I summon the heroic spirits of China in the infinite world.

"It's been several days since I last contacted Bai Ye. I wonder how things are going on his end."

Dawn opened that private channel.

Once inside, I noticed that there were far fewer chat records.

He scrolled up through the history, and the information there made him fall silent for a moment.

There were supposed to be five people in the private channel, but now there are only four left, including myself.

The one who was eliminated was [Little Gem]. Dawn had almost no interaction with this summoner, and her only impression of him was that he welcomed her in the channel at the time.

"Another one has been eliminated..."

He shook his head, then specifically tagged Bai Ye.

A short while later, Bai Ye gave a reply.

The two sides briefly discussed their recent situations.

Bai Ye has also been diligently clearing out the monsters these past few days.

Because he has a ghost wolf mount for traveling, his efficiency is quite comical.

The Summoner level has now reached LV5.

Of course, while this was efficient, it was ultimately not as effective as the two-pronged attack that Dawn had with the help of straw men.

Bai Ye's efficiency in clearing monsters is also quite fast.

Li Ming didn't know exactly how fast it was, only that Bai Ye had already reached LV5.

It's clear that even with mounts, the enemy's efficiency is still not as good as splitting their forces into two groups.

Li Ming then explained the purpose of his visit.

As a result, Bai Ye seemed a little embarrassed, because someone had indeed sold upgrade cards in the private channel, but he had bought them all.

【冶不是治】: Sorry, bro, I've already used up all those upgrade cards.

Judging from Bai Ye's words, his team of heroic spirits must have expanded considerably.

[Rakuten Rakuten]: I have seen people selling upgrade cards or coordinates of upgrade bosses in the public chat.

However, someone, after learning of Dawn's needs, pointed in a direction.

[The treatment is not a cure]: Forget about the public frequency, the prices are inflated, and I've heard that some people even sell fake coordinates to scam money.

Will you come tonight?

Upon hearing the mention of fake coordinates, Dawn could only remain silent.

Because he remembered that "Brother Hu," he had actually met such a guy before.

However, he can understand why upgrade resources are so scarce in the market now.

Many of those who have survived to this point must still hold onto the idea of ​​strengthening themselves to fight against the disaster.

I don't even have enough upgrade cards and upgrade bosses for myself, how could I possibly sell them to others so easily?

Even if someone sells it, it's mostly because they feel hopeless about completing the game and want to earn enough to take it out before getting a refund.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Li Ming still found a few sellers in the public channel.

As a result, they dared to ask for 3000 cubic coins for just one coordinate location.

The upgrade card is even more outrageous, selling for 20000 cubic coins.

This isn't just a matter of inflated prices; it's outright exorbitant demand.

Keep in mind that even outside, a level 1 upgrade card only costs around 3000.

"Even if I had the money, I wouldn't buy it."

Li Ming decisively gave up.

And so, the daytime passed quietly by in the hunt.

Night fell again.

But tonight, the purple dream-eating beast did not appear.

[21 days until the great disaster strikes.]

[Summoners surviving on this map: 55/100.]

As dawn broke, the daytime hunt continued, and another day passed.

Just like at night, there wasn't much to be gained.

All I gained were experience points; I didn't see a single card.

However, through his deliberate arrangement, Lü Bu and Zhuge Liang gained a considerable amount of experience points.

Lu Bu's level has been increased to LV3.

The Heroic Spirit's attributes have been improved.

"it is good."

Li Ming's spirits lifted.

Lu Bu's stats have increased again at LV3. Now, even without various buffs, he can easily take on a LV4 monster in a one-on-one fight.

Zhuge Liang was almost there, but he was close.

As the new night approached, he received another message from Bai Ye while returning to his territory to reorganize.

【冶不是治】：@All members, tonight is the tenth night of the dungeon. According to the pattern of this dungeon, there should be a strong wave of monster attacks.

[LotteLotte]: The number and strength of the monsters tonight are definitely much stronger than before. Everyone should take care of themselves. If you can't handle it, just quit the dungeon. Don't lose your life.

"The Tenth Night..."

Li Ming paused for a moment, then realized something.

My ten-night milestone starts from the second night, which means I have to wait two more nights to unlock that milestone.

Tonight is the tenth night of the dungeon, but for him it's only the ninth night.

"What a pity."

But there's nothing he can do; he can't change the system's judgment rules.

Since tonight is the tenth night, let's focus on dealing with the monster tide.

So he began to set up his defenses.

At the T-junction, one end features Stone Monkey, Lü Bu, and Zhuge Liang, while the other end features Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao.

Huang Zhong remained in the rear, waiting for orders, continuing to maintain his "patience" at its maximum.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were free agents who patrolled along the city walls and were ready to provide support at any intersections that needed reinforcement.

He himself sits in the main cube, using his third-person perspective to oversee the entire situation.

Night fell.

As the first rays of moonlight fell upon the barren land, unusual commotion arose outside the territory.

"They're here."

From a god-like perspective, Dawn immediately realized that the invading monsters were completely different from those of the past.

In the past, there were usually only one or two kinds of monsters in a night, and they would arrive one after another without mixing.

But this time, three types of monsters flooded in at the start, with nearly ten in one wave.

The detection stone immediately read the information about the monsters.

[Wild Wolf]: LV4

[Chain Claws - Passive]: When the Wild Wolf attacks the same target consecutively, the second hit deals 20% more damage.

[Soul Link - Passive]: The Wild Wolf shares health with other Soul Linked targets.

At the forefront of the attack was a giant wolf with grayish-blue fur.

It was larger and more ferocious than Bai Ye's ghost wolf.

[Cave Deer]: LV4, Breaking Momentum

[Great Horn Strike - 30% Destructive Energy]: The cave deer swings its antlers, inflicting a knockback effect.

[Soul Link - Passive]: The Cave Deer shares health with other Soul Link targets.

A small, deer-like creature with short limbs, resembling a chibi version of a deer.

The enormous horns on its head make the proportions appear even more disproportionate, giving the impression that it is about to be overwhelmed at any moment.

[Carrion Goblin]: LV4, Berserk

[Blood Throw - 10% Health]: The scavenging goblin throws a specially crafted bomb with attack power equal to the amount of health it consumes.

[Soul Link - Passive]: The Carrion Goblin shares health with other Soul Link targets.

The goblin creatures, whose skin color closely resembles the soil of the barren land, have a pair of scarlet eyes that are particularly striking at night.

He was carrying a bulging backpack of unknown material on his back, and it was unclear what was inside.

In addition, Dawn also discovered that they all shared a common feature in their appearance.

Those were purple runes appearing on its body, these runes emitting a dim light in the night, flashing rhythmically with the monster's breathing.
