The title of the post was: Beware! Dark Elf Squad!

Clicking on it revealed several pictures of monsters along with their attributes.

Slender figures and pointed ears indicated their identity: Dark Elves.

The Dark Elf squad configuration encountered by Papaya Star Spirit was similar to what Han Xing had faced.

In the post, Papaya Star Spirit emphasized the Dark Elves' strength and intense aggression.

He had barely escaped with his life, almost dying there.

Then, he told other survivors to pay attention to system prompts. If there were any prompts related to 'Fallen Creatures,' they should definitely not enter, or their chances of survival would be slim.

After reading the post, many survivors couldn't help but feel fortunate.

"Dark Elves, such strong monsters, I hope we don't encounter them."

"Yeah, it's good that Papaya Star Spirit is willing to share the information. It's also fortunate that he's strong, otherwise, we would probably be killed by the Dark Elves in one encounter."

After reading the chat channel's information, Han Xing pondered.

Papaya Star Spirit had also encountered a Dark Elf squad, but the thing they were guarding didn't seem to be Spirit Spring Water, but a silver treasure chest.

"So, not all Dark Elves are guarding a water source; it could be other treasures."

Thinking of this, Han Xing felt slightly relieved.

Because it meant that he could monopolize the Spirit Spring Water for a while longer.

However, it also reminded him that the survivors' strength was gradually increasing, and they would soon be able to solve the water problem on their own.

Han Xing immediately thought, "I have to hurry and sell another batch of Spirit Spring Water, or it will become worthless when everyone no longer worries about water."

Thinking of this, Han Xing opened the trading channel.

Compared to yesterday, there were thousands more trading messages.

Han Xing's lips curled into a smile.

"Everyone is really working hard; they must have found a lot of materials today, right?"

"Working so hard, you must be very thirsty, right?"

"Then wouldn't you like to have a sip of sweet Spirit Spring Water now?"

Han Xing kept making insidious laughter, and seeming to realize that he was losing himself, he quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

Then, he put the Spirit Spring Water on the shelves again.

Compared to yesterday, the exchange conditions for the Spirit Spring Water were even more demanding this time.

He removed the green equipment blueprints and added some other blueprints, such as various territory buildings and defensive building blueprints. Then, he also added the exchange of materials such as strongman's blood, various herbs, and mithril.

The appearance of the Spirit Spring Water caused another sensation.

Although it wasn't as enthusiastic as yesterday, Han Xing still exchanged for a lot of materials.

After two or three hours of trading.

Han Xing spent a total of 432 liters of Spirit Spring Water and exchanged it for three full storage boxes, 2550 storage spaces of materials.

Among them, he exchanged for as many as 21,643 Spirit Cores, 45,387 pieces of Fine Iron, 103 one-star beast skins, 86,646 pieces of Rare Earth...

There were also Aether, Darkfire Stone, Moonflower Grass, and other materials, which could be described as massive.

Of course, he didn't exchange for a single blue equipment or blueprint.

The other survivors weren't stupid either, and naturally knew the value of such things.

Now it wasn't like yesterday, when the trading channel was desperate for water. Some teams had found some drinking water, more or less.

However, the healing function of Spirit Spring Water was still unique and had no competitors.

Han Xing thought to himself, "There are still more than 800 liters of Spirit Spring Water, which should be enough to sell one more time, which is tomorrow."

"After selling this time, the market for Spirit Spring Water will start to shrink, and I won't be able to continue harvesting materials from the players."

"But it doesn't matter, the early preparations have been almost completed. When I get a batch of blue blueprints, I can use these materials to mass-produce equipment and then sell it to other survivors, which will start a new round of harvesting."

"At that time, I'll store most of the materials, and after the territory reaches a certain scale, I'll start mass-constructing large-scale fortifications to make my territory impregnable."

"Then I'll get new equipment blueprints and continue this model to grow bigger and stronger!"

Thinking of this, the smile on Han Xing's face was almost uncontrollable.

Han Xing had made a preliminary plan for his future development. He might encounter other situations in the middle, such as version updates, and he would have to adapt accordingly.

However, no matter how it changes, he has advantages that other survivors don't.

That is a 100% crafting success rate!

As long as there are corresponding blueprints, he can mass-produce even artifacts for you!

He didn't believe that other survivors could refuse these higher-quality, more powerful equipment.

And as long as they have a demand, Han Xing can seek huge benefits from it.

Thinking of this, Han Xing looked up at the sky.

It was already late at night, and after a full day of exploration and continuous battles, Han Xing was starting to feel fatigued.

"Let's call it a day. Fighting while exhausted isn't wise."

He glanced at the Exotic Beast Egg's incubation progress on the system interface.

[Remaining incubation time: 76 hours, 17 minutes, 48 seconds...]

"More than seventy hours left until it hatches. Hopefully, the creature inside this Exotic Beast Egg won't disappoint me..."

Han Xing lay back on his bed, preparing to go to sleep again.

At the same time...

Not long after Han Xing fell asleep, on the Sky Island territory of another survivor, A middle-aged man wearing a Mage's robe and holding a Bronze Staff was battling a group of jungle boars.

He waved the staff in his hand, and a fireball the size of a washbasin gradually took shape.

Then, he unhesitatingly hurled the fireball into the pack of boars.

With a bang, the boar pack erupted in screams.

Immediately after, several ice arrows as thick as thumbs shot out, instantly piercing holes in the bodies of several boars.

At that moment, a massive elite monster burst out from the boar pack, its blood-red eyes glaring as it charged towards the human Mage like a small mountain.

The human Mage remained calm, waving his hand and using an Air Blast to increase the distance between himself and the boar.

Then, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, hitting the elite boar squarely on the head.

Crack!

The elite boar's body instantly stiffened, and a cloud of black smoke rose from it. The human Mage even smelled the aroma of roasted meat.

The elite boar collapsed, leaving only ordinary boars in the Sky Island territory. The rest of the battle was no longer in doubt.

After the entire boar pack was wiped out, the human Mage pulled back the hood on his head, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.

He was the leader of the 'Whispers of God' guild, the Whisperer, currently ranked second on the leaderboard.

The Whisperer crouched on the ground, a smile appearing on his lips. "Excellent, this Sky Island is a full 12 square meters in size. It will add quite a few points!"

He quickly merged the boar territory with his own Sky Island.

On the leaderboard, the Whisperer's territory score jumped from 164 to 176 in an instant, only 8 points away from surpassing Han Xing and taking first place!

The Whisperer mused, "Xinghe's score hasn't changed for a while. Could it be... that guy's gone to sleep?"

He quickly realized something and chuckled. "How leisurely. But this gives me an opportunity."

"Xinghe, while you're sleeping, I'm going to surpass you and take first place. That hidden class scroll will definitely be mine!"

After speaking, the Whisperer controlled his Sky Island, continuing towards the next location.

What he didn't realize was that his pupils were already bloodshot.

On the other side, Black Hawk, ranked third, and Papaya Star Spirit, ranked fourth, were also exploring against the clock.

As the night wore on, the top three positions on the leaderboard quietly changed.
