The Silent Era! Long-tailed Snake Demon!

Various similar situations were appearing all over the Blue Star world.

Countries across the globe fell into the terrifying stage of Barren Wasteland almost simultaneously!

In India…

In a certain village, a group of villagers were kneeling and bowing toward a scrawny Long-armed Demon Monkey BOSS.

"Respected God Hanuman, please protect us…"

The kneeling villagers even shocked the Long-armed Demon Monkey; it reached out to scratch its head, not quite understanding why these human players were bowing to it.

However, it quickly confirmed there was no danger.

Grinning with a bizarre smile, it squeezed its hand, and a series of Dark Magic Orbs exploded upon the villagers, instantly blasting them into a bloody mess!

…

In Mao Xiong Country…

An official guild was slaying monsters within the city and had even found the rift where the monsters originated, but they couldn't stop more monsters from entering reality through the rift!

"This place is already a Fierce Area with a hundred-fold lifespan flow rate!"

"Retreat, retreat! Abandon this area!"

"No, this is my hometown, I will never let the monsters occupy it…"

"Ura!"

…

In Great Xia…

Because of Qin Feng's warning, official departments from top to bottom in Great Xia had already made preparations and response measures in advance.

When the global network was disconnected and power transmissions everywhere encountered problems, the Great Xia Official responded immediately!

Since the specific distribution of 'Fierce Areas' and 'Mild areas' after the Barren Wasteland was uncertain, the Great Xia Official had long ago dispatched personnel to scatter across various regions.

They communicated through in-game friends and private chats via the Communication Crystal Ring.

"Southern Yushan Town is a Mild area!"

"Eastern Jinghai County is a Fierce Area! All personnel evacuate immediately and head to the western region of Jinghai County!"

"The northwest of Baiyun District is a Turbulence Area! Citizens in the north can pass through here to reach the Mild area in the south!"

"…"

Chaos.

Even with Qin Feng's warning and advance preparations, there really wasn't much that could be done in just two short days.

Although Great Xia's overall situation was much better than other countries,

Observing the specific conditions of each region revealed it was still incredibly chaotic.

Under these circumstances, the biggest challenge the officials faced was that communication and information exchange had become far more difficult than before!

In the past, many notifications could be delivered just by sending some messages or texts via the internet or mobile phones.

But now, the internet was gone, and mobile phone signals were gone too.

Communication between people relied entirely on existing guild channels, team channels, and private chats in friend lists.

This meant…

The speed of information dissemination had decreased by an unknown number of times!

In his previous life, this era was directly called the [Silent Era]!

In this era, some traditional information dissemination channels became the primary means of communication again, such as newspapers and magazines…

The difficulty for people to obtain information increased manifold, and the efficiency of obtaining information was much lower.

This kind of Chaos would last at least several days before people could barely adapt.

During this process, countless people died in Fierce Areas and Turbulence Areas; especially the weaker players and those who had given up on themselves became the primary targets for the monsters.

And just after the Barren Wasteland began,

In the sky over North America, the original bright sun completely vanished within a few short minutes, replaced by a hazy, grey sky…

Night turned into grey fog weather, and day turned into grey fog weather.

From then on, Blue Star continued to rotate, and its physical properties were not much different from before, but it had permanently lost day and night.

Internet interrupted.

Electromagnetic signals interrupted.

Even many power transmissions were completely cut off, and various power plants around the world came to a complete standstill…

Fortunately, players had long been accustomed to using the 'god-given book' and quickly adapted to such changes.

As for Qin Feng,

After confirming that his location was indeed a Mild area, he told Zhang Jinxuan and Wan Ye Wei Yu that they would use this place as a base for the time being.

Taking advantage of the Chaos, Qin Feng used the teleportation array of the Evil Spirit Academy within the game, spent over ten years of lifespan, and teleported to… the East Capital Ruins of Sakura Country!

This trip had two purposes.

First, to observe the actions of the 'KEY' guild and confirm the location of the NPC they wanted to invite.

Once that NPC was invited back, Qin Feng could convert the 'old days catastrophe snake tooth' into an item usable in this world.

Second, he needed to pay attention to the 'Statue'.

With Tejima Ichiro's help, that Epic-grade statue would arrive in the real-world East Capital region of Sakura Country and attract many people to come and worship…

Qin Feng had to observe the specific situation.

If something went wrong with Tejima Ichiro, Qin Feng was willing to give a little 'help'.

"I'll find a place to level up first, and gather information while leveling."

Qin Feng was naturally familiar with the language of Sakura Country.

After all, he had dealt with Sakura Country players in his previous life. With the spirit attribute from his past life, the Sakura Country language he learned wouldn't be forgotten even after being reborn.

Moreover, the Barren Wasteland had only just begun.

Qin Feng was in no hurry; neither of the two matters would happen so early.

In the past two days, Qin Feng had already cleared the best leveling spots around Magic Capital, and not many monsters had respawned yet…

He could just wander around East Capital; if there were good leveling spots, he could clear out all the mobs.

This action wouldn't attract the attention of Sakura Country players.

Firstly, the Barren Wasteland had just descended; how could Sakura Country players have the mind to run around everywhere?

Secondly, the leveling spots Qin Feng looked for were all level 30 or above. At this stage, basically no players would go there, and even if they did, they wouldn't realize it was Qin Feng farming mobs.

…

Sakura Country, East Capital Ruins.

The trading area, which was originally bustling with people, now had few players, with only a small number still moving back and forth in groups.

Most players had returned to reality to adapt to the changes brought by the Barren Wasteland.

Many Turbulence and Fierce Areas were no longer habitable.

The vast majority of players had to find 'Mild areas' to live in again.

The situation here in East Capital was somewhat tragic.

Because the busiest area of East Capital had turned into a Fierce Area, resulting in heavy casualties.

Qin Feng rode Osirio into the sky above the East Capital Ruins.

Looking at the scattered East Capital players below, Osirio was very excited: "Human Assassin! I heard Sakura Country has many beautiful teachers! Should we kidnap some back to learn some knowledge?"

Qin Feng had a bit of a headache. Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly froze.

Because he saw something he completely didn't expect to appear in the East Capital Ruins…

It was a statue located in the eastern plaza of the East Capital Ruins, over seven meters tall. It was the image of a long-tailed snake woman holding a halberd, with a curvaceous and highly aesthetic figure.

"Is this that Epic BOSS, the Long-tailed Snake Demon?"

Qin Feng recognized that statue at a glance!

The statue that caused the tragic Death of over a hundred thousand people in East Capital…

It was exactly this thing!

Originally, Qin Feng thought Tejima Ichiro had brought this thing back from the wilderness, but he didn't expect it to be inside the city?!

"I want to see what kind of tricks you snake woman have that can make so many people willingly worship you…"

Qin Feng felt some curiosity.

He had Osirio fly toward the statue of the Long-tailed Snake Demon, ready at any moment to consume divinity to counteract some possible 'Order' effect.

However, at this moment, Osirio laughed loudly: "Human Assassin, so you like the beautiful snake type? But she's a statue, and over seven meters tall, she doesn't match you. Or do you like 'driving a big car'?"

???

Qin Feng sneered: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have Brother Jie from Guanggang deal with you. That muscular warrior's strength growth is doubled, and with his extraordinary Talent, it'll be 'man on man'—can you handle it?"

As soon as these words came out, Osirio immediately shut its mouth, tension appearing in its eerie green eyes.

It immediately began to calculate whether that Brother Jie's strength and control intensity could suppress it.
