Chapter 566: [ Monster Tide ]

Not even pausing for a single breath, Celty rushed forward, trampling over the corpses as she rushed forth.

From afar, she resembled a tiny speedboat rushing across an expanse of calm water, with broken limbs and severed heads splitting off on both sides of her.

Behind her, there were four more young killing gods, filled with excitement all over their faces and a thirst to kill in their eyes!

All of them lifted up their weapons and claws in unison and brought them down simultaneously, causing blood to splatter in all directions!

SlamM—!!

As Xue Ling followed through the strike, her two swords elegantly made pale bluish arcs of light, reaping out lives as her figure look like a celestial fairy dancing in the wind.

Clouds of dust and sparks flew everywhere.

It seemed like they were using their treasured blades to slice apart tofu, so effortlessly did they make their way through the hordes of monsters!

They didn't really have a fixed place on the battlefield. They were like free men, quickly appearing at wherever there was a need for them. The monsters gathered but it was eventually mowed down mercilessly—what a group of bloodthirsty and violent monsters that looked like fairies in appearance!

With incredible melee prowess, martial arts and power, they ruled the battlefield with few wounds.

Each of them with their godly equipment was comparable to a dozen monsters that could shake the world.

In an instant, the horde of monsters was left with only less than a dozen and all of them run off, tails between their legs.

“Ha ha ha ha, I’ve never felt like that since a few months ago…”

At this point, Celty and the others were like exhausted oil lamps. Their bodies were already swaying with fatigue, and upon seeing the monsters retreating like defeated dogs, her tense mental state finally was released, and she let go of her halberd, falling to the ground.

She laughed like a manic as she lay down the ground, blood covered her body. Her face pale and thin lips were even paler as she gasped like she just runs a marathon.

“… hey, lunatic… did you just throw that monster towards me intentionally?” Liu Muxiao walked over, her dress tattered and full of blood but although her face was pale, her brows were furrowed.

“You’re overthinking it,” Celty averted her eyes and rolled to the side.

“This lunatic!!”

“Sister Muxiao, calm down. I also saw it just now, Sister Celty didn’t really do it intentionally,” Xue Ling stood between them. A wry smile like this was normal appeared on her face. “In fact, she was about to chase it away…though, you won’t have any problem in dealing with that,”

“Hmph, that’s because she doesn’t watch where she’s fighting, I was almost blown away by that other monster…” Liu Muxiao complained.

“… I already apologize, didn’t I?” Celty sat up and stared at her.

“Apology is fine… but every fight you’re always like that! Like a loose wild beast…! Think about your comrades a little bit!” Liu Muxiao admonished.

“But I didn’t know you were on my right!”

“…That’s why to survey the entire battlefield properly!”

“I did! But who told you to become like a ghost? Appearing here and there, you suddenly pop out in some places no one would think you are there! How would I possibly know where you are? Don’t be unreasonable!” Celty pouted.

“…You’re the one who is unreasonable! You just need to check your surroundings before you fight and not just wildly brandished that halberd!”

“…And what should we do with them?”

“Let them be,”

Layla and Alkrasha glanced at each other, wearing wry smiles as they watch Liu Muxiao and Celty arguing. This had become normal for them. But they wouldn’t care too much about it, because even though they fighting and arguing like children, they know instinctively where to stop. They wouldn’t say too much nor do anything beyond the acceptable range.

They would just argue and then stop later on…

“… They are just venting their fatigues and exhaustion…”

“Good work!”

Layla shrugged her shoulders, giving up on them and turned towards Li Tian and Li Lian who along with the others were scrambling for the Beast corpses and cores. Although most corpses were accepted by the system, there were also those who were not necessary anymore other than their cores—it seems like it was already over the current limit for some kind of monsters.

Layla and the others, including the two other human females who were Layla’s protectors did not join in on the scramble. They assisted Layla as they went around Liu Muxiao and the rest to heal their injuries.

The worst injuries were on Xue Ling and Li Tian. Xue Ling’s left arm dangled from broken bones and cuts while Li Tian’s right leg and ribs were broken a deep gush was on her abdomen—but for the two, they were still bearable injuries and neither of them showed any kind of pain or discomfort.

… They were strong… extremely strong people…

As the tension within the group now started to subside—talking and chatting freely while sitting on the group—when suddenly, at this moment that the stone walls surrounding the valley let out sudden loud cracking sounds while small stone shards began to break away from the top.

“What is happening?!”

“Monsters?!”

“Again?”

Layla and Alkrasha immediately stood up, followed by the others. However, if they are bombarded with the same amount of monsters a while ago, Alkrasha looked towards Celty and the rest pale expressions and frowned.

This is a problem…!

They should still have some strength and power left but… it wouldn’t be enough to fight another intense battle again.

“Layla, let’s leave…!” Alkrasha declared.

She can protect the rest but it wouldn’t last long…

“I still have some Explosion Grenades and Bombs… there were also other weapons like guns and armor vehicles, we can leave without problem even with countless monsters…!” Celty suggested.

“I also have as well…”

“With not enough mana and strength, I guess cheat weapons can’t be helped~” Liu Muxiao shrugged with a wry smile.

As they were planning to summon their weapons for another battle, suddenly;

“Eh? Nothing’s coming…?”

The sounds grew louder and even the land shook but there were no beasts rushing towards their direction. Then, they saw it… giant stone hands began to come out from the sides of the stone walls. Within each pair of hands was a giant stone club, which was waved furiously about in the air before being slammed down upon the ground.

BOOM….!!

The ground shook.

*** ***

Bang! Boom! Bang!

“… Damn it! These beasts are so annoying!! Where did all these beasts come from?”

“Don’t waste your time complaining! Wentian, to your right! Le Fan, go support Mengmeng!”

Anxious and strong voices echoed with the dust laded valley. These voices echoed in the entire forest, accompanied by deafening sounds of explosions.

“Damn it! How dare you pull monsters towards us! I’m going to kill you after this, you bitches!!”

Another male voice echoed, full of anger and hate.

“Do you think we wanted to? These monsters suddenly appeared out of nowhere and attack us! How would we know you are here? We just wanted to escape and run away! It’s your bad luck that you are in this place!”

“What did you say, you bitch!?”

“Stop calling me with that filthy name!! Are you even a man?!”

“If you have time to waste for arguing, why not used it to fight harder?! Do you want us to drown beneath these monsters?!”

“Damn it! This was my chance to prove myself to the young lord and yet these bastards just come and wasted this opportunity?! I can’t die yet!”

“ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!”

The fight was extremely intense. It was not their first time fighting with monsters. Seeing the monsters advancing upon them, instead of panicking, each of them picked one to fight straight on.

Rooooarrr—!!

One of the monsters, a stocky gorilla got up on its two feet and patted its chest again, sending out a ‘thump-thump’ sound.

In the next instant, it charged against Qin Mengmeng once again.

Just as before, it picked up a huge stone along the way and threw it toward her.

And also just as before, Qin Mengmeng used her fists to easily send the stone flying. Soon after, she made a fist with her right hand and prepared to use the ‘Thunder Fist’ to get rid of this gorilla.

But right at this time, Qin Mengmeng saw the stocky gorilla bend its body and lift his shoulders, assuming an awe-inspiring pose. This pose was similar to ‘Glass Breaking Fist’ when Le Fan used the ‘Glass Breaking Fist’ earlier. Although it was only an imitation… it was still able to perfectly copy his posture after seeing it only once.

Was this thing really a gorilla?

Such high-level comprehension skills belonged only to a prodigy!

At this time, the stocky gorilla dashed forward like a bulldozer and closed in on Qin Mengmeng.

Even though it did not have any substance, contrary to its appearance, the stocky gorilla still had an intimidating physique and strength—the power its punch packed was rather significant.

Qin Mengmeng frowned and decided to avoid meeting the attack head-on. She slightly moved her body and performed the footwork of the ‘Gentle Raindrop Walk’. After which, she confidently and effortlessly took a few steps, and leisurely walked behind the gorilla.

Next, Qing Mengmeng slapped her palm on the gorilla’s back hard. This palm contained a significant amount of Spirit Qi. It was extremely strong and powerful!

Bang!!

The gorilla could not dodge in time and took the hit head-on. The impact went through its thick and sturdy skin, then to its muscles, injuring its inner organs.

Raaawrrr—!!

The gorilla cried out in pain and its saliva splattered everywhere. At the same time, upon impact, its body bumped towards the burning field of Liu Wentian, filled with burning flames. The gorilla’s fur immediately caught fire, and its continuous cries echoed… however, very soon, it ingeniously rolled around on the floor and quickly put out the fire on its body.

From the looks of it, they seemed to be very experienced when it came to putting out the fire on their bodies. Probably, in their everyday lives, it was not unusual for them to set their fur on fire.

“Liu Wentian, don’t spread the fire too much we’re in the middle of the forest! Attracting monsters and spreading wildfire is the last thing we needed!” Qing Mengmeng cried out in warning.

“I know! I’m restraining it!”

As he did, his arms blazed in flames—he was one of the few who had managed to acquire an ability first among the group—he was quite lucky to find a very rare herb. And now, in this group, he was among the top fighters with his ‘Pyrokinesis’

It was really enviable…!

That pure power that no martial techniques can imitate… damn it!

I will also get a good ability…!

Qing Mengmeng bit her lips.
