Chapter 65: Slaying the Enemy, Dominating the Top Three!
The audience was buzzing with discussion, their faces showing anxiety.
"I never expected the eleventh wave of monsters to be a human-faced demon bird!"
"This monster excels at mental attacks; once hit by its sonic waves, you'll instantly lose control of your body!"
"This is troublesome. This is a boss-level human-faced demon bird, which is much more threatening than a regular boss-level monster!"
Even Zhou Zheng frowned; things had taken a turn for the worse than he had anticipated.
If it were just a regular boss-level creature, it wouldn't be so bad, but this is a human-faced demon bird that can control the minds of its enemies.
Once you're hit, there's not even time to crush the crystal.
at the same time.
The ugly, strange bird flapped its wings and kept approaching Shen Xing and the others.
The evil aura emanating from him was so strong that it even suppressed the campfire, causing the flames to gradually shrink.
"Why do all the monsters in this game look so eerie?" Qin Lang swallowed hard.
But what he didn't know was that, besides its sinister appearance, this monster's attacks were even more sinister.
:
Before anyone could react, the human-faced demon bird's chest suddenly turned towards them, its mouth curving into a strange arc.
"ah--!!!"
A piercing shriek rang out, transforming into tangible sound waves that spread through the air.
The soldiers hit by the attack immediately turned white-eyed, then ran around wildly as if they had gone mad, hacking at anyone they saw!
"Buhou, this is a psychological attack."
Qin Lang's expression changed drastically: "Let's crush the crystal quickly and retreat!"
Xu Jiayi, who was standing nearby, also realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately took out the crystal, preparing to crush it and run away.
Just then, Shen Xing suddenly spoke calmly.
"Make your move."
Bloodhowl, perched on the giant wolf's back, roared and, with its last ounce of strength, hurled the large net from its back.
The large net instantly covered the human-faced demon bird, then quickly tightened.
The enormous, monstrous bird plummeted from the sky like a crashed helicopter, and the ghostly wails abruptly ceased.
The [Net] has an additional 30% hit rate against flying creatures, which is also evident here.
But this monster was ultimately a superhuman creature, and even when caught in the net, it remained extremely ferocious.
"Hiss! Crack!!"
It howled and tore at the net with its sharp claws, quickly creating several large holes.
It looked like it was about to break free from its constraints completely.
At this time.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from above.
Everyone looked up and saw an astonishing scene.
A figure enveloped in red light, with jet-black wings on its back and wielding a large axe engulfed in flames, descended from the sky.
As we descended, a refreshing breeze burst forth beneath our feet, causing our speed to surge once again.
The target was none other than the human-faced demon bird below.
The Blackwater Axe, carrying immense force, slammed into the face of the monster's chest.
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.
next second.
"Bang!!!"
It felt like a bomb had exploded inside my body, instantly scattering blood, flesh, and bone fragments everywhere.
Swift Step with 100% critical hit bonus + Charged Heavy Strike + Hope's Feather.
With the triple enhancement, Hellroar's attack power was amplified to a terrifying level.
At this moment, both the misty sky and the park parking lot fell into a brief silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the orc figure who had folded his bat wings and was slowly landing in the middle of the pool of blood, speechless for a long time.
It took several seconds before I gradually came to my senses.
"That's... a leader-level orc!?"
"Definitely, otherwise how could they have killed the leader-level human-faced demon bird?"
"How did he do that? Aren't orcs supposed to only be able to advance to Elite 3 at most?"
"Didn't you see the wings on that orc's back? It must have obtained some special treasure and mutated."
The crowd suddenly realized, and their shock deepened.
The members of the anomaly handling department nearby were also deeply impressed.
"I never expected that this little guy would actually be hiding a boss-level combatant."
"No wonder he dared to challenge the eleventh wave of Endless Mode, it turns out he had this trump card."
"Yes, it's truly rare to cultivate a leader-level creature at the first level."
Old 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 another trump card?"
Zhou Zheng nodded gently with a calm smile on his face 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 hiding something, he originally thought that it was already quite good that the little guy had an elite three-star unit.
As a result, he not only pulled out a bunch of elite three-star units, but now even boss-level units have appeared.
"Excellent." Old Wang nodded with a face full of satisfaction: "You have discovered a rare talent for Jiangcheng this time."
"I'll go to the resource center later and ask if I can get you an expert-level advanced material."
Zhou Zheng trembled, suppressing his overwhelming joy, and quickly said, "Thank you so much, Deputy Director Wang!"
Upon hearing this, the staff 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 they heard the 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.
Who the hell knows if these people will pull out even stronger trump cards and create another miracle?
The Realm of Mist.
Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi also recovered from their previous shock.
"Holy crap!" Qin Lang's eyes widened. "Shen Xing, is this the orc you summoned in the mall? It's already reached the boss level!"
Xu Jiayi stared at him in shock and uttered, "Monster."
Shen Xing shook his head and smiled, "Let's see what kind of things exploded first."
17
The two of them came to their senses.
Looking around, there were many good things 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.
There was also a dazzling and magnificent gemstone next to it.
In addition, there was a pair of sharp claws gleaming with cold light, as well as a large pile of soul stones, 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 asked, turning her head.
Shen Xing thought for a moment and said, "Let's retreat. I have a feeling that the next wave of monsters will be very powerful, and may even reach the extraordinary level."
He still has trump cards up his sleeve, such as the Legion of Lesser Demons and the Drum of Invigoration.
But if they were to face a superhuman monster, they wouldn't be very confident.
Moreover, summoning so many units at once has pushed both their physical and mental limits to the brink.
So I'd better 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.
Then, my vision shifted. A dizzying sensation spread through 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 appearing 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 people around them remained silent, only looking at them with complicated 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 very 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, Mr. Wang, also came over.
He glanced at everyone and slowly said, "First of all, congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the Mist 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 many talented new lords in the Void Realm."
"I am very pleased that Jiangcheng is full of talented people."
The old man's deep voice silenced everyone, and they all turned their attention to him.
"However, as I said before, you must ensure your safety while pushing your limits."
Old Wang changed the subject, his voice becoming serious: "As you have all seen, even in this lowest-difficulty one-star secret realm, even with teleportation crystals, some people still tragically lose their lives."
"As you continue to grow, 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 China."
"In the near future, it may very well develop into a large-scale smog disaster covering multiple cities."
The parking lot was quiet as everyone listened attentively.
After a pause, Old 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 should also have a sense of awe."
"Only in this way can we survive in the increasingly chaotic situation of the future and ignite the spark of hope for civilization."
A solemn and serious expression appeared in the eyes of everyone on the field.
Next, Mr. 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 while, then dispersed.
Many players also flocked to Shen Xing's side, surrounding them and asking all sorts of questions.
Or ask them how to contact them, or how they developed their business.
Several other players handed out their business cards, inviting them to learn more about their companies when they had a spare 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 is no one asking 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 average player, but compared to the other two, it's not worth mentioning.
At this moment, a man wearing a black T-shirt walked up to Shen Xing and politely said, "Hello, I am 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-level lord as his father, and his background was very powerful.
"That's too kind of you. 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 extraordinary and expert-level lords."
"People exchange game experiences in there, and occasionally some experts share some strategies that might be helpful to you."
Shen Xing suddenly realized that this group sounded pretty good.
There are expert-level 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.
The difficulties encountered by lords during their development, and the personal experiences they have summarized—these valuable insights are rarely shared.
"Okay, add us to the group." Shen Xing nodded.
"Okay, scan this code." Gu Feng opened his phone, then tapped the green bubble icon and shared a group QR code.
Shen Xing glanced at the screen and saw a group message with more than 30 people.
The group's name is "Discussion Group for the Future Prodigy Emperor Who Will Dominate the Current Jiangcheng".
Looking at this ridiculously cringeworthy name, Shen Xing couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Then, suppressing her shame, she joined the group chat with Xu Jiayi.
Just as Gu Feng was about to put his phone away, Qin Lang next to him quickly said, "Wait a minute, I haven't scanned it yet."
"Uh—" Gu Feng was taken aback for a moment: "You want to join too?"
Qin Lang: "?"
"No, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me?" he said angrily.
Gu Feng quickly explained, "Brother, you've misunderstood. I just didn't notice you."
He took out his phone again and shared the group's QR code.
Qin Lang then put away his grief and indignation and joined the group with a resentful look on his face.
At this moment, Zhou Zheng walked over and led them away from the players' encirclement: "The car is here. The three of you come back to the association with me first."
A white minivan slowly drove up and stopped in front of everyone.
Qin Lang skillfully grabbed Shen Xing's wheelchair armrests, lifted her and the wheelchair together into the car, and then entered the carriage.
"Dudu 1"
Under the watchful eyes of dozens of players, the car disappeared at the parking lot exit.
Soon after, the other players also dispersed.
Shortly after the crowd left, several figures with profound presence slowly emerged from the thick fog.
Led by Elder Wang, followed by several members of the Anomaly Handling Bureau, including the third-tier expert-level lord Jiang Rong.
"Alright, the little ones have all left. Now it's our turn."
Old Wang slowly spoke: "Let's deal with what's inside as soon as possible, otherwise, once the fog spreads, even this one-star realm will turn into a disaster that sweeps across the entire city."
As he spoke, he walked through the mist, still wearing a kind smile on his face, but his aura had become incredibly sharp.
Everyone nodded solemnly, their faces serious, and then stepped into the mist together.
