Chapter 73

They then maintained the same formation and faced wave after wave of monster attacks.

The second wave consisted of a group of Lost One and Fel Hound, numbering an astonishing fifty. Among them was an Elite One Star Lost One, which was easily Execute by Da Hou.

The third wave introduced a special monster that looked like a mass of moving black slime, reaching level 5 or higher, and its potential had reached the level of Common 3-Star.

The fourth wave is slightly more difficult, featuring Elite Two Stars Dark Goblin leading dozens of Goblin in a massive attack.

The fifth wave introduced the Fallen Overseer monster, and there was more than one, causing the difficulty to skyrocket.

By this point, some people had already given up and crushed their crystals, leaving the stage.

"Buzz... buzz..."

In the waiting area plaza, streaks of white light appeared, revealing the figures of the players.

Their faces were ashen, and several of them had horrifying bloodstains all over their bodies, clearly indicating that they had just escaped death.

At that moment, the mature woman in charge of registration slowly walked over.

She gently raised her hand, and a bright light suddenly rose behind her, like a sun rising slowly, causing everyone to instinctively close their eyes.

As the golden light dissipated, a tall woman clad in a platinum robe and wearing a holy crown appeared.

The opponent hovered in mid-air, lightly tapping his scepter, and golden light rained down like raindrops.

The injured players all felt waves of warmth wash over them, and their injuries healed rapidly.

Even the abnormal statuses caused by the monsters vanished instantly at that moment.

"It's a healing-type class, the Oracle Priest!"

"Such a powerful effect! It even easily Purification the 'corruption' status caused by the Elite Lost One."

"I know her. Senior Jiang Rong is the only Expert Rank lord in our Jiangcheng with healing abilities."

The novice players were amazed, their gazes towards the mature woman filled with longing and admiration.

"Go and rest." The mature woman who had summoned the oracle priest waved her hand gently, her voice magnetic and warm.

They all nodded and stepped aside.

As players left the game, the screen gradually went dark.

Half an hour had passed since they officially entered the secret realm.

There are now about 82 players left out of 100, meaning 18 have been eliminated.

Moreover, as the challenge waves increase, the difficulty skyrockets, and the number of eliminated players also continues to soar.

The sixth wave, the seventh wave, the eighth wave...

"Buzz... Buzz..."

One by one, the contestants crushed the crystals in their hands and left the stage in disappointment.

On the large screen, the remaining display area is decreasing.

Fifty-seven people...

Forty-three...

Thirty-one people...

An hour later, less than twenty people remained, struggling to hold on.

"Just one more wave, just one more wave!"

A young man, covered in blood but with eyes full of resentment, declared, "If we can hold out until the ninth wave, there's a chance we'll get breakthrough materials!"

"Mom, can't I still do it?"

The other players were also very unwilling to give up; those who could persist to this number of waves were already among the best of the new lords.

Many players have already trained their main units to level 9 and have been stuck at Tier One for two or three months, or even more than half a year.

They were just waiting to obtain some advanced materials in the Mist Void Realm to break through their limits.

Unexpectedly, this Endless Mode was so difficult that most people were forced to quit after seven or eight waves.

Don't be discouraged, you've done a great job.

Elder Wang smiled and comforted her, "It's alright even if you don't obtain breakthrough materials in the secret realm."

"The top thirty players in this dungeon will each receive a breakthrough material as a gift from the Jiangcheng official team."

"The top twenty, the top ten, and even get exclusive mystery building rewards."

Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in everyone's eyes.

They all looked at the large screen not far away, next to which was a leaderboard.

The record contains detailed information such as the participant's name, the number of waves they completed, and the duration of their commitment.

Based on this data, a ranking from 1 to 100 was created.

"Damn, I'm 28th! That was close! I almost missed the top 30!"

"Haha! I'm ranked 25th, I have breakthrough material!"

"Thank you to the leaders of Jiangcheng, thank you to the country!"

Some players were overjoyed to see their rankings.

Those ranked outside the top 30 were filled with regret.

However, they quickly composed themselves, after all, being able to enter the Mist Void Realm was an opportunity in itself.

Many players have already acquired a considerable amount of resources in the previous eight rounds of challenges.

There's nothing you can do if you're not as skilled as others; you can only try harder next time.

Meanwhile, within the Mist Void Realm.

After a tough battle, the remaining dozen or so players have basically finished the eighth wave of challenges.

Most of them are in very poor condition right now, and their troops have suffered heavy losses.

The area where Shen Xing was located was also in a state of chaos, with a large number of monster corpses slowly dissipating in the firelight.

The orc squad and the halfling squad sat on the ground resting, their bodies covered in claw marks and bloodstains.

The three lords themselves had also exhausted a great deal of their mental energy, their faces ashen.

"Hey guys, give me two of these."

Qin Lang suddenly took off his black shoulder bag and pulled out three walnut-sized, wrinkled fruits.

"These are Brain Fruit?" Shen Xing, somewhat surprised, then said, "I've already eaten three; eating more won't do any good."

Xu Jiayi also shook her head, indicating that she had already eaten her fill.

Qin Lang explained, "This isn't to increase your attributes."

"I saw on the forum that while taking Brain Fruit multiple times won't further increase mental energy, it can restore a significant amount of mental strength."

"We've used up too much energy; if we don't replenish our supplies, we might not be able to hold out for the next wave."

Shen Xing and Xu Jiayi were slightly taken aback, but they understood Qin Lang's plan.

However, isn't it a bit too extravagant to use Brain Fruit, which cost tens of thousands of yuan each, only for restoring mental alertness?

But then I thought about it again.

The monsters in the Mist Void Realm have a high drop rate, and they have already obtained a lot of resources.

If we can hold on a little longer, the gains will definitely make up for the consumption of the Brain Fruit.

The two of them didn't refuse and took the Brain Fruit directly, stuffing it into their mouths.

As the fruit pulp entered my throat, a cool sensation rose from my abdomen and went straight to the top of my head.

My previously drowsy mind instantly cleared up.

"Hiss..." Shen Xing shook his head, his eyes gradually clearing. "I must say, this Brain Fruit is really effective."

Xu Jiayi glanced at Qin Lang's black shoulder bag and asked suspiciously, "You knew we would encounter this situation, so you prepared in advance?"

"Haha, no, not at all."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "It's just better to be prepared. I'm worried about encountering some unexpected events during this Void Realm challenge, so I prepared some supplies in advance."

"I just happened to get some more gold coins from the old man this time, and before coming here I bought some fruit scrolls and stuff from the Player Association, which will come in handy now."

Before they could continue their conversation, heavy footsteps sounded again, as if some enormous creature was rapidly approaching.

"Pfft... Pfft..."

In the thick fog, several tall silhouettes were faintly visible, and a stench of decay wafted over.

"They've arrived."

Shen Xing's voice was slightly deep, and the other two also perked up.

Under their watchful eyes, four or five extremely bloated monsters, whose bodies seemed to be pieced together from different animal organs, slowly stepped into the firelight.

"It's Abomination, so much of it!" Qin Lang exclaimed instinctively, his face turning pale.

Chapter 62: Break into the Top Ten, Advancement Materials!

"It's Abomination, so much of it!" Qin Lang exclaimed in shock.

These monsters all have at least the potential to be Elite Three Stars, and their level is above 5.

The last time we encountered one at the mall, it showed the three of us how formidable it was.

Seeing so many appear at once instantly puts me under pressure.

Moreover, their troops have been through a series of fierce battles and are now in very poor condition.

Shen Xing frowned slightly and glanced at the girl next to him wearing Hatsune Miku T-shirt. "Jiayi, how's your Golem unit training going?"

"There's one Elite Three Stars Golem, the rest are just Common Two Stars," Xu Jiayi replied quickly.

Shen Xing glanced at her with some surprise, then continued, "Elite Three Stars Golem should have no problem withstanding these Abomination's attacks."

"Let's adjust our formation now. I'll summon a squad of skeleton archers to provide support from the back, and you summon golems to act as the front line, giving the other units a break."

Xu Jiayi nodded solemnly, then activated the Flower of Mist on her wrist without hesitation, and gray mist gushed out.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so stone figures, seemingly pieced together from white boulders and possessing short, thick limbs and heads, emerged from the mist.

One of the stone figures was five or six meters tall, its entire body seemingly constructed of granite, with a pair of yellow eyes that gleamed faintly.

Shen Xing also summoned twelve skeleton soldiers, led by the Elite Three Stars Black Arrow.

"Damn, I knew you two had something up your sleeve!"

Seeing that they had summoned so many powerful units again, Qin Lang said resentfully, "They even trained their second unit to Elite Three Stars, that's too much!"

Shen Xing and Xu Jiayi exchanged a smile.

As they summoned their units, the Abomination, dragging their bloated bodies, rapidly approached.
