Chapter 85 Hellroar Evolves Again, Mirror Killing Array!
"The drop rate is pretty high! There's a complete soul and an upgrade material."
"The two items together are worth over five million."
Shen Xing sighed inwardly, "As expected of a superhuman monster."
If I had a few more of these, I could achieve financial freedom very quickly.
However, besides these spoils, there was also a special item.
Shen Xing took it out, and an old-fashioned manual that had been torn in half appeared in his hand.
I glanced at the attributes.
【The Evil Eye Experiment Diary (Fragment)】
[Type: Book]
[Diary entries: Click to view]
[Effect: Allows reading, and increases Spirit attribute by 1-3 points after complete reading]
[Reading time: 3 hours and 12 minutes (can be read in segments)]
"This diary entry contains a lot of information."
Shen Xing seemed to be deep in thought, and then looked at the memorized contents again.
A moment later, he put the diary back in his backpack, planning to go to the forum later and study it carefully with some background information.
"Come over here and clean up the battlefield, check all the traps."
"Everyone be on high alert and prepare to face more enemies."
Shen Xing gave the order in a deep voice, because he had a premonition that the appearance of this evil eye might only be the beginning.
As the gray rain continues to fall, the monsters in the mist will become increasingly frenzied, and at that time, even more and stronger monsters may attack their territory.
The troops sprang into action, clearing the battlefield and filling in the deep craters.
Just as Shen Xing was pushing his wheelchair, preparing to return to his territory, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a furtive figure at the edge of the firelight.
Its massive body was curled up, its wings half-open to cover its head, and it was squatting on the ground, doing something unknown.
"Fried chicken, what are you doing?" Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair up behind him and suddenly asked.
"Chirp!" The fried chicken was startled and quickly turned around and shook its head to indicate that it hadn't done anything.
But its puffed-out cheeks and the swallowing motions in its throat gave it away.
Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and glanced behind it.
This was the original battlefield between the Black Moon Knights and the lost ones, and the ground was littered with broken corpses.
However, the number of corpses seems a bit off.
Shen Xing suddenly realized something: "You rascal, were you sneaking a bite just now?"
"Chirp chirp—" The fried chicken shook its head, then nodded.
Shen Xing's lips twitched, then he said, "These monsters have all been corrupted by the mist. Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"
"Chirp chirp—(They—don't taste good—)"
The fried chicken took a step back, and where it had been standing, appeared a black canine figure, about the size of a calf and entirely black.
"You mean the corpses of the Lost Ones aren't tasty, and they only eat evil hounds?"
"Chirp chirp!" The fried chicken nodded vigorously.
Shen Xing pondered for a moment. If it were eating those lost souls, he might have stopped it, since these monsters looked too much like humans.
But if it's just eating evil dogs, then there's nothing to worry about.
"Go ahead and eat, you don't need to sneak around."
"Ee-li~"
After receiving permission from its owner, the fried chicken immediately flapped its wings happily and circled around Shen Xing.
Then, it eagerly picked up the corpse of the evil dog from the ground, opened its mouth, tilted its neck back, and disappeared.
One bite at a time, like eating a small snack.
Crunchy and chicken-flavored.
Shen Xing found it increasingly strange. Why did he feel that the creatures in this world were somewhat abnormal?
But no matter how you look at it, this is a good thing.
This guy eats so much, I'm really worried about where to get him food.
Now, things are even better; they're having a buffet right in the fog.
Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair back into the territory.
My phone vibrated; it was a message from Xia Wanyin.
"Shen Xing, how's it going on your end? I just encountered a very strong monster in my territory, it's at least a level nine boss level, it scared me to death!"
Upon seeing the message, Shen Xing realized that the monsters' attacks in the mist had indeed become even more ferocious.
However, the leader on their side was a superhuman level leader, while Xia Wanyin's side had a trainee level leader.
Could it be that these attacking monsters are also attacking based on territorial strength?
After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing replied.
Then open the forum.
Sure enough, there were many posts about the Mist Monster Riot and the significant increase in difficulty.
Widespread rainfall has occurred in the Misty Lands; experts advise players to minimize outdoor activities and focus on defending their territory.
"Damn it! My newly built city wall was blasted halfway down by two superhuman monsters! They're monstrous!"
"Holy crap! This evil eye's skill is disgusting! It turned into a little girl to lure me in, but thankfully I have an iron will."
The last time such a large-scale abnormal weather event occurred was ten years ago, when tens of thousands of lords died. It seems that many more territories are about to fall.
"————"
Shen Xing scanned through the posts and saw that they were all discussing the rain in the Misty Land and the monster riots.
No one was discussing the real world.
But looking out the window at the endless gray drizzle, I still felt some doubt.
He sent Xia Wanyin a message: "Is it raining where you are?"
The other party quickly replied, "What are you talking about? Our territories are so close, if it's raining where you are, it's bound to rain here too!"
"I mean, is it raining in the city where you live?" Shen Xing asked.
"Oh, no," Xia Wanyin said. "The weather seems a bit gloomy and the air is quite humid, but it hasn't rained yet."
""
Shen Xing suddenly realized that he had been overthinking things.
After thinking for a moment, he decided not to think about it too much.
-
Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up; there's also the anomaly handling bureau up there.
If there were any problems, they would definitely react immediately.
Shen Xing was just an ordinary player and couldn't change anything.
I put my glasses back on and switched my focus back to the game.
Shen Xing looked up at the mini-map.
The yellow dot representing Hellscream is still exploring the outside world and has already advanced about six or seven kilometers.
The map now features some new terrain markers, including forests, ruins, and the outlines of several houses.
"Hellscream explored quite far this time; I wonder if he discovered any special areas."
Shen Xing murmured to himself.
At that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from the center of the territory.
It was as if a pent-up volcano had erupted, and a powerful wave of heat swept over everything.
Looking back, a red-haired figure slowly rose from the flames, surrounded by tangible flames that formed a fiery hurricane.
However, with a gentle wave of his hand, the red-haired figure dissipated all the flames and returned to his body.
[Your territory hero, Lena Yenet, has successfully broken through to Tier 2, raising her level cap to 19!]
[This breakthrough grants a 100% increase to all attributes]
[Talent: Enhanced effects of Flame Aura and Flame Domain]
A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Xing's face. In this way, he would have two extraordinary combatants in his territory.
As usual, I took a look at Lena's new attributes.
[Hero: Lena Yenet]
[Level: 9 (Tier 2)]
[Potential: Leader ★]
[Detailed attributes: Click to view]
"The improvement from Tier 1 to Tier 2 is indeed exaggerated; my mental attribute has soared to 450."
"It's a pity this woman won't use her fire power; otherwise, with such high mental attributes, a single fireball would cause tremendous damage."
Shen Xing sighed softly, somewhat regretfully.
This woman doesn't use magic; she relies solely on close combat, making her only slightly stronger than a typical second-tier elite.
This is only because her attributes increased dramatically after breaking through to the second tier; otherwise, she would not even be as good as an elite of the same level.
But it doesn't matter, since Shen Xing just wants her [Flame Aura] effect.
This advancement has resulted in a significant improvement.
The amplification range has reached 1500 meters, and the fire attribute damage amplification has increased from 20% to 30%.
With the skill cooldown time reduced, what more could you ask for?
Shen Xing was even thinking about finding a way to get a hundred or so Hellfire Seeds and pull out a hundred-strong army of inferior demons.
After a wave of bombardment, probably no creature below the third rank would be able to withstand it.
Meanwhile, having adapted to the surge of power within her body after her breakthrough, Lena gracefully walked towards him.
"I have successfully broken through. Please give me your instructions."
Shen Xing didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Next, you will lead a Black Moon Knight squad to explore the northern part of the territory."
"That's a mountain range, and there might be very strong monsters inside. If you're not sure, just wander around the area."
He paused, his expression turning serious: "Whether you use a sword or magic when you encounter monsters in the mist, I don't care."
"I have only one request: come back safely."
When Lena heard the last sentence, her pupils trembled slightly, and a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, I will definitely come back safely."
She nodded solemnly, then turned around resolutely and led a squad of Black Moon Knights away from the territory.
Next, Lord Shen personally oversaw the territory, absorbing soul stones to enhance himself while dealing with monster attacks in the mist.
He did some statistics.
Since that gray rain started falling, a wave of monsters has been attacking the territory every 3 to 5 hours, much more frequently than before.
However, a large number of monsters also bring a large amount of materials.
Moreover, apart from the Evil Eye encountered in the first wave today, no other extraordinary monsters have appeared since.
It makes sense, really. If every wave had a superhuman monster, the difficulty would be ridiculously high.
Even Shen Xing had to defend with all his might, so the other lords had no chance of survival.
into the night.
The light drizzle gradually turned into a few gray raindrops, which fell on the roof of the wooden house and made a "pitter-patter" sound.
It looks like it's going to keep getting worse.
[Your territory building: Windmill has been successfully built————]
【your----】
Two notifications flashed by, and Shen Xing, who was absorbing the soul stone, slowly opened his eyes.
"The mill is built. Next, we'll grind all the Moonlight Wheat in our backpacks into flour and then take it to the food processing plant for further processing."
.
He quickly pushed the wheelchair to the fertile farmland area outside the city walls.
Then, thousands of kilograms of wheat were taken out at once and piled up inside the mill.
Then on Monday, they sent people over to select the plump grains to keep as seeds, and put the rest into the stone mill.
On Monday, I immediately did as instructed and got my team busy.
Two hours later, Hellscream and Rena returned to their territory.
They also brought back a total of over four hundred soul stones and silver coins, as well as some other resources.
Including the waves of monsters that attacked the city today, I have accumulated more than 800 Soul Stones.
"This monster riot may be a disaster for ordinary players, but for powerful territories, it's an opportunity to quickly acquire resources."
Shen Xing analyzed for a moment, then combined all the ordinary soul fragments to upgrade the star level of the orcs and skeleton archers in his territory.
Now, there are no more ordinary one-star units in his territory; most are two-star or higher.
The next day.
Lord Shen got up early and put on his glasses.
Today marks his 20th day in the game.
Early in the morning, he couldn't wait to find Hellscream and use today's sacrificial evolution.
Because he had a premonition that this advancement would be terrifying.
With a bit of anticipation, I opened the talent panel directly.
[Use Sacrifice Evolution to upgrade the territory unit "Hellroar" to Boss ★★★?]
This requires sacrificing 100 Agility.
"Evolve!"
A beam of red light shot down from the sky and landed on the figure sitting upright on the boulder.
Hellscream suddenly trembled, feeling an explosive power surge within him.
The pair of jet-black wings unfolded instinctively and rapidly expanded in a short time, reaching an astonishing wingspan of four or five meters.
The wing membrane swirls with blue patterns, and when it flaps, it seems to emit real-life hellfire, making it look extremely magnificent.
[Your territory unit: Hellscream has successfully reached Boss ★★★!]
[This breakthrough: All attributes +10%, Agility +100]
[Activate Advanced Skill: Mirror Killing Formation]
[Activate Bloodline Skills: Demon Wings (Passive), Calamity Winds!]
