I summon the heroic spirits of China in the infinite world.

The number of Dream Eaters was greater than expected, but the frequency of their invasions was not high.

Most of them came in in twos and threes or even alone, giving Li Ming ample space to farm monsters.

Lu Bu's experience points are steadily increasing.

Zhuge Liang is no less impressive, as his Eight Trigrams Formation allows him to gain some experience points from the Three Heroes of the Peach Garden on the other side.

Adding to the experience points accumulated from the Red Mountain Demon, his experience bar was now no shorter than Lu Bu's.

However, just as Li Ming thought the latter half of the night would be just as boring and was about to take a nap, he noticed something unusual.

If I remember correctly, among those figures lingering outside the territory, there seems to be one that has been there for a long time but has never entered.

He switched to a third-person, God-like perspective and zoomed in on the scene.

Judging from its outline, it should also be a dream-eating beast, only its body seems to be half a size larger.

However, because it is always in darkness, the whole picture cannot be seen.

"BOSS?"

Dawn tried to enchant the Detection Stone with Huang Zhong's enchantment to expand its range.

But it's still not close enough to detect anything.

"Go and take a look."

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming sent out a straw man.

"Grass!"

The straw man, upon receiving the order, dashed out in a flash.

It is very fast, and as a grass plant, it is not easily attacked by monsters, making it an ideal choice for scouting.

Before long, the scarecrow came running back.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The straw man gave a report with great enthusiasm, gesturing wildly.

Other dream-eating beasts have black and white fur, but this one is covered in pink fur with alluring purple patterns.

"Okay, I understand."

Li Ming frowned.

Judging from its different appearance, it's either a BOSS or some kind of rare monster.

But why is this guy just wandering around outside and not coming in?

Is it because it sensed the powerful aura of its own territory and dared not enter, or is it waiting for some opportunity?

Dawn can only speculate without any basis.

And so the night passed.

The pink dream-eating beast BOSS never set foot in the territory and eventually turned and left before dawn.

"They're gone..."

Li Ming had a feeling that this guy might come again tomorrow night.

[22 days until the great disaster strikes.]

[Summoners surviving on this map: 59/100.]

The morning sunlight shone on the territory, and a series of message notifications appeared.

"A total of 10 people were eliminated yesterday..."

Li Ming raised an eyebrow as he looked at the system notification.

He eliminated three of Hu's brothers yesterday, and that number is also counted in the elimination count.

That means a total of 7 people were eliminated by monsters last night.

"It seems that the increased level of monsters at night is not a unique situation that I've encountered alone."

The difficulty of the entire instance is increasing, and everyone is facing greater pressure to survive.

However, he is more concerned about something else right now.

Your Summoner Rank has been increased to LV6.

[New ability - Imprinting is now available.]

[Now you can trace the kinetic energy of the cubic stone.]

"The rubbing... has finally arrived."

Li Ming let out a long breath.

This function was recorded in the original owner's memories.

The effects of the Subcube Stone can be copied into item cards, making it convenient for summoners to carry when they go out.

In areas of the wild where no subcube stones are present, using a rubbing card is like carrying a miniature version of a subcube stone with you.

Currently, his rubbing ability is 3 rubbings per 24 hours.

The sub-cubes that can be imprinted within the territory are of three types: communication stone, exploration stone, and recovery stone.

Return stones, warning stones, and rainbow stones cannot be copied; their effects are meaningless even if copied.

One thing to note is that the effects of the imprint card do not benefit from the enchantments on the original gem.

For example, if a Probe Stone is enchanted with the "Experienced" perk for increased area of ​​effect, the Probe Cards printed from it will not have an increased area of ​​effect.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming first made a copy of a detection card so that he could investigate any special monsters he encountered during the hunt, such as bosses.

Knowing the BOSS's level and attributes in advance is very helpful for safety when hunting in the wild.

He used the remaining two credits to buy recovery stones.

Imprinting a recovery card will also consume the energy stored in the recovery stone.

"As a result, my hunting skills have also become stronger."

Li Ming tucked the three rubbing cards into his pocket.

Looking at the map again, the distance to the overseas summoners has become even closer.

The speed is about the same as previously estimated, with no significant changes.

The other party's arrival time is estimated to be around seventeen days.

"There is still time, but we cannot let our guard down."

Standing in front of the cabin, he began to make arrangements for today's hunt.

The strategy remains the same: splitting the forces into two groups – the most efficient approach.

The straw man led the Three Heroes of Peach Garden and Ma Chao, forming a team of four heroic spirits.

This lineup, with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei sharing nine health points, is enough to handle most situations and can easily dominate monster strongholds.

Huang Zhong stayed in his territory to maintain his [Patience] bonus, in case things changed tomorrow night.

He himself was accompanied by Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, and the Stone Monkey.

The Stone Monkey is responsible for drawing fire, Lu Bu is the main attacker, and Zhuge Liang gains experience points.

The main purpose is to level up Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, the [Eight Trigrams Formation] cannot be triggered, so Zhuge Liang can only use his pitiful attack power to chip away at the enemy's health.

"Straw Man, let's go."

"Grass!"

At dawn's command, the scarecrow led the main force and dashed out of the territory.

He himself boarded the sedan chair.

Originally, Zhao Yun wasn't usually in this group, but after trying it out just now, it seems the Prime Minister really isn't suitable to carry the sedan chair.

The speed at which the sedan chair is carried depends on the slower side.

Zhuge Liang's frail physique and slow pace severely hampered the sedan chair's speed.

It would be faster for Dawn to get out of bed and walk.

Therefore, Zhao Yun could only be assigned to this side, solely responsible for carrying the sedan chair and protecting his own safety, without participating in combat.

Anyway, Zhao Yun can gain experience points from the bond with the Five Tiger Generals, so it's not a big deal.

……

This time, all the coordinates found in the public chat were genuine, and I didn't encounter any more malicious summoners.

After a day of fighting, the results were pretty good.

Although no cards dropped, I still gained a few hundred cubes.

However, more valuable than the profits was the experience points gained from this trip.

Under Li Ming's deliberate control, Zhuge Liang was fed a lot of demons, which enabled him to keep up with Lu Bu's pace.

Both of these heroic spirits reached LV2 at almost the same time in the final moments.

Zhuge Liang's level has been increased to LV2.

The Heroic Spirit's attributes have been improved.

You can now choose the Spirit Trait for it.

Lu Bu's level has been increased to LV2.

The Heroic Spirit's attributes have been improved.

You can now choose the Spirit Trait for it.

Dawn didn't rush to check immediately, but instead activated the [Return Stone] sensor on his body at the first moment.

After a 30-second guidance session, he was standing next to the main cube again.
