Chapter 938 - The Stairway Trees New Rules (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Mutated Serpents were densely distributed in the underground serpents’ den. It made it much easier for Bai and the rest to perform the slaughter. Their efficiency was much higher than when they were trying to clear the hornets’ nest.
Despite the fact that it could not be compared to their efficiency during the arrival of the army of Combat Hornetdemons, Lin Huang managed to earn about 50 million Stairway Tree points every minute.
If they were to go further up to checkpoint 58, the next checkpoint with monsters would be checkpoint 61.
However, considering that there were not that many Luna Beasts on checkpoint 61, Lin Huang did not choose to pa.s.s checkpoint 58 and go further up. Instead, he decided to stay on this checkpoint and continue hunting for monsters.
It lasted for more than seven hours until the sky turned dark. The system did not force Lin Huang to leave either.
Bai and the rest had killed more than 40 million Mutated Serpents in the last seven hours. The total Stairway Tree points Lin Huang had gained had increased by more than 25 billion. However, despite a large amount of spiritual energy being inserted into the Ninetails Lynx’s G.o.d Figurine, still, it did not manage to level-up to purple gold-rank.
“According to its progress, it seems like if I were to upgrade a G.o.d Figurine from white gold-rank to purple gold-rank by absorbing spiritual energy alone, it’s going to take up to hundreds of millions of points.” Lin Huang knew that the spiritual energy required by G.o.d Figurine would increase later on. However, he was surprised by the consumption of a purple gold-rank. “That being said, there are nine Combat Souls and I’ll need to kill at least 900 million high-level immortal-level monsters. However, that’s only an upgrade from a white gold-rank to a purple gold-rank. The consumption by one rank up…”
Right while Lin Huang was secretly calculating this, b.l.o.o.d.y’s voice was suddenly heard. “The sky is turning dark soon. Shall we go offline? Or shall we deal with the next wave of monsters?”
“Let’s stay for the next wave of monsters.” Lin Huang raised his head, gazing at the sky. In fact, dusk was falling and it would probably turn completely dark in less than half an hour. “Let’s make it through the night. We go further up tomorrow and there’s no need to stay on the 61st checkpoint. The Luna Beasts aren’t densely distributed there and it’s going to waste a lot of our effort. Let’s go straight up to checkpoint 63. We can then go offline and rest.”
“Alright!”
b.l.o.o.d.y did not mind at all since its combat strength was already on imperial-level. There would not be much effect on it even if they were not going to sleep for months. It had asked so because Lin Huang would sleep every day and rarely stayed up all night.
The main reason why Lin Huang did not like to stay up all night was that he had gotten used to pulling all-nighters when he was on Earth.
However, it would be fine for Lin Huang to stay awake for one night. If an ordinary person did not sleep for the whole night, one would only feel tired the next day. An immortal-level might probably feel tired after not sleeping for a month, but they would definitely feel nothing after staying awake for the entire night for a day.
After 6 p.m., the sky gradually turned dark.
The members of the Genius Union had either gone offline or returned to their stopping point on the Stairway Tree.
However, Lin Huang stayed on checkpoint 58. Seeing the images b.l.o.o.d.y projected, the monster horde was about to begin. He had recalled all the monster cards and quickly returned to the starting point of checkpoint 58. He then summoned all the imperial monsters that were adept at killing in a group, patiently waiting for the arrival of the monster horde.
At about 6.30 p.m., it was pitch black. That was when the monster horde appeared!
On the 58th checkpoint of the Stairway Tree, all the Mutated Serpents that were hiding underground during the daytime swarmed out, heading towards checkpoint 55.
After several moments, the first wave of Mutated Serpents b.u.mped into Lin Huang.
Because Lin Huang the rest were blocking their way, they triggered the Mutated Serpents’ rage. They could clearly sense human aura which they really despised.
Sensing the existence of Lin Huang, the Mutated Serpents went berserk and pounced towards him. However, before they could approach him, they fell into a variety of traps set by Ghastly.
