Chapter 209 Battle for the rankings, meeting the challenge of the Ice Dragon Horn (6000)
"Axing, do we want to go out in the afternoon?"
After hearing this question, Cao Xing thought for a moment.
Then he shook his head and said: "We won't go out for the time being. We will continue to refresh the status of the Wild Boar Warriors and Ascalon Warriors in the afternoon."
"At night, I'm going to use the Ice Dragon Horn to level up."
"We are currently in the standings period, and there will be a small probability of boss-level creatures and leader-level creatures appearing in the Ice Nest. Let's see if we can make a breakthrough in the rankings."
Hearing this, a peaceful smile appeared on Liu Muxue's face.
"Okay, I'll fight with you."
She was not worried, after all, she had already used [Ice Dragon Horn (Small)] once before.
Although there were many ice nests that were smashed down at the same time, they were completely able to carry them down.
Moreover, during this period, the strength of the territory has once again experienced a qualitative surge, and it is easy to deal with more ice nest monsters.
However, what Liu Muxue didn't know was that this time Cao Xing was going to use the medium ice dragon horn, which was several times more difficult than the last time.
Of course, high difficulty means high returns.
Last time, Cao Xing killed tens of thousands of ice nest monsters in six hours and gained a lot of experience points and more than 40,000 ice dragon marks.
This time, a conservative estimate is that there will be at least four times the number of monsters.
In other words, if Cao Xing wants to do the same as last time, he will maximize the income of each ice nest.
We must kill at least 300,000 ice nest monsters!
This is a terrifying amount!
Although these ice nest monsters will not appear at the same time, they are still very scary.
Then, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue began to add various states to the warriors.
Time passes slowly...
In the blink of an eye, the afternoon passed.
Through the efforts of the two, all combatants and staff in the territory have been assigned a new group status [Thought of Faith].
And Cao Xing also used [Source of Extreme Ice] one after another, adding this powerful golden state to all key members and sixty Ascalon warriors.
There is no way, [Source of Extreme Ice] has a five-minute cooling time, and it is still in single state.
If Cao Xing wants to attach all the hundreds of people in the territory, it will take at least a day or two.
at the same time.
The sky has darkened.
Wait until all staff return to the territory.
Cao Xing looked at the combatants and said, "Get ready. I will summon the power of the dragon again tonight."
"A large number of ice nests will descend on our territory. This will be a tough battle!"
Hearing this, hundreds of combatants looked stern.
The three newly joined dragon-blooded female fighters instantly raised their spears.
Alice said with a solemn expression: "Are they those damn Ice Nest monsters again? These dragon minions have destroyed countless cities and taken away the lives of a large number of our people."
"This time, I will crush them all!"
Phoenix next to her also said: "Yes, we must drive the power of the dragon out of this continent at all costs!"
Seeing their serious expressions, Jonad stepped forward and comforted them: "Those personal guards of the Holy Lady, don't be so nervous, just relax."
Hearing this, the three female dragon-blooded warriors looked at him with some confusion.
Alice solemnly said: "How can you relax? That is the power of the dragon! Have you forgotten the damage Dolma caused to our homeland?"
"Even those weak ice nest monsters will quickly reach a terrifying number when they gather, enough to destroy huge cities!"
"This territory is still too weak now and will be swamped by those monsters in an instant!"
Jonard was startled, then shook his head.
"Of course I know that the power of the dragon cannot be underestimated, but now the dragon is still in the recovery stage, and its minions are not that powerful."
"As for you saying that this territory is weak, they don't think so."
"You will know by looking at the reactions of these soldiers."
Hearing this, the three female fighters looked at the Wild Boar Warriors and Ascalon Warriors at the same time!
At this moment, the group of wild boar warriors had excited expressions on their faces.
The wild boar leader Rab stood up and said: "Cheer up, tonight we will kill more enemies than those Ascalon warriors!"
The other wild boar warriors said excitedly: "Oh! We are going to show off our skills tonight. We will definitely perform better than those Ascalon warriors!"
"Haha, you're right. The power given to me by the lord makes my blood boil!"
"The beast god is above, he will see my heroic appearance killing everyone!"
The Ascalon warriors next to them also looked excited.
Warrior Captain Yaskin ordered.
"Attention everyone! Last time we only fought for a few hours before we were exhausted and had to retreat. We lost the majesty of the lord."
"This time, we must fight to the end!"
"By the way, we must not lose to those wild boar warriors!"
Upon hearing this, the other Ascalonian warriors immediately grasped their weapons and shouted.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
They had already experienced a large-scale attack by the Ice Nest, and they were still bitter about their exit midway last time.
Everyone started gearing up.
Not only were these combatants not at all afraid of the battle at night, they actually looked forward to it.
The team of archers, including Elisa, did not say anything more, but immediately began to check the arrows in their arrow baskets.
There was confusion in the eyes of the three dragon-blooded female fighters.
"You should have seen it," Jonard said.
"The warriors in this territory are not afraid of the dragon at all. In comparison, they are more afraid of not exerting enough strength and not killing more enemies."
"Even when facing a giant dragon, they maintain an optimistic attitude."
"This mentality makes them more comfortable in fighting. Although we, the Norn clan, are a fighting nation, we also need to learn this spirit."
The three female dragon-blooded fighters listened thoughtfully, and then nodded solemnly, "I understand, thank you for your advice."
…
at the same time.
The combatants all entered the canteen to enjoy today's dinner and replenish their strength before the battle.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, opened the chat channel to see what major things had happened since the first day of the merger.
After glancing at the chat history, he roughly understood the situation in Area 17.
After a day, the survivors have adapted to their new companions.
The captains of each major region also survived the large-scale attacks by the ice nest monsters.
Although...it's just a bit difficult to fight.
In order to show their strength, the leaders of these large groups followed Jiang Qingyun and used the [Ice Dragon Horn].
However, they all underestimated the power of the Ice Dragon Horn.
Ice nests continue to fall, and more ice nest monsters continue to hatch.
As time goes by, the difficulty continues to rise.
Later, even if they tried their best to destroy the ice nest, they could not keep up with the speed of the monsters appearing.
Moreover, all the ice nest monsters hatched in the current ice nest are second-level ice nest monsters. There are also a large number of elites among them, and some bosses will occasionally appear.
There was even a leader-level ice nest monster!
So this resulted in a lot of casualties on the first day.
All major legions have lost many survivors and recruited creatures.
However, behind these casualties, the level and points of those who survived increased.
Those group leaders killed a large number of ice nest monsters and participated in the last-ditch attack, and each of them gained a lot of experience.
The lowest ones have been upgraded by 2 levels, and the high ones have even been upgraded by 4 levels.
Now, the first echelon of the more than 200,000 survivors in Area 17 has reached level 189, and third-level survivors are about to appear.
After glancing at the information in the chat channel, Cao Xing almost understood the general situation.
"Yes, although the challenge of Ice Dragon Horn is very difficult, the benefits are also very high."
"These people are upgrading very quickly."
Although compared to Cao Xing, their upgrade speed is simply not impressive enough.
But compared to other survivors, this speed is soaring like a rocket.
In addition to the soaring levels of the major legion leaders, another thing that has attracted the attention of the survivors is the current [Points Ranking] rules.
They discovered that the points ranking was calculated based on the entire territory.
In other words, an arrow tower in a territory recruits creatures and other survivors to destroy the ice nest, or kill the boss-level ice nest monster.
All points earned will only be counted towards the lord.
Seeing this rule, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
"If it's calculated this way, it's a bit troublesome."
"Because in this case, I want Muxue to also gain points and win the first place with me. The idea of rewarding the second place will not work."
"Unless...let Muxue go out and develop a new territory now."
Cao Xing shook his head and quickly rejected the idea.
Obviously, asking Liu Muxue to develop a territory now is equivalent to starting everything over, and even with Cao Xing's help, a lot of time will be wasted.
"In addition to this method, there is another way, which is through cooperation with other survivor lords."
"I provide him with military support, help him win the rankings, and then let him give me the reward."
"Of course, this requires a trustworthy person, and I don't know anyone well, so forget it."
After thinking about it for a while, Cao Xing couldn't think of any suitable solution.
Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on this issue for now.
After all, there are still nine days left for the leaderboard challenge, so there is no rush.
I took a look at the current rankings.
【17 District Points Ranking】
[First place: Jiang Qingyun 227 points]
[Second place: Chen Feng 213 points]
[Third place: Gao Yiyi 207 points]
[Fourth place: Huang Xinhai 202 points]
…
[Tenth place: Nan Yiman 183 points]
…
Obviously, the top ten in the current rankings have been occupied by the legion leaders from various regions. They all start with a minimum score of 180.
Because the number of [Ice Dragon Horn (Small)] dropped in six hours was at least 160.
In addition to the bosses and leaders hatched inside, points will be awarded after killing them.
Therefore, by using an [Ice Dragon Horn (Small)], you can get a minimum starting score of 160 points.
After reading the rankings, Cao Xing nodded.
"The leaders of these regions are still quite capable, and they have actually completed the first wave of Ice Dragon Horn challenges."
"However, the casualties of these legions are quite serious."
"For six hours of fighting in the Ice Nest, more than a hundred people from each legion died."
"This battle loss ratio is still very high, almost equivalent to one-third of the combatants in a territory."
"In a short period of time, they should not be able to use the Ice Dragon Horn for the second challenge."
…
As Cao Xing expected, most of the legions at this time were exhausted and severely weakened.
Looking at the corpses on the ground outside the territory, everyone had a heavy look in their eyes.
However, it was the Wangjiangge Legion that suffered the most deaths.
In order to maximize profits, Jiang Qingyun also wants to imitate Cao Xing and wait until some of the monsters inside hatch out before destroying the ice nest.
However, when he discovered that the number of ice brood monsters appearing at the same time was beyond imagination, it was already too late.
At this moment, he looked at the more than 150 mutilated corpses in the territory, with regret flashing in his eyes.
He did not regret the deaths of these people.
But because the losses were so big this time, it would be a bit troublesome to recruit people again.
Jiang Qingyun pretended to be sad and comforted him for a few words, and then asked his men to dispose of the corpses.
How to deal with it is unknown.
Jiang Qingyun came to the edge of the territory and also clicked on the [Points Ranking].
When he saw that he was firmly ranked first, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, although I made a lot of sacrifices, I finally won the first place, and Cao Xing did not enter the rankings."
"It seems that this kid is just lucky. He got that kind of powerful fish by chance. His real strength is not actually strong."
During the day, after Jiang Qingyun was targeted by Cao Xing, he failed to purchase the two precious fish meats, and his attributes were inferior to those of other group leaders.
He even sent people to find other survivors privately to buy them.
However, after the other party saw that they were from District 171, they decisively rejected the transaction.
This made Jiang Qingyun very angry.
At the same time, there was a sense of crisis in my heart.
But now through the rankings, Jiang Qingyun deduced that Cao Xing was not strong, and he gradually relaxed in his heart.
Jiang Qingyun thought to himself: "Next, as long as I continue to maintain this momentum, it will be a good thing to win first place."
"Then, use the recruitment scroll to summon a commander-level creature, and go directly to find Cao Xing's territory."
"When the time comes, I will make him unable to live or die, and understand what will happen to those who offend me!"
Having said this, a sinister smile appeared on Jiang Qingyun's face!
He looked at an old man with a vicissitude of appearance and short gray hair next to him, and then said: "Mr. Liu, let me know, we will continue to use the ice dragon horn and start the second round of battle."
But the old man named Mr. Liu shook his head and said: "Young Master Jiang, I think we need to pause for a while. We can no longer use the Ice Dragon Horn."
"Huh? Why?"
Jiang Qingyun asked doubtfully: "I am now a level 4 lord hut with a population of more than 400. Even if more than 100 people died today, aren't there still nearly 200 combatants?"
Hearing this, the old man in front of him sighed, "There are still two hundred combatants."
"But they have all been fighting at high intensity for a day, and they can hardly hold on any longer."
Hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Jiang Qingyun's eyes.
He asked again: "After the duration of the first wave of Ice Dragon Horns ended, didn't I let them take turns to go out and fight, while the others rested in the territory? How could they not hold on?"
The old man sighed: "They took a total of almost two hours of rest today. The rest of the time they were fighting non-stop. Their bodies and minds have reached their limits."
"The current combat status of these regiment members is getting worse and worse, and the casualty rate has also begun to increase."
"Young Master Jiang, let them have a rest, and you, too. There is something wrong with your condition."
The old man said in a serious tone.
He had already seen the bloodshot eyes in Jiang Qingyun.
However, Jiang Qingyun's face gradually turned gloomy.
"Rest? How can I rest at this time?"
"We finally won the first place, and we must keep it at this time!"
"Moreover, you have all seen how terrifying the benefits are after using this ice dragon horn, a full 50% experience bonus!"
"Today, most of the combatants on the field have upgraded one or two levels, and I have also rushed directly to level 19. It won't be long before I can reach level 20, and then complete the third level advancement!"
Ice Dragon Horn can choose experience bonus or material bonus.
For Jiang Qingyun, the experience bonus is naturally more important.
Although most of the ice nests were directly destroyed by them, they still killed a large number of ice nest monsters.
However, Jiang Qingyun does not have Cao Xing's [Eternal Power] talent and cannot share everyone's experience.
But he can also get some experience from his subordinates, and he only needs to contribute some output.
For example, an Ice Nest monster has 1,000 HP. If you touch it casually, it will get 50% of the experience.
Therefore, Jiang Qingyun's level soared very quickly.
Including the powerful men from several other regions, they all tasted the benefits of [Ice Dragon Horn].
With this thing, if they can use it continuously, they can all reach level 20 or even level 30 in a short period of time!
Of course, this requires extremely strong strength.
Even Cao Xing couldn't do it before.
Just when Jiang Qingyun decided to let these members continue fighting.
The little girl next to him said: "Dad, those uncles look so pitiful. They have been bitten by those monsters many times, and they still have to fight."
"Can you give them a break?"
The little girl in front of her had an innocent look on her face, and her big innocent eyes looked at the man in front of her with a pleading look.
Hearing the girl's clear voice, the anger on Jiang Qingyun's face gradually disappeared.
He said in a gentle tone: "Okay Yingying, dad listens to you."
"Then let them rest for a while."
A happy smile appeared on the face of the little girl in front of her, and then she hugged Jiang Qingyun's waist, "Thank you, Dad, Dad is the best!"
Jiang Qingyun also had a doting smile on his face and touched the girl's head.
At this time, he turned around and looked at the old man next to him and asked: "Mr. Liu, where are the second group of members I recruited from the nearby territory today? How long will it take for them to arrive near my territory?"
The old man said respectfully: "Young Master Jiang, the second group of members are on their way."
"We encountered some accidents on the way, a few died, and there are more than 200 people. We will arrive at the territory in about half an hour."
Jiang Qingyun nodded and said: "Okay, then wait for another half hour."
"After these newcomers arrive, expel the old members from the territory and let them rest nearby."
Speaking of this, Jiang Qingyun added.
"My territory doesn't have enough population, so I can't recruit everyone."
Upon hearing this, the old man said: "Okay, Mr. Jiang."
Half an hour later.
The second batch of survivors from Wangjiang Pavilion rushed to Jiang Qingyun's territory.
Jiang Qingyun looked at the excited survivors below.
Through today's battle report, they knew that the members who fought with Jiang Qingyun had all been promoted several levels.
However, Jiang Qingyun reported good news but not bad news, and did not tell other regiment members the battle casualty rate.
These survivors thought that coming to participate in the battle was a benefit given to them by Jiang Qingyun!
Seeing their excited looks, Jiang Qingyun also had a smile on his lips.
Then, he took out another ice dragon horn and clicked to use it.
A system prompt appears.
Regional announcement: "Survivor Lord: Jiang Qingyun has used the Ice Dragon Horn (Small). In the next six hours, some territories will not be attacked by the Ice Nest. Please work together to arrange development time for these lords."
…
now.
The chat channel was filled with calls!
Fan Zeyu: "Damn it! Jiang Qingyun actually used the Ice Dragon Horn again. Didn't he just use one in the morning?"
Zhao Yandong: "Yes, this is too powerful! What kind of existence can use the Ice Dragon Horn continuously!"
Ye Zheng: "As expected of being number one in the rankings. It seems that Mr. Jiang Qingyun is bound to get the reward for being number one in the rankings this time!"
Listening to everyone's admiration for Jiang Qingyun.
The survivors of Wangjiang Pavilion said proudly in the chat channel after they had swept away their depression during the day.
"That's for sure, our boss Jiang Qingyun is a true activist."
"This time he is bound to win the top spot in the rankings, unlike someone who only uses some behind-the-scenes means."
"That's right, don't think that you can do anything to us if you don't trade with our Wangjiang Pavilion. Even without your fish and meat, it won't have any impact on us at all."
However, this time, the yin and yang of these people in Wangjiang Pavilion was not echoed by others.
After all, they had seen the situation during the day.
It would be great fun if Cao Xing did the same thing as the people in Wangjiang Pavilion and stopped trading with them.
The survivors in Area 174 retorted: "It's nothing to use an ice dragon horn. Our boss Cao Xing already used it a few days ago."
"That's right, Cao Xing just hasn't exerted his strength yet."
But the people from Wangjiang Pavilion counterattacked: "I just listen to you bragging about how strong he is. If he has the ability, can you let him use an ice dragon horn to see?"
"That's right! You can't even enter the rankings, why are you still bragging here?"
The survivors in Area 174 were speechless.
After all, what the people in Wangjiang Pavilion said was true.
And just then.
A zone announcement appears.
Regional announcement: "Survivor Lord: Cao Xing used the Ice Dragon Horn (middle). In the next six hours, some territories will not be attacked by the Ice Nest. Please work together to arrange development time for these lords."
The chat channel was silent for a moment, and then there was a strong sensation!
