Elite Creatures, Advanced Zone Unlocked

The clouds dispersed, revealing a snow-white monster.

[Frost Slime (One-Star Creature)]
[Level: LV3]
[Strength 10, Agility 7, Spirit 8, Constitution 8]
[Skills: Frost Armor, Snowball Spit.]

As this round creature, radiating a chilling aura, appeared, Han Xing didn't hesitate and shot an arrow.

"Wind Chaser Arrow, go!"

The Fine Iron Arrow carried the breath of the wind, moving with unimaginable speed.

Its powerful penetrating force instantly pierced through the slime's icy shell.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the ice shattered.

The arrow, along with its fletching, plunged entirely into the slime's body...

The Frost Slime instantly began to convulse violently.

Han Xing's eyes lit up; he had hit the slime's vital point.

"Tsk tsk, after changing a few pieces of equipment, this attack power is really something else. I didn't expect a single arrow to severely injure a level 3 monster."

"Good thing you're a slime; if you were a humanoid creature with a head, this arrow would have blown your brains out, heh heh heh."

Hearing Han Xing's strange laughter, the Frost Slime in front of him widened its eyes in terror.

"Poor slime, let me shoot... no, let me help you be free from this!"

Han Xing drew his bow and shot a second arrow, and then a system notification appeared.

[You have killed Frost Slime lv3, gaining 30 experience points.]
[Your territory has expanded.]

After merging with this slime's territory, Han Xing's territory area reached 72 cubic units, and he remained in first place on the points leaderboard.

Han Xing didn't stop and continued to approach other clouds.

[You have killed Crimson Fire Fox lv3, gaining 30 experience points, your territory has expanded.]
[You have killed Black鬃 Wild Boar lv3, gaining 30 experience points, your territory has expanded.]
[You have killed...]

System notifications appeared one after another. From morning until the sun was about to set, Han Xing hardly stopped for a moment.

In the process of constantly exploring the clouds, he also encountered many monsters.

Emerald Frogs, Lightning Slimes, Hunchback Boar Packs...

One monster after another fell to his arrows.

Han Xing gained a large amount of experience, and the experience bar below his character panel reached 90% of level 2.

At the same time, his territory area had also expanded by nearly double. On the territory points leaderboard, Han Xing firmly occupied first place with 129 points.

He was also currently the only one whose territory area had broken through three digits.

The current second place was the Papaya Star Spirit, who had come from behind, with 95 points, surpassing the original Whisperer and Black Hawk.

However, the gap between them was not very large now, and the other two were also closely following behind.

Han Xing mused, "It seems the competition on the leaderboard is fierce."

More than fierce, what he didn't know was that the chat channel in District 107 was already on the verge of a complete meltdown over this ranking.

The second, third, and fourth places on the leaderboard were all held by influential forces, and in addition to the top ten, there were several other forces.

Driven by some people with ulterior motives, it seemed that in order to interfere with the competitors on the leaderboard, a passionate flame war had been started in the chat channel.

Except for the Twilight Mercenaries, where Black Hawk was, who were relatively low-key, the other teams had joined the flame war.

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Han Xing.

The sun set in the west, and a crescent moon climbed onto the branches.

Under the moonlight, a human wearing leather armor and holding an iron bow was fighting a Graystone Giant Wolf.

His nimble figure constantly leaped back and forth on the suspended platform, repeatedly avoiding the Graystone Giant Wolf's pounces, and then taking advantage of the moment he created distance, he drew his bow and shot an arrow.

This person was none other than Han Xing.

"Wolf bro, hurry up, run faster! Didn't you eat? My dog runs faster than you!"

"Are you really a wolf? Or are you just a little mutt wearing a wolf skin?"

Han Xing hurled insults while keeping his distance from the giant wolf.

Although he didn't know if the giant wolf understood him, his harassment tactics were indeed effective.

The giant wolf's eyes grew increasingly bloodshot, laced with red veins.

It became even more enraged, letting out a roar as it prepared to pounce on Han Xing.

Just then, the human Hunter opposite him suddenly narrowed his eyes. An arrow, carrying a hint of green, tore through the air with terrifying speed, instantly striking.

The Graystone Giant Wolf couldn't evade; it could only allow the arrow to pierce its abdomen.

"Got it!" Han Xing exclaimed excitedly.

Watching the Graystone Giant Wolf's increasingly sluggish movements, he knew the neurotoxin smeared on the arrow tip was taking effect.

Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "This elite monster is really tough to deal with. It took so many of my arrows and is still jumping around."

That's right, this Graystone Giant Wolf was an elite wild monster.

Han Xing encountered it and engaged in battle while clearing the last cloud in the surrounding area.

The monster's attributes appeared before him.

[Graystone Giant Wolf (One-Star Elite Creature)]
[Level: lv3]
[Strength 15, Agility 20, Spirit 11, Constitution 18]
[Skills: Swift Pounce, Bite, Bloodlust.]

An elite creature with a full three skills, coupled with its powerful attributes, meant almost certain death for any human survivor who encountered it at this stage.

Han Xing knew this was likely related to his exploration speed.

He had conquered almost all the clouds in this area. This giant wolf was likely the strongest monster in the area besides the Dark Elf squad, equivalent to a regional mini-boss.

At this moment, the Graystone Giant Wolf had seven or eight Fine Iron Arrows stuck in its body. Although none had hit a vital point, the continuously acting neurotoxin was making it increasingly weak.

The Graystone Giant Wolf's movements gradually slowed. At this moment, it seemed to realize its fate was sealed.

A trace of calmness returned to the giant wolf's ferocious gaze. It looked at Han Xing, then around at its surroundings.

The Graystone Giant Wolf seemed to make a decision. It howled at the sky, then suddenly leaped into Han Xing's territory.

Seeing this, Han Xing narrowed his eyes, ready for the giant wolf to pounce at any moment.

However, the Graystone Giant Wolf's target wasn't him. Instead, it charged straight toward the five storage boxes at the edge of the territory.

"Cunning fellow, trying to damage my territory before it dies?"

Han Xing didn't panic. Instead, he raised the bow in his hand.

The next moment, the Multi-Shot Barrage skill activated.

Shuu! Shuu! Shuu!

Five consecutive sounds of air being torn apart rang out as five Fine Iron Arrows shot toward the Graystone Giant Wolf's massive body at terrifying speed.

Puff puff puff!

Four out of the five arrows hit their mark.

The Graystone Giant Wolf, already barely conscious, staggered after taking another series of heavy blows, and finally collapsed.

[You have killed Graystone Giant Wolf (Elite) lv3, gaining 150 experience points]
[Your level has increased.]

"Leveled up!"

His level had reached 3. Han Xing looked at his stats and nodded. "Not bad. Agility increased by 3 points, and Strength, Spirit, and Constitution each increased by 1 point."

Over the past two days, he had roughly figured out the leveling bonuses for human survivors.

Before levels 1-10, before becoming an advanced class, each level gained roughly 4-6 attribute points.

Then, depending on one's class specialization, the corresponding attributes would increase even more.

For example, Agility for Hunters, Strength for Warriors, Spirit for Mages, and the dual Spirit and Constitution attributes for Clerics.

Just then, a different notification than before appeared.

[You have killed an elite monster in this area, and can now explore higher-level areas]
[Please note that monsters in higher-level areas will become more powerful. Survivors should choose carefully when exploring.]
