"A day? I was unconscious for so long?"
The Whisperer endured the sharp pain in its chest and asked, "Cough, cough... what happened? Did someone already take first place? Was it Black Hawk or Papaya Star Spirit?"
Moonlit Cat quickly replied, "It wasn't Black Hawk or Papaya Star Spirit, it was Xinghe!"
"It only took them a little over three hours to skyrocket by three hundred points, and then they took first place at a terrifying speed!"
"Not only that, but the second and third place rewards were also claimed, one by someone called Lonely Hero, and the other by Yun Tianming."
"People in the chat channel are guessing that they might be a group!"
The Whisperer was also surprised to hear this, "What!?"
However, as soon as it got excited, it couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The Whisperer quickly closed its mouth, its face pale.
Moonlit Cat on the other end clearly noticed that something was wrong and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"
The Whisperer wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth and said with difficulty, "Forget about the ranking rewards for now, I'm injured, seriously injured!"
"If I don't get treatment in time, I won't last long."
"What!?" Moonlit Cat was shocked and quickly asked, "Boss, is the Spirit Spring Water useless?"
The Whisperer gritted its teeth and said, "Useless!"
"Spirit Spring Water can only treat minor injuries, I'm too badly injured now, I need a more powerful recovery item!"
It paused and continued, "Moonlit Cat, I need to ask you to do something."
"Concentrate the resources of the entire team and do everything you can to find items with healing effects for me. If you can't find any, ask for help on the trade channel, and find a way to trade for them, no matter what."
"Remember, no matter the cost!"
"Then go tell the brothers that the elite monsters in the new area are stronger than ever before, and they're tough as nails. Without recovery items, we can't take them down at all!"
Moonlit Cat realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately hung up the private chat to quickly report the situation to the team members.
However, at this stage, there were very few items with healing effects other than Spirit Spring Water.
Some were even less effective than Spirit Spring Water.
Moonlit Cat was extremely anxious, so it posted a message on both the chat channel and the trade channel.
['Whispers of the Gods' team is offering a large reward for healing items and potions, willing to trade a Blue Greatsword in exchange.]
At the same time, another large team, the 'Airplane Boy Band', also posted the same request for purchase.
However, their offer was even more astonishing, directly offering a Blue Bracer Schematic.
The entire District 107 channel was instantly shaken.
At this stage, the value of blue equipment was self-evident.
Even Han Xing and his team hadn't found any blue equipment before receiving their ranking rewards.
In the chat channel, some survivors discussed, "Both major teams are looking for healing items, and they're even willing to offer blue equipment and schematics. Did something happen to their leaders, the Whisperer and Papaya Star Spirit?"
This guess was probably very close to the truth.
Although many of them were tempted by the conditions offered by the two major teams, none of them had healing items of sufficient value.
Late into the night, as more and more survivors reached the 900-point mark, they inevitably encountered the area boss.
Elite monsters of at least level 5 made them experience what despair was.
Many people's equipment wasn't even as good as the Whisperer's, and they were severely injured or killed outright by the elite monsters.
Some survivors who were lucky enough to survive complained bitterly on the local network.
"Damn it! The elite monsters in this area are too terrifying. Their stats are so high, and they're so tough. How are we supposed to fight them?"
"Upstairs, me too. I finally managed to inflict a little damage on that elite monster at the cost of injury, but the monster went berserk and didn't give me a chance to fight back..."
"Stop complaining. We're lucky to have escaped with our lives. Look at the leaderboard. Many people's names have disappeared. They're probably dead..."
At this time, they noticed that many people's names had indeed disappeared from the leaderboard, and they felt a chill run down their spines.
Being able to escape with their lives after encountering elite monsters was already a stroke of luck.
Other survivors were shocked.
At this point, they also understood the early-stage map generation mechanism of this world.
Each survivor's area had a powerful monster. Without defeating it, a new map couldn't be generated, and they couldn't break through 1000 points.
The system had set this data limit in stone.
At this time, someone asked.
"Is there really no way to deal with this area boss since it's so powerful? Logically speaking, the system wouldn't set us up with an enemy that we can't defeat in the early stages, right?"
After this person asked, the chat channel fell silent. This was also what many people wanted to know.
At this time, a weak male voice sounded in the chat channel.
"Cough, cough... this friend is right, the system won't set us up with an unbeatable enemy."
The speaker was Papaya Star Spirit, the leader of the Airplane Boy Band, who also frequently posted strategy guides and had a good reputation in District 107.
As it spoke, the other survivors held their breaths, wanting to hear its opinion.
At this moment, Papaya Star Spirit said, "Ahem... to be honest, I also encountered an elite monster, but I'm ashamed to say that I barely managed to escape with my life from that monster."
As Papaya Star Spirit, who had consistently been in the top three for the past few days, it certainly had the strength.
Its words made the other survivors raise the perceived danger level of this area boss by another two notches.
Papaya Star Spirit continued, "However, this failure was not without its rewards."
"Through my observations over this period, I've found that the attributes of the monsters you've encountered should be about the same, and I've come to a rough conclusion."
"To defeat this Level 5 elite monster, you need at least a Green Main Weapon to deal damage to it. This is a hard requirement; don't even think about it if you don't have one."
"If you have other Green Gear, it can increase your margin for error. Besides these, you also need good combat awareness."
"However, more importantly, you must have healing items, or you must have healing skills!"
"Otherwise, when the monster goes berserk, everyone will inevitably take damage. Without healing items, you simply cannot continue fighting."
After Papaya Star Spirit finished speaking, the chat channel was filled with gasps of cold air.
At this time, others said.
"So that's how it is. The elite monsters in this area are so terrifying?"
"You must have recovery items, or you can't clear it at all?"
"Then how did Xinghe and Lonely Hero get through it? Could it be that they have recovery potions in their hands?"
This person guessed correctly; Han Xing did indeed have a large number of Life Elixirs.
Many people thought of this at the same time, and for a moment, everyone's focus was on Han Xing.
That night, Han Xing's private messages exploded!
They were all desperately hoping for the recovery potions in Han Xing's hands!
