"Indeed, humanity has eliminated catastrophic creatures before, but it usually cos at a grievous cost, with about half the casualties incurred, and even then, it requires good luck, catching the catastrophic creature when it's on its last breath. As for the catastrophic boss-level beasts, that's even more unthinkable."
Li Xiaoyu's expression also grew solemn as she continued:
"Catastrophic creatures are still too far beyond our reach at present. Even though humanity once obtained a Soul Crystal from a catastrophic creature, unfortunately, according to the current pace of the Pyramid exploration, it will be decades, even nearly a hundred years before that Soul Crystal can be used as a key.
Thus, that Soul Crystal was repurposed for another cause, as an energy reserve for fortresses."
"Even the disaster-grade creatures are quite challenging for humans at present. Hundreds of elite teams might not be enough to hunt disaster-grade creatures, let alone boss-level beasts. Compared to reinforced creatures, elite creatures, and perfect creatures, disaster and catastrophic creatures have stats that are not even on the sa scale."
"It's as if there are many interdiary levels missing between them, and they suddenly beco powerful. To progress from the sixth to the seventh layer, a hundred perfect-grade boss creature Soul Crystals are needed. To go from the seventh to the eighth layer, twenty disaster-grade boss creature Soul Crystals are required."
"The Li family's ancestor reached the fifth layer in the past, and to go to the sixth layer he had to eradicate a hundred perfect-grade creatures. The exploration of the sixth layer took only twenty-two years."
"To progress from the sixth to the seventh layer requires a hundred perfect-grade boss creatures. Although they are also perfect-grade, the bosses have all their physical abilities enhanced and they possess terrifying special abilities, which took seventy-four years."
"And from the seventh layer to the eighth layer, we have been exploring for nearly a hundred years now, but it still hasn't been completed."
"Among the few fortresses that have unlocked the seventh layer, the Li family is still short of two disaster-grade boss creature Soul Crystals, while Lincoln Fortress in the United States is only short of one. As for the other fortresses, they are all around fifteen Soul Crystals short."
Li Xiaoyu spoke earnestly: "We need to get there before them. Be the first to master the scientific and technological knowledge that can be gained from unlocking the eighth layer. Dongying has already begun to apply for secession from the federal system, and many small countries are restless, so there may be a return to the era of independent states.
Therefore, my father and brother hope to raise the strength of all Huaxia's fortresses to a new level before that era arrives."
Tang Xian had begun to understand, saying, "Is that why you've been planning to get married recently?"
"Yes," replied Li Xiaoyu, her gaze slightly cold.
"To whom? Akasi?"
"No, to the Song Family of Fortress No. 1, who command several hidden and powerful Hunter's Groups. Those old fools in the family are using to trade for control of these Hunter's Groups, planning a large-scale mining area warfare in the short term to slay disaster-grade boss-level beasts."
Sorting out his thoughts, Tang Xian had figured out the information Li Xiaoyu had given him that day.
Only by completing the quests can new levels be unlocked. Although a hundred elite creatures and a hundred perfect creatures seem easy today, rely the trade volu of all hunters from the Huaxia fortresses in one or two months,
this is all because of the hunter's current understanding of the mining areas.
The sacrifice of countless ancestors and countless bones has enriched the mining areas' survival knowledge for future generations, let alone each fortress's progress being asured separately. So, the centuries of exploration have been very protracted, even if those tasks seem easy today.
However, the quests for unlocking the latest levels remain extrely difficult for humanity.
The Li family commands Fortress No. 39, as well as Lincoln Fortress, which is far off on the North Arican Continent.
After nearly a century of ti, both fortresses are on the verge of unlocking the eighth layer, and it's a race to see who completes the last kill first.
But whether it's the Li family or anyone else attempting to kill a disaster-grade boss, it requires trendous strength and a sufficient amount of luck.
Tang Xian furrowed his brow and said:
"You're not expecting to kill two disaster-grade bosses for you, are you?"
