Han Xing murmured softly, "Jade Bamboo Core, 700 Spirit Cores each, selling them all would amount to nearly 7 million Spirit Cores, which is quite a significant income."

"Then there's the Blue Backpack, its market price has risen again, probably because of the merge region reason, the demand has increased."

"So I can slightly adjust my pricing upwards, after all, everyone's level has caught up, and they have more resources on hand. For now, I'll price it at 60,000 Spirit Cores per backpack."

"If I sell them all, it would be a value of one or two billion Spirit Cores."

Thinking of this, Han Xing's eyes lit up with joy.

Just these two things alone are enough for him to make a huge profit.

And these are just a small portion of Han Xing's inventory.

He glanced at another item, the stock of Purple Backpacks.

During this period, through his continuous efforts, he gathered Strong Beast Hide materials everywhere, and also made more than 5,200 of them.

This is Han Xing's main asset.

"Purple Backpacks are currently rare in the entire trading channel, if you want to sell, you should at least price them at 250,000 Spirit Cores each."

"Although it seems a bit high, there will always be some team leaders from big groups who can afford it."

"Calculating like this, it's worth 1.3 billion Spirit Cores!"

"Besides, there's over ten thousand bottles of Intermediate Life Secret Elixir and more than eight thousand bottles of Wild Bear Power Secret Elixir, selling all these hoarded items could bring in almost 2 billion Spirit Cores!"

He didn't realize until he counted, and he was startled by the numbers.

Han Xing was only focused on being a hoarder, without ever considering the total value of his assets.

When it was time to sell them, he finally realized how valuable these items were!

"Good, good, good!"

"After this wave of trades is completed, I shouldn't be short of materials for a while!"

Han Xing felt thrilled.

At this moment, he glanced again at the crafting interface.

The item currently being crafted is the Curse-Blood Antidote.

This elixir is the most urgently desired item by billions of survivors on Blue Star.

If it were to be sold, setting a price would be quite tricky...

Just as Han Xing was pondering what price to set.

About a hundred kilometers away from his territory, there was a giant Sky Island over ten thousand square kilometers in area.

However, this Sky Island was currently in ruins.

The Sky Island seemed to have just been invaded by Blood Tide Monsters.

The territory had tattered tents all over, and various severed body parts of creatures...

Thousands of corpses lay haphazardly, some were humans, others those monsters.

The blood from these corpses continuously flowed, turning the entire platform blood-red.

Amid the thousands of corpses.

A woman, covered in blood and dirt, with a vacant expression, climbed out from the pile of bodies.

She knelt there, glancing around, and upon seeing the hellish terrifying scene, immense fear appeared in her eyes.

Moments later, she seemed unable to hold back any longer and began to cry.

"Sob sob... sob sob..."

This crying woman was Wen Xinling.

Soon after the Blood Tide disaster broke out, she and Jiang Heng encountered an attack by mutated monsters.

In the instant she saw the monsters pounce, Wen Xinling was scared stiff, falling into a daze.

Moreover, her father fainted at that time.

Before she could react, he was swallowed by those mutated monsters.

Wen Xinling's mother screamed in fear and ran without any aim, fleeing frantically.

When those mutated monsters were about to lock onto Wen Xinling, she detected the danger.

In a life-and-death crisis, she amazingly unleashed an incredible survival instinct.

Wen Xinling immediately took her mother to rush to the center of the territory, where there were several catapults, along with a Lord's Cottage.

She thought Jiang Heng and others could stop that group of monsters.

However, she never could have imagined, the hundreds of strong individuals Jiang Heng boasted about were so vulnerable.

In one face-off, countless people died under the tentacles of those mutants.

Amidst the panic, Jiang Heng fled with the remaining members to the territory center, relying on those few catapults to retaliate.

However, the number of monsters was too great, and the assault was too fierce.

Jiang Heng desperately held onto those few catapults as his last lifeline.

He had no time to care about anything else.

He could only watch helplessly as the rudimentary camps were destroyed one by one.

Then watch as the families of survivors were dragged out and devoured by the Blood Tide Monsters.

Through the sacrifice of these people, Jiang Heng continuously operated the catapults, hurling giant stones one after another.

Though they were ordinary catapults, the damage was sufficient.

Several rounds of throwing resulted in hundreds of Blood Tide Monsters being crushed by the immense power of the catapults.

The scale of the Blood Tide Monster attack on them wasn't large, with about a thousand creatures.

The Blood Tide Monsters seemed intimidated by the power of those few catapults and gradually retreated.

After the battle ended, the survivors collapsed limply onto the ground.

The territory originally had over a thousand people, now only seventy or eighty were left alive.

Faced with so many corpses, Wen Xinling went completely numb.

Her heart was filled with agony, regret, and anger.

She kept questioning herself, why didn't she listen to Cheng Jianyong's advice at the time and heed his warning, but decided to run out?

Now she not only failed to find her brother, but also got her father killed!

If it weren't for those few catapults on the territory, whose power was astonishing, blasting hundreds of mutant monsters to death.

Maybe even she would have been buried here.

Moreover, she knows that she hasn't escaped the danger to her life.

Those monsters just ran away, and nobody knows when they might come back.

For a moment, Wen Xinling's heart was filled with immense fear.

At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something.

"Those monsters seem to be quite afraid of catapults! Right! Catapults!"

"I remember there are a lot of catapults on Han Xing's territory, with their strength, they can definitely fend off these monsters!"

Wen Xinling was like grasping the last straw of survival, a glimmer of hope reappeared in her eyes.

She just wanted to contact Cheng Jianyong but suddenly froze, stunned on the spot.

She still remembered the excessive words she said to Cheng Jianyong before leaving.

If she seeks Cheng Jianyong's help now, even she couldn't help but feel overwhelming shame.

However, in the face of death, even if she's ashamed, she can only try to contact him.

(ps: This woman is already dead and will not appear anymore.)

...

In the deep of night.

The moon over the Land of the Abandoned Gods seems to have also been infected by the Blood Tide, becoming fully blood red.

With the blood moon hanging high, everyone felt a sense of unease.

Han Xing just finished counting the resources at hand and was ready for a round of transactions.

Under the blood moon, a figure walked out from the territory and headed directly towards Han Xing.

This person was Cheng Jianyong.

Seeing Han Xing, Cheng Jianyong said with a smile: "Brother Xing, still not resting? What are you up to?"

Han Xing pointed to the flamethrower catapult beside him and said: "Preparing to build another batch of catapults and Thunderbolt Towers to strengthen territorial defense."

"That's great, Brother Xing, is there anything I can help with?" Cheng Jianyong said enthusiastically.

Han Xing shook his head directly: "No."

However, Cheng Jianyong still said enthusiastically: "Well, Brother Xing, are you hungry now? I can slaughter a couple of piglets for supper."

Listening to this guy's remarks, Han Xing said with a peculiar look: "Go ahead, what do you want?"

Cheng Jianyong froze for a moment, hurriedly laughed: "Ah? Nothing."

"No reason you'd be so attentive if there's nothing?"

Cheng Jianyong beamed with a smile: "Really no matter, just came by casually."

"Brother Xing, I'll let you handle your business, I'll go out for a while, see if there's any monsters for me to brush up on, I'll be back soon."

Han Xing frowned and asked: "So late, where are you going? Aren't you afraid of monster attacks?"

"Afraid, of course, afraid!"

Cheng Jianyong replied: "But I'll just take a look nearby, hoping to seize time to level up, and I'll be back soon."

Han Xing looked at him seriously.

Cheng Jianyong felt guilty under his gaze.

A moment later, Han Xing directly exposed him: "Is it because of Wen Xinling?"

Cheng Jianyong froze for a moment, he was about to deny it.

But then he thought about it and knew he couldn't hide from Han Xing.

So he could only smile bitterly and nod: "Yes... Brother Xing."

Upon hearing him admit, Han Xing nodded, thinking it's true.

Cheng Jianyong said helplessly: "Lingling encountered a Blood Tide monster attack over there, Jiang Heng and those over a thousand people are almost all dead."

"And her father... also died in the monster invasion..."

"She was just crying and sent me a message, saying those monsters flew away not long ago, maybe they'll come back soon."

"She also said she regretted not listening to me at the time, hoping I could go save her."

"I, sigh..."

Cheng Jianyong sighed.

Han Xing still did not reply.

At this moment, Cheng Jianyong continued: "Brother Xing, Lingling and I, after all, have been married for so many years, although she's a bit stubborn, she actually has no ill intent."

"This time she's tasted enough of the lesson outside, she'll definitely not be so cocky afterwards."

"Yuanyuan is still young, I don't want her to lose her mother at such a young age..."

Cheng Jianyong looked at Han Xing expectantly, eyes filled with some pleading.

A moment later, Han Xing nodded, "I got it, you go."

Upon hearing this answer, Cheng Jianyong was overjoyed, instantly saying: "Thank you, Brother Xing!"

"Time waits for no one, I'll go now, back in about two hours."

"By the way, don't tell Shen Yun and them!"

After saying that, Cheng Jianyong picked up his weapon ready to leave.

However, Han Xing stopped him at this moment.

Han Xing shook his head and said: "Now outside are wandering Blood Tide monsters everywhere, although there are some catapults and siege crossbow arrows on your territory, ultimately it's lacking."

"If you encounter Blood Tide monsters, you won't withstand them, I'll go with you."

Cheng Jianyong was startled by what he heard, repeatedly refusing: "Brother Xing, that won't do!"

"You still have to preside over the big picture here, anyone can be missing here, except for you!"

"I should go alone!"
