77: Chapter 77: Frenziedly Farming Kill Points, Countering Every Move

On the east side of the territory, the battle was already in full swing.

Wei Xuanqi's three heroes and 20 Troop Types were firing at full capacity, slaughtering wildly within the monster tide.

Although they were only Tier 2, their Epic Grade quality spoke for itself.

Even Tier 3 Void Monsters were nothing more than roadside weeds before them, killed with a casual wave.

Furthermore, they all possessed area-of-effect skills, wiping out large swathes with every strike.

A mere 23 individuals had managed to forcefully hold back the monster tide.

However, the number of Void Monsters was simply too high, reaching over a million; no matter how strong they were, they could not kill them all.

Lin Xiao arrived shortly after, but he did not rush to intervene.

He certainly did not want to drop a Meteorite and accidentally catch Wei Xuanqi's army in the crossfire.

No matter how powerful these Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types were, they were only Tier 2 and could not withstand a falling Meteorite from the Burning Sky Flame Dragon.

Wei Xuanqi was nowhere to be seen on the battlefield.

Unlike Lin Xiao, he did not possess a title like "eternal lord." No matter how much he was willing to invest resources into himself, his current strength would not be very high, far inferior to his heroes and Troop Types.

Appearing on the battlefield would only make him a liability.

Wei Xuanqi was well aware of his own limitations, so he hid in a safe steel fortress in the rear.

Without stepping outside, he remained fully informed of every change within his territory through functional detection buildings.

As messages were exchanged, the two quickly finished their communication.

Upon receiving Wei Xuanqi's order, the heroes and Troop Types battling at the front retreated without hesitation, breaking free from the monster tide's encirclement in the blink of an eye and moving quickly away.

"Begin."

Lin Xiao nodded and issued the attack order to the Burning Sky Flame Dragons.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

A familiar scene played out; as the terrifying Meteorites fell, the east side of Wei Xuanqi's territory instantly turned into a sea of fire, and countless Void Monsters were annihilated in an instant.

"Holy crap..."

Watching that world-destroying scene through the detection building, Wei Xuanqi could not help but curse.

"The skill power of these Epic Grade Dragons is just too exaggerated..."

"They are truly worthy of being called super-spec existences."

Wei Xuanqi was thoroughly convinced.

Super-spec meant super-spec; even a top-tier lord like him became an ordinary lord in front of them.

The skill power of the Burning Sky Flame Dragon had clearly exceeded the scope of Tier 3 Epic Grade.

If one of those hit his territory...

Wei Xuanqi shuddered. If he had a Level 3 territory with all stats maxed out, he might be able to withstand it, but right now, he would just be wiped out in one wave.

Fortunately, they were in the same faction.

He felt immensely relieved.

Wei Xuanqi's heroes and Troop Types were also terrified.

They knew reinforcements had arrived at the territory.

But no one told them that these reinforcements would be so terrifying...

"I'll leave the cleanup to you."

Lin Xiao did not care about that; after dropping the Meteorites, he sent a message to Wei Xuanqi.

The remaining Void Monsters were not worth wasting another Meteorite on.

"Alright, alright."

Wei Xuanqi quickly replied.

As he issued the order, his heroes and Troop Types did not dare to delay, immediately charging into the sea of fire and slaughtering toward the Void Land.

With their strength, the residual power of the Meteorite could not hurt them.

The remaining Void Monsters were even less worth mentioning.

A moment later, the Void Land on the east side was cleared out.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

It did not take long for the Void Land surrounding Wei Xuanqi's territory to be completely cleared.

"That's it?"

Watching the last monster nest turn into ruins.

Wei Xuanqi's heroes and Troop Types were somewhat incredulous; this was just too easy.

In the past, whenever they cleared the Void Land, it was always a bloody battle that took half a day.

Now, they only needed to be responsible for holding the monsters at the front and cleaning up at the end, requiring almost no effort; it was so easy that they were not quite used to it.

The only thing that was terrifying was the sight of those falling Meteorites, but after seeing it enough times, they got used to it...

"Do you dare to connect to the tenth layer of the Void Land?"

Lin Xiao asked.

"Why wouldn't I?"

Wei Xuanqi responded quickly.

Although connecting to the tenth layer of the Void Land so early carried some risks for him, he trusted Lin Xiao and was willing to give the latter a hand.

"Thanks."

Declining the invitation from Wei Xuanqi to chat in the main city, Lin Xiao returned to his own territory.

Looking at the more than four million slaughter points added to his attribute panel, a smile could not help but appear on his face.

"Continue."

Lin Xiao immediately contacted the next Prodigy.

As Meteorites exploded in the territories of the Prodigies, Lin Xiao's slaughter points rose like crazy.

The only pity was that the number of people was too small.

Only five people had connected to the ninth layer of the Void Land; the others would have to wait a bit longer.

Among these five, three accepted Lin Xiao's proposal and quickly opened the regional treasure chests, allowing their territories to connect to the tenth layer of the Void Land, while the other two chose to refuse.

Lin Xiao had nothing to say about this.

For a Tier 2 lord, the tenth layer of the Void Land was indeed too dangerous.

If Lin Xiao had an accident, their territories would never be able to withstand a monster tide of that level.

After all, there were gaps between Prodigies.

Among this batch of Prodigies, the vast majority only had one Epic Grade hero or one batch of Epic Grade Troop Types, and the highest level of building in their territories was only perfect-grade.

They were far from true Prodigies like Wei Xuanqi and Yun Zhiyue.

The risk was too great, so it was normal for them not to agree.

However, the other two Prodigies, whose strength was not much higher, had decisively agreed, which surprised Lin Xiao a little.

Regardless of whether they were gambling, Lin Xiao noted this favor.

During the period of farming slaughter points, Lin Xiao's territory was not without incident; four lords had invaded.

These invaders had various methods.

Some turned invisible as soon as they entered, some burrowed underground, and some entered a defensive stance upon entry, reaching an incredible level of defensive strength...

Their goal was only one: to survive in Lin Xiao's territory by any means necessary.

Lin Xiao understood that this was also a form of probing by Dicas.

If he could not quickly resolve the invasion and then retaliate to take out the invaders, it would not be long before his territory's coordinates were pinpointed by Dicas.

Moreover, it did not matter even if the invasion failed.

Through these losers, Dicas could indirectly learn some information about Lin Xiao's territory.

Lin Xiao countered every move, resolving them one by one.

The invisible ones could not escape Qian Ying's keen senses, the burrowers were shaken to death by a hammer strike from Zhong Yue through the ground, and the ones in defensive stances were even simpler; there were plenty of ways to break their defenses.

After resolving the invaders, Lin Xiao immediately retaliated.

In the invaders' territories, he soon encountered more targeting and probing from Dicas.

For example, anti-air buildings.

And for example, heroes with powerful anti-air skills.

...

Lin Xiao resolved all these targeting attempts and probes; in the face of absolute strength, no amount of tricks held much meaning, at most buying a little more time.

This was still the stage of probing and gathering intelligence; Dicas could not possibly build all the invaders' territories to the level of Wei Xuanqi's.

It was not necessary, nor was it realistic.
