NPC Clan! Youlan Mermaid Clan!

When Qin Feng's shadowy black face approached the crystal ball, the entire interior of the ball instantly turned into a chaotic mess.

Dozens of mermaids, each the size of a fingernail, scurried about wildly inside the palace.

But soon, perhaps emboldened by the crystal ball's outer shell, they gradually calmed down. One by one, they hid behind the pillars of the palace, cautiously poking out their delicate little heads. Pairs of watery blue eyes stared intently at the shadowy black face of Qin Feng outside…

"They really are NPCs?"

"And an NPC Clan?"

Qin Feng moved closer, observing face-to-face, and was immediately somewhat shocked.

Inside this crystal ball, a total of thirty-three tiny mermaids formed a mermaid clan, collectively constituting an NPC Clan!

A so-called NPC Clan consists of multiple NPCs. If subdued by a guild, the entire NPC Clan only occupies one NPC slot, but the functions of the multiple NPCs within the clan would be varied.

They are NPCs with an extremely high cost-performance ratio!

Not to mention, there were actually thirty-three of them in total!

"I just don't know what functions these NPCs have?"

"What conditions are needed to take them back?"

Qin Feng decided to try it himself first.

If that didn't work, he could only spend 400 points of divinity (6000 years of lifespan) from the White Sprout Blade to view the memories of one of the mermaids.

Thus, Qin Feng first retreated from this patch of coral reef.

He canceled the Shadow Incarnation state.

Carefully, he began dismantling that patch of coral reef.

The mermaid palace crystal ball was surrounded layer upon layer by coral reef. Without dismantling the coral, Qin Feng couldn't possibly reach the crystal ball…

However, just as Qin Feng began dismantling the coral reef…

His Original Shadow Perception told him that in the surrounding deep-sea floor, a surge of undercurrents began to stir. Groups of deep-sea demonic creatures seemed to be gathering, rushing tumultuously towards this location!

"Oh?"

"Are these summoned by those mermaids?"

Qin Feng was a bit surprised.

Those deep-sea demonic creatures all gathered menacingly, surging wildly from all directions!

If it were an ordinary player, they truly wouldn't withstand such a terrifying assault of demonic creatures. Because, all the deep-sea demonic creatures within a radius of hundreds of miles were gathered here, among them even some Platinum and Emerald-grade BOSSes!

Qin Feng could clearly sense that the destination of the gathered, charging demonic creatures was precisely this patch of coral reef where he stood.

"Interesting."

"In that case, won't my leveling speed skyrocket?"

Qin Feng laughed.

He continued dismantling the coral reef. Just as he had almost dismantled it, about to expose that crystal ball…

The surrounding deep-sea demonic creatures finally arrived!

Killing Shadow!

Shadow Blade!

Qin Feng released five Shadow Clones, continuously throwing out intangible Shadow Blades towards the surroundings.

One after another, Shadow Blades ricocheted through the deep sea. Groups of deep-sea demonic creatures were hit by infinite ricochets. Facing the terrifying damage of the Shadow Blades, these common demonic creatures died instantly upon contact!

Layers of demonic creature corpses sank to the bottom of the deep sea. Not a single demonic creature could get within fifty meters of Qin Feng.

Some high-level BOSS-type demonic creatures possessed attack ranges exceeding 100 meters.

But unfortunately, all attacks launched at Qin Feng from beyond one hundred meters were completely ineffective!

Moreover, attacks launched at Qin Feng from behind were equally ineffective!

"Under normal circumstances, if I curled into a ball with my back facing outwards, I'd be completely invincible…"

Qin Feng felt like laughing, but of course, he didn't need to do that.

After all, these deep-sea demonic creatures all fell into the category of small fry…

Even Platinum and Emerald-grade BOSSes were no different from small fry in Qin Feng's eyes.

They could all be solved with one Shadow Blade.

"However, this scale of demonic creature assault would truly be a difficult problem for ordinary players."

Qin Feng couldn't help but think.

With this level of offensive, endless waves of demonic creatures, even a standard 60-player team would struggle to withstand it, even if it were a team of level 30 players!

Just as Qin Feng was happily farming the demonic creatures…

Suddenly, from the about-to-be-exposed mermaid crystal ball, a wave of pale blue water erupted, spreading outwards…

After being touched by the pale blue water wave, Qin Feng's 'Invulnerability' affix was immediately reduced by over two hundred points!

"I wonder what negative status it blocked?"

"Probably a negative status that reduces my combat power…"

"Too bad it's ineffective against me."

Qin Feng's over-thousand-point Invulnerability affix came into play.

At the same time, the surrounding demonic creatures affected by the pale blue water wave all entered a kind of frenzied state. All their attributes were enhanced, and their attacks were now imbued with various Upper Affixes!

Some long-range attackers like spitting turtles, water snakes, electric eels, etc., burrowed to positions 50-100 meters from Qin Feng and launched extremely dense long-range attacks towards the area where Qin Feng was.

Although they didn't know Qin Feng's precise location.

But since Qin Feng was still dismantling the coral reef, they just needed to launch their skills at that general area!

"These Upper Affixes really have everything!"

Qin Feng immediately adjusted his Superior Resistance. Apart from the immune Instant Death and Nightmare Affixes, he distributed his Superior Resistance evenly.

Combined with his current 98.49% Upper Affix stacking slowdown and the old days catastrophe snake tooth, he completely ignored the Upper Affixes on the surrounding attacks!

At the same time, one Shadow Blade after another flew out continuously!

Slaughtering groups of the increasingly gathering deep-sea demonic creatures!

"This experience is way too satisfying!"

Qin Feng discovered that if he cleared out this entire wave of demonic creatures, he would almost exactly reach level 40!

The experience granted by this single wave of demonic creatures would have taken Qin Feng two or three hours to farm before!

"I really have to thank these mermaids!"

Qin Feng continued his rampant slaughter of the surrounding deep-sea demonic creatures!

Until half an hour later, the corpses of demonic creatures on the seafloor had piled up in who knows how many layers. All the demonic creatures within a radius of hundreds of miles had been completely cleared out by Qin Feng!

"Time to loot first!"

With so many demonic creature corpses, Qin Feng wasn't about to waste them.

In fact, while killing, Qin Feng had already been using 'Greedy Hand' and 'Flower Opening Curse' simultaneously, absorbing more lifespan from these demonic creature corpses.

Due to the sheer number of demonic creatures, Qin Feng was incredibly busy, hardly taking a break for the entire half hour.

One could say he was busy but happy!

Watching his experience and evolution points increase bit by bit felt indescribably comfortable.

Finally, when all the surrounding demonic creatures were slain…

Qin Feng canceled his stealth state. This time, he didn't use Shadow Incarnation either. He walked openly and uprightly to stand before the mermaid crystal ball.

He found that the group of mermaids were all trembling.
