By now, the Ironhide Brown Bear had been worn down to exhaustion by Han Xing and Meiqiu.
But it had to be said that its vitality was truly formidable. Even after fighting this long, it was still stubbornly clinging to its last breath.
At this stage, it was impossible for any survivor to defeat it alone.
Even if someone could, they would likely pay a terrible price.
Han Xing had not suffered much damage, but that was mainly because Meiqiu had borne the greatest pressure at the front.
If he had truly faced it one-on-one, he would probably have been slapped into a pile of mush already.
The Ironhide Brown Bear was this powerful, so the other level 5 Elite Monsters could not be much weaker.
"Still, it's a good thing it isn't level 6." Han Xing felt somewhat relieved.
In Sky Island Paradise, level 5 to level 6 was a dividing line.
Level 6 monsters were often far stronger than level 5 monsters in every attribute. Ordinary adventurers simply had no ability to challenge monsters above their level.
However, once survivors reached level 6, they would also receive a considerable boost—not only in attributes, but also in equipment.
After players reached level 6, the equipment crafted from blueprints would have much stronger attributes than equipment made before level 5, though it also came with an equipment level requirement.
Before level 5, players could wear any equipment they crafted freely.
But after level 6, equipment you crafted could only be equipped by other survivors who had reached level 6.
At this point, the Ironhide Brown Bear was at the end of its rope and was about to be finished off by Han Xing.
Just then, the Ironhide Brown Bear suddenly forced itself to take a breath, raised its paw high, and terrifying power began gathering within it.
Han Xing immediately realized that it wanted to use the area-of-effect skill, Bear Paw Slam.
But how could Han Xing let it have its way?
Wind Chaser Arrow!
Whoosh!
The arrow pierced directly into the brown bear's eye socket.
Headshot!
Fatal Damage!
The Ironhide Brown Bear's massive body slowly collapsed.
The System Prompt arrived.
You have killed Ironhide Brown Bear lv5 (Elite Grade). You gained Experience Points*500, and pet 'Meiqiu' gained Experience Points*400. Your level has increased. Current level: LV5 Pet 'Meiqiu's level has increased. Current level: LV4
"Whoa, I leveled up again!"
In just one morning, Han Xing had risen two levels in a row. The experience he gained was almost equal to his total from the previous five or six days!
He glanced at his attributes. Strength and Agility had each increased by 4 points, while Spirit and Constitution had each increased by 2 to 3 points. Not bad.
But when he saw Meiqiu's attributes, he immediately became a little unsettled.
Pet Information: Void Dire Wolf (Juvenile) Race: Void Clan Level: LV4 Strength: 15, Agility: 25, Spirit: 14, Constitution: 13
"Good lord! The attributes you gain from one level are comparable to me gaining three levels. You little thing really are developing toward a boss-level stat sheet, aren't you?"
Meiqiu looked at him blankly. Having won the battle, the Wolf Cub was also extremely excited and kept pawing at Han Xing's boots.
At the same time, a familiar System Prompt appeared once more.
You have killed the Elite Monster in this area. You may now explore higher-level areas.
At the same time, the number of clouds in the distance suddenly increased several times over. Han Xing even saw quite a few clouds spanning hundreds or even thousands of square meters.
"Oh? So this brown bear was the strongest monster in this area?"
Han Xing lowered his head and pondered. "Looks like I'm probably the fastest survivor in District 107 to deal with an area boss. Otherwise, their points would have soared long ago."
Then, Han Xing led Meiqiu to the corpse of the giant brown bear.
He tapped Decompose, and a System Prompt appeared.
Successfully decomposed Grizzly Back Bear corpse. Recovered Fine Iron Arrow*45. Obtained One-Star High-Quality Animal Hide*1 (Damaged), Thick Bear Meat*964kg, Bear Paw*2, Beast Heart*1, Blood of the Strong*20, Strength Crystal*7, Berserker Bear Potion Recipe*1.
Hmm?
Han Xing's heart moved. The earlier items were ordinary, but he noticed the final prompt.
"Berserker Bear Potion Recipe?"
Thinking of this, Han Xing looked eagerly at the pile of loot on the ground.
Beneath that enormous bear hide, he indeed saw a yellowed paper recipe.
After picking it up, a System Prompt appeared.
Would you like to learn the Berserker Bear Potion Recipe?
"Yes."
The next moment, Han Xing saw a second potion recipe appear in the recipe section.
Berserker Bear Potion: After consumption, gain the blessing of powerful berserker bear strength, increasing your 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
"Increases Strength by 30%?" Han Xing was somewhat surprised.
Calculated according to a Hunter's ratio of 1 point of Strength to 2 points of attack power, his current 18 points of Strength meant an additional 5.4 Strength, or nearly 11 attack power.
That was almost comparable to the boost from a weapon. The effect could be called astonishing!
"With this potion, it's equivalent to increasing my attack power by at least 20% in battle. The returns are pretty good!"
Han Xing said excitedly, "And this is only the boost it gives the Hunter class. For melee classes like Warriors, where 1 point of Strength equals 3 attack power, the increase would only be greater!"
"Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun should both be able to use this."
With that in mind, Han Xing crafted 100 bottles of Berserker Bear Potion on the spot.
He had plenty of materials now, so there was no shortage!
Then, he found Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun and traded 20 bottles to each of them.
He also told them to keep pushing up the rankings.
With this potion, their attack power would greatly increase, and they would also explore the sky islands much faster.
At that moment, Han Xing glanced at the rankings.
After merging the brown bear's territory, his territory points increased by more than 60 square meters, breaking through 800 points in one go and directly entering the top ten!
Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun were not to be outdone. Their rankings were also rising rapidly.
Cheng Jianyong in particular, as a Warrior, saw his attack power soar after obtaining the Berserker Bear Potion!
At this moment, he looked as though he had been pumped full of adrenaline, his ranking constantly skyrocketing.
It had taken him an hour to climb from 37th place to 25th.
However, after he began using the Berserker Bear Potion, he gained more than 50 points in just half an hour and charged straight into the top twenty!
This rate of growth was even close to catching up with Han Xing.
In the Chat Channel, the survivors were already shocked beyond measure.
Someone swallowed saliva and said quietly, "How exactly did these guys do it?"
"Since when did District 107 have so many monsters?"
His tone was full of disbelief, and many survivors shared the same thoughts.
"Let's not even talk about Xinghe. He gained more than 200 points in three hours, and not long after that, he suddenly gained nearly another 60 points."
"But what's going on with Lonely Hero and Yun Tianming? How can they also gain over a hundred points per hour?"
No one could answer.
At this moment, someone said, "Whispers of the Gods and Papaya Star Spirit's points still haven't changed. What exactly are these people doing?"
"Could Xinghe really catch up and reclaim a spot in the top three?"
Hearing this, the survivors from Whispers of the Gods and Airplane Boy Band all felt their hearts sink. They had thought Whispers of the Gods, Papaya Star Spirit, and the others had victory in the bag.
But now, they could not help feeling nervous for Whispers of the Gods and Black Hawk!
