The Sand Lord Strikes Back, Reclaiming First Place! (5,000) (Continued)
The middle-aged man remained silent; he did not refute this point.
"Hmph!" Conrad snorted coldly, a glint of violence flashing in his eyes. "Since you can't touch him, then I'll do it myself."
"I've already found out the location of that guy's territory; it's in the Blackwing Plains, only two days' journey from me."
"Once the Blood Mist Frenzy subsides, I will personally go and take his life!"
The Golden Eagle Kingdom's Master's expression changed slightly, and he quickly advised, "Conrad, don't be impulsive."
"Shen Xing is no ordinary lord. The fact that he can take the top spot on the leaderboard shows that his strength far exceeds our expectations."
Even if you can deal with Master, you might not be his match.
"Heh," Conrad scoffed. "Who said I was going to deal with him personally?"
"He possesses something that lord desires. If that lord makes a move, Shen Xing will undoubtedly die."
A cold smile crept across his lips as he peered through the thick fog of blood at the distant active volcano.
On the other side, in that desolate territory covered with yellow sand.
A man dressed in a black cloak, with a black cigarette dangling from his mouth, glanced at the rankings.
"Surpassed me? Not bad... this Blue Star isn't as vulnerable as I imagined."
"It seems this time, I'll encounter some interesting opponents."
"But before that, let me test your strength."
"Let's see if you can maintain this growth rate, or if it's just luck."
After saying that, he walked to the edge of the blood mist and then slowly squatted down.
From Da Mao's sleeve, a thin, dry right hand emerged and slowly pressed down on the ground.
At that moment, the earth began to turn into sand, centered on him.
The once-solid black soil quickly cracked and subsided, and even the rocks and minerals within it weathered away in a short period of time.
As desertification continues to spread, it has turned an area of dozens of miles into a sea of sand.
Countless monsters were still wandering in the blood mist, preparing to launch the next wave of attacks, when they were inexplicably swallowed up by the quicksand.
Meanwhile, on the leaderboard, the person ranked second suddenly saw their accumulated points surge dramatically!
Time passed slowly, and soon it was noon.
There are still twelve hours until the Blood Mist Frenzy erupts on the fifth day.
During the day, although there weren't many attacking monsters, quite a few lords were still trying to improve their rankings.
They attract more monsters to attack by making noise or dropping prey at the edge of the blood mist.
Clearly, this is an attempt to overtake others while they are resting.
Not only them, but other lords are also trying their best to kill more monsters.
The rankings on the leaderboard are constantly changing, and the higher you go, the fiercer the competition becomes.
The top 100, in particular, have maintained an alarming rate of growth.
The list changes almost every hour.
At this moment, a lord from the Red Sand World is chatting with others while fighting monsters.
He held a special red crystal stone in his hand, on which various unique characters from the Red Sand World flashed continuously.
[Red Sand World Alliance Channel]
Likes Peeing in the Sand: "Everyone, let's cheer up and try to get more people into the top 1000, and crush those guys from Blue Star!"
The Man Like a Cactus: "That's right, our Red Sand World is the strongest. Let them see what the spirit of the cactus is!"
Desert Hot Dog: "Hahaha, I've already made it into the top 900! Once the Myriad Worlds Arena opens, I'm definitely going to let those guys from Blue Star taste my hot dog!"
"..."
Messages flashed across the crystal slab as the lord of the Red Sand World strained with all his might to climb the leaderboard.
Just then, a message suddenly appeared.
"Brothers of the Red Sand World, look at the leaderboard! The Sand Lord is back in number one!"
The lords of the Red Sand World were immediately startled upon hearing this, and then they all clicked on the leaderboard to check it out.
[Two Worlds Leaderboard]
[First Place: Sand Lord (Red Sand World), Total Points: 20,423,600]
[Second Place: Shen Xing (Blue Star World), Total Points: 17,142,500]
[Third Place: Bashir - Burning Wind (Red Sand World), Total Points: 8,526,200]
[Fourth place...]
When they saw that the Sand Lord had over 20 million points, they were immediately taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, all sorts of information poured out of the crystal slab!
"Hahaha, the Sand Lord is back in first place! He's amazing!"
"As expected of the number one genius in our Red Sand World, he quietly gained another five million points!"
"That's incredible! They've overtaken the Blue Star World by three million points! Let's see how you catch up now!"
"The Sand Lord is invincible! The Red Sand World is invincible!"
"Keep pushing the leaderboards, brothers! Don't give Blue Star World any chance! Charge!"
"..."
The lords of the Red Sand World were incredibly excited, and all sorts of messages flooded their feeds.
The morale, which had been temporarily low due to the fact that the Sand Lord had been pushed back to second place, has now surged again.
Their confidence was boosted, and even the rate at which their points increased on the leaderboard improved significantly.
At the same time.
The lords of the Blue Star World also noticed the changes in the rankings.
They were excited for a while, and before they even had time to celebrate, Shen Xing was surpassed by the Sand Lord.
And being overtaken isn't the most crucial point; the crucial point is that it's still daytime!
Without the Blood Mist Frenzy, earning points is much more difficult than at night.
Yet the opponent still managed to rack up millions of points, which is simply outrageous.
It also sparked a great deal of discussion at the international forum.
The Breath of Freedom (IP Golden Eagle Kingdom): "This is not good. This Sand Lord is much stronger than we imagined. He didn't seem to be taking it seriously at first."
The Rooster Never Bows Its Head (IP France): "Yes, he's serious now, putting considerable pressure on Shen Xing."
Iced Vodka (IP Earth Bear Nation): "A three million point difference, and there's no guarantee he won't continue his efforts tonight. This is getting a bit troublesome."
"The Beef Balls Are Delicious (IP Heavenly Star Nation): "Sigh, I wonder if Shen Xing can withstand the pressure and come back tonight. It looks a bit difficult."
"..."
The crowd discussed amongst themselves, and for a moment, their spirits were low.
As Shen Xing was pushed down to second place, some sarcastic remarks began to emerge.
Park Chang-beom (IP Goryeo Nation): "Heh... I always said Shen Xing's success was just luck. Taking first place isn't that easy."
The cherry blossoms in my hometown are blooming again (IP Cherry Blossom Nation): "That's right, it was just a brief peak. Look how excited you all are. You've almost deified him in just one day."
Voice of Detroit (IP Golden Eagle Kingdom): "Haha! Those guys from Heavenly Star Nation, keep jumping! You can't jump anymore now, can you?"
"This Slash Will Be Cool (IP Heavenly Star Nation)!" "Does anyone really think Shen Xing can take first place? Really? Really?"
"..."
Upon seeing these comments, many lords of the Heavenly Star Nation instantly turned red with anger and launched a furious counterattack from their phones!
Immortal of the Keyboard: "What kind of idiots are upstairs? Even at a time like this, you're still mocking your own people. Don't you have brains?"
Clear Moon in the Long Night: "These bastards, I think they've been kneeling for too long and can't stand up anymore. They just can't stand seeing their own people rise up."
Box Strike: "I've memorized all these guys' IDs. I'll open the boxes one by one, and then settle accounts with them all after the Blood Mist Frenzy ends!"
Song of Zaun: "Well done! These guys are born traitors. If a real fight broke out, they'd probably be the first to surrender to the enemy. They should just be killed!"
"..."
The crowd was agitated, sending out all sorts of messages, and the international forum was in complete chaos.
Despite their argument, they gradually calmed down as time went by.
Although what those guys said was harsh, one thing they did say was true.
The lords of Blue Star were ecstatic. Shen Xing's brief ascent to the top had already caused the whole world to jubilate as if they were about to win.
This is not good.
As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall; Common can revel and be excited.
But as lords, they still need to recognize the facts.
The power of the Red Sand World is still overwhelmingly superior to that of the Blue Star.
Moreover, even if Shen Xing wins first place, he will still have to compete in the ultimate showdown at the Myriad Worlds Arena to win the unique World Origin.
Of course, this did not discourage the lords of Blue Star; they simply resolved to work even harder to earn more points.
I'll strive to be among the top 1,000 and represent Blue Star in the battle!
With this in mind, most lords around the world adjusted their mindset and began a new round of sprint.
In that underground base, the leaders of the three major powers looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had planned to hold a press conference that afternoon to publicly apologize to Heavenly Star Nation in front of the world.
Now that this incident has suddenly occurred, they are somewhat hesitant.
