Chapter 175: Chapter 146: Taking the Initiative!

From afar, everyone saw the scene of the territory being devoured by Blood Tide monsters.

Cheng Jianyong stood there dumbfounded for a moment, a hint of sorrow flashing in his eyes.

As the Blood Tide receded.

The Sky Island collapsed into fragments in the air.

Everyone looked at Cheng Jianyong.

A moment later, they heard him sigh and say, "Let’s go, Brother Xing."

Han Xing glanced at him and nodded.

Then he continued to steer the Sky Island forward.

On the way.

Han Xing looked at everyone and said, "There’s still time; we don’t know when those Blood Tide monsters will erupt again on a large scale."

"Let’s take this opportunity to earn more battle merits at night and explore any monster sky islands we encounter on the way."

Everyone nodded, having no objections to Han Xing’s decision.

Moreover, they indeed needed to seize the time to enhance their strength.

Under the Blood Moon.

A massive Sky Island advanced at a steady pace.

In the sky, mutated monsters could occasionally be seen flying in groups.

But compared to the initial outbreak, their numbers were far fewer.

Han Xing didn’t know the reason.

He only knew that these monsters were essentially piles of battle merits in his eyes.

They could be exchanged for Golden Armor, Moon Armor Puppets, and rewards from various grade chests!

So his enthusiasm for killing these Blood Tide monsters remained high.

Along the way, when he saw monster hordes, he would either bombard them with catapults or unleash a volley of siege crossbow arrows.

At the same time.

His battle merits also began to grow at a terrifying speed.

[Blood Tide mutation (Ordinary Level) killed*473, Blood Tide mutation (Elite Level) killed*3, gained battle merits 503...]

[Blood Tide mutation (Ordinary Level) killed*512, Blood Tide mutation (Elite Level) killed*7, Blood Tide mutation (Leader Level) killed*1, gained battle merits 692...]

At this stage, the levels of these Blood Tide monsters weren’t very high.

In just a single round, at least hundreds of monsters would die.

In less than an hour, Han Xing’s combat merit points increased by more than five thousand.

Unfortunately, compared to the first wave’s tens of thousands of Blood Tide monsters raiding him, this growth rate was much slower.

But compared to others, Han Xing’s rate of gaining battle merits was still like a rocket!

However, because the battle merit leaderboard update wasn’t complete, the rankings couldn’t be seen.

Otherwise, based on the number of monsters Han Xing had killed, if not first, then at least steady in the top three.

Considering this was the combined leaderboard of the entire human race of Blue Star, involving billions of people.

Being in the top three among them was already incredibly remarkable!

However, all these Blood Tide monsters were killed by Han Xing’s domain buildings, so the battle merits earned all belonged to him.

Yet no one had any objections.

To them, exchanging items in the battle merit store didn’t matter much.

Because the equipment from the chests Han Xing exchanged for was distributed based on need.

As Han Xing advanced triumphantly, hunting the Blood Tide monsters.

Everyone couldn’t help but look at the man on the city wall again.

While billions trembled daily under the threat of Blood Tide monsters.

He already effortlessly mitigated the crisis, actively hunting these monsters!

If these facts were publicized, who knows how many would madly rush here, begging to join Han Xing’s territory.

The Sky Island crushed everything in its path.

At this moment, Han Xing seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Right, there’s something I need to say."

"Next, if we encounter small-scale Blood Tide monsters, I won’t use those attack devices to kill them."

"I plan to lure these monsters into the territory for us to deal with ourselves."

Shen Yun asked in confusion, "Brother Xing, do you mean we should fight these monsters ourselves?"

Han Xing nodded.

"During the ongoing Blood Tide, we can’t enter the Cloud Secret Realm, and monsters killed by catapults don’t give experience."

"To level up quickly, we have to take action ourselves."

"Moreover, given the vast numbers of Blood Tide monsters, if we can keep up with the pace, the leveling speed won’t be slower than when the Cloud Secret Realm is open."

After a pause, Han Xing continued, "But you don’t need to worry."

"The most troublesome aspect of these Blood Tide monsters is the Blood Curse."

"And I have a large number of Blood Curse Antidotes, which effectively nullify this tactic."

"To us, these monsters are just ordinary monsters."

After hearing Han Xing’s analysis, everyone brightened up.

Indeed, while the Blood Tide was terrifying, it also held great opportunity.

Normally, where could they find so many abundant yet low-level monsters?

Moreover, the five of them had all completed the Second Transformation.

Dealing with these low-level monsters wouldn’t be a challenge at all.

Just as he finished speaking, a considerable wave of monsters was sighted ahead in the night sky, about a thousand or so.

This time, Han Xing didn’t use the catapults for bombardment; instead, he led everyone to the open area below Xingyu City.

Han Xing was preparing to make this their main battlefield.

To prevent those monsters from rushing into Xingyu City and attacking everyone’s relatives during the fight.

Han Xing had them all enter the City Lord’s Mansion.

He also gave orders to the thousands of siege crossbow arrows and hundreds of catapults on the city walls.

Any monster approaching within two hundred meters of Xingyu City should be directly bombarded.

After making these preparations, Han Xing actively withdrew the protective shield.

In the sky.

The horde of blood tide monsters, with twisted limbs, instantly turned their gaze upon Han Xing and his companions, surging forward like a tide.

The silhouettes of the blood tide monsters came closer and closer.

This time, they were prepared to take down this horde on their own!

Despite confidence in their own strength, facing opponents dozens of times their number inevitably brought some pressure.

As the sky filled with monsters appeared above everyone’s heads.

All five drank a Blood Curse Antidote.

The next moment, Han Xing directly said.

"Attack!"

The weapons in the hands of the five erupted with intense light.

First, a patch of blue electricity appeared overhead, then, in the next moment, arcs of lightning poured down in a torrential downpour on the heads of the monsters.

Rumble!

At least two to three hundred monsters were covered by the electric light, convulsing ceaselessly from the strikes.

This skill was a new group attack skill learned by Zhang Lianmeng after her Second Transformation.

Thunder Baptism!

Its effect was to create a massive thundercloud, delivering three waves of destructive strikes to enemies below.

Along with Zhang Lianmeng’s exceedingly high magic damage, these over three hundred monsters were annihilated in an instant.

For a time, the kill feed began to flood.

Su Xiaoyang, on this side, was not to be outdone either.

She suddenly retreated a few steps, then leaped several meters high.

Suspended in the air, her graceful figure actually paused.

The next moment, the bowstring was drawn back.

An arrow gathered with a rich green glow, shooting out vigorously.

In the perplexed gaze of the monster horde, wave after wave of arrows, carrying terrifying penetration, descended again from above.

Crash!

With five continuous waves, again nearly two hundred monsters perished.

This skill was also a new group attack skill acquired by Su Xiaoyang after her Second Transformation.

Sky Arrow Rain.

Beside them, Cheng Jianyong seemed to have recovered from his grief as well.

He slowly raised the Lion Heart Greatsword in his hand.

In the next moment, a beam of light flashed across the distant sky.

Everyone saw, an invisible giant sword fell from the sky, sweeping across the monster horde with momentum to sever all.

[Sky Sword]: Summons a phantom of a sword in the air, dealing 222% damage to enemies, with a maximum attack range of 400 meters.

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, dozens more monsters were cut down, severed limbs flew randomly.

The first wave of attacks by the three destroyed hundreds of monsters.

"Oh my! I’m so strong!"

Cheng Jianyong, returned to his former state, exclaimed with excitement.

Although he had killed the fewest monsters, he was more excited than anyone else.

Han Xing and Shen Yun exchanged a smile, accustomed to his delight.

At this time, most of the monster horde had been cleared, but more monsters were still charging towards them.

Shen Yun directly cast two blessings on Han Xing consecutively.

Then he cast Angel’s Shelter on himself, turned, and lifted his shield, ready to single-handedly withstand the charge of the monster horde.

At this moment, with two blessings on him, Han Xing could feel his attributes increasing rapidly.

Then, he directly drew back the bowstring.

A flaming arrow appeared in his right hand.

When Han Xing launched the flaming arrow.

Whoosh—

The next moment, the field of vision was abruptly filled with fiery red.

Boom!

After a fierce explosion sound.

It was as though a missile exploded in front of them, the ears buzzing with a droning sound.

The next moment, a massive mushroom cloud over 60 meters in diameter violently rose!

The surging airwaves made everyone’s hair wildly flutter.

Even the distant Xingyu City felt this impact of the heatwave.

When the flames dissipated, hundreds of charred monster corpses lay on the ground.

Some monster corpses in the explosion were directly vaporized.

Standing at the center of the explosion, Shen Yun turned back, trembling in voice, asked: "Bro... Brother Xing, what skill was that?"

At this moment, Shen Yun’s eyes held a trace of fear.

Because when Han Xing unleashed the skill, Shen Yun was also engulfed in it.

He believed, if not for the system’s feature of ally damage immunity, even he might have perished in that explosion.

Han Xing promptly pasted the Blast Flame Arrow skill information.

[Blast Flame Arrow]: Instantly condenses a mass of Fire Element power, gathers it at the arrowhead, deals explosive damage in a range determined by agility * 0.1 meters, damage coefficient is 233% of attack power, cooldown time is 15 seconds.

This was also the first time he used this skill after his Second Transformation.

Unexpectedly the effect exceeded his expectations greatly.

The main issue was its ridiculously large range of destruction.

Over 60 meters in diameter!

Han Xing’s innate agility was 475 points, after changing two pieces of Golden Equipment, it had already reached 534 points, and further boosted by the Blessing of Honor, it had reached a whopping 657 points!

Hence, resulting in such an exaggerated visual effect.
