Chapter 96: One Hundred Million Experience Points, A Bountiful Harvest!
Entering the central area.
Song Qi looked up and immediately spotted the volcanic crater not far ahead. Yet this crater was unusually low, only a few dozen meters high, and its surroundings were piled with all sorts of black rocks.
“This crater is likely not naturally formed,” he thought. “It’s very probable that after the Abyssal Flame Demon was dropped here, it actively used its supernatural powers to reshape the environment and make it more habitable for itself.”
Song Qi instantly deduced the origin. The black rocks scattered about were magma stones formed after the lava cooled. Judging by their shape and the scorched yellow grass nearby, it was clear the crater hadn’t been carved out for long.
In other words, the Abyssal Flame Demon was very likely slumbering within.
An eighty-level monster already possessed the power to alter its surroundings in a small area.
“I don’t know whether to call this luck or misfortune,” Song Qi muttered helplessly.
He hadn’t expected to stumble so directly upon what was likely the boss’s lair simply by picking a random direction.
After some thought, he took out his map and marked the location. Deciding to circle around and clear out the lesser monsters before tackling the boss, Song Qi waved his hand, signaling Ying Zheng and Lu Bu to turn.
The three made a small detour and pressed onward...
A dozen minutes later...
“We’re here.”
Song Qi pulled the reins, elated.
Before them appeared a vast horde of monsters!
The creatures now in their path were lizardmen whose skin resembled red-hot iron bars. These lizardmen stood upright on two legs, their groins covered with a few leaves or scraps of cloth. Nearly every one brandished a shiny black stone weapon.
Behind them lay camps, reminiscent of tribal settlements. The lizardmen wandered within set boundaries, pacing back and forth.
Song Qi tapped for information...
Monster: Magma Lizardman
Level: 55
Strength: 1600
Constitution: 1600
Agility: 1100
Spirit: 800
Skills: [Magma Manipulation] [Fiery Breath] [Obsidian Crafting] [Fire Attribute Resistance]
...
“Level fifty-five? Then the experience should be around sixty thousand.”
“And here, the monsters number…”
Standing on his horse, Song Qi surveyed the area and estimated.
“There are five camps in total, each with about a hundred lizardmen nearby.”
“So, all told, there should be roughly five hundred lizardmen here?”
“With the triple experience card, that means…”
“Ninety million experience points?!”
The moment the calculation hit him, Song Qi felt his throat go dry!
“Goodness, did I get it right? Sixty thousand times three is one hundred eighty thousand, multiplied by five hundred… yes, that’s over ninety million!”
After confirming his math, Song Qi felt his blood racing, his heart surging with excitement!
“Nearly a hundred million experience points?! How exhilarating is that?”
A month ago, he’d still been slaying zombies for a measly twenty experience points each. Now, a month later, he was counting experience by the tens of millions!
He glanced at his own stats.
He was currently level thirty-six, with his experience bar halfway filled. This round would be just enough to level him up twice—thirty-eight!
One step closer to level forty!
“This isn’t a survival competition at all, it’s clearly an upgrade playground prepared for me by the human council!”
The result left Song Qi grinning from ear to ear.
Such leveling speed was simply unheard of.
He even wished he could participate in the genius tournament every day!
“Well then…”
Snap.
Another triple experience card was crushed in his hand.
“Begin the slaughter!”
Boom!
Lu Bu and Ying Zheng charged forth instantly!
It was already late afternoon, and their skills had fully cooled down. Moreover, thanks to Song Qi’s level increase, Ying Zheng’s terracotta cavalry had risen to seven.
Paired with Lu Bu, eight cavalry formed a razor-sharp arrowhead, storming the enemy camp with unmatched speed!
“Roar!!!”
The patrolling lizardmen let out furious cries, but in the next moment, their voices were abruptly silenced.
A crimson figure streaked past like lightning, and countless heads, accompanied by blood rich in fire element, soared skyward!
Behind Lu Bu, the seven terracotta cavalry split off, wielding bows and spears, pinning down stray lizardmen one by one.
Lu Bu focused his assault on the densest cluster of enemies, while the terracotta warriors swept up the leftovers, ensuring not a single monster escaped.
[Experience +210,000]
[Experience +210,000]
[Experience +210,000]
...
The high experience points poured relentlessly into Song Qi, his experience bar rising at a visibly astonishing speed!
“Wonderful, wonderful! I didn’t expect I’d underestimated it. Each lizardman grants seventy thousand experience points?”
Song Qi’s grin was unstoppable.
Now, level thirty-eight was firmly within his grasp!
