Chapter 193

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Xing clicked "OK".

"Crackling..."

The chains loosened and transformed into a black lightning bolt, swiftly striking towards Shen Xing.

As usual, he raised his right hand, letting the chains wrap around his wrist.

Then, in the next second, he was drawn in by the Flower of Mist, swallowed up, and vanished without a trace.

Leina watched this scene from the side, a hint of doubt and contemplation flashing in her jewel-like eyes.

Xia Wanyin was blind and therefore unaware of what had happened.

He merely frowned slightly, as if he thought that Shen Xing was now burdened with yet another chain.

"Splash..."

The two-meter-tall Rain God Statue collapsed, turning into mud and water that seeped into the soil.

In a patch of yellow mud, there is a pure water droplet and dozens of ancient seeds.

"Huh? There are so many seeds this time?"

Shen Xing was overjoyed and then pocketed all the spoils.

[Received: Rain and Dew Pearl (Gold) *1]

[Received: Treant Warrior Seed (Blue) *25]

Okay, it turns out to be a blue-quality 'Treant Warrior'.

I thought it was a purple-quality 'Treant Guardian', but I was wrong.

However, this unit type is also quite good. It belongs to the nature element and has strong combat and survivability capabilities.

I glanced at the attributes.

[Treant Warrior Seed]

[Quality: Blue]

[Rank: Tier One]

[Effect: Plant it in your territory, and after seven days of nurturing, a level 5 'Treant Warrior' will grow to assist in battle.]

This unit has a potential rating of Common ★★★ and possesses skills such as 'Tree Root Heavy Strike' and 'Ancient Bark'.

"A level 5 Common 3-Star unit is quite different from Treant Guardian."

"But its advantages lie in the large quantity and short cultivation time, so it's alright."

Shen Xing first put all the seeds into his backpack, planning to distribute them after today's exploration.

Next, they began a frenzied sweep.

The Fried Chicken maintained its high-speed cruising mode, carrying the three of them as they continuously weaved through the fog.

"Fly three kilometers further east; there's a resource point there."

"Fly southwest, there's another resource point."

"North, yes, that's it! I can sense the Rain God Statue!"

Along the way, Xia Wanyin kept pointing out directions, her voice filled with excitement.

Clearly, even she had never experienced such a highly efficient exploration mode before; it was simply too exciting.

All you need to do is point out the location, Fried Chicken will arrive in a very short time; all they need to do is light up the resource points.

This is the real sweep mode!

On the way, Shen Xing also discovered a secret about Xia Wanyin.

That is—

Her detection capability has a maximum detection range of about three kilometers.

Of course, this range is already terrifying, equivalent to carrying a full-map scanning radar with a radius of three kilometers.

Almost no hidden resource points could escape her detection.

This woman is practically a walking resource harvester.

Time flew by during the efficient exploration, and four or five hours passed in the blink of an eye.

After a morning of frantic sweeping.

They searched all the resource points within a radius of more than ten kilometers around their territory, and the minimap was filled with countless green dots.

Shen Xing tallied the number of resource points on the map.

There are 24 Black Crystal Tower, each capable of producing 4 units of Black Crystal per day, for a total of 86 units of Black Crystal.

There are 21 Green Crystal Tower, with a total daily output of 90 units.

Fifteen Afterglow Sacrificial Tower can produce 240 units of Fire of the Afterglow per day.

In addition, there are three Black Iron, two medium-sized logging camps, and two quarries.

And the medium-sized Soul Stone Mine discovered this morning.

Without Xia Wanyin's assistance, even if Shen Xing had [Jack's Telescope] to see through the fog, it would still take at least four or five days.

Besides that, there was the harvest from the Rain God Statue.

They found a total of seven statues.

The items obtained include:

Rain and Dew Pearl (Gold) * 14

Ancient Tree Guard Seed (Purple) * 12

Treant Warrior Seed (Blue) * 65

There is also a golden quality seed: Seed of the Ancient Tree of War (Gold) *2.

After being planted and nurtured for a whole month, it can directly grow into Tier Two- Boss Rank Ancient Tree of War, possessing four major skills, making it extremely powerful.

Thanks to their perfect teamwork, today's expedition was incredibly successful.

Xia Wanyin's humanoid self-propelled radar is responsible for locking onto targets, while Fried Chicken's high mobility allows them to quickly reach their positions.

Then, Shen Xing will unlock the Rain God Chain and receive the highest reward without any cost.

Under normal circumstances, Common lord might not even find a single [Rain God Statue] in a day, let alone sweep through the entire area.

Shen Xing divided these resources equally with Xia Wanyin, and kept one extra Treant Warrior Seed for himself.

Xia Wanyin sensed the spoils in her backpack, a satisfied smile on her face, "Today's harvest is truly enormous, more than I've obtained in the past week."

"Thank you so much, Shen Xing."

Shen Xing smiled and said, "I should be thanking you."

This woman helped him light up so many resource points and find so many statues; strictly speaking, Shen Xing still benefited.

Of course, they've already collaborated so many times, there's no need to fuss over these minor details.

"You're welcome. You're my friend, and it's only right to help a friend," Xia Wanyin with an innocent smile.

She paused, then continued, "However, we have already explored all the Rain God Statue and resource points within a radius of over ten kilometers."

"If we want to continue exploring, we'll have to go further afield, but we might also encounter even stronger monsters."

Shen Xing also noticed this.

Whether it's his territory or Xia Wanyin's territory, the level of monsters appearing nearby increases in a step-like manner.

The farther away you are, the higher the monster's level and the stronger it is.

Today, when they flew over an unfamiliar black forest, they even sensed the aura of peak Tier Two and even Tier Three monsters.

For safety reasons, I ultimately took the Fried Chicken and left that place.

Shen Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Let's stop here for today. Go back and digest the resources, and we'll explore a different direction tomorrow."

He had dinner plans with Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi today.

Judging by the time, the two should be arriving soon.

Xia Wanyin thought for a moment, then suggested, "Okay, let's go check out the place marked on the treasure map together tomorrow?"

Shen Xing also remembered this. Not long after the Rain God expansion was released, she found the location of the treasure map and invited her to explore it together.

Now that the expansion has ended and the surrounding resource points have been unlocked, it's time to go and explore them.

"Where exactly is the place you mentioned?" Shen Xing asked.

"It's in that mountain range to the north."

Shen Xing's heart skipped a beat. "You mean... the Black Sky Wing Mountain Range?"

"Mmm." Xia Wanyin nodded. "However, you need to go two or three kilometers deeper into the mountains, to the bottom of a canyon, where there's a hidden entrance."

"Follow the entrance downwards, and you'll find the underground ruins."

Shen Xing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there and take a look tomorrow."

"Yay!"

Seeing that Xia Wanyin happily clenched her little fist again.

Just as the two had finished discussing their exploration plan for tomorrow and were preparing to return to their territory...

Suddenly.

An invisible force rose from the ground, and Shen Xing instantly felt his body become heavy.

It was as if an invisible giant hand was pulling them down forcefully.

"Chirp!"

The Fried Chicken let out a startled cry, flapping its wings frantically, struggling to maintain its balance.

At the same time, the black earth beneath their feet began to rise violently and crack, with muddy clods of earth churning to both sides.

Immediately afterwards, enormous fingers burst forth from the ground like tombstones.

"Puff! Puff puff puff!"

The fingers were covered with wrinkles, and the nails were grayish-white, each as thick as an adult's waist.

When all the fingers emerged completely from the ground, a deformed monster resembling a giant's severed hand, but with eight or nine fingers, appeared in their field of vision.

[Adult Finger Worm]

[Level: 13]

[Potential: Elite ★★]
