Qin Feng felt extremely exhausted. This was his first time commanding so many people in battle, and he hadn't expected the physical toll to be so high. Through this battle, he understood the importance of physique.
To avoid such after-effects in future battles, he had to strengthen his physique. Otherwise, if he encountered difficult monsters or enemies again, he would be powerless. Since this battle was won and he had gained many benefits, he needed to replenish himself properly.
He glanced at Ye Shen beside him and asked, "I killed a Dominator-level monster. What did everyone say in the regional chat? Did that Cheng Yezi know we weren't dead? Did he say anything? The commotion from our battle was too great. If they want to find us, it will be very easy. I'm very weak now, and it would be dangerous if they found me."
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Ye Shen suddenly realized. She patted her head and said, "Oh no, I forgot! I was so caught up in the victory that I planned to pick out some equipment for myself in the shop to increase my combat power. I didn't check what everyone was saying in the regional chat."
After speaking, she saw Qin Feng's displeased expression and quickly shifted the blame, "Actually, it's all your fault. You fainted, leaving me completely flustered. I wasn't just looking for equipment to enhance myself in the shop, but also for medicine to save you. I spent 500 jin to buy Soul Returning Incense. You shouldn't be ungrateful."
Qin Feng was speechless. If she had bought medicine to treat injuries, it would have been understandable. Spending 500 gold on such a useless item struck him as rather amusing.
The only effect of the Soul Returning Incense was to awaken those who were not dead; it had no effect in treating illnesses. It was completely useless.
However, no matter what, he had been awakened by her, and she had indeed spent 500 gold. He couldn't say much more. He could only immerse himself in the regional chat panel in his mind and see what everyone was saying. After all, killing a Dominator-level monster was a sensational event.
As soon as he entered the regional chat panel, a line of prompts appeared before his eyes.
【Ding...】
【The regional rankings have changed. The current rankings are as follows.】
【Region 477 Level Rankings, Top 100 are as follows!】

Seeing the significant increase in his and Ye Shen's levels, Qin Feng was very happy.
Killing a Dominator-level monster brought many benefits, and a substantial level increase was one of them.
As long as they reached level 50 within the top 100, they would receive a golden treasure chest.
They were now getting closer to their goal. Seeing his level increase significantly, the people from the Peace Alliance should have been furious. They should have been eager to kill him, especially seeing his greatly increased level. Those envious monsters would definitely not let him go.
However, when Qin Feng scrolled down the chat, he found that hardly anyone was speaking.
The few people who were speaking were all shouting for help.
"Heavens! I'm at coordinates 157, 177. I've encountered a monster swarm here, and my brothers and I are trapped. These monsters are cunning, and each one seems to possess special abilities. Some can breathe fire, some can spray water, and some can fly. There are dozens of them, and we can't break through their encirclement. Several brothers have already died. Brothers nearby, please come and help us. We are all members of the Peace Alliance, you can't just stand by and watch! These monsters look very strange, they are likely mutated monsters. Killing them can earn reputation. Everyone, please come and help us!"
"Help! I'm at coordinates 188, 192. We've encountered Commander-level monsters. There are five Commander-level monsters gathered together, and our team has been surrounded. I beg the great Gui Tianya to send some people to save us. Our team cannot fight five Commander-level monsters simultaneously. Even one Commander-level monster would force us to flee, but now our escape routes are blocked. If you don't come, we're dead!"
"Help! I encountered a Dominator-level monster at coordinates 133, 186. Its speed is as fast as a ghost's. We can't even see its form clearly. Several brothers have already fallen. Every move it makes results in a brother's death. Our team of a hundred people has already suffered half casualties. If you don't come to save us, we're doomed. Great Gui Tianya, if it were you, you could definitely defeat this Dominator-level monster. It's bound to drop a lot of treasures. Please hurry!"
"What are you guys shouting about? Where do we have the time to save you? The headquarters of our Peace Alliance is also under massive monster attack. We have all the monsters you're talking about here. There are over a dozen Dominator-level monsters, flying monsters, and ranged attack monsters. We've already suffered heavy casualties. Forget about going out to save you, we can't even fly out now. We're completely surrounded by monster swarms!"
"Damn it. I haven't seen any monsters for days, and now they've all rushed out at the same time, as if organized. They've surrounded us tightly and are constantly ambushing us with ranged attacks, causing heavy casualties. Have these guys evolved intelligence? Their wisdom seems no less than ours. What's going on?"
"Are we all going to die here?"
"Everyone, don't lose heart. With great figures like Gui Tianya fighting, I believe we can get out safely. Although the monsters are numerous, as long as we concentrate our forces, we can break through from one point. While we are facing an unprecedented crisis, we also have an unprecedented opportunity. Each of these monsters can bring us experience and money, especially the Dominator-level monsters, which can yield unimaginable items. Don't you want to be superior to others? Now is the chance!"
"Go to hell with your bullshit! Even if we kill these monsters and get a lot of money, what's the use? If we don't have our lives to spend it, why would we kill so many monsters? We can kill ordinary monsters, but how can we kill Commander-level or even Dominator-level monsters? We die just by seeing them. Their strength is too terrifying; we can't resist them at all."
"That's right. These guys seem to know formations too. The strongest defensively are at the front, while those with weaker defense but strong offense are in the back, constantly unleashing ranged attacks, causing us heavy casualties. With such tacit cooperation, we can't hold on. Soon, we will all die here."
"I really regret it. Why did I join the Peace Alliance? If I hadn't joined you, I could have survived in this world alone. Damn it, I really regret it!"
