Both Make the Rankings

+22, +22.

One healing number after another floated up as the drilling robot's durability rapidly recovered.

Cao Xing's eyes lit up. "Damn, it really works!"

Then, he cast an Ice Armor Technique on the robot, while Liu Muxue bestowed it with an Aurora Blessing.

Before long, the drilling robot announced that it had been revived at full health.

At that moment, it spoke in a mechanical voice.

"I feel... very good..."

Cao Xing nodded. "Good, good, good!"

"Since you've recovered, go join the battle too!"

"Understood... Master..."

Under Cao Xing's command, the robot marched forward on steel feet and joined the fray.

Bzzzz!

Its drill began to spin as the drilling robot charged into the Mole People, sending them flying one after another.

-254

-233

-213

-247

Damage numbers floated up one after another, followed by waves of Mole People screams!

"Squeak! Squeak squeak!"

Cao Xing turned his attention back to the battlefield.

The three robots had the highest attack power on the field.

With their formidable defense and attack power, the robots were as troublesome as elite monsters of the same level.

In a one-on-one fight, Andrew and the Frost Wolf might not have feared them.

But now, they were also surrounded by so many Mole People.

So, they fought while constantly shifting positions to evade attacks.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Nearby Mole People warriors continuously swung their weapons at Andrew and the Frost Wolf.

-37

-63

-54

After being weakened by both Scale Armor and Frost Armor, along with Andrew and the Frost Wolf's own defense...

The damage dealt by these Mole People was negligible.

And soon, healing numbers of +22, +22 would appear above Frost Wolf Winter and Andrew.

Nearly three minutes had passed since the battle began, yet their health had dropped by less than 30%.

Meanwhile.

Sarah continued appearing from the shadows, attacking the three robots.

She knew that as long as she dealt with these robots first, the remaining Mole People would pose no threat.

Crack!

Shadow Blades swung.

-674!

An outrageous damage number floated up.

That strike had triggered Coup de Grace's double critical-hit effect.

Sarah blew apart the last tracked robot on the spot.

Seeing this, Cao Xing felt completely at ease.

"Haha! Let me show you what an infinitely self-healing Phantom Assassin looks like!"

"Sarah, cut them down!"

At the same time, several Mole People noticed Cao Xing behind them and seemed to realize that he was the one calling the shots.

One Mole People captain wearing a hat pointed at Cao Xing.

"Kill him!"

The other Mole People turned their gazes toward him.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Holding spears and iron swords, they charged straight at Cao Xing.

Assam, who had been serving as his guard, moved in an instant.

"A bunch of shady bastards! Do not offend the Lord!"

A cold glint flashed as he wielded Frost Wolf Swordsmanship with whistling force.

Swish, swish, swish!

-322

-335

-493!

Mole People died one after another beneath Assam's sword.

After advancing into an elite creature, Assam was truly unstoppable!

Your territory member: Assam has killed Mole People Soldier lv11. Obtained EXP: 110

You obtained EXP: 55

Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance has killed Mole People Soldier lv13. Obtained EXP: 130

You obtained EXP: 65

Notifications for gained experience kept coming.

There were more than a hundred Mole People here.

Cao Xing could practically watch his experience bar soar.

It had already reached 86% of Level 5!

At that moment, Liu Muxue beside him was still tense.

Ever since the battle began, she had vigilantly watched the surroundings while guarding Cao Xing.

Cao Xing patted Liu Muxue on the shoulder. "All right, you can relax a little now."

Liu Muxue's shoulders trembled. Then she turned around and softly let out a breath.

Just then, a beam of white light rose from Liu Muxue's body.

Her beautiful eyes flickered as she said excitedly, "A-Xing! I reached Level 5!"

Cao Xing smiled. "Not bad. Looks like you have a chance of making the top three this time."

Cao Xing checked the Level Rankings.

Region 174 Level Rankings First Place: Cao Xing (Level 5, 86%)

Second Place: Liu Muxue (Level 5, 2%)

Third Place: Zhou Bo (Level 4, 43%)

Fourth Place: Fang Long (Level 4, 21%)

Liu Muxue had leaped straight into second place!

At that moment, Region 174's chat channel completely exploded.

Lü Jing: "Holy shit! Boss Cao Xing is terrifying. The way he's leveling is like he's on steroids."

Chen Yu: "Yeah, this is ridiculous! How long has it even been? He's almost Level 6 already!"

Ying Kewei: "Who is this Liu Muxue? She actually overtook Zhou Bo and Fang Long in one go and rushed straight into second place!"

Huang Shanhe: "Our Region 174 is full of hidden talents. Another secret big shot just popped up, and judging by the name, she even seems to be a woman."

The survivors all marveled at it.

At that moment, a survivor named Chen Ye said, "Wait a second, don't you think the name Liu Muxue sounds familiar?"

At his reminder, the other survivors fell into thought.

"It does sound familiar. I remember one of the ten goddesses listed in Hong Kong fashion magazines was named Liu Muxue."

"Holy crap! Could it really be Goddess Muxue?"

Zhuo Baosheng: "I think it's very possible. Other than Goddess Liu Muxue, who else could have this kind of strength?"

"Damn... so it's Goddess Liu Muxue. No wonder!"

Meanwhile, other survivors also noticed the changes in the rankings.

Fang Long had just killed a Snow Wolf in a snowy field.

After receiving the news from one of his subordinates, his expression changed.

"That brat is almost Level 6 already?"

"And Liu Muxue reached Level 5 too?"

Fang Long's face turned livid.

He had originally wanted to catch up to Cao Xing today, but now it seemed that the gap was only getting wider.

That made him feel pressured.

"At this rate, that brat is really going to take first place."

"Once he uses the first-place reward to summon a leader-class creature, I won't stand a chance against him."

"I need to think of something."

Fang Long opened his friend list, found a survivor named Ji Jun, and sent him a message.

"How's the investigation into that brat's camp coordinates going?"

The other side quickly replied, "Boss, no one can travel far from their camps right now, and nobody has found any trace of that brat. It's not easy to investigate..."

"Useless trash."

Fang Long cursed and immediately hung up.

But he also knew that at this stage, finding someone's camp coordinates...

Would be extremely difficult if the other party did not expose them voluntarily.

Fang Long sank into thought.

A moment later, he suddenly thought of something.

"I remember Muxue seems to be staying with that brat."

"And Liu Muxue's family contacted me yesterday."

"I wonder if I can start with her family and find their camp coordinates?"

Fang Long's eyes suddenly lit up. "This might work!"

"I heard Liu Muxue has been controlled by her family since she was young. She has to report all her movements, and she's very obedient to her parents."

"And Liu Zhenjie is a greedy bastard. A few more pieces of food should be enough to buy him off."

Thinking of this, an intrigued smile appeared at the corner of Fang Long's mouth.

So, he opened his friend list.

Then, he dialed Liu Zhenjie's call...
