Chapter 511 - 511: Xiao Xiao Long’s Encounter (2)
“You are right!”
“Didn’t you guys get attacked by monsters last night?!’1
“Nope!”
Xiao Xiao Long explained.” We were robbed by them yesterday, and all of us think that we probably couldn’t survive as everyone was quite injured and depressed….”
“However, when we thought about the girls in their hands, we didn’t give up. We followed the marks they left behind and tracked them all the way to their stronghold…”
‘We didn’t dare to advance rashly. After remembering their location, we are thinking of coming back to ask for help…”
“On the way back, we have already made up our minds. No matter how many monsters attack, one has to come back and inform you all…”
” Who knew? There weren’t any large-scale monster attacks along the way, so we rushed back overnight…”
During this period, they encountered some ordinary monsters. They were captured and handed over to Xiao Xiao Long and the other crippled people to kill so that they could recover their bodies.
“Oh right, Enhancers who have been enhanced more than fifty times are known as threshold level warrior…”
The threshold level!
The corner of Zhao Yu’s mouth twitched. This was only the zero-tier stage. It was not even the first-tier, and there was even a threshold level…
“Aside from the Threshold level, are there any other levels?” Zhao Yu curiously asked Xiao Xiao Long.
“I don’t know…”
“I only heard them mention it. I don’t know what levels are above Threshold…”
The capability to use first-tier genetic potions after fifty enhancements seemed reasonable to be called Threshold level.
Zhao Yu asked some more questions.
Only then did he learn that their journey hadn’t encountered large-scale monsters, unrelated to Xiao Xiao Long and his group.
When Xiao Xiao Long was heading towards the camp earlier, he also hadn’t encountered any formidable monsters.
“So, aside from being attacked by large groups of monsters at night, there are no formidable monsters if you travel towards the camp during the day…”
After all, the large-scale monster attacks at night were clearly to drive them towards the camp.
“What about Deng Xue Ling! Where is she?”
Xiao Xiao Long parched from speaking, noticed Deng Xue Ling wasn’t nearby.
Zhao Yu sighed, “She didn’t make it, she died in the second night…”
Died!
Xiao Xiao Long was shocked. Deng Xue Ling’s strength wasn’t inferior to his, yet she died ahead of him.
“The day you left, we were attacked by ten to twenty elite monsters. If it wasn’t for time running out and the monsters retreating, more people might have died…”
Just among their group, the mortality rate had already reached 70%. Staying in the same place would probably result in even more deaths.
Zhao Yu guessed that if they hadn’t left in the first day. They would probably have faced a boss level monster.
“How many strong fighters do we have in our school now, can we rescue our people?!” Xiao Xiao Long’s purpose in returning was to seek reinforcements.
“Threshold level plus me makes four, what about your side?” Zhao Yu nodded and said.
After all, they were classmates, rescue was indeed necessary. Those who attacked Xiao Xiao Long clearly knew about the camp. Capturing one to inquire about the situation was also a good idea.
“Just me…” Xiao Xiao Long was a bit embarrassed, having thought that going out alone would make them stronger.
Who knew…
Zhao Yu suddenly realized something, his heart jolted.
“I understand now!”
“What?!”
“I remember now, when we were attacked at night, whether it was ordinary or elite monsters, killing them would enhance our strength…”
“After we split up, while walking on the road, several who had enhanced themselves more than twenty times found that killing ordinary monsters no longer increased their strength…”
Only more than twenty times?!
Zhao Yu recalled that during the first night attack, it wasn’t until his enhancement count reached fifty that killing ordinary monsters stopped enhancing his strength.
Like him, there were naturally others, and soon many who had enhanced themselves more than twenty times stated that they still gained strength from killing ordinary monsters.
Many had killed elite monsters yesterday night and the four who reached the Threshold level, besides Zhao Yu, were Qin Ming Yong, Cai Shu Ying, and Yin Fang Long.
At the same time, they revealed that it was only after exceeding fifty enhancements that killing ordinary level monsters no longer increased their strength.
“However, killing elite monsters still enhanced my strength, but I don’t know when it will stop…”
Qin Ming Yong, who had killed three elite class monsters and several ordinary ones last night, now had fifty-eight enhancements, a bit stronger than Xiao Xiao Long in terms of single enhancement count.
“How many times have you enhanced now?!” Xiao Xiao Long quickly asked Zhao Yu after hearing the description from Qin Ming Yong.
“I’m maxed out!”
“I’ve enhanced myself a hundred times now, I can hardly improve anymore!” Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said.
“A hundred times?!”
Everyone was astonished.
But thinking about it, it seemed normal.
After all, when they were still low in enhancement counts, Zhao Yu had already reached about fifty enhancements. Now that they were at fifty, it seemed easy for Zhao Yu to have reached a hundred!
Only Xiao Xiao Long and others felt a bit downcast.
When they left, they were considered among the strongest.
But upon returning, they had fallen to a second tier.
Especially Xiao Xiao Long who had previously considered himself stronger than Zhao Yu, but now…
Xiao Xiao Long wondered if he not left, perhaps he would not has made it so far like Deng Xue Ling.
“When and where did you find that killing ordinary and elite monsters stopped enhancing your strength?”
“About ten kilometers north from here…” Xiao Xiao Long honestly stated about his observation.
“North?!” Zhao Yu was curious how he determined the direction.
“It’s what I overheard those people casually talking about…” Xiao Xiao Long recalled: “After they won, they were thrilled to get our zero coins, saying they could exchange them for many things…”
“They also regretted not being able to enter through the south gate of the camp…”
“So, I predicted that there are limits to enhancing strength here…”
“I do agree with you. For example, being attacked by a large group of monsters at night and during the day are different…” Zhao Yu also voiced his finding.
“The limit for enhancing strength by killing ordinary monsters is twenty times during the day and fifty times during a large-scale night attack…”
“The limit for elite monsters is fifty times during the day, and maybe an unlimited counts at night…”
Everyone nodded in agreement, as the conclusion seemed reasonable based on many examples.
“Xiao Xiao Long. On your side, there were no large-scale monster attacks at night?!”
“None!”
Xiao Xiao Long nodded and continued.
“After advanced north for ten kilometers, there’s a man-made road running east to west…”
“We followed the road for a while and didn’t notice anything unusual, so we continued on…”
“That road might be the dividing line, past it there probably won’t be any monster attacks us at night…”
Everyone was delighted to hear this.
Compared to Xiao Xiao Long and his time, the large-scale monster attacks at night seemed more terrifying.
According to their theory, the longer they stayed at the same place, the stronger and the more monsters attacking at night would become.
They already faced attacks from ten to twenty elite monsters class each night, and maybe tonight there might even be a boss class monster.
If there was only one, Zhao Yu should be able to withstand it, but if there were more…
Tonight’s might be a disaster.
Zhao Yu and the other leaders quickly held a small meeting.
Two things were decided in the end.
One was to rescue people, deploying fifty people with more than twenty enhancements, including five Threshold level fighters.
The second discussion topic was relocation.
Before nightfall, they would lead the large group north, trying to cross the dividing road before the attack.
However, before setting off to rescue, Zhao Yu and Xiao Xiao Long tested their skills.
“You’re definitely stronger than their leader!”
Xiao Xiao Long was full of admiration, “Their leader might be around sixty to seventy enhancements…”
“The other Threshold level people are basically the same as me, just over fifty times…”
“According to the theory, north of the dividing road, killing elite monsters above fifty times doesn’t enhance anymore, then it should only be possible to kill boss monsters…”
After discussing the rescue details, they made all the necessary preparations and set off..
