“F*ck! What did I see?”

“There are so many notifications on the special channel!”

“Is this for real? Are players actually dying at the hands of demonic beasts?”

“If you still have doubts, hurry up and check the world channel. Many people have been sent back to the resurrection point and are complaining like crazy.”

The players joined the special channel.

No one imagined that there would be several death announcements every second.

Then, the players entered the world channel and immediately saw the complaints of these people.

“Oh my god, a wild boar killed me instantly. Now I’m sending this message at the resurrection point!”

“A snake demon actually took advantage of me sleeping on the grass and swallowed me whole. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have gone offline. Who knew that after going offline, even the state of isolation couldn’t protect me!”

“All of you encountered demonic beasts that were more than 10 meters tall. I encountered a giant beast that was more than a 100 meters tall. When it stomped down on me, I only felt a numbing sensation. Then, I died on the spot.”

“I’m speechless. After reading your message, I don’t know what to do. Where exactly should I hide? Should I dig a hole and hide in it?”

“Sir, I advise you to give up on this idea. Just now, a man-eating earthworm actually swallowed me completely!”

“F*ck! You were eaten while you were hiding in a hole? Should I hide in the sea then? I won’t be targeted that way.”

“Don’t be stupid. There are even more mysterious demonic beasts in the sea. I just lost contact with my men who were at sea. I don’t know how they died!”

“All of you should quickly check the death notices on the special channel. If I could scroll back to earlier notices, I would like to tally how many people died at the hands of the demonic beasts.”

“There are at least tens of thousands of people!”

“Tens of thousands of people? I’m afraid you’ve underestimated the strength of the demonic beasts. At least hundreds of thousands of people have died!”

…

[Ding! Player Kakao was attacked by demonic beasts during the Midnight Invasions and was killed!

[Ding! …]

Just as the people were discussing, new notifications kept appearing on the special channel.

Since they could not speak, they could only stare at the channel’s interface.

Some people hid in their hiding places and looked at the interface, making praying gestures.

“God, bless me!”

“My wife will definitely survive!”

…

“God!”

“Please bless our family!”

…

“God!”

“I promise to do good deeds for the rest of my life. Get rid of these demonic beasts and let me live through this night!”

…

For the entire night, be it on the regional channel or the world channel, the notifications did not cease.

Previously, when it was night time, many players would have gone to rest.

At least half of them would have left the game.

However, this time, not only did no one leave the game, there were also many players who had clearly been sleeping, but they then suddenly got up and checked their characters’ statuses.

When some people logged into the game and saw that their characters had entered a near-death state, their bodies went cold.

“F*ck!”

“Demonic beasts that come at midnight!”

“Oh my god!”

“Don’t send me back to the resurrection point!”

…

While the Demonic Beast Invasion continued, Jiang Bai and Su Muxue were already sleeping.

If anyone knew that the two of them could sleep so soundly, they would definitely gasp in shock.

After all, right now, many people were running around in the game.

Comparing the two sides, it could be said that the former was experiencing heaven, while the latter was plunged into hell.

The reason why Jiang Bai could sleep soundly was because he knew how to avoid the attacks of the demonic beasts.

In his previous life, he was an expert at evading capture who had once escaped many arrests in the real world. When he was in the game, he could easily deal with the invasion of the demonic beasts.

However, an expert like him had previously died at the hands of the demonic beasts.

After all, there was more than one demonic beast during the Midnight Invasions. There were countless demonic beasts appearing from the sea, land, and sky at the same time.

Due to his experience of perishing to the demonic beasts, he began to seriously study the patterns of the Midnight Invasions.

At the beginning, he only had a few simple insights, which were not to stay in an empty place or a room.

Later on, he discovered that the demonic beasts would not attack areas with Immortal Grass. They would not even step on it.

In the world of Swords and Magic, areas covered in Immortal Grass were very rare, almost impossible to find.

Even he had only found one area with Immortal Grass.

Being so rare, it was almost impossible for other players to discover the pattern of the demonic beast attacks.

However, for Jiang Bai, all he needed to do was to use the experience from his previous life.

He entered the coordinates of the area that he had memorized back then and teleported to the field of Immortal Grass.

Right now, Jiang Bai and Su Muxue were lying in the field of Immortal Grass. It was as if they were sleeping in heaven. The surroundings were filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers. A fresh scent wafted through the air.

…

When morning came, Jiang Bai woke up and ate some simple food.

As he lived near the villa, it was very quiet and almost no one disturbed him.

However, when he woke up this time, Jiang Bai felt as if something was missing.

It was as if he lacked the company of a familiar or a companion.

After letting out a brief sigh, Jiang Bai entered the game.

To him, the game was everything.

His current experience in the world of Sword and Magic was many times more exciting than that of the real world.

Very soon, Jiang Bai woke up among the Immortal Grass.

After that, he flashed a fawning smile at the young woman, who stared at him for a moment before releasing his ear.

After regaining his freedom, the young man rubbed his ear and cursed at Wind Lord, who was inside the mirror. He was clenching his teeth as if he had shifted all the blame to Wind Lord for the pain he had suffered.

A moment later, he put on a smile and let out a breath before saying, “It’s said that Dao changes everything, be it for better or for worse. Everything in this world is inconstant, including Humans.”

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and directly entered the mirror. As a ripple spread across its surface, the young man disappeared from the room. The next moment, he appeared in the hall and stood in front of Wind Lord.

The young man was handsome and his smile appeared harmless. Wind Lord was flabbergasted because from his perspective, the young man appeared too abruptly, as though he just walked out of the Void with no signs prior to that.

Wind Lord narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man warily, given that even with his cultivation, he still wasn’t able to gauge how powerful this young man was. Other than the fact that he himself was in a terrible state currently, it also went to show that the young man before him was truly extraordinary.
