Whispers of God, Twilight Mercenaries, Airplane Boy Band.
District 107's three major teams had entered a period of rapid growth. The number of people in the Discussion Group increased every day, and the situation was beginning to resemble a three-way balance of power.
Han Xing, on the other hand, had shown no signs of recovery since falling out of the top ten.
So far, Han Xing's territory points had just surpassed 400, barely keeping him within the top twenty.
The Chat Channel had basically stopped discussing Han Xing. It seemed he was about to fade into obscurity.
Early on the fourth day, Han Xing's territory points reached 456, and he had already fallen out of the top twenty.
However, Han Xing had deliberately slowed his pace.
If he truly went all out, he could still maintain a position in the top ten. But that did not meet his expectations.
There was not much difference between the rewards for the top ten and the top twenty. His only goal was first place.
So Han Xing was waiting for an opportunity—the hatching of his pet.
At this stage, when everyone was fighting alone, having one more pet, no matter how weak it was, could still provide survivors with considerable help.
And Han Xing's pet egg was a treasure he had snatched from the Demon Lord. It definitely would not be weak.
That would be the time for his real sprint!
On the rankings, Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun had also been squeezed out of the top fifty.
In the Discussion Group, Cheng Jianyong started complaining early in the morning. "Damn, these people are insane. I've kept my daily sleep under six hours and spent all the rest of my time exploring floating islands, but I still can't beat them. What a bunch of grinders!"
Han Xing smiled. "That's normal. During the event, all survivors in District 107 have a state called 'Brave Battle,' which makes combat easier. They'll definitely explore floating islands like crazy while they have this buff."
However, Shen Yun said thoughtfully, "Four days... Today is the ninetieth hour since the event began."
"Those grinders in the top twenty probably haven't slept much at all. No matter how strong-willed they are, they should be close to their limits by now."
Cheng Jianyong said dejectedly, "So what? The gap between us is too big. Even if some of them can't hold on and rest for a few hours, we still won't catch up."
"And don't even think about first place. That Whisperer has already broken 800 points. He'll probably surpass 1,000 today and take the first-place reward."
But Shen Yun shook his head. "No, you don't understand."
"Those people on the rankings, especially the ones in the top ten, won't dare rest now no matter how sleepy they are."
"They're afraid that if they rest for a few hours, the rankings they struggled to maintain for days will vanish in an instant!"
"So the next day will determine the final rankings. It all depends on whether they can endure."
"And don't forget, there are also powerful beings like regional bosses..."
Shen Yun was right. At that very moment...
Within other survivors' territories...
The Whisperer in a full set of mage equipment, the Stalker Black Hawk, the warrior Papaya Star Spirit, and several other survivors near the top of the rankings...
All of them were fighting the monsters on their floating islands with bloodshot pupils, clenched teeth, and the last scraps of their focus.
But no matter how hard they forced themselves onward, their exhausted bodies and sluggish movements betrayed them.
At that moment, a young man wielding a two-handed greatsword was fighting a giant lizard when his vision suddenly blurred.
He desperately blinked, but his consciousness seemed to stutter in and out.
By the time he forced himself to react, the giant lizard had somehow already pounced in front of him.
The giant lizard opened its bloody maw, rapidly filling the male warrior's field of vision.
A deep, instinctive fear appeared in his exhausted eyes.
"Aah!!!"
After the scream...
Outside the giant lizard's territory, a floating island spanning more than five hundred square meters collapsed with a deafening crash...
At the same time, a name quietly vanished from the territory points rankings.
Han Xing sat on a stool in his territory, silently watching the progress bar before him.
Exotic Beast Egg remaining incubation time: 0 hours, 30 minutes, 59 seconds...
"Soon. Just half an hour left!"
After a hundred hours of waiting, he would soon find out what creature was inside this black egg.
Han Xing felt excitement rising in his heart. He softly said, "This Exotic Beast Egg came from the Demon Lord. No matter what, it should hatch into a Legendary Grade pet for me, right?"
Upon hearing Han Xing's voice, the giant egg trembled slightly on the ground. Complex patterns continuously emerged over its black-and-gold shell.
The creature inside seemed to be eagerly longing to emerge as well.
But it was not time to hatch yet. With nearly half an hour left in the incubation period, Han Xing could only continue waiting.
Just then, a private message caught his attention.
Han Xing checked the name. It was Clever Little Sheep again.
He opened the private chat and saw the message she had sent.
Clever Little Sheep: "Star... Star God, do you... have time right now?"
Han Xing: "...Who taught you to call me that?"
Clever Little Sheep: "Huh? I saw everyone calling you that before... so I, I..."
Han Xing: "Forget it. What do you need?"
The other side seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. A moment later, Clever Little Sheep replied, "It's like this. While exploring a floating island today, I encountered a really powerful monster. It was a strange tree with lots of arms!"
"It took a huge effort, but after I barely managed to defeat it, I found a formula beneath the strange tree's roots."
"Then I looked at the information on it and thought you might have a use for it."
"A strange tree? Could it be a plant-type monster?"
Han Xing pondered for a moment. "And there's a formula? Send it to me so I can take a look."
"Mm-hm."
Clever Little Sheep sent you a trade request.
Han Xing: "..."
"Didn't I teach you that you could directly send item information in the private chat window? You don't need to trade?"
Clever Little Sheep froze, then came to her senses. "Huh? Oh, I forgot..."
Han Xing sighed. "Forget it. Put it up first."
After hearing Han Xing's instruction, Clever Little Sheep quickly placed a formula into the trade window.
Life Elixir Formula (Green): Records the method and required material ratios for crafting Life Elixir. Can treat severe injuries in one-star creatures and minor injuries in two-star creatures.
The instant Han Xing saw the formula's information, his eyes went wide.
This was actually a rare restorative potion formula!
Spirit Spring Water also had restorative effects, but compared to Life Elixir, its effectiveness was far inferior.
What did treating severe injuries mean?
As long as a survivor was not killed in a single blow or missing limbs, Life Elixir could pull them back from the brink of death.
At this stage, this thing was practically equivalent to having an extra life!
Han Xing suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "I'll take this formula. Name your price."
Upon hearing Han Xing say that, Clever Little Sheep seemed a little confused. After a moment, she hurriedly replied, "You... you misunderstood. I was planning to give you this formula. I don't want anything from you..."
This time, Han Xing was the one taken by surprise.
He knew that although the girl on the other side was a little airheaded, she was not stupid.
She could not possibly fail to understand the value of this formula.
If she threw this item into the Trading Channel now, those Large Teams would obtain it even if it cost them everything they had!
After all, there were currently no restorative items capable of competing with Life Elixir.
At this stage, Life Elixir was almost like the Spirit Spring Water from the previous two days—an irreplaceable resource among survivors.
And holding the only formula was practically equivalent to controlling the market. The value it contained was nearly immeasurable!
Yet she was actually saying she wanted to give it to him for free. Han Xing almost doubted his own ears.
