Overtaking the Competition: A Chance to Claim First Place!
Within the blood mist, countless dark shadows resembled numerous evil spirits.
Even with the naked eye, one can feel an immense sense of oppression.
A quick glance revealed that the number of monsters attacking today was several times greater than before.
"Waaah—"
With a short hiss, the fourth night's Blood Mist Frenzy arrived as scheduled.
A large number of corpse-white monsters burst out of the blood mist and ferociously pounced towards the area of firelight!
In addition to the previously most common Chaos Familiars Juvenile, Chaos Aberration, and so on, there are now many more unique monsters.
A group of 'Chaos Proliferation' with four arms, two heads, and covered in slime hopped forward.
Their two heads were turning in different directions, and each of their four limbs held a white bone knife. As they ran, new tumors kept splitting open on their bodies.
There was also a group of 'Chaos Thought Parasite' floating in mid-air, resembling miniature versions of Flying Brain, with tentacles inserted into the eye sockets of other Chaos monsters.
And a group of long, thin creatures that wriggled on the ground like large intestines.
These monsters were all types I had never encountered before, and they were all very powerful.
Most of them possess combat strength equivalent to Tier Three Elite or Boss Rank.
Among them were even quite a few Tier Four Boss One Star, and even Leader Rank monsters!
Shen Xing quickly scanned the area, his gaze narrowing slightly. "Sure enough, as the strength of my territory has increased, the intensity of the monster tide has also increased considerably."
"The quality and the quantity are absolutely Master Rank."
"However... if it's only this level of strength, it still doesn't pose much of a threat to me."
He looked behind him and said in a deep voice, "Leina."
"Whoosh!"
A fiery red figure soared into the air, its red hair dancing wildly like flames, and a monstrous heatwave swept outwards!
The Sun Goddess Domain is now open!
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
Any monster that steps into the territory is instantly ignited by dark red flames.
Thousands upon thousands of fireballs rose into the air, forming a vast, unbroken sea of fire!
"Bang! Bang bang!"
Numerous monsters were scorched beyond recognition by this pure flame, then exploded on the spot, creating a deafening roar.
In just over ten seconds, at least tens of thousands of monsters turned to ashes, and Shen Xing's points also increased by hundreds of thousands.
However, the monsters attacking today are significantly higher level and more resistant to fire.
Soon, a large number of Chaos Familiars broke through that sea of fire.
Dragging their burning bodies, they charged fearlessly toward the city wall.
But what awaited them was a dense array of arrow towers, cannons, and a hail of arrows.
In an instant, a large number of monsters were shot down on the spot.
Even some cunning monsters can burst into high speed and force their way to the vicinity of the city wall.
But below, a pack of ferocious orcs, Black Moon Knight, and wolf riders awaited them.
As the monster approached, the soldiers' eyes lit up, and they charged forward with roars, afraid that if they were even a second too late, they would miss out on the kill.
At this moment, under the triple onslaught of Leina's fire domain, defensive towers, and melee troops, the entire battlefield has been transformed into a high-speed meat grinder.
Every second, a large number of chaotic monsters are dying.
Soon, the battle situation around them stabilized.
[Your territory defense tower shot down 1524 Chaos Familiars, gaining 5824 points]
[Your territory hero: Leina Yenet has killed 9154 Chaos Familiars, gaining 35829 points]
[Your territory legion: The Silver Moon Knights have slain 3621 Chaos Familiars, gaining 14725 points]
[Your...]
Notifications kept scrolling across the screen, and Shen Xing's points were increasing at an alarming rate.
"Not bad. Based on this growth rate, I'm guaranteed at least three million points tonight."
"If we can keep this up, we might be able to break into the top 30 on the day the rankings are finalized!"
Keep in mind that during the previous three days of the Blood Mist Frenzy, his points had only just reached three million.
In other words, tonight's earnings are equivalent to the total of the previous three days.
Even so, he can only try to get into the top thirty.
There was nothing I could do; those people in front of me were just too freakish.
Except for the first day, when the points increase was relatively small, the daily increase was two to three million points, and it got higher every day.
The number one Sand Lord is even more outrageous.
He accumulated two million points on the first day, five million on the second day, and seven million on the third day. His current total points have exceeded 15 million.
As the difficulty of the monster groups increases, the points he earns each day will be even higher, making it impossible for him to catch up.
"Wait, something's not right!"
A sudden thought flashed through Shen Xing's mind, "No matter how much my territory's strength improves, it can never compare to those Masters and Grandmaster Rank who have accumulated experience over many years."
"The number of monsters attacking the fog each night is ultimately limited, and the points gained are also limited."
"And within the blood mist lurks an endless array of monsters."
"So, can I just rush into the blood mist and wipe out those monsters on a large scale?"
This idea could be described as somewhat far-fetched.
After all, it's currently the Blood Mist period, and the effect of the lantern is suppressed to the limit, so even a Grandmaster Rank expert cannot move around within it.
Not to mention rushing into the fog to fight monsters.
But.
Don't forget, besides the kerosene lantern, Shen Xing also has a very magical Lotus Lantern.
Its lights can even dispel the eerie white mist of the Blackwater River.
Can this blood mist be dispelled by the Lotus Lantern?
If possible, he could try a different way to farm monsters, and maybe he could even get ahead by taking a shortcut!
Chapter 273: Overtaking on a Curve, the Opportunity to Reach Number One!
After thinking it over, Shen Xing decided to give it a try.
Let's see if this mysterious Lotus Lantern can dispel this eerie blood mist.
He maneuvered his wheelchair to the foot of the city wall, then approached the surging tide of monsters, stopping 500 meters from the edge of the blood mist.
After all, the maximum range of the Lotus Lantern's flame is 1500 meters, or a radius of 750 meters, so it's not necessary to get that close to get the results.
Then, he directly lit the wick of the Lotus Lantern.
"Buzz—"
In an instant, a burst of bright green flame erupted, illuminating the surroundings.
The moment it came into contact with the blood mist, it was as if it had encountered blazing flames scorching ice and snow, instantly dispelling it.
As the blood mist dissipated, the dark earth within the mist, along with a large number of corpse-white monsters, were all revealed.
Upon seeing this, Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, then an overwhelming surge of joy welled up inside him!
"Excellent! The light from the Lotus Lantern really can dispel this blood mist, and it hasn't been weakened at all. That's fantastic!"
He had thought of this before, but hadn't tried it.
After all, with so many monsters charging at that time, Leina and Fordring couldn't break through, and even their defense was under pressure.
Not to mention charging into the fog and annihilating those monsters.
But now, he has six Master under his command, including a humanoid calamity like Leina and a super tank like Fordring.
Both its lethality and survivability have undergone a qualitative change.
Thinking of this, Shen Xing quickly took out the communication crystal and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Everyone, change tactics now!"
"Gorehowl, Luna, you two lead all units to defend the territory with all your might."
"Onyxia, you take me, Leina, Fordring, Hellscream, and charge straight into the Mist!"
Upon hearing this, the generals were immediately shaken, their eyes filled with shock.
They all knew how terrifying this blood mist was; just getting close to it gave them an instinctive sense of danger, as if touching it would mean certain death.
But now the lord says he's going to lead them into the fog, which is simply unbelievable.
However, considering this person's amazing abilities and various astonishing performances over the years, it's not surprising.
"Yes, my lord!"
The generals responded in unison and then quickly sprang into action.
"Whoosh—"
A massive Shadow Dragon descended from the sky and swiftly flew to the lord's side.
Shen Xing jumped onto her back.
Then she continued to command Onyxia to bring up the fire mage, the bald orc, and the old knight Fordring.
At this moment, the three heroes stood on the broad back of the dragon, their gazes fixed firmly on the young man sitting in the wheelchair.
"The next operational plan is as follows."
Shen Xing said in a deep voice, "I will first find those Flying Brain in the blood mist, and then everyone should act as quickly as possible to Execute these monsters and relieve the pressure on the territory."
"After we deal with the Flying Brain, we'll go to a more distant area to clear out more monsters. Understand?"
"Understood, my lord!" the three heroes replied in unison.
"Very good."
Shen Xing nodded slightly, then took out Captain Jack's Telescope from his backpack and looked around.
The lens shimmered with magical light, and through the thick blood mist, it quickly spotted its target.
About two kilometers away from the territory, a huge Flying Brain hovered in mid-air, its tentacles at the ends constantly wriggling, as if receiving some signal.
