230: Chapter 230 Labor and Capital Shu Road Mountain!
Upon hearing Marshal Li’s words, Wang Qingfeng and the others shuddered, unable to resist exchanging glances.
Marshal Li’s eyes gleamed with the wisdom accumulated over the years and experiences, and he continued, “The Slaughter Dungeon has existed for over a thousand years without any unforeseen changes.”
“If an unusual change has occurred in the Level 60 Slaughter Dungeon, then there is a great possibility that the Level 70 Slaughter Dungeon will be affected as well.”
“Suppose both Slaughter Dungeons experience issues, but the Level 70 Slaughter Dungeon did not see casualties on such a large scale as the Level 60 Slaughter Dungeon.”
“The biggest difference between the two I can think of is the presence of Haotian!”
At this point, Marshal Li paused briefly before continuing, “If my conjecture is correct, then thinking along these lines, what kind of unforeseen change could lead to zero extra casualties in the Level 70 Slaughter Dungeon?”
“I have two guesses: one, casualties caused by the environment; two, a sudden emergence of numerous formidable enemies in the Slaughter Dungeon, leading to casualties due to insufficient combat power of the professionals.”
“Given the current situation, I believe the second possibility is more likely!”
Hearing the teacher’s words, Wang Qingfeng and the others only had to think slightly to guess why Marshal Li came to such a judgment.
Because Li Haotian’s strength primarily lies in attack power, even after he unlocked a War Fortress with defensive capabilities, it still doesn’t provide strong protection against environmental crises.
At the very least, it couldn’t protect all of the remaining two hundred professionals without any casualties.
But if suddenly faced with numerous formidable enemies, that would be different!
Because with Li Haotian’s ability and talent, he fears nothing more than powerful enemies!
He excels at countering attack with attack, and stopping killing with killing!
The more formidable enemies there are, the more ruthless he becomes!
After understanding these things, Wang Qingfeng and the others began to speculate.
Ling Xuehan pondered, “If there truly are suddenly emerging formidable enemies, what could they be?”
Marshal Li shook his head: “That cannot be guessed, for in the past thousand years, such a change has never occurred.”
“If that’s truly the case, we can only wait for Haotian and the others to come out and ask them what happened.”
Wang Qingfeng glanced worriedly at the display screen: “Since there hasn’t been any issue with the Level 70 Slaughter Dungeon up to now, there shouldn’t be any problems going forward either.”
“But what about the Level 60 Slaughter Dungeon?
There’s still a long way to go until the end of the dungeon.
At the current casualty rate, the professionals inside might…”
At this, the expressions of Ling Xuehan and the others became somewhat heavy.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Marshal Li’s eyes, and he said slowly, “We’ll just have to leave it to their fate.”
“If the unforeseen change is indeed the sudden appearance of numerous formidable enemies, then their only hope of survival is to gather all the professionals together and resist collectively.”
“If enough professionals gather and they complement each other and cooperate seamlessly, maybe they can hold out until the end.”
In the Level 60 Slaughter Dungeon, unlike those leisurely watching participants in the Level 70 Dungeon, they were truly starting to fight for their lives!
“Brothers from Beimao, come over here!
Let’s deal with these damned octopuses together!”
“Friends from Saiya Country!
“Are you from Langyi Country?
Come quick, come quick, welcome to join the Octopus Resistance Alliance!”
You’re from East Dragon too?”
Which East Dragon person talks with a kimchi accent?
You think I’m stupid?”
“Sakura Country’s idiots, stay away from us!
Get any closer, and I won’t be polite!”
“Someone from the Freedom Federation approached me!
My third aunt’s cousin’s second uncle was screwed over by people like you, I don’t trust white dogs!”
“I belong to Shu Road Mountain!
Dare to come near again, and I’ll squash you flat!”
Suddenly, the entire Slaughter Dungeon became lively.
Yet, in this chaos, it was distinctly divided into two camps.
Clearly, one camp was naturally those friendly to East Dragon, or small neutral countries in previous international conflicts.
While the other camp consisted of professionals secretly affiliated with the Three Great Empires like the Freedom Federation.
Unfortunately, due to Li Haotian’s ruthless actions in the past International War Dungeon, those professionals from countries affiliated with the Freedom Federation were greatly reduced in number.
Even though they tried to regroup after being shunned by East Dragon and others, the vast map of the Slaughter Dungeon made it hard to consolidate enough strength.
Faced with the overwhelming Octopus army, they continued to perish swiftly.
At this point, those professionals who had once targeted the East Dragon Empire finally felt deep regret.
But now it was all too late.
Because in the past, to deal with the professionals from the East Dragon Empire and other neutral small countries, they had used nearly every trick in the book.
For example, lowering the guards of those professionals through deception and then suddenly launching a deadly assault to eliminate their opponents, was a trick they used countless times!
So that even at a time when unity was crucial to survival, even setting aside past enmities, the professionals from the East Dragon Empire and those neutral small countries dared not trust these ‘teammates’ who could turn hostile at any moment!
As time went on, the professionals involved in the Slaughter Dungeon moved increasingly toward the center of the safe zone.
And with the reduced area, their chances of encountering other professionals increased significantly.
More and more professionals began gathering spontaneously, expanding from small groups of a few individuals to larger formations of dozens or even hundreds.
As the number and variety of professionals increased, their interactions became more refined, and the death rate finally began to decline.
But compared to the East Dragon Empire camp, the professionals inclined toward the Freedom Federation were much fewer in number.
Moreover, many had perished when the unforeseen changes struck, which meant that even as they tried hard to consolidate their forces, their overall combat power was clearly a few levels weaker.
This led to a decreased death rate for them too, but faced with an octopus army outnumbering them many times over, their likelihood of casualties remained significantly higher.
Outside, people worldwide were paying close attention to the situation in the Level 60 Slaughter Dungeon.
As for the Level 70 Slaughter Dungeon involving Li Haotian, since all the professionals from countries unfriendly with East Dragon had been completely wiped out, there hadn’t been any new casualties.
So, gradually, everyone’s attention shifted, no longer fixating on that side.
