At this moment, in Xingyu City, Lanlan and the others saw Han Xing and the team coming out and also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before they could relax for long.

They suddenly saw the entire mountain range in front of them start to shake wildly.

Boom!

Rumble!

In the shocked eyes of the crowd.

A jet of flames soared from the charred mountain range.

A terrifying creature, over a kilometer long and two meters thick, emitting radiant flames all over its body, burst out from the earth.

When it appeared, it was as if half the sky was illuminated.

Globules of lava, carrying a scorching aura, splattered onto the ground, making hissing sounds.

In front of everyone, the attributes of this creature also appeared.

[Magma Worm: (Four-star Leader Level)]

[Level]: Level 42.

[Attributes]: Power 1532, Agility 1347, Spirit 1754, Constitution 1496.

[Skills]: Molten Rock Shell, Flame Breath, Explosive Flame Spray.

Just the outward appearance of this monster gives off an overwhelmingly shocking vibe!

Plus, its level far exceeds that of the current survivors.

If it were an ordinary survivor team, one encounter might lead to total annihilation.

However, Han Xing and the team have been baptized by the Blood Tide, and their equipment quality has surpassed the current level standards.

Additionally, after everyone's third transformation, two powerful skills have been newly learned.

Dealing with the four-star leader monster at a higher tier isn't a difficult task.

The previous retreat was only due to the unfavorable terrain for battle beneath.

If one accidentally falls into a lava pool, it would be a great disaster.

But now, everyone has returned to an open area, entirely unafraid of this four-star leader monster!

From the sky, a great sword descended, carving a huge wound on the Magma Worm's body.

It was Cheng Jianyong's attack, 'Sky Sword'.

The next moment, a massive ice spear shot forth, striking the Magma Worm and making hissing sounds.

Han Xing and Su Xiaoyang's arrow attacks also erupted at this moment.

Puff, puff, puff!

Each attack carried immense lethal power.

The Magma Worm was beaten until its body convulsed constantly, occasionally spitting fiery lava bombs from its mouth.

Snap! Snap, snap!

These lava bombs landed in the mountains, creating large black pits.

And some of the lava bombs fell above Xingyu City.

Blocked by the advanced defense shield, producing a series of explosive sounds.

Ripples appeared on the energy shield.

Han Xing noticed.

The defense value of the shield dropped by more than six thousand points.

Before, he might have panicked.

But now, with the advanced defense shield boasting a hundred thousand defense value, it's utterly negligible.

At this moment.

Coal Ball flickered, appearing above the head of the Magma Worm.

The next instant, ten Void Spikes erupted.

The Magma Worm's defense was significantly weakened.

After so many days of cooperation.

When everyone saw Coal Ball appear, they knew what they should do next.

All the while.

Everyone unleashed their burst skills.

In the sky, a meteor with a diameter exceeding five meters and a height over twenty meters descended from the sky, striking fiercely on the massive body of the Magma Worm.

It was Zhang Lianmeng's newly learned advanced skill after the third transformation, meteor technique.

Boom!

With a dull explosive sound.

The Magma Worm was struck by this giant meteor, its body collapsing to the ground, spraying hot liquid from its mouth.

Though the meteor technique is a fire-based burst skill, weakened by the Magma Worm's shell.

However, just the terrifying impact of the giant meteor was enough to greatly injure the Magma Worm.

Then, Su Xiaoyang's Elf Arrow and Cheng Jianyong's Sword Qi also struck the massive body of the Magma Worm.

Each time the Magma Worm struggled to get up.

It was suppressed back to the ground by Coal Ball and Shen Yun.

Alongside, there was Han Xing occasionally delivering fatal damage.

After being ravaged by everyone.

The Magma Worm perished.

The system prompts appeared.

[Successfully killed 'Magma Worm', Four-Star Leader-level creature, gained 8.42 million experience points.]

The formidable combat power displayed by the five people left Lanlan and the others watching in shock.

Even such a formidable existence was handled by them as if dealing with ordinary monsters, being ravaged unilaterally.

Moreover, it seemed that these five hadn't fully showcased their strength.

In full burst mode, just how strong are they?

Everyone couldn't help but speculate in their hearts.

However, Han Xing and the team didn't feel much, in these days, they've already killed many powerful monsters like the Magma Worm.

Looking at the massive corpse on the ground, Han Xing also skillfully stepped forward.

Then, clicked on decomposition.

The system prompts appeared.

"Decomposition successful: obtained thick skin of fire-based creature*1024, obtained Lava Crystal Stone*72, obtained Magma Worm Heart*1…"

As the entire body was decomposed, the corpse of the Magma Worm vanished.

At this moment, a system prompt appeared.

[This Sky Island is currently unclaimed, would you like to merge it?]

"Yes."

[Successfully merged, your territory area has expanded, and you have acquired territory resources: charred black soil, lava pool*1, refined iron ore vein (rich)*1, green jade gemstone ore vein (rich)*1, lava crystal stone ore vein (rich)*1, purple gold ore vein...]

The system gave tips on over a dozen types of ores.

This means that everyone's speculation was correct.

The mountain indeed contains very rich mineral resources.

Han Xing picked up a few bright red stones from the ground, and there was a hint of joy at the corner of his mouth.

[Lava Crystal Stone]: A stone containing intense power of flame, which seems to be used for embedding into equipment, slightly enhancing fire element damage, and can also be used to craft equipment.

This type of crystal had been introduced before, and its preciousness goes without saying.

Moreover, among the global survivors, the Mage profession was the majority.

Therefore, items like these that can increase magic damage were also sold at extremely high prices.

On the trading channel, a single lava crystal stone even reached over ten thousand spirit cores apiece.

Still, money couldn't necessarily buy it.

Han Xing initially thought that underneath this Sky Island, there would at most only be dozens of scattered lava crystal stones.

Unexpectedly, he directly obtained a whole ore vein!

If fully mined, at least a thousand 'lava crystal stones' could be obtained!

For a moment, Han Xing also felt fortunate about his luck.

Of course, not all Sky Islands contain such precious minerals.

This was the most valuable Sky Island they had explored in these five days.

Then, he looked again at the giant mountain in front of him.

The overall area of this mountain was almost equal to that of Han Xing's Sky Island.

If it were merged, the territory area could expand again by a factor of two.

However, Han Xing felt that the mountain looked charred black and was not very aesthetically pleasing on the Sky Island.

Thus, he chose to merge the mountain at the very bottom of the Sky Island, as a keystone.

Now the entire Sky Island's area hadn't changed, but it was visibly thicker by a significant amount.

Its height even exceeded four kilometers!

From afar, everyone could see that this massive Sky Island had a rich geological structure.

The bottom was charred black, containing a huge lava pool.

The middle layers were deep red, which was also valuable mineral resources.

Further up, one could even see a faint gold color.

Currently, Han Xing didn't plan to mine all the ores from his territory.

After all, as the person with the most resources among global survivors now.

He could just take a round in the trading channel to get what he wanted.

After merging this Sky Island,

Han Xing was also satisfied, looking at his current territory.

Through exploration and expansion over the past few days, various new terrains were constantly appearing above.

Now, Han Xing's Sky Island looked more and more like a large scenic area.

The overall area already exceeded sixty square kilometers, with all kinds of terrains.

Mountains, forests, lakes, rivers...

And at the center of these primitive landscapes,

There was a brightly lit, luxuriously decorated small town.

Like a modern city suddenly appearing amidst the deep mountains, giving a strong sense of contrast.

If someone accidentally stumbled upon it, they would probably be amazed.

After that, everyone continued to start fighting again.

Five hours later.

Dusk began to fall.

Han Xing also announced that today's battle was over.

Everyone wore relaxed smiles, beginning to organize the day's harvest.

After a full day of combat, Han Xing finally leveled up to level 35!

This means he could now equip that brand new orange longbow!

His face showed a look of anticipation.

Then he took out from his backpack a longbow with an overall white jade color, incredibly lightweight.

Next, the attributes of this weapon appeared before him.

[Valkyrie Longbow (Orange) lv35, Quality: Epic, Attack Power: 513~547, Agility+150, Power+100, Hit Rate+20%.]

Attached Effect: Illusion-Breaking (ignores 300 Armor), Night Chasing (increases Movement Speed by 40%), War Instinct (Legendary Effect, reduces all skill cooldowns by 50%)

Note: Legendary Skills' cooldowns cannot be shortened.

[Valkyrie's Fury]: Epic Effect, upon activation, skill damage increases by 50%; each attack additionally ignores 50% of the opponent's armor (for creatures above Legendary Level, the Armor Piercing Effect is halved.)

Effect Duration: 300 seconds, Cooldown: 600 seconds.

At this moment, Han Xing couldn't help but marvel.

This thing truly deserves the name Valkyrie Longbow.

All the attributes enhance the personal combat capability of a survivor.

Including those effects, all aimed at strengthening damage and improving attributes, each more powerful than the last.

Especially that final Epic Effect, all attacks additionally ignore 50% of the armor!

Han Xing was surprised; it completely ignores armor based on a percentage.

For instance.

Currently, among everyone, Shen Yun had the highest armor, with as much as 842 armor points.

The first Illusion-Breaking effect on the [Valkyrie Longbow] directly ignores 300 armor points, increasing the damage dealt by more than 30% (armor-piercing attributes are not diluted.)

At this moment, Han Xing activated Valkyrie's Fury again.

It directly reduced Shen Yun's armor to below 300.

Each of Han Xing's arrows was nearly a fatal attack!

The actual damage dealt even exceeded 90%!
