Chapter 278
Xia Wanyin thought for a moment and replied, "About one hundred and ten."
Everyone: "!!!"
"Good heavens, there are so many!" Shen Xing exclaimed in surprise; the quantity far exceeded his expectations.
Based on the experience from the previous levels, after an hour, the maximum number of lords killed would not exceed twenty.
If they can eliminate most of these hundred-plus 'Water Spirit', even if the four of them split the kills equally, making it into the top ten wouldn't be difficult at all.
After all, in the Lotus Pond Secret Realm, the lords spend most of their time searching for the BOSS.
If this step can be skipped, efficiency will increase several times or even ten times.
"In that case, let's change our tactics."
Shen Xing made a quick decision. "Let's move together, with my unit taking the main damage output, and Xu Jiayi's Golem helping to tank damage in front."
"We'll take turns taking down the final boss."
The three nodded in unison.
"Very good, let's begin, sprint!"
Shen Xing waved his hand, and the four of them, along with their troops, headed straight for a patch of lotus leaves not far away.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the Lotus Pond.
A blue-haired man led his troops, standing unhurriedly at the edge of the lotus leaf, waiting.
Before long, three or four lords arrived from different directions, gathering together with their troops.
Soon, more than twenty figures stood on the lotus leaf, each exuding a powerful aura.
Lachlan's gaze swept over the lords, finally settling on the disheveled man, a smile playing on his lips.
"Alright, let's begin. Each of you take one unit from my forces and search the surrounding area for the Water Elemental Boss."
"Remember to leave the final blow to me. I want to take first place with an absolute advantage and then advance to the fourth level."
The group exchanged glances and responded in unison, "Yes!"
After saying that, they split into small teams and went their separate ways.
Lachlan stood leisurely in place, waiting for his points to increase.
Beside them, a man glanced at the rankings, then at the blue-haired man, and tentatively asked, "Pride, Shen Xing from Heavenly Star Nation seems to be here too. Should we...?"
He wiped his neck, a murderous glint in his eyes.
Lachlan glanced at him and chuckled, "Heh, what's the rush?"
"Isn't kicking him out so early too easy?"
"Keep an eye on him for a bit. If Shen Xing doesn't make it into the top ten, send a few kills to him."
"Wouldn't it be more interesting to crush him in the last few minutes, when he thinks he's about to advance?"
The man paused for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Shen Xing, keep going, the fourth lotus leaf."
Xia Wanyin's gentle voice rang in my ears.
"Good."
Shen Xing responded and led the team to the lotus leaf location she had indicated, without stopping at all.
Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi initially had some doubts in their eyes, seemingly not believing that anyone could accurately find the hidden 'Water Spirit' among the countless lotus leaves.
And the moment they stepped onto that lotus leaf.
"Splash..."
The water droplet in the center began to spin rapidly, and columns of water rose from the lake surface, all converging on the lotus leaf.
In the blink of an eye, an army of more than fifty Water Elemental appeared.
While the two were still in shock, Shen Xing had already instructed Leina to prepare her ' Fireball Spell.
The Demonized Water Elemental had just appeared.
"Boom!!!"
A mushroom cloud rose from the lotus leaf, the force of the explosion sweeping across the land.
The flames dissipated, and all the Water Elemental Elite were instantly melted, leaving only the Water Elemental Boss, severely wounded and dying, his flowing body trembling violently.
Shen Xing ordered in a deep voice, "First Qin Lang, then Jiayi and Wanyin, and last me. Attack now!"
"Okay, sure!"
Qin Lang also snapped out of his shock and immediately controlled the Master of Shadows to rush forward and finish off the enemy.
With a "pop," the massive body of the Water Elemental Boss instantly collapsed.
On the leaderboard, Qin Lang's points also increased by 1.
Shen Xing released his mental hand, sweeping away the spoils on the ground and collecting them into his backpack in a whirlwind.
[Received: Growth Water Droplet (100 years) *1]
[Received: 3 Rain and Dew Pearl]
[Obtained: Tree Spirit Guard Seed (Purple) *8]
Sure enough, the drop rate of the Boss monster on the third floor was much higher.
"Wanyin, where's next?" Shen Xing asked, turning around.
"To the right, the thirteenth lotus leaf," the girl in the white dress replied immediately.
"Good."
After saying that, the four-person team sped off again, heading straight for the location she had mentioned.
Sure enough, as soon as the group stepped onto the lotus leaf, the water droplet at the center began to spin, transforming into a large army of Water Elemental.
Then, Leina, along with other damage dealers, quickly eliminated them.
At this moment, Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi were truly certain that the girl in the white dress possessed the terrifying ability to accurately locate the Water Elemental Boss.
This is simply unbelievable.
It was as if all the 'Water Spirit' was laid bare before her, rendering the so-called concealment utterly useless.
This also indirectly demonstrates the girl's trust in them, or rather, her trust in Shen Xing.
After all, a normal person with such extraordinary abilities would definitely keep it a secret, afraid that others would find out.
She told Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi, two complete strangers she had just met, directly.
All of this was because she believed in Shen Xing.
At this thought, a complex expression appeared on their faces.
Xu Jiayi, in particular, seemed to be thinking of something, and she nervously tugged at the hem of her clothes.
But before they could think further, Shen Xing's voice rang in their ears. "Jiayi, it's your turn."
"Good."
Xu Jiayi also came to her senses and immediately ordered the Bayonetta next to her to take action, ending the Water Elemental Boss with a single arrow.
Next, they experienced what it meant to experience rocket-like speed.
Under Xia Wanyin's guidance, the time it used to take four or five minutes to kill one has been reduced to twenty or thirty seconds.
Including the time spent fighting, the entire process took no more than a minute.
"Boom! Boom boom!"
Violent explosions echoed continuously, accompanied by terrifying heat waves.
Each time the flames dissipate, a Demonized Water Elemental is inevitably taken away.
On the leaderboard, the four are neck and neck, steadily progressing in their respective positions.
In just over ten minutes, all four of them made it into the top twenty and are still climbing higher.
Soon, there were only twenty minutes left before the end of the third level of the secret realm challenge.
At this moment, the rankings on the leaderboard have also undergone significant changes.
[Lotus Pond Secret Realm - Third Floor]
[First Place: Lachlan Dalton, Points 21]
[Second Place: Xia Wanyin, Points 15]
[Third Place: Shen Xing, 14 points]
[Fourth Place: Xu Jiayi, Points 14]
[Fifth Place: Qin Lang, Points 13]
[Sixth Place: Wu Hun, Points 12]
[...]
[10th Place: Wu Wen, 9 points]
The names of Shen Xing and his three companions completely dominated the rankings from number 2 to number 5!
Chapter 185: The true colors are revealed, and the attack on Shen Xing begins!
At this moment, Shen Xing and his three companions have completely dominated the rankings, occupying positions 2 through 5!
With the addition of two more lords from the Heavenly Star Nation, the Heavenly Star Nation essentially occupies the majority of the top ten spots on this ranking.
Although there is still Lachlan above, who leads the pack with a score of over 20.
But nobody cared.
Because everyone knows that this guy got first place by having other teammates sacrifice their own points.
If we were to compare them in this way, Shen Xing and his team could even achieve a score of 60 points, creating a gap of several times over.
But that's pointless, since there's no extra reward for first place.
