To be honest, it was very difficult to obtain [Strength Extraction Value] in the previous battles.
First of all, [Furnace Bomb] must be excluded, because it belongs to the kill record of the Predator Blood Wolf Gugat, and Zong Shen, as a lord, can only gain experience points.
The second is the damage caused by [Initiation Arcane Crystal Shard], which is considered a kill by Zong Shen, but the explosion range of the crystal shard has a radius of up to thirty kilometers, and Zong Shen hid far away before each detonation.
Exceeding the one kilometer limit of [Power Extraction Value].
This resulted in him not getting much extraction value at all.
You can only get some "leftovers" during the battle, which are considered additional subsidies.
Before this, he had also considered using [Paladin's Invincibility Potion (Special)], but this plan was quickly rejected.
[Melting Furnace Bomb] no matter whether he is within the range or not, no extraction value can be obtained, and the annihilating purple light formed by the elemental storm after the [Inception Arcane Crystal Shard] explodes will last for several minutes.
His invincibility potion can only be effective for 45 seconds. During this period, the purple light will continue to be annihilated, so he cannot move in space. In addition, the effective extraction range of one kilometer cannot absorb the power extraction value of the entire Demon Blood Clan camp.
, after comprehensive consideration, the risks outweighed the benefits, so Zong Shen directly rejected the plan.
If something went wrong and he couldn't escape the annihilating purple light within 45 seconds, it would be over.
Even if someone from his sect is a brave man, he cannot withstand hundreds of thousands of annihilation damage, let alone survive within the explosion range.
Under such circumstances, his [Power Extraction Value] harvest was not as much as expected, otherwise it would be calculated based on the number of kills in the hundreds of thousands.
He can get at least tens of thousands of points of strength attribute, which is a terrifyingly exaggerated value when you think about it.
The effect of [Power Extraction] comes from the [Ring of Power Demon (Red)] worn on his hand, which is a highly growth-promoting gain skill.
But the restrictions are also very clear.
First of all, it must be a kill completed by Zong Shen, and secondly, the kill target must not be more than one kilometer away from Zong Shen, otherwise the extraction value will not be obtained.
These two limitations have greatly affected Zong Shen's efficiency in obtaining extraction value, and there is nothing that can be done about this.
In particular, the attack methods he chose in this defensive challenge all resulted in large-scale, high-indiscriminate damage, which made it impossible for him to obtain extraction value.
In addition, the target of [Power Extraction] can only reach level five at most.
Killing an enemy from level one to level five will give him 1/5/25/125/600 points of strength extraction value respectively. Obviously, this thing also has an extraction upper limit. Fortunately, there is no upper limit for the stacking gain of the strength attribute. As long as it takes time,
, through the accumulation of hard work, and relying on the [Power Extraction] skill, Zong Shen is bound to be able to harvest a lot of power attributes.
He also got 12 points of strength attribute in bits and pieces just now.
In other words, it is an extraction value of 18,000 points, which comes from those scattered kills, such as the kills he made while riding Xiao Heizi to explore the Red Bone Clan camp, and riding Cha Cha when he attacked the Blackwater Army camp.
He didn't pay much attention to the specifics.
After all, a mere 12 points of strength extraction gain is nothing compared to the huge total number of kills and experience points.
At the moment, his strength attribute reached 303 points.
The health value has also changed to [2187 5000 (Kard Medical Gem)].
After checking the strength attributes, Zong Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
In a short time, he will have nothing to do.
There are less than 3,000 dark orc warriors left, so he lets them wander outside for a while. Anyway, he still has a lot of time to clear them out.
Thinking of this, he put his arm around Luna and slowly closed his eyes.
…
Zong Shen didn't know after the reopening.
The timeline of the defensive challenge field he is in has undergone irreversible changes, and this change has created a certain time gap between him and other lords.
In other words, the timelines of other lords will still be completed according to the trajectory before the restart, but he will have to wait a few more hours.
The settlement of this defensive challenge is rather special. Originally, when the countdowns in all challenge areas were unified, they will be moved out of the challenge space after the countdown reaches zero.
But now, due to the reopening of Zongshen, everyone has to wait for another six or seven hours.
After their countdown reaches zero, the lord system will cleverly use time stagnation to freeze the flow of thought of all lords, and wait until Zong Shen's challenge here is completed before unified processing, allowing everyone to return to the Endless Continent.
The impact caused by this is actually not serious.
Only when there were still fourteen hours left in Zong Shen's challenge.
The countdown for other lords has only more than six hours left, and it can be said that they have reached the end of the defensive challenge.
During this period, almost all the lords were engaged in bitter fighting.
Opponents selected through comprehensive ratings are often evenly matched, and each lord needs to exert all his strength to win.
Many lords' territories have been breached, and not only were they judged dead, but all the territory's citizens were frozen back to their original state, turned into recruitment rolls again, and finally circulated to other lords through various methods.
Most of the lords still held on. Judging from the current casualty rate, almost 25% of the lords failed.
Combined with the proportion of deaths in the first month of arrival, the first batch of lords can only remain about 45% of what they were when they first arrived.
In the next five months, at least before the arrival of the second batch of lords, the first batch of lords should be able to live a slightly more stable life.
Of course, even without the various challenges arranged by the lord system, they still have to face combat risks from indigenous people and daily exploration.
But after all, life is easier than in the past month.
The arrival of a lord is like a big wave crashing into the sand. A lord who can survive until the end of the defense challenge has proven that he has the ability to continue to survive in the endless continent.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In that unfathomable dark space, the colorful bubbles representing the lord's exclusive challenge area will dim from time to time, indicating that the lord in it has fallen and withered.
The bubble here that represents Zong Shen's exclusive defensive challenge area is extremely huge. It has been upgraded to a dimensional world-level strength by the Lord System, so the volume of the bubble has also expanded.
The surrounding small bubbles are as different from it as meteorites and stars.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zong Shen's exclusive field of defensive challenges already has the foundation to evolve into a dimensional world.
So after Zong Shen completed the challenge, this field also turned into a [Dimension Seed (Special)], which became his additional reward.
Colorful bubbles shine in the void.
If the cube in the distant and unknown place represents all the things on the consciousness side and rule side of the lord, then these bubbles are the image that the real material realm represents in the void.
From a high-dimensional perspective, the division of matter and consciousness is not contradictory.
And it is the mysterious lord system that controls all these changes.
No one can tell whether it is the incarnation of consciousness or material body.
Everyone, including Zong Shen, would be just a small part of the body that could not be seen in the vast dark space.
…
When Zong Shen was taking a nap with Luna in his arms.
In one of the colorful bubbles, Cesare Piero, the proud man with the second highest overall rating, stood panting on the ruins of the city wall.
The defense line in front of us has long become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The enemy he drew was a blood dwarf from a distant wild dimension.
There are as many as 200,000 in number. Fortunately, most of the blood dwarves who come are second-level, third-level, and fourth-level existences. The most powerful ones are only the epic-level high-level blood dwarf commanders and the epic-level mid-level blood dwarves.
Dwarven Shining Seer.
Moreover, these blood dwarves, just like the dark orcs drawn by Zong Shen, also have their own weaknesses or exploitable flaws.
All blood dwarves have bloodline defects. They don't like drinking like the Three Castle dwarves of Endless Continent. Instead, they hate alcohol.
As long as it touches a star, a part of its combat power will be reduced.
After Caesar Piero discovered this, he almost exhausted all the wine in his inventory. By holding on and then weakening the combat effectiveness of the blood dwarves, he constantly had to kill these attackers armed with warhammers.
So far, he has finally killed more than 70% of the blood dwarves, but most of his territory defense has been destroyed. The most terrible thing is that there is not much wine left on hand.
When the next wave of blood dwarf offensive begins, he will have no choice but to shrink his defenses, stick to the lord's courtyard, and try his best to protect the central stone pillar.
He also has some hidden skills and props that he hasn't used yet.
If you try your best, you should be able to win.
But at this moment, Cesare Piero was still full of uneasiness about the future.
The pain and exhaustion caused by the continuous killing seriously affected his condition.
He couldn't imagine what kind of enemies Zong Shen, who ranked first in overall rating, would face. These blood dwarves already made it impossible for him to slack off in the slightest.
Caesar Piero took advantage of the brief gap when the blood dwarves were repelled and retreated to the rear. His internal affairs heroes immediately led the farmers to repair the damaged city walls and defensive arrow towers.
The archers replenished their arrows, and the melee soldiers drank water and ate dry food.
He raised his head and glanced at the countdown displayed as [06:39:45] in the sky, and his originally relaxed nerves became tense again!
In fact, the difference between his rating and Zong Shen's is only half, but this is because some of Zong Shen's rating options have reached the upper limit of the current judgment.
The gap between Cesare Piero and Zong Shen is much larger than the numerical rating.
The highest level he faced did not exceed level five, and his strongest strength did not break through to the epic level. The total number of blood dwarves was only 200,000, which was incomparable to the dark orcs Zong Shen faced.
You must know that the dark orcs have a total of one million super-strong troops, with the highest level being level six.
The strength of the four dark orc commanders is at the lowest level and is at the mid-level legendary level. Among them, the strength level of the leader of the Demon Blood Clan, Black Bug Demon Blood, has reached the high-level legendary level. Not to mention all of them coming, even if one of them is randomly selected,
You can hammer Cesare Piero into pigskin in the dark orc camp.
This is a gap he could never imagine!
…
Another challenge in an exclusive area.
Chen Rui was covered in blood, and the silver armor on his body turned dark red, with some green and yellow mucus and things similar to organ fragments stained on it.
There are many dents and penetrating damage to the plate armor.
The defense line of his territory is generally intact, and the damage is not too serious.
The open space outside the defense line was full of corpses.
Most of them were left by the enemy, and a few were soldiers in his territory.
Those corpses had sharp legs and thick green carapace.
Puddles of slime flooded the ground, red, yellow, and green...
His opponent is the Dark Star Zerg, which comes from an unknown dimensional world. These Zerg have almost no individual consciousness. They have a female worm as a common "brain center". Different Zerg have different characteristics, corresponding to the functions of different arms.
.
At the beginning, only one high-level mother insect with strength at the epic level and 30,000 Dark Star Zerg from level 1 to level 5 descended.
However, as the battle began, the female worm began to hatch.
Now a total of 150,000 new Zerg species have been hatched.
The female worms stopped hatching a few hours ago, and it seems that they have reached a certain breeding limit.
A total of 180,000 Dark Star Zerg launched a tide-like charge under the command of the mother worm. Chen Rui's progress was faster than Caesar Piero.
Now that 90% of the Dark Star Zerg have been wiped out, and the defense of the territory is generally intact, overall he is more calm.
Don't look at the fact that Cesare Piero's overall rating is higher than him.
However, as a reborn person, Chen Rui's information advantage allowed him to complete more preparations in advance and hide more trump cards.
At this moment, he had just completed the latest round of fighting.
The surroundings are filled with the fishy smell of insects.
He took a few breaths to calm his heartbeat, and then sheathed his sword.
He also raised his head and glanced at the countdown in the sky.
"This challenge is coming to an end."
"The next development period is the focus."
"The crises of the second act seemed less dire."
Chen Rui murmured with emotion.
He is naturally much stronger in this life than in the previous one.
It is enough to rank at the top of the T1 sequence among the lords.
If it weren't for the monster Zong Shen who appeared out of nowhere, he would have definitely become the leader among the lords.
He didn't pay much attention to guys like Cesare Piero.
Most people who can become the favored ones of heaven have extraordinary luck and intelligence.
In Chen Rui's previous life, Caesar Piero's fate was not good.
His territory is in the north. After the second act, the northern kingdom was in turmoil and the White Walkers invaded. He actually tried to obtain the hearts of the White Walkers, which ultimately led to his demise.
For Chen Rui, the current defensive challenge is just a small turning point.
When the second batch of lords arrives, the beginning of chaos will begin to appear. When the third batch of lords arrives, the continent will be in complete chaos.
Next, ten years until the arrival of the first batch of lords is the so-called third act, which is the real turning point for all lords!
