The situation that he was most unwilling to see had happened!
Chen Mo had released the demon, hoping that it would stop the abyssal monsters from attacking the city.
The demon had indeed stopped the abyssal monsters for a few hours, but after devouring a large number of abyssal monsters and recovering some of its strength, it turned its target to the human city, Catrin's territory.
Compared to the abyssal monsters, the human city was more attractive to it.
What should he do?
Lure the demon away?
Impossible!
Chen Mo had been staring at the demon for a few hours. He knew that it was definitely not something that the current players could deal with. Even if he personally attacked, the damage to the demon would be insignificant. He would not be able to pull the demon's aggro away.
A large number of abyssal monsters had been devoured by the demon. The current players did not have the ability to fight against the demon. Catrin could resist the second wave of monsters for a long time, but if the demon attacked, Catrin would not be able to hold on for even half an hour.
Since he could not fight head-on, the only way was to hide.
Did he have to use the Time Ring Replica?
Chen Mo looked at the Time Ring Replica in his backpack, feeling rather unwilling.
The Time Ring Replica could be said to be a one-time-use divine artifact. It was very powerful. Using the Time Ring's ability to accelerate the passage of time in the area of the Sky Tree, the Sky Tree's power accumulation would naturally increase to more than 50%.
However, Chen Mo was not sure what effect releasing the Sky Tree's power would bring to Catrin in the end.
He guessed that this power would make Catrin float, but this was ultimately just a guess. The possibility of the Sky Tree's power having other uses was not low.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Chen Mo finally decided to release the demon first.
The demon could pull the abyssal monsters away. If the demon did not attack Catrin, Catrin would be able to survive the second wave of monsters attacking the city.
If the demon targeted Catrin, Chen Mo would use the Time Ring to accelerate the growth of the Sky Tree and release the Sky Tree's power before the demon arrived.
If the Sky Tree's power could make the city float away as he expected, the demon and the monsters attacking the city would not be able to do anything to Catrin.
And if the Sky Tree's power had other effects, then using it at the beginning or the end would be useless against Katelyn. That was why Chen Mo chose not to use the Time Ring unless he had no other choice.
Now that the demons had their eyes on Katrin, Chen Mo had no other choice but to use the Time Ring to make a final gamble!
The Black Mud Demon's speed wasn't fast. It continued to devour the abyssal monsters along the way. Chen Mo rode on the Black Phoenix and returned to Katrin.
"The demons are coming here?"
Hearing Chen Mo's news, Fatila was shocked.
She knew very well that if the devil came to Catelyn, Catelyn would not be spared.
"Let me try. If I use the Witch's Ring's power, I might be able to stop the demons from approaching this place," Enoch said slowly.
The Witch's Ring was not just a storage ring. This ring was an inheritance of the God's Punishment Witches. Only those who possessed the God's Punishment Witch Origin Bloodline could use it. When Enoch used the Witch's Ring, he could activate the God's Punishment Witch aura on the Witch's Ring through his God's Punishment Witch bloodline.
"The demon is too powerful. Can you scare it away?"
Chen Mo did not know much about the Witch's Ring, but he had seen the power of the abyssal monsters. He did not think that the aura of the God's Punishment Witch alone could chase away a demon.
"If the demon was at its peak, of course, this would be impossible.
But don't forget that this demon has been sealed for a long time. It just came out and is very weak. Although it has recovered some strength by absorbing the abyssal monsters, it's still far from its peak.
Most importantly, it was sealed by the God's Punishment Witch in the past and is very sensitive to the aura of the God's Punishment Witch. In its current state, if it really encounters the God's Punishment Witch, it will be sealed again. It should be very afraid of the God's Punishment Witch.
If I use the Witch's Ring here, it'll be best if it can scare the demon away. If it can't, it won't be too late for you to use the Time Ring. "
Enoch explained in detail. When Chen Mo heard this, he felt that Enoch was right. If the aura of the God's Punishment Witch was ineffective against the demon, it would not be too late for him to use the Time Ring.
After the Sky Tree's strength reached 45%, several hours had passed. Now, the Sky Tree's strength had accumulated to 48%. If he used the Time Ring, he would definitely be able to accumulate the Sky Tree's strength to 50% before the demon arrived.
Exiting the courtyard of the lord's mansion, Enoch, who was wearing the Witch's Ring, raised his hand high and chanted some ancient rhythmic incantation.
Then, the ancient and ordinary Witch's Ring burst out with a blood-colored light on Enoch's finger.
This blood-colored light rushed into the sky from the Witch's Ring and quickly formed a huge Blood Witch phantom in the sky, looking down at the countless abyssal monsters below.
Far in the distance, Black Mud Demon, who had been slowly moving towards Katrin, abruptly lifted its head and stared at the Blood Witch's silhouette in the sky when it was formed.
In that phantom, there was an aura that made it fear and hate. It had been sealed for so long and almost killed by a group of people with this aura.
As soon as it was released, it encountered this aura, and it had the urge to kill those people for revenge.
However, feeling the weakness of its body, its strength was declining rapidly. When it was at its peak, it was still sealed by those people. If it encountered those people now, it would probably be sealed again.
It had finally regained its freedom, and Demon Black Mud was not an unintelligent monster. It did not want to be sealed again in less than half a day after it came out.
Although it felt that there might be something strange there, Demon Black Mud did not want to take the risk.
After roaring a few times in that direction, Demon Black Mud turned around and began to leave Katrin's territory.
It was just giving up on a small human town. When it recovered its strength, it would not have to be afraid of anyone anymore!
Moving slowly outside, Demon Black Mud found a crack in the abyss, and the abyssal monsters came out from that crack.
After finding the crack, the Black Mud Demon dove in.
"Fortunately, this guy is finally gone."
In the sky, Chen Mo, who had been tailing Demon Black Mud, was relieved when he saw it go into the crack in the abyss.
The demon had left, and a few hours after the demon was released, Katrin gained precious time to rest.
Although it was only six or seven hours, Chen Mo knew that Katrin was basically safe.
In those six or seven hours, Katrin had almost no consumption. Instead, she had some replenishment of the Indestructible Crystal.
And in the last day, the strength of the monsters attacking the city would gradually weaken, and Katrin would not have a problem surviving the second wave of monsters attacking the city.
Everything that happened after that was just as Chen Mo expected.
Although the monsters attacking the city would quickly return to their original state after the demon left, the defensive puppets could keep up. The players in charge of DPS had also leveled up to around Level 54 or 55 in these two or three days, and the speed of killing Level 60 abyssal monsters was much faster.
Therefore, in the following time, Katrin passed through the second wave of monsters attacking the city safely.
The Crimson Sand City and Moonlight City had already been razed to the ground by the monster army. However, Katrin, who was previously looked down upon by the players, ended up like Prague City, surviving the second wave of monster attack without any damage. This was something that countless players did not expect.
Prague and Katrin were the only human cities left in the Huaxia Region. It would be hard for Katrin not to become famous now.
Katrin's survival was related to the fact that the monsters did not attack Katrin during the critical few hours in the middle of the attack, and instead gathered in another direction.
The monsters attacking other cities did not have such a phenomenon, and in the eyes of many people, Katrin was naturally even more mysterious.
No one thought that it was a coincidence, and it must have been someone in Katrin who did something to make the monsters not attack Katrin temporarily.
Thinking about Katrin's unique defensive puppets, the number of people who were interested in Katrin suddenly increased.
After the monster attack ended, a large number of players rushed towards Katrin.
Especially the players who were not very high level. In the Huaxia Region, only Katrin and Prague were left. Prague was obviously not suitable for low-level players, but Katrin was suitable for both high-level and low-level players.
"So many people!"
Many people came all the way to Katrin and were shocked by the large number of players.
They had no choice, if they did not go to Prague, the only place where NPCs were active was Katrin. Even if they were not interested in Katrin, they had to come to Katrin.
Katrin was not a big city, but most of the human players in the Huaxia Region gathered.
Even if many people went to the wilderness after buying things, Katrin was still overcrowded, and it was difficult to move around inside.
In the nearby cities, only Katrin survived the second wave of monsters. Chen Mo had already expected the situation, but when he saw that Katrin was full of people, he could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
With so many players rushing to Katrin, while Katrin was overcrowded, the territory's population and economic attributes had also increased greatly. Especially the population, which had increased from more than 90 to more than 500!
Obviously, as long as Katrin's other attributes could keep up, Katrin would be able to level up to the next stage!
It was a good thing that Katrin had the foundation for rapid development, but now, only the second wave of monsters had passed. In another half a month, the third wave of monsters would come.
Chen Mo knew that Katrin would not be able to resist the third wave of monsters no matter what.

Tomorrow at 4 PM.
