Wow, there are quite a few familiar faces here.
Shen Xing glanced at the rankings and spotted many familiar names.
Besides Xu Jiayi, Qin Lang, and Xia Wanyin.
And his rival, Lachlan, is also there.
This is quite normal.
Although there are many Tier Two lords worldwide, the total number is estimated to be only a few hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.
After two rounds of advancement, only a few thousand people remain at most.
It's not surprising that they bumped into each other.
At that moment, my phone started buzzing again in my pocket.
I took it out and glanced at it.
"Haha, Jiayi, you're here too! Now our trio is all together again." (Cilantro Who Loves to Play)
"With our three swords combined, we'll Sweep the entire third level of the secret realm!"
I Eat Eat Eat Eat and sending a few helpless emojis. "Don't count on me, I don't have much fighting power left."
"The first two levels wiped out most of my forces, barely allowing me to squeeze into the top ten. Now I only have two men left."
"Don't worry, we have Shen Xing, don't we?" Qin Lang laughed. "We just need to wait for him to carry us."
Shen Xing also sent a message: "Let's talk later. Let's meet up first and then discuss tactics."
OK!
The two quickly replied and went online to take action.
In addition to the messages in the discussion group, Xia Wanyin also sent a voice message.
Take Her Eyes With You, she said, "Shen Xing, it seems we've been matched! How lucky!"
Shen Xing smiled and said, "That's pretty lucky. So, want to team up again?"
"Yes, of course I want to!" Xia Wanyin replied without hesitation, "We're the perfect team!"
"Okay," Shen Xing replied, then said, "It's not convenient for you to see, so I'll bring some people to meet you."
"It's more inconvenient for you, so I'll come and meet you," Xia Wanyin said. "Besides, I've already memorized your scent; I can smell it from several kilometers away."
Shen Xing found it strange. What did he mean by "can smell it from kilometers away"? Was he a dog?
"Okay, then come find me."
He didn't stand on ceremony much; they were already quite familiar with each other anyway.
After agreeing on the plan, their consciousness returned to the Land of Mist, where the vast 'Lotus Pond' secret realm appeared before them.
Shen Xing noticed that the lords around him had all begun to take action.
However, they were not searching for the 'Water Spirit', but rather heading towards other lords.
It seems there are quite a few small groups involved.
Damn it, these top players are already so strong, yet they still band together and isolate me, a newbie who's only been playing for three months!
That's absolutely outrageous!
Oh, I have a small group too. Never mind then.
While observing the movements of the surrounding lords, Shen Xing approached Xia Wanyin.
Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi also converged on him from different directions.
Just as Shen Xing jumped onto the fifth lotus leaf, the water droplet in the center began to spin rapidly.
"Splash..."
Columns of water rose from the lake surface, fell onto the lotus leaves, and coalesced into a Water Elemental army of more than fifty people.
Behind them, there was a Demonized Water Elemental was over seven meters tall, resembling a water giant.
Shen Xing looked up.
[Water Elemental]
[Level: 29]
[Potential: Elite ★★★]
[Water Spirit - Demonized Water Elemental]
[Level: 29]
[Potential: Boss ★★]
The difficulty of the third level has increased significantly.
"The Elite monsters' levels were immediately maxed out, and the Boss's potential was also increased to two stars."
"Furthermore, the map attribute suppression has been increased from 10% to 15%, making it very difficult even for some lords with several Tier Three units to fight."
Shen Xing quickly analyzed the situation.
Not only him, but other lords had also encountered the Water Elemental army at this time.
And then there's Qin Lang, that unlucky fellow, who was stopped after only a few steps forward.
Moreover, since he was being teleported to a new map and Hellscream wasn't with him, he felt very insecure!
He exclaimed in the discussion group, "Holy crap, a two-star Water Elemental Boss Two Stars, I can't beat it!"
"Brother Hellscream, Brother Hellscream, where are you?!"
Shen Xing quickly replied, "If we can't win, we'll run. We'll sacrifice one unit to cover our retreat."
"Okay, sure."
Qin Lang also reacted, raising his longsword, a point of white light condensing at its tip: "Go, Shadow Stab, offer your power!"
The white light entered the body of a halfling assassin, causing his aura to surge wildly, breaking through the Tier Two limit and reaching the Tier Three strength in the blink of an eye.
Then, the halfling assassin raised his twin daggers and charged headlong into the Water Elemental army, which outnumbered him many times over.
At that moment, he looked like a lone hero facing death, his small, thin figure appearing so imposing.
Even if a thousand troops lie ahead, even if hell lies ahead, I will never turn back.
Though there be millions, I will go!
"Smack!"
With a crisp explosion, the Demonized Water Elemental unleashed a water bullet, blasting it into fragments.
Although it only lasted for 5 seconds, it bought their lord time to escape.
Qin Lang rode an inflatable hippo and led his halflings to jump onto another lotus leaf.
Shen Xing glanced at it, then looked away and focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him.
It's called a response, but it's actually the same as before: let Old Knight Fordring tank the damage in front, and let Leina unleash fireballs to clear out the monsters.
The difference is that these bosses used to be able to withstand two fireballs, but now they can withstand three.
Moreover, Onyxia next to her is no pushover either. As an assassin known for her explosive power, and also a Pureblood Dragon, her damage is no weaker than Leina's.
"Collapse--"
A clear cracking sound rang out, and a black line snapped in mid-air, signaling the death of this Demonized Water Elemental.
"Splash..."
The seven-meter-tall Water Elemental body collapsed with a roar, like a giant water balloon being punctured, turning into a shower of water droplets that fell onto the lotus leaves.
Shen Xing used his mental energy to collect the spoils on the ground, as usual.
[Received: Growth Water Droplet (100 years) *1]
[Received: Rain and Dew Pearl *2]
[Received: War Ancient Tree Seed (Gold) *2]
The items that were dropped were similar to those on the previous floor, only in significantly larger quantities.
"The returns are pretty good."
Then, Lord Shen continued to lead the squad towards the team members.
The other three were also moving, and the distance between the four was rapidly closing.
Soon, Shen Xing stopped on a huge lotus leaf in the southeast direction of the Lotus Pond.
A moment later, Qin Lang, along with the last 'Master of Shadows', jumped up on his Foul Gas Hippopotamus.
The first thing this guy did upon arriving wasn't to look for Shen Xing, but instead he went straight to Hellscream and grabbed the orc's leg.
"Brother Hellscream, I've finally met you!"
Chapter 184: Dominating the Rankings, the Sister of Condemnation Xu Jiayi!
"Brother Hellscream, I've finally met you!"
Qin Lang grabbed the orc's leg and cried, "There are powerful monsters everywhere here. I feel so unsafe without you by my side!"
Hellscream scratched his bald head and looked at his lord with a blank expression.
