The system said there were monsters inside. If it were an ordinary Sky Island, Han Xing would have swept through with siege crossbow arrows by now.
A range of five kilometers would be enough to comprehensively cover and strike.
However, doing so would destroy the bamboo forest's ecology.
After pondering for a moment, Han Xing decided to lead everyone in and slowly clear out the monsters inside.
Shortly after stepping into the bamboo forest, a few soft-bodied creatures suddenly dangled down from above, attacking Han Xing at lightning speed.
"Watch out!" Shen Yun hurriedly warned from behind.
Feeling the wind from behind, Han Xing quickly rolled on the spot.
He discovered that a green venomous snake, only as thick as a thumb, had appeared where he originally stood.
[Green Shadow Snake (Two-Star Ordinary Creatures)]
[Level]: lv15
[Skills]: Intermediate Neurotoxin, Rapid Assault.
There are monsters!
Han Xing was instantly on alert.
The reason why he hadn't noticed them earlier while passing by.
Was because these creatures' skin was too similar in color to Jade Core Bamboo, making them hard to detect without a close look.
Moreover, there was more than just one.
After the first snake's sneak attack failed, at least dozens of Green Shadow Snakes dangled down from above.
"Prepare for battle!"
Han Xing was the first to draw his bow and arrow, and the Wind Chasing Arrow was released.
The arrow precisely hit the head of the Green Shadow Snake on the ground.
Poof!
Headshot.
The arrow pierced through the Green Shadow Snake's head, pinning it to the ground. It twisted frantically, and after struggling for a few seconds, it ceased to live.
"Hiss! Hiss hiss!"
In the air, the snake swarm attacked the group.
At this moment, Shen Yun raised the Holy Hammer high and shouted, "Submit to the Holy Light!"
Bam!
The hammer, covered with a layer of holy light, struck the ground, erupting into a brilliant flash!
The snake swarm suddenly suffered from the scorching holy light, the intense light robbing them of their vision.
[Power of Radiance]: Passive Skill, all skill effects of the Radiant Knight are increased by 20%, all attacks add a Holy Light Punishment effect, during defensive state, an additional layer of holy light effect is added to the shield, reducing received damage by 20%.
This skill added a layer of Holy Light Punishment to Shen Yun's ordinary attacks.
Previously, everyone did not understand what this meant.
But now, they realized that the so-called Holy Light Punishment effect was indeed formidable.
It directly turned Shen Yun's attacks into area attacks, and even added a blinding effect, truly terrifying.
Everyone looked at Shen Yun in surprise as he displayed a slight smug smile at the corner of his mouth.
Cheng Jianyong opened his mouth to complain, "Showing off!"
After speaking, he raised his great sword and cut a Silver Shadow Snake in half with a single strike.
Shen Yun ignored his taunt, swinging the hammer continuously.
Bang! Bang bang!
With each hammer strike, the group felt waves of white light flash before their eyes, even interfering with their combat.
Cheng Jianyong seemed a bit overwhelmed at this moment and said, "Damn it, stop smashing, our brothers are almost blinded by you!"
Shen Yun was about to retort, but he saw that Han Xing and Zhang Lianmeng were also closing their eyes.
At this moment, Shen Yun realized that the holy light effect accompanying his attacks was indeed a bit too dazzling.
He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "You guys go ahead, you guys go ahead, hehe, I'll just support you."
After speaking, he cast a Blessing of Courage on Zhang Lianmeng.
Zhang Lianmeng felt a strong power surge from within her body.
Then, she unleashed a group magic spell.
"Lightning Chain!"
Crackle... Crackle, crackle!
The magic staff released a massive amount of lightning power, pouring towards the Green Shadow Snake swarm.
The next moment, dozens of Green Shadow Snakes stiffened simultaneously, then convulsed violently.
When the effect of the lightning chain dissipated.
On the ground, only charred corpses of Green Shadow Snakes remained.
Zhang Lianmeng slightly opened her mouth in surprise and said, "What... a powerful amplification effect!"
Her magic damage was already high, and with Shen Yun's blessing, her attack power soared by another 20%.
In one wave, she even completed a clearing effect.
Everyone was amazed by the effect of the Blessing of Courage.
Cheng Jianyong quickly said, "Damn, Xiaoyunzi, give me a blessing too, so I can rush in and slaughter them crazily!"
Shen Yun gave him a sidelong glance, "The cooldown isn't over yet."
"Alright," Cheng Jianyong replied disappointedly.
After Zhang Lianmeng's clearing wave.
The threat from the Green Shadow Snake swarm was mostly eliminated.
Then, Han Xing and Su Xiaoyang transformed into machine gun shooters, madly firing arrows to clear out the remaining Green Shadow Snakes.
With Han Xing's Madness Skill increasing his hit rate by 100%, it could be said that as long as he didn't intentionally shoot astray, he could basically hit the enemy.
With each shot, he could precisely hit either the Green Shadow Snake's head or its vitals.
As for Su Xiaoyang, although her hit rate wasn't as high as Han Xing's, her attack speed was much faster than his.
Pow pow pow!
In no time, the ground was littered with Green Shadow Snake corpses in all directions.
The silhouette of Coal Ball flickered, constantly performing finishing moves.
Two minutes, the group of Green Shadow Snakes declared completely wiped out.
System notifications started flooding the screen at this time
[Killed Green Shadow Snake (Two-Star Creatures), gained 4500 Experience Value.]
[Killed Green Shadow Snake (Two-Star Creatures), gained...]
One Green Shadow Snake gave 4500 experience points, totaling 73, which is nearly 330,000 experience points.
At this moment, a white light rose from Shen Yun's body.
Yesterday he reset his profession and dropped back to Level 10, now after this wave of monster farming, he's directly leveled up to Level 11.
Shen Yun immediately put back on those pieces of equipment with level requirements, greatly boosting his attributes again.
Then, Shen Yun exclaimed, "Team play is great, if it were usually just Cheng Jianyong and me, we'd probably get mobbed to death by this group of Green Ring Snakes with just one encounter."
"Even if we could beat them, it would take a long time."
Han Xing nodded, "Yes, now that the system has adjusted, even monsters inside the Sky Island give a lot of experience, everyone's leveling up speed will be improved."
Shen Yun asked, "Brother Xing, how much more do you need to reach Level 15?"
Han Xing looked at his experience bar and replied, "Almost there, currently at 63%."
330,000 experience points directly gave him a 21% increase in experience, calculating it this way, from Level 14 to Level 15, requires nearly 1.57 million experience points.
"Not much more, should be able to reach Level 15 today."
Everyone nodded, once Han Xing reaches Level 15, he can equip the Kingdom Ring, by then his strength will be boosted again.
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a scream from behind.
"Aooo!!!"
They turned around and saw Cheng Jianyong, who was cleaning up the battlefield.
Shen Yun glared over, "Cheng Jianyong, what are you screaming for?"
At this point, Cheng Jianyong was speaking in terror, "Damn it! I got bitten!"
Everyone quickly raised their weapons, however, they didn't find any trace of the Green Shadow Snake.
Then, Cheng Jianyong turned around, with a Green Shadow Snake over a meter long hanging from his butt.
Han Xing: "..."
Shen Yun: "..."
Zhang Lianmeng and Su Xiaoyang both turned their faces away, a bit embarrassed to look.
This scene immediately amused everyone.
"Hahaha, idiot!" Shen Yun didn't hold back in mocking.
Cheng Jianyong exclaimed excitedly, "Come on, stop laughing, quickly help me get this poisonous snake off my butt!"
Han Xing, upon hearing, directly shot an arrow, effortlessly piercing through the seven inches of the Green Ring Snake.
Phtang!
The corpse of the Green Shadow Snake fell off Cheng Jianyong's butt.
However, even after the crisis was averted, Cheng Jianyong's complexion didn't improve.
Not only that, his entire skin was rapidly turning blue and purple,
Cheng Jianyong said tremblingly, "Oh no, I think I'm poisoned by the snake, Xiaoyunzi, quickly suck it out for me!"
Shen Yun gave him a blank look, "Suck your sister, wait for death!"
"Damn it, are you a real brother?" Cheng Jianyong was utterly incredulous.
Of course, everyone knew Shen Yun was joking.
With that, Shen Yun directly cast a 'Purification Technique' on Cheng Jianyong.
The gentle Power of Holy Light entered his body, and Cheng Jianyong immediately felt the snake venom within him dissolve instantly like snow under a scorching sun.
Within seconds, Cheng Jianyong's complexion returned to normal.
He let out a long sigh and laughed, "Not bad, Xiaoyunzi, after changing profession to Radiant Knight, even the Purification Technique is so awesome."
The passive skill of the Radiant Knight is to enhance the effects of all skills by 20%, including the Purification Technique.
After the battle ended.
Han Xing looked at the corpses strewn across the ground.
He remembered that on the Green Shadow Snake's panel, there was an Intermediate Divine-level Poison Skill.
"Intermediate… should be more potent than Basic Neurotoxin."
Venom like this can be applied to arrows, carrying a strong poison effect.
Han Xing had tried it before, the effect was remarkable.
Cheng Jianyong personally testified this properly, Level 15 Green Shadow Snake venom could cause severe damage to these Two-Star Professionals.
And the speed of venom corroding the nerves is extremely fast, if not for Shen Yun's timely Purification Technique, within half a minute, Cheng Jianyong might be fully corroded by the poison.
Thinking of this, Han Xing immediately decided to collect all the venom sacs from these Green Ring Snakes.
[Do you want to dismantle Green Ring Snake corpse*74...]
"Yes."
[Dismantling successful, obtained Two-star Beast Hide*74, obtained Snake meat*203, obtained Green Shadow Snake Venom Sac*74, obtained Snake Gall...]
Han Xing felt pleased, 74 venom gallbladders, each can enchant 300 or so arrows with poisonous effect, enough for him to use for a long time.
After clearing this wave of monsters, the team continued deeper into the bamboo forest.
The Sky Island is over three thousand square meters, not too big or too small.
After walking for a minute or two, the team finally reached the center of the bamboo forest.
But after this, they didn't encounter any more monsters.
At this moment, a system notification arrived.
[You have successfully explored this Sky Island, the Sky Island Territory is currently unclaimed, you can choose to merge it into your territory or abandon it.]
The five of them looked at each other.
Han Xing asked, "Who wants this territory?"
Everyone glanced at each other and shook their heads.
Han Xing did not stand on ceremony, directly said, "Alright, then I'll merge it."
The Jade Core Bamboo resources on this Sky Island territory are quite good.
[Successfully merged Sky Island Territory, you obtained Sky Island Fragment*3746, obtained Territory Resources Jade Core Bamboo (Mature Period)*3451, Jade Core Bamboo (Seedling Period)*10142, Green Ring Snake Eggs*123, Spring Water*412...]
