Chapter 215

"For the next stretch, let's just push forward slowly," Xiao Feng suggested.

"I think it's fine!"

Nobody had any objections.

This is equivalent to an opportunity to gain extra contributions; no normal person would refuse it.

The team began to slow down and move forward.

Although said to be slowing down, they were actually still running at full speed; only when encountering monsters would they rush over and finish them off instantly.

"Mm… finish them off instantly."

That is just a few hundred- or thousand-person squads; for Xiao Feng at level 205, it was indeed easy to instantly defeat them.

Nowadays, Xiao Feng fighting mythic bosses of the Holy Realm level 200–250 is as easy for a level 100 player handling level 10 small fry—almost no difficulty; just toss a skill and they die in droves.

【You defeated the Abyssal Elite Soldier, EXP +2320, War Contribution +8, War Points +8.】

【You defeated……】

【You defeated……】

The system messages kept scrolling, and each team member's war contribution kept increasing.

Points, however, increased more slowly, as only the killer could obtain them, making it hard for others to snatch.

However, Mang Mei's mission only required kill contribution and intelligence contribution; accumulating enough was sufficient, without a mandatory requirement to reach the points threshold.

Xiao Feng's points were gradually becoming outrageous, and everyone's contribution points were rising like water lifting a boat; exchanging for mythic gear would basically pose no great difficulty.

What they currently lack is only experience.

Xing Yun Miao can already undergo third evolution; Li Li and Zhang Fan are around level 95, lacking not much experience—killing a few mythic bosses will suffice.

Dun Dun and Mang Mei are currently level 90; once Xiao Feng pushes the Abyssal Stronghold, they too can easily reach third evolution.

The group continued forward, and half an hour later they saw a medium-to-large tent.

"The Abyssal Armory… this place counts as a【Stronghold】; after taking it down, everyone will receive 3000 points and 5000 contribution rewards." Xiao Feng looked at the map information and compared it with the Zhan Chang rules.

Upon hearing that, Li Li immediately raised his staff, and a Courage Blessing fell upon Xiao Feng.

At the same time he shouted loudly: "Come on, Pika-Xiao!"

Xiao Feng: ……

He kicked Li Li over with one foot, then released the Wind Soaring Technique and flew straight toward the stronghold.

【Wind Soaring Technique】: a 4th‑evolution mage common skill; after use, one enters a flying state, flying speed equals normal walking speed, maximum height 30 meters. Duration 30 seconds, cooldown 60 seconds.

This skill counts as one of the mage's signature abilities; it allows flight, ignoring some terrain factors, and has a clear suppressing effect on professions with short reach.

The drawback is also obvious: it flies too slowly, just like walking, and compared to Sword‑Slashing Heaven's Technique, it is inferior by more than one tier.

Xiao Feng's Ten‑Thousand‑Times Amplification talent also works on this skill, with the effect applied to flight altitude.

In other words, he can use this leisurely speed to fly up to 300,000 meters in altitude… if there is enough time.

Normally, within 30 seconds he can fly only three to five hundred meters before the effect ends, then he plummets from the sky and falls to his death!

The Abyssal Armory stronghold ahead sits on a small hill, slightly elevated; Xiao Feng used Wind Soaring Technique to level the horizontal distance, then chanted for four seconds and threw an Earthquake Technique over.

Boom—

The Earthquake Technique caused the ground to shake, even cracking open deep gullies.

At this point his Weather Mage talent had become twenty‑fold in scale; the Earthquake Technique's skill range equaled a square area one kilometer on a side, exactly the same as the initial version of the Divine Punishment skill【Apocalyptic Heavenly Disaster】.

When this skill is unleashed, with his current magic‑attack power boosted by nearly 8000 points from buffs, it deals over a hundred million damage per second, plus more than ten million true damage.

The Abyssal soldiers inside the stronghold didn't even have time to utter a grunt before they all perished, returning to the embrace of the Demon God.

【You defeated the Abyssal Demon Commander Disewen, shared EXP +39133333, War Contribution +41250, War Points +41250.】

【You defeated……】

【You defeated……】

Another round of scrolling messages.

This time it was even more intense than before—not only was a level‑210 demon commander taken down, but also mixed in were large numbers of Legendary commanders and commandant officers, with Epic‑rank centurions too many to count.

After a wave of contribution sharing, all six team members gained tens of thousands of contribution points; experience also surged like a rocket, with the lowest‑level Dun Dun and Mang Mei reaching level 97, while Zhang Fan and Li Li have already broken through the level‑100 barrier!

Awesome! Let's go dig for intel!

A few people, elated, climbed the small hill, sneaked into the stronghold, and went to look for the intelligence dropped by the Abyssal monsters.

Although the drop rate of Zhan Chang intelligence is normally low, but because the number of monsters slain by Xiao Feng this time was no less than eight or nine thousand, so the total amount was still quite considerable,

"I found a red secret intelligence!"

"I found an orange one!"

"There are three purple ones!"

"I picked up intelligence fragments scattered all over the ground……"

The teammates searched around, and shortly everyone returned, bringing a thick stack of intelligence.

Aside from the red‑tier intelligence items, the others can be stacked in multiple copies, taking up very few slots.

"Give them all to Mang Mei; these still seem not enough," Xiao Feng said.

The blind archer maiden's legion mission requires 10000 intelligence contribution points; previously a red one added some, and this batch altogether amounts to about five or six thousand points, but after calculation we still lack over a thousand.

After we push the Abyssal Stronghold later, we'll just take however much we need!" Li Li laughed.

"Hmm. But speaking frankly, if we demolish the stronghold, why would the Xin Huo Castle still need intelligence?" Zhang Fan said, puzzled.

Upon hearing that, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Indeed, if the enemy forces are all wiped out, then gathering intelligence would seem pointless.

Of course, this is from a conventional warfare perspective; after all, the game is a game, and many aspects defy common sense—otherwise it couldn't be played at all.

"Thank you……"

Mang Mei took all the information and spoke softly a sentence.

Xing Yun Miao pinched her hand and smiled, saying, "What thanks? Let's keep moving!"

This archer girl is truly blind in real life, has no friends, often receives disdain, and her life is far from ideal.

In this game, having a few people play with her and give her many good things as friends is something that deeply moves her.

In this short span of less than a day in real time, she has already gained many benefits from the game, sold some game items, and greatly enriched her originally meager income.

Her gratitude toward Xiao Feng and the others is beyond words; furthermore, she is usually taciturn and not good at expressing herself, at most only saying a sentence of thanks.

However, the few team members can all understand her feelings.

Although Xiao Feng's dormitory three brothers are usually carefree, in reality their thoughts are also quite meticulous.

As for Xing Yun Miao and Dun Dun, there's no need to say more—they are naturally girls who know how to care about others' emotions.

A group of kind people gathering together naturally results in complete harmony.

"Speaking of the base... if we demolish the base, will the abyss monsters still respawn? If they don't, wouldn't we be screwing over many people who grind Zhan Chang for contributions?" Xiao Feng suddenly thought of something.
