TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 250: The Crystal Creature Tide

Clang !!! Crack !!! Clang !!!! Crack !!

Pang !!!! Pang !!!!

Loud sounds of metal colliding with something hard and something breaking are heard. The sounds seem to be some stone being broken.

At the same time, the sounds of metal being beaten are also heard.

Looking more closely, we can see two people dressed in light steel armor while holding swords, a rapier, and a short sword with a small shield.

These two people were Aruna and Maev.

The two women were defending themselves against attacks by the crystal creatures.

Liu Yang was right behind them and used a pickaxe to break the walls and the floor in search of crystals.

"Do you need help?" Liu Yang asked the two women. They had already been working for a few hours.

Liu Yang's strength is enough to break the rocks easily. Like crystal creatures, mine stones are extremely hard and difficult to break. But it is not as hard as the bodies of crystal creatures.

A person of level 51 had chances to break the stones, but he needs to strike about ten times. This made the job very tiring, tedious, and hard.

As many levels 51 miners try their luck in the mine, many of them have a hard time digging something valuable.

"Garett, we are fine. You can keep working." Aruna replied. She and Maev have been doing this for a few hours.

Fortunately, Liu Yang took turns with them when they rested. He was struggling while the two women slept or relaxed a little.

"OK. I will do this for another hour, after that, you two can rest again. " Liu Yang hit the pickaxe hard on the ground to break the stones faster.

The blow was so strong that the pickaxe was stuck on the floor or the wall.

Pang !!! Pang !!! Pang !!!

Liu Yang was focused on doing his job while women do their job.

Some minutes later

"Garett !!!!!! We are in trouble !!!!" Aruna and Maev shout at the same time.

Her tones were of fear and despair.

The image before them was frightening.

"What happened ..." Liu Yang turned quickly to see what was going on.

But when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't finish speaking before he was shocked and scared.

"..." The trio was silent for a few moments because of the shock caused by the scene.

"Do you know what's going on?" Liu Yang was the first to recover.

As someone who was already used to this type of scene, he was quicker to get back to normal.

"Garett, someone must have drawn these crystal creatures towards us!!" Aruna commented. She doesn't know if her thinking is true or not.

"This is weird. I can't see anyone drawing the crystal creatures towards us. I don't think it's a person attracting the crystal creatures here. That must be something else." Liu Yang looked closely at a gigantic group of crystal creatures hundreds of meters away from the trio.

What shocked everyone before a giant horde of several thousands of crystal creatures suddenly appeared on the horizon.

"Garett, I think this is called the Crystal Creatures Tide" Maev remembered something and commented.

"The Crystal Creatures Tide? What is it?" Liu Yang recalls that Pargi commented that on certain days of the month or year, a large number of crystal creatures attack those who invade the mine, that is, anyone who entered the mine.

The duration of the attack is one week. When the week is over, the crystal creatures will go somewhere in the mine and disappear as if they didn't exist. This is one of the great mysteries that echo through the mines.

All cities have tried to find out what this phenomenon is, but have never found answers to their questions.

"Garett, you must know that inside the mine, the Curse of the Night does not exist, right? Inside, there are no cursed creatures, unless someone brings these creatures here." Maev said.

"Yes. Pargi told me about it before. Is this related to this tide?"

"Nobody knows, this is just speculation. Since there is no Curse of the Night inside the mine, it makes things a little unbalanced. Because people can choose to live inside the mines, as it is a little safer. So, the tide exists to balance things. "

"But isn't that speculation?"

"Yes. It is just speculation. No one knows the real reason for the invasion to happen, but the speculation makes a little sense. As there is no Curse of the Night inside the mine, the mine has something else that brings balance."

"Ohh I see But isn't this tide random? How can people prepare for this?" Liu Yang asked this because he doesn't know about it.

Pargi and Aruna also had no information on this subject. Both were young and did not have access to this type of information.

"This is difficult to say, but I think there must be signs that the tide is going to happen. But we don't have enough authority to find out about it. That guy called Pargi is in the same situation, but I think his family in the city must know"

"I see Can you two protect yourself? I will try to keep you both safe" Liu Yang was ready to test his body in a great intense and tiring combat.

Fighting rank 10 creatures at level 152 is an extremely insane thing to do. Besides, his titles will not work on the spot, as the crystal creatures are none of the five types of creatures in the titles, zombie, wild beast, sea beast, desert beast, and demon.

The only ability that Liu Yang had was to reduce the status of anything in the conqueror's title. The twenty percent attribute reduction will be crucial for Liu Yang to last longer in the fight against thousands of crystal creatures.

"What??!!!! Garett, are you crazy ?? !! Will you fight all these creatures ??? There are at least a few thousand. This is suicide!!" Aruna shouted in alarm. Maev also stayed after hearing Liu Yang's crazy idea.

Facing thousands of crystal creatures at the same time is suicidal.

"I am not crazy. You will see it. This is a great opportunity to level. Besides, I have to attract a group of idiots who are spying on us." Liu Yang was excited to fight with all his power again. His last words were spoken in a low voice to prevent anyone from listening.

The experience received from defeating the crystal creatures was not much, but the amount of creature pays off. Besides, the difference between the levels was large.

Adding to the fact that he still has to share the experience with women and beasts, his leveling will be much more difficult and insane than normal.

The women saw how excited Liu Yang was from his expressions, so they didn't try to persuade him. 

"Garett, do you have any barriers to keep us safe? Neither Maev nor I can last long if we are surrounded by crystal creatures"

"You just need to hide in that hole" Liu Yang started to punch the wall quickly with all his strength. He didn't have much time.
