of Jile, who was feeling joyful about recently capturing a batch of powerful creatures, heard these words, and the smile in his eyes vanished as he suddenly lifted his head.

He knew that Xie Mu was currently at the Frosty Winter Snowfield troop experiment base.

In the next second, his consciousness instantly shifted there.

When he saw the Black Tide surging towards the Frost Winter Snow Region, the Lord of Jile felt a heaviness in his heart.

The scenario he most dreaded had occurred.

The power of the Black Tide had already infiltrated the Frost Winter Snow Region, indicating that this area was no longer safe.

"My Lord, do you need me to intervene?"

Xie Mu asked again.

Facing the overwhelming pressure of the Black Tide's onslaught, the Lord of Jile decisively responded:

"Dismantle any resources we can take and retreat!"

With his knowledge of the Black Tide, this branch of the Black Tide was not very strong, and he was fully capable of dealing with it.

But to play it safe, he still chose to let go.

This had always been his developmental style.

Standing firm since the Catastrophe Battle, he relied on absolute caution.

This was also the core reason he never wanted to expand in the Monster World, choosing to hide and develop within the Jile Hall.

Although the Jile Sub-Palace built in the Monster World was often destroyed by outsiders,

it did not affect his development.

Once destroyed, he could find a new area to establish another, stabilizing the accumulation of Extreme Joy Energy.

There was no need to stubbornly fight with any forces.

Because what might seem like a weak force could have a lurking threat waiting behind.

Revenge might feel satisfying momentarily, but falling into a trap set by a Strong Clan would be devastating.

He deeply understood one principle: survival is never a hymn of courage, but a practice of patience; reckless brutes would not survive long.

In his long memory, he had seen too many Overlord-level influences.

They advanced triumphantly in Monster World, their legions invincible, yet now all have become corpses buried deep beneath Monster World.

The more intense the start, the more spectacular the destruction when civilization met its end.

To survive in the fearsome battlefield of Monster World, one must learn to bow down and let go of interests at the right time.

Anger, pride, and dignity are true luxuries that only truly Strong Clans indulge in.

Those clans lacking foundational strength yet trying to emulate top-level emotions like Strong Clans are destined for demise.

To survive until today, he only calculated profit and risk.

Even a 1% risk of annihilation would not justify participation in the battle.

This is the survival code of the Monster World.

Such behavior may seem cowardly, but the Lord of Jile never cared.

The clans insisting on pride and dignity had long been obliterated in the river of time, while his "Jile Chain Palace" kept steadily growing in the Monster World, with resource output increasing daily.

He had seen too many "sure-win battles" in the eyes of clans reverse in the last moment, eventually leading to annihilation.

Thus, true survival wisdom is: always leave oneself a retreat.

Moreover, the incoming threat was one of the Peak-level influences of Monster World in his eyes—the Black Tide.

Even if it was just a small branch, it was connected to the main node where the Black Tide King resided, and who knew if the King would descend the next second.

To be safe, retreat was the most correct choice.

For him, victory wasn't judged by the outcome of a particular battle, but by ensuring he always stood on the board of the next era.

Catastrophe Battle, Black Tide Doomsday War, the rise of new forces (Reverse Tide, Nu E, and others)… the era steadily progressed, ushering in the current age of "billions of races competing for the peak."

Not falling behind was victory, survival was hope.

The Jile Army's system had not yet been fully established, and it was not time yet for him to step onto the Monster World stage.

As for the quick retreat, he was an expert in this area.

Having frequently experienced raids on the Jile Sub-Palace by outsiders, he spent years researching how to shut down quickly with minimum loss,

With clear ideas, the thoughts of the Lord of Jile instantly led to the disbanding of the Jile Army on the Frost Winter Snowfield.

Jile Evil Spirits in the midst of a charge crumbled like grains of sand, purple energy streams leaked from their bodies, condensing into fine threads in the air and flowing back towards the Tower.

The shells of the Jile Insect Clan shed layer by layer, revealing the surging purple light within, as they silently lay on the ground, letting their bodies transform back into pure energy to return to the mother hive.

The Purple Tide Tower also collapsed at this time.

The spire piercing the sky disintegrated layer by layer like melting ice crystals, the runes flowing along the tower body extinguishing one after another.

The energy conduits entrenched at the base squirmed and contracted like living creatures, extracting the last traces of energy.

The purple spiritual conduction light screen that originally enveloped the entire battlefield also rapidly contracted inward.

The mother hive of the Jile Insect Clan emitted a low hum.

Its massive fleshy structure quickly dehydrated and shriveled, the nutrient liquid in the hatchery pools reverse-flowed back to the Jile Main Hall.

The yet-to-hatch insect eggs burst one after another, the released energy decomposed into the most basic units of Extreme Joy Energy, retreating like a receding tide, reclaiming all the life force.

The whole process was very efficient, the Jile Army bid farewell to the Frost Winter Snowfield in a short time as if they had never existed.

Meanwhile, under the Earth Thought Evil Spirit's wide-eyed gaze.

The Purple-skinned Evil Demon, whose combat power was clearly stronger than the Demon Seed, also disappeared from his perception.

Earth Thought: ...

The war intent that had just risen in his heart had not yet dissipated, yet suddenly he felt the frustration of having punched into the air.

"Earth Thought, this is the might of the Black Tide, tell me if it's impressive." The voice of the Evil Eye echoed in his mind.

"Impressive, my big eye." Earth Thought glared viciously at the Evil Eye and continued:

"Stop using player quotes, how many times have I told you."

"Understood." The Evil Eye nodded solemnly, showing a posture of humble acceptance.

Turning his gaze back to the Frost Winter Snowfield battlefield, the gloom in the heart of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit deepened.

He had hoped for a satisfying battle, but did not expect the opponent to retreat without a fight, leaving the borrowed Black Tide Energy with no room for use.

But the advance of the Black Tide continued, pressing further on the battlefield.

The remaining Player Clan, naturally, wouldn't be spared; all must be slain.

On the other side.

Similar to the Earth Thought Bully's feelings, the Lord of Jile, who was retreating from the scene, was also feeling frustrated.

Although he chose to flee, there was still considerable loss in resource retrieval and conversion, and he felt a sting of pain over it.

Now, it seemed the Frost Winter Snow Region was no longer a viable place to stay, and he would have to find a new scene to settle and continue building the unfinished army system.

...

Just as both the Earth Thought Evil Spirit and the Lord of Jile felt frustrated about the situation.

A post appeared on the Player Forum, and its popularity was rapidly soaring.

[No, where did the Newbie Village go? I just logged in, a bit confused, and it was just during the time I logged off to change some nutrient liquid. When I logged back in, the scene looked odd, almost thought I'd crossed over to the neighboring Emperor Tomb Mountain Range. Why has the Black Tide Army come to visit our place, and... where did my rookie training base go, along with the Jile Evil Spirit and Jile Insect Tide?]
