Xiao Fan voiced his speculation: "I guess it might be because they have no food down there, so they can only survive by devouring each other."

The others nodded in agreement with Xiao Fan's hypothesis.

"Alright! Let's go, time is of the essence, let's set off!"

The three nodded and walked into the cave.

As soon as they arrived below, they felt a chill.

It took three minutes just to descend from that small opening, which shows how deep the cave is.

The descent was in utter darkness, but upon reaching the bottom, it was brightly lit.

Inside, the cave looked like a vast blue sky, with every plant and tree vividly visible.

Blue corals, fire-red corals, and some crabs and other creatures lived below.

Sensing the arrival of Ye Chen and his companions, these small creatures immediately hid away.

"Inside!" Chong Gong pointed inward.

Following the cave path for about ten minutes, they saw a new scene.

Inside could be said to be a completely different world from the outside, where it was peaceful like the Island Kingdom.

But here, it's an abyss.

The entire space was vast, dimly lit by an eerie light, inhabited by bizarre-looking monsters.

They had grotesque appearances, with buck teeth, overbites, and one-eyed faces everywhere.

"Woo woo! Prey has arrived, it's mine, it's mine!"

An octopus-like monster hurled itself toward Ye Chen and his group.

It was an LV48 monster, and with just two strikes, it was slain.

"How about it, Brother Ye Chen, I wasn't wrong, there really are a lot of monsters here, and their levels aren't that high."

Looking around, there were approximately eight to nine thousand monsters, each around LV55.

"Hehe, this time we're hitting it big, brothers, let's kill!"

An LV55 monster provides about 50,000 experience points.

Compared to that experience treasury Ye Chen encountered last time, it's not much different.

The only difference is that the monsters here fight back.

If you can't protect yourself, getting swarmed and killed by these monsters is not impossible.

Xiao Fan said excitedly, "As long as I can hunt 1,800 monsters, I can reach LV70 max experience. By then, gathering materials for becoming a Breakthrough won't be far off."

Chong Gong and Ice Seal were also excited; they are currently at LV67, just 16 million experience away from LV70.

"Let's go!"

Ye Chen summoned Blood Asura, Dark Princess, Pill Master, and Genggeng at the same time.

This time, you can't act recklessly like before.

"Pill Master, Dark Princess, Blood Asura, when you're hunting monsters, don't stray too far from those three pets, always keep them protected."

"Understood!"

Seeing Blood Asura and the others, Xiao Fan and his team were immediately stunned, saying, "Brother Ye Chen, you, you have three Breakthroughs, and they're all Creation Tier, that's insane."

The group was dumbfounded, speaking in disbelief.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's just good luck, I'll have my pets protect yours."

"Thank you!"

"You're a class act, Brother Ye Chen!"

They were smart enough to understand that dealing with so many monsters is very dangerous; a few are manageable, but a horde can bite you to death.

Unless they had extremely strong defense equipment or very high attack power, they can't just mow down opponents.

"Genggeng, stay close to them and protect them."

Genggeng nodded and acknowledged.

"Charge!"

With a command, Blood Asura and the others charged into the monster group, and Xiao Fan and his team's pets rushed in.

Ye Chen wielded the Thunder Shocking Blade, starting a massacre.

The voices continued to resonate, filling Ye Chen with joy.

This time it was really a boon, the system was generous for once!

This monster hunt not only yielded experience but also materials.

As expected, these monsters are regular monsters, not something special, so why wouldn't they give them something, right?

If they didn't, Ye Chen would have definitely started to complain.

In a short amount of time, nearly two hundred monsters were hunted down.

All materials reached one hundred as well.

Ye Chen found a spot to stop and wanted to synthesize the equipment.

But when he tried to synthesize, he found it impossible.

[Synthesis available in 6 hours]

"Damn!" Ye Chen couldn't help but curse.

"Are you messing with me? I was just complimenting how generous you were, and now I can't even synthesize! Can't praise it!"

Ye Chen was left speechless.

"Watch out!"

Jade Sword Immortal's voice suddenly rang out, Dark Princess halted and glanced to the side.

Three LV59 monsters lunged toward Dark Princess simultaneously.

"Phantom Sword Dance!"

Jade Sword Immortal's figure flickered behind Dark Princess, slashing wildly at the three monsters.

Dark Princess nodded and thanked them.

Xiao Fan and the others watched the battles of Pill Master, Dark Princess, and Blood Asura, already dumbstruck.

Chong Gong said blankly, "Fan Bro, this Brother Ye Chen is way too abnormal, even if these monsters are at least around LV55, how can Brother Ye Chen cut through them like it's nothing?"

Ice Seal was staring wide-eyed in confusion.
