# Chapter 2428: Fierce Battle Period
Yu Gen's expression was as gloomy as water. Perhaps if they hadn't discovered Blue Star back then, and hadn't started the Blue Star Star Ruins development plan...
None of these troubles would have occurred, and Jiang Fan and Jiangnan wouldn't have shown up either!
Though it felt like a thorn in his heart, the Bose Clan wasn't about to panic.
At this moment, the Bose Clan was like someone standing on a mountain peak, looking down at those climbing the mountain.
Although the humans had displayed qualifications worthy of reaching the peak of the starry sky, they still had a long, long way to go.
What the Bose Clan truly needed to guard against were the ever-striving Silicon-Based and Dark Cosmos Entity.
But that didn't mean they would just leave the humans alone.
Dangers must always be nipped in the bud.
Once the Bose Clan succeeded, all of humanity's efforts would flow away like water, nothing but fishing with a bamboo basket.
By then, no one would be able to shake the Bose Clan's position. The Thousand Stars Era would become eternal, and the Sacred Law Council would become the Bose Clan's Sacred Law Council.
This Grand Hunt... was the key.
(￢_￢) "Heh~"
Yu Gen watched the void-broadcasted images, his gaze flickering.
Kill... kill... still not enough.
Ever since the Reaping Day began, the points of all major races had skyrocketed. As time passed, the growth showed no sign of slowing down.
One day, two days. A large number of racial contestants were eliminated during this period. The lucky ones managed to save their lives, but most were buried in the Chuangjie Daxu.
No one held back. If they could kill, they would. The more strong opponents they killed, the less pressure they would face in the subsequent Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle.
During this period, all contestants of many sequences were eliminated, completely cleared out, not a single survivor left.
They could only leave in disappointment, returning to prepare for the upcoming Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle.
Points would be settled based on the total points after the last contestant of a race left. If there was a coincidental tie, they would be ranked by the order of departure.
Due to the vast difference in racial strength, the gap in total points gradually became apparent.
The Top Ten Sequences still adopted their respective combat strategies, continuously reaping.
The total points of the Bose, Silicon-Based, and Dark Cosmos Entity led all the way, even creating a huge gap between them and the Apocalypse Race and Gamma Clan.
This was even with Du Lingyu leading people in frantic pursuit.
It was worth mentioning that the army formed by the Insect Race and Chaos Race, relying on their numerical advantage, had actually ranked ahead of the Star River Army formed by the Celestial Star Race and Stardust Clan.
There was also the reason that the Star River Army's transfer speed was too slow.
As for the Angel Race, they were relatively weak, constantly swapping the tenth position with the Hidden Spirit Clan, Metal Clan, and Parasite Entity.
As for the humans, although they were equipped with various cheats and divided into nearly fifty groups, there were too many battle groups of all sizes inside the Chuangjie Daxu, making it impossible to cover the entire territory.
Not to mention tactics like those of the Silicon-Based and Insect Race, which were almost like cheating.
Although they had performed well enough, the gap in foundation and manpower was irreparable.
As for Jiangnan, he spent the entire time shifting battlefields, sending those small fries into the two-dimensional world. Fighting didn't take much time; most of it was wasted on the road.
What surprised all the sequences was how the humans could precisely control the positions of each battle group.
What kind of detection method did they use? They were almost without error, their actions extremely purposeful.
It was by relying on such means that the humans managed to firmly bite into the top twenty.
Two and a half days after the Cosmos Grand Hunt began, the growth of points for all major races slowed down.
The sequences ranked below five thousand were almost all eliminated, their contestants turned into points.
Even those within the top five thousand were also cleaned out quite a bit.
After two to three days of reaping, some sequences of similar strength encountered each other during battle, reached cooperation, and formed group armies.
During this Reaping Day period, the group armies also grew like snowballs. Of course, there were also cases where group armies erupted into civil war, reaping points from each other.
After all, during the Grand Hunt, all races were competitors, with no trust at all. No matter what happened, it wouldn't be too much.
But compared to the great melee during Reaping Day, the situation in the Grand Hunt gradually became much clearer.
The major sequences still harvested points as they pleased, while the lower sequences formed dozens of large-scale group armies to deal with the major races' harvesting and to fight against other group armies.
Overall, it was still a state of big fish eating small fish. If one chose to go solo at this time, unless they had corresponding strength,
otherwise they would either be killed by a major race or be devoured and digested by a group army.
Yang Jian's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
"Has Reaping Day finally ended? Less than three days? Everyone attacked too fiercely!"
Everyone looked toward the point rankings on both sides of Julang Cheng. After Reaping Day ended, the latest rankings on the board.
[To avoid padding word count, points after ten thousand are omitted, but they are actually shown on the board]
1• Silicon-Based: 4,010,000
2• Bose Clan: 4,000,000
3• Dark Cosmos Entity: 3,870,000
4• Apocalypse Race: 2,010,000
5• Gamma Clan: 1,990,000
6• Insect Race: 1,880,000
7• Chaos Race: 1,880,000
8• Stardust Clan: 1,640,000
9• Celestial Star Race: 1,640,000
10• Hidden Spirit Clan: 1,500,000
11• Angel Race: 1,470,000
...
15• Human Race: 1,390,000
Yang Jian propped his chin and smiled bitterly: "Rank 15? That's all we can manage. There's nothing we can do about it."
"The three giants, Bose Clan, Silicon-Based, and Dark Cosmos Entity, are too terrifying. Total points over four million? Sigh~"
Chong Feiyu's mouth twitched:
(￢﹏￢٥) "I spit! What do you mean 'that's all we can manage'? You guys managed to reach the top fifteen of the sequences with less than four hundred people, okay?"
"It's already an incredible dark horse, okay? In the history of the Thousand Stars Era, no race has been this fierce! Two and a half days, over a million points. These guys are beasts, damn!"
Compare with the Bose Clan? No matter how terrifying the humans' mobility was, it couldn't be faster than the Bose Clan's dimension crossing, the Silicon-Based's warp speed and their large numbers, the Dark Cosmos Entity's dark matter conversion.
Being able to stay so close was already amazing, okay?
Mo Tian excitedly pointed at the Star Hunter Rankings.
"Brother Jian, don't lose heart. Many of our people are on the Star Hunter Rankings. If we count the Star Hunter points, we're still quite capable!"
The top 100 of the Star Hunter Rankings had also been released. As long as one was in the top 100, they would get point rewards.
Star Hunter Ranking:
1• Innocent: 3,440,000
2• Gang Xiu: 3,200,000
3• Ye Yuanwei: 2,800,000
4• Chong Kun Chong: 1,050,000
5• Du Lingyu: 870,000
6• Bonnie Lu: 730,000
7• Hunyuan: 690,000
8• Jiangnan: 630,000
9• Yao Gen: 610,000
10• Ye Jinse: 590,000
11• Wu Jie'er: 580,000
……
Obviously, all major races valued the point rewards of the Star Hunter Rankings very much. Almost all of them would go all out to push one leader to the top, raising his points to the highest and putting him on the list.
Chong Kun Chong, because of her numerous insect hordes, the kills made by the hordes were also counted toward her, forcing her way to the fourth position as a dark horse.
As for the top three, in order to secure their positions, they would only let more points go to their own leaders.
Jiangnan had been working nonstop for over two days, forcing his personal points up to 630,000.
Ranking eighth, the gap from the top's three million plus was not ordinary.
No way. Jiangnan had tried his best. Even though his dimensional reduction strike had explosive damage, the battle groups were scattered, and Jiangnan spent most of his time running the map.
No matter how far a warp bubble could travel, it couldn't surpass the distance of the Bose Clan's dimension crossing per unit time. Moreover, Innocent had a bunch of helpers.
This number one on the Star Hunter Rankings really wasn't that easy to reach. Innocent's points were five to six times Jiangnan's.
Even so, among the humans' 1,390,000 points, Jiangnan still accounted for nearly half.
The remaining seven to eight hundred thousand points were all earned by Lord Xiao and the little brothers, without any drop in performance.
After Reaping Day ended, those with personal points reaching over 100,000 were basically all in the top 100 list of the Star Hunter Rankings.
Among the humans, Jiangnan, Xiao Chuihuo, Yakeli, Wang Dalei, Odin, Baldr, and Mi Ye — all seven were on the list.
For the humans, this was undoubtedly good news.
Ye Xinghe clicked his tongue: "On the total race point rankings, all points added together are already close to sixty million."
"Just the points of the top ten or so sequences add up to nearly half the total. This really is a reaping day, huh?"
The strong stay strong, the weak get weaker. Breaking the deadlock and changing a race's fate isn't that easy.
This is truly a cruel and realistic rule.
Chong Feiyu looked a bit worried.
(｡･ˇ～ˇ･) "Next is the truly difficult stage. After Reaping Day ends, the competition enters the fierce battle period."
"The sequences that haven't been eliminated are all powerful existences. To resist the major races' hunting, these sequences will huddle together for warmth, forming group armies to cooperate."
"They'll fight oppression together, and group armies will also grind each other down, offsetting to gain points. The human position becomes a bit awkward."
Yang Jian frowned deeply. Group armies were often interest groups formed by dozens or even hundreds of sequences united together.
Some large group armies even had over a million members, making even the major races find them somewhat troublesome.
But the humans lacked manpower, isolated and alone. If they joined a group army, they wouldn't be able to get enough points.
If they fought alone, still using the grouping strategy, imagine: a dozen or so people facing a siege of hundreds of thousands or millions of enemies.
How the hell could they win?
After Reaping Day, those still left in the Daxu were no longer noobs.
For the powerful major races, they could easily handle this situation.
But for the humans, they would either be dragged to death by a group army or be crushed by a major race.
Neither outcome seemed very good, huh?
Chong Feiyu narrowed her eyes: "Among the top ten races now, except for the three big shots, the gap in racial points is actually not that big."
"During the fierce battle period, in order to maintain their racial point advantage, the major races will also start to clash with each other, trying to reduce the number of competitors."
Ask, what method can ensure one's racial point advantage?
That is to cripple and blow up the competitors! Reduce their efficiency in gaining points, thus ensuring one's leading position.
pS: Two rankings — no way around it, had to list them once. This makes it clearer. Used about two hundred characters. Will write more in the next chapter to make up for it, to avoid being accused of padding word count. Hmph (˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) Smart boy~
