Chapter 437 The Counterattack Begins
"Did you actually leave..."
Somewhere in the west of the city, the seer who fused his feet into the earth suddenly spoke.
"Who are you referring to as leaving?" The Bloodthirsty Demon asked from the side, "Is it the derivative?"
"No..." the penitent's voice sounded directly into his mind, "He is talking about the leader of all demons."
"Oh? What's going on?" A look of doubt appeared on the bloodthirsty demon's terrifying face, and he continued, "As far as I know... As long as the leader of the demons personally conquers it, there has never been one. He came back empty-handed." He paused and his expression changed slightly, "I saw him at close range not long ago... I don't think he will lose to anyone..."
"Watch your words, bloodthirsty demon." The huge skull head (or should I say body?) of the Soul Snatcher turned around. It looked directly at the opponent with its empty eyes and said, "Don't forget that my king entrusted you to Our mission...and...your identity."
The confessor continued: "As the Nine Leaders of the Undead, you should not be afraid of any existence other than my king." She turned her face slightly and looked at the bloodthirsty demon, "This... you should learn from your example. Brothers……"

The bloodthirsty demon's brother is the exiled demon who looks like a bunch of muscles, with compound eyes and a bloody mouth. In terms of personality, the older brother, the Bloodthirsty Demon, is a greedy, insidious, bully, and strong-willed guy; while the younger brother, the Exile Demon, is much simpler than his older brother. Like most script bosses in Thriller Paradise, he is averagely intelligent and ferocious. Cruel, fearless, and relentless.
"Hmph...it's not your turn to teach me a lesson." The Bloodthirsty Demon responded unhappily. It raised its third right arm and showed its claws, "If you want to teach me a lesson, it's too early..."
call--
A powerful shadow passed in front of the bloodthirsty demon, interrupting its words.
"Don't say a few words." War Spirit unfolded the dragon wings on his left back and stopped the dispute between the two comrades. "It will distract the clairvoyant."
"Tch..." Hearing this, the bloodthirsty demon shrugged its three pairs of shoulders angrily and swam away with the snake's belly.
At this time, the five leaders of the nine leaders of the undead: Soul Snatcher, War Spirit, Bloodthirsty Demon, Penitent and Insight, reunited in one place. Their plan to clear the city has been canceled because there is nothing left to clear...
After the leader of the demons arrived, he forcibly gathered the dark energy in the entire space. In his battle with Root, he consumed 90% of this power. This caused the mutated monsters in the city to die of exhaustion.
Now, the remaining living creatures in this city, apart from players and derivatives, are powerful people from all walks of life who are on the same level as the Nine Chiefs of the Undead. Under this situation, it would obviously be disadvantageous to act alone, so at this moment the Insight is using its ability to explore the situation in the city, trying to find and recall the remaining Sigui.
Of course, Tokikan and the jurors, who are AIs of the same level, also adopted similar strategies. It's just that the losses on their side were relatively heavy, especially Tokikan, at least four of them had been killed...
…………
On the other hand, after the initial brawl and the subsequent sniping attacks by Origin's hundreds of derivatives... the number of players has been reduced by more than half. Among the remaining survivors, there are many injured, disabled, and half-dead people. Not many are really close to full status...
Fortunately... the people who survived have gradually understood the changes taking place in the script.
With the efforts of the four people, namely the Sky Swallowing Ghost Xiao, Shiva, the Corpse Sword King and the Good-for-nothing Uncle, the survivors were broken into pieces and reorganized one after another. There are also a few players who have not been found by them. They have also escaped from the predicament with the help of the derivatives of Z organization and understood the situation.
The counterattack against origin... has quietly begun.
However...analyzing the current battle situation from a God's perspective, the strength comparison between players and derivatives is still quite disparate...
It can be seen from the battle of "I'm Not Afraid" that even a strong opponent like her can only deal with two third-level derivatives at the same time. If he were a player of Honghu's level, he would probably only be able to deal with one person, and he would definitely be defeated quickly in one against two.
At this time, the significance of the "combat effectiveness ranking" can be seen. When dealing with derivatives, there are no specialization or equipment suppression factors. In the final analysis... people with higher rankings have more solutions than those with lower rankings.
But... there are exceptions, such as Shiva, Uncle Good-for-nothing, and players with really hard-to-name names. As long as conditions permit, they can even kill third-level derivatives instantly.
Overall, if one excludes Lute and j1-Kuaido, the two highest combat powers, then... both sides do have a fighting chance.
…………
"I never thought that such a day would come..." Zui Wo said sadly, "I actually got together with the Corpse Sword people..." He walked with a rather leisurely gait.
Leading the way before him is Sashimi and Corpse Knife.
The Corpse Sword King turned his head sideways and glanced at the other party: "I don't want to cooperate with people from your order unless I have to."
"Ha... okay." Zui Wo's sad tone still contained a hint of contempt.
The Corpse Sword King didn't say much because he was already used to this kind of treatment. Except for some small studios that are not popular or equally dirty, most players from first- and second-tier game studios have a hostile and contemptuous attitude towards the people of Corpse Knife Studio.
The world is actually very fair. Maybe some people or organizations can use unfair means to achieve success. But in the end, while they gained something, they also lost something.
"We are very close." After walking for a while, Corpse Sword King stopped and lowered his voice and said, "Just find a place nearby to hide, and wait for other players to arrive, and then meet them."
"That space rift is still quite far away... Is it too early to stop here?" Sashimi asked, looking at the blasting tunnel in the sky in the distance.
"It's best not to take risks..." Corpse Sword Weiwang said, "When I found you, the four derivatives you two were dealing with were just random soldiers. The really powerful ones..."
Ding--
There was a flash of cold light and a crisp sound.
The King of Corpse Swordsman did not finish his words, because he had noticed the sudden attack, so he hurriedly turned around to avoid it.
But then, a triangular metal blade came through the wind and struck directly at the corpse knife king's back.
It's too late, it's faster than that! At the moment when Corpse Sword King Kankan twisted his body to activate, Zui Woxuanran had already dodged to his side and rear, and caught the flying metal blade with two fingers. The "ding" sound was the sound of the blade coming into contact with his fingers.
Looking carefully, Zui Wo's sad hands turned into a pair of iron hands, and the surface of his skin exuded a bright luster.
"No need to thank me." Zui Wo waved his hand sadly and threw the metal blade to the ground.
"Tch... I didn't need your help in the first place." Corpse Sword Weiwang, who had already stepped aside, replied.
While he was speaking, seven or eight derivatives had already walked out of the surrounding dark alleys and street corners and entered the sight of the three of them.
"It seems that my detection ability is ineffective against them." Sashimi continued, "These guys don't even have a heartbeat or pulse. As long as they stand still behind some kind of bunker, I can't 'listen' arrive……"
"Anything like that is fine." Corpse Sword Weiwang said, "This situation... doesn't require any investigative capabilities..." (To be continued.
