Chapter 1467: Chapter 1467

1467: Chapter 1463: Partition 1467: Chapter 1463: Partition High-level Extraordinary Beings may not inherently be that strong, but their health bars are never short.

Especially those born as Extraordinary species, their abilities might not be as varied as those of professionals, but their life force is absolutely far beyond that of professionals of the same grade.

Especially the Phoenix, naturally endowed with the concepts of Regeneration and Revival, “Undying bird” is its alias.

The one in front of them had clearly mutated, its life force staggeringly powerful.

But this time, it encountered its nemesis.

A “Lancer” of the eighth-tier continuously hurled javelins, tearing its flesh asunder, while the malicious “Energy Draining” Curse was claiming its life.

Lu Ping’an released another dozen javelins, ranging from Armor-breaking to bloodsucking to strength-siphoning.

The greatest benefit of being Lu Ping’an’s teammate was probably the full-scale logistics support, always providing the most specifically targeted weapons.

Lu Ping’an himself had gone even further, constantly creating holes inside the large bird…

At the same time, the constantly exploding Clones were further damaging this Undead bird.

In fact, by the third hour of the battle, the bird had already let out a Lament and fallen once.

But the next moment, it transformed into a flame egg and quickly began to hatch.

However, the humans, well-prepared for this sight, had already constructed a frigid prison and at this point, further reinforced it.

This time it only took an hour to reach its limit.

On the one hand, the Reviving bird had clearly grown weaker; more importantly, the three Strongmen hunting it had become accustomed to its attack patterns…

Once the attack module of a BOSS was fully understood, its downfall was merely a matter of time.

Compared to human professionals, “Beasts” might have an absolute advantage in strength, but in real combat, it was often the much more versatile and weapon-skilled humans that had the upper hand.

While the main battlefield on Lu Ping’an’s side was still ongoing, the secondary battlefield with the white unicorns had ended sooner.

Once they realized it was difficult to break through the defensive line, to avoid further losses, the unicorns chose to flee.

In that world, this battlefield had long become an Ice Age upon the water.

In reality, compared to the hunt itself, creating a restrictive environment to completely bind it to the battlefield was what cost the most time and resources.

To Hunt the Fire Phoenix, they had first killed its natural enemy, the Ice Wolf, using its flesh and Claws to create targeted weapons, while Lu Ping’an made comprehensive adjustments and preparations specifically for it.

The amount of resources spent on this set of weapons, equipment, and preparation of the venue, only heaven knows…

After the third Revival, the giant bird before them no longer uttered “human sounds,” it merely struggled and roared like a wild beast.

It seemed that its Personality Fragments had dissipated along with its Death and Regeneration.

“Let it end completely…”

But the cruel Hunter would not leave any possibility unchecked.

Finally, when it fell once more and did not undergo Nirvana into an egg again, the Hunt finally ended…

At this time, they had been through a day and a night of fierce fighting.

And this had exceeded everyone’s expectations.

“I thought we’d be fighting for more than three days…”

The eighth-tier Healer, also a temporary support called in for assistance, was planned to be in a state of continuous battle-readiness for three days, and still had a large amount of physical strength and combat reserves.

“After revival, I’m weaker than expected; at the same time, my damage capability is much higher than anticipated…”

Despite being the youngest and the only seventh-tier among the three main attackers, no one contested his self-praise.

After all, actual combat is the clearest indicator of the truth, and Lu Ping’an had not only completed his expected tasks but had also stolen much of the work from others.

Under normal circumstances, hunting a Fire Phoenix would definitely require a prolonged fight involving the highest-tier “Frost Cold” and “Death Power” abilities.

Then, based on basic strategy, one would need a “Tank” to block it, a damage-dealing Output-personnel, and a Healer to provide healing and cure.

This is essentially the standard tactical configuration for monster hunting, and most battlefields have proven this approach to be simple and effective.

Yet Lu, able to turn into flames, participated in this battle as a Tank, and the result was that he not only perfectly performed defensive and containment abilities, but also inflicted a significant amount of damage and weakening…

Most audaciously, he even provided several emergency healings.

Such versatility had the other top combat powers doubting whether they were even needed, wondering if the young man could have handled it alone.

“I couldn’t have, on my own I don’t know how long it would take…

Our consumables wouldn’t last that long, and if it fled at full strength, I would be at a loss.”

Looking at the Firebird carcass starting to turn to ashes and some crystallized blood, Lu Ping’an also sighed that it was much easier than expected.

Of course, discussing these things meant it was time to divide the spoils.

These super Divine Beasts, on average stronger than eighth-tier, might also have fused with some World Fragments…

It’s just that previously the hunting difficulty was so high that eighth-tier Big Shots rarely acted together, so Easterners generally overlooked them.

But their value was exceedingly high; such a level of Demons were rare and powerful, or else they wouldn’t have become part of Its collection.

And now, these Divine Beasts with Personality Fragments…

As World Fragments with Personality dropped, they were definitely absorbed by them, and often they were the most suitable type for them.

“Indeed, it’s ‘Revival’…”

[Revival Instrument (World Keystone Fragment): A red gem that has fused ‘Revival’ and Phoenix blood…]

This artifact was clearly the most valuable.

Without it, this Fire Phoenix wouldn’t have been revived a total of nine times…

If not for the substantial expense to block its escape route, killing it would have been almost infeasible.

While discussing this, Little Flame, who had made a significant contribution, was eyeing it incessantly.

Lu Ping’an exhaled and turned to the other two eighth-tiers, as well as the seventh-tier combat powers still on guard on the periphery.

“I’ll take it, and give up the rest.

I’ll add a little more…”

Strength and accomplishments were always the most persuasive reasons, and Lu Ping’an was straightforward, directly claiming his spoils of war.

The flesh and feathers of the Phoenix were quite valuable, but combined they could not compare to the gem.

Treasures always find an owner, and since Lu Ping’an exerted the most effort and investment, it was only natural for him to claim the most valuable reward…

The rest was how much compensation would be given to the others.

As it turned out, the two eighth-tiers acquired a Rule-level weapon customization from Lu Ping’an, plus a consumables allowance of five hundred points, and each participating seventh-tier member received two hundred, as a gesture.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Ping’an’s Life-points were starting to resemble a high-end environment’s ‘general equivalent’, in some sense, his efforts alone had realized what many Proper God Churches had been promoting with the credit-coins system.

Watching the others continue to divide the spoils from the Giant Beast, Lu Ping’an was not idle either.

After this battle, he became more certain that the most useful path for strengthening was to enhance his Magic Pet.

Now that he had core materials suitable for Little Flame’s use, it was naturally time to let it evolve on the spot.

“Eat up while it’s fresh, Little Flame.
