Chapter 50: So big, so fierce, so many resources have come in!
Half an hour later, Shen Xing led his troops back to his territory.
He then distributed the soul stones he had earned that day to the troops in his territory.
And so they repeated the steps, brushing for two days in a row.
During this period, Shen Xing also used [Sacrifice Evolution] to upgrade Little Skeleton Black Arrow to Elite 3 stars and Dire Wolf to Elite 1 star.
They activated the skills: [Dark Arrow Rain] and [Wolf Pack Call].
The former, as its name suggests, can unleash 2-3 waves of arrows, dealing corrosive and penetrating damage to enemies.
Once activated, the latter can summon 3 to 5 wolf phantoms to assist in the battle.
Overall, these are all very practical skills.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, which was the thirteenth day after Shen Xing entered the game.
Today, they went to the Blackwater River early in the morning again and had a great time.
If it weren't for the limited time available for exploration, they would all want to spend twelve hours a day here.
"They're here again, and there are quite a few this time." Xia Wanyin hid behind a boulder, closed her eyes, and sensed the movements coming from the riverbank.
"understood."
Shen Xing, seated in his wheelchair, raised his arm and shouted, "Blood Roar! Roar! Charge!"
"waaaaagh!!"
The two orcs roared and charged out like wild beasts released from their cages.
The wolf riders charged in succession, like a sharp knife, breaking apart the enemy's formation.
The double-axe berserker transforms into a spinning top, unleashing a storm of blades that spins wildly.
As for where he got his [Blade Storm] skill, it's obviously because he stole it from Hellroar.
After all, soldiers with good aptitude have a certain learning ability.
Although he has only learned the basics so far and has not yet grasped the essence of "Blade Storm".
But this guy who yells is the smartest.
Relying on his strength and speed, he used brute force to imitate Hellroar's spinning motion, insisting that he was performing the authentic Blade Storm.
"Hahaha! I really am a genius! I've mastered [Blade Storm] so quickly, and the spin time is even longer! Even Hellroar can't compare to me!"
He roared as he looked around at the corpses scattered on the ground, a proud smile on his face.
After the battle, as usual, the battlefield was cleaned up.
Just then, Roar came over, wielding two axes, and reported, "Boss, I found something strange on the back of a giant Naga!"
"What is it?" Shen Xing asked, puzzled.
"A black stone, it looks like it's still alive!"
"A living rock?" Shen Xing's interest was piqued. "Let me see it!"
"yes!"
He roared and opened his right hand, revealing a black object about the size of an adult's palm, shaped like a flat, round clam shell.
Shen Xing's lips twitched. "Isn't this a clam? What kind of rock is this?!"
He took the clam; it felt heavy and substantial in his hand.
The black clam shell is smooth and translucent, with no marks on the surface, as if it had been polished.
Even through the clam shell, I could sense faint movements inside; it was indeed still alive.
"Could there be pearls hidden in here?"
Shen Xing lifted it up and stared at the gap in the middle of the clam shell, but could not see anything.
"Shen Xing, the lamp oil seems to be almost used up," Xia Wanyin suddenly said softly.
Shen Xing casually tucked the clam into the cloth bag at his waist, then glanced at the lantern: "Hmm, about one-fifth left, enough for the return trip."
He thought for a moment and continued, "Let's do one last round, then we'll go back after we've divided up the filth."
"Okay."
Xia Wanyin nodded slightly, then asked with some doubt, "However, we've been searching here for four days, and we still haven't found that Naga wearing the bracelet."
She paused, then spoke again, "Shen Xing, don't you think this mission is a bit strange?"
"That businessman seems to be hiding something from us."
Shen Xing's expression shifted slightly: "Huh? So you noticed too?"
"Huh?" Xia Wanyin asked blankly, "You already knew?"
Shen Xing laughed and explained, "This merchant initially said that his deceased wife's bracelet was picked up by a Dark Naga, and then he told us to find a Naga wearing the bracelet, which is not very reasonable."
"After all, the Dark Naga we've encountered so far have all been low-intelligence creatures, no different from wild monsters. What kind of Naga would steal someone else's bracelet and wear it on their own?"
"And then he demanded that we kill the other party, which made it even more abnormal."
Listening to his analysis, Xia Wanyin realized the problem: "Then... is he lying to us?"
"It's not that they're lying to us; there might be some deeper secret."
Shen Xing shook his head: "But it doesn't matter. Even if this mission is fake, we've already made enough money these past few days."
The two of them earned nearly a thousand Soul Stones by grinding here for four consecutive days, which was equivalent to the earnings of the previous one or two weeks.
With so many resources, what more could you ask for?
"Splash... splash..."
A series of splashing sounds rang out, and the two immediately ended their conversation.
Clearly, the dark naga in the river have been lured ashore by the bait again.
However, this time the commotion seems to be a little different.
More than half a minute has passed, and there is still the sound of water splashing.
A dense swarm of swimming sounds echoed on the shallows, as if a large group of dark naga were approaching the shore.
"Be careful, something's not right," Shen Xing warned in a low voice.
"Okay." Xia Wanyin nodded solemnly, her expression gradually becoming serious.
They carefully sensed the movements ahead.
When those figures with human bodies and fish tails stepped into the firelight, the scene before Shen Xing made his eyes widen instantly.
Rows of Dark Naga appeared in large numbers, and as they drew closer, they created an immense sense of oppression.
"Shen... Shen Xing, I sensed the presence of many monsters." Xia Wanyin's voice trembled slightly.
Shen Xing swallowed hard. This was more than just a lot; it was practically a small army!
A quick glance revealed that there were already over a hundred of these Nagas.
Even more outrageous is that there were several elite-level auras among them.
At that moment, Shen Xing noticed a peculiar figure standing at the very front of the Naga Legion.
The upper body is that of a human female, with skin as white as paper, like a corpse that has been soaking in water for a long time.
The scales on its lower body were even deeper, like pieces of black crystal pasted onto its body.
She had long, dark green hair that cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore a metal mask on her face.
When Shen Xing's gaze shifted downwards, he was immediately startled.
This woman is huge, no, she's fierce!
Dark Naga Priestess: Celia
[Level: 9]
[Potential: Leader ★]
[Attributes: Strength 134, Spirit 195, Agility 157, Constitution 162]
[Skills: Water Bullet, Black Water Tornado, Corrosive Rain, Black Wall, Dark Assault]
[Talent: Blessed by Blackwater (Casting speed +30% when fighting in water terrain)]
[Synergy - Naga Legion (100 members activated): Armor +10%, All Attributes +20%, Legion Skill - Overturning the Seas (Activated)]
...
Shen Xing: "Σ(⊙▽⊙「a!!!")
A level 9 boss creature has appeared, a peak-level sixth-grade elementary school student!
Before he could even be surprised by the opponent's strength, something even more shocking happened to Shen Xing!
"You lowly humans, it is you who are slaughtering my people!"
This Naga priest actually spoke human language, her voice emanating from beneath her mask, chilling to the bone.
"Kill them!"
The next second, swarms of Naga surged toward them like a floodgate opening.
"run!"
Shen Xing quickly put the bait on the ground into his backpack, then had Dahou carry him and they ran like madmen.
Xia Wanyin, who was standing next to her, was also frightened. The Naga's attack was fierce, and they didn't even have a chance to talk.
Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately led the other light elves to turn and flee.
The two teams, each carrying a lantern, raced through the fog!
However, the Naga were clearly not going to let them off easily and continued their relentless pursuit.
Furthermore, they activated a bond for 100 people, increasing all Dark Naga attributes by 20%!
What does this mean?
Keep in mind that after breaking through to elite level, each additional star only increases attributes by 10%.
The bonus from this bond alone is comparable to the boost from two stars.
The distance between the two was rapidly closing, and they could even feel the chilling aura behind them.
"You lowly humans, may you perish in the cold river!"
A deep, siren-like voice sounded beside me, accompanied by the splashing of water.
Looking back, a huge waterspout was spinning rapidly, swirling towards them with overwhelming force.
Shen Xing felt a chill run down his spine.
Just as Bloodhowl was about to activate [Charge] to escape, Xia Wanyin's Light Shield Guard stepped forward once again, casting a light shield to desperately block the attack.
"Click! Click!"
The massive waterspout crashed against the barrier of light, producing a series of cracking sounds.
The attack power of the level 9 boss was truly terrifying. In just one round, it blasted cracks into the light shield, and it looked like it was about to shatter completely.
"Shen Xing, let's run to shore," Xia Wanyin said quickly. "We can't let these Dark Nagas stray too far from the water."
"it is good."
Shen Xing responded quickly, then suddenly raised his right hand, and a ghostly green flame rose from his palm, rapidly depleting his mental energy.
Immediately afterwards, a fireball trailing flames pierced through the thick fog and hurtled towards the very center of the pursuing Naga army!
The Naga priestess hesitated for a moment when she saw the attack coming from above.
In the end, he managed to thwart the water tornado attack, raised his staff to condense a ball of black water, and blasted it into the sky.
The water bullet, compressed to its limit, collided with the hellfireball, instantly producing a violent hissing sound and billowing smoke.
During this time, Shen Xing and the others had already created a considerable distance between themselves and the others.
"You can't escape!"
The large and fierce Naga priest was clearly not going to let them off so easily, and continued to wave his staff.
Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared overhead, and a light drizzle began to fall, dripping onto them.
—Rain of Corrosion.
Covered in this eerie black rain, not only did my skin experience a burning, stinging sensation, but my mobility also visibly decreased significantly.
The beastmen howled in pain, their entire bodies burning with agony.
Fortunately, Shen Xing managed to take out the wolf skin and put it on his head in time, otherwise he would have been soaked to the bone by the black rain.
But during this time, the Naga priest caught up again, and the distance between them was rapidly closing!
Just then, Xia Wanyin suddenly took out a golden scroll and flicked her right hand.
"Buzz!"
A blinding golden light burst forth, as if a sun had risen from the spot, instantly illuminating an area of hundreds of meters in radius.
Neither the corrosive rain from the sky nor the mist that enveloped the surroundings could be contained in this wave of golden light.
Shen Xing was secretly alarmed.
This power is probably at least equivalent to a second-tier transcendent-level spell scroll!
On the market, a single spell scroll like this costs at least six figures.
"Hurry up and go."
Taking advantage of the enemy being suppressed by the golden light, they accelerated their run again and rushed into the depths of the thick fog.
When the group of Dark Nagas recovered from their "blindness," the surroundings were completely empty.
The leading white-clad priest stood rooted to the spot, his eerie green eyes beneath his mask fixed on the direction the two had fled.
...
...
A dozen minutes later.
The two teams finally stopped near a "black crystal tower".
Thinking back on what just happened, I still feel a bit terrified.
Being chased by hundreds of Naga, including a level 9 boss, is really thrilling.
"Phew... I'm finally rid of them."
Xia Wanyin patted her rather large chest, and color gradually returned to her pale face.
She looked at Shen Xing beside her and saw that he was not saying a word, so she thought he was frightened by what had just happened.
"Shen Xing, don't worry. Although these Dark Nagas hold grudges, it won't be easy for them to find us."
Xia Wanyin gently comforted her, "At worst, we won't go there to grind monsters for the next few days, we'll just find another place."
However, Shen Xing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. We still have to go back."
"Huh?" Xia Wanyin asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because our quest item is on that Naga priest just now."
