By now, the Ironhide Brown Bear was completely exhausted by Han Xing and Coal Ball.
But it has to be said, its vitality was truly formidable. Even after fighting this long, it was still clinging to its last breath.
At this current stage, no survivor could possibly defeat it in a one-on-one fight.
Even if there were, they would likely pay a heavy price.
Although Han Xing hadn't suffered any serious injuries, the main reason was that Coal Ball had taken the brunt of the pressure.
If he had faced it alone, he would probably have been turned into mincemeat.
If the Ironhide Brown Bear was this strong, the other Level 5 elite monsters wouldn't be far behind.
"Still, it's a good thing it's not Level 6," Han Xing said with some relief.
In Sky Island Paradise, Level 5 to Level 6 was a watershed.
Level 6 monsters were often significantly stronger than Level 5 monsters. Ordinary adventurers simply didn't have the ability to challenge them across levels.
However, survivors also experienced a significant boost when they reached Level 6, not only in terms of attributes but also in equipment.
After players reached Level 6, the equipment they crafted from blueprints had a much larger stat increase compared to before Level 5. However, there was also a new restriction: equipment level requirements.
Before Level 5, players could freely equip any gear they crafted.
But after Level 6, the equipment you crafted required other survivors to reach Level 6 before they could equip it.
At this point, the Ironhide Brown Bear was at the end of its rope, about to be finished off by Han Xing.
Just then, the Ironhide Brown Bear suddenly mustered its last bit of strength, raised its bear paw high, and terrifying power brewed within it.
Han Xing immediately realized that this guy was trying to use the area-of-effect skill 'Bear Paw Slam'.
But how could Han Xing let it have its way?
Wind Chaser Arrow!
Whoosh!
This arrow pierced directly into the brown bear's eye socket.
Headshot!
Critical damage!
The Ironhide Brown Bear's massive body slowly collapsed.
A system notification appeared.
[You have killed Ironhide Brown Bear lv5 (Elite), gaining 500 experience points. Pet 'Coal Ball' gains 400 experience points.] [Your level has increased. Current level: LV5] [Pet 'Coal Ball's level has increased. Current level: LV4]
"Whoa, leveled up again!"
In just one morning, Han Xing had leveled up twice! The experience he gained was almost equivalent to his total experience from the previous five or six days!
He glanced at his attributes. Strength and Agility each increased by 4 points, while Spirit and Constitution each increased by 2-3 points, which was pretty good.
But when he saw Coal Ball's attributes, he couldn't help but be a little unsettled.
[Pet Information: Void Dire Wolf (Cub)] [Race: Void Clan] [Level: LV4] [Strength: 15, Agility: 25, Spirit: 14, Constitution: 13]
"Good lord! The attributes it gains per level are comparable to my gains from leveling up three times! Are you really developing into a boss-level character, you little thing?"
Coal Ball looked at him blankly. Victory in battle made the little wolf cub very excited, and it kept pawing at Han Xing's boots.
At the same time, a familiar system prompt reappeared.
[You have killed the elite monster in this area and can now explore higher-level areas.]
At the same time, the number of clouds in the distance suddenly increased several times. He even saw many clouds with areas of hundreds or even thousands of square meters appearing.
"Oh? This brown bear was the strongest monster in this area?"
Han Xing lowered his head and pondered, "It seems I should be the survivor in District 107 who cleared the area boss the fastest. Otherwise, their scores would have skyrocketed long ago."
Then, Han Xing led Coal Ball to the corpse of the giant brown bear.
He then clicked on decompose, and a system prompt appeared.
[Successfully decomposed Grayback Brown Bear corpse. Recovered 45 Fine Iron Arrows, obtained 1-Star Quality Beast Hide *1 (Damaged), obtained 964kg Thick Bear Meat, obtained Bear Paw *2, obtained Beast Heart *1, obtained Blood of the Strong *20, obtained Strength Crystal *7, obtained Berserker Bear Potion Recipe *1]
Hmm?
Han Xing's heart stirred. The previous items were ordinary, but he noticed the last prompt.
"Berserker Bear Potion Recipe?"
With that thought, Han Xing looked at the pile of loot on the ground with anticipation.
Beneath that enormous bearskin, he indeed found a yellowed paper recipe.
Upon picking it up, a system prompt appeared.
[Learn the Berserker Bear Potion Recipe?]
"Yes."
In the next moment, Han Xing saw a second potion recipe appear in his recipe list.
[Berserker Bear Potion: Upon consumption, grants the user a powerful Berserker Bear buff, increasing Strength by 30% for 100 seconds.] [Materials required to craft the potion: Blood of the Strong*10, Spirit Core*5, Tiger Bone Herb*1, Strength Crystal*1]
"Increase Strength by 30%?" Han Xing was somewhat surprised.
Calculating based on a Hunter's 1 point of Strength equaling 2 points of Attack Power, his current Strength of 18 points would translate to 5.4 Strength, or nearly 11 points of Attack Power.
This was almost comparable to the boost from a weapon, making the effect quite astonishing!
"Having this potion is equivalent to increasing my Attack Power by at least 20% during combat, which is a pretty good return!"
Han Xing exclaimed excitedly, "Moreover, this is just the boost it gives to the Hunter class. If it were a melee class like Warrior, where 1 point of Strength equals 3 points of Attack Power, the increase would only be greater!"
"Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun should both be able to use it."
With that thought, Han Xing immediately crafted 100 Berserker Bear Potions.
He had plenty of materials now, so he wasn't lacking!
Then, he found Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun, trading 20 potions to each of them.
He also told them to continue pushing up the rankings.
With this potion, their Attack Power would be greatly enhanced, and their speed of exploring Sky Island Paradise would also increase significantly.
At this moment, Han Xing glanced at the leaderboard.
After merging the Ironhide Brown Bear's territory, his territory points directly increased by more than 60 squares, instantly breaking through 800 points and directly entering the top ten!
Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun were not to be outdone; their rankings were also rapidly rising.
Especially Cheng Jianyong, as a Warrior class, his Attack Power skyrocketed after receiving the Berserker Bear Potion!
He was practically on steroids, his ranking constantly soaring.
It took him an hour to climb from 37th place to 25th place.
However, after starting to use the Berserker Bear Potion, he only needed half an hour to directly increase by more than 50 points, breaking into the top twenty in one fell swoop!
This rate of increase was even catching up to Han Xing.
In the chat channel, the survivors were utterly shocked.
Someone swallowed and whispered, "How the hell are these guys doing it?"
"When did District 107 get so many monsters?"
His tone was full of disbelief, and many survivors shared the same sentiment in their hearts.
"Xinghe is one thing, increasing by more than 200 points in three hours, and now not long after, he's increased by nearly 60 points again."
"But what about that Lonely Hero and Yun Tianming? How can they also achieve an increase of over 100 points per hour!"
No one could answer.
At this moment, someone said, "The points of Whisperer and Papaya Star Spirit haven't changed. What are these people doing?"
"Could it be that Xinghe can really catch up and reclaim the top three positions?"
Hearing this, the survivors of Whispers of the Gods and Airplane Boy Band felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. They had thought that Whisperer and Papaya Star Spirit were already sure to win.
But now, they couldn't help but feel nervous for Whisperer and Black Hawk!
