"This is quite impressive!"

Awakening a skill directly boosts damage by 10%.

With this kind of output, isn't it much easier to gain experience?

"Now this is a reliable skill!"

Xiao Chen was quite satisfied with the skill he had awakened this time, and he could still use eight ordinary professional skill books.

"Still need 1,600 gold!"

After a moment of happiness, Xiao Chen had to continue tackling the level four dungeons.

The original team had disbanded, but that wasn't a big deal; he could just form another team.

At level 36, finding a team was already very easy.

Xiao Chen opened the panel, wondering if he could find a stable team within the guild.

At this moment, a special announcement suddenly popped up in the guild channel:

"The Tianxing Guild has spent 1 million contribution points to establish a level one territory, Tianxing Village, at coordinates (316,425)."

"The Tianxing Guild has spent 400,000 contribution points to build level one village walls."

"Spent 400,000 contribution points to build four level one defense towers!"

"Territory mine is being generated."

"Territory Fountain of Life is being generated."

"Territory Fountain of Mana is being generated."

Seeing this series of broadcasts, Xiao Chen felt a bit unreal.

"Guild territory?"

The Tianxing Guild had grown rapidly over the past year, but Xiao Chen hadn't expected the guild to be able to establish a territory.

In Tiannan City, only five or six guilds had territories.

After establishing a level one territory, the guild's contribution points were nearly exhausted.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty to establish a guild?"

Xiao Chen glanced at the guild's coordinates, which were 20 miles away from the north gate of Tiannan City.

The area was full of high-level monsters; could it really be defended?

Xiao Chen checked the guild members' status, and those ranked higher were already at level seventy.

"Without reaching level 100, it's impossible to defend a territory."

Xiao Chen knew this, and naturally, the guild's higher-ups did too.

"True, the Tianxing Guild doesn't have level 100 experts, but Tiannan City does."

If high-level monsters attacked, the city's experts would likely intervene.

"Hopefully, this territory can really be established."

The better the guild developed, the more beneficial it was for Xiao Chen.

"With the establishment of a guild territory, there should be some changes, right?"

As Xiao Chen pondered this, he saw a series of guild broadcasts.

"All professionals above level 30, immediately head to the guild territory to participate in the city defense!

Quickly join a team and gather at the north gate to head to the guild territory together."

"Professionals participating in the city defense will be rewarded with 100 gold!"

"Everyone must strive to earn guild contribution points and quickly upgrade the territory.

With a territory, all professionals can benefit, so please do your best."

Since he had to participate in the city defense, Xiao Chen decided not to tackle the level four dungeon for now.

Xiao Chen joined a team and hurried to the north gate.

From the north gate to the territory was 20 miles, and without experts leading the way, it would be dangerous.

When Xiao Chen joined the team, the number of people just exceeded 10,000, meaning the guild had over 10,000 professionals above level 30.

A large number of guild members were being taken away in batches, and Xiao Chen followed a hundred-member team directly.

Leading them to the territory was Chen Zhan, the powerful Berserker.

Along the way, there were small monsters of levels 30 to 40, and Chen Zhan wielded two axes, cutting a path through them.

"Once we reach the territory, don't wander off alone.

There will be continuous monster sieges, possibly lasting decades."

"As long as we can hold out for a month, that will be the greatest victory.

By then, the teleportation array to Tiannan City will be completed, and the territory will be safe."

"Relying heavily on defense towers and walls, the regeneration and mana recovery speed within the territory will be much faster."

"Don't worry about high-level monsters attacking; everything is arranged.

Today, five guilds are establishing territories simultaneously, so the monsters won't react immediately. Take this opportunity to enter the territory quickly.

Later, entering the territory will be much more difficult."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen felt something was amiss.

"Does this mean if the territory can't be defended, they won't be able to return to Tiannan City?"

With this thought, Xiao Chen felt a bit like running away.

Earning 100 gold as a reward wasn't as easy as it seemed.

Halfway there, it was impossible to leave the team, or else they'd be devoured by countless monsters.

An hour later, they finally reached their destination.

Tianxing Village, a small village covering a hundred acres.

When Xiao Chen arrived at the village, a large number of monsters were already attacking.

Several strong individuals from the territory came out to assist, and everyone worked together to clear a path into Tianxing Village.

The newly generated village was very rudimentary, with only a wall and four defense towers; most of the place was empty.

In the center, there were two gushing fountains, presumably the so-called Fountain of Life.

"Ding, you've entered the guild territory, HP +1000, Attack +200, Defense +100."

Seeing such powerful buffs, Xiao Chen felt a bit more at ease.

"You've received the level one Fountain of Life buff, recovering 10 HP per second."

"You've received the level one Fountain of Mana buff, recovering 10 mana per second."

Apart from the territory's bonuses, Xiao Chen also received dozens of team auras and skill bonuses.

This made Xiao Chen even more at ease, as his attack power reached 9000, and his HP exceeded 10,000.

"Wang Zhen, have you arrived?"

Upon entering the territory, Xiao Chen sent a message to the members of the Gale Squad.

"We're here, fighting those wall-climbing monsters on the north wall!"

Alright, defending the city seemed very dangerous, as the monsters were climbing the walls.

After joining the squad, Xiao Chen saw Wang Zhen and the others were in the middle of the wall.

"Why aren't you under the defense tower?"

"That spot was taken long ago. Captain, hurry up, we're about to be overwhelmed."

Wang Zhen and the others were now level 35, and Xiao Chen wasn't much stronger than them.

"I'm coming!"

Xiao Chen dashed towards the wall, seeing professionals and monsters battling fiercely all over it.

Some monsters had even climbed over the wall, only to be killed by the professionals.

"Damn, most of them are level 40 to 50 monsters; how can we defend against this!"

Xiao Chen regretted coming; perhaps he shouldn't have come today?

Of course, having arrived, there was no turning back.

Once on the wall, Xiao Chen immediately took out his bow and arrows.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

(-8613)

(-9126)

Level 30 small monsters went down in one shot, which was quite satisfying. Level 40 small monsters were more challenging to kill.

Soon, Xiao Chen saw the struggling Gale Squad.

Just like the first time they met, they were having a hard time holding on.

The monsters they faced were higher level, with attack power and HP far beyond ordinary small monsters.

If not for the three Tanks, Wang Zhen and the others would likely have perished.

The three Tanks each held off a level 42 black giant python.

It was a monster Xiao Chen hadn't seen before.

"Nether Giant Python, LV42, HP 76,000, Attack 1600."

This was just a small monster, and fighting it was truly difficult.

The three melee fighters not only had to deal with these three level 40-plus monsters but also fend off wave after wave of monster assaults.

Without various buffs, these teammates would likely be finished.

"High-level monsters are great!"

At least, the experience gain would be very fast.

Xiao Chen first summoned Xiao Qiang:

"Xiao Qiang, just stand behind Wang Zhen and attack."

With all the buffs, Xiao Qiang's strength was quite impressive.

With three Tanks in front, it wasn't easy for him to die.

Even if he did, it wasn't a big deal; he could be summoned again in an hour.

"Damn, Captain, your skeleton has gotten a lot stronger."

"Isn't getting stronger expected? Wang Zhen, watch your back."

"Damn, sneak attack on me."

As they spoke, Wang Zhen was hit on the head, losing a third of his HP.

"Focus on fighting, no talking!"

Xiao Chen's output was higher, but he couldn't immediately turn the tide.

He unleashed the Fivefold Shot, combined with the Armor-Piercing Arrow effect, and the output was quite impressive.

"-9268"

"Experience +160 (+40)"

This output amazed the team members.

"Captain, how did you improve so much in half a year?"

"Damn, sneak attack on me again."

Xiao Chen was speechless; could they focus on killing monsters first?

However, his output was indeed much stronger than the others, about half as much again.

"I used a skill book, nothing else."

Xiao Chen found a spot further back and aimed at five monsters above level 40.

Without a defense tower in the middle, Xiao Chen could serve as a small defense tower.

Once he stabilized his output, the effect was satisfactory.

Because of his presence, the defensive pressure within dozens of meters around him was significantly reduced.

"Every attack comes with an experience bonus, and this growth rate is faster than clearing level four dungeons."

Not only was the experience growth fast, but his contribution points were also rising rapidly.

"Maybe, in a few months, I'll have enough contribution points to buy a skill book."

Xiao Qiang tirelessly attacked, occasionally summoning a group of small skeletons.

The mana recovery speed within the territory was fast, so Xiao Chen wasn't affected much, but it greatly improved Xiao Qiang's efficiency in summoning clones.

While clearing small monsters, Xiao Chen occasionally crafted a magic grenade by hand.

"Ding, you killed an Abyssal Serpent, Kill +1, Serpent Gall +1, Copper Coins +200."

The drops were quite good, even yielding black iron-grade materials.

A serpent gall could sell for 500 copper coins!

"Ding, you've received team-distributed gold coins +100."

The guild's city defense reward arrived, a generous reward.

Xiao Chen immediately bought 100 ordinary Undying Crystal Cores and had Xiao Qiang fuse them.

"HP +100, Defense +20"

"HP +80, Defense +10"

Initially, each crystal stone increased HP quite steadily.

Later, the improvement decreased.

After consuming 90 cores, ordinary crystal cores became useless.

To improve further, black iron-grade crystal cores were needed.

Black iron-grade Undying Crystal Cores were very expensive, and he couldn't afford them now.

After fusing 90 Undying Crystal Cores, Xiao Qiang's strength improved significantly.

[Undead Skeleton, Grade: Black Iron, Level: 36

HP: 9800 Attack: 621 Defense: 250

Skill: Summon]

With all the buffs, Xiao Qiang's HP reached 13,000, and his attack exceeded 1,000.

With three Tanks in front and three healers watching, Xiao Qiang didn't die once, becoming a very stable source of output.

The small skeletons had 20% of Xiao Qiang's attributes, and together they could help absorb some damage.
