CHAPTER 217: CHAPTER 217: MONSTERS ALSO HAVE RACES

Ye Chen and his group of five quickly made their way back to the safety zone, while Lin Nuoyi also posted a gathering message in the War Alliance Group.

Upon arriving at the safety zone, Huo Yu and a few others were standing inside the gate, seemingly waiting for Ye Chen’s return.

"Ye Chen, we all saw the message. It seems the real monster tide is about to descend!" Huo Yu said.

Ye Chen nodded, not panicking and remaining calm as he said, "That’s true. However, fortunately, before this, the safety zone was completely built. Everyone has been guarding within the safety zone these past few days. We will fend off the monster invasion into the safety zone first, observe the situation to see how the monster’s strength differs from before, and then make plans accordingly."

Huo Yu nodded, indicating his understanding.

People were gradually returning and gathering together.

After an hour of studying, the personnel were divided and stationed at various places within the safety zone.

With everything arranged, everyone finally dispersed.

After seven days of hunting, the low-level members of the Star Alliance had gradually leveled up. Although not very strong, they at least had the power to protect themselves.

Night.

Ten past nine.

Ye Chen lay on the bed, pondering over things, worried about what might happen, yet it still happened.

This time, a long time had passed since the last monster descent, indicating that the monsters descending this time would definitely be different.

Moreover, some LV30 monsters were among them, enough to demonstrate the terror of this monster descent.

The next day.

Ten past eleven in the morning.

Ye Chen and others stood atop the gate tower, waiting for twelve o’clock to arrive.

Everyone’s expressions were heavy, deeply laden with thoughts.

Finally, Yu Nian broke the silence first, "Actually, there’s nothing much to worry about; even the strongest monster has weaknesses and a health bar. As long as there’s a health bar, it’s not a problem."

Yu Nian’s slightly joking words eased the silent atmosphere considerably.

Zhu Qiang, still barrel-chested, said, "Exactly, even if it’s a god, as long as it has a health bar, it can still be killed!"

Actually, Ye Chen wasn’t overly anxious. After all, even LV20 lord-level monsters could be hunted; why fear these things?

Ye Chen laughed, "Indeed, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Once the monsters descend, let’s first hunt a few to boost morale!"

"Right! Kill one if they come alone, kill two if they come in pairs, what’s there to be scared of!"

"Hahaha! Exactly!"

At twelve o’clock, the sky suddenly darkened.

Like a darkened room at night, the entire world plunged into darkness. Nothing, not even the Exploring Lamp, could emit any light at this moment.

"Here they come!"

A minute later, the world brightened again!

"Ah! Damn, so many!" Golden Pupil exclaimed in astonishment.

In an instant, over fifty monsters appeared in the once calm area before them.

Fortunately, their levels weren’t high, mostly around LV21, with the highest at LV23.

Ye Chen, keeping his calm demeanor, coldly said, "Everyone, be cautious. Among every ten monsters, there’s an advanced one. Before us, there are about fifty monsters, meaning there are five advanced ones. Be careful!"

"Alright!"

Everyone summoned their pets, readying themselves.

Ye Chen casually inspected a few monsters.

[Nigel]

Level: LV21

Tier: Ordinary

Attribute: Water

Combat Power: 19000

Blood Volume: 210000

Race: Zombie

An utterly rotten monster lay on the ground, oozing foul liquid, looking extremely hideous.

Ye Chen finally understood what the information meant. The attribute upgrade was merely an increase in Combat Power and Blood Volume; the so-called race was its own attribute.

Not all monsters were hideous; many were quite beautiful.

[A Li]

Level: LV22

Tier: Ordinary

Attribute: Wood

Combat Power: 20000

Blood Volume: 188000

Race: Charming Demon

This A Li was extremely alluring and beautiful, wearing a strikingly revealing blue gown, her figure surpassing many top female stars, striking a captivating pose.

Especially those long, white legs, and the face that could move one’s heart at a glance, if human, she would be earthly perfection.

Seeing this, Ye Chen felt relieved. Monsters, like pets, also had rising attributes with their levels.

Earlier monsters seemed undermined as if cut by a knife, now these monsters’ attributes appeared normal.

"Awoo!"

The ugly monster emitted a low roar, sniffing hard with its nose, raised its head at Ye Chen’s group, and charged ahead directly.

Monsters like A Li, however, stood still, pondering something.

As Ye Chen matched gazes with A Li, she licked her lips at him, deliberately pulling down her collar to reveal a snowy rift, her eyes gleaming with greed.

She wasn’t interested in Ye Chen; she wanted to eat him.

It seems the zombie-type race belonged to low-intellect beasts.

A Li’s intelligence was notably higher than Nigel’s.

But A Li, though a level higher than Nigel, had twenty thousand less blood volume, indicating that an advantage in one area meant a disadvantage in another.

In this light, it remained reasonably fair.

Lin Nuoyi’s voice came hurriedly, "Zhang Yuzhen just sent word that monsters appeared there too, attacking the walls."

Ye Chen nodded, fiercely commanding, "Commence attack!"

With the command, everyone summoned their pets and charged into the monster horde.

Blood Asura, brandishing the Blood God Scythe, charged ahead first.

Elsewhere, there weren’t many monsters, manageable for Zhang Yuzhen and other Star Alliance members.

Blood Asura rushed into the monster crowd, unleashing a massacre.

Though a level or two higher than Blood Asura, they were evidently no match for it.

In just four or five slashes, Blood Asura dealt with an LV22 monster.

[Congratulations on gaining 440 Points]

Blood Asura successfully gained 2000 Experience Value.

Ye Chen felt a sense of joy. Killing an LV22 monster granted 2000 Experience Value, indicating that for monsters above LV20, each higher level granted an additional 1000 Experience Value.

[Medium Life Potion*1: Restores 5000 Blood Volume once, usable by both pets and warriors]

[Heaven-Sundering Spear Fragment*1: Collect 100 fragments to form the Heaven-Sundering Spear Embryo]

[Hell Secret Realm Key Fragment*1: Collect 18 fragments to form one key, opening a medium-sized Hell Trial Secret Realm]

[Medium Qi Blood Pill*1: Replenishes Qi and Blood, usable by both pets and warriors]

[Demon God Armor Fragment*1: Collect 108 fragments to form Demon God Armor, note: Demon God Set includes five pieces: Helmet, Armor, Armor, Knee Guards, Boots]

A slight smile appeared on Ye Chen’s face. Although there were many monsters, the drops remained consistent.

It seemed the Heaven-Sundering Spear and Demon God Armor would soon be complete.

Ye Chen gazed at the top two items in the item slot, glowing with red light, with a hint of resignation.

This system was so stingy, only opening up the item slot for new items after these two were fully collected.
