Chapter 279

It would be better to distribute the scores evenly, allowing all teammates to advance to the next level and receive more rewards.

At this moment, the four of them gathered on the lotus leaf, counting their spoils.

In the first forty minutes, they had taken down a total of 56 'Water Spirit'.

The total number of leaks is:

13 Growth Water Droplet (100 years old)

121 Rain and Dew Pearl

War Ancient Tree Seed (Gold) * 35

Treant Guardian Seed (Purple) * 162

Looking at the pile of materials and dew in front of them, the four of them showed joy at their harvest.

"How are we going to divide these spoils?" Shen Xing asked.

Upon hearing this question, the three remained silent for a moment.

Xu Jiayi said directly, "You've all helped me get into the leaderboard, so I don't need the loot dropped by the BOSS."

Qin Lang nodded in agreement, "Me too!"

They knew that without Xia Wanyin's scanning ability and Shen Xing's ferocious output, it would have been impossible to kill dozens of Boss in such a short time.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that it makes no difference whether they're there or not.

Shen Xing and Xia Wanyin have already made a huge profit by helping them get into the top ten.

If they were to ask for more spoils at this point, it would make them seem greedy.

"Hey? We're all teaming up, how can we not share the loot?" Xia Wanyin shook her head and said, "No way, no way."

Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi were stunned for a moment, looking at her with some disbelief.

But looking at the serious expression on the girl's face, it was clear she wasn't joking.

Shen Xing suggested, "How about this, if we go into the fourth level together, we'll most likely be matched onto the same map."

"All the spoils will be kept in my hands until the dungeon ends, then they will be distributed."

"How?"

Xia Wanyin nodded and said, "Okay, then let's distribute them all after the event."

Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi exchanged a glance, but had no objections.

"Okay, it's decided then."

Shen Xing nodded and said, "There are still more than ten minutes until the end of the third level of the secret realm. Let's keep sprinting and not get pushed off the leaderboard."

Qin Lang raised his hammer high and shouted excitedly, "Charge! Charge! Charge!"

After saying that, the four of them resumed their easy and efficient score-farming journey.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

One by one, the Demonized Water Elemental exploded, and the scores of the four players on the leaderboard began to steadily rise again.

The other lords also noticed their unusually fast monster-killing speed and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"More than half of the top ten are from Heavenly Star Nation. Are they going to dominate the rankings?"

"The main problem is that the four-person team is too outrageous; they've taken up four spots."

"How did they do that? I just observed for a while and realized that these people don't even need to search; they can find the Boss's location directly. It's unbelievable!"

"I suspect they likely possess some kind of detection method capable of accurately sensing nearby 'Water Spirit,' though the distance is still uncertain."

"Holy shit! Such an incredible method?! This is cheating, isn't it?!"

Anyone with eyes can see that their speed is abnormal.

They went straight for the bosses, not even bothering with acting anymore.

But even if you figure it out, it's useless.

As mentioned earlier, the Land of Mist are home to a wide variety of abilities and talents, and many players possess unique abilities.

These abilities may not be of much use in normal times, but they can immediately demonstrate their power in specific scenarios.

"We can't let these guys keep going, or we'll all be eliminated!"

"That's right, let's get started. The rewards on the third floor are on a completely different level from those on the fourth floor; we have to try and get them."

"Let's go, take them down, and we'll have four spots. Then it'll all come down to who has the best skills."

Some of the lords gripped their weapons tightly, seemingly unable to contain their urge to strike.

At this moment, another lord from a small country said, "Don't worry, gentlemen, someone will take action."

"After all, some people are even less willing than us to see them advance to the next level."

You mean... that one?

The other lords seemed to realize something and all looked towards a corner of the Lotus Pond Secret Realm.

On the other side.

A blue-haired man stood at the edge of a lotus leaf, waiting patiently.

"Pride! All the lords from Heavenly Star Nation have made it into the top ten," the young man said, withdrawing his gaze.

"I know." Lachlan nodded calmly. "It seems this guy's strength has improved significantly recently."

"A Tier Three orc hero, and that woman..."

He gazed at Shen Xing and the others fighting on the lotus leaves in the distance, his eyes lingering on the red-haired mage.

Besides apprehension, there was also a hint of barely concealed fear.

Last time in the Rain God Illusory Realm, this woman burned him to ashes with a single fire, and the pain he felt then is still fresh in his memory.

Moreover, she has broken through to the Tier Three, which has undoubtedly increased her offensive power and range by several levels.

Even now, Lachlan isn't confident he can survive in such flames.

Unless... we can kill her in one strike, without giving her a chance to unleash her power.

"Go, contact those lords in the top twenty."

Lachlan made his decision. "These guys have taken up four spots; I'm sure many people aren't happy with this outcome."

"If I add some more money, I think quite a few people will join me."

"At that time, no matter how strong he is, he won't be able to fight against so many of us."

A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.

Lachlan wasn't a fool; he naturally understood the importance of alliances and maneuvering, and of using one enemy to devour another.

Since we're going to take action, we need to be fully prepared and not give our opponents any chance to retaliate.

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

The young man's aura dissipated, his eyes turning white; he had clearly logged off to contact others.

For the next ten minutes or so, the atmosphere in this Lotus Pond Secret Realm became somewhat eerie.

When the lords saw Shen Xing and his group of four approaching, they all tacitly made way for them and then gathered in the direction of the other lords.

Some people watched them from a distance, their eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

Shen Xing naturally noticed the strange behavior of these lords.

But he didn't care and continued to lead his squad in a frenzied sweep.

After all, such a secret realm filled with treasures is rare; wasting even a minute would be shameful!

The four players' scores continued to rise steadily, and the gap between them and the first-place player, Lachlan, was constantly narrowing.

Time passed slowly, and soon another ten minutes or so had gone by.

At this moment, there are only 5 minutes left before the end of the third level of the secret realm.

On the leaderboard, all four of them have scored over twenty points, putting them far ahead of fifth place.

At this moment, many lords around them simultaneously began to move towards the lotus leaf where they were located.

"Shen Xing, these guys are getting impatient." Qin Lang looked around and said in a low voice, "They seem to be preparing to surround us."

Xu Jiayi and Xia Wanyin's expressions changed slightly, and they looked around with serious expressions.

Shen Xing glanced at it and said indifferently, "It's nothing, keep racking up points."

"Good."

Qin Lang responded and then looked away.

The other two beauties also refocused on grinding monsters.

They all believed the man; since he said he was fine, there was no need to worry too much.

Just as the group reached the edge of the lotus leaf and prepared to jump to the next one...

Suddenly.

A fireball hurtled towards them, hurtling towards them at breakneck speed!

Sensing the wind overhead, Leina raised her staff, and a huge fireball shot into the sky, instantly meeting the fireball head-on.

"Boom!!!"

A violent explosion erupted in the air, with flames and shockwaves sweeping in all directions.

Although the attack did not cause any real damage, it seemed to convey some kind of signal.

Players, leading their troops, converged from all directions, occupying the surrounding lotus leaves and completely blocking their path of advance.

Shen Xing glanced at them briefly and saw that there were at least twenty people.

Including their subordinate troops, their numbers have exceeded one hundred.

Moreover, these are not Common players.

Instead, it eliminated at least 95% of the top lords through a rigorous selection process.

Their troops are all elite, and Tier Three- Boss One Star and Boss are commonplace.

You can even see the figures of several hero units.

Although the other players did not participate in the attack, they all stopped and watched from the lotus leaves not far away, looking like they were about to see a good show.

Only a few players from the Heavenly Star Nation exchanged glances and nodded, as if they had made up their minds.

At this moment, the four of them stood on the edge of the huge lotus leaf, watching their surroundings warily.

Compared to Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi's nervousness, Shen Xing seemed quite calm.

He quickly assessed the strength of the attackers and gradually gained a better understanding of their capabilities.
