《Monsters Descend: I Can Summon Pets Unlimitedly》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Year 2288. The 1st of June. Ye Chen¡¯s transmigrated to this parallel world that was 99% similar to the Blue Star. However, it was 200 years in the future. The mobile phone he carried with him also had additional software installed, called ¡°Monster Chat Group¡±. This was a group chat AI that could be added to other chat groups. Ye Chen was very curious and created a chat group to play for a while. This game rewarded a pet when the user signed in. Then, every half an hour, a monster would invade the group. He only needed to use the pet to attack the monster and kill it to obtain experience. He killed monsters every day and leveled up. Later on, Ye Chen became busy as he had to look for a job and ignored it. In the end, he shared the software in some other chat groups. It was better to share happiness with others than to play alone. During this period of time, the monster chat group swept through the world like the strongest digital virus and infiltrated all the other chat groups. A quantitative change caused a qualitative change. Year 2288. The 10th of June. 11 a.m. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky above the world. At this moment, the sun and moon were in the sky, and thousands of stars flickered, as if it was the end of the world. A voice that seemed to have existed since ancient times sounded in everyone¡¯s minds. ¡°Warning! Warning! Warning!¡± ¡°The Monster Chat Group has been officially activated. The chat group exists in the void. You can open it with your thoughts.¡± ¡°In five minutes, all men and women between the ages of 18 and 40 will enter the monster chat group.¡± ¡°The Monster Chat Group has a built-in monster system. Monsters will spawn in the real world every hour.¡± ¡°The members of the chat group can summon pets and then manifest them in the real world to fight the monsters that have invaded the world.¡± ¡°Note: Every member only has ten chances to summon a pet. Once bound, it cannot be changed.¡± ¡°Note: When the pet dies, the Master will die. When the pet is upgraded, the Master will also level up.¡± ¡°Note: Divine Weapon Shop, Medicinal Pill Shop, Item Shop, and other shops will be opened.¡± ¡°Note: The conditions for the dungeon mystic realm have not been met. It has not been opened yet.¡± ¡°Note: Pet Ranking has not been activated.¡± ¡°Note: Existing weapons in the world are useless against monsters. Only equipment dropped by monsters will be effective.¡± ¡­ ¡°Please read the details in the monster chat group.¡± ¡°Good luck.¡± ¡°You can enter the monster chat group in five minutes.¡± ¡°An hour later, monsters will invade the world.¡± ¡­ The voice stopped abruptly. The 20 billion people around the world were stunned and at a loss. Monster Chat Group? What was this? A moment later. All the men and women between the ages of 18 and 40 reacted and became uneasy. ¡°Monsters will descend to the world to invade us. Hahaha¡­ I¡¯m an ambitious and ruthless person. I¡¯ll definitely rise and stand at the top of the world.¡± ¡°Please let the monsters descend quickly! Destroy this world. I want to become the representative of the monsters and help them attack humans.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already given up on this world. From now on, I¡¯ll sacrifice my soul to the monsters to become stronger.¡± ¡°Does the country not care about us? Are they going to establish some special organization? What will happen to ordinary people if we are attacked by monsters?¡± ¡­ There was not much time left in the world. Only an hour. Everyone made preparations to fight. They stocked up on food and vegetables and went home to lock the doors and windows. The unknown was often the most terrifying. Existing weapons, including daggers, swords, pistols, cannons, and so on, were ineffective against monsters. This made everyone in the world on tenterhooks and too scared to go out. Many opportunists immediately joined forces and began to cause trouble. Burn, kill, and plunder. The world was in chaos. ¡­ Zheng City. In a rental house in a civilian district. After Ye Chen transmigrated, he was really not used to the lifestyle here, so he could not find a job and could only deliver food. Fortunately, takeout had not disappeared from this world. After working for half a day, he was almost as tired as a dog. A few clients even complained about him, making him so angry that he wanted to go crazy. He had just laid down and was about to rest for a while when he was told that monsters had invaded the world. F*ck. Could it be any worse? Other transmigrators had golden fingers, but he had nothing. He could be said to be the most miserable person in history. ¡°Why does it feel like a game I¡¯ve played?¡± It was only now that Ye Chen remembered the Monster Chat Group. He quickly opened his phone and found the software for the Monster Chat Group from a game folder. He clicked on it. The software automatically disappeared. Before Ye Chen could react, he saw a small elf doll appear in the air. It was about 30 centimeters tall and looked very much like an emergency food item. ¡°Divine Pet Cultivation System activated. Binding to the host¡­ Binding successful. Reward: Beginner¡¯s Gift Bag.¡± ¡°System?¡± Ye Chen jumped up and immediately became energetic. ¡°What functions do you have? Quickly introduce yourself.¡± ¡°This System and the Monster System complement each other. The Monster System will spawn millions of monsters every day. This System only serves the host alone and can help you evolve your pets.¡± For example, others can only have one pet in their lifetime, while the host can have countless pets. The premise is that you can live to the end.¡± ¡°The System also has its own trading hall. After killing the monsters, you can obtain points to exchange for goods.¡± ¡°The members of the Monster Chat Group can¡¯t grow on their own. They can only rely on the abilities of their pets. It¡¯s different for the host. Even if you don¡¯t have a pet, you can become very strong yourself. It won¡¯t be a problem for you to hunt monsters alone.¡± ¡°Please experience more system functions slowly.¡± ¡°Monster Chat Group countdown has begun. I¡¯ll leave first!¡± The System elf entered Ye Chen¡¯s sea of consciousness and disappeared. In the future, he only needed to call out to it silently to communicate with it in his mind. ¡°Come quickly!¡± Ye Chen looked forward to it. Not long after. Another voice sounded in the sky above the world. ¡°Monster Chat Group initiating in¡­¡± ¡°Three.¡± ¡°Two.¡± ¡°One.¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Is this the chat group? There are so many people!¡± ¡°How strange. I can actually read all your messages in a few seconds.¡± ¡°I can read through thousands of them at a go.¡± ¡°How magical! It feels so miraculous.¡± ¡­ Ye Chen¡¯s vision darkened as his consciousness was pulled into a virtual chat group. Monster Chat Group No. 999. Each chat group could accommodate a maximum of 2,000 people. In a few seconds, the group was full. In this group, he only needed to think of the words and they would appear on the screen. It was very fast. Moreover, when he browsed through the group messages, he could see every message with just a glance. It was very magical. Everyone¡¯s uneasy emotions gradually calmed down. Ever since they knew that they might obtain powerful pets and become experts of the human race, their fearful hearts gradually became complicated. Ye Chen did not start chatting. Instead, he quickly read the information in the group chat. He finished reading in about a minute. Mental transmission speed was fast. He came to one conclusion: This was an era where humans, monsters, and pets coexisted. Everyone had ten chances to summon a pet in the chat group. If you are not satisfied with the first pet, after giving up, you can summon the second one, so on and so forth, until you find a pet to bind with. In other words. Depending on one¡¯s luck, the 10th pet might be the most trashy or the strongest. This was unknown. Just like Schr?dinger¡¯s cat. Fortunately, he could bind countless pets. This was the advantage of having a system. Whoosh! Transmigrators were so cool. Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He did not feel nervous at all. ¡°When are we going to start summoning pets? I can¡¯t wait.¡± ¡°Hurry up and start! I want to summon a divine-level pet, hahaha¡­¡± ¡°The starting point of a pet is very important. There are good and bad pets. Everyone, good luck! To be honest, I¡¯m the 76th generation successor of the Dao Talisman Sect. I have some ancestral lucky talismans with me. It¡¯s only 10,000 yuan per piece. Does anyone want it?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The chat group became lively again. Ye Chen scoffed at this. If he had a lucky talisman, why wouldn¡¯t he use it himself? Would he still sell it for money? Scammers were really pervasive. Pets were classified into a total of nine grades: Ordinary, Elite, Rare, Legendary, Mythic, Supreme, Sage, Immortal Beast, and Creation. The higher the level, the stronger the foundation. ¡°The Monster Chat Group is now completely activated. Now, please change your real name.¡± ¡°The 60-second countdown has ended. Those who don¡¯t change their names will be directly killed.¡± ¡°The 60-second countdown has ended. Members, please summon your pets and start choosing your own pets!¡± ¡°59!¡± ¡°58!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°One.¡± After Ye Chen changed his name, he began to summon his pets. Every draw was accompanied by rays of light. More messages appeared in the chat group, instantly reaching tens of thousands. There was a small picture on each message with the details of the pets. ¡°Congratulations, Ye Chen, you have obtained the pet [Lightning Cat]. Do you want to bind it?¡± [Lightning Cat] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Skill: Lightning Shock Attributes: Lightning Grade: Legendary (Grade 4) Talent: Unawakened Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 10 Health: 100 ¡°Give up!¡± Ye Chen looked at this pet. It was only at the Legendary level. Pets had a total of four chances to evolve. Once at level 20, once at level 50, once at level 90, and once at level 120. The stronger the basic attributes, the better it was for evolution. Since he did not get a good pet this time, Ye Chen placed his hopes on later. There were many people who had the same thoughts as him. Basically, the pets they drew for the first time were all at the Elite, Rare, or Legendary level. There were very few above the Legendary realm. Everyone was indignant and wanted to draw higher-level pets. After all, the pet would accompany them for the rest of their life. They had to choose carefully. Ye Chen was not in a hurry to continue drawing. Instead, he browsed through other people¡¯s pets. ¡°There are so many types of pets! There are probably hundreds of them.¡± ¡°Sky Dog Swordsman? Why is it a mechanical chicken wearing a helmet and holding a sword?¡± ¡°Succubus Girl? Legendary level. This is not bad. She looks like a human girl. She¡¯s about 1.5 meters tall and has a venom-tipped tail. She¡¯s really beautiful.¡± ¡°Red-furred Chicken? What the hell is this? It¡¯s metal attribute and a Legendary grade. Is this a little chicken raised by humans? No, it¡¯s covered in golden light.¡± ¡°Little White Fox? That¡¯s fine too. It has three tails, a rare grade, and its attribute is water. It looks like a nine-tailed fox doll. Its big eyes are really beautiful.¡± ¡°White-furred Lazy Sloth, this is a sloth. Earth attribute, wearing a white bamboo hat. Elite grade, not bad.¡± ¡­ Ye Chen used his will to check the messages in the group and realized that most of them were high-quality or legendary pets. Very few people directly bound to it and chose to draw again. ¡®Hm?¡¯ Ye Chen continued to watch. ¡°Standing Chicken, Fire attribute, Elite grade.¡± ¡°Plate Shell, water attribute, Ordinary grade. It¡¯s the combination of a turtle and a snail. It¡¯s simply trash among trash.¡± ¡°Fluffy? This is a golden slime, Elite grade, wind attribute.¡± ¡°Golden Vine Baby, wood attribute, Elite grade. This is a pet cat, but it¡¯s very powerful.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ye Chen read the news very quickly. Until now, he had not discovered a very powerful pet. ¡°Huh?¡± Just as he was sighing, he suddenly saw a photo appear. ¡°Dark Night Emissary, dark attribute, Mythic level. This is a long-tailed cat. Its entire body is purple, and its pupils emit a golden light. This is not bad.¡± Mythic grade pets were already very rare. ¡°Forget it!¡± He shook his head. He definitely could not rely on his luck alone. He remembered that the System had given him a Beginner¡¯s Gift Bag. He wondered what was inside. ¡°Open the Beginner¡¯s Gift Bag.¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Monster Critical Hit Card x5] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Good Luck Card x2] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Pet Marrow Cleansing Pill x3] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Pet Nest x3] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Body Tempering Pill x1] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Beast Taming Technique¡¯s introductory chapter x1] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Thunderbolt Saber x1] Ye Chen was overjoyed. Good luck card? The System even rewarded him with this thing. Could it be that the Good Luck Card was really useful? If that was the case, should he buy some lucky charms from the 76th successor of the Dao Talisman Sect? [Ding] [Successfully used the Good Luck Card.] ¡°Summon Pet!¡± ¡°Congratulations, Ye Chen, you have drawn a Thousand-Year Fox. Do you want to bind it?¡± [Thousand-Year Fox] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Wind Blade Attributes: Wind Grade: Mythic (Grade 5) Talent: Unawakened Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 300 Health: 3,000 ¡°Give up!¡± Ye Chen shook his head and sighed. The Good Luck Card didn¡¯t seem like much. He actually drew a male pet. This was a fox with a human face and a human body. It only had a pair of fox ears. He was handsome too. It was precisely because of this that Ye Chen was not interested. This would cover his handsomeness. [Ding] [Successfully used the Good Luck Card.] ¡°Summon pet.¡± ¡°Congratulations, Ye Chen, for obtaining the Alchemist. Do you want to bind it?¡± [Alchemist] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Fire Strike Attributes: Fire Level: Supreme (Grade 6) Talent: Miracle Hand (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 500 Health: 5,000 Wow! Ye Chen¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. This was a purple-haired girl. She was wearing a fiery red short skirt and black stockings. It was heart-throbbing. Most importantly, she had already awakened her innate talent, the Miracle Hand Conference. This meant that Ye Chen had a free healer. If he was injured by a monster, his safety would be greatly increased. ¡°System!¡± ¡°If I bind this Alchemist pet, can I still draw a new pet?¡± ¡°The host can bind unlimited pets. In the early stages, you can only bind 10 pets. Every pet needs to be paired with a pet nest. If the pet nest is full, you will not be able to continue binding new pets.¡± ¡°In other words, with my three pet nests now, I can only bind three pets.¡± ¡°Host is right. After you kill the monsters, you can exchange for new pet nests.¡± ¡°Note: The pet nest can be upgraded. At the highest level, a pet nest can accommodate up to 100 pets.¡± I see. Ye Chen nodded and pondered for a moment before replying, ¡°Bind the Alchemist.¡± ¡°System! Use the pet nest. I want to continue summoning pets.¡± ¡°What a pity! The Good Luck Card is gone.¡± ¡°Summon pet.¡± ¡­ After five draws in a row, Ye Chen did not get a better pet. Until the eighth time. ¡°Congratulations, Ye Chen, for obtaining the Dark Concubine. Do you want to bind it?¡± [Dark Concubine] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Slash Attributes: Gold Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Sword Manipulation Technique (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 600 Health: 6,000 ¡°Binding, binding.¡± Ye Chen¡¯s face revealed joy. This was a young girl wearing a tight black leather coat. She held a sword with both hands and had a ponytail. There was a lightning mark between her brows. When she grinned, there were four tiger teeth that shone. ¡°Use the pet nest.¡± ¡°Continue summoning pets.¡± ¡°Congratulations, Ye Chen, for obtaining the Blood Asura. Do you want to bind it?¡± [Blood Asura] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Level: Supreme (Grade 6) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 500 Health: 5,000 This was a female Asura. She was tall and charming. Her entire body emitted a bloodthirsty violence that made one¡¯s blood boil. ¡°Bind!¡± In any case, he could bind countless pets. Ye Chen stopped summoning. In any case, these three pets were enough. However¡­ In the monster chat group, Ye Chen¡¯s message only showed that he was bound to the Alchemist. When he summoned his pets later, they were all covered by the System Spirit, and no one knew. ¡°Oh my god!¡± ¡°Sixth Grade Supreme, this Ye Chen is really lucky!¡± ¡°To be honest, friends, Ye Chen just bought a lucky talisman from me, so he summoned a Grade 6 pet. 10,000 yuan for one. There¡¯s a limit to the stock.¡± ¡°There¡¯s someone called Xiao Fan who¡¯s even stronger. He summoned a Grade 7 pet.¡± ¡°The strongest pet in our group seems to be only at the Seventh Grade. I wonder what the Eighth and Ninth Grade are like. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrified.¡± ¡­ Ye Chen also browsed through all the news with his mind and realized that everyone had all kinds of pets. Moreover, there were many unlucky people who only obtained Grade 2 pets after drawing 10 times. There were even some who were even more miserable. They only had Ordinary Grade 1 pets. They were really unlucky. There were also people who knew when to stop and directly bound themselves to a Grade 5 pet. There were many such people. While the others were still summoning their pets, Ye Chen began to communicate with them. In the real world. He exited the monster chat group with his mind and saw a light flash in front of him. The Alchemist appeared. This was a purple-haired girl. She was only about 1.5 meters tall and wore a red dress and black stockings. She was incomparably beautiful. ¡°Master!¡± She could not speak clearly and stuttered a little. Because she was still in her infancy, her intelligence was not high, and she could only communicate simply. Her voice was soft and pleasant, making one¡¯s bones tingle. It was really not bad. Ye Chen circled her twice, very satisfied. Just as he was about to communicate with the Alchemist, another voice sounded in the sky. ¡°Monsters will descend in 20 minutes. Please be prepared globally¡­¡± ¡°Monsters appear randomly everywhere in the world. They might be in your home or in your bed¡­¡± ¡°Warriors with pets, use your pets to protect this world!¡± ¡°Warm reminder: The Monster Mystic Realm will open in three days.¡± ¡°Enjoy the killing!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Only 20 minutes. Ye Chen quickly gave the Alchemist a Marrow Cleansing Pill to increase her strength. Then, he gave Blood Asura and Dark Concubine some pills as well. All three pets increased by one grade. [Alchemist] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Fire Strike Attributes: Fire Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Miracle Hand (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 600 Health: 6,000 [Blood Asura] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 600 Health: 6,000 [Dark Concubine] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Slash Attributes: Gold Level: Immortal Beast (Grade 8) Talent: Sword Manipulation Technique (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 700 Health: 7,000 Although it was only an increase of one level, there was a huge difference. This was considered a foundation stage. As long as their level increased, their attribute points would increase exponentially. Now, there was only a 100 combat strength difference between the Eighth and Seventh Grade. After reaching Level 10, it might be a difference of 1,000 points in attack. The difference was quite huge. Cultivating the Pet Taming Technique. Consuming the Body Tempering Pill. Whoosh! Whoosh! Ye Chen had bound three pets. Pets could also provide feedback to their owners. His body had already surpassed that of an ordinary person. Now that he took the Body Tempering Pill, his body changed even more. He even felt that he could fight a monster alone. Clang! The Thunderbolt Saber appeared. This was a 1.34-meter-long wide saber with a trace of lightning surrounding it. This saber belonged to the lightning attribute. Ye Chen could use it, and he could also let the Blood Asura or the Dark Concubine use it to increase their strength. The Thunderbolt Saber could be stored in the System Space and taken out at any time. It was very convenient. ¡°Fortunately, I don¡¯t have any relatives after transmigrating. Otherwise, I would have to go back and protect them.¡± ¡°Transmigration comes with a system and no attachments. It¡¯s just great.¡± Ye Chen lay on the bed and let the Alchemist go back to rest before summoning the Blood Asura. This was a tall Asura. Her red hair was like blood. Her intelligence was not high either. She stood by the bed unarmed. Her soft armor was also blood-red. ¡°Now, I¡¯m looking forward to the arrival of the monsters. I want to see how they level up after killing the monsters, how items drop, and if they drop money.¡± Although the Monster Chat Group had invaded the world, the humans still needed to continue living. Ye Chen was so poor that his rent was about to expire. If he did not earn money, he would be chased out by the black-hearted landlord. Time passed minute by minute. Soon, 20 minutes passed. Another voice came from the sky. ¡°Countdown to the monster invasion of the chat group.¡± ¡°3!¡± ¡°2!¡± ¡°1!¡± ¡­ The moment the voice stopped. Ye Chen suddenly sat up. Because in his bedroom, a monster suddenly appeared. Holy shit. He screamed in fear and even forgot to attack. A two-meter-tall skeleton monster appeared, wearing a tattered gray robe. It was holding five poker cards in its hand. The moment it saw Ye Chen, it let out a long cry. Ah! Ye Chen let out a painful shout and hurriedly covered his ears. At the same time, with a thought, Blood Asura, Alchemist, and Dark Concubine appeared. Ye Chen also gave the Thunderclap Saber to the Blood Asura. She was tall and strong. The saber slashed down and landed on the skeleton demon. Ding! Ding! The skeleton demon¡¯s bones were very hard. When the Thunderclap Saber slashed on it, it actually produced a string of sparks. It was not that the saber was not strong, but that the Blood Asura¡¯s combat strength was too weak. Ye Chen had taken a Body Tempering Pill before, and his body was very strong. When the skeleton demon stopped roaring, he sobered up, as though he had woken from a dream and forced himself to calm down. Anyone who saw a monster for the first time would not be calm. As he looked at the skeleton monster, a virtual box appeared in his eyes. There was basic information about the monster on it. [Skeleton Warlock] Level: Level 5 Technique: Demonic Sound Combat Strength: 500 Health: 2,000 Talent: Poker Killer (Unawakened) Note: The Skeleton Warlock holds a stack of poker cards in its hand. Every card has different abilities. Don¡¯t be hit by the poker cards. -500 -600 -700 -500 ¡­ The attacks of Alchemist, Blood Asura, and Dark Concubine landed consecutively. In Ye Chen¡¯s eyes, numbers kept appearing above the Skeleton Warlock¡¯s head, and its health was constantly decreasing. Critical hit! Blood Asura suddenly used a critical strike skill and slashed at the Skeleton Warlock¡¯s neck, cutting off its head. ¡®Hm?¡¯ He discovered that Blood Asura¡¯s attribute panel had instantly changed. [Blood Asura] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 600 Health: 6,000 Experience: 50/100 Killing a Level 5 Skeleton Warlock gave her 50 experience points? As long as she killed another one, she could upgrade to Level 2. He glanced at the Blood Asura. After the battle just now, she seemed even more excited. Fighting was the nature of the Asura Clan. Alchemists were equivalent to healers. Their combat talent was not strong. The Dark Concubine was equivalent to an assassin, and her combat talent was not bad. Blood Asura was equivalent to a warrior and had outstanding combat talent. ¡®Hm?¡¯ As the Skeleton Warlock¡¯s corpse disappeared, two things appeared on the ground. Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Ye Chen¡¯s vision changed, and a message appeared in the virtual interface. Minor Health Potion x1 Heaven Splitting Spear Fragment x1 As soon as he touched the items, they disappeared. Ye Chen hurriedly checked the warehouse function of the Monster Chat Group. Opening the warehouse, these two things were indeed inside: [Minor Health Potion: Recovers 1,000 health instantly. Note: It can be used by pets and warriors.] [Sky Splitting Spear Fragments: Collect 100 fragments and you can synthesize the original form of the Sky Splitting Spear.] [Ding] [Congratulations, host. You have killed a Skeleton Warlock. You have received 20 points.] Killing monsters gave experience, dropped equipment, and points. How satisfying. Ye Chen was secretly pleased. Then, he put away the Alchemist and Dark Concubine. This was because he was going out now. If others saw that he had three pets, they would be shocked. This would expose him easily. He had to keep a low profile first. Blood Asura held the Thunder Saber and protected Ye Chen behind him. He opened the window and looked out. Downstairs, many monsters were chasing after ordinary people. The roars of monsters filled the street. There were cries for help from passersby. Their voices rose one after another. ¡°Kill them!¡± ¡°Go!¡± There were also Pet Tamers controlling their pets to attack the monsters. At the same time, he also discovered some uniformed soldiers who were former law enforcers. Due to their age, they had basically also entered the Monster Chat Group. Now, they have gathered to protect the country. Soon, a new organization would be established to sweep through the monsters and protect the people. Ah! A shrill voice was heard. Then, there was a knock on Ye Chen¡¯s door. ¡°Ye Chen! Save me, I¡¯m the landlord!¡± ¡°As long as you save me, I won¡¯t charge you rent.¡± The landlady? She was already over 40 years old and had no right to enter the Monster Chat Group. Ye Chen hurriedly ran behind the door and opened the peephole. A half-meter-tall monster was biting the fat landlady. [Hellhound] Level: Level 4 Technique: Bite Combat Strength: 400 HP: 1,500 Talent: Explosive Roar (Unawakened) Note: Hellhounds can grow up to three heads at most. When they roar together, the resulting sound wave can shatter internal organs. Ahhh! The landlady screamed. Her legs were almost eaten away. Her flesh was mangled, revealing white bones. She was originally hiding in the bathroom at home. The door was locked and she was still holding a kitchen knife. However, this Hellhound happened to appear right beside her. By the time she ran out to ask for help, it was already too late. Ye Chen pondered for a moment and knew that the landlady could no longer be saved. However, he could not watch his own kind be eaten, so he opened the door and let the Blood Asura rush out. Critical hit! She slashed out and slashed the Hellhound¡¯s neck. This was a pitch-black vicious dog with flames burning in its fur. It was slightly larger than a normal dog and was very ferocious. Its face was savage and its mouth was filled with blood. -800 -700 Blood Asura only needed two slashes to finish off this Hell Hound. She received 40 experience points. Now, he was only 10 experience points away from leveling up Blood Asura to Level 2. At that time, both her combat strength and health would increase. As the corpse of the Hellhound disappeared, something glowing appeared on the ground: [Hell Mystic Realm Key Fragment x1: Collect 18 fragments to combine into one key to open a mini Hell Trial Mystic Realm.] [Ding] [Congratulations, host. You have killed a Hellhound and received 50 points.] After killing a monster, the points awarded would be random, not proportional to the monster¡¯s level. ¡°Ye Chen, you bastard, why didn¡¯t you come out earlier? I¡¯m about to die now. If you came out earlier, would I have become like this?¡± ¡°Hurry up and bring me to see a doctor. I¡¯m about to die!¡± ¡°Hurry up. What are you waiting for? Otherwise, I¡¯ll chase you out.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t have a house here, you¡¯ll be bitten to death by monsters sooner or later.¡± Ye Chen looked down at the landlady¡¯s injuries. Her legs had been bitten off and blood was flowing profusely. In a few minutes, she would go into shock. If he used the Minor Health Potion on her, she should be able to survive. Ha! Hearing her shout, Ye Chen grinned and took a deep breath. He grabbed the landlady¡¯s clothes and smiled like he was holding a dead dog. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to see a doctor now.¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Ye Chen?¡± ¡°Let go of me!¡± The landlady seemed to sense that something was wrong and immediately shouted. Ye Chen did not seem to have heard anything. He heard that there was a monster in a house downstairs. He recalled carefully that this was a couple who had just moved in. The man was usually quite arrogant. Ye Chen had just transmigrated over and because he bumped into the other party, he was scolded and almost beaten up. The woman was not a good person either. She usually kept a dog and did not hold the leash. The dog had wanted to pounce on Ye Chen time and time again. Bang! He kicked open the door and saw two monsters and two pets inside. There was a Red-furred Chicken that was only at the Elite Grade. It was already on the verge of death and was pressed down by a very large green toad demon. The ground was covered in blood. There was also a Robot Cat, at the Legendary Grade. It was being hammered by a huge humanoid demon. Ye Chen instantly threw the landlady in and looked at the huge demon. It was still holding two great hammers that seemed to emanate with great power. [Bloodthirsty Stormrider] Level: Level 6 Skill: Poison Fang Combat Strength: 700 Health: 3,000 Talent: Tearing Strike (Unawakened) Note: Stormriders have bloodthirsty instincts. If they devour too much blood, they will lose control and become even more violent. F*ck you. Ye Chen threw the landlady over. Ahhh! The landlady screamed and cursed, ¡°Ye Chen, you¡¯ll die a horrible death.¡± Ha! Ye Chen ignored this. You don¡¯t have to worry about whether I¡¯ll die or not. You should think of a way to survive yourself! Bang! The Bloodthirsty Stormrider smashed the landlady¡¯s body with his hammer. His combat strength was very high, and killing ordinary people was as easy as crushing a chick. Blood splashed and was directly swallowed by the Bloodthirsty Stormrider. He let out a long roar into the sky. The hammer danced and smashed into the wall, creating a huge pit. Cracks began to appear on the wall like spiderwebs. He was so strong. Ye Chen quietly retreated, leaving the battlefield to the loving couple inside. ¡°Quick, save me!¡± ¡°Someone save us!¡± The man and woman screamed. Their pets could not hold on any longer. Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Honey, hold on. I¡¯ll go out and find someone to save you.¡± The man was very fat, but his movements were very agile. He controlled his robot cat to jump up and rush out of the door with him. Pfft! When the woman¡¯s pet was killed, she also died. Before she died, she did not even manage to scream. The husband and wife pair were only birds of the same forest. When disaster struck, they flew separately. This was very realistic. Bang! Just as the man was about to leave, Ye Chen appeared in time and knocked him back with his strengthened body. Roar! Two monsters rushed out of the room and hammered at him. ¡°Ye¡­¡± The fat man was about to say something harsh when he was hammered to death. The robot cat was also smashed into a pile of fragments. Roar! Roar! Ye Chen looked up and saw the Bloodthirsty Stormrider roaring at the sky. It continuously devoured the flesh and blood and was about to level up. ¡°Blood Asura, kill!¡± Ye Chen became excited. As long as he killed it, his Blood Asura would be able to level up. Slash! -600 -700 -500 -400 The Blood Asura did not trigger any critical attacks, so the damage was not high. Ye Chen took this opportunity to see the information of the green toad behind the Bloodthirsty Stormrider. [Green Furred Blood Toad] Level: Level 4 Technique: Corrosion Combat Strength: 300 Health: 1,500 Talent: Sound Wave Attack (Unawakened) Note: There are a total of five waves of sound wave attacks, each stronger than the last. If one is hit by the sound wave, their entire body will be separated and they will die on the spot. ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°Dark Concubine!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chen did not have the time to care about the leveling up of the Bloodthirsty Stormrider. Instead, he immediately summoned the Dark Concubine to kill the Green Furred Blood Toad. If this fellow made a sound, the danger level would exceed that of the Bloodthirsty Stormrider. Dark Concubine, dressed in tight black leather clothes, appeared. She held two swords and was about 1.2 meters tall. She had a ponytail and her mouth was wide open, revealing four sharp canine teeth. Ye Chen ordered her to attack the Green Furred Blood Toad. Dark Concubine¡¯s figure was very fast. She pounced forward like a tanuki and crawled through the gap. Because the Bloodthirsty Stormrider blocked the door, the space was very small. However, her body was very agile. The moment she entered the room, she waved her two swords. Skill: Slash. -800 -700 In two simple movements, Dark Concubine raised her sword and cut off the Green Furred Blood Toad¡¯s head. Then, she turned around and attacked the Bloodthirsty Stormrider. At the same time, the Blood Asura moved and waved its saber. Roar! Roar! Bang! The Bloodthirsty Stormrider raised the hammer in his hand and hammered the Dark Concubine behind him to the side. Blood Asura¡¯s blood boiled with excitement. It seized the opportunity and slashed at him. The Thunderbolt Saber flowed with weak lightning. This slash made the Bloodthirsty Stormrider¡¯s body tremble. Pfft! Dark Concubine stepped on the wall with both feet and bounced back like lightning. Her dual blades landed on the Bloodthirsty Stormrider. Slash after slash. Blood Asura cooperated and attacked with the Thunderbolt Saber. Pfft! For the last hit, Ye Chen controlled Dark Concubine to leave it for Blood Asura. She slashed the Bloodthirsty Stormrider¡¯s neck and killed it. Blood Asura obtained 60 experience points and leveled up. [Blood Asura] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 50/1,000 [Congratulations, host. You have killed the Green Furred Blood Toad and obtained 40 points.] [Congratulations, host. You have killed the Bloodthirsty Stormrider and received 50 points.] Ye Chen sighed with emotion. When he was at LV1, he only needed 100 experience points to level up his pet. Now, he needs 1,000 experience points at LV2. At this rate, she had to kill at least 20 monsters. He had a total of three pets to raise. In other words, he had to put in three times more effort than others. Sigh! Sighing, he looked at the Dark Concubine and realized that her interface had also changed. There was an additional attribute bar with experience. [Dark Concubine] Level: Level 1 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Slash Attributes: Gold Level: Immortal Beast (Grade 8) Talent: Sword Manipulation Technique (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 700 Health: 7,000 Experience: 40/100 ¡°It¡¯s not a good thing to have many pets!¡± Ye Chen only realized it now. Since he had many pets, he had to work harder. Swish! Swish! The corpses of the two monsters disappeared, and five lights appeared on the ground. [Minor Blood Pill x1: Recover Qi and blood. It can be used by pets and warriors.] [Sky Splitting Spear Fragments: Collect 100 fragments and you can synthesize the original form of the Sky Splitting Spear.] [Vajra Fist Manual x1: A remnant Shaolin fist technique from 300 years ago. Suitable for metal-attribute pets to cultivate.] [Demon God Armor Fragment x1: Collect 108 fragments. Can be synthesized into a piece of the Demon God Armor. Note: There are a total of five pieces of the Demon God Armor: helmet, armor, pauldrons, knee guards, and boots.] [Hell Mystic Realm Key Fragment x1: Collect 18 fragments to combine into one key to open a mini Hell Trial Mystic Realm.] ¡°This is good stuff!¡± Ye Chen immediately handed the Vajra Fist Manual to Dark Concubine. The latter took it and the manual disappeared. She only needed half an hour to finish cultivating it. Looking at the Blood Asura in front of him, Ye Chen felt an obvious change in her aura. The difference between LV2 and LV1 was clearly huge, especially in terms of Health Points. However, he already knew that according to the information in the chat group. Monsters below Level 10 generally did not have high HP, giving the pets more room to grow. When a Level 10 pet was born, the monster that descended to the real world in a 100 li radius around it would be even stronger. ¡°This building has a total of seven floors. There are three units on each floor, and each unit has three families.¡± ¡°I¡¯m on Unit 1 of the fifth floor. At best, there are 20 monsters.¡± ¡°If I can kill all the monsters here, Blood Asura can at least reach Level 3.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s do it.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s plunder Unit 1 first.¡± Ye Chen rubbed his nose with his hand. The smell of blood was very strong and a little disgusting. He continued downstairs and prepared to take the initiative to attack. With the help of Blood Asura and the Thunderclap Saber, Ye Chen swept through Unit 1 not long after. He found a total of five monsters. The experience points they provided for Blood Asura was still very lacking. ¡°What should I do?¡± Ye Chen prepared to leave Unit 1 and go to Unit 2 and Unit 3 to take a look at the situation. Before he left, he heard a sound. ¡°Captain!¡± ¡°According to the analysis of the monster scanner, there¡¯s a LV9 monster in Unit 2.¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations A Level 9 monster? Ye Chen had just walked out of the unit when he met the law enforcement team. There were a total of seven people. The leader was a girl. She was wearing a full set of soft armor and had exquisite short hair. Behind her stood a humanoid bull. He was wearing iron armor and had the head of an ox and the body of a human. He also wore steel rings on his nose and ears. They were about ten centimeters in diameter. This was the female captain¡¯s pet. Level 5. He was three meters tall and held a sharp ax. How did he level up so quickly? Ye Chen was a little confused. Ever since the monsters descended, it had only been more than half an hour. He had not been idle for a moment and kept accumulating experience. Even so, the Blood Asura did not even reach Level 3. The law-enforcement team in front of him not only had the Level 5 Bull Warrior, but had also equipped it with combat uniform. In other words, when they learned that the monsters were about to invade the real world, the country had already taken action and used all its resources to help the law enforcement team make armor. Most importantly, their distribution was very reasonable. They left the last attack to the captain¡¯s pet. Their strategy was to select a pet to become the main combatant first. Only then would the chances of winning be the highest. ¡°There are Level 9 monsters here. Leave quickly.¡± The female captain¡¯s name was Tang Qiu. She was a little surprised to see Ye Chen. She did not expect to see anyone come out alive. Moreover, the pet behind him looked quite powerful. If she remembered correctly, its level should be very high. Alright. Ye Chen was not in the mood to participate in the battle of the enforcement team. He was still very weak, and he could not expose the Dark Concubine and the Alchemist. Since the law-enforcement team wanted to clean up this building, he would go elsewhere. In any case, there were monsters everywhere, so there was no need to worry about not having a place to farm for experience points. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Tang Qiu brought her team members into Unit 2 and prepared to fight. If a Level 9 monster leveled up again, it would be Level 10. At that time, its destructive power and damage would be very great. If she did not get rid of it now, there would be endless trouble. The wet market was more than a hundred meters ahead. Ye Chen carefully crossed the street and arrived at the entrance. It was a mess inside. Clearly, it had been through a battle. Many ordinary people¡¯s corpses had turned into blood and meat paste. It was a tragic sight. There were also many broken rocks that looked very strange. Roar! A monster appeared and suddenly stood in front of Ye Chen. [Gargoyle] Level: Level 7 Technique: Petrification Combat Strength: 800 Health: 4,000 Talent: Single-eyed Curse (Unawakened) Note: The Gargoyle has a single eye on its forehead that can release evil light. Those illuminated by the evil light will forever become the Gargoyle¡¯s servants. The Gargoyle was about 2.5 meters tall and looked like a statue. However, its entire body emitted a strange aura that made one¡¯s spine shiver. The face was a bird¡¯s and it had an eagle¡¯s beak. Its mouth stretched all the way to the ears. There was no tongue, but there was a stone bead in its mouth. ¡°Blood Asura!¡± ¡°Go!¡± Without any hesitation, Ye Chen controlled the Blood Asura to attack. Shua! The Blood Asura, who was fighting more and more bravely, was still boiling with adrenaline. This was a natural warrior. The Asura Clan was born to fight. In her hands, the Thunderbolt Saber could unleash even stronger power. Slash! She jumped up and used her body as an axis to spin. The Thunderbolt Saber spun like a wheel as it slashed down. Critical hit! Blood Asura activated her skill. Her saber was as heavy as a mountain as it slashed at the Gargoyle. Bang! Ye Chen did not see the health bar decrease. Instead, he saw a spark. The Thunderbolt Saber in Blood Asura¡¯s hand was actually petrified, and it quickly spread to the hilt. If Blood Asura did not let go, even her body would be petrified. ¡°How do we fight this?¡± Releasing the Thunderbolt Saber, Blood Asura quickly dodged. At the same time, she pounced forward and attacked with both fists. Critical hit! Bang! She retracted her hand, afraid that her fists would be petrified. Pata. The Thunderbolt Saber fell to the ground. Because it was a product of the System and was of a good level, it was not smashed into pieces. There were some skills that restrained monsters and pets. When faced with such a situation, they had to rely on a team to fight. ¡°Let us help you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t approach it. Let your pets leave first.¡± Just as Ye Chen was about to summon the Alchemist, two people ran over from afar. It was a man and a woman. The man was fat. He was 1.75 meters tall and about 100kg in weight. He was followed by a pig. Not bad. A Level 5 Mythic Grade Dragon Pig. This was a monster with the head of a pig and the body of a dinosaur. Its legs were strong, and its claws were very sharp. The pig head opened its mouth, and blood flowed. It was only about a meter tall and 2.5 to 2.6 meters long. Oink. The Pig Dragon made a sound like thunder. It was very fast. It jumped directly to the fatty, came behind the Gargoyle, and slammed over. The girl was dressed in casual clothes. Her braids were long and tied into a bun. On her feet were a pair of white running shoes and some diamonds. In front of her was a humanoid Snake. Her upper body was that of a woman. She was wearing soft armor and holding a long whip. Her lower body was that of a snake, covered in purple scales. It slithered silently and quickly. Mersnake. Grade 4, Legendary. Ye Chen ordered Blood Asura to take two steps back and jump out of the battle circle first. Since there was help, why not accept it? The Gargoyle in front of him was indeed a little difficult to deal with unless he summoned all three pets. Bang! The Pig Dragon¡¯s body was very strong. Even though it was only Level 2 now, the force of this collision was very strong. The Gargoyle was ambushed from behind and staggered, almost falling to the ground. The Mersnake took the opportunity to attack. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of poison that sprayed on the Gargoyle. The Gargoyle¡¯s body began to slowly corrode. Crack! The gargoyle ignored its body and turned to look at the Pig Dragon. An eye suddenly appeared on its forehead. At the same time, it jumped up slightly. After landing on the ground, the ground was visibly petrified, and the petrification quickly spread in all directions. Just as the Pig Dragon was about to be petrified, it opened its mouth and a red light appeared, instantly enveloping a two-meter radius. The range of the red light happened to cover the Gargoyle¡¯s petrification skill. Eh? Ye Chen¡¯s eyes widened in shock. This Pig Dragon looked stupid, but its ability was actually so strong. Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations [Pig Dragon] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Devour Attributes: Gui Grade: Mythic (Grade 5) Talent: Skill Plunder (Unawakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 700 Health: 10,000 Ye Chen could not see the Pig Dragon¡¯s interface, so he did not know what skills it had. However, as the red light spread, the Gargoyle¡¯s petrification slowly disappeared. ¡°Now!¡± The fatty shouted, and the Pig Dragon¡¯s spirit withered. Its feet and claws gradually turned to stone, and even its tail began to stiffen. After the Mersnake spat out the corrosive poison, it slithered quickly and lashed out with its whip, hitting the head of the Gargoyle. -700 Pa! Pa! After two more lashes, the Gargoyle¡¯s health was reduced by a further 1,000 points, and its body began to crack. Pa! The Mersnake whipped at the Gargoyle again, but in midair, an arm grabbed the whip. It turned out that the Gargoyle¡¯s arms could be raised. Although it was a statue, its body could be separated. This was unexpected. Fortunately, the Mersnake¡¯s intelligence was not high. Otherwise, she would be very stunned. ¡°Do it!¡± ¡°Blood Asura!¡± Ye Chen seized this rare opportunity to give the Blood Asura an order. With a flash of red light, she grabbed the Thunderbolt Saber on the ground. The petrification on the saber had already been absorbed by the red light, and it flickered with lightning again. Slash! Her body soared into the air, and her saber descended like a mountain. Crack! The arm that was holding the Mersnake¡¯s whip was actually cut off. -900 At the same time, Blood Asura¡¯s slash skill was activated. She slashed again and cut into the Gargoyle¡¯s neck. -900 Bang! Another kick followed. -200 Crack! Crack! Crack! The Gargoyle collapsed, its body shattering into pieces. 80 experience points obtained. [Blood Asura] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 370/1,000 [Congratulations, Host, for killing the Gargoyle. You have received 60 points.] As the gravel disappeared, three glowing things appeared on the ground. [Wood Spirit Stone x1: Used by wood-attribute pets. It can randomly increase the attributes of attack, health, and grade.] [Yin Yang Whip Fragment x1: Collect 66 fragments. Can be combined into a divine weapon, the Yin Yang Whip. It can be used to attack pets and demons.] [White Treasure Chest x1: Randomly obtains items after opening] Whoosh! Blood Asura retreated and stood beside Ye Chen like the most competent bodyguard. The Thunderbolt Saber in her hand was still flickering with lightning. The fat man and the girl opened their mouths in shock. This person¡¯s pet was so powerful. One single slash could kill their Pig Dragon and Mersnake. ¡°Hello.¡± The fatty walked up to Ye Chen and took the initiative to extend his hand. ¡°My name is Zhu Qiang. My pet is a Pig Dragon. It¡¯s now Level 2.¡± Ye Chen nodded and did not shake hands. As far as he knew, in such a chaotic world, no one could be trusted except himself. Ugh! Zhu Qiang was not disappointed. He only reached out and scratched his head twice before smiling awkwardly. ¡°My name is Lin Nuoyi. My pet is a Mersnake. It¡¯s also at Level 2.¡± The girl came forward and nodded slightly. ¡°Ye Chen, my pet is a Blood Asura, also Level 2.¡± After he finished introducing, he pointed at the things on the ground. ¡°Let¡¯s split them! One each. Thank you for your help just now.¡± Even if Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi didn¡¯t come, he could still kill the Gargoyle. It would just take some effort. ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± Lin Nuo said, ¡°Now that the monsters have invaded, us humans should help each other and resist the monsters together and kill them all.¡± Zhu Qiang also said, ¡°Nuoyi is right.¡± I get it. This is a bootlicker. Ye Chen smiled and gestured for Zhu Qiang to pick up the things on the ground. He did not dare to bend down for fear of being stabbed in the back. After the three of them checked the items that had fallen, Lin Nuoyi took the initiative and said, ¡°I want this fragment of the Yin Yang Whip!¡± Alright. Ye Chen had no objections. In any case, his pets did not use a whip. ¡°Wood Spirit Stones are useless to me. My Pig Dragon is of the earth attribute. Why don¡¯t I take the white treasure chest! Brother Chen, do you have any objections?¡± Zhu Qiang had a smile on his face as he asked for Ye Chen¡¯s opinion. Alright. Ye Chen did not care about the white treasure chest. After all, this was the lowest level treasure chest. The information on the Monster Chat Group showed that the treasure chests were divided into four levels: white, purple, silver, and gold. He put away the Wood Spirit Stone, even though he could not use it now. As long as he summoned a wood-attribute pet later, he could fuse this with it. ¡°Brother Chen, form a team with us!¡± The fatty Zhu Qiang began to rope Ye Chen in. ¡°My Pig Dragon can devour the skills of monsters, but its weakness is very obvious. After devouring the skills, it will also be injured by the devoured skills and can¡¯t even move.¡± Lin Nuoyi followed closely and said, ¡°My pet Mersnake has a corrosive skill. Its function is a little useless, but it¡¯s not bad as a support. Moreover, after the monster is poisoned, it will continuously lose health.¡± When they talked about their pets¡¯ skills, they were a little ashamed and embarrassed. After all, they did not have a main combatant and were destined to be inferior to others. Just ten minutes ago, they encountered a good companion. But although he was the main combatant, he had been killed by two monsters. With a single look, it was obvious that Ye Chen and this Blood Asura was not to be trifled with. If they were not wrong, the grade of this pet was definitely not low. At the very least, it would be a Grade 6 pet. With such a big shot, of course they had to cozy up to him. ¡°No need.¡± Ye Chen shook his head and refused. He had three pets and did not want others to know. Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi would sooner or later discover his secret if they followed him. How could he keep a low profile like this? ¡°Brother Chen, don¡¯t be in a hurry to refuse. We¡¯re not trash. There are many benefits.¡± Zhu Qiang pondered for a moment and made a decision. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I know how to let your pet level up quickly. As long as you bring us along, I¡¯ll tell you. How about that?¡± Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Eh? Ye Chen had just taken a few steps when he stopped and turned to look at Zhu Qiang. Seeing that he was tempted, the latter immediately said, ¡°Brother Chen, think about it. Even if your pet is very powerful, the more she levels up, the more experience points will be needed to grow stronger. Coincidentally, I know a way to let your pet level up quickly. Otherwise, at our level, we¡¯ll be killed sooner or later.¡± Lin Nuoyi also said, ¡°Fatty is right. The entire world is in chaos now. Monsters are invading, and humans can¡¯t even protect themselves. Let¡¯s form a team! This way, our chances of survival will be higher. In the future, we¡¯ll all be obedient and do whatever we¡¯re told. What do you think?¡± Her attitude was very sincere, and she even winked at Ye Chen. However, it looked very childish. Her eyes blinked unnaturally. It was obvious that she had never winked at anyone before. This was the first time she had tried. ¡°Let¡¯s hear it first.¡± Ye Chen was indeed a little tempted. After all, no one could resist the temptation of quickly leveling up. ¡°The two of us will take the lead and let your pet deal the finishing blow. All the experience will be yours.¡± Zhu Qiang quickly said, ¡°I saw the enforcement team do this just now. That female captain¡¯s pet leveled up very quickly. This is the only way that us ordinary people can survive.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Ye Chen actually knew this method, but it was a little difficult to implement it alone. If Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo could help, it would indeed save him a lot of trouble. Otherwise. There was no need to bring them along. ¡°Yes!¡± Zhu Qiang jumped up and said happily, ¡°Brother Chen, follow me. I know where the monsters are.¡± He said as he walked, ¡°The law enforcement team was here just now. There aren¡¯t many monsters here, but there¡¯s a place they haven¡¯t searched. If I¡¯m not wrong, there must be something there too.¡± Alright. Lin Nuo followed closely. Ye Chen looked around and indeed did not see any monsters. Since the law-enforcement team had been here, they must have cleared out the area. It was very likely that the Gargoyle had just arrived. Zhu Qiang said as he walked, ¡°My father is a butcher. There are a few farmhouses on the periphery of the market. They¡¯re near the river and have been converted into cold storage and slaughterhouses. There¡¯s usually no one inside, and there¡¯s a lot of space.¡± That made sense. Ye Chen could not help but nod. This Zhu Qiang was indeed a little smart. Although he was fat, he was quite smart. They entered the cold storage. Bang! Bang! As expected, Ye Chen heard a collision from inside. Actually, the construction of the cold storage warehouse was not strong. The monsters had yet to break through, which meant that their body was not very strong. This was the most suitable for him. ¡°Pig Dragon, charge!¡± Under Zhu Qiang¡¯s orders, the Pig Dragon broke through the door and rushed into the cold storage. ¡°Mersnake, you too.¡± Lin Nuoyi controlled her pet and followed closely behind the Pig Dragon. Since they were going to form a team, they naturally had to show their sincerity. Blood Asura followed behind at a leisurely pace. Ye Chen, Zhu Qiang, and Lin Nuo stepped into the cold storage. Zhu Qiang was a little familiar with this place and turned on the light. Hiss! As soon as Ye Chen entered, he felt an oppressive cold and almost shivered. Then he saw the area filled with pork, beef, mutton, chicken, and so on. From afar, it looked like a forest of meat. More than ten meters away, two monsters were constantly hitting the wall of the cold storage warehouse, and cracks had already appeared. Hearing the commotion, the monsters immediately ran over. At the same time. There were three more monsters in the corner, constantly biting at the frozen meat. These were bloodthirsty animals that wanted to devour flesh and blood. Although they heard the commotion, they did not rush over. They were still busy eating. The frozen meat was like popsicles in their mouths, and they swallowed it in a few bites. One of the monsters had a huge stomach and it looked like it was about to die from overeating. Squeak. The two monsters were the first to appear in front of Ye Chen. [Puppet Lizard] Level: Level 4 Technique: Kill Combat Strength: 600 Health: 1,800 Talent: After being bitten by the lizard, the target¡¯s body will stiffen and eventually completely loses consciousness, becoming a puppet These were two lizards wrapped in white cloth like mummies. They did not move quickly. They were much slower than normal monsters. ¡°This is an opportunity.¡± Zhu Qiang directly attacked. The Pig Dragon rushed over and knocked down the two Puppet Lizards. Lin Nuoyi also hurriedly moved. The Mersnake slithered around and waved the long whip in its hand, striking a lizard. The white cloth shattered, revealing the bones inside. It turned out that the Puppet Lizard had no flesh and blood on its body. Only its neck and head looked normal. Pig Dragon ran over and knocked down the Puppet Lizard before smashing down with its body. When the Pig Dragon stood up, the Mersnake spat out corrosive poison on the monster. ¡°Blood Asura.¡± Ye Chen shouted, ¡°It¡¯s your turn!¡± Whoosh! Holding the Thunderbolt Saber, Blood Asura rushed out very quickly. The saber in her hand danced like a fire wheel. In a moment, the Puppet Lizard¡¯s head was cut off. Received 30 experience points. Received 30 experience points. [Congratulations, Host. You have killed two Puppet Lizards. You have received 80 points.] As the Puppet Lizards¡¯ corpse disappeared, three pieces of equipment dropped. Ye Chen let Zhu Qiang pick them up first while he controlled the Blood Asura to rush towards the other three monsters. [Scarlet Blood Flying Duck] Level: Level 3 Technique: Blood Defilement Combat Strength: 300 Health: 1,200 Talent: None [Dragon Swallowing Toad] Level: Level 5 Skill: Corruption Combat Strength: 500 Health: 2,000 Talent: Devouring Evolution Note: The more flesh and blood it swallows, the faster it evolves. When it reaches adulthood, it can feed on dragons. [Undead Earth Dragon] Level: Level 5 Technique: Heart Corrosion Combat Strength: 600 Health: 3,000 Talent: Dungeon (Unawakened) Note: Undead Earth Dragon can summon a hell cage and turn it into a dungeon. Those who are trapped are at its mercy. The Dragon Swallowing Toad¡¯s stomach was very big and seemed like it was almost stuffed to death. Its stomach kept contracting and expanding, digesting everything it had swallowed. In the blink of an eye, it returned to his normal size and its blood essence became even more exuberant. ¡°We have to get rid of it first.¡± Ye Chen glanced at the Dragon Swallowing Toad¡¯s health. Fortunately, it was not much. As long as the Blood Asura was fast enough, it could completely kill it in three strikes. ¡°Hey, hey, hey.¡± ¡°Little kid, stop!¡± Just as the Blood Asura was about to attack, a few people entered the cold storage and shouted. Their voices were cold and even filled with killing intent. They had ill intentions! Ye Chen turned around and narrowed his eyes. Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations There were a total of seven people. They were all in their thirties and dressed very strangely. They were all wearing leather soft armor. It did not look like the uniform of the law enforcement team, nor did it look like the clothes of an ordinary person. The leader was a man with a small mustache and very light eyebrows. He had small eyes and big ears, and his appearance was strange. Behind him were four pets, all of them strong. ¡°This is not a place for you to come. Get lost.¡± ¡°This cold storage is private territory. Who let you in?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t leave now, you¡¯ll bear the consequences yourself.¡± ¡°I heard that pets can evolve when they eat other pets. You don¡¯t know yet, right?¡± ¡­ The bearded man picked up a machete that was hanging on the shelf. As he walked, he knocked on the iron shelf and shouted. ¡°Brother Li, I¡¯m Qiangzi!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not an outsider.¡± ¡°My father has a share of this place too.¡± ¡°Leave these three monsters to us!¡± ¡­ Zhu Qiang immediately stood up and shouted at the mustached man. He knew the few people behind him. They were all vendors from the market. Some sold vegetables, some fresh meat, some condiments, and some sold grain. The leader¡¯s real name was Li Li. Like Zhu Qiang¡¯s father, he was a butcher. Zhu Qiang¡¯s father butchered pigs while Li Li handled cows. ¡°Qiangzi?¡± Li Li sized up Zhu Qiang and saw the Pig Dragon not far behind him. Pig head. Dinosaur body. It didn¡¯t look weak, but so what? They had more people and pets, so it was very easy to kill it. ¡°Since you¡¯re here too, then¡­¡± Li Li shouted, ¡°Close the door.¡± ¡°Alright, Brother Li!¡± Someone behind him immediately went and closed the metal door. From the looks of it, their intention was obvious. Li Li did not intend to let Zhu Qiang off. Instead, he wanted to murder him. ¡°Fatty, what¡¯s going on? Don¡¯t you know each other?¡± Lin Nuoyi was a little surprised. She did not expect this situation. She quietly stood beside Zhu Qiang and asked in a low voice. ¡°I forgot something just now.¡± Zhu Qiang slapped himself twice with his hand. ¡°In the past, when this fellow sold beef, he always gave two catties less. Later on, my father found out and warned him not to play tricks and to run the business honestly. In the end, he still refused to listen and went against my father at every turn. That was until recently when my father reported him because there was something wrong with the beef he sold. They were all sick cows.¡± ¡°How could I have forgotten about this?¡± Zhu Qiang became vexed and blamed himself very much. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I implicated you!¡± Ye Chen gritted his teeth and ignored Li Li. Instead, he continued to order the Blood Asura, ¡°End the battle quickly!¡± Boom! The Thunderbolt Saber slashed at the Dragon Swallowing Toad first. Pfft! -900 This slash was quite powerful. Without a word, Blood Asura continued to slash at it at an extremely fast speed. She was an Asura. She was born to fight. Bloodthirst. Talent activated. Her body was filled with red light, and her eyes were red. This was her talent. It could increase her attack power. Pfft! With a flash of her saber, the Dragon Swallowing Toad¡¯s head was chopped off before it could activate its skill. Obtained 60 experience points. Now, she was only 560 experience points away from leveling up to Level 3. ¡°Kill!¡± The Blood Asura let out a sharp shout and rushed towards the Scarlet Blood Flying Duck. This monster was actually a duck. It had two large blood-colored wings, and its original duck claws were as thick as an adult¡¯s arm. It flapped its wings, and a red liquid flew over. This was the Blood Defilement skill. As long as the blood splashed on one¡¯s body, all the attributes would decrease. Their movements and reaction speed would slow down, their attack would weaken, and their health points would be decreased. However, the Blood Asura did not take this attack of the Scarlet Blood Flying Duck seriously at all. One slash. Another slash. With two consecutive slashes, it died on the spot. Obtained 40 experience points. The Blood Asura race was skilled with blood attribute attacks. They had immunity against blood attribute skills. Facing a monster like the Scarlet Blood Flying Duck, Blood Asura was its natural nemesis. ¡°Bastard!¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± ¡°Brothers, kill him first.¡± ¡°This fellow really doesn¡¯t take the Boss seriously.¡± ¡­ When the people behind Li Li saw that Ye Chen had killed two monsters in a row and only left behind an Undead Spirit Earth Dragon, they were furious. This made them lose nearly 100 experience points, so they were naturally angry. ¡°Kill him!¡± Li Li narrowed his eyes. He felt that Ye Chen was really detestable. He actually did not give him face. Most importantly, he could sense that Ye Chen¡¯s pet was not simple. Sometimes, the pets shown in the Monster Chat Group would not have their specific attributes displayed. However, there was a pattern that could be used to determine the strength of the pets. The closer the pet looked to a human, the higher their level. If Ye Chen¡¯s pet grew up, it would not be ordinary. Since he was friends with Zhu Qiang, he was an enemy. ¡°Hmph!¡± ¡°Nuoyi, let¡¯s attack too.¡± Fatty Zhu Qiang controlled the Pig Dragon and rushed towards the group of people. Lin Nuoyi was not idle either. Before he spoke, she had already rushed in front of Ye Chen. ¡°This fellow is really courting death.¡± Ye Chen¡¯s gaze froze. He felt that his Blood Asura was meant to drink human blood and slaughter pets. After all, it was an Asura. It was born to fight. It was brave and fearless. He did not provoke others. If others provoked him, Ye Chen would let them know what it meant to die. ¡°Blood Asura.¡± ¡°Fight!¡± Ye Chen roared, and the Blood Asura suddenly transformed into a bloody light. Bloodthirst Talent. Activate. Today, he wanted these people to die here. Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Clang! Blood Asura held the Thunderbolt Saber and transformed into a scarlet light that rushed out first. Roar! Roar! There were a total of four pets behind Li Li. Under the control of their owners, they flew towards Ye Chen and the others. There was a Shattering Tiger King covered in machine parts. Be it in defense or lethality, it was very strong. Level 2, Tiger Roar Skill, Grade 4 Legendary. The next one was an Earth Splitting Turtle, about a meter tall with a wide body. Level 2, Earth-Splitting Skill, Grade 3 Rare. The other one was a Storm Leopard more than three meters long and covered in spots. Level 2, Wind Wall Skill, Grade 3 Rare. The last one was a Vajra Turkey. It was tall and looked like a mountain eagle. Level 2, Claw Skill, Grade 3 Rare. Although their levels were not high, their lethality was not bad. Especially since the combination was very reasonable. There was a main combatant and some support. If they encountered other pets, they would definitely have the upper hand. Compared to them, the Blood Asura¡¯s combat strength was twice as strong. With his awakened talent, Ye Chen was not afraid. Bloodthirst. Talent activated. The Blood Asura was the first to attack the Shattering Tiger King. This tiger¡¯s defense was the highest, and it was very difficult for the Pig Dragon and the Mersnake to break through its defense. Critical hit! The skill was activated. She slashed at the Shattering Tiger King¡¯s body. A crack appeared on the machine that covered its entire body. Zi! Zi! Zi! The lightning attribute of the Thunderbolt Saber has increased damage against all metal attributes creatures. Numbers kept floating above the head of the Shattering Tiger King, and its health decreased rapidly. ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°Quick!¡± ¡°Stop this female pet.¡± ¡°She¡¯s at least at Grade Six. Her attack is so high.¡± ¡­ The owner of the Shattering Tiger King was called Zhang Yu. He realized that something was wrong and shouted. He even felt a little jumpy as he quickly ran towards Li Li. He grabbed his arm and shouted, ¡°Brother Li, attack quickly.¡± Alright. Li Li also realized that something was wrong. Ye Chen¡¯s pet was too arrogant and domineering. The attack was so powerful. The defense of the Shattering Tiger King was astonishing. Even a Level 5 monster would find it difficult to break through it. ¡°Summon pet.¡± ¡°Thousand-faced Fox.¡± Level 2, Wind Blade Skill, Grade 5 Divine, Health Points: 10,000. It had a human face and fox ears, and it was handsome. It held a white sword in its hand and immediately rushed towards the Blood Asura. Its movement technique was elegant and very fast. Just as Blood Asura slashed a second time, the Thousand-faced Fox arrived. It waved its sword, and a gust of wind appeared. Then, it turned into wind blades, like shattered blades. There were a total of 13 blades that flew towards Blood Asura. Hiss! When Ye Chen saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat. Blood Asura had already sensed the attack. It quickly turned around and attacked the Thousand-faced Fox first. Capture the leader first. This Thousand-face Fox had a high Grade, so it had to be killed first. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Thunderbolt Saber in Blood Asura¡¯s hand was as fast as lightning, sending the wind blades flying and they quickly approached the Thousand-faced Fox. Slash! Critical hit! Bloodthirst. Her saber appeared and disappeared unpredictably, slashing at the Thousand-faced Fox¡¯s back at an extremely tricky angle. Blood splattered as its health plummeted. Li Li¡¯s expression changed drastically. This female pet was really terrifying. Her damage was so high. This slash actually caused the Thousand-faced Fox to lose 2,000 HP. ¡°All of you, come here!¡± ¡°Kill her first!¡± Li Li was also a little anxious and hurriedly shouted. The other two also summoned their pets. However, their pets were not of high Grade. They were all small pets and could only play support and harass at the side. Boom! Boom! The Pig Dragon rushed over and blocked the right side of the Blood Asura. The Mersnake also rushed over and blocked the left side. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chen had never been a soft-hearted person. If these guys dared to close the door and kill people, he would make sure that they could never return. Slash! Blood Asura attacked again and continued to attack the Thousand-faced Fox. At the critical moment, the Pig Dragon devoured the skills of the enemy pets. The Mersnake spat out venom and waved the long whip in its hand, constantly disturbing the enemy pets. Pfft! Blood Asura was like a tiger with wings, and its moves were even more unrestrained. ¡°Let¡¯s talk things out. Let¡¯s shake hands and make up.¡± ¡°Zhu Qiang, do you agree? Your father and I are good friends.¡± ¡°I know a place with many monsters. Only by joining forces can we level up quickly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Let¡¯s kill other monsters together.¡± ¡­ Li Li finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He saw that his Thousand-face Fox was covered in saber wounds, and it was even poisoned by the venom spat out by the Mersnake. Who could stand this? Her HP fell rapidly. ¡°Going back on your word now?¡± Ye Chen snorted and ordered Blood Asura to fight to the death. In any case, he had an alchemist to treat her and was not afraid of her being injured. ¡°Then let¡¯s fight to the death.¡± Li Li gritted his teeth with a ruthless expression. Since their pets were so powerful, as long as he killed these pets, his Thousand-face Fox would definitely be able to level up. The information in the Monster Chat Group had instructed that pets could also obtain experience points by killing each other. However¡­ The amount of experience was random. This could also prevent most humans from killing each other. Their first target was the monsters. The stronger Ye Chen¡¯s Blood Asura was, the more excited Li Li became. ¡°That pig can devour skills, so there must be a limit. Release all your skills to it now. I want to stuff it until it¡¯s a dead pig.¡± Li Li usually played games a lot. He knew that this Monster Chat Group was actually like a game. He immediately guessed this possibility and made arrangements. His Thousand-faced Fox could still persist. It was unrealistic to kill Blood Asura quickly, but it was easier to kill the Pig Dragon and the Mersnake first. Everyone followed Li Li¡¯s orders and began to attack Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo. Just as Li Li had said, Zhu Qiang¡¯s Pig Dragon was indeed stuffed very quickly. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Zhu Qiang screamed. The Pig Dragon had devoured too many skills. Because its talent had not awakened, it was very passive. The Mersnake¡¯s venom was also limited, and the Wind Leopard¡¯s Wind Wall skill restrained her performance. As long as she sprayed venom, it would be blocked by the wind wall. ¡°I can¡¯t block it anymore!¡± ¡°Come quickly!¡± Zhu Qiang had no choice but to shout and ask for help. Ye Chen ignored them and observed these pets. These people had to pay the price for stuffing up Zhu Qiang¡¯s Pig Dragon. He would do as they wanted and prevent the Pig Dragon and the Mersnake from participating in the battle, leaving him alone. ¡°Hold on.¡± At this moment, Ye Chen was controlling Blood Asura and still attacking Li Li¡¯s pet. The Shattering Tiger King¡¯s pet was not simple either. It was very fast and had already adapted to the rhythm of the battle. The attacks of the six of them landed crazily on the Pig Dragon and the Mersnake. Before long, the two of them could no longer hold on. Their pets also became dispirited. Zhu Qiang and the Mersnake were even more sleepy and were severely injured. A pet and its master were bound together for good or ill. ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first!¡± Ye Chen controlled the Blood Asura and forced the Shattering Tiger King back with a slash, quickly blocking in front of the Pig Dragon and the Mersnake. ¡°Brother Chen, can you do it?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Ye Chen reprimanded softly, ¡°How can a man say no? Find a chance to leave. Leave this to me.¡± Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo gritted their teeth and stepped back helplessly. Crack! Crack! The moment the two of them turned around, Ye Chen suddenly summoned the Alchemist and Dark Concubine. The two pets appeared and knocked Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo unconscious. Ah, this! Li Li and the others were stunned. What was going on? Wait. Why did he have three pets? Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Three pets? Li Li and the others were immediately stunned on the spot. Their brains could not react at all. What was going on? Didn¡¯t the Monster Chat Group say that each person could only bind one pet? Why could Ye Chen summon three? This didn¡¯t make sense. Was there still justice in this world? The moment the Alchemist appeared, she opened her mouth and spat out a flame. This was her skill. Fire Strike. Her flames were not ordinary flames and had great lethality. The two enemy pets at the front were immediately torched by the flames. As they screamed, their health kept decreasing. The fire damage would last for a few seconds. If the flames were not extinguished, a Level 1 monster would already be dead. ¡°Retreat quickly!¡± Li Li shouted with an extremely solemn expression. He realized that Ye Chen had been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Why are you still pretending when you have three pets? Just show them. Do we still dare to fight? ¡°Blood Asura!¡± Ye Chen ordered, ¡°Attack with all your might. Don¡¯t stop until they die.¡± ¡°Alchemist!¡± ¡°Activate talent.¡± ¡°Dark Concubine.¡± ¡°Protect the Alchemist.¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chen continuously gave orders. Blood Asura transformed into a scarlet light and used all her talent and skills. She almost left no defenses and attacked with all her might. The talent of the Alchemist was called Miracle Hand. It could heal from a distance. Dark Concubine was like an assassin, and her talent was the Sword Control Technique. The Sword Spirit in her hand appeared and disappeared, flying around the enemy pets. Most importantly, the Dark Concubine¡¯s sword control technique could be used to kill the owner of the pet. As such, the enemy¡¯s pets maintained a defensive posture at all times. As for their attacks? They were reduced greatly. ¡°A bunch of weaklings. They¡¯re easier to deal with than monsters.¡± Ye Chen sneered. ¡°Our pets are all Level 2, but their grades are different. There¡¯s a huge difference. The weakest of my three pets is at Grade 7. Whether it¡¯s their health or attack power, they¡¯re much stronger than you guys. With your little health, what are you? You¡¯re simply a piece of trash before a fighter jet.¡± Without Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo around, Ye Chen let himself go. With every slash of the Blood Asura, the Shattering Tiger King kept retreating and dodging. Most importantly, it still had to protect Li Li. As long as Blood Asura continued to attack Li Li, the Shattering Tiger King would definitely be stabbed. This was simply a guaranteed strike. There was no way to escape. Pfft! Li Li was so frightened that his face was pale. He only had one thought now: to escape quickly. Unfortunately. At this moment, a sword light appeared and suddenly slashed at his neck. ¡°Protect me!¡± Li Li did not think about anything else. He ordered the Shattering Tiger King to protect him. Roar! The Tiger King let out a deafening roar that made one feel dizzy. This was a group attack skill. Whether it was the enemy or his own side, they would be affected. Because of this, he rarely used it. Blood Asura was the closest and bore the brunt of the soundwave. The Thunderbolt Saber stopped for a moment. A sword appeared in front of Li Li. It was Dark Concubine¡¯s sword control technique. There was only a slight pause, and then it passed through. Blood splattered, and a bloody hole appeared in his neck. Li Li¡¯s eyes widened as he hurriedly covered his neck with both hands. Unfortunately, it was useless. Roar! The Shattering Tiger King let out a wail before its head was cut off by Blood Asura and it died. ¡°Brother Li!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°We¡¯re not his match!¡± ¡°Hurry up and run!¡± ¡­ The owner of the Lightning Leopard was the fastest and wanted to escape. Li Li had been killed. At this point, they had already recognized that Ye Chen was invincible. A freak with three pets was simply too ridiculous. Pfft! As soon as he turned around, a sword light appeared. Before he could leave any last words, his head flew up high. He could even see his body slowly falling. It was Dark Concubine¡¯s other sword. It was very elusive. She could not kill the pets with a single strike, but killing their owners was effortless. As the pet became stronger, the owner also became stronger. No matter how strong they became, the difference between the owner and the pet was still huge. Among Ye Chen¡¯s three pets, Dark Concubine¡¯s level was actually the highest. It was a Grade 8 Immortal Beast. When it evolved, it would grow the horns of Immortal Beasts. It was not very clear right now, but the potential of this pet was immeasurable. Although she was not very smart, she could tell that killing the pets¡¯ owners was the most convenient and efficient. The Shattering Tiger King and the Lightning Leopard had already died and they dropped a total of 100 experience points. Dark Concubine had successfully advanced. Ha! Ye Chen was overjoyed. Dark Concubine was also Level 2 now, and its lethality had increased greatly. Most importantly, its intelligence had increased. ¡°Kill the pets¡¯ controllers.¡± With a loud shout, Blood Asura and the Alchemist quickly took action. The two pets cooperated with each other and killed everyone in no time. Compared to Ye Chen, the enemy only had five people left. They were already scared out of their wits. They wanted to fight, but they did not have the strength. They wanted to escape, but they had no chance. Pu! Pu! Pu! Ye Chen gave the opportunity to give the last hits to the Alchemist so that she could quickly advance to Level 2. After a wave of battle, all the enemies were dead. Ye Chen let out a long breath and slowly sat down to check his pets. [Alchemist] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Fire Strike Attributes: Fire Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Miracle Hand (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 60/1,000 [Blood Asura] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 580/1,000 [Dark Concubine] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Slash Attributes: Gold Level: Immortal Beast (Grade 8) Talent: Sword Manipulation Technique (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 1,000 Health: 17,000 Experience: 160/1,000 He was quite lucky this time and obtained a lot of experience points. The Alchemist and Dark Concubine both advanced to Level 2. Their combat strength increased, and so did their health. Most importantly, Blood Asura was only 420 experience points away from advancing to Level 3. ¡°Continue to look for demons.¡± He rested for a moment and ordered the Alchemist to treat Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo¡¯s injuries. The Pig Dragon and Mersnake were also treated. Before long, they were full of vigor. The moment they woke up, Dark Concubine and the Alchemist were recalled. Only Blood Asura held the Thunderbolt Saber and the tip of the saber dripped with blood as she protected Ye Chen. ¡°Aiya!¡± ¡°Why does my head hurt a little?¡± Zhu Qiang woke up and rubbed his neck, puzzled. Lin Nuo was the same. Then, they hurriedly looked at the scene and realized that everyone and their pets had been killed. Their eyes widened. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± ¡°You killed them all?¡± They found it unbelievable and quickly ran to Blood Asura, almost drooling. What Grade was this pet? It was simply terrifying. Ye Chen was even more monstrous. One person and one pet, against seven people and seven pets, he was not injured at all. Instead, he killed all of them. If news of this spread, many people would probably be frightened to death. Ye Chen did not answer. He pointed at a distant corner and said indifferently, ¡°That Undead Spirit Earth Dragon is yours.¡± ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen.¡± ¡°Charge!¡± Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo stopped asking. After all, everyone had secrets. They controlled the Pig Dragon and the Mersnake to rush towards the trembling Undead Spirit Earth Dragon. Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The Undead Spirit Earth Dragon cowered at the side and trembled as it looked at the two of them, its eyes filled with fear. Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo did not hesitate too much. Their pets¡¯ injuries had long recovered. It was naturally not a problem to deal with a small Undead Spirit Earth Dragon. In less than a moment, the battle ended. Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo came to Ye Chen¡¯s side and asked, ¡°Brother Chen, where are we going next?¡± Looking at the spoils of war all over the ground, Ye Chen could not help but be a little stunned. How many people had Li Li and the others killed? In order to prevent the battle from attracting others, Ye Chen, Zhu Qiang, and the other two quickly cleaned up the battlefield. Then, the three of them hurriedly left. After leaving the abandoned warehouse, the three of them came to the street. The streets here were already deserted, and many cars by the roadside were still burning. ¡°I wonder what that Level 9 monster has become.¡± Ye Chen thought to himself that if he could kill it, he would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of experience to level up his pet. Now that this world had just become like this, everything had happened too suddenly. Humans had yet to adapt and come up with proper responses. Perhaps after a while, the humans would establish a new order in this world. At that time, everything would depend on strength. Then, Ye Chen said his thoughts and suggested forming his own team. Zhu Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this. He smiled and said, ¡°This is a good thing. In reality, I¡¯m just a stinky loser with nothing. Now, the heavens have given me a chance to turn things around. Moreover, Brother Chen, you¡¯re so awesome. If we follow you in the future, we¡¯ll definitely stand out!¡± With that, Zhu Qiang looked at Ye Chen like a fangirl. At the side, Lin Nuoyi frowned. This was because once this happened, girls like her would be easily hurt. It would be even more dangerous. The two of them could tell that something was wrong with Lin Nuoyi. Before Ye Chen could speak, Zhu Qiang said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯ll protect you in the future.¡± ¡°You should take care of yourself first.¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± Zhu Qiang¡¯s laughter suddenly stopped, and the three of them instantly stopped in their tracks. That was because a huge creature had appeared in front of them. [Six-Horned Heavenly Bull] Level: Level 6 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Hexagonal Star Formation Attributes: Light Talent: Hexagon Reincarnation (Unawakened) Combat Strength: 600 Health: 5,000 Note: The six horns on the head of the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull can emit a strange light, forming a hexagonal array. When enveloped by the array, one will directly turn into a corpse. The few of them looked at the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull¡¯s information and could not help but be secretly shocked. It was another attack-type monster. The Six-Horned Heavenly Bull was five meters tall, and its eyes were like green jewels. Six sharp horns were lined up on the top of its head. Every sharp horn emitted a strange light. Its physique was also very muscular. The fur on its body was like a thick layer of armor. At this moment, the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull was gnawing on a cat-shaped pet. When it sensed someone coming, it turned around and looked at Ye Chen and the other two. A ball of hot air erupted from his nostrils. Lin Nuo said loudly, ¡°This is a tank-type warrior. Its health bar is so thick!¡± Zhu Qiang smiled disdainfully and said, ¡°As long as it has a health bar, even a god will die!¡± Ye Chen immediately came up with a strategy. ¡°Zhu Qiang, get Pig Dragon to harass it. Lin Nuoyi, assist from the side!¡± Their pets were instantly summoned. The Pig Dragon snorted and rushed towards the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull. The Mersnake twisted her charming body and came to the side of the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull, spitting out venom. The Six-Horned Heavenly Bull was irritable by nature. It used Bull¡¯s Charge and charged towards the Pig Dragon. The two of them were extremely fast and were about to collide with each other. ¡°Go!¡± Ye Chen immediately summoned Blood Asura. Blood Asura held the Thunderbolt Saber, and the canines at the corner of her mouth flickered with white light. She looked at the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull in front of her excitedly. Blood Ashura liked to deal with such stupid monsters the most. Then, her figure flashed like a ghost, turning into a blood shadow that rushed towards the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull. ¡°Wu!¡± Blood Asura jumped to the top of the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull and let out an excited roar. Then, she slashed down with the Thunderbolt Saber. -700! The Pig Dragon had already collided with the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull. After all, there was a difference in size and level. The Pig Dragon was sent flying dozens of meters. However, the toughest part of the Pig Dragon¡¯s body was its skull, so it did not lose much health. However, the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull also did not lose much HP. -50! At the side, the Mersnake was still spraying venom at the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull. -40! -60! -75! The Mersnake¡¯s attack was that the longer the poison lasted, the more health it would lose. However, after the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull suffered a blow from the Blood Asura, it was clearly in pain. It knew that the most difficult person to deal with was the Blood Asura in front of it. The Six-Horned Heavenly Bull looked at the Blood Asura in the air. Its green eyes suddenly turned strange red, and its body changed. Its fur also emitted a faint red light. Like a horse, it raised its front hooves and let out a fierce roar. Then, the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull charged towards Blood Asura. Unfortunately, Blood Asura could fly and could not be injured at all. Blood Asura did not hesitate much and slashed down again. -400! ¡°Eh?¡± Ye Chen was a little stunned when he saw the health bar that fell. This slash was clearly stronger than the previous one. Why did it only lose 400 HP! However, Ye Chen quickly understood that all of this should be related to the red light on its body. The red light on the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull¡¯s body definitely had a reason for its existence. If Ye Chen¡¯s guess was right, it should be able to increase its defense. It was precisely because of this that the slash did not chop away too much HP. Blood Asura also sensed that something was wrong with the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull. At this moment, the Pig Dragon was accumulating strength and waiting to attack again. The Pig Dragon activated its skill and charged forward. The armor-like thing on his head changed into a sharp horn and attacked the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull. The Six-Horned Heavenly Bull also saw the Pig Dragon¡¯s attack, but it did not care. It continued to stare at Blood Asura with its blood-red eyes. A long time had passed. Ye Chen shouted to the Blood Asura, ¡°Blood Asura, end the battle quickly!¡± When the Blood Asura heard Ye Chen¡¯s order, it attacked the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull again. A bolt of lightning appeared on the body of the Thunderbolt Saber. Blood Asura held the Thunderbolt Saber with both hands and slashed it ruthlessly at the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull¡¯s head! -800! Although this slash was a critical hit, it only reduced 800 HP! At this moment, the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull¡¯s health had already decreased by more than half. Perhaps it was the attack of the Blood Asura that caused the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull pain, or the harassment of the Pig Dragon and the Mersnake that annoyed it. The Six-Horned Heavenly Bull let out a fierce roar. Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Immediately! Steam rose from the Six-Horned Divine Ox¡¯s nostrils. Its entire body changed! The Six-Horned Heavenly Bull¡¯s body suddenly grew, and the six horns on its head changed drastically. The six horns became abnormally thick, and the tips of the horns emitted a strange light. Ye Chen could clearly feel that the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull was stronger now. ¡°Blood Asura, be careful!¡± Suddenly! The six horns on the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull¡¯s head condensed together, and a beam of light shot towards the Blood Asura. Ye Chen hurriedly controlled Blood Asura to dodge, and the light also chased after Blood Asura. This fellow could actually move and release skills. Zhu Qiang shouted. ¡°Brother Chen, let me help you!¡± Then, the Pig Dragon snorted twice. The Pig Dragon¡¯s two front claws rubbed against the ground violently. Then, it closed its eyes and rushed towards the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull. ¡°The pig suddenly charged forward and knocked it over!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The Six-Horned Heavenly Bull fell to the ground. The Pig Dragon¡¯s attack was not weak. It actually knocked the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull over. As the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull fell to the ground, the light disappeared. ¡°Go!¡± A red light suddenly emitted from Blood Asura¡¯s body. In a flash, it arrived above the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull. The Thunderbolt Saber slashed down! Critical hit! -1,300! The Six-Horned Heavenly Bull¡¯s health suddenly decreased greatly. Another strike followed! -1,300! His HP suddenly dropped to the bottom. The Six-Horned Heavenly Bull disappeared, and a pile of spoils of war appeared. [Congratulations on killing the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull. You have received 30 points.] Experience +60. [Blood Asura] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 640/1,000 Ye Chen also obtained some experience points. ¡°It¡¯s out!¡± Zhu Qiang excitedly brought Pig Dragon and ran towards the loot. Then, Ye Chen and Lin Nuoyi also rushed over. However, Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi did not touch the loot. Instead, they waited for Ye Chen to come and distribute them. [White Treasure Chest, two bottles of small life potions, Horn of Light, Helmet of Light Fragment x1] [Minor Health Potion: Recovers 1,000 health instantly. Note: It can be used by pets and warriors.] [Sky Splitting Spear Fragment x1: Collect 100 fragments and you can synthesize the original form of the Sky Splitting Spear.] Note: The Horn of Light can be used on horn-type and venom-toothed creatures. When casting spells, it has the ability to increase one¡¯s vitality and defense. Note: Helmet of Light. Collect 19 fragments. Can be synthesized into a Helmet of Light. Can resist some light attribute attacks. ¡°Brother Chen, how do we split this?¡± Ye Chen looked at the loot and said, ¡°You can choose first.¡± Lin Nuoyi looked at the Horn of Light and said, ¡°I want this Horn of Light. Coincidentally, my Mersnake¡¯s skill is Poison Fang. The Mersnake can use it.¡± Ye Chen nodded in agreement. Zhu Qiang curled his lips and looked at the remaining three items. He said helplessly, ¡°There¡¯s nothing suitable for me here. I just want that white treasure chest and a bottle of Life Potion!¡± Ye Chen nodded and put away all the other things, especially the Heaven Splitting Spear Fragment. As long as he gathered them, he could obtain a powerful weapon. He was looking forward to this. After tidying up, Ye Chen said. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Then, the three of them left quickly. On the way, Ye Chen frowned and said, ¡°Did you notice that when my Blood Asura attacked the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull, its damage became much lower?¡± Lin Nuoyi immediately said. ¡°That¡¯s right. My Mersnake¡¯s venom has also weakened a lot.¡± However, Zhu Qiang said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. I feel that the damage done by my Pig Dragon is still the same when dealing with it.¡± Ye Chen frowned and did not speak. Lin Nuoyi suddenly said, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s because of the attribute suppression? Your Blood Asura has the dark attribute, my Mersnake has the poison attribute, and that Six-Horned Heavenly Bull has the light attribute. Because of this, our pet¡¯s damage was reduced.¡± Ye Chen agreed. ¡°That¡¯s right. Just like how we usually play games, water restrains fire and fire restrains wood. Zhu Qiang¡¯s Pig Dragon is of the earth attribute, so it¡¯s naturally not affected.¡± Lin Nuoyi nodded. Ye Chen was very shocked in his heart. When his Blood Asura fought against the Six-Horned Heavenly Bull, its damage was reduced by 20%. What kind of concept was this? It had to be known that if he faced other humans with the same pet abilities, just the suppression of one attribute could determine the outcome. Fortunately, he had three pets with different attributes. He did not have to be restrained in the future. It seemed that concentrating on a pet alone was still not enough. Ye Chen had already planned in his heart that he would use his pets flexibly in future battles. The most important thing now was to quickly increase their strength. Many people in this area had already raised their pets to a higher level. After all, in this world, there were not only monsters to be wary of, but also other humans. At this moment, Zhu Qiang asked, ¡°Where are we going next?¡± Ye Chen looked at Lin Nuoyi. This time, it was Lin Nuoyi¡¯s turn to point the way. Lin Nuoyi thought for a moment and said, ¡°I know a villa area where rich people live. I used to live there too.¡± Zhu Qiang curled his lips and said with a smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Lin Nuoyi to be a rich lady before! A rich little rich woman.¡± Ye Chen said, ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up!¡± The three of them did not say anything else and rushed towards the villa area. This was because after killing the monsters, his strength would also increase. The three of them ran very quickly. Soon, they arrived at the periphery of the villa. There were indeed many monsters here, and monsters ran rampant inside. Fortunately, this was a villa area. Be it defense or security, they were all top-notch. There was a defensive building in the villa area that was abnormally firm. All the residents were hiding inside. There were not many casualties among the residents inside. This was the life of a rich person. Because they were afraid of death, they bought a villa. Ye Chen looked inside and said. ¡°The highest level of monster here is Level 7. I wonder what kind of monster it is. Everyone, be careful!¡± Lin Nuoyi and Zhu Qiang nodded and perked up. Their pets were also summoned. The first thing Ye Chen and the other two stared at was the three-eyed monster eating a python not far ahead. It had to be said that rich people were really different from others. They actually raised pythons at home. This python was not small. In the past, it would have been a relatively terrifying thing. But now, it could only be a spicy strip for the monsters. [Three-Eyed Monster] Level: Level 4 Technique: Three Eyes Condensation Attributes: Earth Combat Strength: 800 Health: 3,700 Talent: Three-Eyed Divine Light (Unawakened) Note: The Three Eyes Condensation technique contains soul damage. If one is hit by the skill, their consciousness will temporarily disappear. Their health will be reduced to 1% and they will have no resistance. Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At this moment, the Three-Eyed Monster tore off the python¡¯s head and stuffed it into its mouth. This fellow¡¯s mouth was almost open to the ears. The monster was three meters tall, had strong limbs, and had a tiger-like tail behind it. It was covered in gray fur and looked a little dirty. However, this thing looked very terrifying. There were three eyes on the face and one eye on the nose. It was an inverted triangle. It looked abnormally strange. It had a bloody mouth. Ye Chen looked at Lin Nuoyi and said, ¡°Nuoyi, this thing is too ugly. If you¡¯re afraid, you can step aside.¡± Ye Chen took care of the only girl in the team. After all, Ye Chen did not take a Level 4 monster seriously. Lin Nuo stared at the Three-Eyed Monster and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m not afraid!¡± Ye Chen nodded and said, ¡°Move out!¡± The three of them quickly darted forward. Zhu Qiang stood at the front and summoned the Pig Dragon. The Pig Dragon suddenly appeared and landed heavily on the ground. Although this little thing did not look big, it was very heavy. At this moment, Lin Nuoyi had already dodged to the side and hid behind a wall. The Mersnake was standing on the wall. Ye Chen stood behind him, and Blood Asura suddenly appeared, holding the Thunderbolt Saber. The Three-Eyed Monster sensed the commotion and put down the python that it was eating and turned around. When it saw Ye Chen and Zhu Qiang, it suddenly roared and pounced at them. ¡°Go!¡± Zhu Qiang controlled the Pig Dragon and suddenly attacked. This Pig Dragon was of the earth attribute and was very good at concealment. Its ever-changing fur was very suitable for hiding. The Pig Dragon suddenly appeared. It was still the same old move. It closed its eyes and charged forward. The strike landed on the Three-Eyed Monster¡¯s chest. The Three-Eyed Monster was knocked back. Lin Nuoyi¡¯s Mersnake also took action and sprayed venom on the Three-Eyed Monster. Ye Chen also waited for an opportunity to attack. Blood Asura held the Thunderbolt Saber and slashed forward. The Three-Eyed Monster¡¯s health was not high, and Blood Asura directly killed it with two strikes. -1500 -1600 The Three-Eyed Monster instantly died, and a few light spots appeared on the ground. They were all Realm equipment that had fallen. [Congratulations, your pet has obtained 40 experience points.] [Blood Asura] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 680/1,000 ¡°Zhu Qiang, quickly collect the loot!¡± Ye Chen was afraid that the sound of the battle would attract other monsters. They could not stay here after the battle. Then, the three of them quickly left the battlefield. Five minutes after they left, three monsters arrived. The monsters only glanced at the dead Three-Eyed Monster before eating its unfinished python. At this moment, the three of them had already arrived at the interior of the villa. There were not many monsters here, but their levels were at least Level 6. These monsters seemed to have territorial consciousness. There could only be one strongest monster in an area, so Ye Chen deduced this conclusion. ¡°Most of the monsters here are at Level 5 or 6, so there must be a Level 7 one here. Everyone, be careful!¡± Zhu Qiang was shocked and could not help but be a little afraid. From beginning to end, he had never killed a Level 7 monster. Brother Chen¡¯s Blood Asura should be able to kill it? ¡°Level 7. Should we run?¡± Ye Chen rolled his eyes at Zhu Qiang and did not say anything. Zhu Qiang laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment. The three of them hid behind a broken wall and watched the situation. In a mansion in front of them, two monsters were fighting over a goat. [Single-Horned Bug] Level: Level 5 Skill: Single Horned Sharp Strike Combat Strength: 950 Health: 4,000 [Pig Horse Beast] Level: Level 5 Skill: Horse¡¯s Mouth Roar Combat Strength: 950 Health: 3,500 The Single-Horned Bug was a huge insect. Its body was covered in a thick layer of exoskeleton, and it looked very fleshy. The Pig Horse Beast was a monster with the body of a pig and the head of a horse. It looked relatively strong. The two monsters were fighting each other. The two of them had only consumed less than half of each other¡¯s HP. Clearly, the Pig Horse Beast had a portion of the advantage. Although the Single-Horned Bug was fleshy, its attack power was extremely low, and its attack method was extremely monotonous. It could only rely on that horn to cause damage to the Pig Horse Beast. Zhu Qiang could not help but laugh when he saw this. ¡°This is good. We can sit back and reap the benefits.¡± Ye Chen nodded. He would gain a lot without having to fight. He could do this. A moment later, both of them had less than a thousand HP. Ye Chen said, ¡°The two of you kill that Pig Horse Beast and split the experience. I¡¯ll deal with the Single-Horned Bug!¡± The two of them nodded immediately. Then, Ye Chen was the first to act. When Blood Asura smelled the blood, it was instantly excited. It held the Thunderbolt Saber and rushed out. Blood Asura arrived above the Single-Horned Bug and killed it. Zhu Qiang and the other two quickly ended their battle as well. After packing up the loot, the three of them quickly left the battlefield. This time, Blood Asura received 60 experience points, while Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuo each received 30 experience points. Zhu Qiang could not help but say excitedly, ¡°If only we could encounter this often. It¡¯s completely effortless!¡± Ye Chen also smiled. Lin Nuoyi took out something excitedly. It was a purple treasure chest. Zhu Qiang immediately shouted excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s actually a purple treasure chest. Give it to me quickly. I like to open treasure chests the most!¡± Zhu Qiang looked at the box like a gambler and shouted excitedly. Lin Nuoyi looked at Ye Chen, who nodded. Since this Pig Horse Beast only dropped this one item, Lin Nuoyi naturally had to ask Ye Chen for his opinion. Seeing that Ye Chen agreed, Zhu Qiang took the treasure chest and immediately opened it. The way this box was opened was rather strange. It was almost the same as in a game. A purple light spread out from the box. Then, three things appeared in the air. [Demon God Armor Fragment x1: Collect 108 fragments. Can be synthesized into a piece of the Demon God Armor. Note: There are a total of five pieces of the Demon God Armor: helmet, armor, pauldrons, knee guards, and boots.] [Pig Head Pill x1: Suitable for pig-type creatures. After consuming the Pig Head Pill, the pig-type creature¡¯s size will increase by five times and combat strength will increase by one fold.] [Horsetail Silk: Consumable. It can wrap around the enemy. The higher the level, the shorter the binding time.] The three of them looked at the three items. Ye Chen had already thought about how to distribute them. ¡°This Pig Head Pill belongs to Zhu Qiang. Coincidentally, his Pig Dragon can use it. The Horsetail Silk belongs to Lin Nuoyi. At the critical moment, she can protect herself. I¡¯ll take this Demon God Armor fragment. How about that?¡± The two of them naturally had no objections. Ye Chen still had a doubt in his heart. He really wanted to know how the Demon God Armor fragments dropped. At this moment, Ye Chen really wanted to collect this Demon God Armor to increase his strength. Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations From the Pig Head Pill and Ponytail Silk, it could be seen that these two items were related to the Pig Horse Beast. Thinking of this, Ye Chen decided to target monsters related to Blood Asura, Dark Concubine, and the Alchemist. However, his three pets were all pets with high Grades. It was not easy to find equipment that matched them. Ye Chen and the other two were about to arrive at the shelter. As soon as they arrived nearby, they heard a violent collision. ¡°Stop!¡± Ye Chen suddenly said. Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi stopped. They looked at Ye Chen in confusion. Ye Chen did not speak. He listened carefully to the sound not far away and said, ¡°From the sound of it, there are at least eight monsters ahead!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± The two of them were stunned. Lin Nuoyi asked, ¡°Then what should we do?¡± Zhu Qiang still looked the same. ¡°What do you mean? Run!¡± Ye Chen said. ¡°Let¡¯s go and see what¡¯s going on first.¡± Ye Chen was the captain. The two of them obeyed his words and continued walking towards the shelter. At this moment, the villa area had already become a monster paradise. The surrounding buildings had long become broken walls. The air was filled with the smell of burning. Some naturally huge monsters were rummaging through the ruins, trying to find corpses. The originally high-end marble road in the villa had long been smashed into gravel. In the middle of the villa area, the defense level was also quite high. The three of them arrived at the periphery of the shelter and hid behind an abandoned car to observe the situation inside. Just as Ye Chen had said, there were eight monsters around the shelter. At this moment, they were attacking the shelter. There were hundreds of people hiding in the shelter. At this moment, they were cowering in the shelter, their eyes filled with fear as they trembled and shouted. These people did not have pets, so they were naturally helpless against the monsters. After observing for a moment, he received a notification about the eight monsters. [Four-Winged Pegasus] Level: Level 6 Technique: Hurricane Combat Strength: 1,000 Health: 3,700 [Four-Eyed Giant Lizard] Level: Level 6 Technique: Tongue Flick Combat Strength: 1,020 Health: 3,040 [Long-legged Chicken] Level: Level 5 Technique: Sharp Edge Combat Strength: 940 Health: 2,800 [Tiger Silver Mink] Level: Level 6 Technique: Tiger Tail Combat Strength: 1,100 Health: 4,000 ¡­ Looking at the information about the eight monsters, the three of them gasped. Among these eight monsters, there were actually five Level 6 ones, especially the Tiger Silver Mink. Not only was its combat strength high, but its health bar was also thick. The three of them instantly felt pressured. It was clearly unrealistic to deal with these eight monsters at the same time. ¡°Brother Chen, let¡¯s run!¡± Zhu Qiang tugged at Ye Chen¡¯s clothes. They could not fight, but they could escape. Ye Chen was unmoved as he thought of a way to deal with the situation. Escaping was not his style. Since he had encountered so many monsters, he naturally had to fight. After all, he had three pets and they needed a lot of experience. However, if he wanted to deal with these eight monsters, he could only choose to destroy them one by one. Then, Ye Chen thought of a solution. That was to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Ye Chen said, ¡°I have an idea!¡± ¡°What idea?¡± ¡°Lure the tigers away from the mountain and destroy them one by one!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Zhu Qiang exclaimed. Ye Chen continued. ¡°Let¡¯s send someone to lure one of the monsters out and we¡¯ll deal with it together!¡± ¡°Will this work?¡± Lin Nuoyi asked curiously. She was afraid that it would not be one but several monsters that would be lured out. Ye Chen shook his head and said, ¡°No problem. These monsters are not brainless. The Level 6 monsters in this area are all here. The other monsters nearby are all Level 4 or 5. When Level 6 monsters fight, the other monsters don¡¯t dare to approach. This way, we can ensure that we can fight them one-on-one and not be disturbed by other monsters.¡± The two nodded in understanding. Lin Nuoyi thought for a moment and felt that this method was feasible. She said, ¡°That¡¯s good too. It¡¯s not like we haven¡¯t dealt with Level 6 monsters before. It¡¯s just that the Level 6 monsters here are clearly much stronger than that Six-Horned Heavenly Bull.¡± Zhu Qiang immediately said anxiously, ¡°Brother Chen, I understand everything you¡¯re saying. But who¡¯s going to lure them?¡± Zhu Qiang asked the question he was most concerned about. Unexpectedly, Lin Nuoyi and Ye Chen both turned to look at him with evil smiles. Zhu Qiang¡¯s expression changed drastically. ¡°Brother Chen, Sister Nuoyi, this! This isn¡¯t appropriate. You all know that I can¡¯t run fast!¡± Lin Nuoyi giggled. ¡°I don¡¯t agree with you. Aren¡¯t you always the fastest when it comes to running?¡± Ye Chen also said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Zhu Qiang. It won¡¯t be a problem. Your Pig Dragon knows how to burrow into the ground. You just need to let the Pig Dragon attract them and run away with the monster chasing it.¡± Zhu Qiang looked troubled and did not speak. Lin Nuoyi frowned and rolled her eyes. ¡°Zhu Qiang, are you afraid?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s afraid! You all know that I¡¯m the bravest. I¡¯ll go!¡± Zhu Qiang patted his chest and pretended to be relaxed. ¡°Then, let¡¯s do it!¡± Zhu Qiang immediately stood up, and then the Pig Dragon instantly landed on the ground and snorted. The Pig Dragon looked relatively simple and honest, very similar to a little suckling pig. The only difference was that the Pig Dragon had a pair of dragon horns on its head, and its pig tail was also replaced by a dragon tail. Its limbs were embedded with the sharp claws of a dragon. The fur on its body also formed a set of armor. The Pig Dragon was clearly a tank and warrior-type monster. Its could withstand a beating. Zhu Qiang stood up and said, ¡°Which one do you want to attract?¡± ¡°If we¡¯re going to fight, we¡¯ll have to fight the strongest one first. That Tiger Silver Mink.¡± Zhu Qiang looked at the two-story-tall Tiger Silver Mink and was speechless. Is it too late for me to regret it now? However, Zhu Qiang still gritted his teeth and stomped his feet before walking over with the Pig Dragon. When he arrived beside the Silver Tiger Mink, Zhu Qiang said to the Pig Dragon, ¡°Little Pig, go!¡± The Pig Dragon took a deep breath, and its stomach instantly became round. Then, with a snort, it suddenly attacked. The Pig Dragon rammed against the Tiger Silver Mink¡¯s butt. The Tiger Silver Mink felt a little pain and turned to look at the Pig Dragon. The Pig Dragon stood under the Silver Tiger Mink and kept grunting at it. It was obvious that it was not saying anything good. He seemed to be cursing. Seeing the Pig Dragon¡¯s annoying appearance, the Tiger Silver Mink was instantly furious. Without hesitation, it slapped down. Zhu Qiang hurriedly shouted, ¡°Pig Dragon, run!¡± Then, the Pig Dragon dived into the ground and fled south with Zhu Qiang. The Tiger Silver Mink was indeed tricked. It chased after the Pig Dragon immediately. Seeing this, Ye Chen hurriedly said, ¡°Quick, follow them!¡± Lin Nuoyi followed Ye Chen and ran in the direction of the Tiger Silver Mink. Blood Asura floated on Ye Chen¡¯s left shoulder. Its body was light, as if it was riding the wind, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. Ten minutes later, Zhu Qiang arrived at the place Ye Chen had mentioned and stopped. This was a garden, and also the intersection between the outer and inner areas. Here, they could ensure that no other monsters would disturb them. The Pig Dragon suddenly crawled out of the ground and stood in front of Zhu Qiang. Zhu Qiang had never mistreated this Pig Dragon before. He gave all the delicious food to the Pig Dragon and it swore to protect Zhu Qiang even if it died. Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Faced with the threat of the Tiger Silver Mink, the Pig Dragon did not show any fear and stood straight in front of Zhu Qiang. The Tiger Silver Mink was very angry and roared at the two of them. Zhu Qiang shouted, ¡°Brother Chen, Brother Chen, come quickly!¡± Ye Chen and Lin Nuoyi had already rushed over. Blood Asura did not hesitate at all and instantly arrived above the head of the Silver Tiger Mink. With the Thunderbolt Saber in hand, she slashed down, and a deep wound appeared on the Tiger Silver Mink¡¯s body. -700 The Tiger Silver Mink was furious. It turned around angrily and looked at Blood Asura. Blood Asura was very excited when facing this big fellow. It landed on the Tiger Silver Mink and slashed a few more times. -200 ¨C300 -200 Just as Blood Asura was enjoying herself, a roar sounded. Blood Asura was beside the Silver Tiger Mink¡¯s mouth. The ear-piercing sound made Blood Asura hurriedly cover her ears. The Thunderbolt Saber fell to the ground. ¡°Blood Asura, be careful!¡± Ye Chen hurriedly shouted. Before Blood Asura could react, the Tiger Silver Mink¡¯s sharp claws grabbed at her. Blood Asura sensed the danger and hurriedly retreated. However, it was too late. Although Blood Asura took two steps back and dodged the Tiger Silver Mink¡¯s sharp claws, it was still struck by the Tiger Silver Mink¡¯s palm and fell to the ground. Blood Asura¡¯s health instantly fell from 15,000 to 14,000. This strike actually dealt 1,000 damage. Whoosh! A gust of wind sounded. The Tiger Silver Mink¡¯s tail flickered with light as it whipped towards Blood Asura. This was the skill of the Tiger Silver Mink. Tiger tail. Although the name was simple, it was extremely powerful. If Blood Asura was hit by this tiger tail, it would probably lose half its health. Zhu Qiang also felt that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, ¡°Pig Dragon! Hurry! Go!¡± Pig Dragon snorted and took a deep breath, instantly growing larger. The dragon horns on its head flickered as it charged forward. Now was the time for the Pig Dragon and the Tiger Silver Mink to compete in speed. If the Tiger Silver Mink¡¯s tail landed first, Blood Asura would definitely be crippled in this battle. If the Pig Dragon collided with the Tiger Silver Mink first, Blood Asura would be able to live. Lin Nuoyi looked at the Pig Dragon and the Tiger Silver Mink. She thought to herself that it was over! The speed of the tail was clearly faster than the Pig Dragon! At this moment! A ball of gas was released from behind the Pig Dragon, as if it was being pushed. Its speed increased several times. Its size also became much smaller. ¡°Bang!¡± The Pig Dragon was the first to take a step forward as it collided with the Tiger Silver Mink. The latter was knocked to the ground. -550 Lin Nuoyi and Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Ye Chen ran to the Blood Asura¡¯s side and took out a small blood potion to feed it. Blood Asura¡¯s health instantly returned to full. ¡°Pig Dragon! Well done! This nitrogen fart acceleration is too beautiful!¡± Zhu Qiang shouted excitedly. After receiving Zhu Qiang¡¯s praise, the Pig Dragon raised its head proudly and snorted. At this moment, Blood Asura had already recovered with full health. It picked up the Thunderbolt Saber again and rushed over. With monstrous anger, she was like a god of death returning. Lin Nuoyi said at the side, ¡°Ye Chen, Blood Asura is so rash. I¡¯m afraid something will happen. If it really doesn¡¯t work out, she can take a rest.¡± Ye Chen waved his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. No pet is a natural warrior. They still need to learn and accumulate experience. I think with this example, Blood Asura can learn a lot.¡± As Ye Chen had expected, Blood Asura had learned from its mistakes. In the battle with the Tiger Silver Mink, Blood Asura was constantly on guard against its attacks. It was no longer like before when she rushed up to fight in close combat. The furious Blood Asura¡¯s strength increased greatly, and the battle ended in less than five minutes. The Tiger Silver Mink lay weakly on the ground and turned into a pile of loot. Blood Asura did not return to Ye Chen¡¯s side first. Instead, she went to the Pig Dragon and stroked its head. The Pig Dragon closed its eyes in enjoyment and snorted. Through battle, the two pets had developed feelings for each other and increased their tacit understanding. Most importantly, as the number of battles increased, their intelligence was also clearly increasing. Lin Nuoyi couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°This Pig Dragon is really cute. Looks like we can¡¯t call it Pig Dragon anymore. We should call it Divine Power Little Fart Pig!¡± Pig Dragon was clearly not satisfied with this name and made a grunting sound in protest. The three of them came to the loot and sized them up. [Tiger Tail Sacred Medicine: Suitable for tail-type creatures. After consuming the Tiger Tail Sacred Medicine, the attack of the tail will be increased by five times.] [Tiger Skin Divine Robe: Conceal aura. It is ineffective against creatures above Level 10.] [Minor Health Potion: Recovers 1,000 health instantly. Note: It can be used by pets and warriors.] [Tiger Claw Fragment x1: Collect 18 Tiger Claw Fragments and you can synthesize them into an Elite Grade Tiger Claw.] Looking at the loot in front of him, Ye Chen said, ¡°Zhu Qiang contributed the most in this battle. Zhu Qiang will take two.¡± Zhu Qiang hurriedly said, ¡°No need, no need. You¡¯re the main combatant in our team. You should take two.¡± ¡°How about this? I didn¡¯t do much this time. It¡¯s two for each of you.¡± As soon as Lin Nuoyi expressed her stance, Ye Chen said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to refuse. As a member of the team, you have to receive some loot even if you didn¡¯t contribute. I¡¯m the captain. I have the final say!¡± Ye Chen¡¯s tone was unquestionable, so the two of them could only agree. Zhu Qiang took the Tiger Tail Sacred Medicine and the bottle of medicine. Ye Chen looked at Zhu Qiang unhappily. ¡°Did you do this on purpose?¡± Zhu Qiang chuckled and said, ¡°Brother Chen, these two are just right.¡± The drop rate of potions was very high. It was as if Zhu Qiang did not take anything. That was why Ye Chen said this. Ye Chen could only give up and put away the Tiger Claw Fragment. As for the Tiger Skin Divine Robe, he left it for Lin Nuoyi. Lin Nuoyi knew that this Tiger Skin Divine Robe was better than the Tiger Claw Fragments. After all, she did not know how long it would take to gather all the Tiger Claws. Ye Chen was deliberately giving in to her. Actually, Lin Nuoyi did not know that Ye Chen had a cheat called the Points Trading Hall. He could exchange for anything he wanted there. In this battle, Ye Chen obtained 30 points. Blood Asura also received 60 experience points. [Blood Asura] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 740/1,000 Blood Asura was still 260 experience away from leveling up. It seemed that he still needed to continue hunting monsters. After dealing with these monsters, she could definitely level up. The three of them returned to the shelter. After some adjustments, Zhu Qiang continued to attract the monsters. With the strongest Tiger Silver Mink dead, the remaining difficulty was much lower. Just like that, Ye Chen and the other two killed five monsters in a row. As they hunted, the three of them gradually cooperated better. After killing a Long-legged Chicken, there were only two monsters left in the shelter. However, when the three of them arrived at the shelter again, they realized that the shelter had already been destroyed by two monsters and they were preparing to prey on the humans inside. The human inside let out a heart-wrenching scream. ¡°Is there anyone here? Come and save us!¡± ¡°Save us, we have money!¡± ¡°We don¡¯t want to die!¡± ¡°One we¡¯re dead and there¡¯s no way to spend money. This is a tragedy!¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations One of them, a 47-year-old middle-aged man, was waving fiercely at the three of them. Lin Nuoyi¡¯s expression was a little off, but the two of them did not notice it. Zhu Qiang looked at the scene in front of him and said. ¡°Brother Chen, what should we do now? Should we save these people or not?¡± Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, ¡°We have to kill these two monsters anyway. Let¡¯s save these people.¡± Actually, Ye Chen did not have any hope for these people because even if he saved them, it would be difficult for them to survive in this world. Ye Chen said coldly, ¡°Prepare to attack!¡± There were only two monsters left in front of him. They were a Level 6 Stone Bird and a Level 5 Ice Worm. Blood Asura had already appeared. She was always ready to rush up. Blood Asura was born to be bloodthirsty and liked to plunder lives. Lin Nuoyi¡¯s Mersnake had already quietly surrounded him. Ye Chen found an opportunity and shouted. ¡°Go!¡± The three of them flashed quickly. A moment later, they arrived beside the two monsters. The Ice Worm was slow and had low attack power. It could be used as a secondary target. The Stone Bird was agile and it was more troublesome to fight it head-on. Hence, Ye Chen instructed the two of them to sneak an attack on the Stone Bird first. At this moment, the Stone Bird was forcefully destroying the remaining buildings and poking its head into a shattered hole. This was the moment! The figure of Blood Asura appeared, and the Thunderbolt Saber was quickly brandished! She slashed at the stone bird¡¯s neck! -900! The Mersnake spat out a smear of venom on the Stone Bird¡¯s injured neck. When the venom entered the bloodstream, the damage would be higher. -100! -90! -110! The Stone Bird let out a scream and tried to pull its head out. The Pig Dragon would not give it this chance. It snorted and jumped! ¡°Oink!¡± The Pig Dragon jumped onto the stone bird¡¯s neck and slammed forward. Its huge weight pressed down on the Stone Bird until it could not pull its head out. At this moment, Blood Asura¡¯s body glowed red again, and the Thunderbolt Saber was covered in lightning. Blood Asura used a skill. Critical hit! -1,300! The Stone Bird¡¯s health was not high. With just a few slashes, it was killed. Because the Stone Bird¡¯s movements were limited, the hunt this time was relatively easy. With the death of the Stone Bird, the three of them looked at the Ice Worm. This fellow looked like a round wooden barrel. It was short and fat. Its health was also a lot higher. The Mersnake was about to take action when she was stopped by Blood Asura. The corners of Blood Asura¡¯s mouth curled into a smile as she waved at the Mersnake. She gestured that she wanted to deal with this Ice Worm herself. Blood Asura liked these slow monsters with high HP the most. Blood Asura loved to torture and kill. Ye Chen knew what Blood Asura meant, so he said to the two of them, ¡°Let Pig Dragon and the Mersnake come back first. Leave this Ice Worm to Blood Asura.¡± The two of them nodded and summoned their pets back. Blood Asura did not hesitate at all. In a flash, it appeared in front of the Ice Worm. She held the Thunderbolt Saber and smiled at the Ice Worm. Shua! A bolt of lightning flashed. -600! Another flash of light. -600! At this moment, Blood Asura had already transformed into an afterimage and circled around the Ice Worm. The Ice Worm whined in pain. ¡°Meep!¡± The Ice Worm was furious. Raising its body slightly, a layer of ice gradually condensed on the Ice Worm¡¯s body. Then, the Ice Worm¡¯s body bloated rapidly and expanded. The ice on its body instantly transformed into ice swords that stabbed towards Blood Asura. Facing such an attack, Blood Asura did not take it seriously at all. Blood Asura¡¯s figure flickered again. The ice swords were exhausted, but Blood Asura was not injured at all. Buzz! Lightning flashed, and the Ice Worm died. Blood Asura chuckled and returned to Ye Chen¡¯s side. The Pig Dragon stood on the ground and looked at the Blood Asura floating on Ye Chen¡¯s left shoulder. It made a grunting sound. Its four little claws were also jumping around. Lin Nuoyi smiled and said, ¡°Looks like this Pig Dragon is completely convinced by your Blood Asura.¡± Ye Chen smiled. ¡°Zhu Qiang, go and collect the loot.¡± Hearing this, Zhu Qiang instantly perked up. At this moment. When the people in the shelter saw the monsters disappear, they hurriedly ran out. They had seen Ye Chen and the other two deal with the monsters just now. These people were all quite wealthy. The group ran to Ye Chen and the other two. One of the bald middle-aged men in his fifties said, ¡°Little Brother! Little Brother! Can you be my bodyguard? I¡¯ll give you money, as long as you give me a price! No matter how much it is!¡± ¡°I have money too. I have money too. How much do you want? Tell me!¡± Everyone wanted Ye Chen and the other two to be their bodyguards. Ye Chen could not help but laugh. ¡°Do you think money is still useful in this world?¡± Everyone was instantly speechless. At this moment, a fierce-looking middle-aged man in his early forties suddenly rushed up. In the next second, a black muzzle was pointed at Ye Chen¡¯s head. ¡°Quick! Give me your pet, or I¡¯ll shoot you!¡± These people were extremely cowardly. Ye Chen did not take the middle-aged man¡¯s threat seriously at all. In his eyes, these people were no different from those monsters. They were just used to being arrogant because they were rich. However, Ye Chen obviously would not indulge him. Before Ye Chen could take action, Zhu Qiang had already given the Pig Dragon an order. ¡°Bang!¡± The middle-aged man instantly fell to the ground, but the sound was not a gunshot. Instead, it was the sound of the Pig Dragon slamming into the man¡¯s chest. The Pig Dragon did not use much strength, but his bones had been broken and pierced into his internal organs. If no one saved him, he would be dead in half an hour at most. To dare to point a gun at Ye Chen was simply courting death. ¡°How dare you threaten my big brother! You¡¯re really courting death.¡± Zhu Qiang looked at the middle-aged man and said fiercely. Pig Dragon also snorted in agreement. Ye Chen said to the remaining people, ¡°Let¡¯s go quickly. If you want to leave later, you won¡¯t be able to!¡± Everyone was already scared silly. In the next second, they fled like a swarm of bees. Only a middle-aged man was left standing there. The middle-aged man looked straight at Lin Nuoyi. Before Ye Chen could speak. The middle-aged man came to Lin Nuoyi¡¯s side and said, ¡°Nuoyi, can you come with me? Stay by my side and protect me!¡± Ye Chen frowned instantly. Looking at the middle-aged man, he felt that this middle-aged man looked a little similar to Lin Nuoyi. Lin Nuoyi said nothing. She looked at the man with resentment. The man took two steps forward, preparing to approach Lin Nuoyi. Ye Chen stood in front of the man and blocked his path. The man immediately shouted, ¡°Get out of the way. I¡¯m looking for my daughter. It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Ye Chen was instantly stunned. ¡°Daughter?¡± Lin Nuoyi suddenly shouted, ¡°Leave! I¡¯m not your daughter, and you¡¯re not my father!¡± The man was instantly furious. ¡°What are you talking about! If you¡¯re not my daughter, then what are you?¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Zhu Qiang and Ye Chen were instantly stunned. They did not know much about Lin Nuoyi. The two of them were companions that Ye Chen had met along the way. They knew very little about each other¡¯s background. They only knew that Lin Nuoyi had lived here before and did not know that her father was still here. Lin Nuoyi shouted, ¡°I don¡¯t have a father like you! You¡¯re not my father!¡± Lin Nuoyi¡¯s father¡¯s name was Lin Yaodong. He did not look like a good person. Lin Yaodong pointed at Lin Nuoyi and shouted, ¡°Are you speaking human language? My blood flows in your body. If you¡¯re not my daughter, what are you!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a father like you! When I was three years old, you abandoned my mother for another woman. When I was ten years old, my mother died because she had no money to treat her illness. At that time, I no longer had anyone!¡± ¡°All these years, other than hitting me, what have you done to me!¡± Lin Yaodong was obviously a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He raised his hand and seemed like he wanted to hit Lin Nuoyi. It seemed that he was used to beating Lin Nuoyi up. Lin Nuoyi subconsciously raised her arm to block. However, the slap she imagined did not land. Looking up, she saw Ye Chen grabbing Lin Yaodong¡¯s raised hand tightly. Ye Chen did not stand on ceremony at all and kicked Lin Yaodong to the ground. ¡°Get lost! If you don¡¯t get lost, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Blood Asura floated in front of Lin Yaodong, the Thunderbolt Saber in her hand still emitting lightning. Lin Yaodong looked at Lin Nuoyi fiercely and turned to leave. Ye Chen came to Lin Nuoyi¡¯s side and comforted her. ¡°It¡¯s fine now.¡± Lin Nuoyi nodded. ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Ye Chen nodded. After this battle, the three of them had received a lot of experience. The Blood Asura was also about to level up. [Blood Asura] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 940/1,000 With 60 experience points more, Blood Asura could advance to Level 3. Just as Ye Chen and the others were about to split the loot¡­ Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, and the entire sky instantly darkened. The wind swept the gravel towards the three of them. Instantly, the entire sky seemed to be enveloped by dark clouds. Not far away, a dense black fog surged over. The three of them instantly became vigilant and stood close together. Blood Asura also had a bad feeling and flew back to Ye Chen¡¯s side. The Pig Dragon stood in front of them, lying on its stomach and roaring. Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the black fog in front of him. A moment later, the black fog arrived in front of everyone. Slowly. A figure walked out of the black fog. This creature was three meters tall and wore a black cloak. His white head was exposed, and his entire body was formed by a ball of black fog. There was not a piece of flesh on his body. His black cloak was covered in white bones, and he held a black scythe. On the black scythe was a blood-red eye, but there was no light on the red eye. It was like a dead eye. When they saw the monster, the three of them instantly perked up. [Black Mist Death God] Level: Level 7 Technique: Scythe Slash Attributes: Dark Combat strength: 1,500 Health: 5,700 Talent: Void Transformation (Unawakened) Note: The Black Mist Death God is a dark-attributed Elite monster. The Scythe Slash gathers the power of the black mist. If attacked by the Scythe Slash, one will enter a continuous state of loss of health. After reading the monster¡¯s information, Ye Chen could not help but gasp. From the information, this Black Mist Death God was clearly not an ordinary Level 7 monster. Ye Chen shouted in a low voice, ¡°Everyone, be vigilant. This monster is the strongest monster we¡¯ve encountered so far!¡± The two of them nodded immediately. Blood Asura was naturally sensitive to dark-attribute monsters. The moment she saw the Black Mist Death God, her fighting spirit instantly rose. Before Ye Chen could give his orders, Blood Asura had already rushed up. ¡°Swish!¡± In the blink of an eye, Blood Asura arrived above the Black Mist Death God. The Thunderbolt Saber was raised high, and the saber emitted the light of lightning. Then, the saber descended. The lightning attribute of the Thunderbolt Saber had a natural advantage against dark-attribute monsters. The black fog Death God seemed to have sensed danger and instantly took two steps back. Blood Asura¡¯s saber missed and she slashed down again. Her thin body seemed to have endless power. ¡°Zzpt!¡± The Thunderbolt Saber slashed across the head of the black fog Death God and emitted a thunderclap. Unexpectedly, the Black Mist Death God¡¯s figure flickered as he dodged Blood Asura¡¯s attack. Blood Asura was instantly furious. Her speed suddenly increased as she attacked the Black Mist Death God again. ¡°Hehehe!¡± The Black Mist Death God let out a strange laugh, and the black fog on his body suddenly floated towards Blood Asura. Blood Asura sensed that the black fog was sticky and suddenly landed on the ground. At this time, the Mersnake had also moved and spat out venom. However, the poison was white at this moment. It seemed that Lin Nuoyi had already equipped the Horn of Light for the Mersnake. The white venom sprayed on the Black Mist Death God, and his health began to decrease. -100 -110 -120 The Black Mist Death God seemed to be very disgusted by this white thing. His figure flickered again, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived beside the Mersnake. The dense black fog formed a huge hand. The Mersnake was sent flying dozens of meters away. ¡°Oink!¡± Accompanied by a pig¡¯s cry, the Pig Dragon quickly ran over with its eyes closed as it rushed towards the Black Mist Death God. Just as the Pig Dragon was about to collide with the black fog, the black fog instantly formed a fog wall that firmly blocked the Pig Dragon. The Pig Dragon¡¯s four little claws were still running on the ground, but it stopped in its tracks like a little wild boar that had been thrown to the ground. Blood Asura took the opportunity to come to the head of the black fog Death God and slashed down again. This saber landed firmly on the Black Mist Death God. -600. The Black Mist Death God hurriedly turned around when he was attacked. Black fog came out of his black eye sockets. Under the contrast of the black fog, it could be seen that the Black Mist Death God was already angry. Suddenly, the black fog on his body quickly dispersed, surrounding Blood Asura tightly. In the next moment, the black fog turned into threads and rushed towards Blood Asura. The Thunderbolt Saber was shrouded with lightning again. Blood Ashura held the Thunderbolt Saber and spun around. Every bolt of lightning that landed on the black fog weakened it a little. Blood Asura was still quite smart. She chose a relatively weak spot and used the Thunderbolt Saber to cut a gap. Then, Blood Asura crawled out of the gap and arrived in front of the Black Mist Death God in the blink of an eye. Another slash descended. -700! ¡°Wu!¡± The Black Mist Death God was angry. It was completely furious. He, the dignified Black Mist Death God, was a Level 7 monster! How could he endure being tortured by this Level 2 little fellow? Immediately, a violent wind blew! The black fog under the Black Mist Death God continuously rushed towards Blood Asura. Blood Asura held the Thunderbolt Saber in front of her to resist the black fog. ¡°Be careful!¡± Ye Chen shouted. In the black fog behind Blood Asura, a scythe appeared and slashed at her. Blood Asura turned around with a trace of fear in her eyes. Without any hesitation, she threw out the Thunderbolt Saber in her hand. The Thunderbolt Saber smashed onto the scythe with a collision sound. Chapter 20 - Ye Chen Attacks, Critical Strikes With Every Hit Chapter 20 Ye Chen Attacks, Critical Strikes With Every Hit The Thunderbolt Saber instantly shattered the scythe. This scythe was only formed by the black fog and was not the actual scythe. Blood Asura quickly retreated. The Black Mist Death God retracted all the black fog and the real scythe appeared in his hand. The scythe spun a few times in the Black Mist Death God¡¯s hand before charging towards the Blood Asura. Zhu Qiang shouted, ¡°Pig Dragon, seize the opportunity!¡± ¡°Oink!¡± A figure suddenly appeared. Pig Dragon accelerated and arrived beside the Black Mist Death God. Immediately after, it performed another Pig Charge. Shua! The Pig Dragon arrived beside the Black Mist Death God and bumped into its arm. Creak! The sound of bones cracking could be heard. -500! The white bones of the Black Mist Death God¡¯s left arm fell to the ground. ¡°Wuwuwu!¡± The Black Mist Death God was instantly furious. He raised his scythe and aimed it at the Pig Dragon! ¡°Pfft!¡± Pig Dragon sat on the ground and accelerated with another nitrogen fart, rising ten meters into the air. The scythe of the Black Mist Death God also missed. ¡°Good job, Pig Dragon!¡± Zhu Qiang looked at the Pig Dragon in the air and shouted. The Pig Dragon waved its four little hooves in the air, its transparent wings flapping. Unfortunately, its small wings could not support the weight of the Pig Dragon at all. The Pig Dragon snorted at Zhu Qiang in the air. Lin Nuoyi instantly understood what was going on and hurriedly said, ¡°Zhu Qiang, go and catch it!¡± Only then did Zhu Qiang react. If the Pig Dragon fell to the ground from that height, it would probably lose half its health. Zhu Qiang hurriedly ran over, but his speed was clearly much slower. It was obvious that he would not be able to catch the Pig Dragon in time. The Pig Dragon fell from the sky quickly. Lin Nuoyi hurriedly covered her eyes. Zhu Qiang stopped in his tracks, not daring to look. ¡°Oink, oink!¡± Pig Dragon let out a terrified cry. However, the expected sound of falling to the ground did not come. Zhu Qiang looked through his fingers and saw that Blood Asura had already caught the Pig Dragon. Pig Dragon lay in Blood Ashura¡¯s arms and looked at her with shining eyes. Blood Asura threw the Pig Dragon to the ground with a look of disgust and joined the battle with the Black Mist Death God again. Pig Dragon also ran over, looking abnormally excited. Even its speed could not help but increase. Blood Asura knew that they would not have the advantage if they dragged this on, so she directly activated her talent, Bloodthirst. Her attack power instantly increased. Her entire body was also emitting wisps of red light. Her originally clear eyes were now bloodshot. Once Bloodthirst was activated, the speed of her attacks were completely increased. In the blink of an eye, Blood Asura disappeared. When she reappeared, he was already at the back of the Black Mist Death God¡¯s head. -1,200! She slashed at the neck of the Black Mist Death God. Immediately, black fog emerged from the Black Mist Death God¡¯s neck. The Black Mist Death God¡¯s figure also shrank a little. The Black Mist Death God suddenly turned around and waved his scythe at Blood Asura again. Blood Asura dodged again. Just as she dodged to the side, the scythe of the Black Mist Death God slashed down again. When Lin Nuoyi saw this, he said, ¡°This Black Mist Death God seems to have become much faster!¡± Ye Chen also noticed this. In that case, there was only one possibility. If the Black Mist Death God shrank his body, his speed would also increase. ¡°Blood Asura, be careful! His speed has increased!¡± Of course, Blood Asura had also experienced it. There was no need to remind her. Red light flickered as Blood Asura flew quickly. Her figure surrounded the Black Mist Death God as she fought a guerrilla battle. Every time, Blood Asura would find an opportunity to stab the Black Mist Death God. -500! -700! -600! The Black Mist Death God¡¯s body gradually shrank, and he only had less than half of his HP left. If this continued, he would be exhausted to death by Blood Asura. The Black Mist Death God roared. The black fog under him exploded. In an instant, the sea of black fog firmly locked onto Blood Asura. The scythe in his hand also flew into the air. A ball of fog spewed out of the Black Mist Death God¡¯s mouth and enchanted the scythe. The blood eye on the scythe suddenly lit up. This was the skill of the Black Mist Death God. Scythe Slash! Ye Chen noticed that Blood Asura was in danger. Blood Asura grabbed the black fog with both hands and kicked her legs in the air, trying his best to struggle. ¡°Hehehe!¡± The Black Mist Death God let out a strange laugh. Then, the scythe slashed towards Blood Asura! When Pig Dragon saw this, it snorted angrily. Then, it charged forward and collided with the Black Mist Death God. At this moment, the Black Mist Death God no longer took the Pig Dragon seriously. This strike did not cause much damage to him. As expected. -600! The Pig Dragon¡¯s angry attack knocked away 600 HP of the Black Mist Death God. At this moment, the Black Mist Death God only had less than 1,000 HP left. Seeing this, Lin Nuoyi said in a daze, ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± Ye Chen quickly ran towards the Black Mist Death God and shouted at Blood Asura, ¡°Quick! Throw the Thunderbolt Saber to me!¡± When Blood Asura heard Ye Chen¡¯s voice, she instantly woke up from her shock. She hurriedly threw the Thunderbolt Saber to Ye Chen and Lin Nuoyi shouted anxiously. ¡°Ye Chen, be careful!¡± Although killing monsters would strengthen humans too, those enhancements were very little. But to Ye Chen, that was not the case. Ye Chen took the Thunderbolt Saber and jumped up, arriving above the Black Mist Death God. The Black Mist Death God had already noticed Ye Chen¡¯s arrival, but he did not take him seriously. He believed that this human was no threat to him. Ye Chen thought to himself, ¡°Use the Monster Critical Hit Card!¡± [Ding, successfully used] A powerful lightning power covered the entire Thunderbolt Saber. The Black Mist Death God instantly felt his heart palpitate. That was a premonition of death! The Black Mist Death God suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Chen in fear. He knew that if this saber slashed down, he would definitely die. The Black Mist Death God hurriedly controlled the scythe to slash at Ye Chen. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. -970! was The Black Mist Death God¡¯s health bar was instantly emptied. The black fog on his body instantly dissipated, and his head fell. A purple light lit up at the spot where the Black Mist Death God had died. [Congratulations on successfully using the Monster Critical Hit Card. You have received 140 points. All pets have received 140 experience points. Rare loot has been obtained!) [Reaper¡¯s Scythe xi: Suitable for dark-attribute creatures, Rare Grade) [Minor Life Potion x6] (Demon God Armor Fragment x2: Collect 108 fragments.

Note: There are a total of five pieces of the Demon God Armor: helmet, armor, pauldrons, knee guards, and boots.] (Hell Mystic Realm Key Fragment x3: Collect 18 fragments to combine into one key to open a mini Hell Trial Mystic Realm.] However, these things instantly appeared in Ye Chen¡¯s inventory. Lin Nuoyi and Zhu Qiang did not see them. These were the rewards Ye Chen had obtained from using the Monster Critical Hit Card. Only then did Ye Chen come to a realization. So this Monster Critical Hit Card was not a critical hit against monsters only, but a critical hit against loot as well. Immediately after, some items fell to the ground. (Minor Life Potion x6] (Black Fog Right Hand x1: Consumable. Can cause continuous damage to the enemy.) [Negative Cape: Increases movement speed by 0.5 times. Can be used by all pet warriors.] (Black Mist Potion: Consumable. The area where it is thrown will produce dense black fog. Lasts for a minute.) Chapter 21 - NPC Shop Appears Chapter 21 NPC Shop Appears These were the things that the Black Mist Death God had dropped. What made Ye Chen the happiest was the double experience points. Blood Asura had finally reached Level 3. (Blood Asura] Level: Level 3 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 1,400 Health: 23,000 Experience: 80/2,000 (Dark Concubine] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Slash Attributes: Gold Level: Immortal Beast (Grade 8) Talent: Sword Manipulation Technique (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 1,000 Health: 17,000 Experience: 300/1,000 (Alchemist): Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Fire Strike Attributes: Fire Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Miracle Hand (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 200/1,000 At this moment, Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi also rushed over. ¡°Brother Chen, are you alright?¡± Ye Chen shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Zhu Qiang looked at the dead Black Mist Death God and praised, ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re really awesome. You killed this Black Mist Death God in one strike. I admire you too much!¡± At this moment, Blood Asura changed. She half-knelt on the ground and pressed her hands on the ground to support her body. A pair of blood-colored bone wings grew out of her back. ¡°Blood Asura, has it evolved?¡± Zhu Qiang asked in surprise. Ye Chen nodded. After a while, Blood Asura stood up again and floated into the air, its speed much faster. It seemed that the blood wings had increased Blood Asura¡¯s speed. Ye Chen looked at the loot on the ground and said, ¡°Put these things away. Let¡¯s find a place to rest for the night.¡± The sky was gradually darkening. It was already seven in the evening. Fortunately, it was summer and the night arrived later. The three of them quickly found a villa that looked better and walked in. They locked the door. Ye Chen was afraid that the light would attract those monsters over. After pulling the curtains closed, he turned on the light. Fortunately, the circuit here was not destroyed. The three of them sat on the sofa in the living room while Zhu Qiang poured out the loot. There was not much. The three of them took what they could use. Zhu Qiang touched his stomach and said, ¡°I¡¯m a little hungry.¡± Then, Zhu Qiang stood up and rummaged through the villa. Fortunately, there was a lot of food. After the three of them ate and drank their fill, they lay on the sofa. The Mersnake snuggled in Lin Nuoyi¡¯s arms, but the Pig Dragon kept following Blood Shura around. From time to time, it would snort at the Blood Asura. At this moment, Ye Chen recalled the Reaper¡¯s Scythe he had just obtained and took it out. This scythe was suitable for dark-attribute pets, which happened to suit Blood Asura. Although the Thunderbolt Saber was of a high grade, it was not suitable for Blood Asura. The moment Blood Asura saw the Reaper¡¯s Scythe, her eyes lit up. Then, Blood Asura quickly came in front of Ye Chen and snatched the Reaper¡¯s Scythe. She played with the Reaper¡¯s Scythe lovingly. She floated in the air and waved it around. He could not help but smile. It seemed that she was very satisfied with the Reaper¡¯s Scythe. She threw the Thunderbolt Saber she had used to Ye Chen with a disdainful expression. Ye Chen could not help but feel helpless. This fellow really liked the new and hated the old. After a day of battle, the few of them were already exhausted. They lay on the sofa and fell asleep soon. The three little fellows slowly entered the world of dreams. At eight o¡¯clock the next day, Ye Chen was woken up by a humming sound. Then, he opened his eyes. In his daze, Ye Chen saw a figure in front of him. When he saw that it was Lin Nuoyi, he smiled. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Ye Chen nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I was too tired. I rested a little longer.¡± Zhu Qiang also woke up at this moment. He rubbed his eyes and said, ¡°You all woke up quite early.¡± He yawned as if he was still sleepy. As soon as Lin Nuoyi opened the Monster Group Chat, she said to the two of them, ¡°Come and take a look. There¡¯s a new message in the chat room.¡± The two of them looked over. It turned out to be a new announcement. (After killing the monster, some monster corpses will have monster cores. Don¡¯t throw them away. There is an NPC shop in the chat group. The core can be recycled and obtained as gold coins. Gold coins can be exchanged for items in the shop.] ¡°F*ck! Why do I suddenly feel like I¡¯ve lost 100 million!¡± Zhu Qiang said loudly. The corpses of the monsters they killed yesterday were left behind by the three of them. There was indeed a strange bead in the corpses. However, there was no notification that it was loot, so they did not take it seriously. Now that they thought about it, they felt that it was a pity. However, Ye Chen did not take it to heart. He had the System Shop. The things in the System Shop were not better than those in the chat group? Just as Zhu Qiang was crying out in pity, Lin Nuoyi suddenly said, ¡°Looks like not only do we have to be wary of monsters in the future, we also have to be wary of humans.¡± Lin Nuoyi hit the nail on the head. With the value of the core, it was inevitable that someone would kill and rob. Zhu Qiang¡¯s reaction was a little slow. Ye Chen said, ¡°That¡¯s true. Looks like we need to be more careful in the future.¡± Zhu Qiang instantly understood what was going on and couldn¡¯t help but curse, ¡°What¡¯s with this monster chat group? Do they want us to become stronger or kill each other!¡± Ye Chen said coldly, ¡°No matter what their intentions are, we have to be more careful in the future.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. I took a look at the chat group shop just now. There are many things that can increase our strength. It¡¯s just that we need too many gold coins. Let¡¯s go out and continue hunting monsters to increase our abilities.¡± The two of them nodded in agreement. Then, Ye Chen led the way out of the villa. ¡°Stop eating! Let¡¯s go!¡± Zhu Qiang patted the head of the Pig Dragon that was eating the leftovers from last night. Pig Dragon snorted and took another bite before following the three of them out of the villa. Outside the villa, there were not many monsters. Ye Chen did not care about the low-level monsters. If he wanted to improve quickly, he had to kill high-level monsters. After all, high-level monsters gave a lot of experience and dropped a lot of things. Moreover, their cores could be exchanged for more gold coins. More importantly, when hunting low-level monsters, the team¡¯s combat experience would not increase but decrease. Ye Chen said, ¡°Where are we going next?¡± Lin Nuoyi took a look at the monster chat room and said, ¡°Before someone died, he said that a Level 7 Rare monster had appeared in the South Meridian Lake. Should we go there to take a look?¡± Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, ¡°Alright, a Level 7 Rare monster can satisfy us.¡± Without much hesitation, the three of them set off for South Meridian Lake. What Ye Chen and the others did not know was that because of the appearance of the NPC shop in the chat room, many forces had already taken root in this area. At the same time. With the appearance of the NPC shop, everyone activated a new function. That was to be able to see the basic information of others. This was to allow humans to fight better. Chapter 22 - Pet Vajra Ape Chapter 22 Pet Vajra Ape Ye Chen and the other two began to set off. At this moment, they had already arrived in the city. South Meridian Lake was located in the south of this area. Usually, at this time, many tourists would come here to play. But now, it had become a paradise for monsters. Ye Chen said to Lin Nuoyi, ¡°Nuoyi, remember to observe more information about the Monster Chat Group. There¡¯s still a lot of useful information inside.¡± Lin Nuoyi nodded and said, ¡°Understood. I¡¯ll tell you anything useful as soon as possible.¡± At this moment, there were also many monsters on the street. It seemed that this city had completely fallen. As the three of them were wearing the Tiger Skin Divine Robe, they could hide their auras. The journey was smooth. It had to be said that this Tiger Skin Divine Robe was really a divine artifact for hiding and ambushing. Unfortunately, it was useless against monsters above Level 10. Moreover, it could only be used for stealth. If they attacked while wearing it, there would be no hiding effect. However, the Tiger Skin Divine Robe was still very helpful to the three relatively weak people. Unknowingly, the three of them had been traveling for half an hour. ¡°Bang!¡± The sound of a wall shattering suddenly came. Something had knocked a hole in a tall building beside them. Another sound followed, and the seven-story building instantly collapsed. A figure instantly appeared in front of them. The three of them looked up. An ape-headed pet with a human on its back was escaping. The human was about 20 years old and had an anxious expression. (Vajra Ape] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Grade: Legendary (Grade 6) Technique: Berserk (Increase strength by three times for 30 seconds. As the realm increases, the time will increase.) Attributes: Gold Combat Strength: 1,100 Health: 12,000 The Vajra Ape had black fur that was neither long nor short. It held an iron rod and was extremely strong. It was the human¡¯s pet. The next moment. A six-meter-tall monster appeared and chased after them. [Sky Bull] Level: Level 6 Technique: Lightning Twin Horns Combat strength: 1,300 Health: 3,500 Note: The lightning horns will emit an overloaded electric shock. If hit, one will fall unconscious. The horns will absorb the blood of the person hit. The human suddenly looked at Ye Chen and the others and shouted, ¡°Everyone, my name is Tie Niu. Help me!¡± Ye Chen was stunned and could not help but smile bitterly. ¡°Looks like this Tiger Skin Divine Robe is only effective against monsters and not humans. He can see us.¡± Lin Nuoyi¡¯s expression suddenly changed as she said, ¡°Ye Chen, save him. I know this person. I saw him when I was wandering outside. He¡¯s a good person and has helped me before.¡± Ye Chen had the same intention. The three of them were still a little weak when dealing with high-level monsters. It was not bad to be able to absorb this Vajra Ape into their team. He brought Blood Asura out of the Tiger Skin Divine Robe and quickly ran towards the Sky Bull. The Sky Bull was covered in armor and had two horns on its head. There was even a faint power of lightning on them. Blood Asura had long been unable to hold back. Ever since she obtained the Reaper¡¯s Scythe, she had been wanting to find a monster to practice with. She cried out excitedly. Then, she flipped the Death Scythe in her hand and charged towards the Sky Bull. With the enhancement of the blood wings, Blood Asura¡¯s speed increased greatly. Shua! The scythe slashed across the Sky Bull¡¯s arm. -700! When the Sky Bull saw the sudden appearance of Blood Asura, it let out a roaring sound. Blood Asura floated in the air and waved its scythe to provoke this fool. Buzz, buzz. The armor behind the Sky Bull suddenly opened, and four pairs of wings appeared. It actually flew into the air as well, beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. Tie Niu had already stopped. He jumped down from the back of the Vajra Ape and came to Ye Chen¡¯s side. ¡°Thank you, Big Brother. My name is Tie Niu. What¡¯s your name?¡± He glanced at Tie Niu and said indifferently, ¡°Ye Chen.¡± Tie Niu nodded and said, ¡°Vajra Ape, help Big Brother Ye Chen¡¯s pet.¡± The Vajra Ape snorted, and hot air came out of its nostrils. Then, it quickly ran towards the Sky Bull. The Vajra Ape seemed to be born with divine strength as it jumped up. It instantly arrived in the air and grabbed the Sky Bull¡¯s huge head. The Vajra Ape pulled it down and landed on the ground, pressing the Sky Bull to the ground. At this moment, the Vajra Ape was emitting a blood-red light. Tie Niu said, ¡°Big Brother Ye Chen, my Vajra Ape has used a berserk skill, but it only has 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the Vajra Ape will lose its strength.¡± ¡°I understand. We¡¯ll settle the battle in 30 seconds.¡± The Sky Bull in front of him was just an ordinary Level 6 monster. Without Ye Chen¡¯s instructions, Blood Asura had already rushed up. Shua! Shua! Blood Asura¡¯s figure flickered as she swung her scythe twice. -700! -600! In less than a moment, the Sky Bull was killed. Blood Asura pulled off a wing from the Sky Bull and wiped the blood off the Reaper¡¯s Scythe. Clearly, Blood Asura cherished the Reaper¡¯s Scythe very much. A white bead with six golden points floated into Ye Chen¡¯s inventory, and the other loot were put away by Ye Chen. In this battle, Blood Asura obtained 60 experience points. Ye Chen also obtained 40 points. The Vajra Ape had already fallen to the ground weakly. It seemed that after using Berserk, it had caused considerable damage to the Vajra Ape. Although this fellow was very strong, it did not last long Tie Niu looked at Ye Chen gratefully and bowed. ¡°Thank you, Big Brother Ye Chen. If not for you, the Vajra Ape and I would probably have¡­¡± Ye Chen patted Tie Niu¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± How could Tie Niu not know about Ye Chen and his pet Blood Asura? It was definitely not ordinary. In this chaotic world, it was really difficult to survive alone. It was very important to have a team and powerful teammates. Tie Niu really wanted to team up with Ye Chen, but when he thought about his strength, he could not say such words. Just as Tie Niu was about to leave with the Vajra Ape, Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi rushed over. ¡°Tie Niu!¡± Lin Nuoyi¡¯s voice sounded. Tie Niu looked over and shouted happily, ¡°Lin Nuoyi!¡± Lin Nuoyi smiled and nodded. ¡°You¡¯re teammates with Big Brother Ye Chen?¡± ¡°Yes, we¡¯re a team now. Ye Chen is our captain!¡± Tie Niu said enviously, ¡°It¡¯s great that you have a captain as powerful as Big Brother Ye Chen.¡± Lin Nuoyi asked, ¡°What about you?¡± Tie Niu smiled bitterly. ¡°I¡¯m alone and don¡¯t have any teammates. The Vajra Ape and I have been on the run all this time.¡± Lin Nuoyi also sighed helplessly. She wanted to tell Ye Chen to let Tie Niu join their team. After all, she knew that Tie Niu was more reliable. However, when she thought about how she and Zhu Qiang still needed Ye Chen¡¯s protection, she felt too embarrassed to ask. After thinking for a moment, Tie Niu smiled and said, ¡°Then be careful. I¡¯ll leave with the Vajra Ape first. Thank you, Big Brother Ye Chen!¡± With that, Tie Niu walked towards the Vajra Ape, his steps filled with sorrow. ¡°Hey, where are you going!¡± Tie Niu turned around and saw Ye Chen looking at him with a smile. Tie Niu was suddenly at a loss. ¡°I, I don¡¯t know either!¡± Ye Chen looked at Tie Niu¡¯s stunned expression and smiled. ¡°Since you don¡¯t know, join my team!¡± Chapter 23 - The Octopus Monster of Meridian Lake Chapter 23 The Octopus Monster of Meridian Lake Ye Chen¡¯s tone was filled with sincerity. Looking at his smiling face, Tie Niu did not know what to say. Zhu Qiang smiled and said, ¡°Brother Tie Niu, join us! Big Brother Ye Chen is a very good person!¡± It was not that Tie Niu did not want to join, but he wanted to join too much. However, Ye Chen¡¯s words made a ray of sunlight suddenly shoot into Tie Niu¡¯s gloomy heart. Seeing that Tie Niu did not move, Lin Nuoyi said, ¡°Tie Niu, join us! Let¡¯s fight side by side.¡± Tie Niu nodded fiercely. Suddenly, he felt a lump in his throat and was about to cry. When Zhu Qiang saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Tie Niu¡¯s shoulder. He said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to cry!¡± Tie Niu immediately lowered his head and wiped his tears. ¡°No, no. There¡¯s sand in my eyes.¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± The three of them laughed. Then, Ye Chen led the three of them on their journey. What they did not know was that a new team had suddenly appeared on the leaderboard of the Monster Chat Group. Team name: Unknown. The captain was Ye Chen! Tie Niu looked at Ye Chen, who was walking at the front, and swore in his heart that he would use his life to protect everyone in the team. He also acknowledged Ye Chen as his Big Brother for life! The Vajra Ape had already recovered and was walking at the back of the group. As an ape pet, the Vajra Ape¡¯s intelligence was relatively low. In fact, it could not even compare to the Pig Dragon. With the addition of the Vajra Ape, it was a good thing for Blood Asura and the Mersnake. The two pets sat on the shoulder of the Vajra Ape, looking like a beauty with wild beasts. This scene was quite pleasing to the eye. The four of them quickly arrived at Meridian Lake. Meridian Lake was huge, the size of four football fields. The periphery was originally a park, but it was now a paradise for monsters. Ye Chen suddenly stopped and frowned. Lin Nuoyi couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± W Ye Chen waved his hand and everyone stopped. Immediately, the faint sounds of fighting reached everyone¡¯s ears. Lin Nuoyi, Zhu Qiang, and Tie Niu instantly raised their guard. Ye Chen said in a low voice, ¡°We¡¯re not the only team here. We have to be careful.¡± The three of them nodded and walked together. Roar! With a tragic roar, the sounds of fighting stopped. As Ye Chen walked, he said, ¡°Looks like that team won.¡± Lin Nuoyi said, ¡°Monsters below Level 20 generally don¡¯t have intelligence. As long as the level difference isn¡¯t too great, it¡¯s not difficult to kill them.¡± Zhu Qiang chuckled and said, ¡°Looks like this Monster Chat Group isn¡¯t that bad. It¡¯s for us to level up and practice.¡± After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen said coldly, ¡°Let¡¯s quickly deal with that Level 7 monster and retreat!¡± The three of them nodded. Then, the four of them hurriedly quickened their pace and rushed to Meridian Lake. Just as Ye Chen had thought, many teams had already rushed over. Their target was clearly the Level 7 monster. However, they did not have the Tiger Skin Divine Robe. They needed to deal with the monsters they encountered along the way. Their speed was naturally much slower than Ye Chen and the others. With the Tiger Skin Divine Robe, the four of them arrived at Meridian Lake without any obstructions. Unlike the outside world, the center of Meridian Lake was clearly much quieter. There was silence. Not a sound. ¡°Brother Chen, there¡¯s nothing here!¡± Looking at the silent lake, Zhu Qiang looked puzzled. He did not see any monsters. Ye Chen sized it up for a moment and frowned. ¡°It¡¯s in the lake.¡± Then, Ye Chen asked Lin Nuoyi to put away the Tiger Skin Divine Robe. In the next second, a ripple suddenly appeared on the calm lake. Splash! A huge creature instantly appeared in the center of Meridian Lake. (Eight-Eyed Octopus] Level: Level 7 Attributes: Water Technique: Tentacle Sucker Combat strength: 1,500 Health: 5,100 Talent: Corrosive Black Mist (Unawakened) Note: The Eight-Eyed Octopus is a Rare grade monster. Its combat strength will greatly increase in the water. If one is hit by the tentacle suction cup, their health will be halved! The Eight-Eyed Octopus was 20 meters tall and had 12 tentacles. Every tentacle had a suction cup of different sizes. It was completely black, and its huge head had eight eyes the size of basketballs. There were also hundreds of black holes of different sizes on its body. When Lin Nuoyi saw this, her expression instantly became a little unnatural. She curled his lips and said, ¡°This thing is too ugly.¡± Ye Chen did not waste any time and said directly, ¡°Blood Asura, go! Lure it out of the water first!¡± Blood Asura could no longer hold back. As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, she had already rushed up. She would always be the rash one. Buzz! Blood Asura flapped her blood wings slightly and arrived above the Eight-Eyed Octopus. The Reaper¡¯s Scythe hooked one of the Eight-Eyed Octopus¡¯s eyes. -500! The Reaper¡¯s Scythe was pulled out, and there was an eye of the Eight-Eyed Octopus on it. Immediately, black blood flowed out of the bloody hole. When Blood Asura saw this, it became extremely excited. On the shore, Lin Nuoyi could not help but say, ¡°This Blood Asura is too ruthless.¡± Ye Chen said, ¡°Blood Asura itself is a torture-type pet.¡± Zhu Qiang and Tie Niu also frowned. Even the Vajra Ape and the Mersnake felt a little uncomfortable. Instead, Pig Dragon grunted excitedly at the side. Its two front claws slapped together from time to time, as if it was clapping for Blood Asura. This was a boot-licking pig. The Eight-Eyed Octopus was furious and let out a painful roar. Shua! The Eight-Eyed Octopus raised a tentacle and waved it at Blood Asura. Blood Asura dodged and waved its scythe. Splash! The tentacle waved by the Eight-Eyed Octopus instantly fell off. -6001 Black blood flowed out of the wound. ¡°Hehehe!¡± Blood Asura giggled. Blood Asura holding the Reaper¡¯s Scythe looked like a little demon, flying wantonly in the air and attacking the Eight-Eyed Octopus from time to time. Buzz! The Eight-Eyed Octopus let out a strange cry from its mouth filled with sharp teeth, and a violent wave instantly rose from the lake. The remaining tentacles of the Eight-Eyed Octopus slapped the lake crazily. Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, countless water droplets rose and shot towards Blood Asura. The water droplets were too dense, and Blood Asura had no time to dodge. Fortunately, Blood Asura was smarter. It stopped in its tracks and was only hit by dozens of water droplets. If Blood Asura had dodged through the air just now, it would have been hit by even more water droplets. In the blink of an eye, Blood Asura¡¯s health dropped by 3,000. This damage was a little ridiculous! Ye Chen instantly understood what was going on. ¡°Blood Asura, bring it away from the lake. Its attack power will greatly increase in the water!¡± When Blood Asura heard this, she hurriedly flew towards the shore. An unintelligent creature like the Eight-Eyed Octopus naturally chased after it. It came to the shore and the suction cup on its hand sucked against the land on the shore, pulling its entire body up. The remaining seven eyes of the Eight-Eyed Octopus kept moving. It stared at them. A tentacle suddenly raised and smashed towards Ye Chen and the others. ¡°Disperse quickly!¡± Ye Chen said loudly. The Vajra Ape grabbed Tie Niu and placed him on its back before running away. The few of them quickly dispersed and dodged this attack. Chapter 24 - Three Pets Attacking Together Chapter 24 Three Pets Attacking Together Wuwu! A strange roar rang out, followed by a ball of pitch-black river water. The Eight-Eyed Octopus spat out a ball of river water from its mouth and smashed it towards Lin Nuoyi. The Mersnake hurriedly stood in front of Lin Nuoyi and blocked the attack. The Mersnake also lost a lot of health because of this, making Lin Nuoyi¡¯s heart ache. ¡°This fellow is too fierce!¡± The Eight-Eyed Octopus was very irritable to begin with, and it could not tolerate the existence of anything in front of it. This was also why there were no monsters around Meridian Lake. At this moment, Blood Asura had already arrived behind the Eight-Eyed Octopus, and the Reaper¡¯s Scythe danced quickly. She bent and rushed down, appearing under the Eight-Eyed Octopus in the blink of an eye. Then, she slashed rapidly at the Eight-Eyed Octopus with her scythe. The Eight-Eyed Octopus turned around, and the Mersnake also rushed up. Pu! Pu! Balls of poison sprayed on the Eight-Eyed Octopus. -100! -100! -100! ¡­ The venom of the Mersnake could cause three parts of damage to the target. Moreover, after the venom of the Beauty Snake was sprayed out, it still needed to be contained for a period of time. In short, the current Mersnake was still a little weak. This attack was simply useless against the Eight-Eyed Octopus. Blood Asura had already engaged in an intense battle with the Eight-Eyed Octopus. In an instant, everyone could no longer see Blood Asura. One could only vaguely hear the sound of wind breaking. The Eight-Eyed Octopus had already fallen into madness. The thick tentacles kept swinging in the air. The tentacles were too dense. Although Blood Asura dodged extremely quickly, she could not avoid being hit by the tentacles. The tentacles waved crazily, not giving Blood Asura any chance to attack. Ye Chen knew that if this continued, Blood Asura would be exhausted to death sooner or later. Ye Chen said coldly, ¡°Zhu Qiang, let the Pig Dragon attack the back of the Eight-Eyed Octopus!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Zhu Qiang responded and controlled the Pig Dragon to break through. ¡°Oink!¡± Wuwu! The Pig Dragon snorted at first, then took a deep breath and suddenly grew larger. Only then did it rush over. Then, the Pig Dragon slammed into the Eight-Eyed Octopus. -300! The body of the Eight-Eyed Octopus was soft. The Pig Dragon¡¯s attack did not cause much damage. But this attack was supposed to attract the attention of the Eight-Eyed Octopus. Unexpectedly, the Eight-Eyed Octopus did not take the Pig Dragon seriously at all. A ball of water suddenly sprayed out from under its body, instantly sending the Pig Dragon flying dozens of meters away. All the anger of the Eight-Eyed Octopus was directed at Blood Asura. Tie Niu knew that he could not just watch from the side, so he patted the back of the Vajra Ape. The Vajra Ape understood and nodded. It was relatively huge, four meters tall. Then, the Vajra Ape instantly activated its Berserk state and rushed towards the Eight-Eyed Octopus. Ye Chen looked at the Vajra Ape that had activated Berserk and shouted at Tie Niu, ¡°Tie Niu, you¡¯re crazy. After the Vajra Ape activated Berserk, it will fall into a weakened state. If it¡¯s killed by the Eight-Eyed Octopus, you¡¯ll die too!¡± When Tie Niu heard Ye Chen¡¯s reprimand, he instantly lowered his head. Ye Chen sighed helplessly. Although this Tie Niu was simple and honest, he was still too rash. Sigh! Ye Chen took out the Thunderbolt Saber and charged towards the Eight-Eyed Octopus himself. At this moment, the Vajra Ape had already arrived behind the Eight-Eyed Octopus. Its thick arms hugged one of the tentacles tightly. It picked up the Eight-Eyed Octopus and threw it to the ground. 30 seconds passed quickly. The Vajra Ape also collapsed to the ground weakly. The Eight-Eyed Octopus was instantly furious. It raised a tentacle and smashed it fiercely at the Vajra Ape. The Vajra Ape was already powerless and did not even have the strength to dodge. Ye Chen shouted, ¡°Blood Asura, hurry!¡± Blood Asura instantly moved and slashed the tentacle that had yet to land into two. -600! At this moment, Ye Chen had already arrived beside the Vajra Ape. He grabbed one of its arms and threw it out. Without any hesitation, Ye Chen waved the Thunderbolt Saber at the Eight-Eyed Octopus. -900! Zhu Qiang was suddenly shocked and stammered, ¡°Brother Chen¡¯s damage is actually higher than his Blood Asura!¡± Ye Chen was also slightly stunned and at a loss. Why was his damage higher than Blood Asura? However, Ye Chen immediately understood what was going on. He had a system! Ye Chen instantly thought of a way to fight. ¡°Blood Asura, you¡¯re in charge of harassment. I¡¯ll attack!¡± Blood Asura¡¯s beautiful face nodded and she arrived above the Eight-Eyed Octopus. She attacked the Eight-Eyed Octopus again. -500! Ye Chen took advantage of the gap in the battle between the Eight-Eyed Octopus and Blood Asura. He raised the Thunderbolt Saber, which was wrapped in lightning. Ye Chen slashed down fiercely. -1,000! At this moment, the Eight-Eyed Octopus¡¯s HP was less than 2,000. In three more moves, the Eight-Eyed Octopus would be finished. But in the next second, the Eight-Eyed Octopus roared. Its body suddenly expanded, and the hundreds of holes on its body spat out dense black water. After sending Ye Chen and the Blood Asura flying, Ye Chen rolled on the ground a few times before stopping. Blood Asura also fell to the ground. At the same time, a few monsters were attracted by the sound of the battle. Due to the deterrence of the Eight-Eyed Octopus, they did not dare to approach. Unexpectedly, in the next second. The Eight-Eyed Octopus¡¯ three tentacles suddenly grew longer. It wrapped around the three monsters and instantly opened the suction cup. In less than two seconds, the three monsters instantly turned into dried corpses. The HP of the Eight-Eyed Octopus actually recovered from 1,700 to 3,500. ¡°What! This Eight-Eyed Octopus can actually recover health!¡± Zhu Qiang shouted in shock, and Ye Chen¡¯s expression instantly darkened. He immediately said, ¡°The few of you go and stop the other monsters from coming over. Blood Asura and I will quickly deal with this Eight-Eyed Octopus.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± The three of them were stunned for a moment before they quickly ran towards the periphery. After they ran far away, Ye Chen stood up and patted the dust off his body. He looked at the Eight-Eyed Octopus coldly and said, ¡°Die!¡± Shua! Shua! In an instant, two figures appeared beside Ye Chen. They were Ye Chen¡¯s other two pets. Dark Concubine and the Alchemist. Dark Concubine was wearing a long black dress that tightly wrapped around her body. The Alchemist was wearing a long white dress that was slightly more loose. The three pets looked like miniature girls. Each of them was less than 1.2 meters tall. Ye Chen held the Thunderbolt Saber and smiled. ¡°Everyone, attack!¡± Dark Concubine¡¯s figure instantly disappeared. In less than a second, the Dark Concubine had already arrived above the Eight-Eyed Octopus like a ghost. A silver light appeared in Dark Concubine¡¯s hand. It was an exquisite dagger. The dagger stabbed fiercely at the Eight-Eyed Octopus¡¯s head. -1,100! The Alchemist floated above Ye Chen¡¯s left shoulder. She took a deep breath. Whoosh! A ferocious flame spewed out of the Alchemist¡¯s mouth. It was the skill of the Alchemist: Fire Strike! -500! -600! -700! Fire Strike dealt triple damage, and each damage was higher than the last. A red light appeared on Blood Asura¡¯s body. It also activated its Critical Hit skill! Then, the blood eye on the scythe suddenly opened, shining with red light. Blood Asura swooped down. Red light flashed. The Reaper¡¯s Scythe slashed heavily on the forehead of the Eight-Eyed Octopus. -1,100! The Eight-Eyed Octopus died instantly! Chapter 25 - Encountering a Strong Enemy Chapter 25 Encountering a Strong Enemy Seeing the fallen Eight-Eyed Octopus, the three pets looked at each other and smiled. Then, the Alchemist and Dark Concubine returned to the pet space. From this battle. Ye Chen obtained 80 points. Blood Asura also obtained 70 experience points. A white bead with seven golden dots flew into Ye Chen¡¯s inventory. At the place where the Eight-Eyed Octopus died, there was loot. (Eight-Eyed King Eye: Suitable for water and poison-type creatures. Staring at other creatures can cause the other party to fall unconscious for a second.) [Tentacle cartilage fragment x1: Collect six fragments to form six tentacle cartilage] [Minor Life Recovery Potion x2] Ye Chen did not fancy these things that much. There was also something emitting purple light on the ground. It was not an ordinary item. (King¡¯s Sharp Teeth: A specialty of Rare grade monsters. Refined from sharp teeth. Rare grade dagger! Has a short-term paralyzing effect.] Ye Chen could not help but look happy. This item was most suitable for Dark Concubine. He then called Lin Nuoyi and the others back. The three of them came to Ye Chen and were shocked to see that the Eight-Eyed Octopus was already dead. ¡°Brother Chen, is that Eight-Eyed Octopus dead?¡± Ye Chen nodded and did not elaborate on the process. Instead, he said, ¡°Split these loot!¡± Now that there was one more person in the team, the loot on the ground were clearly not enough. Zhu Qiang looked at the spoils of war and did not say anything. Tie Niu hurriedly said, ¡°Big Brother Ye Chen, you guys can divide them. I don¡¯t have to participate in the division of the loot.¡± Ye Chen looked at the slightly reserved Tie Niu and said, ¡°What are you talking about? As a member of the team, it¡¯s only right for you to contribute and distribute the loot.¡± Zhu Qiang echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right, Tie Niu. Don¡¯t stand on ceremony. We¡¯re a team, brothers! Brothers!¡± Hearing Ye Chen and Zhu Qiang¡¯s words, Tie Niu could not help but be touched. Whether it was in the past or now, no one had ever treated him like this. ¡°Hahaha, if you don¡¯t know how to split it, just give it to us!¡± A loud laugh came from afar. The four of them hurriedly looked up. Not far away, six people walked over. They were all about 27 years old. The four of them instantly became vigilant. The six people in front of them were clearly another team. Due to the appearance of the new function, Ye Chen immediately saw the news of these people and could not help but narrow his eyes. The leader was called Jiang Hu. He was fat with a fleshy head and big ears, and his hair was dyed yellow. His pet was a Level 5 Jade-faced Demon Fox, a Grade 3 pet. The names and pets of the other six people were: Huang Ming, Level 4 Two Headed Hound. Jiang Yu, Level 4 Red-eyed Rabbit. Lu Liang, Level 4 Five-clawed Wolf. Sheng Ziheng, Level 4 Crypt Worm. Luo Tong, Level 4 Sacrificial Turtle. However, their levels were all Elite and Rare. In other words, their starting point was relatively weak. The overall strength of these six people was clearly above Ye Chen¡¯s team, and their combat strength was stronger. Jiang Hu looked at the few of them and laughed. ¡°Kid, the few of you are quite powerful. You even killed this Level 7 Eight-Eyed Octopus. Not bad, not bad.¡± Looking at the few of them laughing loudly, Zhu Qiang could not help but take two steps back. ¡°Brother Chen, what should we do? The other party doesn¡¯t look like a good person. Moreover, there¡¯s a Level 5 pet. Why don¡¯t we run!¡± Ye Chen did not speak but looked at the people in front of him quietly. Tie Niu suddenly said, ¡°Big Brother Ye Chen, why don¡¯t you leave? The Vajra Ape and I will hold them back here!¡± As he spoke, Tie Niu was about to rush up when Ye Chen held him down and reprimanded, ¡°As the captain, I haven¡¯t even attacked yet. Why are you panicking!¡± Ye Chen then pushed Tie Niu behind him, and the information about them was also known by the people opposite him. Luo Tong said to Jiang Hu, ¡°Boss, that kid¡¯s pet is not simple!¡± Jiang Hu looked at Blood Asura, and his expression instantly darkened. ¡°It¡¯s actually a Sage Grade, and it¡¯s even at the Eighth Grade!¡± Blood Asura was standing on the ground. Jiang Hu originally thought that Blood Asura was a little girl following Ye Chen. He did not expect her to be Ye Chen¡¯s pet. After Jiang Hu saw the level of Blood Asura, his expression instantly softened. ¡°It¡¯s just a Level 3 pet. The highest level on the other side is only Level 3. There¡¯s nothing to worry about.¡± The Level 3 pet was Ye Chen¡¯s Blood Asura. Luo Tong said more cautiously, ¡°Boss, but even the weakest pets on the other side are all at the Legendary grade. We¡­¡± Before Luo Jue could finish speaking, Jiang Hu cursed, ¡°What are you f*cking afraid of? Don¡¯t you know that wealth comes from danger? There are so many of us, and our pets are at least Level 4. Why would we be afraid of them?¡± ¡°Big Brother is right.¡± Then, Luo Tong hurriedly retreated to the side. Jiang Hu looked at Ye Chen and the others and said, ¡°Kid, hand over the origin core of this Eight-Eyed Octopus, as well as the loot and origin cores you obtained. If you do that, I¡¯ll let you die a quick death!¡± Before Ye Chen could speak, Lin Nuoyi mocked, ¡°Good fellow, others hand over the items and leave a way out, but you even want our life!¡± Jiang Hu¡¯s expression instantly darkened. Leaving a way out? That was impossible. Ye Chen and the others¡¯ pets¡¯ levels were not low. Their achievements in the future would definitely be higher than theirs. If he let them go, it would be equivalent to burying a mine that could explode at any time. Moreover, he could level up by killing them and their pets. Otherwise, how could so many of their pets have risen to Level 4 so quickly? Killing monsters was not as fast as robbing! Jiang Hu said to his five subordinates, ¡°The three of us will deal with that humanoid pet. The three of you will hold back the other three. After killing them, our pets will eat their pets. We will definitely experience a qualitative leap.¡± Jiang Hu was right. The higher the grade of the pet they ate, the more experience they would obtain. The faster way to level up than killing monsters was to eat other people¡¯s pets! These people¡¯s pets were of such a high level, so they must have killed many people. Zhu Qiang whispered, ¡°Brother Chen, what should we do?¡± Ye Chen said calmly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be nervous. The pets on the other side are all low-level pets. Although their levels are higher than ours, we¡¯re not at a disadvantage! It¡¯s very likely that three of them will deal with me. Three against three!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Zhu Qiang exclaimed. ¡°Then what should we do, Brother Chen? Won¡¯t you be in danger?¡± Ye Chen smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll hold the three of them back later. The three of you will gather together and defeat the remaining three one by one. Do you hear me? Finish them quickly and come over to help me.¡± The three of them nodded, their faces serious. In the face of a great enemy, they had to use all their energy. ¡°Alright, get ready to move.¡± The three of them quickly summoned their pets together. Jiang Hu and the others had also finished their discussion. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at them. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. At this moment, Ye Chen was still extremely calm. After all, he still had the two killing weapons, the Alchemist and Dark Concubine! Moreover, he himself was the greatest killing weapon. Who would have thought that he was even more powerful than his pet? War was imminent. Jiang Hu, Luo Tong, and Sheng Ziheng controlled their pets and rushed towards Ye Chen. The other three controlled their pets to charge at Lin Nuoyi, Zhu Qiang, and Tie Niu. Jiang Hu and the others did not come over. Instead, they stood far away. After all, there was a more effective way than killing pets. It was to kill the owner! The Jade-faced Demon Fox and the Sacrificial Turtle attacked Blood Asura from both sides. The Crypt Worm rushed towards Ye Chen. Pets were not like monsters. Monsters of the same level were much weaker than pets. Blood Asura held the Reaper¡¯s Scythe in her hand without any fear. Instead, she licked her lips and looked excitedly at the Jade-faced Demon Fox and the Sacrificial Turtle. Clang! At this moment, Ye Chen also took out the Thunderbolt Saber and stared at the charging Crypt Worm. Chapter 26 - Another Wave of Fat Chapter 26 Another Wave of Fat It was about to happen. Blood Asura was the first to move. She attacked the Jade-faced Demon Fox. The Jade-faced Demon Fox was more than two times larger than Blood Asura. Moreover, its attribute was wind, and its speed was extremely fast. The Jade-faced Demon Fox seemed to be wearing a white mask. It had no nostrils or mouth. There was only a pair of blue eyes. Its sharp claws instantly grabbed at the Blood Asura. Blood Asura flapped its blood wings and suddenly disappeared. In the next second, it appeared above the Jade-faced Demon Fox. Monsters were not like pets. Even a Level 6 Jade-faced Demon Fox¡¯s reaction speed was much faster than a Level 7 Eight-Eyed Octopus. The Crypt Worm had already arrived in front of Ye Chen. Sheng Ziheng was laughing in the distance. ¡°Boss, this fellow still doesn¡¯t know how to hide. My Crypt Worm can eat him in one bite.¡± Owners V In everyone¡¯s understanding, although pet owners would receive rewards after killing monsters, their combat strength was much inferior to pets. Just as everyone thought that Ye Chen would be eaten by the Crypt Worm¡­ Ye Chen¡¯s figure flashed, and a bolt of lightning appeared. The Thunderbolt Saber appeared above the Crypt Worm with lightning. -1,100! Pfft! A white light shot out from the Crypt Worm¡¯s hip. It was the skill of the Crypt Worm. Binding Insect Web! Ye Chen hurriedly dodged. He had dodged this attack. Ye Chen glanced at Blood Ashura from the corner of his eye. She was facing the siege of two pets. Due to the difference in levels, the situation was not optimistic. Fortunately, Blood Asura was smarter and knew to deal with the slightly lower-level Sacrificial Turtle first. Although the Sacrificial Turtle was a level higher than Blood Asura, it was clearly not its match. The Sacrificial Turtle was slightly slower and was naturally restrained by the agile Blood Asura. At this moment, the Sacrificial Turtle had already lost half of its health. If not for the Jade-faced Demon Fox interfering at the side, it would have been dealt with by Blood Asura. In terms of combat, although Blood Asura was very rash, she was really strong. Lin Nuoyi was executing Ye Chen¡¯s plan. Pig Dragon protected her. The Mersnake and the Vajra Ape surrounded one pet. Even so, the three of them were still at a disadvantage. After all, the disadvantage in numbers was irreparable. Moreover, there were many differences in levels. Ye Chen knew that the more they wasted time, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. If they wanted to win quickly, one of them had to break out quickly. Ye Chen stopped dodging and looked at the Crypt Worm in front of him. Shua! Ye Chen¡¯s speed was the fastest. He instantly arrived in front of the Crypt Worm. In just ten seconds, Ye Chen had already brandished dozens of sabers. Ten seconds later. Sheng Ziheng, who was beside Jiang Hu, fell to the ground. There were no signs of life! ¡°Sheng Ziheng!¡± Luo Tong hurriedly shouted and squatted down to check Sheng Ziheng¡¯s breathing. He was dead! He was instantly stunned. ¡°Boss, Ziheng, Ziheng is dead!¡± Luo Tong¡¯s pupils instantly dilated as he stammered to Jiang Hu. Jiang Hu¡¯s expression turned cold, and his brows instantly furrowed. They had killed countless teams and lone people. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He was very surprised. Ye Chen¡¯s figure flashed again, and then he came to Blood Asura¡¯s side. ¡°Let¡¯s deal with that Sacrificial Turtle first!¡± After Blood Asura dodged the Jade-faced Demon Fox¡¯s attack, she came to Ye Chen¡¯s side to deal with the Sacrificial Turtle. Luo Tong hurriedly shouted, ¡°No!¡± In the next second, Luo Tong also fell to the ground. The remaining three were instantly stunned. ¡°Boss, let¡¯s retreat. If this continues, we!¡± Jiang Hu was instantly furious. ¡°Shut up!¡± Jiang Hu¡¯s face was gloomy as he gritted his teeth at Ye Chen. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re ruthless! Just you wait!¡± With that, Jiang Hu shouted. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The four of them turned to leave. ¡°Did I say you could leave?¡± A death-like voice entered their ears. The four of them turned to look at Ye Chen. The moment they turned around, they saw Blood Asura floating in front of them. There was a strange smile on her lips. Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! A red light flashed. Four streams of blood splashed. There were only four corpses left. The moment the four of them died, their pets also died instantly. Even the insufferably arrogant Jade-faced Demon Fox fell to the ground. The most effective way to kill a pet was to kill its owner. Zhu Qiang shouted, ¡°Brother Chen is awesome! Brother Chen, you¡¯re too awesome!¡± The Pig Dragon ran to Blood Asura¡¯s side and snorted at it. This boot-licking pig was getting better and better at licking. The three of them rushed to Ye Chen¡¯s side. At this moment, the six pet corpses of Jiang Hu and the others had already dissipated. There was only a capsule-like thing left at the scene. [Experience Capsule. After a pet dies, it will leave behind a tenth of its experience as a capsule.] Ye Chen could not help but choke. No wonder killing pets and leveling up so quickly. Just the Jade-faced Demon Fox alone gave 1,100 experience points. ¡°Brother Chen, we¡¯re rich, we¡¯re rich!¡± Zhu Qiang shouted excitedly. The other five pets left behind an experience capsule with 500 experience points. This experience was enough for Zhu Qiang, Lin Nuoyi, and the others¡¯ pets to level up to Level 3. Ye Chen looked at the experience capsule and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take advantage of this time. I¡¯ll take three experience capsules. The Blood Asura needs three to advance to Level 4.¡± Zhu Qiang laughed. ¡°You killed all these people. It¡¯s not a problem even if we give them all to you!¡± Lin Nuoyi and Tie Niu completely agreed. Ye Chen revealed a gratified smile. These people were very sensible. (Blood Asura) Level: Level 4 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 1,900 Health: 31,000 Experience: 210/3,000 Unlike last time, there were no changes in the Blood Asura this time. Just as Ye Chen was feeling puzzled. Mersnake, Vajra Ape, and Pig Dragon had already reached Level 3. The Mersnake suddenly became much larger. From 60 centimeters tall, it had already grown to 70 centimeters. The two poisonous fangs at the corner of her mouth also turned from white to green. The toxicity of the Mersnake had clearly increased greatly. A layer of armor appeared on the Vajra Ape¡¯s basketball-sized fist, and there were five iron spikes on it. A white mane also grew on the Vajra Ape¡¯s head. It looked very domineering. Ye Chen was instantly relieved. It turned out that Level 3 was a watershed. After pets advanced, there would be some changes at this stage. Lin Nuoyi was overjoyed when she saw the Mersnake. Tie Niu also rubbed the Vajra Ape¡¯s domineering fist excitedly. Zhu Qiang squatted on the ground excitedly and looked at the Pig Dragon. Everyone¡¯s pets had changed, except for the Pig Dragon. Zhu Qiang looked at the Pig Dragon and said excitedly. ¡°Change, change!¡± At this moment, Pig Dragon was using all its strength, and its face was red. Pfft! The Pig Dragon suddenly let out a fart and collapsed weakly to the ground. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Zhu Qiang looked incredulous. Lin Nuoyi couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Zhu Qiang, your Pig Dragon doesn¡¯t have the potential to evolve!¡± The Pig Dragon¡¯s body did not change at all. It lay on the ground, panting. Zhu Qiang cursed angrily. ¡°What an embarrassing thing. You farted? It even tired you out!¡± Chapter 27 - Recruitment of the Enforcement Team Chapter 27 Recruitment of the Enforcement Team At this moment, Tie Niu said, ¡°Big Brother Ye Chen, they have something on them.¡± Zhu Qiang instantly perked up when he heard this. He stood up and came to Jiang Hu and the others¡¯ corpses. As expected, the loot they had obtained dropped. There were more than 30 origin cores of different levels. Lin Nuoyi smiled and said, ¡°Looks like these people are still some hard working youths.¡± Then, the four of them immediately divided the spoils. This time, they could be said to have gained a lot. Zhu Qiang said, ¡°Brother Chen, hunting pets is indeed more effective. Why don¡¯t we do it?¡± Ye Chen immediately said, ¡°No, in this chaotic world, we humans should be united. How can we kill each other!¡± ¡°But everyone else is hunting¡­¡± Zhu Qiang had a bitter expression. ¡°Others are others, but we are us! We can¡¯t do such a thing!¡± Zhu Qiang sighed helplessly. This kind of thing was like gambling. It was addictive. After experiencing such a fast way to level up, it was indeed difficult for them to level up slowly. ¡°Nuoyi, check where we¡¯re going later?¡± ¡°Alright, let me take a look.¡± As soon as Lin Nuoyi opened the Monster Chat Group, she searched for useful information. ¡°There¡¯s an amusement park not far ahead. There are many monsters inside. Should we take a look there?¡± Ye Chen looked at the time. It was still early. Then, he nodded and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The four of them immediately set off towards the Pegasus Amusement Park. Although the Meridian Lake was silent now, it would not be long before it was occupied by new monsters. On the way, the few of them opened the monster shop and exchanged the origin cores. One Level 4 origin core could be exchanged for 20 gold coins. Level 5 origin could be exchanged for 30 gold coins. Level 6 origin cores could be exchanged for 50 gold coins. As for the Level 7 origin core, it could be exchanged for 80 gold coins. It seemed that every level was 10 more gold coins than the previous level. ¡°Damn, this shop is too fraudulent. What a profiteer!¡± Zhu Qiang complained. ¡°The weapons and armor inside are all fragments, and the cheapest one can only be exchanged with 10 gold coins. The armor requires 50 fragments to be combined into one, and the weapon requires 100 fragments!¡± The weapons and defense of the monster shop were also divided into six levels: Ordinary, Advanced, Rare, Divine, Epic, and Legendary. Equipment was also divided into levels. At first glance, it looked similar to the level of a pet, but it was usually represented by the number of stars. 1 Star was ordinary equipment. 2 Stars was advanced equipment. 3 stars was rare equipment. And so on. Ye Chen also felt a little cheated. As for cultivation techniques and skills, they were also divided into six tiers. Even the lowest level ordinary cultivation technique could not be bought with their gold coins. Thinking of this, Ye Chen opened his System Points Shop Everything that the monster shop was available here. There were also items that did not exist in the monster shop. Moreover, the price was much lower than the ones in the monster shop. Ye Chen could not help but sigh. It was still better to have a System. It felt good to cheat. Moreover, the System had a special reward. Killing high-level monsters would give special rewards, such as the Heaven Splitting Spear, the Hell Mystic Realm, and the Demon God Armor. At this moment, Lin Nuoyi said, ¡°This shop is helpful to Tie Niu. Although the consumable small-scale Blood Qi Pills inside cost 100 gold coins a bottle, it can prevent the Vajra Ape from lacking Qi and blood after releasing its skills.¡± Tie Niu nodded and said, ¡°Yes, the consumption of my Vajra Ape¡¯s skill is too great.¡± Ye Chen patted Iron Bull¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°Isn¡¯t that because your Vajra Ape skill is too abnormal and increased its strength by three times?¡± When Tie Niu heard Ye Chen¡¯s words, he immediately smiled. To this team, he was still useful. He did not drag the team down too much. Thinking of this, Tie Niu could not help but feel relieved. He, Tie Niu, would protect these people with his life. Unknowingly, the four of them had already arrived at the entrance of the amusement park. At this moment, there were many people at the entrance of the amusement park. Lin Nuoyi was immediately puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are there so many people here?¡± Zhu Qiang also said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Why are there so many people? Aren¡¯t they afraid of encountering bad people?¡± Ye Chen glanced at the crowd and said, ¡°With the enforcement team here, they¡¯re naturally much more at ease.¡± At the front of the crowd was a group of people wearing white armor and holding weapons. Their pets were also of different shapes and colors, but the lowest level was Level 4, and their quality was above Rare. The highest grade was only Legendary. After all, pets above the Legendary grade were too difficult to obtain. The two people at the front were middle-aged men in their early thirties. They should be the captain of the law enforcement team. Their names were Lan Yu and Xiang Shan. The pet of one person was a Level 5 Legendary Grade 7 Blood Leopard. The other person¡¯s pet was a Level 5 Legendary Grade 6 Three-headed Snake. The middle-aged man also noticed the arrival of Ye Chen and the others. When he looked at them, his eyes instantly lit up with a strange light. Lan Yu patted Xiang Shan¡¯s arm, indicating for him to look at Ye Chen and the others. When Xiang Shan saw Ye Chen and the others, his expression was even more interesting than Lan Yu¡¯s. ¡°What a powerful team. The lowest level is at Level 3, Legendary Grade 4! There¡¯s also a Level 3 Mythic!¡± Lan Yu said, ¡°They¡¯re indeed very strong. Go and ask if they can join our enforcement team.¡± Xiang Shan thought for a moment and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s ask together.¡± Then, the two of them walked towards Ye Chen and the others. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the captain of the Leopard Snake Enforcement Team, Lan Yu. This is Deputy Captain Xiang Shan.¡± The person the two of them looked at was Zhu Qiang. Zhu Qiang was slightly stunned and said, ¡°Hello, my name is Zhu Qiang.¡± Zhu Qiang was still very polite to the law enforcement team in the country. Lan Yu said with a smile that he thought was very polite. ¡°I¡¯ve been observing you for a long time and realized that your team is very powerful. I wonder if you¡¯re willing to join our law enforcement team. With the support of the country, I believe that your strength will increase very quickly. Moreover, I guarantee that I can give your team very superior conditions.¡± Zhu Qiang did not answer but looked at Ye Chen. ¡°You should ask our captain, Big Brother Ye Chen!¡± Then, the two of them looked at Ye Chen. The two of them were a little puzzled. Zhu Qiang, who had a Mythic Grade pet, was actually not the captain. When Lan Yu saw Blood Asura from the corner of his eye, his expression changed drastically. The two of them were even more shocked! ¡°A Level 4 pet! And it¡¯s even a Grade 7 pet? This is a Sage Grade pet!¡± After so long, they had never even seen a Sixth Grade Supreme pet, let alone a Sage Grade expert. The two of them looked at each other in disbelief. Their attitude when they spoke was instantly extremely respectful. Facing Zhu Qiang, who was at Level 3, they could talk and laugh. However, Ye Chen¡¯s pet was at Level 4, Seventh Grade Sage. They no longer had any pride. It was no wonder that Lan Yu did not recognize him. It was just that Blood Asura looked too much like a human girl in strange clothes. Lan Yu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and respectfully repeated what he had just said. Ye Chen rejected, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we still like to be more free.¡± ¡°Mr. Ye Chen, you can consider it first. We¡­¡± Before Lan Yu could finish, Ye Chen said directly. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything. The lives of everyone in our team are very precious. I won¡¯t leave our team¡¯s fate in the hands of others.¡± Lan Yu laughed dryly and did not speak. Then, he prepared to leave. Chapter 28 - Encounter with Tang Qiu Chapter 28 Encounter with Tang Qiu ¡°Wait.¡± Ye Chen suddenly said. The two of them turned around and looked at Ye Chen curiously. Then, Ye Chen smiled and said, ¡°May I ask why so many people are here?¡± Lan Yu replied, ¡°There¡¯s a law-enforcement team hunting a Level 7 monster inside. We¡¯ll wait here. As for the people at the door, they¡¯re people who want to join the law-enforcement team.¡± Ye Chen nodded and smiled. ¡°Thank you.¡± Then, Ye Chen said to Lin Nuoyi and the others, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The four of them left and headed to another place. After walking for a long time, Zhu Qiang asked curiously, ¡°Brother Chen, why are there so many people who want to join the law enforcement team? From what you said just now, entering the law enforcement team is equivalent to handing your life to others. Why are there still so many people who want to join?¡± Ye Chen explained. ¡°Look at their levels and pets. They¡¯re all low-level existences. In this chaotic world, it¡¯s very difficult for them to survive. Therefore, they need to form groups to survive.¡± The three of them nodded in understanding. Lin Nuoyi suddenly said, ¡°Ye Chen, there¡¯s an abandoned biochemical plant in the suburbs. There might be high-level monsters inside.¡± Ye Chen nodded and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s go there.¡± The huge city was already in chaos. Those without pets were either reduced to food for the monsters or became the followers of pets. The entire world had changed drastically. The western suburbs were not the suburbs. On the contrary, it used to be a very prosperous area. Many years ago, this was still a chemistry research facility. However, there was a leaking incident later and it became like this. Broken walls were everywhere. The four of them had already arrived in this area. The originally huge biochemical research facility was now surrounded by barbed wire. There was dead silence inside. Other than the cries of a few monsters from time to time, there was no movement. For some reason, the biochemical research facility was enveloped in fog. The wind that blew over was like a moist mist. Zhu Qiang said fearfully, ¡°Brother Chen, why don¡¯t we leave? If we¡¯re not killed by the monsters, we¡¯ll be scared to death.¡± This guy was as timid as ever. He couldn¡¯t do anything but was best at running away. However, Ye Chen said, ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look. Perhaps there are higher-level monsters.¡± He led the way to a barbed wire with a hole and crawled in. Lin Nuoyi and Tie Niu followed closely behind. Zhu Qiang thought for a moment and chose to follow. Zhu Qiang followed closely behind Tie Niu, sandwiched between him and the Vajra Ape. In the dense fog, everyone¡¯s vision was severely restricted. The range of their vision was less than ten meters. A few minutes later, everyone was still 20 meters away from the research institute. ¡°Oink!¡± The Pig Dragon snorted as if it was sneezing. Zhu Qiang slapped the Pig Dragon¡¯s thick head. ¡°You scared me!¡± ¡°Is, is anyone there?¡± A weak female voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Ah! Mother, it¡¯s a ghost!¡± Zhu Qiang instantly exploded and shouted. Ye Chen instantly held Zhu Qiang down and asked cautiously, ¡°Who is it?¡± The weak female voice sounded again. ¡°I¡¯m here. Can you come over and save us?¡± ¡®Us?¡¯ Ye Chen instantly raised his guard. ¡°You¡¯re not the only one?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m with my team members. I¡¯m very injured now. Can you come over and save us?¡± Lin Nuoyi said, ¡°I think it¡¯s a small team.¡± Ye Chen nodded and walked in the direction of the voice. However, Ye Chen still held the Thunderbolt Saber in his hand. Blood Asura was also floating in the fog. If anything suddenly happened, Blood Asura could attack immediately. The four of them walked forward slowly. The situation in the fog ahead appeared in his vision bit by bit. After a while. Ye Chen saw a woman lying on the ground in front of him. She looked to be in her twenties and was wearing a black leather jacket. Her neat short hair was already in a mess, and her face was covered in dust. There was a wound on the chest of the leather jacket. It looked like it had been stabbed by a dagger. Ye Chen came to the woman¡¯s side and recognized her. ¡°Are you from the law enforcement team?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Ye Chen pointed at a pattern on the woman¡¯s left arm. ¡°Look at this badge. It¡¯s the same as the one on Lan Yu¡¯s arm.¡± There was a pattern imprinted on the badge on the woman¡¯s arm. There was an ax and a sword on the pattern. It was the symbol of the law enforcement team. When he arrived beside the woman, Ye Chen finally saw her appearance. The woman had a round face, big eyes, and extremely regular facial features, although she was already covered in wounds. One could still see the cold temperament of the woman. The woman continued in a weak voice, ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m the captain of the Bull Enforcement Team, Tang Qiu.¡± Tang Qiu? He did not expect this woman to be Tang Qiu. Ye Chen looked at the weak Tang Qiu and frowned. ¡°You said there are teammates?¡± Tang Qiu said, ¡°Yes, they were also seriously injured. They should be around.¡± ¡°Nuoyi, the three of you go and take a look.¡± Lin Nuoyi replied, ¡°Alright!¡± Ye Chen knew that if Tang Qiu did not receive treatment soon, she would not live for long. Then, he took out a small Blood Qi Pill from his backpack. Qi and Blood Pills had healing effects on warriors, so it should be useful. ¡°Open your mouth.¡± Tang Qiu opened her mouth forcefully and Ye Chen fed her the Qi and Blood Pill. As the Qi and Blood Pill entered her body, the wounds on Tang Qiu¡¯s body began to heal at a visible speed. Two minutes later, Tang Qiu suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. Only then did her pale face begin to gradually flush red. Ye Chen looked at the black blood on the ground and immediately understood. The thing that stabbed Tang Qiu¡¯s body must be poisonous. Tang Qiu took a deep breath and looked at Ye Chen with a surprised expression. Before Tang Qiu could speak, Ye Chen said, ¡°I¡¯m Ye Chen. We¡¯ve met before. What¡¯s wrong with you? What did you encounter? Why did you run here from the residential area?¡± Before Tang Qiu could speak. Lin Nuo and the other two rushed back and said with ugly expressions, ¡°We found a total of five people, but they¡¯re all dead.¡± ¡°Dead?¡± Tang Qiu suddenly exclaimed. ¡°Sigh, our team has a total of 11 people. Five of them died in the residential area, and the five who escaped still didn¡¯t survive.¡± Tang Qiu¡¯s tone was a little sad. Ye Chen could not help but be shocked. Tang Qiu¡¯s pet was a Level 5 Grade 4 Mythic Bull Warrior. Including the 10 team members, 10 people had died just like that. Tang Qiu had also suffered such heavy injuries. One could imagine how terrifying the monsters inside were. ¡°What exactly is inside?¡± After Tang Qiu calmed down, he said, ¡°It¡¯s a Level 9 high-level Blood Jade Spider. We thought that we could successfully hunt it, but we didn¡¯t expect it to be so powerful.¡± Zhu Qiang exclaimed, ¡°Level 9!!¡± So far, the highest level monster the four of them had encountered was only Level 7. No wonder Tang Qiu¡¯s team suffered such heavy casualties. It turned out that they had encountered such a powerful monster. Thinking of this, Ye Chen could not help but admire Tang Qiu¡¯s courage. She was actually not afraid at all when facing a Level 9 monster. This was the law enforcement team. For the country and the people. Defending the land. Chapter 29 - Using the System Mall to Exchange for Saber Techniques Chapter 29 Using the System Mall to Exchange for Saber Techniques After Ye Chen learned that it was a Level 9 monster, he was not afraid at all. Instead, his heart was filled with joy. Not to mention the large amount of experience from a Level 9 monster, if he used the Critical Hit Card, he would definitely be able to obtain a lot of good things. At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the research base behind him. Everyone subconsciously turned around. On the wall, a four-meter-tall hole had already appeared. (Blood Jade Spider] Level: Level 9 Technique: Reproduction Attributes: Poison Combat Strength: 2,200 Health: 6,000/9,500 Talent: Turning a Thousand into One (Unawakened) Note: The Blood Jade Spider has a unique reproduction ability. Every minute, it can reproduce 100 Level 1 small Blood Jade Spiders. Killing 10 small Blood Jade Spiders will yield 10 experience points. The Blood Jade Spider was four meters tall and completely blood red. Its entire body was like jade. There was not a single strand of hair on its body like a spider should have, and it had two sharp fangs in its mouth. Eight thin and long legs supported its body, and every leg was as sharp as a steel saber. There were also two sickle-shaped arms under the teeth. It seemed that Tang Qiu¡¯s injuries were caused by the Blood Jade Spider¡¯s arms. The 3,500 HP that the Blood Jade Spider had lost was consumed by Tang Qiu¡¯s team. When Zhu Qiang saw the small spiders, he shouted, ¡°Mommy! This is too big!¡± Facing such a powerful Blood Jade Spider, Zhu Qiang and the others were clearly not its match. Ye Chen shouted, ¡°Run!¡± When the four of them heard this, they hurriedly ran out. Seeing that they had fled far away, Ye Chen stopped and turned to look at the Blood Jade Spider. The Blood Jade Spider was waving its claws and approaching Ye Chen step by step. Ye Chen knew that it was abnormally difficult for him and his three pets to deal with this high-level Blood Jade Spider alone. There was only one way. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to open the System Shop. He searched for a cultivation technique that was suitable for him. Soon, a cultivation technique called the Nine Fold Thunder Blade attracted Ye Chen¡¯s attention. Nine Fold Thunder Blade [This saber cultivation technique is suitable for lightning-type weapons. There are a total of nine tier to the Nine Fold Thunder Blade. You can cultivate one tier every 10 levels.] Ye Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. This Nine Fold Thunder Blade seemed to be tailor-made for him. He had the Thunderbolt Saber, which was suitable for the Nine Fold Thunder Blade. Now that Ye Chen was at Level 5, although he could only cultivate the first tier, it should be enough. Ye Chen took a look at the points needed and could not help but curse. This Nine Fold Thunder Blade actually required 1,100 points. He only has 320 points now. However, since the Nine Fold Thunder Blade was flickering in the System Points Shop, it meant that he could buy it. Ye Chen opened the Nine Fold Thunder Blade with doubts. He was instantly overjoyed. This Nine Fold Thunder Blade could actually be bought tier by tier. The first tier only required 100 points. Ye Chen did not hesitate and chose to buy it. In an instant, the cultivation technique appeared in Ye Chen¡¯s mind. A bolt of lightning surrounded Ye Chen¡¯s body for three seconds before disappearing. Without any hesitation, Ye Chen used the Monster Critical Hit Card. The Alchemist and Dark Concubine also came out at this moment. The dagger he had obtained from the Eight-Eyed Octopus had already been given to the Dark Concubine. At this moment. The three pets surrounded Ye Chen. Ye Chen held the Thunderbolt Saber and looked at the Blood Jade Spider with sharp eyes. It was only then that it seemed to have sensed the dangerous aura on Ye Chen. Then, there was a howl. Its eight sharp legs bent slightly, and 100 small Blood Jade Spiders instantly spewed out from the Blood Jade Spider¡¯s body. Although they were small spiders, each of them was 30 centimeters tall. It was really unknown how the Blood Jade Spider could accommodate so many small spiders in its body. The densely packed little spiders crawled towards Ye Chen the moment they landed. Ye Chen was not afraid but happy. 100 Level 1 spiders were no threat to Ye Chen and his three pets. Instead, it was to give Ye Chen experience. ¡°Go!¡± Ye Chen instructed. Blood Asura could no longer hold it in. She bent down and rushed towards the spiders. The Reaper Scythe in her hands danced and spun, and a large number of small spiders were instantly killed or injured. Alchemists also activated her skill. Fire Strike. Three ferocious flames spewed out at the spiders. Dark Concubine had long disappeared. Her figure was faintly discernible among the spiders. Every time Dark Concubine appeared, a group of small spiders would instantly die. In less than half a minute, all 100 small spiders were dead. This was not because the Blood Jade Spider¡¯s skills were weak, but because the current Blood Jade Spider was only Level 9. If it grew to Level 10, every small spider would be Level 3. At that time, it would be very terrifying. There was a huge difference between the combat strength of a Level 1 and a Level 3. The cooperation of the three pets was not bad. Dark Concubine and Alchemist each killed 30. As for Blood Asura, it killed 40 spiders and obtained 30, 30, and 40 experience points respectively. Blood Jade Spider saw its cub die for a moment. It immediately let out an angry roar. ¡°Wuwuwu!¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± A white mass spewed out of the Blood Jade Spider¡¯s mouth. Ye Chen and his three pets hurriedly dodged. A ball of cobwebs landed on the barbed wire behind him and instantly sizzled. Ye Chen was shocked. ¡°This thing is actually corrosive!¡± Ye Chen said repeatedly, ¡°Go! Alchemist, use the Buff!¡± The Alchemist stretched out her small hand, and a ball of green light fused into Ye Chen¡¯s body. The Miracle Hand skill of the Alchemist not only had the effect of recovering health, but also increased attack, movement speed, and defense. She was simply a top-grade nanny! Dark Concubine was the first to attack, and her figure rode on the Blood Jade Spider¡¯s head. The dagger instantly stabbed towards the Blood Jade Spider¡¯s eyes. -500! The Blood Jade Spider felt the pain and stabbed at the Dark Concubine with its two front claws. Dark Concubine¡¯s figure immediately disappeared, and Blood Asura had already arrived under the Blood Jade Spider. A red light flashed, and the Blood Jade Spider¡¯s two front claws were cut off at the joint. The Blood Jade Spider lost its balance and fell to the ground. -1,200! ¡°Howl!¡± The Blood Jade Spider let out a painful cry. Its mouth suddenly widened, and another ball of spider silk sprayed towards Blood Asura. The blood wings behind Blood Asura flapped gently, dodging the spider silk and arriving on the head of the Blood Jade Spider. She swung the scythe again. The two sharp teeth of the Blood Jade Spider were also cut off neatly. -1,300! At this moment, the Blood Jade Spider only had 3,000 HP left. Ye Chen had already rushed in front of the Blood Jade Spider with the Thunderbolt Saber in his hand. ¡°First fold! Thunder Slash!¡± ¡°Zzpt!¡± A thunderclap sounded. Immediately, the Thunderbolt Saber emitted a dazzling lightning light. Ye Chen jumped up and arrived above the Blood Jade Spider. Immediately after, the Thunderbolt Saber descended ruthlessly. It slashed directly at the head of the Blood Jade Spider. -2,000! Pu! Pu! The Blood Jade Spider¡¯s huge head was split into two by the Thunderbolt Saber. Green blood flowed out of the wound like a stream. At this moment, the Blood Jade Spider only had 1,000 HP left. Ye Chen did not hesitate at all. Take its life while it¡¯s down! The Thunderbolt Saber was raised again and slashed at the Blood Jade Spider. -1,000! The Blood Jade Spider died instantly! Chapter 30 - Tang Qiu Joins Chapter 30 Tang Qiu Joins A piece of loot fell. The Critical Hit Card also gave the three pets double the experience points. (Alchemist] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Fire Strike Attributes: Fire Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Miracle Hand (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 900 Health: 15,000 Experience: 410/1,000 (Blood Asura] Level: Level 4 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 1,900 Health: 31,000 Experience: 430/3,000 (Dark Concubine] Level: Level 2 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Slash Attributes: Gold Level: Immortal Beast (Grade 8) Talent: Sword Manipulation Technique (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 1,000 Health: 17,000 Experience: 510/1,000 Before long, Dark Concubine and the Alchemist could both level up. After reaching Level 3, they would undergo a qualitative change. At that time, Ye Chen¡¯s combat strength would suddenly increase greatly. (Congratulations on obtaining 150 points.] (Sky Splitting Spear Fragment x2: Collect 100 fragments and you can synthesize the original form of the Sky Splitting Spear.] [Hell Mystic Realm Key Fragment x2: Collect 18 fragments. Can be combined into one key to open a small hell trial mystic realm.] (Demon God Armor Fragment x2: Collect 108 fragments. Can be synthesized into a piece of the Demon God Armor.

(Spider Web: Consumable. It can¡¯t be moved for a minute, but it can be attacked.] Looking at the loot on the ground, Ye Chen could not help but be happy. Level 9 monsters were indeed extraordinary. Their loot was so generous. Then, a Level 9 Origin Core floated into Ye Chen¡¯s inventory. The next second. Ye Chen left. After walking out of the biochemical research institute, Ye Chen headed straight for the road outside. On the road outside the western suburbs stood four figures. It was Lin Nuoyi, Tang Qiu, Zhu Qiang, and Tie Niu. They were looking at the biochemical research institute anxiously. When they saw Ye Chen appear, they were instantly overjoyed. ¡°Ye Chen?¡± ¡°Brother Chen!¡± ¡°Big Brother Ye Chen!¡± The three of them shouted excitedly. Then, Ye Chen came to their side and said with a smile, ¡°Sorry to make you worry.¡± Zhu Qiang smiled happily and said, ¡°Brother Chen, did you kill the Blood Jade Spider?¡± Ye Chen nodded, and Zhu Qiang immediately jumped up in joy. ¡°Damn, Brother Chen, you¡¯re so awesome!¡± ¡°Solo kill?¡± Tang Qiu¡¯s expression changed drastically, her face filled with disbelief. She knew very well how powerful this Blood Jade Spider was. Her entire team could be said to have been wiped out. Ye Chen had killed the Blood Jade Spider alone? This was impossible. Tang Qiu could not help but say, ¡°Ye Chen, you said that you killed that Blood Jade Spider?¡± Ye Chen nodded. Tang Qiu said coldly, ¡°Mr. Ye Chen, can you not joke around? That¡¯s a Level 9 Blood Jade Spider! Our entire team was almost wiped out. You said that you killed the Blood Jade Spider alone.¡± Zhu Qiang rolled his eyes at Tang Qiu. ¡°Captain Tang, just because your team can¡¯t do it doesn¡¯t mean that Brother Chen can¡¯t. It¡¯s you really jealous!¡± ¡°You!¡± Tang Qiu was instantly rendered speechless by Zhu Qiang. Ye Chen hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s done!¡± He took out the Eight Bone Soul Locking Spear, spider web, and the poison sac and placed them in front of the three of them. ¡°These are the items dropped by the Blood Jade Spider. The three of you can split them!¡± Tang Qiu looked at the things Ye Chen took out and her eyes widened. She knew that these were equipment dropped by the Blood Jade Spider. It seemed that Ye Chen was not lying. He had really killed the Blood Jade Spider alone. Tang Qiu looked at Ye Chen with a hint of fear in her eyes. As the captain of the law enforcement team, she always had a kind of pride in front of Ye Chen and the others. Now, this arrogance was completely shattered by Ye Chen. ¡°Big Brother Ye Chen, we don¡¯t want these things. After all, we didn¡¯t do much.¡± Tie Niu hurriedly refused. ¡°Cut the crap. Just take it! This poison sac is suitable for Lin Nuoyi, the Eight Bone Soul Locking Spear can be given to Tie Niu. Zhu Qiang, bear with it for now. You don¡¯t have any objections with this spider web, right?¡± The three of them quickly agreed. Lin Nuo picked up the poison sac and handed it to the Mersnake. The latter happily took the poison sac and placed it on her molars. The Vajra Ape¡¯s eyes lit up as it looked at the Eight Bone Soul Locking Spear and could not wait to equip it. The Eight Bone Soul Locking Spear instantly fused into the Vajra Ape¡¯s body. A moment later, the eight sharp legs of the Blood Jade Spider instantly appeared behind the Vajra Ape. Every spear shone with a palpitating light under the sun. It looked extremely ferocious. The Vajra Ape waved every spear with a very happy expression. Zhu Qiang put away the spider web. After dividing the spoils, Ye Chen looked at Tang Qiu and asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± Tang Qiu shook his head with a bitter expression and said, ¡°All my team members have died in battle. At the moment, I don¡¯t have the face to go back.¡± Ye Chen knew very well that as a member of the law enforcement team, Tang Qiu definitely had information that others did not. After thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°In that case, why don¡¯t you follow us first? When you want to go back, you can leave at any time. How about that?¡± Tang Qiu hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement. Following Ye Chen and the others seemed to be a good choice. Seeing that Tang Qiu agreed, Ye Chen smiled in satisfaction. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Let¡¯s find a place to stay first!¡± Everyone headed east. was There was a village in the city to the east, which was closer to them. In another hour, night would completely cover the land. Half an hour later, Ye Chen and the others arrived at the entrance of the village. This was a place called Liberation Village. Before this, it was a village with more people There were a few factories nearby, and people rented rooms here. However, there were not many people left. Fortunately, there were not many monsters here. They were just two Level 4 monsters. ¡°Go and kill them! Increase your experience.¡± ¡°Alright! Brother Chen.¡± Lin Nuoyi, Zhu Qiang, and Iron Bull attacked and finished off the two monsters. Due to the upgrade of their pets and the new equipment, the combat strength of the three of them instantly increased greatly. Killing monsters below Level 5 was nothing difficult. After finding a place, Ye Chen and the others moved in. In the house. Tang Qiu smiled and said, ¡°Captain Ye, do you have to find a place to stay every day?¡± Ye Chen looked at Tang Qiu in confusion, not knowing why she suddenly asked this question. Looking at Ye Chen¡¯s puzzled gaze, Tang Qiu smiled and said, ¡°Looks like you don¡¯t know yet. There¡¯s a house for exchange in the Monster Chat Group. You can use it at any time. Of course, you need to exchange it with gold coins.¡± Ye Chen was instantly stunned. To be honest, he really didn¡¯t know. Then, Ye Chen opened the Monster Chat Group. There was indeed the house exchange that Tang Qiu had mentioned. He would not have known if he did not look, but he was shocked. These houses were also divided into three levels: simple, high-end, and luxurious. Moreover, each level was divided into 1 to 9 levels. It was ridiculously expensive. Ye Chen could not help but sigh. It seemed that money was indispensable no matter what! Chapter 31 - Seventh Regions Divine Monkey Team Chapter 31 Seventh Region¡¯s Divine Monkey Team Ye Chen took a look and closed the Monster Chat Group. Even a simple level 1 house required 1,000 gold coins. F*ck. He could not afford it. Tang Qiu said again, ¡°You can also rent one. It¡¯s one gold coin each time, and you can stay there for 12 hours.¡± Ye Chen opened it again. As expected, it could be rented. However, it was only one gold coin each time. Actually, this was quite good. At least he did not have to find a place to live every day in the future. The night quickly fell, and the world turned silent. Everyone also fell asleep one by one. The next day. 8 a.m. The five of them had already arrived outside. It was a new day, so they had to hurry up and increase their strength. In this world, only strength is important. Ye Chen stretched and asked Tang Qiu, ¡°You should know more than us. Do you have any recommendations?¡±. Tang Qiu immediately knew what Ye Chen meant. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, ¡°Looks like Captain Ye is asking me for compensation.¡± Ye Chen immediately felt a little awkward. ¡°I don¡¯t mean that, but you can understand it that way.¡± Tang Qiu glanced at the watch on her wrist and said, ¡°Actually, this place is called the seventh region. There¡¯s a new mission on the mission board of the seventh region¡¯s law enforcement headquarters. There¡¯s a LV8 monster by the Jalu River in the east. Do you want to take a look?¡± ¡°Level 8?¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go there!¡± Then, the few of them set off for the Jalu River. On the way, Ye Chen asked curiously, ¡°Tang Qiu, the seventh region you mentioned is here. How many regions are there in total?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. My authority isn¡¯t that high, but the entire world has already fallen. Moreover, there are more and more monsters, and they¡¯re becoming stronger and stronger.¡± Ye Chen nodded. ¡°What¡¯s the mission you mentioned? Will there be a reward after completing it?¡± Tang Qiu rolled her eyes helplessly and complained, ¡°Big Brother Ye, can you not be so meticulous? At the very least, I have a Level 5 Legendary grade pet. I won¡¯t be a burden to you! I don¡¯t want the loot or the experience. You can¡¯t be thinking of leaving with the reward for this mission, right?¡± Ye Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. What I mean is that we can cooperate in the future. Tell us the mission and we¡¯ll help you complete it. We don¡¯t want your reward. We just want information. What do you think?¡± Tang Qiu thought about it and felt that Ye Chen¡¯s suggestion was good, so she agreed. ¡°Then can you tell me what the reward is now? I don¡¯t mean anything else. I¡¯m just curious!¡± Although Tang Qiu was a little speechless, she still said, ¡°Our law-enforcement team has a ranking. When we complete different missions, we will obtain different points. The higher the points, the more authority we have, and the more resources we can obtain.¡± Ye Chen nodded in understanding. ¡°We¡¯re here!¡± Lin Nuoyi suddenly said. In front of them was a dam. It could be said to be a relatively large embankment. There were lush trees on the shore and green grass around it. In the past, this was the best place for humans to go on an outing. At this moment, a rumbling sound came from above Ye Chen and the others. Then, a helicopter landed and five people quickly landed. They were all wearing the same combat uniforms, and their pets were not weak. The captain had a Level 5 Glaring Monkey, a Grade 4 Legendary creature. It was thin and tall, but its arms were extremely thick, and it had a pair of basketball-sized fists. The remaining four were all Level 3 Rare pets. ¡°This is the Divine Monkey Team¡¯s captain, Hou Qinghua. Looks like someone wants to fight with us for this mission.¡± Tang Qiu looked at the five of them and said. Ye Chen also nodded and echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right, and their overall strength is not low.¡± ¡°Then, should we leave or¡­?¡± Tang Qiu asked. A smile appeared on Ye Chen¡¯s lips. ¡°Leave? Why should we leave? The brave will win on a narrow path. Whoever is more capable will take this mission.¡± Ye Chen walked straight ahead. When they arrived at the riverbank, one monster was devouring another. (Devouring Toad] Level: Level 8 Attributes: Dark Technique: Devour Combat Strength: 1,800 Health: 4,200 Talent: Evolution (Unawakened) Note: Devouring Toads has the instinct to devour everything. As long as there¡¯s a living creature in front of it, it will eat it. Remember, don¡¯t touch its skin. Devouring Toads¡¯ skin has a fatal venom! ¡°Another monster with venom!¡± Zhu Qiang said helplessly. The Divine Monkey Team had already walked over. When Hou Qinghua saw Tang Qiu, he grinned and said, ¡°So it¡¯s Captain Tang. You¡¯re here for this mission too?¡± Hou Qinghua smiled with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks, looking exactly like a monkey. The other four were expressionless as they stood behind Hou Qinghua like robots. Tang Qiu clearly did not have a good impression of Hou Qinghua. He said coldly, ¡°Why I¡¯m here has nothing to do with you.¡± Hou Qinghua looked at Ye Chen and the others and still said with a smile, ¡°I heard that your Brazen Bull Team was wiped out yesterday, leaving you alone. Why? Are these your new team members? Oh, they¡¯re all Level 3, and there¡¯s even a Level 5 Mythic. Not bad, hahaha, but they¡¯re still trash! Hahaha!¡± Blood Asura was still in the pet space, so Hou Qinghua did not notice it. Tang Qiu was instantly furious when she heard this. ¡°Hou Qinghua! Show some respect!¡± ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t know how to. I haven¡¯t been to school before, so I don¡¯t know how to be polite! Haha, Mason, go!¡± Clang! A vine cage instantly fell on Ye Chen and the others¡¯ heads, trapping the five of them. ¡°Hou Qinghua, what do you mean!¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just feel sorry for you. You and your teammates can rest here well. Don¡¯t come out, okay? Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for not showing mercy! Leave this toad to our team!¡± Hou Qinghua laughed and led the team to the Devouring Toad. ¡°Hmph, this Hou Qinghua was a local hooligan previously. Just because he has a Grade 4 Legendary pet, he¡¯s arrogant!¡± Ye Chen looked at Hou Qinghua with interest and said, ¡°Is this Hou Qinghua very strong?¡± Tang Qiu said seriously, ¡°Their team is ranked 127th among all our teams.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not high!¡± Zhu Qiang said disapprovingly. ¡°It¡¯s not high?! You have to know that we¡¯re not the only district in the Seventh Region. There are also seven to eight cities and three districts around. It¡¯s a county-level city! There are thousands of teams!¡± Tang Qiu said agitatedly. Ye Chen asked curiously, ¡°Then what¡¯s your team¡¯s ranking?¡± ¡°523.¡± ¡°Ah! 523, don¡¯t you also have a Grade 4 Legendary pet?¡± Lin Nuoyi felt that it was a little unbelievable. The difference was too great. Tang Qiu could not help but smile bitterly. ¡°Their team is different from the other teams. Hou Qinghua¡¯s pet skill is Soul Assimilation. His team members were all controlled with Soul Assimilation and only listened to Hou Qinghua. Their tacit understanding is very high. Compared to others, they are obedient and good at fighting. Of course their ranking is high.¡± Zhu Qiang and the other two could not help but gasp. A team with very good teamwork was indeed a little terrifying. No wonder they were so arrogant. ¡°Should we break this cage?¡± Ye Chen looked at Tang Qiu and said with a smile, ¡°Why should we break it?¡± ¡°If we don¡¯t go out, won¡¯t they just complete this mission?¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s fine. Let them fight for a while. We¡¯ll go out later!¡± Tang Qiu immediately said anxiously, ¡°That won¡¯t do. The headquarters has clearly stipulated that we can¡¯t kill steal from the enforcement team!¡± Looking at Tang Qiu¡¯s anxious expression, Ye Chen got up indifferently. ¡°Heh!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not from your law enforcement team.¡± Chapter 32 - Run After Ks-ing Chapter 32 Run After Ks-ing Tang Qiu was stunned on the spot. She wanted to say something but did not. Zhu Qiang coaxed from the side, ¡°Yes, Brother Chen, this person is too arrogant. We¡¯ll beat him up later!¡± Hou Qinghua and the others had already arrived in front of the Devouring Toad. The Glaring Monkey was the first to rush out. Its two huge claws emitted flames as it struck the toad. Although the Glaring Monkey was a Level 5 pet, its damage was not as high as Blood Asura. After all, the difference in grade determined the difference in the foundation. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth. This attack only caused the Devouring Toad to lose 500 HP. The four people behind Hou Qinghua who had been silent all along instantly threw out their hands in unison. Four pets appeared on the spot and rushed towards the Devouring Toad. The four pets were all Level 4, and like the Glaring Monkey, they were all wood-attributed. There was a Big-eared Cow, a Flower Vine, a Four-armed Cat, and a One-eyed Worm. The four pets seemed to be the same person as they attacked the toad. The Devouring Toad¡¯s defense was relatively high. The four pets attacked together and only shaved off more than 600 HP. Ye Chen and the others sat in the cage and watched leisurely. Only Tang Qiu¡¯s expression was not too good. If Ye Chen really attacked later, she would definitely be criticized by her superiors when she returned to the law enforcement team. Moreover, she would offend Hou Qinghua. She did not expect Ye Chen, who looked so righteous, to have such a black-bellied side. It had to be said that Hou Qinghua was really something. Under Hou Qinghua¡¯s arrangements, he dealt with this Level 8 Devouring Toad with ease. After a while, the Devouring Toad only had less than 2,000 HP left. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Zhu Qiang was a little anxious. When Ye Chen heard this, he stood up and ordered, ¡°Tie Niu, let the Vajra Ape cut open this cage.¡± Tie Niu immediately ordered, and the Eight Bones Soul Locking Spear suddenly erupted from behind the Vajra Ape. Swish! Swish! With two slashes, the cage was cut open. The figure of Blood Asura suddenly appeared. ¡°Go!¡± The Mersnake jumped onto the Vajra Ape¡¯s shoulder, and the Vajra Ape jumped up. This jump was ten meters high. The Vajra Ape instantly arrived above the Devouring Toad. The Eight Bones Soul Locking Spear behind him suddenly deformed. The sharp blades stabbed at the toad below. -700! Eight bloody holes appeared on the toad¡¯s sturdy back. At the same time. The Mersnake spat venom at the wound. -200! -200! -200! The Devouring Toad instantly only had 500 HP left. When Hou Qinghua saw this, he was instantly furious. ¡°Tang Qiu, what the hell are you trying to do!¡± Before Tang Qiu could speak, Hou Qinghua¡¯s four pets surrounded the Vajra Ape and the Mersnake. At the same time, he hurriedly asked the Glaring Monkey to attack. However, before the Glaring Monkey could reach the toad, a red light appeared. Shua! -500! The scythe in Blood Asura¡¯s hand slashed across the head of the toad. The Devouring Toad died instantly. Zhu Qiang did not hesitate and stepped forward to keep the loot. Blood Asura immediately returned to Ye Chen¡¯s side and looked at the Glaring Monkey with a teasing smile. Hou Qinghua¡¯s expression was extremely gloomy. He looked at Tang Qiu and suppressed his anger. ¡°Tang Qiu, what do you mean?¡± Tang Qiu sighed helplessly and turned her head to the side. Ye Chen said, ¡°It¡¯s not Tang Qiu¡¯s idea. It¡¯s mine.¡± Hou Qinghua instantly looked at Ye Chen. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re courting death.¡± Ye Chen said indifferently, ¡°This is your return gift for imprisoning us!¡± Hou Qinghua¡¯s expression was abnormally ugly as he looked at Tang Qiu. ¡°Tang Qiu, are these your new team members?¡± Zhu Qiang laughed loudly and scolded, ¡°Who told you that we¡¯re her team members? This is our captain, Ye Chen, our big brother!¡± Hou Qinghua suddenly realized and sneered. ¡°What was I thinking? So you¡¯re not from the law enforcement team. Kid, I¡¯ll give you two choices. The first is to hand over the items and kneel down to apologize. The second is to kill you!¡± ¡°F*ck you!¡± Zhu Qiang cursed and pulled out a handful of wild grass from the ground, throwing it at Hou Qinghua. Zhu Qiang¡¯s throw was extremely accurate. The weeds with mud smashed into Hou Qinghua¡¯s face. Hou Qinghua wiped the mud off his face with a dark expression and was instantly furious. ¡°You¡¯re really courting death! Glaring Monkey, attack! Kill them all!¡± ¡°Pig Dragon, smash it to death!¡± Oink! Oink! Pig Dragon was not afraid at all. It took a deep breath and bumped into the Glaring Monkey. Bang! Although the Glaring Monkey was Level 5, it was still knocked back a few meters by the Pig Dragon. Pig Dragon raised its head proudly and snorted. ¡°Ye Chen, stop! He sent a request for reinforcements at the headquarters! Three teams are already rushing over!¡± Tang Qiu flashed her watch and said anxiously. When Ye Chen heard this, he did not hesitate and chuckled. It will not be too late to find an opportunity to take revenge. ¡°Retreat!¡± ¡°Pig Dragon, retreat!¡± ¡°Vajra Ape, go!¡± The Vajra Ape jumped up with the Mersnake on its back and jumped to the shore from the encirclement of the four people. The Pig Dragon had already run over. ¡°Kid, stop right there!¡± Hou Qinghua shouted from behind them. Zhu Qiang cursed as he ran, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m stupid!¡± Hou Qinghua was clearly indignant. He led the four of teammates and chased after Ye Chen and the others crazily. Tang Qiu said anxiously, ¡°Ye Chen, they¡¯re all of the wood-attribute and have the ability to recover their strength. They¡¯ll catch up to us sooner or later!¡± Zhu Qiang smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Watch me!¡± Then, Zhu Qiang took out a spider web from his backpack and threw it at Hou Qinghua. Before the spider web unfolded, it was just a small white dot. Hou Qinghua did not notice the spider web that was thrown over. Bang! Splash! The moment the spider web touched Hou Qinghua, it instantly unfolded. It wrapped around Hou Qinghua tightly. Due to inertia. Bang! Hou Qinghua fell to the ground. ¡°Bastards! Just you wait. I¡¯ll remember you. One day, I¡¯ll kill all of you!¡± Hou Qinghua cursed angrily behind him. Zhu Qiang mocked loudly, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you to eat shit there!¡± ¡°Ahhhhhh!¡± Hou Qinghua roared angrily! Half an hour later. When the five of them arrived at a forest. Only then did they stop. ¡°Brother Chen, is this considered robbery?!¡± Zhu Qiang said happily. Ye Chen smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯re all cultured people. What robbery? We just saw that they were in danger and helped them.¡± ¡°Haha, Big Brother Ye Chen, you¡¯re too bad!¡± Tie Niu laughed, but Tang Qiu frowned and said unhappily, ¡°You¡¯ve completely offended Hou Qinghua and the law enforcement team!¡± Ye Chen said indifferently. ¡°So what? I don¡¯t believe that the law enforcement team is filled with people like him!¡± Tang Qiu sighed helplessly. ¡°I¡¯ll be in trouble when I return to the law enforcement team in the future. Sigh!¡± Then, Ye Chen took out an item and threw it to Tang Qiu. It was the core that he had taken out before the toad¡¯s corpse disappeared. ¡°Here, this is for you. This way, you can complete the mission, right?¡± Ye Chen looked at the unhappy Tang Qiu and said. Tang Qiu accepted the core and smiled. ¡°Take this as your compensation.¡± Ye Chen curled his lips and smiled without saying anything. At this moment. Suddenly, an ear-piercing cry sounded above everyone¡¯s heads. Chapter 33 - Arriving at Qing County Chapter 33 Arriving at Qing County Everyone instantly raised their guard and hurriedly looked up. On a towering tree, a two-meter-tall black crow stood on a thick branch. I looked like a crow, but it was not a crow. This creature was covered in black feathers and had a pair of blood-red eyes. The beak was half a meter long. The sharp claws on its legs were even sharper than an eagle¡¯s. (Black Crow] Level: Level 2 Attributes: Wind Skill: Beak Strike Grade: Mythic (Grade 5) Talent: Feathers Transformation (Not Awakened) Combat Strength: 900 Health: 12,000 Blood Asura spun its scythe and was about to rush forward. ¡°Blood Asura, wait!¡± Ye Chen hurriedly stopped her. Only then did Blood Asura stop, but it was already staring fixedly at the black crow above. ¡°Brother Chen, what¡¯s wrong? It¡¯s just a Level 2 monster. Can¡¯t the Blood Asura deal with it herself?¡± Zhu Qiang asked curiously. Tang Qiu said, ¡°This is not a monster. This is a pet.¡± Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said to Black Crow. ¡°Stop hiding and come out!¡± Then, a head popped out from behind the black crow. A 19-year-old youth stuck his head out. Only then did Lin Nuo and Tie Niu relax. The youth greeted everyone in embarrassment, ¡°Hello, my name is Little Tian.¡± The youth called Little Tian patted Black Crow¡¯s back. ¡°Little Black, go down.¡± The black crow slowly flapped its wings and descended from the tree. Little Tian also climbed down from the black crow and limped to Ye Chen and the others. Only then did Ye Chen realize that Little Tian¡¯s body was crippled. He could not help but ask, ¡°Why are you in the forest with your pet?¡± Little Tian touched his head and smiled in embarrassment. ¡°There are monsters outside. I was afraid, so I hid in the forest.¡± Zhu Qiang looked up at the tree and said in surprise. ¡°Good lord, you built a house on it.¡± Everyone looked up. There was a large tree with a small wooden hut between two thick branches. ¡°It¡¯s too dangerous outside and on the ground, so I built a house above. I usually let Little Black fly out to look for food and drink.¡± Good lord! Little Tian treated his pet as a nanny. Black Crow stood at the side and shook its feathers from time to time. Ye Chen already understood what was going on, so he said, ¡°Alright, be careful here alone.¡± With that, Ye Chen prepared to continue walking forward. He definitely could not continue filming in this area now. If they encountered the law enforcement team that Hou Qinghua knew, it would be another problem. ¡°Big Brother, it¡¯s dangerous up ahead. There¡¯s a factory in front. It¡¯s a black-hearted workshop filled with bad people!¡± Little Tian suddenly said from behind. Ye Chen suddenly turned around, his eyes lit up. ¡°Bad guys? How strong are they?¡± Little Tian scratched his head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that either. In any case, they¡¯re quite powerful. If you want to go over, you should take that small path!¡± He pointed in the other direction. Ye Chen smiled and nodded. He threw the Tiger Skin Divine Robe to Little Tian. ¡°This is the Tiger Skin Divine Robe. It can let you hide from monsters below Level 10. However, it can¡¯t hide you from the sight of humans. Be careful here alone.¡± The Tiger Skin Divine Robe was already useless to Ye Chen and the others. After all, monsters below Level 10 were not much of a threat to Ye Chen and the others. When he saw Little Tian, Ye Chen thought of his younger brother in reality. Little Tian looked at the Tiger Skin Divine Robe in his hand and was immediately touched. ¡°Big Brother, what¡¯s your name!¡± ¡°Ye Chen!¡± After everyone left, Little Tian stood there for a long time before returning to the top of the tree and continuing to hide. On the way. Tang Qiu said sarcastically, ¡°Captain Ye is really generous. You gave away such a good thing just like that!¡± Ye Chen laughed dryly and did not speak. This girl could not recognize reality. She thought that she was still the captain of the law enforcement team! Half an hour later. Hou Qinghua brought another team into the forest. He called Little Tian down from the tree and asked about the whereabouts of Ye Chen and the others. Having received Ye Chen¡¯s help, Little Tian naturally did not tell the truth. He pointed out the location of the black-hearted workshop to Hou Qinghua. After Hou Qinghua left, Little Tian rode the black crow and fled. He continued to find other trees to live in. A living person could not be hung to death by a tree. At this moment, Ye Chen and the others had already arrived at the periphery of a village. Lin Nuoyi looked at the map on his phone and said, ¡°After passing this village in front, you can reach the highway intersection. If you follow the highway, you can reach Qing County.¡± ¡°This village is called Gao Village.¡± Ye Chen looked at the time and said, ¡°There¡¯s still smoke in the village ahead. There should be someone there.¡± ¡°Shall we go over and take a look?¡± Ye Chen nodded and walked towards the village. This place was remote and had fields for a few kilometers. Therefore, there were not many monsters here. As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, a group of young people suddenly appeared and shouted, ¡°What are you doing!¡± These people should be the villagers of the village. They were all in their thirties and their pets were only Level 2 and Level 3 Rare grade. Ye Chen cupped his hands and said, ¡°I¡¯m Ye Chen. These people are my teammates. We want to go to the highway intersection ahead. There¡¯s no other meaning.¡± The leader held the shovel and looked at Ye Chen and the others. ¡°My name is Gao Xing of Gao Family Village, we won¡¯t let you pass here. You can go elsewhere!¡± Tang Qiu frowned when she heard this. Gao Chao, who was beside Gao Xing, tugged at his clothes and said, ¡°Village Chief, their pets are at least Level 3. The pet of that person called Ye Chen is also at Level 4. We should be more polite.¡± When Gao Xing heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly checked their information. ¡°Sh*t, it¡¯s a Level 4 pet, a Grade 7 Sage.¡± Gao Xing instantly felt fear and uneasiness. He hurriedly said, ¡°Big brothers and sisters, if you want to pass, go ahead. However, please don¡¯t hurt our villagers. We still have many unarmed old people and children in our village!¡± Gao Xing stuttered a little. Tang Qiu instantly curled her lips. ¡°Who¡¯s your big sister? I¡¯m only 25 years old!¡± She was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it, so she was immediately dissatisfied. ¡°Miss, Little Sister, I was wrong. Please! Please!¡± Ye Chen glanced at Tang Qiu and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± He led the four of them forward. When they passed by Gao Xing and the other villagers, they hurriedly lowered their heads. This was respect for the strong. After walking out of the village, the entrance to the highway was not far ahead. At this moment, the high-speed toll station was already in ruins. There were broken cars parked intermittently on the highway. It seemed that there were also monsters on the highway before this. Looking at the miserable scene, Lin Nuoyi could not help but sigh. ¡°I wonder if this world can still return to how it was before.¡± Ye Chen comforted her. ¡°We don¡¯t know if we can return to how we were before, but our main goal is still to survive.¡± Lin Nuoyi nodded and said nothing. After walking along the highway for more than two hours, the highway entrance finally appeared in front of them. The broken sign said: Welcome to Qing County. Like the previous entrance, this place was also in ruins. Everyone had now arrived at Qing County¡¯s territory. However¡­ This place still belonged to the Seventh Region. Chapter 34 - Roof of the Hospital Chapter 34 Roof of the Hospital The five of them walked down the highway and arrived at Qing County. Ye Chen looked at Tang Qiu and smiled. ¡°Captain Tang, do you have a mission in Qing County?¡± Tang Qiu was helpless. He looked at his watch and frowned. Looking at Tang Qiu¡¯s unnatural expression, Ye Chen asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I feel that there¡¯s something wrong with this Green County?¡± Tang Qiu said meaningfully. Ye Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he was slightly puzzled. ¡°Questions? What questions?¡± Tang Qiu placed her watch close to Ye Chen. On the watch was a row of missions. There was another message below: Acceptance Teams: 9 Mission Failure: 9 In other words, nine teams had already taken on this mission, but they had all failed. This mission was not very difficult. It was just killing a Level 7 monster. Zhu Qiang said, ¡°Could it be that the law enforcement team here is too weak?¡± Tang Qiu shook his head and said, ¡°That¡¯s impossible. The Law Enforcement Bureau has a lot of resources to nurture these warriors. It¡¯s impossible for them to fail!¡± A lot of resources? To be honest, Ye Chen was very curious about the large amount of resources Tang Qiu mentioned Where did the law enforcement bureau get so many resources from? After all, it had only been less than two days since the monsters descended on the world. However, Tang Qiu treated this matter as a top secret and would not say it out loud. Ye Chen did not ask and immediately said, ¡°Then let us go and meet this Level 7 monster!¡± Tang Qiu nodded and led the way. This time, they were going to a hospital. The hospital was located in the city center. It was called the First People¡¯s Hospital in Qing County. Qing County was a very ancient county. Its population was no less than the city Ye Chen was in previously. As they walked on the streets, they would encounter some people from time to time. Before long, the five of them arrived at the hospital. The hospital door opened. It was filled with burned-out abandoned cars. However, for some reason. There were also some Level 1 and Level 2 monsters in the courtyard. Towards these monsters, Blood Ashura did not waste much effort to kill them and obtained a wave of experience. When they arrived at the clinic, Tang Qiu suddenly stopped. ¡°In the clinic building. I think it¡¯s the rooftop.¡± Ye Chen looked up and did not find anything wrong. ¡°Let¡¯s go up!¡± They reached the stairs and climbed up. The clinic was not too tall. It had a total of 11 floors. After a while, the five of them arrived at the entrance of the roof. Standing at the entrance, they could vaguely hear a low moan outside. ¡°Pig Dragon, break the door open!¡± The door of the roof was a very heavy fire door. Pig Dragon snorted and slammed the door open. The light on the rooftop instantly appeared in front of the five of them. What followed was a monster with a dog¡¯s head and a cat¡¯s body. [Cat Dog Hybrid) Level: Level 7 Attributes: Water Skill: Madness Combat Strength: 1,100 Health: 3,700 Note: The Madness skill is a form of rabies. If bitten by the Cat Dog Hybrid, one will lose their mind! Roar! When the Cat Dog Hybrid saw them, it roared. Tang Qiu looked at the Cat Dog Hybrid and frowned. ¡°This¡­ There¡¯s nothing special about this.¡± Ye Chen came to the rooftop and looked at the Cat Dog Hybrid in front of him. Just as the five of them reached the rooftop, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them. Ye Chen and the others hurriedly turned around and saw nine figures smiling at them. However, that smile was filled with mockery. After checking their information, Ye Chen frowned. Level 6 Jade Dragon, Grade 5 Mythic. Level 4 Beetle, Grade 3 Rare. Level 4 Mountain Bear, Grade 4 Legendary. Level 4 Flower Candle, Grade 3 Rare. Level 4 Giant Horse Grade 3 Rare. They were all Level 4 pets. The leader was called Tian Xuhao, a tall fatty. He looked at Ye Chen and the others and chuckled. ¡°Oh? It¡¯s the law enforcement team again. There¡¯s even a Level 5 pet. Yiyaya, there¡¯s another one. Oh my god, there¡¯s also a Level 4 and Grade 7 Sage pet!¡± A man with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks laughed and said, ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve struck gold this time. They¡¯re clearly stronger than the law-enforcement team from last time!¡± When Tang Qiu heard this, she was instantly furious. ¡°Did you kill those law enforcement teams earlier?¡± Tian Xuhao smiled disapprovingly. ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t be so rash. That¡¯s right, I killed them all. What¡¯s the saying?¡± Tian Xuhao patted his head and looked at Jia Shun. Jia Shun chuckled and said, ¡°It¡¯s better to kill one person than search a city!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Fighting monsters and leveling up is too slow. The levels of your law enforcement team are not low, so we¡¯ll just accept it with a smile. Hahaha!¡± ¡°Bastard!¡± Tang Qiu gritted her teeth and cursed, acting like she wanted to hit Tian Xuhao and the others. Ye Chen hurriedly held Tang Qiu back. ¡°Don¡¯t be rash! You¡¯ll be courting death if you go up!¡± Ye Chen also knew that the nine law enforcement teams must have been tricked by Tian Xuhao and the others when they came here to carry out the mission to hunt the Cat Dog Hybrid It had to be said that Tian Xuhao and the others were definitely not weak. Otherwise, those teams would not have any chance to escape. ¡°I say, the few of you, if you have anything to say, say it quickly. After that, hurry up and die!¡± Jia Shun shouted loudly. Lin Nuoyi tugged at Ye Chen¡¯s clothes and said, ¡°Ye Chen, what should we do? These people are clearly stronger than Jiang Hu and the others from last time!¡± Ye Chen patted Lin Nuoyi¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Is the Corrosive Black Mist with you?¡± Lin Nuoyi nodded. Ye Chen quietly placed his hand behind his back and she hurriedly placed the Corrosive Black Mist in his hand. Immediately! Ye Chen suddenly threw the Corrosive Black Mist at the nine people in front of him. Bang! The black mist exploded. A black fog suddenly enveloped the nine of them. ¡°Damn it, this kid is playing dirty!¡± ¡°What is this? Why can¡¯t I see anything!¡± Ye Chen hurriedly shouted, ¡°Quick! Retreat! Vajra Ape, bring us down!¡± The Vajra Ape roared and instantly activated its berserk state. Its figure suddenly doubled in size. The Mersnake, Pig Dragon, Zhu Qiang, Tang Qiu, and the others hurriedly jumped onto the Vajra Ape¡¯s broad back. The Vajra Ape turned around and jumped off the roof. Bang! The Vajra Ape landed heavily on the ground and hurriedly ran out with everyone. This height was nothing to the Vajra Ape. After Ye Chen landed, he did not leave immediately. This was because he knew that Tian Xuhao¡¯s Jade Dragon had the ability to fly. If they ran together, Tian Xuhao would definitely catch up to them. At this moment, Tian Xuhao had already rushed out of the black fog. When he saw the people who had already fled, his face was slightly angry. It had always been them who schemed against others. This time, they were schemed against by others. It was really annoying. Shua! Tian Xuhao placed two fingers in his mouth and whistled. The Jade Dragon flapped its wings and flew to Tian Xuhao¡¯s side. Without any hesitation, he rode on the Jade Dragon¡¯s back and chased after the others. Ye Chen said to the Blood Asura, ¡°Go, slash it!¡± Blood Asura immediately flew into the air and slashed at the Jade Dragon¡¯s legs. The Jade Dragon¡¯s skin was rough and its flesh was thick. This attack only caused a small wound to it. But it was in pain and looked down angrily. Blood Asura¡¯s figure flashed and arrived beside Ye Chen. Ye Chen shouted at Tian Xuhao, ¡°Hey, come over!¡± Tian Xuhao looked at Tang Qiu and the others who were escaping, then at Ye Chen below. He was a little hesitant. Chapter 35 - Would You Believe Me If I Said My Pets Were Triplets Chapter 35 Would You Believe Me If I Said My Pets Were Triplets Ye Chen immediately shouted, ¡°Are you afraid? Afraid of a Level 6 Mythic pet is afraid?¡± ¡°Why would I be afraid of you? Kid, you¡¯re courting death!¡± Tian Xuhao had killed countless people, so he was naturally not afraid of Ye Chen. He immediately rode the Jade Dragon and rushed down. Ye Chen hurriedly said, ¡°Blood Asura, retreat first and lure him away!¡± Blood Asura flew above Ye Chen and followed in his direction. After running for more than ten minutes, Ye Chen stopped at a gas station. The next second. eri Tian Xuhao appeared behind Ye Chen on his Jade Dragon. ¡°Kid, run! Continue running!¡± Tian Xuhao looked at Ye Chen mockingly. Ye Chen turned around and grinned. ¡°Why should I run?¡± ¡°Haha, kid, you¡¯re really arrogant. Aren¡¯t you going to run? Then die!¡± (Jade Dragon] Level: Level 6 Attributes: Fire Skill: Flame Wave Grade: Mythic (Grade 5) Combat Strength: 2,400 Health: 47,000 Talent: Fire Body (Unawakened) ¡°Go!¡± The Jade Dragon let out a loud cry. Its huge wings flapped quickly as it rushed towards Ye Chen. It was huge and stood four meters tall. Its entire body was green like a jade sculpture. Its wings were two meters wide, and its two claws were incomparably sharp. At some point, a laser gun appeared in Tian Xuhao¡¯s hand. It should be the weapon he had snatched from the law enforcement team. Although the laser gun could not cause much damage to monsters and pets, if it hit Ye Chen, he would really be injured. The Jade Dragon stretched out its two claws and dived at Blood Asura. Tian Xuhao also aimed his laser gun at Ye Chen. Pet vs pet. Human vs human. Blood Asura was violent by nature and did not hesitate at all. However, she did not let her guard down against an opponent at Level 6. Red light flashed. A ball of red light in the shape of flames danced on Blood Asura¡¯s body, and the red eyes of the Reaper¡¯s Scythe became incomparably red. She directly activated her skill. Bloodthirst. Bzzt! A burst of lightning sounded. Ye Chen also took out the Thunderbolt Saber. Clang! The laser gun and laser bullets hit the Thunderbolt Saber with a crisp collision sound. The moment Tian Xuhao saw the Thunderbolt Saber, his eyes widened. ¡°Damn, this kid has a lot of gold coins. He actually exchanged for such a powerful weapon!¡± Tian Xuhao recognized that the Thunderbolt Saber in Ye Chen¡¯s hand was not an ordinary weapon. At the very least, it was a powerful weapon. The greed in his heart instantly rose, and his killing intent towards Ye Chen became even stronger. Blood Ashura had already begun an intense battle with the Jade Dragon. Her figure was smaller, so her advantage was even more obvious. With her small figure, she kept circling around the jade dragon and attacked it from time to time. Although the Jade Dragon¡¯s skin was thick, it lost nearly 5,000 HP under Blood Asura¡¯s critical strikes. It felt that Blood Asura was like a fly, extremely annoying. ¡®Howl!¡¯ The Jade Dragon let out a loud roar. It roared at the sky. Then, it took a deep breath and flames spewed out of its mouth! Intense flames shot towards Blood Asura. Blood Asura hurriedly dodged, but she was still caught by the flames which landed on its clothes. A hole was burned in her red dress. Blood Asura¡¯s canine teeth were instantly exposed. She was enraged. The scythe spun quickly and was thrown out. (Ding] [Ding] (Ding] The Reaper¡¯s Scythe caused a total of three damage points to the Jade Dragon, and every strike hit the same spot on the Jade Dragon. Pfft! The area on the Jade Dragon¡¯s body was lacerated and bleeding. When Tian Xuhao saw that the Jade Dragon was so injured, his heart ached. ¡°Damn it, damn it!¡± Tian Xuhao immediately bought a Blood Qi Pill from the monster shop and gave it to the Jade Dragon to consume. The injuries on the Jade Dragon¡¯s body suddenly recovered. Ye Chen could not help but frown. Fighting people was much harder than fighting monsters. Humans could recover the health of their pets. If he could not kill the pet in a short period of time, he would fall into a bitter battle. Ye Chen no longer hesitated and summoned the Alchemist and the Dark Concubine. Two smaller figures appeared beside Ye Chen. When the Blood Asura saw the two of them come out, she immediately came to their side. The three sisters were very close and stood side by side. When Tian Xuhao saw this, his pupils constantly dilated. What was going on? He hurriedly rubbed his eyes, feeling that his eyes were playing tricks on him. ¡°Sage grade! Sage grade! Immortal Beast grade???¡± Three pets! This matter had already exceeded Tian Xuhao¡¯s understanding. Didn¡¯t they say that everyone could only have one pet at most? Why did this kid have three?! Tian Xuhao immediately panicked. Although the Alchemist and the Dark Concubine were only at Level 2, they were of a higher grade. Moreover, there were three of them, and their Grades were all above the Jade Dragon. As the saying went, two fists were no match for four hands. Moreover, this was six hands! ¡°Kid! Why do you have three pets!¡± Ye Chen smiled and said, ¡°Would you believe me if I said that the pet I summoned was a triplet?¡± ¡°Are you stupid!¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here to tease fools. Cut the crap. Come on! Let¡¯s fight to the death!¡± Blood Asura moved out again. With the help of the Alchemist and the Dark Concubine, Blood Asura¡¯s aura immediately increased greatly. From the looks of it, the Alchemist was the eldest sister, Blood Asura was the second sister, and Dark Concubine was the third sister. Dark Concubine¡¯s figure suddenly disappeared and appeared above Tian Xuhao¡¯s head in a second. She stabbed her bright dagger at Tian Xuhao¡¯s head. Tian Xuhao hurriedly controlled the Jade Dragon to change directions. Dark Concubine¡¯s level was still a little low, so her attack actually missed. Blood Asura appeared and slashed its blood-red scythe at the Jade Dragon¡¯s neck. Blood immediately spewed out. A wound appeared on the Jade Dragon¡¯s thick neck. Tian Xuhao hurriedly controlled the Jade Dragon to activate its skill. It suddenly took a deep breath and prepared to shoot out flames. However, the target was Ye Chen. Tian Xuhao knew that if he killed Ye Chen, the matter would naturally be resolved. The Alchemist stood in front of Ye Chen and also used her skill, Fire Strike! Whoosh! A ferocious flame spewed out of the Jade Dragon¡¯s mouth. Whoosh! The Alchemist also released a flame. The two collided. There was an explosion. However, the Alchemist¡¯s attack power was still low. Her flames were scattered, but the Jade Dragon¡¯s flames were still continuing. Tian Xuhao was overjoyed. Whoosh! Another flame was emitted from the Alchemist¡¯s mouth, greatly unexpected by Tian Xuhao. What Tian Xuhao did not know was that the Alchemist¡¯s fire attack was three attacks. This flame collided with the Jade Dragon¡¯s flames again, emitting another explosion. The Jade Dragon¡¯s flames were finally stopped, but the Alchemist¡¯s attacks did not stop. The last flame was also the most powerful one. She directed it towards Yu Long and Tian Xuhao. Tian Xuhao did not have the time to react before he was hit by the Alchemist. His body was instantly charred black. Blood Asura seized the opportunity and moved quickly. The Reaper¡¯s Scythe spun again. In the next second, it landed on the Jade Dragon¡¯s huge head. Dark Concubine¡¯s figure flashed and arrived under the Jade Dragon. The sharp dagger was stabbed into the Jade Dragon¡¯s thick stomach. This Jade Dragon will be treated with a disembowelment today! Chapter 36 - Killing the Jade Dragon Chapter 36 Killing the Jade Dragon Although they had succeeded, Blood Asura and Dark Concubine did not stop there. Blood Asura slashed at one of the Jade Dragon¡¯s wings, and Dark Concubine stabbed her dagger into the other wing. Roar! Roar! The Jade Dragon¡¯s two wings were seriously injured and it let out a scream. Bang! It fell heavily to the ground from the sky, its health almost exhausted. Ye Chen¡¯s figure also flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived beside Tian Xuhao. The latter was about to get up when the Thunderbolt Saber was instantly pressed against Tian Xuhao¡¯s neck. Tian Xuhao¡¯s figure also froze. He looked at Ye Chen and swallowed his saliva, his face filled with fear and unwillingness. Ye Chen smiled at the half-squatting Tian Xuhao. ¡°I only need one slash to kill you.¡± Tian Xuhao glared at Ye Chen and did not speak for a long time. He was still a little stubborn. ¡°Since you have nothing to say, go to hell!¡± Ye Chen raised his Thunderbolt Saber and was about to slash down when Tian Xuhao hurriedly shouted, ¡°Wait!¡± ¡°If you have any last words, say them quickly.¡± Tian Xuhao sat on the ground and said, ¡°You¡¯re not from Qing County, right?¡± ¡°How did you find out?¡± Tian Xuhao smiled and said, ¡°I can tell at a glance. If you let me go, I¡¯ll bring you out of Qing County. Qing County is not a place you can come to.¡± Ye Chen was slightly stunned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Tian Xuhao sneered. ¡°Isn¡¯t that simple? Did you see a living person on the way here?¡± Ye Chen shook his head slightly. ¡°Because everyone here is dead. We killed them!¡± ¡°Eh?¡± Ye Chen was shocked. Ever since he came to the territory of Qing County, he had indeed not seen a single living person. ¡°You killed all of them? The nine of you?¡± ¡°Haha! Of course not. We¡¯re just one of them!¡± Ye Chen frowned even more. ¡°Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?¡± Tian Xuhao glanced at Ye Chen and spoke with a hint of pride. ¡°The largest organization here is not the law enforcement team or anyone else, but our organization, the Green Alliance. Our Alliance Master has a Level 8 pet, a Grade 6 Supreme.¡± ¡°If you want to join our Green Alliance, your pets must be at least Grade 4 Legendary!¡± Level 8 pet? It leveled up so quickly? Ye Chen said repeatedly, ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± Tian Xuhao suddenly laughed out loud. ¡°What¡¯s impossible? How many people are there in Qing County? Do you know what it means to raise pigs and offer sacrifices?¡± ¡°We will let those who are not qualified to join our organization develop. When their pets reach Level 4, our core members will kill them and absorb their experience.¡± ¡°Our Green Alliance has the final say in this Qing County!¡± Ye Chen suddenly said, ¡°Who exactly is your Alliance Master?¡± ¡°Hmph, not only is our Alliance Master the Alliance Master now, but he was also the boss of the largest underground force here in the past. We used to follow him!¡± ¡°In the past, there might still be people we¡¯re afraid of, but now, we¡¯re the heavens of this Qing County! Kid, we became friends after a fight. If you let me go, we¡¯ll write off the debt. If you dare to kill me, you¡¯ll face the pursuit of our entire Green Alliance.¡± ¡°I know you have Sage grade pets, and you have three. But do you think you can fight against the entire Green Alliance and a Level 8 pet?¡± Tian Xuhao looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with confidence as he spoke. This fellow¡¯s tone made Ye Chen very uncomfortable. ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Tian Xuhao grinned. He was a little afraid just now, but now that he announced the name of the Green Alliance, he was a little indifferent and said disdainfully, ¡°You can think of it like that!¡± Ye Chen looked at Blood Asura and asked her to bring Lin Nuoyi and the others over. Blood Asura did as she was told. At the same time, Ye Chen noticed that Tian Xuhao¡¯s hand was fiddling with something in his pocket. ¡°Sure. Then, as you said, I¡¯ll let you go. Our slate will be wiped clean.¡± Tian Xuhao laughed out loud. ¡°Brother, that¡¯s right. We¡¯ll be good brothers from now on!¡± He quickly stood up and stretched out his right hand to Ye Chen. Ye Chen shook it. At this moment, Tian Xuhao quickly gave the Jade Dragon a Blood Qi Pill. He rode the Jade Dragon and prepared to leave. The Jade Dragon flapped its wings and came into the air. Ye Chen looked at Dark Concubine and gave her a look. Dark Concubine instantly understood and her figure suddenly disappeared. In the next second, she appeared behind Tian Xuhao. A cold light flashed. The dagger cut through Tian Xuhao¡¯s neck, and blood sprayed out. Tian Xuhao died instantly, and the Jade Dragon lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Shua! Ye Chen quickly came to Tian Xuhao¡¯s side and took out a phone from his pocket. After turning on his phone. There was an unsent message: ¡°Outsiders have been discovered on Seventh Street. They have three pets above the Sage Realm!¡± Ye Chen looked at the dead Tian Xuhao and could not help but feel apologetic. Although Tian Xuhao was not a good person, he still kept his promise. The debt was really written off just like that. If he had not agreed just now, this information would have probably been sent out. Ye Chen was afraid that Tian Xuhao had already leaked the news, so he killed him. Only now did he know that he had wronged Tian Xuhao. Although this guy was bad, he kept his promise. Perhaps this was the honor of a hooligan! Damn loyalty. ¡°In this world, I have no choice but to be careful. For the sake of my companions and my safety, I can only sacrifice you.¡± ¡°Besides, you really deserve to die.¡± Ye Chen looked at Tian Xuhao¡¯s corpse and shook his head slightly. His face was indifferent and expressionless. After putting away all of Tian Xuhao¡¯s items, Ye Chen immediately rushed towards Blood Asura. Tian Xuhao was quite rich and had a lot of loot. There were more than 500 gold coins and many other good things. This Jade Dragon also gave a lot of experience. Even if it was only one-tenth, it still gave 1,500 experience points. Blood Asura was still short of 2,500 experience points to level up. Even if she killed the Jade Dragon, she would not be able to level up. If it was given to the Alchemist or Dark Concubine, it would be enough for them to advance to Level 3. Unfortunately, this experience capsule could not be used separately. However, he quickly made a plan. He would let Blood Asura use it first. After all, it was the wisest choice to upgrade a pet to the advanced level as soon as possible. The Alchemist and Dark Concubine had already returned to the pet space. At this moment, Ye Chen had already sensed the location of Blood Asura. In a restaurant not far ahead. Ye Chen knocked on the door and said, ¡°Open the door. It¡¯s me.¡± Squeak! The door opened. ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re here. Where did you go just now?¡± Zhu Qiang asked curiously and worriedly. Ye Chen said, ¡°Tian Xuhao chased after me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and dodged his pursuit.¡± Zhu Qiang clearly heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Lin Nuoyi, Tie Niu, and the others were all standing inside, but Tang Qiu was nowhere to be seen. Ye Chen asked curiously, ¡°Where¡¯s Tang Qiu?¡± Lin Nuoyi hurriedly said, ¡°Sister Tang Qiu has left. She said that she wants to report this matter to the local law enforcement team.¡± Ye Chen nodded slightly, feeling that this was good. With the strength of the law enforcement team, they would definitely be able to find out about the Green Alliance. At that time, there would be the law enforcement team to hold back the people from the Green Alliance. They could take this opportunity to develop. After learning the situation, Ye Chen immediately made arrangements and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s leave this place quickly. This Qing County is a troublesome place.¡± Chapter 37 - This Monster Can Turn Invisible Chapter 37 This Monster Can Turn Invisible Everyone was slightly stunned, but under Ye Chen¡¯s urging, they did not say anything and quickly left. The map showed a mountain range to the east. It was also a relatively famous mountain. The four of them ran without stopping and finally arrived two hours later. At the foot of the mountain, the four of them sat in a pavilion to rest. The sky gradually began to darken. In the west, the city of Qing County was still brightly lit. He knew that the people from the Green Alliance were proceeding with their plan of ¡®raising pigs¡¯. Ye Chen could not help but worry. Many forces were probably preparing for this. He hurriedly opened the Monster Chat Group to see if there was any useful information. There were many people discussing inside, and some were forming teams. The chat room was filled with people from the Seventh Region, and there were also many people looking for someone to trade for the fragments. At this moment, an announcement appeared on the screen: In three days, Level 10-15 monsters will descend. Monsters above Level 10 already have basic intelligence. Please be careful. After reading the announcement, the chat room was filled with curses. Lin Nuoyi also discovered this message and was a little worried. She said, ¡°Ye Chen, what should we do?¡± Ye Chen was not surprised at all. ¡°This is very normal. In the future, the monsters will become stronger and stronger. We should hurry up and increase our strength!¡± The three of them nodded, their thoughts different. Ye Chen thought for a moment and felt a little anxious. After all, he had three pets. If he upgraded all of them, he would need a lot of experience. He said, ¡°Let¡¯s not rest. If you¡¯re tired, take the Blood Qi Pill. Now that we¡¯re going up the mountain, there must be monsters on the mountain!¡± The three of them nodded in agreement. After all, gold coins were meant to increase one¡¯s strength. It was not a waste to buy Blood Qi Pills to farm monsters and level up. After a simple rest, Ye Chen led the three of them up the mountain. There was a wildlife reserve on Green Mountain with many wild animals. As long as there were living creatures, there would definitely be monsters. At this moment, the night was completely dark. The four of them walked on the path up the mountain, the lush leaves blocking the moonlight. It was dark all around. Now, they couldn¡¯t even see their fingers even if they stretched their hands out before their eyes. Fortunately, Ye Chen had the System Shop. There was nothing that Ye Chen could not find. Ye Chen tried to search for a flashlight inside. There was really one, and it could even float around Ye Chen. With the help of the flashlight, his vision widened. Unknowingly, they had already arrived at the mountainside. The leaves rustled in the breeze. From time to time, the cries of crows could be heard above their heads, sounding a little dejected. Zhu Qiang was very timid and grabbed Tie Niu¡¯s arm tightly. ¡°Brother Chen, are there really monsters here?¡± Ye Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks and did not move. Zhu Qiang looked at Ye Chen, who was suddenly in a daze, and could not help but pat Ye Chen¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Brother Chen? What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t scare me!¡± Ye Chen still did not move. ¡°Oh my god, is Brother Chen possessed?¡± Ye Chen suddenly turned around and pushed Zhu Qiang and Tie Niu away. Then, he instantly took out the Thunderbolt Saber and smashed it forward. Lin Nuoyi and the others stood rooted to the ground, completely unaware of what was going on. In their eyes, Ye Chen¡¯s attack just now was clearly slashing through the air. The next second. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. Blood actually appeared out of thin air on the blade of the Thunderbolt Saber. ¡°Damn, what¡¯s going on? Why is this Thunderbolt Saber bleeding?¡± Zhu Qiang shouted, and Ye Chen immediately said nervously, ¡°Everyone, be vigilant. We¡¯ve encountered a monster. It¡¯s at least a Level 9 monster!¡± Just as he finished speaking, the air in front of him suddenly distorted, and the name of the monster appeared. [Transparent Cat Demon) Level: Level 9 Attributes: Dark Skill: Package Combat Strength: 2,300 Health: 4,200 Note: The Transparent Cat Demon¡¯s body is transparent and extremely difficult to deal with. If you don¡¯t have any control skills, it¡¯s recommended to escape quickly. ¡°Transparent? Doesn¡¯t that mean invisible?¡± ¡°How can we fight if we can¡¯t see!¡± The three of them instantly panicked. Ye Chen said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t panic. I just slashed it. Protect yourselves.¡± Ye Chen¡¯s level was not low, and his senses had become extremely sharp. When the four of them walked together, there were four footsteps. However, Ye Chen had just heard the footsteps of five people. At that time, Ye Chen sensed that there was definitely something following behind them. This was the benefit of increasing their strength. Otherwise, they might very well die here. Whoosh! Exhaling softly, Ye Chen said, ¡°Blood Asura, you should be able to sense the smell of blood on it!¡± Blood Asura nodded and immediately activated her talent, Bloodthirsty. Bloodthirsty had a passive skill, which was that Blood Asura was extremely sensitive to blood. Blood Asura sniffed and rushed in a direction. She stopped in front of a big tree and waved her scythe. Blood splashed out. Blood Asura had managed to slash it! -750! In the eyes of Zhu Qiang and the others, Blood Asura was fighting the air. However, her sense of smell was still inferior to her vision. When Blood Asura smelled the location of the Transparent Cat Demon and attacked, the Transparent Cat Demon had already dodged. Therefore, most of the Blood Asura¡¯s attacks did not hit the Transparent Cat Demon. The Transparent Cat Demon was very agile. When it dodged an attack, it would attack Blood Asura. During the battle, Blood Asura had also been injured several times. ¡°Hmph!¡± Blood Asura was already a little unhappy with this Transparent Cat Demon¡¯s teasing. Ah! Blood Asura shouted and held the Reaper¡¯s Scythe tightly in both hands. Then, she spun around, planning to launch a large-scale attack. However, after a minute, Blood Asura still did not injure the Transparent Cat Demon at all. Everyone could not help but feel a little despair. They were now in a situation where one side was stronger than the other. If this continued, Sooner or later, Blood Asura would be exhausted. This kind of enemy was in the dark while they were fighting in the light. It was considered difficult to fight. Ye Chen knew that if this continued, it would definitely not work. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, Lin Nuoyi suddenly handed something to Ye Chen. When Ye Chen saw what it was, he was overjoyed. This was the ponytail silk with the ability to restrain! Ye Chen held the ponytail silk in his hand and quietly walked towards Blood Asura. At this moment, Blood Asura was still relying on its blood perception to attack the Transparent Cat Demon. Unfortunately, Blood Asura did not cause any harm to the Transparent Cat Demon. Other than the fact that she had slashed the Transparent Cat Demon the first time when it was not paying attention. Ye Chen quietly came to Blood Asura¡¯s side, flashed the ponytail silk in his hand, and nodded at Blood Asura. Blood Asura immediately understood and closed her eyes to sense the location of the Transparent Cat Demon. Shua! She slowly opened her eyes and looked in a direction. Without any hesitation, Ye Chen threw the ponytail silk in his hand over. This Transparent Cat Demon was still relatively confident. When Blood Asura looked at it, it did not dodge at all. Chi! Pop! There was a sound. When the ponytail silk touched the Transparent Cat Demon, it suddenly exploded and firmly restrained it. Chapter 38 - The Cave With the Song Chapter 38 The Cave With the Song The ponytail silk was in the shape of a silk net and wrapped around the Transparent Cat Demon tightly. From time to time, blood flowed out of the net. Blood Asura took the opportunity to jump up and slash with the Reaper¡¯s Scythe. Shua! -700! Ye Chen shouted, ¡°The binding time of the ponytail silk is very short. Everyone, attack together.¡± Everyone reacted and quickly moved. Pig Dragon snorted twice. It rushed towards the Transparent Cat Demon. The Vajra Ape¡¯s actions exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. The Vajra Ape stepped forward and grabbed the net, holding the transparent cat demon tightly in its arms. The Blood Asura was overjoyed. She chuckled and rushed forward again. Whoosh! Whoosh! The Reaper¡¯s Scythe tore through the air, and two wind-piercing sounds immediately sounded. -1,000! -800! Blood Asura did not stop there and kept attacking the Transparent Cat Demon. Fortunately, the Vajra Ape had activated Berserk and its strength had increased several times. Otherwise, with the Vajra Ape¡¯s Level 3 strength, it would not have been able to control the Level 9 Transparent Cat Demon at all. Although it was only 30 seconds, it was enough. The Transparent Cat Demon was completely killed. [Blood Asura] Level: Level 4 Stage: Infant stage Technique: Critical Hit Attributes: Dark Grade: Sage (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Combat Strength: 1,900 Health: 31,000 Experience: 2,100/3,000 Coupled with the 1,500 experience points he had obtained from Tian Xuhao, Blood Asura was still 900 experience points away from reaching Level 5. Although the Transparent Cat Demon was a Level 9 monster, its strength was inferior to the Blood Jade Spider. It did not cause any substantial damage at all. Once it was restrained, it would become a live target. Fortunately, there was something like the ponytail silk. Otherwise, it would really be troublesome. [Transparent Pill: Consumable. One can become invisible for a minute. It¡¯s suitable for pets and warriors.] [Sky Splitting Spear Fragment x1: Collect 100 fragments and you can synthesize the original form of the Sky Splitting Spear.] [Hell Mystic Realm Key Fragment x1: Collect 18 fragments to combine into one key to open a mini Hell Trial Mystic Realm.] [Minor Blood Pill x1: Recover Qi and blood. It can be used by pets and warriors.] [Power Pill: After consuming it, your strength will increase by three times.] Looking at the loot on the ground, everyone could not help but be overjoyed. As expected of a Level 9 monster, the things it dropped were all different. According to the old rules, the fragments belonged to Ye Chen, the Strength Pill was given to Tie Niu, the Transparent Pill was given to Lin Nuoyi, and the core was given to Zhu Qiang. The division of the spoils mainly depended on who it was suitable for. Things like the Strength Pill were clearly more suitable for Tie Niu¡¯s Vajra Ape. Everyone did not stay for long and continued walking up the mountain. ¡°Brother Chen, there!¡± Zhu Qiang suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted. Everyone looked over and saw a cave on the left. From time to time, singing could be heard. Everyone was stunned. Lin Nuoyi frowned and asked curiously, ¡°Could there be someone in this cave?¡± Ye Chen also heard a human voice, but singing in a cave in the middle of the night was a little unbelievable. He was silent for a moment before lowering his voice and saying, ¡°Go over and take a look. Be careful.¡± ¡°En.¡± The few of them nodded and followed behind Ye Chen carefully. The path to the cave was not easy to walk on. Some places were even more rugged. The Vajra Ape stretched out the Eight Bones Soul Locking Spear and used the steel blades to clear the path in front of them. Ten minutes later. The four of them stood in front of the cave and looked in. It was dark inside and they could not see anything. Ye Chen could only push the flashlight inside. The floating flashlight slowly moved forward, illuminating the path inside. The cave was not straight. The light from the flashlight was instantly blocked by the wall in front of them, and they still could not see what was inside. Lin Nuoyi whispered, ¡°Ye Chen, do you want to go in and take a look?¡± Ye Chen thought for a moment and finally nodded. He led the way and slowly walked in. Blood Asura floated in the air, a little closer to the front than Ye Chen. From time to time, she would spin the scythe in its hand. She was not afraid at all. Instead, she was a little excited. As long as she could kill monsters, she was very proactive. The cave was dark and damp. From time to time, water dripped to the ground, making a dripping sound. When everyone arrived at the corner of the wall, the light probed in. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Squeak! A swarm of bats was disturbed and slowly flew above the four of them. Blood Asura floated in the air. She picked up the Reaper¡¯s Scythe and waved it at the bats flying over. In a short while, dozens of bats were slashed to death by Blood Asura and fell to the ground. The corpses of these bats did not disappear. Ye Chen said, ¡°These are not monsters. They¡¯re just normal bats.¡± Lin Nuoyi echoed, ¡°Could the singing be coming from these bats?¡± Ye Chen shook his head and said, ¡°No, bats don¡¯t make that kind of sound, but they shouldn¡¯t be monsters. If they were monsters, they wouldn¡¯t let these bats go.¡± The few of them nodded in understanding. Ye Chen looked ahead and continued walking without hesitation. This cave was filled with twists and turns. After two turns, light suddenly appeared in front of them. It was a bonfire. There were more than ten people sitting around the bonfire, including ten old people and three young people. The highest level of their pets was only Level 2, and it was only a Grade 3 Rare pet. There were some roasted animals on the bonfire, and more than ten people were sitting there and talking. Shua! Suddenly, something ran out of the pile of rocks at the side and stood in front of them. [Horse Hound] Level: Level 2 Attributes: Wind Level: Elite (Grade 2) Skill: Patrol Combat Strength: 400 Health: 9,000 Ye Chen could not help but smile bitterly. ¡°Looks like we¡¯ve been discovered.¡± Lin Nuoyi also nodded and said, ¡°This pet is very agile and suitable for reconnaissance.¡± Since he had been discovered, Ye Chen did not hide anymore and strode forward. When the people inside received the information from the Horse Hound, they stood up. The old men picked up the shotguns and carried them on their backs. The three young people controlled their pets and waited solemnly. As Ye Chen appeared, Zhu Qiang, Lin Nuoyi, and the others also appeared in front of them. Hiss! ¡°Four people! Three Level 3 and one Level 4. The lowest is a Grade 4 Legendary.¡± The Horse Hound¡¯s owner revealed shock from the corner of his eye, and the other two¡¯s expressions immediately turned to despair. ¡°When is Sister Nian coming back? If she doesn¡¯t come back, we¡¯ll all be finished!¡± Yu Zhen was a little anxious. His heart pounded as he looked at their hostile eyes. Ye Chen smiled and said, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be afraid. You don¡¯t have to be like this. We don¡¯t have any ill intentions.¡± An old man suddenly appeared and said, ¡°We¡¯re natives from the foot of the mountain. My name is Yu Changhua, and I¡¯m the village chief of the Yu Family Village. How should I address you?¡± Ye Chen cupped his hands and introduced himself. ¡°Ye Chen!¡± ¡°Zhu Qiang!¡± ¡°Lin Nuoyi!¡± ¡°Tie Niu!¡± Ye Chen smiled. ¡°We¡¯re here to hunt monsters. We don¡¯t have any ill intentions towards you. We just heard singing in this cave, so we came in to see what was going on.¡± Chapter 39 - Pet, Flower Fairy Chapter 39 Pet, Flower Fairy Yu Changhua looked at the few of them and sized them up. Then, he smiled and said, ¡°Oh, I see. Why don¡¯t you come over and have a seat? We can sit down and talk.¡± Ye Chen nodded and came to the bonfire. After a conversation, Ye Chen understood what was going on. The Yu Family Village was located in a remote area. They had been hunting and raising fish at the foot of the mountain. Although it was called a village, there were actually only more than ten families. Because the monsters suddenly descended and a portion of the villagers died, they had no choice but to hide in the cave and temporarily make a living here. Ye Chen asked curiously, ¡°What was with that singing just now? It¡¯s very easy to attract monsters if you sing at night.¡± Yu Changhua shook his head bitterly and explained, ¡°That song is actually our communication tool. We have a girl here who went to take something and hasn¡¯t returned after so long. We were a little worried, so we called out to her with the song, but we didn¡¯t receive a response. We didn¡¯t expect to attract you here.¡± Only then did Ye Chen understand what was going on. At the same time, he felt a little helpless. The law-enforcement team had communication tools, but ordinary people did not. They actually used singing to communicate. This was clearly playing with their lives. Yu Zhen said worriedly, ¡°Village Chief, Sister Yu Nian has been out for two hours and hasn¡¯t returned yet. Did she encounter any danger?¡± The village chief was troubled and helpless. ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. Sigh!¡± Woo hoho! Suddenly, another song sounded. Yu Zhen, Yu Changhua, and the others¡¯ expressions changed drastically. ¡°Oh no, something happened!¡± Ye Chen looked at the shocked crowd and hurriedly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yu Zhen paced back and forth, filled with worry. He kept pulling at his hair, looking very anxious. ¡°Sister Yu Nian said that she encountered a Level 10 monster and asked us to hide.¡± ¡°Level 10!¡± Lin Nuoyi and the others were also shocked, but Ye Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. He hurriedly asked, ¡°Where is it?¡± ¡°At the foot of the mountain, where our village is.¡± Ye Chen¡¯s mind instantly became active. ¡°We¡¯ve never encountered a Level 10 monster before. We¡¯ll definitely obtain a lot of good things after hunting it!¡± a mon After thinking for a moment, he said to the others, ¡°Let¡¯s go down the mountain and take a look.¡± ¡°Big Brother, can you bring me along? I¡¯m worried!¡± Yu Zhen ran up and applied to join the team. Ye Chen patted Yu Zhen¡¯s shoulder and shook his head. ¡°You¡¯re too weak. If you follow, you¡¯ll only be a burden. You should stay and protect the people here!¡± Yu Zhen also knew that his strength was too weak, so he could only nod in agreement. Ye Chen and the others walked out of the cave and quickly ran down the mountain. ¡°Howl!¡± A roar sounded not far away. ¡°There!¡± Zhu Qiang pointed at a place. Flames soared into the sky. It was very obvious. Ye Chen and the others quickly ran towards the fire. (Flame Sovereign] Level: Level 10 Skill: Flaming Meteor Attributes: Fire Combat Strength: 2,600 Health: 6,000 Note: The Flame Sovereign can fire hundreds of fire attacks from the fire cylinder on its back. If hit, it will cause a burning effect and the target will continue to lose health. A thin woman in casual clothes was controlling her pet to fight with the Flame Sovereign. This woman should be the Yu Nian that Yu Changhua mentioned. Her courage was commendable. (Flower Fairy] Level: Level 3 Attributes: Wood Skill: Flower Blossom Level: Supreme (Grade 6) Talent: Nirvana (Awakened) Combat Strength: 1,200 Health: 24,000 The Flower Fairy looked like a human, with a humanoid body, but her appearance was still that of a plant. She was 1.3 meters tall, and her limbs were green. Her head was shaped like an extremely beautiful red rose. It looked extremely beautiful. One part of the Flower Fairy¡¯s body was burning with flames, and her health was constantly decreasing. She had the wood attribute and was naturally restrained by the fire attribute. Before long, she only had about 8,000 HP left. On the other hand, the Flame Sovereign had only lost 800 HP. It was very difficult to kill. Yu Nian was already kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily. Clearly, she could not hold on anymore and could be killed at any time. ¡°Quick, save her!¡± Ye Chen shouted. Blood Asura was the first to rush forward. Her blood wings flickered and red light flickered. She waved her scythe and slashed at the Flame Sovereign. -600! The Flame Sovereign was attacked. The huge hand that was about to slap the Flower Fairy turned and slapped towards Blood Asura. Its body was extremely huge. It looked like a turtle with a volcano-like mouth on the back. Its entire body was red. When Yu Nian saw the sudden appearance of Blood Asura, she was shocked and hurriedly turned around. Ye Chen was looking at her with a smile. He took out a Blood Qi Pill and threw it over. He said in a low voice, ¡°Rest first. Leave this monster to us.¡± Yu Nian took the Blood Qi Pill and hurriedly thanked him, feeling a little relieved. However, Yu Nian did not consume it herself. Instead, she fed it to the heavily injured Flower Fairy. Zhu Qiang, Lin Nuo, and Tie Niu hurriedly controlled their pets to fight. The Pig Dragon was still the first to rush up. It charged forward and ruthlessly collided with the Flame Sovereign. -500! The Eight Bone Soul Locking Spear on the Vajra Ape¡¯s back also instantly unfolded. It jumped up and arrived behind the Flame Sovereign, constantly slashing. -200! -200! Because the Mersnake had obtained a divine artifact like the poison sac, it no longer had to store venom. It directly spat out three balls of venom at the Flame Sovereign. -150! -150! -150! -200! -200! The Mersnake¡¯s three balls of venom were ferocious, causing the Flame Sovereign to lose 900 HP. However, after the venom of the poison sac was used up, the Mersnake directly lost its combat strength. Blood Asura was still holding back the Flame Sovereign. Keke! Blood Asura was like a girl who advocated violence. Her body glowed red. She also activated the Critical Hit skill. The Reaper¡¯s Scythe¡¯s silent eyes also opened at this moment. The ethereal red light was like the path to the netherworld, harvesting every living life. Blood Asura¡¯s figure flickered as she slashed at the Flame Sovereign¡¯s back. However, the Flame Sovereign had a firm and hard armor on its back. Under the enhancement of the critical strike skill, Blood Asura¡¯s two critical strikes only caused a total of 900 damage to the Flame Sovereign. At this moment, Pig Dragon had already used the Piggy Sudden Charge three times in a row and was lying weakly on the ground. The Vajra Ape was still using the Eight Bone Soul Locking Spear to attack the Flame Sovereign. Facing the harassment of the Vajra Ape and the Pig Dragon, the Flame Sovereign was a little angry. However, Blood Asura had been harassing it at the side, so the Flame Sovereign had no time to attack the Vajra Ape and the others. The Flame Sovereign roared helplessly, and then its huge body slowly trembled. The huge turtle shell slowly landed and completely retracted its limbs, leaving only its head exposed. However, the Flame Sovereign¡¯s huge head was burning with flames, making it impossible for Blood Asura to attack it at all. Ye Chen was a little helpless. His team was almost always in close combat and did not have long-range attacks. The only long-range attacker, the Mersnake, was still very weak. Just as Ye Chen was feeling a headache, Yu Nian suddenly ran over. ¡°Let me help!¡± The Flower Fairy¡¯s injuries had completely recovered and she quickly arrived not far from the Flame Sovereign. She placed her hands in front of her and her mouth moved slightly. She seemed to be muttering something. Ha! The Flower Fairy suddenly shouted. A bang sounded from the Flame Sovereign¡¯s body. Seed-shaped things grew on the Flame Sovereign¡¯s body before exploding. Vines grew on the Flame Sovereign¡¯s body. It instantly wrapped around the Flame Sovereign like a huge net. Chapter 40 - Killing a Level 10 Monster and Obtaining a Special Chapter 40 Killing a Level 10 Monster and Obtaining a Special Reward Green light flashed on the Flower Fairy¡¯s body, and the vines on her body instantly bloomed. Her slender little hand pointed at the Flame Sovereign. The vine net that wrapped around the Flame Sovereign¡¯s body began to shrink. The huge binding force made the Flame Sovereign¡¯s limbs extend out again. This should be the Flower Fairy¡¯s skill. Flowers Blossom. Yu Nian shouted, ¡°Quick, Flower Fairy¡¯s skill can only last for 30 seconds.¡± Ye Chen looked at Yu Nian¡¯s Flower Fairy and could not help but be overjoyed. This Flower Fairy was actually a control-type. He could not help but look at Yu Nian with a burning gaze. However, he knew what the most important thing was now. ¡°Blood Asura, go!¡± Everyone quickly took action at this moment. He also took out his Thunderbolt Saber and personally rushed over. ¡°Nine Fold Thunder Blade, first fold, Major Destruction!¡± Sizzle! The blade body of the Thunderbolt Saber shone with lightning. Ye Chen raised the Thunderbolt Saber and jumped up, smashing it heavily at the Flame Sovereign. As a Level 10 monster, the Flame Sovereign naturally would not sit back and wait for death. Pu! Pu! Pu! The volcano-like fire cylinder on the Flame Sovereign¡¯s body spat out three balls of flames. The flames exploded in the air and turned into thousands of sparks that fell. The range was so wide that it was impossible to dodge. Everyone looked at the flames that covered the sky and was immediately stunned on the spot. ¡°That¡¯s the only way!¡± Ye Chen thought to himself and hurriedly bought consumables from the System Shop. Water Barrier. The water barrier could block an attack, and was especially effective against fire-attribute attacks. However, this water barrier was not cheap. It cost 50 points. A small water ball emitting blue light instantly appeared in Ye Chen¡¯s hand and he threw it high up. Immediately! Blue light flashed. A blue water barrier enveloped everyone. The flames that landed on the water barrier were instantly extinguished. Ye Chen could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were all blocked. At this moment, the Flame Sovereign still wanted to launch a second attack. The Vajra Ape instantly activated Berserk and cut off one of the Flame Sovereign¡¯s huge legs. Then, it hugged the huge leg and came to the back of the Flame Sovereign, stuffing his leg tightly into the flame cylinder. At this moment, Ye Chen¡¯s Thunderbolt Saber landed. -1,100! Blood Asura¡¯s Reaper Scythe spun. Slash! Cut! -700! -800! The Pig Dragon held its breath and suddenly attacked. -800! The Mersnake had also recovered some strength and spat out three balls of venom. -200! -200! -300! At this moment, the Flame Sovereign had already entered a critical state. Everyone stopped moving in unison. This last attack was naturally handed over to Blood Ashura. Blood Ashura chuckled and bit her lower lip. Then, she waved her scythe. Pfft! The Flame Sovereign roared weakly and fell to the ground, motionless. The system¡¯s voice sounded. [Congratulations on killing a Level 10 monster for the first time. Special reward activated.

Then, the loot appeared on the ground. The few of them surrounded it and sized up the things on the ground. [Fire Cylinder: Refined from the Flame Sovereign¡¯s Fire Cylinder. It can spit out ten balls of flames in a row. Cooldown: 600s] [Turtle Shell: Ordinary defensive armor. It¡¯s suitable for warriors and pets.

As expected of a Level 10 monster.¡± At this moment, Yu Nian also walked over and said to Ye Chen gratefully, ¡°My name is Yu Nian. Thank you for your help.¡± Ye Chen hurriedly smiled and said, ¡°No need to thank me. It was nothing.¡± He looked at the loot, took out the Solitary Blaze Bead, and handed it to Yu Nian. ¡°Here, it¡¯s yours.¡± Yu Nian hurriedly waved her hand and said, ¡°No need, no need. You saved my life, but I don¡¯t know how to repay you. I can¡¯t take this.¡± Ye Chen smiled and said, ¡°Take it. If not for your Flower Fairy controlling it, we would have to spend more effort.¡± Zhu Qiang also smiled and said, ¡°Miss Yu, take it! Our Brother Chen is very generous and particular!¡± Yu Nian did not say anything and fell silent, not knowing what to do. Ye Chen then stuffed the Solitary Blaze Bead into Yu Nian¡¯s hand. The remaining loot had already been distributed to the few of them. They each took what they needed. Whoosh! After distributing the loot, the few of them sat on the spot to rest and slowly chatted, gaining a simple understanding of each other. Yu Nian asked curiously, ¡°Captain Ye Chen, why are you here?¡± Ye Chen smiled and said, ¡°I offended someone at my original place and came to Qing County and also ended up offending the Green Alliance, so I ran here. I¡¯ll hide for the time being. I¡¯ll go back and kill them sooner or later.¡± If he was alone, he could think of all ways to play them to death. Now that he was leading a team, he could only choose to avoid them for the time being. Yu Nian frowned and sighed. ¡°Green Alliance? No wonder. This organization has killed countless people. If not for them, we wouldn¡¯t have to hide in the mountains. All the villagers with pets around us have been captured by them. If not for the fact that I have the Flower Fairy, we might not have escaped.¡± Ye Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He did not expect the Green Alliance to extend their reach so far. He looked at Yu Nian and saw her face clearly. Her skin was fair. Perhaps it was because she had grown up under the mountain, but Yu Nian looked extremely pure, like a sister next door. Just as they were chatting, an explosion suddenly sounded from the mountain. Everyone looked up and saw flames burning somewhere. Yu Nian hurriedly stood up, her beautiful eyes filled with fear. ¡°Not good, that¡¯s the cave where the village chief and the others are. There must be people from the Green Alliance nearby!¡± She hurriedly stood up and ran up the mountain with the Flower Fairy. Seeing this, Ye Chen also called Lin Nuoyi and the others to follow. After running for half an hour, everyone arrived at the cave. It was already empty. At this moment, the cave was in a mess. The flames had burned the mountain rocks black, and the smell of flames was still lingering in the air. Dozens of charred corpses lay on the ground. It was the village chief and the others. Yu Zhen, Yu Guang, and their pets were lying on the ground, dead. Yu Nian looked at the corpses on the ground, her eyes filled with disbelief. Bean-sized tears. slid down her face. She stood rooted to the ground, staring blankly at the scene before her. She could not believe that all of this was real.
