Chapter 77 Attacking the Silver Holy Land, Generous Rewards!
Then they waited there for another half hour.
Thanks to the efforts of the orcs and werewolves, all the buildings that could be demolished were completely dismantled, turning them into materials scattered all over the ground.
Shen Xing handed Lena a lantern and told her to take the newly joined werewolves and the materials back to the territory first.
This is the advantage of hero units.
They can help with many things when the lord is busy.
The female mage glanced at him, then picked up her lantern and led the werewolves out of the dense forest.
After clearing the territory, Xia Wanyin leaned closer and asked expectantly, "Shen Xing, are we going to the Silver Holy Land now?"
Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's go and take down that holy land."
With his current strength, he can easily crush all the monsters in that holy land, far exceeding the passing grade of a 100% win rate.
Yes, the advantage is in my hands, so I can make a move!
"Yay! Finally, we can farm!"
Xia Wanyin clenched her fist happily: "I've been craving that batch of Moonlight Wheat for ages, and I've already cultivated fertile land in my territory!"
Shen Xing smiled and then relit the lantern.
The orange-red flames ignited, and the group changed direction, leaving the dark depths of the forest.
Hellscream was still leading the way, forging ahead through thorns and brambles to pave a smooth road.
The group passed through the dense forest and arrived at the rolling hills outside.
They crossed several small hills and experienced two waves of monster attacks.
After more than half an hour, they finally arrived at that familiar area.
The ancient silver tree, hundreds of meters tall, exudes a sacred silver glow, its dense branches and leaves like a giant silver umbrella, opening up a world in the mist.
Beneath the tree trunk, patches of moonlight wheat, with their plump grains, exude an air of abundance.
Dozens of thin, emaciated slave laborers were diligently tending to the crops.
Several corrupt overseers stood nearby, holding dogs by their left hands and whips in their right, occasionally lashing out with a sharp "crack."
sound.
Shen Xing sat on the orc's shoulder, taking advantage of the excellent view to observe the situation of the entire holy land.
A moment later, he obtained the exact number of the enemy.
There are eight corrupt overseers in total, with potential ranging from Elite 1-star to Elite 2-star.
With the accompanying evil hounds, the number of combat units exceeded one hundred.
However, it does not pose any threat.
"Let's go, and finish this quickly."
Shen Xing gave the order.
The orc squad immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed toward the ancient silver tree.
The slave laborers working in the fields, and the group of corrupt overseers, looked bewildered as they saw the figures rushing towards them from afar.
The next moment, the group of overseers realized something, their eyes turned red, and a violent aura surged out.
"Ha—it's an intruder!"
"To dare attack Lord Hydeson's plantation is a capital offense!"
The corrupt overseers roared and charged forward with heavy steps.
The two sides made contact instantly and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
Two light elf shield guards charged to the front, withstanding most of the pressure.
The orcs followed beside him, wielding their battle axes and hacking wildly.
The light elf archers behind drew their bows and fired a volley.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Arrows of light, like shooting stars, poured forth towards the center of the enemy forces.
In an instant, several evil dogs were riddled with holes, exploding into a pile of souls and soul stones.
The overseers were also forced into retreat by the combined efforts of Shen Xing and Xia Wanyin.
Meanwhile, the commotion here also seemed to have disturbed the strongest being in this sacred land.
"Thump! Thump thump!"
The heavy footsteps sounded like drums beating on the earth.
Beneath the ancient silver tree, the tree knight, riding a tall warhorse and clad in armor, slowly stepped out.
Upon seeing them, he immediately spurred his warhorse and charged forward like a heavily armored tank!
"Rumble—"
The earth trembled slightly, and a strong sense of oppression swept over us.
"Hellscream, finish him off."
At Shen Xing's command, a gust of wind suddenly burst forth beneath the feet of the bald orc beside him!
He transformed into a streak of light and charged towards the unstoppable knight.
Upon seeing the enemy, the Tree Knight's eyes beneath his mask instantly turned bloodshot, as if he had been provoked.
He accelerated again!
He raised the greatsword!
He got A!
Just as the two sides were about to make contact, the Hellroar in front of them suddenly disappeared.
The next second, six Hellroars appeared from all directions.
Each of the Hellscreams wields a Blackwater Battle Axe and looks exactly the same!
The Tree Knight was stunned, not knowing which enemy to attack for a moment.
Before he could react, the six Hellscreams simultaneously swung their battle axes and launched attacks from all directions.
The Tree Knight swung his sword wildly, slashing, parrying, charging, and dodging left and right.
They even used a large-scale killing move called "withering and decay," causing the land within a radius of tens of meters to wither and spread the stench of plague.
However, two fists cannot fight four hands, especially since the opponent is a second-tier expert whose strength far surpasses his own.
He was quickly cut down by Hellscream.
It has to be said that this guy is quite strong as an enhanced leader.
They actually managed to defeat one of Hellscream's clones and almost injured the main body.
Similarly, as a boss-level creature, its drop rate is also very high.
Shen Xing saw a bright ball of light floating next to the burly corpse.
On the ground were a piece of black wood, a glittering medal, and a large number of soul stones.
"As expected of a peak sixth-grade elementary school student, a half-step junior high school level expert, the drop rate is indeed high."
Shen Xing nodded in satisfaction, then instructed Hellroar to collect the spoils.
Meanwhile, the orc legions and the light elf legions, working together, had also wiped out all the corrupt overseers.
This battle was a complete rout, with no surprises whatsoever.
Even Xia Wanyin's face showed a relaxed expression.
Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance.
The next second, a piercing shriek suddenly came from above.
"ah-!!!"
The actual sound waves spread rapidly through the air, instantly covering most of the battlefield.
Upon hearing that familiar shriek, the image of a monster flashed through Shen Xing's mind!
Human-faced demon bird!
He almost instinctively crushed the [Phantom Clone Scroll], then barely managed to lift his head and look in the direction from which the sound came.
In the distance, Guangzhong caught a glimpse of a pale, featherless, strange bird hanging upside down from a tree branch. The human face on its chest was staring at them, its mouth twisted in an evil smile.
The next second, a violent impact struck, and he lost consciousness on the spot.
Including Hellscream below, as well as a group of orc infantry and light elf legions, all fell into a daze and frantically attacked their companions.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the group, the featherless bird suddenly spread its huge fleshy wings and swooped down on Shen Xing below.
The speed of its instantaneous burst even exceeded the limit of what the naked eye could perceive, making it several times more terrifying than the human-faced demon bird they had encountered in the previous trial.
In other words, this monster's strength has officially reached the extraordinary level.
The sudden turn of events was beyond everyone's expectations, and the situation deteriorated rapidly.
Once this monster gets close, the consequences are self-evident.
In the critical moment, Xia Wanyin flicked her right hand, and an ancient scroll was unfurled.
Instantly, dazzling golden light spread out like a tide.
The orc legion and Shen Xing, who had been struck by the golden light, simultaneously recovered from their dazed state.
"roar!!!"
After regaining consciousness, Hellroar saw the human-faced bird swooping down on his lord and roared in unprecedented fury!
A wisp of breeze burst forth beneath his feet, and he shot out like a cannonball.
The speed of the instantaneous burst was several times faster than before!
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Shen Xing's side, raised his battle axe, and slashed at the sky.
This axe strike contained his extreme rage, and coupled with the fact that the human-faced demon bird was in a pouncing state, it was impossible for it to stop.
"Pfft"
The axe blade struck the demon bird's chest, slicing through flesh and shattering its internal organs, the immense force pouring into the wound.
With a loud bang, the demonic bird flew backward like a tattered sack, rolling dozens of meters on the ground.
But this guy truly lives up to his reputation as a superhuman being; his vitality is astonishingly strong.
Despite suffering such severe injuries, he still did not die.
It even quickly sat up and let out an angry shriek at Hellroar.
But Hellscream was angrier than it.
That damned fellow actually attacked me when I wasn't looking, and even attacked the lord.
My anger right now is a hundred times greater than your teeth!!!
"Hmph—"
With red eyes and a puff of hot air coming out of his nostrils, he pounced on the human-faced demon bird.
What followed was a bit bloody.
In summary, it's about an orc riding on a bird, carefully cleaning its body and removing useless parts.
The strange bird let out a comfortable cry, praising the master's skill, its voice echoing throughout the entire Silver Holy Land.
After a few minutes, the area returned to calm.
When Shen Xing pushed the wheelchair to Hellroar's side, the strange bird had already disappeared.
All that remained were fragments of the strange bird scattered on the ground, along with a large pile of scattered soul stones and other spoils of war.
"How are you?" Xia Wanyin asked with concern as she quickly walked over after the battle ended.
"Thank goodness you rescued us in time."
Shen Xing was still shaken, and couldn't help but curse inwardly that the monsters in this ghost game were too cunning.
Who would have thought that a transcendent human-faced demon bird was hidden in the canopy of the Silver Ancient Tree?
Moreover, they didn't find its existence during their last reconnaissance trip. It only suddenly erupted when they relaxed their vigilance, thinking the battle was almost over.
He was somewhat relieved that he had acquired extraordinary troops before attacking this holy land; otherwise, he would have been doomed.
In the future, when encountering such special areas, even a 130% certainty will not be enough; at least a 200% certainty is required before taking action.
Shen made up his mind in secret.
"Luckily, I didn't come alone before, otherwise something bad would definitely have happened." Xia Wanyin's face was a little pale, clearly she was also frightened.
Considering she only had one elite three-star unit before, she dared to set her sights on this place; it was like stealing offerings from the King of Hell's table—she was asking for trouble.
Fortunately, she didn't act impulsively and waited until Shen Xing had time before taking action.
Next, the two sent out troops to carefully explore the surrounding area.
They searched every possible hiding place for monsters, including tree trunks, rocks, and craters.
They were only relieved after confirming that there were absolutely no safety hazards left.
After the great battle, it was naturally time to reap the rewards.
Although this was a close call, high risk often means high reward.
Shen Xing had the beastmen gather all the spoils of war together and then tally them up.
[Advanced Material: Monster Bird Claw *1]
【Knight's Proof (Gold)】
[Ghost Eagle Recruitment Scroll (Elite ★★★)]
Black Spirit Wood (Purple) *1
[Radiant Boss Soul *1]
【Ancient Tree Shield (Purple)】
[Soul Stones*462]
[536 Werner Silver Coins]
[54 Broken Common Soul Fragments]
[26 Broken Elite Soul Fragments]
Looking at the list of spoils, the two couldn't help but show the joy of a bountiful harvest.
In addition to the soul fragments and soul stones dropped by the overseers, there are also a total of 6 special treasures.
Moreover, each piece looks quite extraordinary and is incredibly valuable.
Among them, he also discovered the key material that could upgrade the campfire to a large campfire: [Black Spirit Wood].
"Wow! They actually released a job change item!" Xia Wanyin's surprised voice came from behind: "We're so lucky!"
"A job-change item—" Shen Xing was slightly taken aback, then realized, "You mean the [Knight's Token]?"
He had seen related records on the forum before.
In the Misty Lands, there is a chance to obtain rare job change items after defeating certain special monsters.
Most importantly, this item is for the lord to use!
As is well known, the initial attributes of lords are much lower than those of troops, and their potential cannot be increased.
They can only strengthen themselves by absorbing soul stones to level up, eating special fruits, etc., so the ways to improve are relatively limited.
But things are different with job-change items.
This means they can also have their own class system and skill tree, just like military units.
Besides the [Knight's Proof], there's also the [Thorn Blade] which allows you to become a Pain Warrior, the [Root of Corruption] which allows you to become a Dark Druid, and the [Black Blood Gloves] which allows you to become a Torture Assassin, and so on.
Some lucky players even have special opportunities in high-difficulty dungeons or altars in the wild, awakening into an extremely rare hidden class.
This kind of professional tool is worth several times more than an advanced material.
However—Shen Xing definitely can't use this thing.
Have you ever seen a disabled person riding a horse into battle?
He snapped out of his reverie and looked again at the spoils of war before him.
After the great battle, the most exciting moment was naturally when the spoils were divided!
After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing suggested, "There are six props here in total. As usual, let's split them equally."
Xia Wanyin contributed significantly to this battle; when the strange bird launched its sneak attack, it was she who used a scroll to overcome the crisis.
Although the grade of that scroll is unknown, its value must be considerable given its wide-ranging dispersing effect.
However, the woman gently shook her head and said, "It can't be split equally. You killed that tree knight and that strange bird, so your contribution was much greater than mine."
"I'll take two, you take four."
Shen Xing glanced at her and didn't continue to refuse: "Okay, then you choose two items first."
Xia Wanyin thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll choose the boss-level soul and the [Ancient Tree Shield]."
"Are you sure?" Shen Xing asked, somewhat surprised.
He thought that Xia Wanyin would at least choose one of the breakthrough materials and the job change items.
After all, these are the two most valuable items inside.
The other four treasures are in a completely different league compared to them.
"Of course I'm sure."
Xia Wanyin nodded and said, "I was just thinking of getting Dahuang a new shield, and I don't have any leader-level troops in my territory, so I thought I'd give this soul to Xiaoguang to try."
Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll give you all those soul stones and other soul fragments, otherwise I'll feel a little guilty."
Xia Wanyin thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's allocate them this way."
The two quickly finalized their plan, put away their spoils, and wore expressions of joy at their success.
"Alright, the first batch of spoils has been distributed."
Shen Xing took a deep breath and looked at the huge silver tree in front of him: "Let's start distributing the second batch of more important spoils now."
