Chapter 446: Chapter 452: Assault on the Red Mountain Range

After several dozen minutes.

The violently erupting volcano finally began to calm down gradually.

Volcano City had become a place of devastation, no wonder the Spirit Realm Governor, who actually controls this city, was reluctant to invest in its construction. With the red volcano wreaking havoc every few days, any investment in resources here is like throwing steamed buns at dogs!

"The Red Sand Seal has been lifted!"

"The Red Sand Demon King has been resurrected!"

"All units, move out immediately!"

The Desert Governor Nazg issued the order.

Five units immediately left Volcano City and launched an attack on the Red Mountains through five different routes.

Xu Tianhua felt both excited and anticipatory: "Is it finally starting?"

Hang Yu reminded, "The Red Mountains are currently very dangerous, with monsters all around. The reconnaissance team should take action immediately."

Er Gou responded: "Awo, Boss, leave the reconnaissance mission to me!"

Bai and Er Gou were in charge of the reconnaissance mission.

They soon discovered the distribution of monsters nearby.

Currently, in the Red Mountains, craters caused by fire meteors could be seen everywhere, with all kinds of Red Sand Monsters readily visible in them.

Moreover, a staggering number of other monsters were wandering around. Most of these monsters were above the Golden Elite level, with hardly any ordinary monsters found, and almost every ten or so there would be a Lord monster.

The density of Lord Monsters.

Was staggeringly high!

However, the more Lord Monsters there were, the happier everyone was.

Only Lords could produce Green Spiritual Qi, and if they wanted to level up and become stronger, they had to rely on Lord Monsters. Hang Yu, at level 14, was already over 50%, and this time, he was determined to level up to 15!

Level fifteen was yet another threshold.

Reaching this level would be of great significance!

Bai quickly returned to report: "We encountered a very dense monster horde ahead, with more than four thousand estimated from our reconnaissance, and we couldn’t find a path around them."

Er Gou added, "Besides the extremely high density of Lord Monsters, I also detected the presence of two Bronze Overlords."

Everyone was overjoyed!

Encountering Overlord Monsters so quickly!

Luke said to his companions, "It was worth coming along!"

"Choosing to act with Boss Hang was indeed wise!" Diana also smiled, "We’ve never battled Overlord Monsters before, and didn’t expect to encounter two at once this time."

What does an Overlord Monster mean?

Blue Spiritual Qi, Blue Crystal Stone, Blue Equipment, Blue Scroll, Blue Skill Stone... in short, every Overlord level monster is a moving treasure!

Jiang Nan, Xu Tianhua, Zhao Ming, and others wore serious expressions and frowned.

In the Ancient Prison, they had fought against Overlord level monsters before, so they were well aware of how terrifying a level 15 Overlord monster could be, even a Bronze level Overlord is very powerful!

Two Overlord level monsters, three to four hundred Lord Monsters, plus nearly four thousand Golden Elites, and all were level 15.

This was going to be tough!

The Sand Spring City troops totaled only four thousand!

Hang Yu said, "We haven’t encountered the ultimate BOSS yet, so the troops must not sustain excessive damage prematurely. We’ll form a defensive line, with soldiers using bows and arrows for support from the back!"

Xu Tianhua nodded and immediately began to make arrangements.

Hang Yu took out a pile of jewelry-type equipment from his Storage Space.

Jiang Nan recognized these immediately upon seeing them and said, "Hey, aren’t these the Prison Beast series accessories?"

Indeed.

They were the green accessory series obtained from the Ancient Prison!

Hang Yu said, "The Prison Beast series accessories provide amazing fire resistance. Most of the monsters we’re encountering this time have fire attribute attacks, so using this equipment will make us much more effective."

He first picked five pieces for himself.

Two Prison Beast Agility Bracelets, two Prison Beast Agility Rings, and one Prison Beast Agility Necklace.

Although replacing a few pieces of Blue Equipment, including the Dragon Bone Arm Armor, slightly reduced several attributes, all five pieces were agility items, so Hang Yu’s speed not only didn’t decrease but actually increased quite a bit.

Of course.

That’s not the most important thing.

The most important point is.

The five pieces of equipment increased Hang Yu’s fire attribute resistance by 100 points!

With Hang Yu already having high defense due to the Ancient Holy War set, the addition of the Prison Beast accessory series and the immunity effect of the purple treasure Heart of the Fire Element King,

One could say.

At this moment, Hang Yu.

Wasn’t afraid of fire attribute damage at all!

Zhao Ming also changed into five pieces of the Prison Beast series accessories, which mostly increased his Constitution and Life Energy. His defense was already above Hang Yu’s, and with an additional hundred points of fire resistance, facing fire attribute attack Lord Monsters was as easy as scratching an itch.

Other main members also gradually changed into a few pieces.

But in terms of attributes, there weren’t many options; they used whatever they were allocated.

"Let’s go!"

Everyone got ready.

Hang Yu led the group to launch an attack on the Red Mountains.

Caught off guard, a large swath of the monster horde was immediately wiped out, and the remaining monsters, once aware, began to rush toward the human army.

Heaven-Slaying Sword!

Xu Tianhua swept out a magnificent Sword Qi toward the dense monsters; the Red Sand Warriors hit head-on by the Sword Qi were mostly shattered on the spot.

Sky-Splitting Wave Slash!

Spirit Sword Bureau’s Luke wasn’t to be outdone.

Using a Fourth Tier Skill, a fast and powerful circular Sword Qi was released, cutting through the monster horde like a boomerang, and then suddenly expanding, cutting dozens of monsters in half.

Ten Destruction Giant Soldier Mechas advanced.

These blue-quality Mechanical Shields had very high strength and could withstand anything below the Lord level.

Others also showed their skills in a lively battle.

Of course, these monsters weren’t pushovers. They quickly launched a strong counterattack, with Fireballs, Fire Walls, Blast Flames, Flaming Sabers, and Flame Slashes ceaselessly assaulting the humans.

Though the monsters were numerous,

They were unorganized and lacked cooperation,

So they couldn’t break through the humans’ defensive line. Sand Spring City’s Secret Technique Soldiers kept casting spells from behind the line to control approaching monsters, and soldiers in the rear showered them with waves of arrows.

The Healing Soldiers also, under command, methodically used Healing Skills to restore Life Energy to the injured.

Ten thousand, eleven thousand, twelve thousand, thirteen thousand...

Hang Yu felt the Spiritual Qi within him rising rapidly, increasing by four or five thousand in no time.

He used up this Qi.

Light-Seeking Sword was upgraded to level 2.

Acquiring Spiritual Qi in this environment was incredibly easy!

If this trend continued, it wouldn’t take long for Hang Yu to max out all Fourth Tier skills, and his strength would once again skyrocket!

But Spiritual Qi alone wasn’t enough!

Hang Yu charged directly into the monster horde, constantly taking attacks, but the damage they caused was barely ten or twenty points at most.

And that damage.

Was negated by the Heart of the Fire Element King.

Unless a large amount of attacks accumulated in a short time, these monsters could barely harm Hang Yu.

With the Prison Beast series fire resistance equipment,

And a purple treasure like the Heart of the Fire Element King,

Hang Yu found himself fearlessly charging through the monster horde with no worries, bulldozing his way through at will!

Rapid Shadow Instant Kill!

A Lord Monster fell!

Light-Seeking Sword!

A Lord Monster fell!

Chasing Light and Shadow Sword Array!

Yet another Lord Monster fell!

......

Hang Yu continued to fight amongst the monsters, specifically hunting Lord Monsters of higher ranks, and during this process, the Spiritual Qi essence within him rose at an astonishing speed.

55%... 56%... 57%... 58%!

After taking down ten Lords,

Plus others killed by the rest,

The Spiritual Qi essence within Hang Yu was nearing 60%; the speed was indeed astonishing, making leveling up seem faster and easier than expected!

But at this moment,

Hang Yu sensed a powerful presence.

The Shadow Demon Wolf-formed Er Gou’s true self immediately warned, "Awo, Boss, it’s a BOSS monster, and it’s targeting you!"

Accompanied by a blazing airflow,

An extraordinarily burly monster with a dark red hue all over charged forward, wielding a giant sword entirely formed of flames, and it aimed directly at Hang Yu.

The Flaming Giant Sword transformed into a Flame Shock Wave.

And fiercely blasted Hang Yu’s chest.

-31!

Red Sand Commander!

Level 15 Bronze Overlord!

Comparable to the strength of the Ancient Prison Warden!

Seeing such a grand display, everyone else was indeed startled. However, when they saw the damage it had done to Hang Yu, everyone was utterly baffled, completely shocked!
