The distribution of the Mutated Serpents in the underground snake cave was extremely dense, which made it easier for Bai and the rest to kill them. Their efficiency was much higher than when they were clearing the hornets' nests on checkpoint 56.
Although it was not as efficient as when the Combat Hornetdemons arrived, Lin Huang was earning 50 to 60 million Stairway Tree points every minute.
The next monster checkpoint after checkpoint 58 was checkpoint 61.
However, considering that the Luna Beasts on checkpoint 61 were not dense, Lin Huang did not choose to pass checkpoint 58 immediately and continue to climb up. Instead, he stayed on this checkpoint to continue killing monsters.
This time, they stayed for more than seven hours. The system did not force Lin Huang to leave even when the sky was getting dark.
Within the seven hours, Bai and the rest had killed more than 40 million Mutated Serpents. Lin Huang's Stairway Tree points had increased by more than 25 billion. However, the massive amount of spiritual energy that he had channeled into Nine-tailed Cat's God Figurine's Combat Soul did not elevate it to imperial-level purple gold-rank.
"Looking at this progress, I'm afraid I'll need up to 100 million high-level immortal-level monsters' spiritual energy to elevate my God Figurine's Combat Soul from white gold-rank to purple gold-rank." Lin Huang knew that the higher the level of the God Figurine's Combat Soul, the more spiritual energy it would need. However, the amount of spiritual energy required to elevate it to imperial-level purple gold-rank scared him. "In other words, I'll need to kill at least 900 million high-level immortal-level monsters for my nine Combat Souls. That's just the amount of spiritual energy required to elevate it from imperial-level white gold-rank to imperial-level purple gold-rank … "
Just when Lin Huang was calculating in his head, Bloody's voice came all of a sudden.
"The sky's getting dark. Should we go offline? Or should we fight the monster horde? "
"Let's stay and fight." Lin Huang lifted his head to look at the sky. Indeed, the sky was getting dark. It would probably be completely dark in less than half an hour. "We'll fight through the night and continue to climb up during the day. There's no need to stay on checkpoint 61 anymore. The Luna Beasts aren't dense there, so it's too tiring to kill them. We'll go up to checkpoint 63 in one go and then we can go offline to rest. "
"Sure!"
Bloody was fine with it as it already had imperial-level combat strength. It would not be affected even if it did not sleep for a few months. The reason why he asked was because Lin Huang had the habit of sleeping every day and rarely stayed up all night.
Lin Huang didn't like to stay up all night, mainly because when he was on Earth, his daily schedule had become a habit.
Although Lin Huang didn't like to stay up all night, it didn't matter if it was necessary. Ordinary people would only feel a little sleepy during the day after staying up all night. To an immortal-level, they might feel sleepy after not sleeping for a month. However, they would not feel anything if they stayed up for a day.
After six o 'clock in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened.
The members of the Evil Alliance who were online either went offline or returned to the station on the Stairway Tree branch.
However, Lin Huang remained on checkpoint 58 of the Stairway Tree, watching the monster horde that was gathering in Bloody's projection. He recalled all of his Monster Cards and quickly returned to the starting point on the 58th floor. He summoned all of his familiars that were good at mass-killing and waited patiently for the arrival of the Beast Tide.
When it was about 6.30 p.m., the sky finally turned completely dark.
The monster horde had finally broken out!
On checkpoint 58 of the Stairway Tree, all of the Mutated Serpents that were hiding underground during the day came out of their nests. Their target was checkpoint 55 of the Stairway Tree.
Soon, the first wave of Mutated Serpents encountered Lin Huang.
The Mutated Serpents glared at the group of people in front of them angrily. They could clearly sense that there was a human's aura that they hated among the group of people.
Sensing Lin Huang's presence, the Mutated Serpents charged at him in a frenzy.
However, before they could get close, they encountered all sorts of traps set by Ghastly.
Before any of Lin Huang's imperial monsters could attack, the Mutated Serpents were engulfed by the traps and died on the spot.
However, the Mutated Serpents were not afraid at all. Instead, they were enraged by the traps and began charging at him in a frenzy.
Although Ghastly's traps were effective, they were limited in number. Soon, they were exhausted as the Mutated Serpents charged at him.
Bai and the rest finally attacked and began the slaughter that was like a meat grinder.
The ability of the Mutated Serpents on checkpoint 58 was not more powerful than that of the Combat Hornetdemons on checkpoint 56, but they had more diverse abilities. When they encountered Bai and the rest from the Red Gold Palace, it was a one-sided slaughter.
The arrival of the monster horde caused Lin Huang's points to skyrocket again. He returned to his peak condition when he was on checkpoint 56, where his points were increasing by 300 to 400 million every minute.
"I wonder how long the Stairway Tree's system will allow me to farm this time. Looking at Bai and the rest's current killing speed, I'll have over 200 billion Stairway Tree points if I'm allowed to farm until tomorrow morning. Moreover, I should have at least three God Figurine's Combat Souls that can elevate to imperial-level purple gold-rank. I might even have four. "
Lin Huang thought to himself. However, he could faintly feel that things might not go so smoothly. After all, he had seriously affected the balance of the Stairway Tree's points system.
If the Evil Alliance allowed him to farm 200 billion points a day, it would not take him long to accumulate enough points to buy all of the god relics and god items in the Stairway Mall.
Lin Huang was almost sure that the Stairway Tree's system would definitely put a restriction on him. However, before the restriction was announced, naturally, he would farm as many points as he could. He would earn as much as he could!
With that thought in mind, Lin Huang continued to farm monsters happily.
He had no idea that apart from the Heaven Alliance, the Divine Alliance and a few other organizations on the Stairway Tree had joined hundreds of organizations to submit a restriction request to restrict Lin Xie from farming points.
The reason for the request was that even if Lin Xie did not cheat, his way of farming points had seriously affected the balance of the Stairway Tree's points system. If Lin Xie was allowed to farm hundreds of billions of points a day, it would be equivalent to him monopolizing all the resources in the Stairway Mall. It would be extremely unfair to the other members …
The joint request listed a few pieces of evidence of Lin Xie's crimes and made it sound extremely bad.
Naturally, Chan Dou from the Heaven Alliance received the news too. He submitted a counter-request in the Heaven Alliance's name, but he knew that it would not help much. This was because Lin Xie had indeed broken the balance of the Stairway Tree's system. Even if the Divine Alliance and the rest did not do anything, it would only be a matter of time before the Stairway Tree's system put a restriction on Lin Xie.
Lin Huang was farming points happily for over five hours. His Stairway Tree's points increased by over 110 billion again. The Mutated Serpents and Luna Beasts that Bai and the rest had killed in the monster horde had exceeded 200 million. The sea of spiritual energy that Lin Huang had obtained allowed him to elevate the two God Figurine's Combat Souls, Nine-tailed Cat and the Destructive Divine Mammoth, from imperial-level white gold-rank to imperial-level purple gold-rank.
However, an announcement popped up on Lin Huang's communication device all of a sudden at midnight.
"Announcement: There are two new rules in the Stairway Tree's system!
"1. The maximum points that can be obtained on each checkpoint of the Stairway Tree is 100 billion.
"Each member will pass the checkpoint automatically when the points that they have obtained on each checkpoint have reached the maximum points. They will no longer receive any rewards on that checkpoint.
"2. The maximum points that all members can obtain every day is 10 billion.
"No matter which checkpoint of the Stairway Tree you're on, no matter what method you use to obtain Stairway Tree points, you can only obtain 10 billion effective points every day. As long as you exceed the limit of 10 billion points in a day, you will no longer receive any rewards on any checkpoint of the Stairway Tree.
Lin Huang looked at his points immediately after seeing the two rules. He was a little afraid that he would only be able to keep 10 billion points that he had obtained for the day. However, he was soon relieved that there were no changes to the points that he had. Clearly, the points that he had obtained before the new rules were not affected.
