…
Under Zhang Yanhang's rapid hunting, the dozens of hematite destroyer ants that originally surrounded him were all cleared away within a second or two. The sound of huge sonic booms and collisions followed the sound of twenty or thirty.
The meter-wide channel extends all the way back, forming waves of echoes that continue to spread into the distance.
Although Zhang Yanhang knows the fifth-ring magic high-level silent force field, at this time, it is obviously unnecessary to use it. After all, he hopes that other large red iron ants will take the initiative to rush to him after hearing this sound and come to see what happened.
After dealing with the nearly forty red iron destroyer ants, Zhang Yanhang was not in a hurry to leave, but wanted to wait for the refresh of the dropped treasure chests.
Although he said before that waiting would be a waste of time, after all, this is the first dropped treasure box he is going to get after entering the large red iron ant nest of Tarano. It is still worth waiting. After all, he has to wait first.
Just explore and explore the specific situation, so that you will be more motivated when hunting.
"By the way, this red iron destroyer ant is indeed a second-order three-level elite monster. Although it is only the weakest monster in the large red iron ant nest Talano, it is still worth one hundred and sixty soul points, which is more than what I had before.
The serious second-order four-star monster Lava Turtle hunted by the permanent teleportation channel has 10 soul points higher, which is really good."
Although Zhang Yanhang thinks they are almost the same, it has to be said that although the Red Iron Destroyer Ants do not have any serious attack methods, they are still stronger than the Lava Giant Turtle.
As for the giant lava turtle, although it is a turtle, its defense power is actually relatively average for the second-level four-star level, mainly because of its powerful long-range attack methods.
As for the red iron destroyer ant, although Zhang Yanhang felt that its defense was actually as brittle as a piece of paper, this was normal. After all, in front of him, the defense of the third-level monster was actually as brittle as a piece of paper.
At most it's just paper folded in half.
But there are indeed some differences. Zhang Yanhang feels that the red iron destroyer ant is definitely much stronger than the giant lava turtle in terms of defense. Although it does not reach the third level, it is still at the peak level of the second level, and maybe it is.
It is precisely because of its outstanding defense that it is ten soul points higher than the Lava Giant Turtle, reaching a kill value of one hundred and sixty soul points.
"I remember that when I scanned the entire large hematite ant nest in Tarano, I also scanned at least 50,000 to 60,000 large hematite ants. Although the number is slightly less than the more than 80,000 over the permanent transmission channel, but in
In terms of quality, it is definitely better than the permanent transmission channel."
Zhang Yanhang estimated that the soul points gained directly from killing monsters alone would be more in the large red iron ant nest Talano than in the permanent teleportation channel. As for the final total income, it would have to be at least tens of millions to start with. Indeed.
Only this level of income can be worthy of his current soul point consumption needs.
"Speaking of which, I don't know what the drop rate of treasure chests will be for killing second-level monsters. It won't be the same as killing first-level monsters, where every thirty drops will be one? That would be a bit uncomfortable..."
But Zhang Yanhang feels that such an outrageous situation should not happen. It is more likely to be the same as when he hunted first-level monsters before he was promoted to third level. That is, if he kills almost twenty monsters, he will drop one.
The extent of the treasure chest.
While Zhang Yanhang was thinking, three purple-quality dropped treasure chests began to appear one after another on the corpses of the more than forty red iron destroyer ants that he had just killed.
"Except for the treasure box that I got from the first kill, the remaining forty or so red iron destroyer ants dropped a total of two treasure boxes for me? It's not bad. Or, it's just like me.
As expected.”
Although he has just started hunting second-level monsters, Zhang Yanhang estimates that based on the current situation, he will hunt other second-level monsters in the same way in the future. Just like before, he will need to kill twenty monsters before he can drop.
Dropping a treasure chest is indeed good news.
Even though the drop rate has dropped by two times compared to before, it is at least much better than having to kill thirty first-level monsters to get one dropped treasure chest.
Zhang Yanhang quickly stepped forward to pick up the few purple-quality dropped treasure boxes and put them into his pocket. He just scanned the surrounding hematite destroying ants and found that there were indeed hematite destroying ants. After hearing the echo, he started
Go this way.
However, although the Zhang Yanhang in the past might have waited for them to crawl over slowly, the Zhang Yanhang now was different after all. He disliked them for crawling too slowly, and it would be faster to run in both directions, so he quickly
Follow the passage and start heading towards the group of red iron ants.

Thursday, October 29th, the fourth day after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the first day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashes World, 4:33 pm, Ashes World, Hematite Veins, Large Hematite Ant Nest Tarano
, peripheral area.
Zhang Yanhang silently released a death wave and then began to wait quietly for the killing sound. Along with a circle of transparent invisible waves quickly spread around his body, and in the next moment, his ears immediately
Then intensive kill notification sounds began to sound.

…
"Including this death wave, I should have almost cleaned up an area of 20 square kilometers, but it only took ten minutes. This cleaning efficiency is much better than previously estimated, almost
It only takes half a minute, or thirty seconds, to clean an area of one square kilometer.
Gu Zhen
But although it is indeed fast enough, it is still far behind the speed I used to clean the small hematite ant nest Daragu, where it only took fifteen seconds to clean one square kilometer.
If I continue to clean up at the current efficiency, I am afraid it will take at least five or six hours to finally clean up the entire area of the large red iron ant nest Tarano, and this does not include the time of picking up treasure chests.
I'm afraid seven and a half hours is not enough time to pick up the treasure chest."
Although he has just started cleaning up the large hematite ant nest in Tarano, Zhang Yanhang feels that he needs to take a rest first, or in other words, go back to pick up the treasure box first, and open a treasure box to see if he can get anything that can improve the hunting efficiency.
equipment.
If not, he may need to adjust the cleanup plan next and rely on other means to improve hunting efficiency.
After all, although his current hunting efficiency is already very fast, if he continues step by step according to the current mode, the last seven and a half hours will definitely not be enough, and it will definitely be delayed until the teleportation channel is closed before all the monsters have been cleared.
That's a little bit not good.
"When I first arrived in a new area, I usually hunted a few monsters casually and opened the treasure chest immediately after getting it. This time, I cleared twenty square kilometers before opening the treasure chest for the first time. It is indeed due to the improvement in hunting efficiency.
There has been progress.
After all, if these twenty square kilometers were placed in the previous demonized swamp, it would have taken at least two hours to clean, but here, it only took ten minutes to clean it up."
As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he triggered a time pause. He first looked for the specific locations of each dropped treasure box, and then started to officially start picking up the treasure boxes.
…………
Thursday, October 29th, the fourth day after the Double Ninth Festival, is also the first day Zhang Yanhang enters the world of ashes. At 4:37 pm, the world of ashes, hematite veins, and the large hematite ant nest Tarano
, peripheral area.
"I thought it would take me ten minutes to hunt monsters, but I didn't expect that it would take another three or four minutes to pick up a treasure chest. As a result, my speed of clearing one square kilometer would be reduced to forty."
After a few seconds, this is completely unbearable."
If calculated according to this efficiency, Zhang Yanhang estimated that it would take him exactly seven and a half hours to clean the entire large red iron ant nest in Tarano. He could not make any stops or delays during the whole process, let alone open the treasure chest. He had to do it
This efficiency can only be achieved by fighting all the way to the end, which is obviously completely unrealistic.
"Sure enough, we should find some ways to improve hunting efficiency. But we will wait until we finish opening the treasure chest. The most important thing now is to open the treasure chest. After all, new equipment that can improve hunting efficiency may be directly available in the treasure chest.
"
Zhang Yanhang sat cross-legged on the ground, poured out the dropped treasure box he had just picked up from his pocket, and began to count the quantities.
After the count was completed, Zhang Yanhang discovered that he had obtained a total of 112 dropped treasure boxes this time, all of which were purple-quality dropped treasure boxes from the red iron destroyer ants.
"In the past, the only way for me to obtain purple-quality dropped treasure chests was through high-level monsters in various areas. The number was often very small, with five or six being considered a lot. But now, with the promotion of ranks,
The purple-quality dropped treasure chests can be opened randomly, and you can easily get more than a hundred of them."
Zhang Yanhang was really impressed by this. After all, the treasure chests dropped by this quality were at the same level as when he had previously killed the Red Iron Ant King, the Chief Goblin Shaman Maka Baga, and the Demonized Four-Eyed Wild Boar George.
It can only be obtained by monsters.
But before starting to open the treasure chest, Zhang Yanhang first took a look at his soul point balance. He wanted to know how many soul points he had gained in total by clearing the twenty square kilometers of monsters.
[Soul points: 1731934 (+336160)]
"The Red Iron Destroyer Ant is worthy of being a second-order and three-star elite monster. It only cleared an area of 20 square kilometers. I have gained 336,160 soul points just from the pure killing profit.
The balance has increased from the original 1,395,774 soul points to 1,731,934 soul points."
Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but think of the small hematite ant nest Daragu that he had just cleaned up. He had obviously cleaned up forty square kilometers, but even with the treasure box income, he only got more than 10,000 soul points.
At least the difference is more than fifty times.
And if you include the profit from the treasure chest later, the difference should easily be hundreds of times greater.
During this hunting process, Zhang Yanhang had almost figured out the density of monsters in Tarano, the large red iron ant nest.
In this regard, compared to the Demonic Swamp, which has only a few dozen monsters per square kilometer, the large red iron ant nest of Tarano is really much better. There are almost a hundred monsters in their early years per square kilometer.
, basically within the range of 100-120.
Only in rare cases will there be less than a hundred, but even if it is less than a hundred, there will be at least ninety red iron destroyer ants, which is indeed far more than the demonized swamp.
Although compared to the high-density areas of two to three hundred monsters per square kilometer encountered before, the monster density of the large hematite ant nest in Tarano is not too high.
But in this case, it also depends on the size difference. If the hematite-destroying ants are as small as the hematite worker ants, then Zhang Yanhang thinks that the average density of hematite-destroying ants may reach two to three hundred.
But hematite destroyer ants are, after all, as big as a rhinoceros. With such a large size, it is obviously unrealistic to pile up two to three hundred of them in one square kilometer.
If it were flat land, it might be possible, but this is an underground cave after all, and there are solid hematite ores everywhere. The open space and passages that were actually dug out only occupy a small part of it. Therefore, there can actually be a hundred per square kilometer.
That’s already a lot.
"I killed almost 2,100 red iron destroyer ants this time, and then harvested 112 dropped treasure chests. It seems that my previous estimate of the drop rate was quite accurate. I almost killed two.
Ten hematite destroyer ants can drop a purple quality treasure chest."
Zhang Yanhang even feels that he can't actually use twenty. As long as he kills nineteen red iron destroyer ants, he can almost harvest a purple-quality dropped treasure chest. However, his current statistical sample is not too sufficient, so he should wait.
After killing more red iron destroyer ants, you can get the real treasure chest drop rate.
Zhang Yanhang is really concerned about this matter about the drop rate of treasure chests. After all, it is related to the speed of his talent upgrade.
