“Crystal Weaving Flying Claw.” Standing halfway up a mountain peak, Liang Chuyin quietly said as she looked at a mutated creature resting in the distance.
Right now, there was a day and a half left until the end of the entire novice battlefield.
The calmness at this stage felt unsettling.
Everyone knew that with such a peaceful conclusion, it would be nearly impossible to secure the final ranking based solely on the points acquired from hunting.
Killing opponents would yield everything.
This was the common thought among them.
Thus, at this time, choosing to hunt a powerful monster was not a very wise decision.
Normally, this should be the strongest lifeform in Zone 95, or even among the top in the entire hundred zones, and it would not be expected for a novice like fuleira to take an interest in it. But unexpectedly, Liang Chuyin had set her sights on it.
This was, in fact, a move made out of necessity.
Currently, Xia Bai had the highest personal ranking at second, while the overall ranking of the Star-Eye Clan was worse, sitting at third, trailing behind the Hall People and the Lena People.
According to the current trend, if they continued to hunt in the previous manner, Xia Bai still had a chance to secure the personal first, but the Star-Eye Clan absolutely could not hope for the top rank in race points.
Yes, it could be said that on the last day, everyone would fight hard for it, and whoever won would naturally gain everything. But what if... they didn’t fight? Or, what if the major forces ended up clashing with each other?
Liang Chuyin and the others did not have a god's-eye view and were not certain about who would come after them or what kind of situation they would face. Their orders were simply to take first place, so they had to avoid any situation where they couldn’t claim that position.
The Crystal Weaving Flying Claw was too strong, with a point value of thirteen thousand. If they could deliver the final kill to Xia Bai, then Xia Bai would leap to the top of the personal leaderboard, widening the gap with the second place. The total points for the Star-Eye Clan would also rise to second place, making the gap with first place extremely small.
At that point, even if those others didn’t come around, the Cloud Summit would have a chance to overtake.
This was the motivation behind Liang Chuyin's decision to take on this giant.
Although there were opposing voices among the other members of the Cloud Summit faction, once Zhang Jia and a few from the Su Clan agreed, they fell silent.
The strategy they proposed, if executed smoothly, had a good chance of succeeding.
“Let’s begin.” Liang Chuyin said and was the first to charge down the slope.
The moment a living being entered its territory, the Crystal Weaving Flying Claw, which had been sleeping, opened its six pairs of compound eyes.
Some things, small like kittens or puppies in its eyes, appeared around it, making it very displeased, feeling offended.
It stood up, its two massive crystal tails raised high, while one of its front claws stomped fiercely on the ground, creating a thunderous sound.
This was a common form of intimidation against enemies.
However, this time, after the Crystal Weaving Flying Claw completed its display, four stone pillars suddenly rose from all four directions around it, instantly surpassing its height. Each pillar was topped with a Brilliant Pearl, and before it could comprehend what was happening, the pearls emitted light, connecting with each other and forming an energy barrier several meters above its head.
Its two crystal tails were pushed to the side by a force, and when it tried to raise them again, it found it couldn't break through the barrier, leaving them slanted behind.
The name Crystal Weaving Flying Claw implied it could fly, but once the barrier appeared, it was instantly trapped on the ground, causing its combat ability to plummet significantly.
The formation of the Su Clan played a crucial role in the strategic combat that followed.
