Chapter 388 [The Bloodthirsty Butcher] & Coastal Carnage

After leaving the alchemy shop, Yu Xunge went to the auction house.

Just then, Zhao Shuying suddenly sent her a message.

[Zhao Shuying]: The alien army from the sea has landed on the coast. Are they coming to upgrade?

She looked at a skill in the auction house.

【Bloody Butcher】(Passive) (S-Rank): Each kill will automatically extract a small amount of the opponent's power source, which can be extracted at any time to restore health, or it can be condensed into an energy crystal, which can be consumed to recharge the blood source for life level evolution, but the effect is negligible.

An S-rank skill, yet it only costs 20,000 gold.

It seems the effect was indeed minimal, but Yu Xunge still bought it, spending all the gold coins he had and selling a batch of [King of Little Fish Kingdom] to raise enough money.

[Yu Xun Ge]: I will come

Having received the skill book, I learned it immediately, took out the cat head, returned to Blue Star, and headed straight for the coast.

Chaos has broken out here. Everywhere you look, there are alien races and players around level 12, but not many have the ability to fly. The flying owls have already flown into the city, where fighter jets are intercepting them in the air.

Along the coastline, there are solo players in teams, as well as players from various legions. When legions team up, their legion logos appear above their heads, accompanied by a flurry of colorful skills, creating a visual spectacle.

The ground was littered with corpses, including aliens and players. Most players were getting more and more carried away with the killing, but those who made it to the front lines were mostly fearless in the face of battle.

The battle was fierce, and it was hard to say who had the upper hand on the surface. The alien army was generally of a higher level than the players, but in addition to the players, there were various technological weapons on the coastline, warships at sea, and fighter jets flying overhead.

There was almost no place to put your feet along the entire coastline. Yu Xunge flew directly onto the sea surface until he was more than a hundred meters away from the coastline before stopping. Below him were countless health bars, all belonging to alien races.

These alien races, escorted by sea monsters, are able to breathe underwater and are steadily approaching the land.

She ate a high-level dish that could increase her attack power, and then took out the [Ember] to start clearing monsters. She had no intention of hiding her strength, nor did she need to.

Before acquiring the [Midnight Exile], if she had to use the Oak Owl Fruit and various potions as aids when facing Dinghai, now she can fight against the entire Dinghai with just her own skills and attributes.

She hovered in mid-air, her gun pointed at the sea—[Meteor Shower].

A bullet flew from the muzzle, creating a violent tornado. As the bullet approached the sea surface, an invisible wind whipped up the seawater, instantly forming a waterspout. The bullet reached the seabed, where it created a storm, lifting countless alien races who hadn't yet reached the shore high into the air, instantly depleting their health.

Yu Xunge refused all team invitations and ignored all calls for her to be resurrected. Moreover, her methods of killing monsters became increasingly ruthless and cruel, which scared away many players.

Once she had cleared out an area, she flew up the coastline and continued killing.

She stayed far away from the coastline and avoided warships, only firing at areas where alien races were concentrated. Since no Earth players would enter these areas where alien races gathered, there was no possibility that she would accidentally injure Earth players.

She gazed at another coastline in the distance and saw Liang Yuchuan and Zhao Shuying, the two with wings who were also grinding monsters nearby.

However, Liang Yuchuan was a melee fighter. She landed directly on the sea surface and used her skis as surfboards, occasionally rushing to the bottom of the sea to fight a wave before surfacing again.

Zhao Shuying, on the other hand, was a ranged attacker, waving a staff around. It was unclear what kind of ability she had acquired, but every now and then, spoils of war would rush out of the sea and hover in front of her.

Yu Xunge was envious; she also wished she had that ability to automatically pick things up.

After obtaining the [Bloody Butcher], every time Yu Xunge kills an alien race, a blood-red dot of light will appear next to her head. As she kills more and more alien races, the number of dots of light also increases, and from a distance, it looks as if a blood-red sprite is following her.

She can extract energy from the light spots at any time to replenish her health. It's not much; each blood-red light spot can replenish about 0.1% of her health or mana.

When she had killed 1,000 aliens, she reached out and grasped the ball of blood-red light. Her palm opened, and the energy had condensed into a crystal, an irregular blood-red crystal the size of a pistachio.

She summoned Tulan, fed her the crimson crystal, and then looked at her expectantly: "Are you feeling any better?"

Tu Lan met Yu Xunge's gaze and said truthfully, "It's a little bit better. To fully recover, it would probably take about a million crystals like this. Can I help you kill monsters outside?"

Hearing such a huge number, Yu Xunge was not disappointed; as long as it was useful, that was good.

She shook her head and said, "Upgrading before you recover is not good for you."

Both she and Tulan gained some experience points in the world battlefield. Yu Xunge reached level 17 immediately after she appeared, while Tulan's experience bar was longer, but she was also close to leveling up.

Tulan: "I can compress my current experience points to improve my advanced attributes."

Yu Xunge was taken aback: "Is that even possible?"

Tu Lan: "That's right, that's definitely how Black Jade evolved into a dragon, constantly condensing and compressing its power."

Yu Xunge: "Okay, then compress it."

Tu Lan made no move; she simply stared into the void with her eyes open, and her level remained unchanged. After a few seconds, she said "Alright," and then immediately transformed back into her original form, letting Yu Xunge stand on her head.

She carried her best friend as they flew towards the waves. The wind blew past them as she swooped down towards the sea, unleashing her dragon's breath. In the blink of an eye, the seawater boiled, and countless health bars vanished into the seabed.

She let out a triumphant dragon roar, tilted her head slightly to Yu Xunge and said, "I'm waiting for you to help me evolve into the most powerful dragon in the world."

She could feel that after she said those words, Yu Xunge's emotions seemed to clear up as if the clouds had parted and the sun had come out.

"You're really good at comforting people," Yu Xunge said with a smile. "Okay!"

Zhao Shuying still had time to send her messages.

[Zhao Shuying]: Liang Yuchuan has almost finished collecting everything, except for the Candlelight of the Candle Barbarian. I can get it within three days. Do you have time this weekend? Let's go close the dungeon's light curtain.

[Yu Xun Ge]: Have you finalized the specific item for Oak Owl?

[Zhao Shuying]: It's not certain yet. We'll bring the complete corpse over to test it.

[Yu Xun Ge]: If you have time, you can

At that point in time, the damage from the soul impact had already healed.

She was indeed curious about what the reward was for closing the instance's light curtain.

Yu Xunge didn't stay on the coast for long. She farmed for about three hours, accumulating 20 Crimson Crystals for Tu Lan, before returning to her own dungeon to ignite her own Light Feather.

It's not that she doesn't want to grind more, but she can't pick up equipment while grinding monsters here. Although she's not short of money, she's frugal and spends money where she should. It's annoying that she can't pick up the equipment and items she grinds herself.

From that day on, Yu Xunge went to the beach every day to grind monsters for two hours to accumulate blood crystals, and then went home when it was time to leave.
