Chapter 63: Impact on Rankings, Earth Power Unleashed!
The other eliminated players also turned their attention to the three screens, and began to discuss them.
"I know Yu Feifei and Gu Feng, but where did these three come from?"
"I don't know, but they are really strong. They have summoned five three-star elite units in total. No wonder they were able to hold out until the ninth wave."
"Yes, to have trained so many three-star elites during the novice stage, they must be extraordinary."
"Qin Lang, Shen Xing, Xu Jiayi — go check the information on these three people and see if we can recruit them into our Neptune Group."
'
Some players have begun gathering information about the three individuals, while others have already contacted the forces behind them, attempting to win them over.
Clearly, after this incident, the names of Shen Xing and his two companions have officially entered the sights of Jiangcheng players.
And in the misty void.
The eight players who made it through the ninth wave were unaware of the outside discussion and instead took the time to rest and recover their energy.
Everyone pulled out their most treasured possessions, clearly wanting to continue the challenge of the next wave.
Although the ninth wave is extremely difficult, there have been quite a few first-tier lords who have passed it over the years.
Those who can pass the tenth wave of first-tier lords are truly extremely rare.
The remaining few are the elite of the elite, and they are confident enough in their abilities.
If others can pass, why can't I?
I am the future emperor, and I will never be inferior to anyone in my life.
Come on, let me see just how powerful the legendary tenth wave is!
At the same time, a slight tremor came from the mist.
Immediately afterwards, a rapid sound of galloping hooves came from all directions.
Under their watchful eyes, a group of tall figures emerged and slowly stepped into the area of the firelight.
They were clad in heavy black armor, wielded long black spears, and exuded a black mist.
Even the warhorse beneath his feet was clad in full black armor, leaving only its eerie green eyes visible.
The leading knight captain wielded a jet-black greatsword, with a black moon phantom appearing behind him.
Upon seeing these monsters, the other five challengers simultaneously widened their eyes.
"Holy crap, it's the Black Moon Knights!"
Meanwhile, the outside world was in an uproar.
"It's the Black Moon Knights! How come they're the tenth wave of monsters?"
"Oh no, oh no! These monsters work together seamlessly and have a strange ability. Once you get caught up in their charge, you won't even have a chance to escape."
"These players are in danger!"
In the game, there are some monsters that are generally considered powerful and should not be provoked.
If you encounter these monsters, and they grow to a large number, you'd better pray you have four legs, otherwise you're doomed.
Among them are the three major knightly orders: Black Moon, Silver Moon, and Blood Moon.
Many players have been severely taught a lesson by these monsters in the game.
The Black Moon Knights before us are at least level 7, and all of them have the potential to become elite one-star warriors.
The leading knight captain was even an elite three-star warrior.
With this configuration, the Black Moon Knights are even more terrifying than boss-level monsters!
A single charge would obliterate even the elite-level defensive units.
A misty, empty realm.
Upon seeing the monster, the two players immediately crushed the crystal and chose to run away.
Whoever wants to be the future emperor can be, I'm running away!
Now, only six players remain.
Besides Shen Xing and his two companions, there were the three most famous contestants: Jaguar Yu Feifei, Lord Second Generation Gu Feng, and Fighting Champion Xiang Dong.
"Shen Xing, these black cans don't look like they'll be easy to deal with."
Qin Lang rose from the ground and said with a serious expression.
Shen Xing also raised an eyebrow and silently protected the black arrow in front of him.
The Black Moon Knights they encountered consisted of forty or more people.
Each person held a long, black spear, wore black armor, and had a crescent moon emblem on their chest.
He could sense that although these knights were only elite-level, the oppressive feeling they brought was even stronger than when facing a hundred-strong Dark Naga legion.
What's even stranger is that Shen Xing can't sense the aura of any individual knight; it's as if they are a single entity.
Is it the effect of the bond?
Or is it some other ability?
These tin cans didn't give him much of a chance to think.
The leading knight captain raised his black greatsword, pointed it forward, and his warhorse instantly carried him forward like lightning.
More than forty knights charged forward in unison from behind.
"Boom—boom boom—"
The heavy clatter of hooves was like the thunder of the earth, and the oppressive feeling coming your way was like a 100-ton truck loaded with cargo rushing towards you at 100 kilometers per hour.
"Zhou Zheng, are you confident with these three kids?"
In the parking lot of Mingyue Bay Park, a group of people stared at the display screen with solemn expressions.
The old man, known as Elder Wang, stood with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, "They didn't crush the crystal because they wanted to challenge the Black Moon Knights."
:
"
"Old Wang, I don't know either—"
Zhou Zheng smiled wryly and said helplessly, "These three guys have been in the game for less than half a month, and they probably don't even know what the Black Moon Knights are."
"Half a month—what?!"
Everyone was startled, as if they had heard something absurd.
Even the players around were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.
In less than half a month since entering the game, I have already trained so many elite three-star units?
"Zhou Zheng, you're not joking?" Jiang Rong asked again.
"Senior Jiang, how could I possibly joke about that?" Zhou Zheng replied helplessly.
Upon confirmation, everyone's expressions changed once again.
If what Zhou Zheng said is true, then the potential of these three little guys may be even greater than they imagined.
"Quickly find a way to contact them and get out of here as soon as possible."
Jiang Rong's voice held an unusual hint of urgency: "They don't know how powerful the Black Moon Knights are. Once they're dragged into battle, they won't even have a chance to escape!"
The others were also anxious, but the Misty Sky Realm was completely isolated from reality.
It's practically impossible to get in touch with the people inside.
Old Wang frowned, his hands, which had been behind his back, loosened slightly and then clenched again, as if he were contemplating some kind of decision.
Just then, someone noticed the change on the screen and was immediately startled.
"Wait a minute, these three little guys seem to have summoned a new type of unit again."
"Hmm? A new unit, they still have a trump card!?"
Everyone turned to look, and immediately witnessed an astonishing scene.
"Come out!"
"Blood Howl!"
Bayonetta!
:
"The Master of Shadows!"
In the misty void, the three voices echoed around the campfire.
As the thick fog billowed, three powerful figures emerged.
Riding an elite three-star wolf, carrying a long-handled axe at an angle, Bloodhowl, exuding a fierce aura, stepped forward first.
The Angelic witch, carrying a mahogany longbow and with a tall, slender figure and sharp, hawk-like eyes, followed closely behind.
There is also the Shadow Master, who is short in stature and shrouded in a dark aura, as if he could disappear into thin air at any moment!
Four elite three-star units made their appearance, their imposing presence causing the campfire to sway and even dispelling the oppressive feeling that was about to hit them.
Just kidding, they didn't even know what the Black Moon Knights were.
But just from the aura these guys exude, you can tell they're not to be trifled with.
Underestimating your enemy in the fog, you'll die without even knowing how.
Therefore, apart from Shen Xing, they all summoned their strongest trump cards.
"hiss!!"
With a piercing neigh, the black warhorse at the front reared up and suddenly increased its speed!
The forty-odd Black Moon Knights behind them also launched a simultaneous charge!
"Boom! Boom!"
The ground shook violently, and the thick fog was stirred up.
Even more miraculously, as they charged forward, the outline of a black moon began to appear faintly overhead.
"Gorehowl, go! It's your time to shine."
At Shen Xing's command, Bloodhowl activated its talent skill [Burning Blood] and downed a bottle of [Dwarven Spirits].
With the double boost, both strength and speed increased dramatically.
The three constellation wolves beneath their feet had protruding fangs, and their imposing aura was no less than that of the Black Moon Knights' warhorses.
Then, Bloodhowl, alone with his wolf, charged towards an enemy force many times its size.
The two sides closed the distance rapidly.
Faced with more than a dozen spears thrusting at him, Bloodhowl narrowed his pupils to the size of pinpoints, his arm muscles tensed, and he swung his battle axe horizontally!
"Clang—"
'
A series of metallic clanging sounds rang out, sweeping away all the thrusting spears.
At the same time, the dire wolf beneath him collided with the knight captain's warhorse.
The dire wolf, which has already been upgraded to elite three stars, has significantly superior stats compared to the opponent's warhorse.
It swung its claws horizontally, instantly tearing through the horse's eye and eliciting a scream.
Then raise its head and thrust it forward with all its might!
With a "bang," it knocked the enemy's warhorse over on the spot.
"Haha, my Big Mao is the strongest!"
Bloodhowl laughed loudly, his steps unwavering, as he steered his dire wolf into the enemy ranks.
The Black Moon Knights were all stunned; it was the first time they had ever seen such a reckless young man.
Normally, when those guys see them, they all try to avoid them.
Now, someone has actually broken in on their own initiative.
The Black Moon Knights could not bear such an insult, and immediately raised their weapons, their spears raining down like raindrops.
But Bloodhowl was not afraid at all. He wielded his long-handled axe like a hurricane, deflecting a large number of attacks.
Even when stabbed, there was no reaction whatsoever, as if he felt no pain.
"I am Bloodhowl, the orcs' foremost warrior! Who dares to stop me? Who can stop me!"
He roared as he charged forward recklessly.
They charged in from the front and broke through from the rear, managing to utterly destroy the entire knightly order.
At this moment, Bloodhowl stopped a few steps away from the Knights.
Both he and his dire wolf were covered in bloody holes, but their imposing presence remained undiminished, like a war god returning from a bloodbath!
"Hahaha, that felt so good!"
Bloodhowl raised his battle axe high, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Shen Xing nodded secretly from behind.
He truly deserves to be my second-best general; he is indeed a peerless talent.
A single charge shattered the enemy's strongest offensive on the spot.
Without taking a breath, Bloodhowl continued to control the dire wolf and launched a second charge against the Knights.
This suicidal fighting style would make even the most powerful enemy tremble.
Of course, his teammates wouldn't let Bloodhowl fight alone.
On the other side, Xu Jiayi's Bayonetta had already drawn the bowstring to its fullest extent, and an arrow burning with flames was charged to its limit.
"Go, Fireball Arrow!"
With a soft thud, the flaming arrow pierced the very center of the knights' ranks!
"boom!!!"
Flames shot into the sky, as if bombs were exploding in the crowd, instantly knocking seven or eight Black Moon Knights to the ground.
At the same time, Qin Lang's Shadow Master had appeared beside the Knights at some point and instantly created several clones.
All the clones leaped into the air at the same time, gripping their rapiers in reverse.
—A deadly killing formation!
"Pfft! Pfft pfft pfft!"
A series of metallic cutting sounds rang out, and dazzling cold light crisscrossed in the air.
In an instant, five or six more knights were cut down from their horses.
Taking advantage of the enemy's fall from his horse, Shen Xing immediately controlled the skeleton archers to beat the fallen enemy, aiming at the fallen knight's head and shooting wildly.
A volley of arrows pierced through the gaps between the heavy armor, instantly killing several knights.
Other stone golems and orc legions also surrounded them and began to beat the fallen dog.
Of course, the infamous Black Moon Knights are not so easily subdued.
The Black Moon Knight captain, who had been knocked away by Bloodhowl, stood up again.
He suddenly flipped over and jumped back onto the horse, a green light flashing in his pupils, and dense black energy bursting from the greatsword.
"hiss!!!"
The warhorse reared up high and charged out like an arrow released from a bow.
And above his head, the black crescent moon began to slowly rotate.
Even more incredibly, the knights, who had been routed and whose formation was in disarray, managed to regain their composure in just a few breaths.
Then, as if possessed, they charged after the knight captain.
A long spear thrust out like raindrops, sending swarms of stone men and orcs flying.
"Holy crap, these guys are brutal."
Qin Lang exclaimed in shock as he watched as his two half-human companions were struck by the spear, piercing their hearts.
"We need to find a way to take down that elite three-star knight captain."
Shen Xing's gaze followed the group of knights, and he said in a deep voice, "As long as this guy doesn't die, it will be difficult to defeat this Black Moon Knights."
Upon hearing this, the other two immediately locked onto the leading knight captain.
At this moment, the first wave of the Black Moon Knights' charge ended, resulting in casualties of more than a dozen soldiers.
Before they could catch their breath, all the cavalrymen quickly turned around and the second wave of charge surged forth!
This is the power of the knight unit.
Especially these highly mobile and explosive heavy cavalry were practically meat grinders on the battlefield.
A hundred heavy cavalrymen are even more terrifying than an infantry regiment of several thousand.
What's more, this is the infamous Black Moon Knights.
"Boom—boom boom—"
The heavy sound of horses' hooves echoed in my ears, like the drumbeats of death rapidly approaching.
Shen Xing's gaze sharpened slightly, and he also felt a sense of pressure.
Should we continue to use other trump cards?
Just then, Xu Jiayi suddenly took out a gold scroll, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.
"This is my only treasured card, the one I've kept hidden away—"
She gave the scroll a sharp shake, and a burst of earthy yellow light erupted, landing on the elite stone golem at the front.
A powerful force of earth energy rose up and enveloped the stone man.
Bathed in light, this elite stone golem grew taller as it faced the wind.
It rapidly expanded from its original height of four or five meters to seven or eight meters, and its aura also continued to rise.
"This is—the [Earth Power Scroll], a purple treasure that can temporarily boost earth-type units by one star?"
