"It seems this entire monster world revolves around monsters as its core, and any other powerful invaders are treated as terrorists..."
Bai Ze picked up a cigarette from somewhere, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
"Little Diamond Wind, let's start the slaughter tomorrow. It would be best if we can get more items to drop and exchange them for money..."
"Yes, Great King!"
Thus, the group cuddled together and slept for the night. By the next morning, Bai Ze began planning the combat logistics with Little Diamond Wind.
"Little Diamond Wind, just go all out and do your thing. You don't need to worry too much about our side; if we run into danger, Great Sage will step in!"
"Sun Tai, your job is just to pick up gear. Gather every single dropped item and bring them all back to me!"
"What about the two of us?" two cute girls asked expectantly.
"The two of you will assist Little Diamond Wind, but your main task is still to take good care of this child. I'll have major use for her later."
"You got it."
After the planning was complete, the group set off once again, with Little Diamond Wind leading them to the entrance of the city.
The moment they appeared, some nearby exotic beasts couldn't hold back any longer, instantly transforming from human forms into monster forms!
However, these were all low-level exotic beasts with extremely limited combat power, and Little Diamond Wind could easily handle them...
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Gusts of howling wind swept through, and countless monsters roared within the tornadoes, their health bars gradually shaved away until they vanished into thin air, dropping pieces of equipment in their wake!
Like a stray dog on a battlefield, Sun Tai hurriedly scooped up the gear—Little Diamond Wind fought ahead, while he scavenged behind.
The battle lasted for about half an hour, resulting in the deaths of nearly a thousand monsters and yielding over 300 pieces of dropped equipment.
Among them were two Silver-grade items, with the rest varying between Bronze and Black Iron.
The only pity was that the experience points rewarded for killing monsters had decreased.
It had dropped from 200 experience points per monster previously down to 50, and if they kept killing, it would likely drop even lower.
Bai Ze waved his hand, signaling Little Diamond Wind to return for the moment.
The monsters in this area had been mostly cleared out, and the group began tallying up their gains.
Due to the massive number of monsters killed, everyone had leveled up by another rank, and now they were basically all level 12!
Bai Ze's own combat power had also increased to 270, giving him some self-defense capability at last.
As for the large batch of equipment—over 300 pieces in total—Bai Ze listed them all online, only to find they were completely sold out within just a few minutes...
He netted a grand total of 700,000 Dragon Coins!
"A single Awakening Stone costs at least 100 million, and a better one goes for 1 billion."
"At this rate, I'd have to kill at least 140,000 low-level monsters just to scrape together enough money for a single Awakening Stone..."
Bai Ze's current goal was to get his hands on an Awakening Stone so that every human in this world could awaken. That way, the children here would also have the capital to defend themselves.
At least once they left, the people wouldn't be entirely stripped of their power to resist.
Just as Bai Ze was thinking this, he suddenly sensed killing intent closing in from all four directions!
Simultaneously, a group of people in suits and ties walked out from the city in the distance.
They moved at lightning speed, crossing a hundred meters with practically a single stride, and instantly appeared right before the group!
"Destroying the city and slaughtering citizens—you terrorists are truly guilty of heinous crimes!"
One of the men in a black suit shouted sternly!
[Mid-level Exotic Beast "Enforcer"]
[Level 15]
[Comprehensive Combat Power: 7,888]
[Skills: Nine Heavens of Demonic Flames, Flame Transformation]
"Over 7,000 in combat power... getting close to Little Diamond Wind..."
Bai Ze hesitated slightly, but before he knew it, Little Diamond Wind charged straight ahead!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Little Diamond Wind's entire body rode the wind, countless gales blowing around him,
and he instantly knocked the black-suited man to the ground. However, even more mid-level monsters swarmed in from all sides at the same time!
These mid-level monsters possessed formidable strength, leaving even Little Diamond Wind locked in a stalemate where he couldn't finish them off directly.
Seeing this scene, Xia Qiu and Xia Chun, the two cute girls, began to panic.
In their eyes, that giant rat was immensely strong, and now even he was bogged down in a bitter struggle.
Doesn't that mean they were in danger, too?
"Great Sage, make your move!"
Bai Ze shouted.
The moment his voice fell, the bell on his collar vanished instantly. Great Sage stepped out wearing a black suit, standing tall and upright with matchless elegance!
Brother Monkey glanced sideways at the large mob of suit-wearing men wrestling with Little Diamond Wind, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
"What kind of tier are they, wearing the exact same suit as me?"
Brother Monkey's figure vanished on the spot, reappearing directly above the crowd the very next instant!
With his left hand, he plucked Little Diamond Wind up by the scruff and tossed him aside, while his right hand turned golden, instantly binding the entire group and transforming them into a massive, majestic golden palm that descended from the heavens!
"No!!"
A few of the quicker-reacting men in suits let out a startled cry, attempting to immediately transform into their exotic beast forms, but they found out it was far too late.
The golden palm crushed all of them directly into a pulp of flesh...
Great Sage's methods were crisp and decisive. After finishing this, he turned his head once more to look toward the top of the skyscraper.
His golden pupils radiated peerless divine intent...
He stared fixedly at the figure at the very pinnacle of the skyscraper, exclaiming in wonder:
"Interesting. The only high-level beast, and his combat power doesn't seem weak?"
Hearing this, Bai Ze hurriedly checked, instantly pulling up the stats panel of that high-level beast!
[High-level Exotic Beast "Unique" "Greed"]
[Level 20]
[Comprehensive Combat Power: ?????]
[Skills: Absolute Strength, Greedy Wolf's Grasp, Theft SSS]
A sharply tailored suit, a head of black curly hair, and gold-rimmed glasses...
Facing everyone's gazes, this high-level exotic beast showed no trace of cowardice, calmly looking down at them all the while.
It was as if he were the absolute ruler here, and no one could shake his position...
"Heh, looks like a tough nut to crack..."
Suddenly, Great Sage's figure lunged forward. Charging toward the roof of the skyscraper at breakneck speed, he grabbed the opponent by the neck!
"To be honest, you're trying a bit too hard to look cool, bro!"
Great Sage sneered, then flung him down with fierce momentum, hurling him straight from the top of the skyscraper and causing the entire earth to fracture!
"Ugh—"
The high-level exotic beast vomited blood, staggering to his feet as he glared at the group with venomous eyes...
"You... you guys..."
On the surface he looked immensely fierce, but in reality, his heart was already trembling...
With a combat power of over 40,000, he could be said to be undefeated across the entire world for anyone under level 20; not a single Professional was his match, save for that person from back then...
Yet what on earth was this situation now!?
From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to roar in rage, but the next second he discovered to his horror that his voice had been blocked—he opened his mouth, but no sound came out!
This unique high-level exotic beast pointed at Great Sage as if wanting to say something, but the next second he realized with sheer terror that his own bones were being peeled away from his body...
Concept and skill—the Thirty-Second Transformation: Disarticulation activated!
"No!!!"
He roared in frantic fury, blood spraying from every pore of his body! Miraculously, he actually managed to grab hold of his own skeleton and shove it back into his body,
and at the same time, he instantly transformed into his high-level exotic beast form, charging straight at Great Sage!
"You petty trickster, I'm going to tear you to pieces alive!"
Yet, Great Sage extended an open palm to block his attack, lifting him effortlessly with just a single arm...
A sensation known as despair flooded through the mind of the high-level exotic beast.
