Chapter 369: Sweeping All the Way, Soaring Rankings!

Mountain Giants belong to a bloodline branch of the Giant Clan. Just like Plutana, they also possess semi-giant bloodlines.

However, this ethnic group has existed for many years. Countless years of bloodline evolution have allowed them to perfectly integrate the giant bloodline into their bodies.

This group has produced quite a few powerhouses over the years.

Although those pure-blooded Giant Clans still do not recognize the status of Mountain Giants,

it cannot be denied that this group is very powerful.

Wei Jianyi spoke, "Then, Commander Chu, your Ash-Rock Shield Armored Soldiers will protect my Wandering Swordsman Legion."

"However, since the rule this time is that points are only awarded based on whose territory residents kill the Ice Nest Monsters,"

"I will take out 50% of the point rewards from this battle to exchange for the recruitment scrolls you need, how about that?"

This legion commander said, "Commander Wei, you are too polite, just giving me 30% is enough."

However, Wei Jianyi waved his hand indifferently, "Half means half."

"Your Ash-Rock Shield Armored Soldiers have astonishing defense, but their lethality is poor. In this operation, you surely won't get many points."

"If we cooperate well this time, we will still have opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in front of him also shifted his expression slightly.

He said in a daze, "Thank you, Commander Wei, for looking out for me!"

And Wei Jianyi waved his hand indifferently and said, "Now then, let the battle begin!"

As the words fell, over a thousand people instantly rushed out!

The tall Ash-Rock Shield Armored Soldiers were at the very front!

Every step they took was like rumbling thunder, making a heavy sound.

When the massive amount of Ice Nest Monsters swarmed over, this group of shield armored soldiers raised their heavy rock shields simultaneously.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

After a series of impact sounds,

those Ice Nest Monsters lunged over without making their pace stop even half a step!

This group of Mountain Giants still held their shields high, pushing and crushing the Ice Nest Monsters like a bulldozer.

They were like unshakeable peaks, forcefully carving out a path amidst the horde of monsters.

In the rear, that group of wandering swordsmen instantly found their opportunity and thrust out the longswords in their hands!

"Snap! Snap!"

The longswords pierced through the bodies of the Ice Nest Monsters, and dense damage numbers emerged.

Even if the HP of these monsters had been strengthened, they could not withstand this kind of concentrated fire.

In the blink of an eye, Ice Nest Monsters were shattered one by one!

Seeing this scene, even Wei Jianyi couldn't help praising, "These Ash-Rock Shield Armored Soldiers are truly formidable. After gathering the legion bond, they can even block enemy attacks beyond their rank."

"Commander Chu is truly lucky to have rescued a group of Mountain Giants and obtained such a powerful unit type."

At the same time, his eyes also carried a look of envy as he looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

The Mountain Giant race is truly formidable because of their bloodline.

In this point shop, most of the exchangeable units are relatively common unit types like the Human Race, Orcs, Dwarves, and Barbarians.

As for Mountain Giants, Elf Archers, and Harpies, those are rare unit types that can only be met by chance and cannot be sought.

The middle-aged man gave two dry coughs, "Good luck, good luck…"

Just as mentioned before, in this world, many Survivors have their own unique opportunities.

For example, this person's Ash-Rock Shield Armored Soldiers, Wei Jianyi's Sword Saint inheritance, Bai Zhi's A-grade talent, and so on…

At the same time,

that level 40 commander-tier Ice Dragon lunged toward them!

"Clang!"

Wei Jianyi instantly drew his longsword from its scabbard, his eyes filled with surging battle intent!

"The little Ice Dragon is flying over. This is a level 40 commander. With our frail bodies, we might get killed in one hit if we're not careful!"

Although he said that, there was no fear in Wei Jianyi's eyes; instead, he licked his lips.

"So Commander Chu, you lead that chieftain-tier Ash-Rock Shield Armored Soldier, and then cooperate with me to deal with this little Ice Dragon!"

"Alright!"

As the words fell, they instantly rushed out, proactively engaging this level 40 commander!

Meanwhile, after an hour and a half of fierce competition, the point leaderboard changed once again.

[ District 4 Point Leaderboard ]

[ 1st Place: Bolte 453 points ]

[ 2nd Place: Taylor 374 points ]

[ 3rd Place: Cheng Lu 348 points ]

[ 4th Place… ]

[ 8th Place: Bai Zhi 285 points ]

[ 9th Place: Wei Jianyi 261 points ]

[ 10th Place… ]

Compared to the previous half-hour, the scores of the top ten had increased quite a bit more.

That group of Survivors also saw that the names of Wei Jianyi and Bai Zhi had already appeared on the cumulative point leaderboard.

And they were starting to grow at a steady pace!

In just half an hour, they were about to reach three hundred points.

They directly squeezed into the top ten.

Moreover, they were still maintaining the same momentum, sprinting towards higher rankings!

"Brothers, Goddess Bai Zhi and Great Lord Wei Jianyi have finally exerted their strength and entered the top ten!"

"Holy crap, they've already rushed to 7th and 8th place!"

"Haha! I said these two were saving up their strength, preparing to give us a big surprise, and sure enough!"

"Place your bets, place your bets! Come guess when these two can rush into the top three and seize the first place position!"

"I bet within three hours!"

"I bet one hour!"

And this group of Western Survivors felt pressure upon seeing these two people's momentum being so fierce.

Obviously, Bolte in 1st place and Taylor in 2nd place on the leaderboard began to grow their points at an even faster rate!

At this moment,

Bolte, who was temporarily in 1st place, and Taylor, who was temporarily in 2nd place, were also anxious.

Taylor on the side was trying her best to stall Ice Nest Zhuoma, using various control skills and traps in turn.

And Bolte on the other side was leading his subordinate legion to kill these reinforced Ice Nest Monsters!

However, despite this, their efficiency was not high.

After all, under the bonus of tenfold HP, even these ordinary Ice Nest Monsters had as much as 100,000 HP!

It would take a while to finish off a single Ice Nest Monster.

And right at this moment, that ' Zhuo Mas Claw ' had already broken free from the trap!

In a spiraling posture, it flew a thousand meters high into the air, seemingly preparing to unleash some ultimate move!

"Hisss——"

"Whoosh~!!!"

Ice arrows all over the sky fell like raindrops!

This turned out to be a super-large-range AOE magic covering at least a thousand meters!

"Puff! Puff puff!"

A large number of Survivors were pierced by ice arrows, with damage numbers of over 3,000 appearing above their heads, and their HPs plummeted!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen unfortunates endured too many ice arrows and died directly.

Bolte said eagerly, "Taylor, this little Ice Dragon's AOE damage is too high, we simply can't hold out!"

"We must interrupt its skill as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, the brown-curly-haired woman had a solemn expression.

She nodded and said, "I know."

"The other legions are already on their way, I will stall this commander-tier Ice Dragon!"

As the words fell, this woman pulled out a strange prop from her backpack.

That was a terrifying and hideous statue, looking like an evil and horrifying octopus, emanating an astonishingly evil aura.

"Things have come to this, we can only use this Epic-grade treasure!"

Because Bai Zhi and Wei Jianyi killed their way into the top ten,

the point growth rate of everyone on the entire point leaderboard instantly accelerated by a large margin!

Of course, the price for the skyrocketing point growth rate was even more casualties!

But now with the point shop, everyone could consume points inside to exchange for Tier 3 units.

Therefore, even if their subordinate units died, they didn't feel as heartbroken as before!

For a time, a large number of Survivors formed teams and began to massively charge the Ice Nest Monster army!

As for those Survivors who originally didn't plan to participate in this challenge but instead developed their territories peacefully, they sat in their territories watching the good show.

"This competition is really fierce!"

"Indeed, Goddess Bai Zhi just rushed to 4th place, only to be squeezed down to 5th by Cheng Lu."

"Wei Jianyi is also sprinting. Although he dropped to 6th place, the gap between him and the several powerhouses ahead isn't big."

"Sure enough, the universally recognized top powerhouses of these major districts, who are also on the Prosperity Leaderboard, should not be underestimated in strength."

Everyone deeply agreed!

After all, the difficulty of this challenge was still quite high; not only were the enemies greater in number than them, but their levels were also higher.

Being able to stand out in the competition of hundreds of thousands of people and aggressively kill their way into the top ten already demonstrated their strength.

Right at this moment, a Survivor suddenly remembered something.

"Right, all those powerhouses on the Prosperity Leaderboard have already started exerting their strength, why hasn't the other one been seen yet?"

Hearing this, everyone also seemed to remember something.

The other one they were talking about was naturally Cao Xing.

The batch of powerful tiger meat he sold last night could be said to be deeply impressive!

Plus, he was also the number one on the Prosperity Leaderboard.

It was hard not to draw people's attention!

However, until now, his name still hadn't appeared on the point leaderboard.

This also made everyone feel extra puzzled.

That group of Western Survivors harbored deep resentment ever since Cao Xing refused to sell them that kind of tiger meat last night.

Catching this opportunity now, they jumped out one by one to mock.

"Don't count on your Great Lord Cao Xing, I just searched his name and he still has 0 points!"

"I guess this guy named Cao Xing is hiding in his territory right now and doesn't dare to come out!"

"Haha, I think so too, otherwise almost an hour and a half has passed, how come he doesn't even have a single point!"

The Survivors from District 17 immediately became unconvinced upon hearing this.

"What are you silly dogs talking nonsense about? Your whole family is cowards, Great Lord Cao Xing would never be a coward!"

"Exactly, wait for Cao Xing to exert his strength and fiercely slap your faces!"

"Is that so? Then I'm really looking forward to him exerting his strength quickly and then slapping my face, hahaha!"

A fierce war of words began once again.

Meanwhile,

looking at the mighty dragon legion before him, Cao Xing had more or less figured out the strength of these monsters.

Furthermore, he also came to a conclusion.

That was, relying on the hundred-odd people he brought, it was enough to frontally flatten the Ice Nest Monster army led by this ' Zhuo Mas Claw '!

There was simply no need for any tactics.

Therefore, Cao Xing directly ordered, "Sarah, you go straight to deal with that little Ice Dragon."

"Assam, Andrew, Victoria, and other core combat personnel."

"Your mission is to clear out all the chieftains and leaders within the Dragon Legion with all your might, and do not let these monsters interfere with Sarah and the legion side!"

"Everyone else, form up and start advancing!"

The moment Cao Xing's words fell,

Sarah instantly rushed out like an arrow shot from a bowstring.

With a nimble posture, she jumped onto the head of one of the Ice Nest Monsters, and before the monster could react, she lightly stepped on it again, dashing out dozens of meters away.

Like a flexible swallow, she shuttled through the swarm of Ice Nest Monsters as if entering an empty territory!

And within the Ice Nest Monster army, an Ice Nest Evil Beast had already spotted Sarah.

It instantly opened its big mouth filled with sharp fangs.

"Hisss——"

After a burst of indescribably piercing shrieks, the surrounding Ice Nest Monsters instantly fell into a riot!

They all rushed towards Sarah as if they had all entered a berserk state!

At the same time,

those Ice Nest Evil Beasts and Ice Nest Colossi all leaped high into the air!

Like falling meteors, they fiercely smashed down towards Sarah!

From all directions came the surging enemies!

If she were smashed by these leader-tier monsters, she would definitely fall into a dizzy state.

Next, she would be instantly submerged by the massive number of monsters.

By then, even with Sarah's astonishing survivability, she wouldn't be able to withstand the wave-after-wave control from so many monsters!

However, after being surrounded, this Dark Elf assassin's eyes had no fluctuations at all.

At the critical moment!

Her figure vanished instantly, leaving a brilliant arc across the spot—Arc Flash!

Hearing a "Swish!" sound, she had already broken out of the encirclement.

And in an instant, Sarah entered the [ Moon Blade Dance ] state, leaping high into the air like a nimble swift.

In the air, her movements were swift and smooth, advancing rapidly.

Her target was shockingly that ' Zhuo Mas Claw! '

The little Ice Dragon—Zhuo Mas Claw saw the enemy attacking, its deep blue pupils carrying the chill of death.

It didn't reveal the gaze of looking at other creatures as mere ants, but instead faced her in full battle array!

Because it sensed a fatal sense of crisis from Sarah's body!

The moment this Dark Elf assassin was about to strike, the little Ice Dragon raised its head to the sky and let out a dragon roar.

"Roar!!!"

Then, the sky-full of Ice Arrow Rain shot towards Sarah fiercely!

It unexpectedly launched that massive-range ultimate skill right at the first moment!

However, Sarah did not dodge or evade, charging straight ahead against the sky-filling attacks.

"Click! Crack!"

After all the Holy Shields shattered, she leaped onto the back of the Zhuo Mas Claw.

Stepping with both feet onto its ice-crystal-constructed neck, the Flowing Fire Blade and Demonic Fish Thorn in her hands slashed down ruthlessly!

"Clang! Crack!"

Every slash felt like cutting into a block of ice, producing bursts of metallic collision sounds!

Terrifying damage numbers appeared above the little Ice Dragon's head.

[-16632!]

[-17478!]

[-17231!]

[-18321!]

[-31321!]

Coup de Grace!

After obtaining the new blessing skill [Blessing of Strength], Liu Muxue enhanced the lethality of these melee classes by another notch!

The damage also ushered in a qualitative improvement!

This little Ice Dragon was hacked into emitting a hiss towards the sky!

Even that massive-range AOE skill was directly interrupted.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing naturally would not let her fight alone.

"Sarah has successfully stalled the Zhuo Mas Claw!"

"Charge!"

As the words fell,

Assam rode the Frost Wolf beneath his feet, then led the Ascalon Warriors behind him, charging out at the very forefront!

"For the glory of the Lord! Charge!"

"Rumble!"

Over a hundred people charged forward courageously like a surging tide.

Meanwhile, the massive amount of Ice Nest Monsters below also discovered their actions, charging grandly toward this group of soldiers!

The distance between the two legions closed instantly!

Just at the moment when the sharp claws of the Ice Nest Monster were about to cut open the skin of Frost Wolf Winter!

Assam raised the lady of the lake sword and directly began sweeping horizontally!

"Whoosh—Whoosh—"

The lady of the lake sword swept past with the mighty force of severing the air!

Ice Nest Monsters were swept flying one by one, large damage numbers popping up above their heads.

At the same time,

the Ascalon Warriors behind him tightly gripped the longswords in their hands, swinging them forward and stirring up gusts of wind!

Flashes of cold light flickered across the battlefield, and every sword swing carried an unstoppable force, hacking toward the surrounding enemies!

"Click! Crack!"

In the blink of an eye, a large number of Ice Nest Monsters had their health cleared to zero, shattering into a ground full of ice slag!

This team turned into a sharp knife!

And Assam was the tip of the blade, while the other warriors formed the blade itself!

They directly and fiercely stabbed into the Ice Nest army!

Cao Xing's side also continuously received system prompts.

[Your territory member: Assam killed Ice Nest Monster Lv31, gained Experience: 310, Points +1]

[Your territory member: Anaji killed Ice Nest Hoof Lv32, Tier 4 Boss-grade creature, gained Experience: 3200, Points +20]

[Your…]

[…]

Seeing the system prompts, a look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Killing a boss-grade creature gives 20 points? That's not bad."

"I just wonder how many points killing a chieftain or finishing off that little Ice Dragon will give?"

Although the health of these Ice Nest Monsters was very thick, it was obvious that Cao Xing's side had even stronger attack power!

His points began to surge at a terrifying speed!

In the blink of an eye, he had over 50 points.

At the same time,

the Dragon Blood Warrior legion led by Commander Bo Jie had also launched their action!

It was still led by the two chieftains, Jonard and Josent, taking the vanguard!

They instantly leaped high into the air, transforming into a destructive meteor and smashing fiercely into the monster group.

"Rumble!!!"

[-37589]

[-37823]

[-23542]

[-22533]

[-24883]

[-35254!]

Dragon Blood Piercing Sky Thorn's 267% AOE coefficient, plus the Dragon Blood Warrior's additional 30% damage bonus against the dragon's minions, dealt terrifying damage figures breaking past twenty thousand one after another!

After the terrifying explosion, at least several hundred Ice Nest Monsters were blasted flying on the spot!

However, the health of these Ice Nest Monsters was truly thick.

Under normal circumstances, Tier 4 monsters like these, upon enduring such a terrifying burst skill like [Dragon Blood Piercing Sky Thorn!], would definitely be killed instantly on the spot.

But right now, not even a single one was taken away!

However, this had no real impact.

As more than thirty Dragon Blood Warriors entered the arena,

Commander Bo Jie shouted, "Form a five-man array, advance, and follow up with Ice-Snow Dragon Spear Break!"

The instant the words fell, five Dragon Blood Warriors charged forward like arrows loosed from a bowstring!

Then, holding longspears, the terrifying ice power condensed to its limit and then burst forth entirely through the spear tips.

It was precisely that large-range clearing and control divine skill—Ice-Snow Dragon Spear Break!

Dragon Blood Warriors whose entire roster was at least at the elite level were no joke!

"Clatter!"

Five fifty-meter-long ice pillars suddenly erupted, covering at least hundreds of Ice Nest Monsters ahead.

Among them were also some monsters with remaining health!

[-18732]

[-16359]

[-15723]

[-16823]

[-15823]

[…]

After dense and terrifying damage numbers floated up,

at least over a hundred Ice Nest Monsters right before their eyes exploded into fragments on the spot!

System prompts appeared!

[Your territory members killed a total of 132 Ice Nest Monsters this time, gaining Points: 193]

[Congratulations! Your points have entered the top 100 of the leaderboard. Please keep up the good work!]

Cao Xing's points instantly reached 260, directly rushing into the top 100!

[…]

[…]

At the same time,

on the points leaderboard, Bolte in first place had already reached over nine hundred points!

Taylor in second place also had over seven hundred points!

However, Bai Zhi had rushed to third place and also had over seven hundred points.

It was now the second phase of the dragon challenge, and two hours had already passed.

Everyone's scores were biting very closely.

Entering the top 100 required at least two hundred points, which showed how heavy the competitive pressure was.

After all, this was a competition among 900,000 people!

In order to climb the rankings, everyone brought out their true skills!

After all, this was not just personal glory; it also concerned the dignity of Eastern and Western Survivors!

The names of the first and second places on the leaderboard right now belonged to two Westerners, which had long made them hold back a breath in their hearts!

However, Bolte and Taylor's states at this moment were not feeling good either!

"Oh! Taylor, this bunch of Eastern Survivors is chasing too closely; my soldiers' casualty-to-loss ratio is getting higher and higher, I can barely hold on!"

That brown-curly-haired Western female was holding that evil statue in her hand, having already made the little Ice Dragon collapse and sleep on the ground.

However, everyone did not dare to attack the little Ice Dragon, because doing so would wake it up.

She turned her head and said with a calm expression, "Bolte, you can't say you can't do it at a time like this!"

"Now that we've managed to widen the gap, we must maintain our advantage even more."

"No matter what, we must take first place and suppress them!"

Hearing this, Bolte also saw the other party's determination.

He nodded solemnly and said, "Alright! Then let's charge once more and take first place!"

His figure began to expand, and a ferocious, beast-like aura burst forth from within his body.

Dense fur grew out from his body at an astonishing speed.

Those hairs stood up one by one like steel needles, exuding a tough texture.

In the blink of an eye, a fierce male lion appeared before them!

"Roar!"

Bolte let out an explosive roar, holding a broad-bladed greatsword, and charged into the Ice Nest army like a violent tornado!

Wielding the greatsword, every swing carried extremely terrifying power!

Ice Nest Monsters were slapped away on the spot by him one by one, or directly hacked to pieces, shattering all over the ground.

Meanwhile, in the chat channel, seeing Bolte's points begin to surge by another section again, the Survivors suddenly felt a shock in their hearts!

"Damn, did this Bolte fucking take drugs? How is he so fast, he's already broken a thousand!"

"Damn it, indeed, this guy is charging way too fiercely; he has already pulled nearly three hundred points ahead of Goddess Bai Zhi!"

"If this goes on, today's first place might really be snatched away by this group of Western guys."

Hearing this, the Western Survivors laughed loudly and mocked unmercifully.

"Little sheep of the East, did you see that? This is our gap!"

"You guys from the East are always blindly confident, thinking how great and smart you are, but actually, in the face of a true challenge, you are utterly vulnerable."

"Bai Zhi and Wei Jianyi, whom you pin your hopes on, and even that Cheng Lu, can only desperately follow behind Bolte."

"As for that other Cao Xing, I don't even know where his name is; he's probably still cowering in his quilt trembling with fear right now!"

"Hahaha!"

In the chat channel, the Survivors turned flush red from holding it in after hearing these mocking tones!

Each and every one of them wished they could find these guys' territories on the spot and have a real-life PK with them!

Right at this moment, someone suddenly noticed a name on the leaderboard.

[78th Place: Cao Xing, Cumulative Points: 324]

[…]

This person immediately exclaimed in shock:

"Brothers, Great Lord Cao Xing seems to have reached 78th place. Did any of you see when he rushed up?"

"I don't know. Wasn't it said that he didn't even enter the top 100?"

"Everyone, I searched this person's name three minutes ago, and his points were still 0 at that time!"

Hearing this, all the Survivors on the scene were suddenly startled.

"Still 0 points just a few minutes ago? That's unlikely, right?"

"You mean in just these short few minutes, he skyrocketed by over three hundred points and then rushed into the top 100?"

"I dare bet, I definitely didn't see it wrong. Three minutes ago, Cao Xing only had 0 points!"

When that group of Western Survivors heard this, however, they wore faces of mockery.

"Haha! This group of Eastern little sheep has been battered to the point of hallucinating by us."

"Even our Commander Bolte took half an hour of points to reach three hundred, yet you guys say this Cao Xing only took three minutes? Isn't that a bit too whimsical?"

"You don't really think that among the current Survivors, someone could manage to increase three hundred points in three minutes, do you?"

No one retorted, because this was indeed a bit too shocking…

At the same time, the Survivors who had been closely staring at the leaderboard discovered that Cao Xing's ranking had changed again.

"Quickly look at the leaderboard, Great Lord Cao Xing just added another 50-plus points and has rushed into the top sixty!"

"No, it's already the top fifty now!"

"Holy shit! What kind of terrifying speed is this!"

Before they could snap back to their senses, Cao Xing's points reached 400, directly rushing into the top forty!

At this moment, everyone was completely dumbfounded!
