Consequently, akin to the mindset of those Bone Demons, when Zhou Tian had not yet ascended to the upper spaces, they had already started battling with the players of that layer.
Because the Bone Demons, who lived within the player's Sphere of Influence, had limited areas to roam, the players were accustomed to the rules of Monster Hunting based on where they were. Therefore, when the underground monsters surged to the upper layers, unless they were unlucky enough to encounter a player preparing to head down, the players they met were naturally weaker than those they usually faced.
As a result, although the players had special abilities that prevented the Bone Demons from exploiting their numerical advantage, the battles still relied on strength. Thus, when those players were not stronger than the lower-level Bone Demons, the players naturally might not be able to defeat them.
