Everyone's eyes were filled with admiration and fervor. Meanwhile, the player who had taken out the crystal core hurriedly ran over to the injured player and fed it to him.
His face flushed slightly and his aura clearly grew stronger. Only when the crystal core disappeared did the fervent gazes around him gradually fade away, leaving behind a faint killing intent.
Killing and stealing from each other seemed to be a common occurrence in this outer area. Aria even believed that if no one had consumed the crystal core earlier, a battle might have broken out by now.
Her figure disappeared into the darkness. Since Han Gui's story had been confirmed, Aria naturally had no more doubts. She found a place with fewer people. Her figure flashed quickly as she moved. Eventually, she crushed a monster's skull.
Unfortunately, there was no crystal core, which disappointed her a little. However, when she remembered the number of kills the others had to obtain just to get one crystal core, she put away her disappointment, stepped back, and retrieved her triangle military knife from the monster.
...
While Aria was busy killing the monsters, Han Gui had already returned to his residence.
As he pushed the bedroom door open, Xinyue was hugging and snuggling a pillow. Her slender yet curvaceous figure, fair skin, and half-exposed chest exuded a fatal temptation.
He had already 'eaten' twice before he went out, and now he wanted to eat again. However, when he remembered the reason he had returned, Han Gui shook his head. He walked over and patted Xinyue's delicate buttocks.
"Babe, wake up. If you sleep any longer, you'll turn into a little pig."
Xinyue opened her eyes drowsily and looked at Han Gui. She crawled into his arms and snuggled him. Then, she closed her big eyes again, as if she wanted to go back to sleep.
Han Gui lowered his head and bit her delicate earlobe a few times. With a breath of warm air, he spoke into her ear.
"If you don't wake up, I'll 'feed' you some more."
She was immediately startled awake. Even her succubus physique could not keep up with Han Gui. If he did it again, Xinyue would feel like she was going to die of exhaustion.
"You're such a bully. Fine, I'll get up."
When Xinyue's jade-like figure disappeared under her clothes as she got up and got dressed, Han Gui still could not calm himself down. She was just too tempting.
After she was fully dressed, Xinyue leaned close to Han Gui to ask,
"Brother Han Gui, is there anything important?"
Han Gui bought two triangle military heads from Infinite Store and passed them to Xinyue along with the level 3 defensive equipment.
"We're going to kill monsters outside the city. There are crystal cores in the heads of those monsters which can increase our attributes. Do you understand?"
Her eyes lit up. Xinyue was not stupid. She naturally understood what Han Gui meant. She knew how difficult it was to increase attributes. 100 points would only give her a 0.1 point increase. She had suffered enough from being poor.
Although her attributes were not bad, Han Gui did not want to be careless. People in Infinite Space were unpredictable. The monsters may be powerful, but they also needed to watch their backs.
Fortunately, the helmet and armor could effectively deal with sneak attacks.
Han Gui put away the triangular military knife and left the residence with Xinyue who had the other two knives. The neatly dressed couple quickly approached the outskirts of the city.
After leaving the city, darkness quickly enveloped their surroundings. It felt a little heavy on the body, but it did not affect them much. The monsters were constantly appearing like a siege. Some players had formed teams to kill the monsters,
Han Gui pulled Xinyue along and ran to a remote area.
He wanted to test the strength of these monsters first, then see how lucky they were. After that, he would try to go deeper into the darkness.
With Han Gui's current average strength of more than 6 points, killing these monsters with only more than 1 point in attribute was simply too easy. He could kill them with a single kick. Xinyue was also able to use the powerful Eye of Enchantment. Eventually, the monsters lost their minds and started to kill each other.
Soon, the entire area was cleared out.
They all had their heads cut open with a triangular military knife. But disappointingly, Han Gui did not find a single crystal core. How many did they have to kill to find one? More than a hundred? The drop rate was so low that it made one's hair stand on end!
Crystal cores that could increase 0.1 attribute points were simply too rare. But there was no other way. Han Gui did not want to waste any more time. He called Xinyue over and headed deeper into the darkness.
In the other direction, Aria was already half-kneeling on the ground. She had been exhausted for more than an hour. There were dead bodies everywhere. After counting carefully, there were almost two hundred of them.
Although she was exhausted, Aria was still very excited. She opened her palm and a red crystal core emitted a faint light in her hand.
After going through the hardships of killing 195 monsters, she had finally obtained her first crystal core that would increase her attributes.
However...
"Hey, Beautiful, do you want to form a team? If you do, how about you hand over that crystal core as a token of submission?"
..
With Xinyue in tow, Han Gui headed deeper into the abyss. Han Gui remembered that Shangguan Qian had said that the stronger the monster, the higher the drop rate. Moreover, Han Gui realized that these monsters seemed to be divided into different regions.
Monsters with 1-3 attribute points were restricted to one region, while monsters with 4-6 attribute points were contained in others. And these were monsters that came up from the ground.
Before going too deep, Han Gui stopped in the central region. Any further and things might get too dangerous. If he was surrounded by monsters and was unable to transform, he would be in deep trouble.
The region he was in should be just right - not too difficult and not too easy.
He kicked away a zombie and climbed on top of it. The triangular military knife in his hand pierced through the zombie's head at an angle.
He frowned. The zombie's head in this area seemed to have become much harder this time. He needed to use additional strength to pierce through its head.
Suddenly, he heard a slight whistle in the wind. Just as he turned around to look, another triangular military knife flew past him and sliced the head open.
The zombie's skull was shattered and its fiery soul dissipated.
He turned to look at Xinyue. Although he had been mentally prepared, it was still a little surprising to see a group of monsters having their heads stabbed by Xinyue. Han Gui felt that perhaps choosing the succubus bloodline for her had been a mistake.
He shook his head and put this dangerous thought aside. His demon king bloodline was still the most powerful.
Speaking of the demon king bloodline...
Han Gui focused on the approaching monsters and ran up to them.
He managed to lure them into chasing after him as they roared, releasing a large cloud of fishy breath.
The group of monsters caused quite a commotion. Han Gui kept turning his head around to look. After he felt that it was about time, he activated the demon king's power in his body, and a black magic ball gradually condensed in his hand.
The ball contained violent dark energy that set off a faint ripple in the air. In an instant, the magnificent power of the ball spread out. Even the monsters that had been fervently chasing after Han Gui stopped in their tracks for a while.
He raised his hand and threw the Dark Demon Ball at them with a deathly silent magical power before it exploded with a terrifying shockwave.
The ground shook as dust, soil, and rocks flew everywhere. Smoke from the explosion rose several feet in the air as the shockwave spread out like an ever-expanding ring.
Xinyue had been so shocked by the explosion that she almost allowed herself to be overcome by the monsters.
She put her hand to her chest and said to Han Gui, "This... is too powerful."
At the place where the Dark Demon Ball had exploded, a three-meter-wide crater was all that's left. The Earth and rocks had cracked as dozens of corpses fell to the ground in tatters.
Han Gui was also shocked by his power. It was comparable to the power of several high-grade explosive grenades.
He didn't expect such a seemingly casual attack to be so terrifying. Using one-third of his magic power had already produced such terrifying results.
Han Gui walked over to the corpses with the triangular military knife in hand and began to check their heads one by one to see if there were any crystal cores.
In the end, Han Gui was left disappointed. But soon after, Xinyue's excited voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Woah, Brother Han Gui! I found one! I found one!"
