Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Of course, since Matthew was the one who killed him, the special item that dropped in the end naturally belonged to Matthew.

After all, Matthew's strength has reached the half-step sixth level. He has always been a confidant of Tang Wu, enjoying a life of luxury and collecting a lot of job-changing items. Of course, he has enough resources to achieve what he has now.

As for future developments, as long as you follow the [Manufacturing Association], you definitely won't suffer any losses!

Matthew was quite pleased to receive the special item; after all, having such a trophy made the trip worthwhile.

After doing all this, Matthew still felt somewhat pleased.

After all, such a good item with special properties isn't something you can just collect easily. It's definitely a good thing that I had the opportunity to get my hands on such a good item.

"Matthew, it seems your strength is getting stronger and stronger. You took down such a big black bird with just a wave of your hand. Well done!"

A boy with fairy ears and dark brown skin came up to Matthew and greeted him cheerfully.

“Edward, you’re not bad either. You’ve already reached the fifth job advancement. I estimate it won’t be long before you surpass me.”

Matthew wasn't buying into the flattery at all and immediately gave it a piece of his mind.

"Oh dear, what are you talking about? You're the guild leader's confidant, with so many resources. I've only taken a few; how could I possibly surpass the top figures of your guilds!"

Edward quickly waved his hand, changing the subject. After all, lingering on this topic for too long wasn't a good thing. He looked down in the direction of the crimson demon flower and smiled:
"It should only be a matter of time before our [Manufacturing Association] takes down this Crimson Demon Flower. Its second heart is completely shattered, and its overall healing ability has been weakened by more than half. Now, only the crystal membrane needs to be broken... I must say, these crystal membranes are really troublesome. They are so hard that even with the firepower of our [Manufacturing Association], it takes a long time to even budge them a little. It is indeed a bit difficult!"

Matthew calmly replied, "It's alright, it's just a matter of time. We, the [Manufacturing Association], have plenty of firepower; we're never short of firepower. It's just a matter of when we'll take this guy down!"

At the same time, the Crimson Demon Flower now only has nine hearts, but two of them have been broken, leaving only seven hearts, which has weakened its strength.

But it's only a part of it.

When the Crimson Flower realized that two of its hearts had died, it went completely mad!
It began to erupt in bursts of loud noise.

The commotion immediately spread throughout the entire industrial zone, and everyone noticed the blood-red demon flower's frantic babbling.

The muttering voice echoed throughout every corner, making all the players present feel as if a voice was constantly uttering incoherent and delirious words in their minds. This caused a tightness in their chests, making them feel as if they were about to faint.

"Damn it! What's wrong with this blood-red demon flower? It can actually release this kind of mental attack. This mental pollution is too serious! It even produces such an effect. It's just too troublesome!"

"That's right... the strength of the Crimson Demon Flower has indeed exceeded our expectations. To be able to do something like this, it is indeed not simple!"

"Even with the [Manufacturing Association]'s firepower being so intense, they still can't take care of this guy? This is really too troublesome!"

"It doesn't matter. With the strength of the [Manufacturing Association], we have already completely suppressed this Crimson Flower. What we need to see now is how to use even stronger attacks to seal off all the vines of the Crimson Flower, and then let the [Manufacturing Association] continue to output damage until it pierces through the heart. In this way, the Crimson Flower will die completely."

"But achieving all this is definitely not an easy task. The Crimson Demon Flower's rank is far too high, and it also has such powerful vines that are constantly impacting the Longhu Mountain formation. Look, there are already some cracks appearing at the edge of that formation. But I don't know why Longhu Mountain is able to withstand it so well, reaching such a level and still maintaining the formation so that it won't be broken. The players' strength is getting stronger and stronger."

"You're right. Now that we players have become stronger, it's only a matter of time before we take down the Crimson Flower. Don't worry, with our current strength, dealing with the Crimson Flower shouldn't be a problem."

"Those who are not strong enough should hide behind the formation and not go out casually. If you get caught in it, you will bear the consequences yourself. The Crimson Demon Flower has no chance of taking down this formation."

"Fortunately, the clergy of the Sunlit Church are all at the forefront, dealing with this blood-red demon flower, which gives us more opportunities to hide in the back and deal damage as needed!"

"Today, the Church of the Sun still plays an extremely important role. Without the stability of the Church of the Sun, we would probably not be able to easily confront these blood-red vines head-on."

"After absorbing the power of the metal, these vines are no longer afraid of physical attacks. Moreover, because it is a forbidden object, this guy's mind is already extremely crazy and chaotic, only possessing primitive destructiveness. Therefore, it will not be weakened by mental attacks. All we need to do is destroy these blood-red vines on a material level. However, after absorbing the metal, these blood-red vines immediately became violent, with their defense and vitality increasing dramatically, making our attacks completely ineffective against this monster."

"Only the weapons of the Sun Chapel have the holy effect of purifying impurities, which can effectively attack the Crimson Vines. Of course, there are also some players whose offensive methods have reached the fifth rank or above and have high destructive power. They can also deal continuous damage to the Crimson Flower. But such players are very rare in our group."

"No matter what, we definitely still have a way to take down the Crimson Demon Flower; we just need to wait for the right opportunity."

At this moment, on this battlefield, more and more players are joining the fight against the Crimson Demon Flower. They may not be strong enough, but they are good at finding good positions to deal damage.

Once a suitable location is found to launch a special attack on the Crimson Flower, even if the massive Crimson Vines are slightly weakened, they can still play a certain role.

Chen Ye stood on high ground, watching the battle, and felt relieved.
"Nowadays, players really do choose areas they're good at. It's really necessary for them to be able to cooperate like this in a dungeon!"

Wu Nian, standing to the side, seemed a bit bored and sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate.

"It's a pity that this place has little spiritual energy, otherwise these players might become quite different by cultivating the power of the laws."

Wu Nian gave a rather regrettable answer: the players in this area will probably have to wait for a while until they can collectively ascend to the Spirit Realm before they can have a decent development.

However, the spirit realm is also a vast area.

Only in places like the Holy Mountain can traces of the absorption of laws be found.

Other places may have a slightly richer and more concentrated spiritual energy, but if we're talking about extremely concentrated spiritual energy, only places like sacred mountains, which are born from spirits, have a much richer spiritual energy.

"After tonight's battle, I will need to return to the spirit world to continue that journey."

Chen Ye smiled slightly. From Wu Nian, he saw the power of this law, and just how powerful its suppressive force was against the monsters of the Void Realm. Chen Ye knew he had to return to Sky City, to that familiar yet unfamiliar sacred mountain, to continue this journey and gain even greater power. Only then could he reach the pinnacle of his strength and become a truly powerful being. At this moment, the battle on the field had reached a fever pitch.

With the surrounding area completely cleared of red zombies, all players can now gradually join the fight against the Crimson Flower.

"This praying mantis is really troublesome!"

As dawn broke, the sun darted through the various areas of the industrial zone, searching for the mantis's trail. This mantis had to be killed now!

Seeing that things were going badly, the mantis hurriedly ran away, trying to leave the industrial area. He knew that even the Crimson Flower couldn't save him...

But the mantis is very cunning; it has already obtained a portion of the power from the Crimson Flower.

With this power, the mantis becomes incredibly strong and difficult to kill with any special ability.

Therefore, when Dawn was chasing the mantis, she always encountered considerable setbacks and difficulties. She felt that she could hit the mantis every time, but the mantis had absorbed a particularly strong life force and became difficult to kill. Even if she put in a lot of effort to kill the mantis, it would still take a certain amount of time.

"If you're so capable, then don't run away. All you do is run away; what skills do you actually have?"

Chenxi gave a cold laugh, watching the mantis flee, wishing he could lock onto the creature and kill it directly.

The mantis kept fleeing and has now reached the edge of the industrial zone.

The sunlight, from the direction of the doorway, shone obliquely onto the mantis.

next second.

Strange eyeballs kept sprouting from the mantis's body. These eyeballs looked extremely sinister, possessing a corrupting and degenerate power, as if they wanted to resist and retaliate against the dawn.

"So that's how it is. It's this kind of depraved and filthy power. But unfortunately, you are now completely surrounded by me and have absolutely no chance to fight back!"

Chenxi's figure charged towards the mantis!
Even under the dark sun's rays, Chenxi still didn't believe that the mantis had any chance of defeating him.

After absorbing the power of the Black Sun, the Mantis immediately gained the power of a sixth-level cultivator, but it was still weaker than the Dawn.

The Holy Sword of Dawn, carrying a world-destroying radiance, launched a fatal strike towards the mantis's figure!

Under this sword strike, everything seemed to melt!

The mantis was forced back several steps by the sword light, but it still couldn't avoid the damage from the sword energy and was knocked more than a hundred meters away.

The blazing fire of the sun burned continuously on the mantis's body, erupting in a devastating burst of flames.

The mantis felt excruciating pain; after all, this kind of injury was far too severe for it.

It will make you feel very uncomfortable.

now.

The mantis continued to ooze black slime, and its aura weakened considerably. After taking Dawn's sword strike, the mantis's rank and aura had dropped to the half-step sixth level, and its defense and life force had decreased significantly.

Can it still run?

Chenxi revealed a determined look; she was determined to get rid of this mantis completely.

The next second, a burst of howling flames erupted from the tip of the sword in Chenxi's hand, engulfing the mantis's figure.

Rumble!!!

The mantis's figure was instantly engulfed by the flames, and everything about it began to rapidly disintegrate and crumble as the sacred flames burned it.

At this moment, the mantis's eyes were filled with resentment. He did not want to die, but there was nothing he could do. Dawn's offensive was simply too powerful.

A short while later.

The mantis's figure was completely annihilated by the flames and disappeared.

"Dealing with this guy is really tough!"

Chenxi couldn't help but frown, feeling that her methods for dealing with the mantis were still not decisive enough.

"If it were him...wouldn't it be simpler, or even require almost no effort?"

In the morning light, the image of the figure holding the suona in his hand came to mind again. If he were there, everything would have been much easier and simpler.

Living under the spotlight and in the shadow of glory, Chenxi has always been hailed as the most powerful player. But only she knows that there is another player who is even more powerful than herself. That player stands at the true pinnacle, possesses extraordinary power, and can change the rules.

That's Chen Ye!
Therefore, whenever Chenxi achieves a certain level of success, she thinks of Chen Ye, knowing that there are always mountains beyond mountains, people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. To become truly powerful, she would have to push the strongest player off the leaderboard; otherwise, she wouldn't even be qualified. (End of Chapter)
