Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 351 I Am One Against a Thousand! (6th Update)
After a close-quarters battle, the Chaos Spirit's two forelegs were severed by the Power Sword, followed by its neck. Its special ability did not grant it immunity to the Power Sword's attacks, so it was destined to die as well.

"Ow..."

With a low, mournful scream, the first Chaos Spirit finally fell in version 4.0.

A golden treasure chest fell into the storage space. Without hesitation, I opened it.

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Dimensional Expansion Crystal (Expansion Space: 5 cubic meters)!]

……

It's alright. It's already good that there's room for expansion, at least it's not experience or reputation.

"How to say?"

Turning around, I looked at everyone and said, "Do you guys still want to go further? Cai Cai and Fatty were almost killed by the psionic storm just now. I don't recommend you continue forward; it will only be more dangerous there."

"Ding Han, you go solo it."

Zhang Ruolin said, "Version 4.0 has just been released. You should gain experience as soon as possible and level up to 80 as soon as possible. When you return as an eighth-tier player, it will be much easier for you to help us level up."

"Ruolin, what are your plans?" I asked.

"We'll brush it on the outside."

Ruolin said, "In a while, two super warriors in our group will farm together. Cai Cai, Fatty, and Aji will be responsible for the output of the Chaos Biological Material Form, while the super warrior and I will be responsible for the Chaos Spirit. As long as the Chaos Spirit that is generated is not golden, we can fight it."

"Pay attention to the number of monsters spawning."

I reminded them, "We spent a full ten minutes farming just now, attracting too many hellhounds, so the Chaos Spirits spawned in gold. But if there aren't that many, it's uncertain. In short, you guys decide for yourselves. If you really can't beat them, just run. The Dauntless are fast, so running away shouldn't be a problem."

"Okay, don't worry about soloing, level up quickly."

"understood."

He took out his off-road motorcycle, waved goodbye to everyone, and headed straight for the depths of the wilderness.

……

ten minutes later.

A basin area appeared ahead, and familiar figures were moving about within it.

Chaos Beast!
These incredibly monstrous creatures are roaming the wilderness. They look like burly power armor warriors, but inside they are just corpses and powerful psionic energy.

But this version of Chaos Beast has been upgraded and is now a level 70 pink BOSS!

"You damn guy!"

Dozens of meters away, a Chaos Beast suddenly stopped its rapid advance, turned around and looked in my direction. The corpse inside the mech opened its eyes, its gaze filled with arrogance. It sniffed the air frantically and sneered, "Little thing, you actually dare to come to such a forbidden place. Do you want to taste the power of the Chaos Demon Lords?"

"You scoundrel who's just borrowing the tiger's power, what are you pretending for?"

I stood tall and straight, twirling my sword and pointing the tip directly at my opponent.

Not only must you be stronger than your opponent, your posture must also be cooler!
When you're leveling up alone, you should let loose and do whatever makes you happy!
Just then, a bell rang in my ear—

[Congratulations! You have triggered the scenario quest "Chaos Beasts" (S-rank)! Quest details: These evil Chaos Beasts originate from the Warp and have now become its henchmen invading the material world. As one of humanity's elite, you bear the heavy responsibility of eliminating this evil. Please kill 100 Chaos Beasts. Upon completion, you will receive a very generous reward!]

……

Excellent, this is exactly the kind of task I need that's all about grinding.

At this moment, a leaderboard is prominently displayed in the upper right corner of the interface for the SSS-level main quest "Lost Land". Currently, Bai Yuekui is ranked first on the leaderboard. I wonder what method this girl is using to farm monsters so quickly.

As for me, I'm ranked fourth.

It seems I was delayed by farming Hellhounds before. The quest points from low-level monsters are too low, so I avoid farming them if possible. But what I'm facing now is a group of pink bosses. Not only do they give high points, but the pink treasure chests also contain better items. I would be happy even if they all gave me expansion crystals.

"Pong!"

His body transformed into a blur, galloping ahead of the Chaos Beast!
Today, I, Ding Han, am locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Chaos Beast, and we are irreconcilable enemies!
……

Just keep scrolling, no further explanation needed!

"drop!"

Around 11 a.m.

Kou Mei said in the team chat: "Staying in the player black market is so boring. Boss, Sister Ruolin, please don't mute your microphones. Please say something so that we can feel a bit involved."

"Yeah!"

Huo Bingzhi said, "Don't turn off your mics! I want to hear the sounds of everyone fighting monsters. Damn the Warp... it's made us imprisoned here. Kill a few more for us!"

"Cough cough..."

I said, "Are you sure you don't want to turn off your microphones?"

"Sure!"

Faye Chaochen said, "We need to hear the sounds of you fighting monsters and chatting, otherwise we're getting bored to death."

"alright."

I nodded: "Then I won't turn off my mic."

Ruolin, Caicai, and the others also stopped muting their microphones, and the chat group became lively.

"Boss, boss..."

Kou Mei said, "The monsters over there are making really loud noises, what are you attacking?"

"Chaos Beast, Pink BOSS".

I laughed and said, "I'm lucky, I triggered an S-rank Chaos Beast quest."

"..."

Ruolin said, "It's not that you're lucky. I heard that all the players who entered the inner circle seem to have triggered this quest."

"Nima..."

S-rank missions suddenly seem less appealing.

If others have it, I must have it too.

How can others have everything I have? System, why can't you be biased?
……

The basin in the Lost Lands is home not only to Chaos Beasts, but also to Hellhounds, Chaos Hyenas, and other creatures, so there's no choice but to take them all out at once, a rather tedious process.

But there's no other way; in order to level up and gain experience, I can only work diligently.

It was around 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

A quick glance at the quest log showed that the number of Chaos Beast kills was 67 out of 100, which was actually a pretty good progress, considered quite fast.

Just then, as I felled a Chaos Beast to the ground, I saw several figures appear on the opposite hillside.

Lunar soil!

He was clad in armor, carrying a starlight-like aura, and stared at me with the same icy gaze.

Behind Moonsoil were several players from the Holy Grail Rangers guild.

"Chasing Shadows..."

Within the star map, Lunar Soil spoke first: "Today, our common enemy is the warp, so I have no intention of fighting you. How about we put aside our personal grudges for now?"

I didn't say anything, I just checked the number of people on the other side.

They are all level 60 players who have completed six job advancements, and their equipment is quite good. There may be more people coming later.

If I were to take on all of them one-on-one... perhaps I could try, but the cost would definitely be high...

There are only 8 copies of the Resurrection Codex in the storage space, and the space here is spacious, unlike the terrain of Shadow City. It would be difficult to kill Moon Soil with only 8 copies of the Resurrection Codex, and you could easily be kited by the opponent if you are not careful...

Forget it, let them go this time!
"Row."

After responding to Yuerang's comment, he immediately changed coordinates and continued killing Chaos Beasts to avoid being overwhelmed by the enemy's concentrated forces.

……

"Ding Han".

Shortly after, Ruolin's voice came through the team channel: "You ran into Moon Soil's group? Someone on the dark web said that Moon Soil took a screenshot of you soloing the Chaos Beast in the Lost Lands."

"Ah."

I nodded: "We actually bumped into each other, but I didn't make a move. I wasn't entirely confident, and the Chaos faction has just arrived, so it's really not the right time to start a civil war between players."

"I'm glad you're alright. Please be careful in everything you do."

"Don't worry, I'm a stoic."

"~~~"

In a blink of an eye, night falls.

"drop!"

A message came from Lin Qingying: "Ding Han, are you going home tonight?"

"uncertain."

I took a picture of the desolate landscape with a blood-red sunset hanging in the sky and sent it to her. The picture showed a scene of apocalypse. I replied, "I am with many players and we are investigating the truth about the warp landing on our home planet. Don't worry, eat more for dinner, and be careful while I'm away from home."

"Yes, you too. I'll wait for you to come home."

She also sent me a picture of the sunset taken from the top floor of the Yuening Group building.

It's definitely much better looking than mine. Her posts are full of life, while mine are full of murderous intent.

Keep farming Chaos Beasts.

After cutting off the other two ends, she checked her phone again and found that Lin Qingying had posted her picture on her WeChat Moments.

The accompanying text reads: Peace and prosperity.

I know she was worried about my safety, but there was nothing she could do.

So I also posted the picture I had posted to my WeChat Moments.

The accompanying caption is: One against a thousand!
The art style is completely different, and the copywriting style is also completely different. Her copywriting is gentle and graceful, while mine is wild and unrestrained.

"drop!"

A message came from Cheng Shuang, who chuckled and said, "You and President Lin are really funny. Your posts on WeChat Moments really made me laugh..."

"Shuang, how are you? Are you alright?"

"No."

Cheng Shuang asked, "Ding Han, where are you right now? Are you doing something related to the subspace storm?"

"Ah."

I replied, "I'm right below the warp rift right now, but don't worry, I'm invincible!"

She chuckled again: "Alright, I know you're invincible, but you still need to be careful, you need to... you need to..."

She seemed to suddenly run out of words, and after a long pause, she finally said, "May you have peace and good fortune..."

For some reason, her voice became choked with emotion.

At that moment, Lu Xiaobei liked my post on WeChat Moments and left a comment with four words: "Peace and good fortune."

No, my resolve is wavering!

I tossed my phone into my storage space, grabbed my power sword, and focused on grinding monsters!
How can I be distracted by a woman while grinding monsters?!
……

After a while, the 100th Chaos Beast uttered a curse, "F*** you, I'll be waiting for you in the warp," before its head was chopped off, completing the kill!

Suddenly, a bell rang in my ear: Mission accomplished!

[Congratulations! You have completed the scenario quest "Chaos Beast" (S-rank)! Rewards: Character Experience +2440 million, Charisma +1, and additional reward: "Lost Temple" (hidden map unlock item)!]

……

Looking at the golden map, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Hidden maps are great! No one's competing for them, and there are plenty of resources!
