Chapter 79
The Blackwater Greataxe, carrying immense force, slammed into the monster's chest and the human face.
The axe blade sliced through flesh and blood, piercing the spine, and the powerful impact poured into that hideous body.
The Human-Faced Demon Bird trembled violently.
The next second.
"Bang!!!"
It felt like a bomb had exploded inside my body, instantly scattering blood, flesh, and bone fragments everywhere.
Wind Walk with 100% critical hit bonus + Charged Heavy Strike + Hope's Plume.
With the triple enhancement, Hellscream's attack power was amplified to a terrifying level.
At this moment, both the Mist Void Realm and the park parking lot fell into a brief silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the orc figure that had folded its bat wings and slowly landed in the middle of the pool of blood, speechless for a long time.
It took several seconds for him to gradually come to his senses.
"That's... a Boss Rank orc!?"
"Definitely, otherwise how could they Execute the Boss Rank Human-Faced Demon Bird?"
"How did he do that? Isn't it said that orcs can only advance to Elite Three Stars at most?"
"Didn't you see the wings on that orc's back? He must have obtained some special treasure and mutated."
Everyone suddenly understood, and the shock in their hearts deepened.
The members of the Anomaly Handling Bureau nearby were also deeply impressed.
"I never expected that this little guy would actually be hiding a Boss Rank combatant."
"No wonder he dared to challenge the eleventh wave of Endless Mode; he had this trump card all along."
"Yes, it's truly rare to cultivate Boss Rank creature at the Tier One."
Elder Wang, who was standing to the side, slowly lowered his hand and looked at the man in the trench coat. "Zhou Zheng, you knew all along that this Shen Xing had a trump card?"
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly with a calm smile and said, "Yes, Deputy Director Wang, all of this is within my expectations."
He screamed inwardly, "What do I know?!"
Although he knew Shen Xing might be holding back, he originally thought that it was already quite good that the kid had an Elite Three Stars unit.
As a result, he not only pulled out a bunch of Elite Three Stars units, but now even Boss Rank units have appeared.
"Excellent." Elder Wang nodded with satisfaction. "You've discovered a rare talent for Jiangcheng this time."
"I'll go to the resource center later and see if I can get you an Expert Rank advancement material."
Zhou Zheng trembled, suppressing his overwhelming joy, and quickly said, "Thank you so much, Deputy Director Wang!"
Upon hearing this, the personnel from the Anomaly Handling Bureau looked at Zhou Zheng with even more envy.
At this moment, Jiang Rong stared at the screen and said softly, "Are they still planning to continue the challenge?"
No one spoke when asked this question.
They thought the ninth wave was their limit, but these people actually broke through the tenth wave.
They thought the tenth wave was the limit, but they ended up breaking through the eleventh wave as well.
Who the hell knows if these people will pull out even stronger cards and create another miracle?
The Realm of Mist.
Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi also recovered from their initial shock.
"Holy crap!" Qin Lang's eyes widened. "Shen Xing, is that the orc you summoned in the mall? It's already reached the Boss Rank!"
Xu Jiayi stared at him in shock, uttering, "Monster."
Shen Xing shook his head and smiled, "Let's see what exploded first."
The two of them came to their senses.
Looking around, one could see many valuable items scattered around the spot where the strange bird had died.
The most eye-catching thing was the soul that floated in mid-air, radiating a dazzling light.
Beside it was a dazzling, magnificent-looking gem.
In addition, there was a pair of sharp claws gleaming with a cold light, as well as a large pile of Soul Stone, silver coins, and other items, a dazzling array.
Qin Lang swallowed hard and immediately ordered the halflings to collect all the spoils of war and wrap them in a black garment.
"Shen Xing, shall we continue?" Xu Jiayi turned and asked.
Shen Xing thought for a moment and said, "Let's retreat. I have a feeling the next wave of monsters will be very powerful, possibly even reaching the Transcendent Rank."
He still has trump cards up his sleeve, such as the Dretch Legion and the Drum of Invigoration.
But if they were to face Transcendent Rank monster, they wouldn't be so sure of themselves.
Moreover, summoning so many units at once has pushed them to their physical and mental limits.
So I'd rather not take the risk.
"Okay, let's retreat."
Then, the three quickly severed their mental connection, and the figures of all the soldiers became illusory before dissipating into wisps of mist.
Then, they crushed the crystal, and a special blue energy enveloped their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, my vision shifted, and the world spun around me.
"Buzz..."
When they regained their sight, they were already in the parking lot of Mingyue Bay Park.
As soon as they came out, they felt many eyes gathering around them.
The three turned around and immediately saw many figures appear around them, quickly surrounding them.
"What the hell are you trying to do?!" Qin Lang instinctively clutched the package he was carrying tighter.
He thought these people were there to steal his spoils, so he immediately assumed a fighting stance.
However, the surrounding crowd remained silent, only watching them with complex expressions.
At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing a gray trench coat stepped across the crowd.
"Captain Zhou, you're here too." Qin Lang, as if he had found a savior, quickly pushed Shen Xing over.
Zhou Zheng nodded, a smile of appreciation on his face, "The three of you were quite good; you really stole the show this time."
Then, with Zhou Zheng's explanation, they understood what had happened.
It turns out they made it through the eleventh wave, not only taking first place but also sweeping the top three spots.
No wonder the other players were looking at them like that.
Even Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi felt like they were dreaming when they heard that they had made it into the top three.
At this moment, the kind-faced old man, Elder Wang, also came over.
He glanced at everyone and slowly said, "First of all, congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the Mist Void Realm challenge."
"In this challenge, I witnessed the fighting spirit of the younger generation as they bravely fought against the enemy and pushed their limits."
"We also witnessed the outstanding performances of several talented new lords in the Void Realm."
"Jiangcheng is brimming with talent, which makes me very gratified."
The old man's deep voice silenced everyone, and they all turned to look at him.
"However, as I said before, you must ensure your safety while pushing your limits."
Elder Wang's tone shifted, his voice becoming serious. "As you've all seen, even in this lowest-difficulty one-star secret realm, even with teleportation crystals, people still tragically lose their lives."
"As you all grow stronger, you will encounter even more powerful and terrifying enemies."
"Recently, we have detected a surge in fog energy levels in the skies above major cities in Hua Country."
"It's not long before it develops into a large-scale smog disaster covering multiple cities."
The parking lot was silent; everyone was listening attentively.
After a pause, Elder Wang softened his tone. "I'm telling you all this not to frighten you, but to hope that while you maintain a spirit of exploration towards the mist, you will also have a sense of awe."
"Only in this way can we survive in the increasingly chaotic future and ignite the spark of hope for Civilization."
A solemn and serious expression appeared in the eyes of everyone present.
Next, Elder Wang spoke a few more words, explaining some of the ranking rewards.
Then he turned around and left with a group of personnel from the Anomaly Handling Bureau.
The players chatted for a moment, then dispersed.
Many players also flocked to Shen Xing's side, surrounding them and asking all sorts of questions.
They might ask for their contact information or inquire about their business development.
Several other players handed out their business cards, inviting them to learn more about their companies when they had a moment.
However, all the players were talking to Shen Xing and Xu Jiayi.
Qin Lang stood quietly to the side for a long time, but no one paid him any attention, and his eyes grew increasingly resentful.
Damn it! I'm in the top three too!
Why hasn't anyone asked me?
Everyone could see that although the three of them were in the same team, there was still a significant difference in their abilities.
Qin Lang only manifested one Three-Star Elite and one Two-Star Elite from beginning to end.
It's not bad for the Common player, but compared to the other two, it's nothing special.
At this moment, a man wearing a black T-shirt walked up to Shen Xing and politely said, "Hello, I'm Gu Feng."
"Your performance has truly broadened my horizons. It's been many years since Jiangcheng has had a player who has cleared eleven rounds of Endless Mode."
Shen Xing knew this person; it seemed he had an Expert Rank lord as his father, and therefore a very powerful background.
"You flatter me, I was just lucky," he said modestly.
"Luck is also a form of strength." Gu Feng smiled slightly, then got straight to the point. "Would you gentlemen be interested in joining a chat group?"
What chat group?
"It was created by me and a few friends," Gu Feng explained. "It gathers the most outstanding geniuses in Jiangcheng in recent years, and even some Transcendent Rank and Expert Rank lords."
"People exchange game experiences in there, and occasionally some expert players share strategies that might be helpful to you."
Shen Xing suddenly realized that this group sounded pretty good.
There are Expert Rank experts among them; perhaps we can actually obtain some useful information.
After all, while you can find most game guides on forums, as a public platform, the information available is mostly familiar to everyone.
