Slaying the Demon Spider, Great Spoils

A gunshot rang out.

A bloody hole instantly appeared on the Cave Spider's body.

"Thump!"

The Cave Spider fell to the ground, struggled for a moment, and then completely collapsed.

A System Prompt appeared.

Successfully killed Cave Spider, a Level 20 Elite creature. Killing a monster above your level grants 500 * 500% Experience Points, earning 2500 Experience Points!

Combatants: Liu Muxue, Sarah Blade Dance, Andrew, Ilena, and Assam gained Experience Points: 1250 points.

This is too abstract. The late-game team just brought a low-level person to finish off the monster for a tenfold experience bonus.

Your level has increased. Current Level: 5.

This level-up granted: Strength +2, Agility +1, Spirit +3, Constitution +2.

A white light rose from Cao Xing and Liu Muxue simultaneously.

They had leveled up at the same time!

Cao Xing excitedly said, "Haha, I'm the one who got the kill!"

Then, a second System Prompt appeared.

Successfully killed Cave Spider, obtained loot: Beginner Heart of Strength * 1

Obtained Primary Elemental Crystal * 12

Obtained Beginner Pet Contract * 1

Obtained Demon Spider Spirit (Elite) * 1

Obtained Book of Chaos (Intermediate) * 3

Obtained Demon Spider Staff (Blue)

A large pile of rewards appeared.

"Whoa, as expected of a Level 20 Elite monster, the drop rate is too high!"

Not only that, but after the battle ended, Sarah, Andrew, and the others looked at Cao Xing with admiration.

The Cave Spider was a powerful creature, yet they hadn't sustained any serious injuries.

The lost health was almost replenished.

Due to your excellent command and outstanding combat ability.

Assam's Loyalty to you has increased. Current Loyalty: 100

(When Loyalty reaches maximum, this follower will prioritize your commands and be willing to sacrifice their life to complete your instructions.)

Andrew's Loyalty to you has increased. Current Loyalty: 80

Sarah Blade Dance's Loyalty to you has increased. Current Loyalty: 79

Meanwhile, survivors who were watching the leaderboard suddenly saw Cao Xing's Experience Points jump from Level 4, 65% to Level 5, 30%.

At this moment, the entire District 174 chat channel fell into a stunned silence.

"My god... what happened?"

"Didn't they say Fang Long and Zhou Bo were about to surpass Cao Xing? How did such a huge gap suddenly open up!"

"So terrifying! So much experience gained at once! What kind of terrifying creature did Big Boss Cao Xing kill?"

At this moment, the survivors from the Three Heroes Guild posted in the chat channel.

"Impossible! The leaderboard must be malfunctioning!"

"That's right. Going from Level 4 to Level 5 requires at least a few thousand experience points. How could he have gained so much experience all at once?"

However, other survivors couldn't stand it anymore.

"You guys from the Three Heroes Guild, stop being stubborn. You're even saying the leaderboard is malfunctioning."

"Exactly, the facts are right there, and you still refuse to admit it."

As more and more people voiced their support for Cao Xing, the posts from the Three Heroes Guild members were quickly drowned out.

In the Mole People's Mine Cave.

Liu Muxue walked over with a joyful expression and said softly, "A Xing, I leveled up too!"

"The system also prompted that I've entered the top ten on the leaderboard!"

Cao Xing nodded, "Not bad. It looks like by the end of this leaderboard event, there's hope of bringing you into the top three."

He ruffled Liu Muxue's hair.

This intimate gesture made Liu Muxue blush shyly.

She let out a soft "Mm."

Then, Cao Xing began to examine the rewards he had just obtained.

Besides the Beginner Heart of Strength and Primary Elemental Crystal, everything else is new.

Cao Xing began to examine them.

Beginner Pet Contract (Green): This contract can be used on a wild creature to make it your exclusive pet. The success rate is 5%~20%. (Quick Tip: You can try to subdue it by force, which can greatly increase the success rate~)

Book of Chaos (Intermediate): Contains runes of moderate power. (Can be used on a follower to randomly increase their four core attributes by 3 points.)

Demon Spider Spirit (Elite): A spirit containing powerful soul energy. (Can be used on a follower below Tier 2 to greatly increase their chance of evolving into an Elite creature. The success rate is 50%~80%.)

Upon seeing this Demon Spider Spirit, Cao Xing's eyes lit up. "Holy crap! This spirit can actually evolve a normal creature into an elite one!" Although there was a chance of failure, the chance of success was clearly higher.

Cao Xing's gaze swept across his followers before landing on Assam. Assam was currently only a Tier 2 normal creature. If he could be upgraded to Elite, he would become even stronger.

Therefore, Cao Xing called Assam over and threw the Demon Spider Spirit directly at him. "Assam, use this. It will make you stronger."

Assam looked at the cluster of blue ghost fire in his hand and, without any hesitation, absorbed it directly into his body. The next moment, Assam's entire body stiffened. He felt a powerful force surging within him, beginning to reshape his body!

Then, everyone simultaneously felt an extremely formidable aura rising from Assam.

A System Prompt appeared.

Your follower: 'Assam', has used the Demon Spider Spirit and successfully evolved into an Elite creature. Its potential has been increased, all attributes have increased by 30%, and it will gain more attribute bonuses with each level up. Additional Skill Activated: Frost Sword Qi (Condenses frost power to unleash a sword qi with a freezing effect. Maximum attack range is 30 meters. Deals 166% of attack damage to all enemies in its path. Cooldown: 60 seconds.)

Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up. A new skill, and it was a ranged one at that! This upgrade was amazing!

Assam also sensed that after using that ball of ghost fire, his strength had increased significantly! He looked at Cao Xing excitedly, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Thank you, my Lord, for granting me this power. Assam has nothing to repay you with!"

Cao Xing nodded, "This is what you deserve, Knight Assam. From now on, you will build a glorious territory with me."

Assam was so moved that he was almost in tears. He choked out, "Meeting a Lord like you is truly Assam's good fortune!" Assam's loyalty had reached its maximum, so no further system prompts appeared.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and then checked Assam's attributes.

Frost Wolf Knight: Assam (Tier 2 Elite Creature) Race: Human Level: 10 (3635/10000) Health: 2660 Attack Power: 312~327 Armor: 24~274 Attributes: Strength 148, Agility 140, Spirit 135, Constitution 133 Skills: Master Rider, Frost Wolf Swordplay, Frost Sword Qi Hunger: 802 Loyalty: 100

As expected, all his attributes had increased significantly. Now he had three Tier 2 Elite creatures under his command.

Cao Xing looked at the items in his backpack and took out a Beginner Strength Crystal. This item could be used on the Lord or on summoned creatures.

Cao Xing pondered, "For this ranking event, Muxue and I should be able to get into the top ten without any problem." "So, I can use this Strength Crystal now to improve my subordinate's strength."
