Chapter 164: Sundial Needle Locked, Hall Crystal!

Under Yue Li's curious questioning, Qin Chuan told her the new power Silver Horn gained after breaking through.

Upon learning that Silver Horn now not only has increased damage but can also boost allies' output by lowering enemies' defenses, even she couldn't help but brighten.

One can imagine how strong their combined strength would be if the six spirit beasts cooperated.

"You say…if the six of them combined, could they handle the zone spirit beast without being stalled by time?" Yue Li spoke with expectation in her eyes, "Before, four weren't enough, but now Xiao Zi and Silver Horn have both broken through to Elite Tier, and each of their strengths is not weak."

Qin Chuan glanced at the six spirit beasts beside him, eager to try, and showed a thoughtful expression.

From Elite Tier to Hall Tier, because there is no evolution process, it's just a normal advancement, so the improvement lies only in strength, without the qualitative change that exists from Growth Tier to Elite Tier.

This is the basis for Elite Tier having hope to overcome Hall Tier by surpassing levels.

Hall Tier's strength is several times that of Elite Tier, meaning the enemy's attack is very powerful; if our and Yue Li's contract spirit beast is hit, it could be directly severely wounded.

Besides that, it's the enemy's defense.

After all stacked effects are added, Xue Gao's single strike is currently the highest attack in the team, yet it can only inflict light injury, let alone killing, not even severe wound.

"So from now on, we shouldn't use the Third Day Blessing like this." Qin Chuan somewhat wanted to laugh.

He quietly waited beside Yue Li, seeing her brows slightly furrowed, showing a thoughtful expression, and continuously tapping in the air.

"We will reach Area 3145 tomorrow." Qin Chuan smiled, "That place is our next target, the area where the Hall Tier Level 36 Water Mirror Coiled Dragon resides."

Water Mirror Coiled Dragon is the zone spirit beast it needs to defeat to advance.

Being able to save Time Stop time, Qin Chuan naturally is willing.

"Finally, I can move freely." Feeling the return of luck, the girl stretched, revealing her lovely figure, showing a pitiful expression, "Just now I didn't dare to breathe, afraid that inhaling would choke me."

Now that Silver Horn has its new ability, the latter is expected to make up for it; from this angle, they indeed have hope to defeat the enemy.

The previously planned route for defeating zone spirit beasts required only four spirit beasts.

This will be the first Advanced Resource it collects!

"Good." Yue Li chuckled, "Report the area numbers of the four zone spirit beasts Silver Horn needs to defeat for its advancement; I'll add Xiao Zi's as well and re-plan the route."

After Qin Chuan reported the area numbers, he glanced at the time.

Now there are two more spirit beasts needing advancement, so the route naturally needs to be re-planned.

"Let's talk about it later." Yue Li's face showed "dare to do it again next time," obviously she will definitely use it again when needed.

"We have it now."

As Yue Li drew a completely new route map, the duration of the Third Day Blessing finally passed.

My legs are numb!

She stared at Qin Chuan's back, unable to resist grinding her teeth.

There are still twenty minutes until the Third Day Blessing expires.

"Hmm!" Yue Li nodded, but as soon as she took a step, she put on the Pain Mask.

"Woof!"

Shui Hua instantly became excited.

Knowing he couldn't win against Yue Li, Qin Chuan helplessly pulled up Yue Li, who had been sitting on the ground too long and her legs were numb, "Come on, let's go treasure hunting."

This guy, doing it on purpose—

Next day, Area 3145.

"Oh—"

Accompanied by a mournful dragon roar, a water-blue scaled dragon whose body was smooth as a mirror, covered in scars, heavily fell into the lake water as smooth as a mirror, raising huge waves that could not subside for a long time.

【Challenge Success】

【Congratulations, player defeated Hall Tier Level 36 Water Mirror Coiled Dragon】

Seeing a bundle of water-blue-wrapped Advanced Resource flying toward the two of them, Qin Chuan and Yue Li exchanged smiles; the six spirit beasts' breaths were weak, yet they all let out victorious cheers at once.

After Xiao Zi and Silver Horn's strength grew, they finally had the ability to defeat Hall Tier spirit beasts without relying on other powers!

"If that's the case, then the subsequent battles are up to you." Qin Chuan softly said, "The cooperation among you six still lacks tacit understanding, for example, just now during the attack, Xue Gao and Xiao Zi almost collided, and…"

He listed several cooperation problems among the companions one after another; the spirit beasts pointed out each collected their smiles, showing serious listening expressions.

"But overall, your performance today was great." Qin Chuan's concluding words made the six little ones delighted again.

Yue Li, watching from the side with a curved smile, quietly observed Qin Chuan and the six spirit beasts communicating; after their exchange ended, she smiled and said, "I didn't realize you're good at encouraging spirit beasts."

"Really?" Qin Chuan scratched his head, "I feel like I'm comforting a child."

"Comforting a child?" Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Yue Li didn't know what she thought of, her smile suddenly intensified, then quickly retracted; a blush flew across her face as she earnestly said, "So far, we have defeated five zone spirit beasts."

"Among them, two are Xiao Qing's, and Xiao Hong, Shui Hua, and Xue Gao each have one."

"According to the route plan, the next zone spirit beast is still Shui Hua's."

"Tomorrow's weekly settlement, the day after tomorrow will be when your talent refreshes again."

"Coincidentally, according to the plan, we will arrive at the area of the next zone spirit beast the day after tomorrow."

"Good." Qin Chuan nodded.

Shui Hua's luck is not bad; among the four zone spirit beasts it needs to defeat, two are close together, but the other two are far apart.

In the route planned by Qin Chuan and Yue Li, some zone spirit beasts are too far to need defeating; at that time, using Selected Advanced Resource to fill gaps will suffice.

Tomorrow's weekly settlement will yield 26 Advanced Resource Fragments, plus the 8 remaining from before, totaling 34, which can also be exchanged for one Selected Advanced Resource.

Two Selected Advanced Resources plus the resources gained from defeating two zone spirit beasts, and finally adding the Hall Crystal from the next Sundial Needle lock, Shui Hua will become the first among the six spirit beasts to advance to Hall Tier.

After Shui Hua comes Xiao Qing.

However, before that, we still need to verify whether Prayer Fate can let Yue Li obtain the refreshed Hall Crystal.

If not, they will still have to think of another way.

No time to waste; the two who just defeated the fifth zone spirit beast set off again.

In a blink, it became two days later.

Just went online, Yue Li turned her tense and eager gaze toward Qin Chuan, "Quick quick quick!"

"I've started." Qin Chuan smiled and nodded.

Gnomon's Third Heaven Endowment, activate!

Target, Hall Crystal!

As his thought moved, the map of the entire Dream World appeared before his eyes.

At a location roughly twelve zones away in a straight line from his current position, there is a bright dot.

That is the current location of the Hall Crystal.

However, when Qin Chuan clicked that dot, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

Hall Crystal...

It actually looks like this?!
