138: sweep across

“All ordinary sprites, retreat! Elders, attack together and capture that human!”

Watching the sprites fall in droves, the Fairy Elder decisively ordered them to retreat.

Then, with an angry roar, she summoned many Elders to rush towards Liu Yang.

“Oh no, the Fairy Elders are going to gang up on Liu Yang.”

“Quick, go support him, otherwise if Liu Yang is finished, we won’t fare any better.”

“Brothers, charge with me! There are only about ten Elders; with so many of us, we can pile on them and kill them.”

With that, a large group of people jumped off the city wall to support Liu Yang.

“Don’t move! All the sprites are mine. You guys just watch.”

Liu Yang noticed the movements of the humans behind him and immediately told them to stop.

He was not the same as yesterday; these few sprites were not even enough for him to bother with.

Furthermore, the double drop rate time was running out, and he didn't want others to kill his monsters.

After speaking, he immediately turned around and aimed his arrows at the Fairy Elders.

Although the Second Kill level wasn't high enough to Second Kill them, not being able to Second Kill didn't mean he couldn't kill the monsters at all.

As long as the attack was strong enough, even basic attacks could kill the monsters.

Thinking this, he loosened his fingers, and an arrow instantly struck a Fairy Elder.

Boom!

A burst of fire exploded, and the Fairy Elder rushed out of the fireball, completely unharmed.

“Alright! It seems with my current attack power, I still can’t break through the Fairy Elder’s defense!”

Seeing the result, Liu Yang shook his head helplessly.

As the saying goes, courtesy demands reciprocity.

After taking a Flame Arrow from Liu Yang, the Fairy Elder wasn't idle either.

With a wave of her staff, a fireball the size of a carriage wheel flew towards Liu Yang.

In response, Liu Yang stood still, waiting for the fireball to arrive.

Boom!

Like the Flame Arrow, the fireball exploded, and Liu Yang casually walked out of the flames.

After upgrading his Immortal Body to the highest level, the Fairy Elder’s attacks were equally ineffective against him.

Looking at the Fairy Elder close by, Liu Yang’s gaze sharpened.

He put away the Flame Bow and took out his wind-thunder spiritual sword.

“Ten Steps One Kill.”

As soon as the words fell, the wind-thunder spiritual sword had already struck the Fairy Elder.

A thin scratch appeared, making Liu Yang happy.

Just then, a nearby Forest Sprite Elder waved her staff, and a green light fell, instantly healing the wound.

Liu Yang was stunned.

“Damn it, it seems that without an Second Kill skill, it’s still no good!”

Since his last resort couldn't do anything to the Fairy Elders, Liu Yang decided not to tangle with them anymore.

He looked at the sprites who had run far away, a sneer on his face.

“With my current attack range, where can you run?”

Saying this, he didn't even look at the Fairy Elders, chasing after the retreating sprites and beginning to attack.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One arrow, one dead sprite.

Seeing this, the Fairy Elders roared repeatedly.

But no matter how they attacked Liu Yang, they couldn't harm him in the slightest.

This made them furious and, at the same time, deeply powerless.

Boom!

Boom!

Two more arrows shot out, and large numbers of sprites died.

However, when Liu Yang shot his third arrow, it only killed one sprite.

“Hahahaha, he’s out of energy! His strange skill can’t be used anymore!”

“Push harder! Once his energy is gone, he might not even be able to use defensive skills. This is a great opportunity to finish him off!”

Seeing that scene, the Fairy Elders instantly became excited and attacked Liu Yang even more fiercely.

However, Liu Yang had already anticipated all of this.

With his over 4000 energy points, Second Kill Mode 2 consumed 100 points per use.

Not counting what was consumed in Home, even at full capacity, he could only use it about 40 times at most.

To put it generously, even if he could kill 30 sprites, Forest Guardians, or Flame Giants at once,

40 uses would only amount to 1200 at most.

Then, under the Fairy Elders’ puzzled gaze,

Liu Yang took out 10 junior energy recovery potions and continuously gulped them down.

“I hope it’s as I imagine!”

Liu Yang drank the energy potions, secretly hoping.

【Junior Energy Recovery Potion: After use, speeds up energy recovery. Depending on the energy cap, duration is 1 - ? hours.】

According to the item description, 1 - ? hours could restore all of the target’s energy.

And this was only the effect of one potion.

The sprites were level 45, and their profession should be magic-based.

It took them two hours to fully restore their energy.

Liu Yang was level 40, with 4000 energy.

If the sprites’ energy values were calculated based on Liu Yang’s, after taking the potion, approximately 33 energy points would be restored per minute.

Then, if ten potions were taken together, 330 points could be restored per minute.

Because the potion didn't say that only one would be effective if multiple were taken together.

From the last time he gave Shi Yufei a medium healing potion, Liu Yang had a feeling that the effects of multiple potions taken together could stack.

Staring at the status page, time passed second by second.

When a full minute had passed, the energy value suddenly jumped, increasing by several hundred energy points.

“Hahahaha, it’s just as I expected.”

Liu Yang was overjoyed, immediately drew his bowstring, and arrows shot out from his hand.

“Impossible! He clearly ran out of energy, how can he still attack?”

Seeing this scene, the Fairy Elders were incredulous, all dumbfounded.

“What the hell is that? Is it an energy replenishment potion?”

Not just the Fairy Elders, but the human side was also stunned.

“It should be, otherwise it doesn’t make sense!”

“My goodness, there’s actually such a thing as energy potions?”

“I thought energy had to wait until midnight to automatically recover! It seems I was ignorant.”

“I really want one! If I had energy potions, I could keep fighting monsters and leveling up.”

Everyone was puzzled and envious.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd.

“Wanting energy potions is simple. Just buy them from the War Points Shop, 5 War Points per potion.”

Perhaps some might ask, if he had this idea, why didn't he use it in Home before?

Very simple, not enough points.

One Forest Guardian was 1 point, and on average, the points produced by each sprite per run was around 7 points.

One potion was 5 points, so using one at a time still earned two points.

But taking ten potions, for 50 sprites, required 2500 points.

Even deducting the 350 points produced each time, a single consumption would still be 2150 points.

If he took two potions at a time, each sprite would result in a loss of 3 points, which for 50 sprites would be 150 points.

With his points, even if he used them all, it would only add about 10 more uses.

The skill book page produced per wave was around 7000, so 10 times would only be 70,000 pages.

Calculating the consumption for upgrading the Second Kill skill later, 70,000 pages wouldn't even be enough for one level.

Considering this, the cost-effectiveness was too low.

Because War Points could buy too many useful things.

But now it was different.

One sprite’s War Points were 10 points; a wave of 20 would be 200 War Points.

After deducting the consumption of ten potions, he could still earn 150 War Points.

Currently, there were many Flame Sprites and few Forest Sprites.

Each Flame Sprite could only summon one Flame Giant.

Each Forest Sprite brought an average of 5 Forest Guardians.

After all, they also had to use other skills and couldn't use all their energy to transform into Forest Guardians.

Overall, the earned points, when averaged across the Forest Guardians and Flame Giants, still resulted in a small profit.
