Ye Chen and the other two started off, now already in the city.
Meridian Lake is located in the southern part of this area; usually, many tourists come to play at this time of year.
But now, it has become a paradise for monsters.
Ye Chen said to Lin Nuoyi, "Nuoyi, remember to observe the Monster Chat Room information; there's still quite a bit of useful information in there."
Lin Nuoyi nodded, "Understood, any useful information, I'll inform you all immediately."
The streets were also filled with numerous monsters.
It seems this city has completely fallen.
The three, cloaked in the Tiger Skin Divine Garment, can hide their presence.
The journey was pretty smooth; one must say, this Tiger Skin Divine Garment is truly a divine artifact for hiding and ambush.
Unfortunately, it's ineffective against monsters above LV10.
And it only works for sneaking; once you attack, the camouflage effect is gone.
But for the relatively weak trio, the Tiger Skin Divine Garment is still a huge help.
Unconsciously, the trio had been traveling for half an hour.
"Bang!"
A sound of a wall shattering suddenly came, as something slammed into a nearby tall building, creating a hole.
Immediately followed by another crash, the seven-story building instantly collapsed.
A figure instantly appeared in front of them.
The three looked up.
A pet with an ape's head and a human body, carrying a human on its back, was running away. The human looked around twenty, with a worried expression.
[Vajra Ape]
Level: LV2
Stage: Juvenile Stage
Tier: Legend (Tier Six)
Skill: Frenzy (triples strength, lasts for thirty seconds, time increases with level.)
Attribute: Gold
Combat Power: 1100
Blood Volume: 12000
The Vajra Ape is covered in neither long nor short black fur, wielding an iron stick, and is immensely strong.
It's the human's pet.
In the next moment.
A six-meter tall monster suddenly appeared, relentlessly pursuing them.
[Celestial Bull]
Level: LV6
Skill: Thunder Double Horn
Combat Power: 1300
Blood Volume: 3500
Note: Thunder Double Horn releases an overload electric shock, and those hit will fall into a stupor, with the double horns absorbing the blood of the struck person.
The human suddenly looked towards Ye Chen and the others' location, shouting loudly, "Everyone, I'm Iron Bull, help me!"
Ye Chen was startled and couldn't help but smile wryly.
"It seems this Tiger Skin Divine Garment is only effective against monsters, not humans; he can see us."
Lin Nuoyi's expression suddenly softened, "Ye Chen, save him. I know this person; I saw him before while roaming outside; he's a good guy and has helped me."
Ye Chen also had this intention. Their team is a bit weak against advanced monsters; absorbing this Vajra Ape would be nice.
He, along with Blood Asura, emerged from the Tiger Skin Divine Garment, quickly running towards the Celestial Bull.
The Celestial Bull was encased in armor, with two tendrils on its head, faintly emitting the Power of Thunder.
Blood Asura had been restless, ever since acquiring the Scythe of Death, eager to test it on a monster.
She squealed excitedly, twirling the Scythe of Death in her hand, charging towards the Celestial Bull.
With Blood Wings, Blood Asura's Speed increased significantly.
Swish!
The scythe slashed across the Celestial Bull's arm.
-700!
The Celestial Bull let out a sizzling sound upon sighting the sudden appearance of Blood Asura.
Blood Asura hovered mid-air, taunting the big fool with the scythe.
"Buzz Buzz."
The Celestial Bull's armor suddenly opened, revealing four pairs of wings.
It also flew into the air, surprising everyone.
Iron Bull had already stopped, jumping off the Vajra Ape's back, arriving beside Ye Chen: "Thank you, brother, my name is Iron Bull, what's yours?"
Glancing at Iron Bull, Hou Qian said calmly, "Ye Chen."
Iron Bull nodded, then said, "Vajra Ape, go help Brother Ye Chen's pet."
The Vajra Ape snorted, releasing a puff of hot air, then quickly sprinted towards the Celestial Bull.
The Vajra Ape seemed to possess innate Divine Power, leaping gracefully.
Instantly, it grabbed the Celestial Bull's massive head.
Directly pulling it down, the Vajra Ape landed on the ground, pinning the Celestial Bull.
The Vajra Ape now emanated a blood-red Light.
Iron Bull said, "Brother Ye Chen, my Vajra Ape used the Frenzy skill, but it only lasts for thirty seconds; after thirty seconds, the Vajra Ape will be exhausted."
"Got it, we'll finish the fight in thirty seconds."
The Celestial Bull in front was merely an Ordinary Level, Level Six monster.
Without Ye Chen's command, Blood Asura was already charging.
'Swish!'
'Swish!'
Blood Asura's figure flickered, and two scythe strikes were deployed.
-700!
-600!
In no time, the Celestial Bull was slain, and Blood Asura plucked a feather from the Celestial Bull, wiping the Scythe of Death clean.
Clearly, Blood Asura cherished the Scythe of Death greatly.
A white bead with six gold dots floated into Ye Chen's inventory, along with other spoils collected by Ye Chen.
In this battle, Blood Asura gained 60 Experience Points.
Ye Chen also earned 40 Points.
The Vajra Ape now lay powerless on the ground.
It seems the use of Frenzy took quite a toll on the Vajra Ape.
This guy is strong but not enduring.
Gratefully, Iron Bull looked at Ye Chen, bowing, "Thank you, Brother Ye Chen; without you, I and the Vajra Ape might've been..."
Ye Chen patted Iron Bull's shoulder, smiling, "No need to thank me."
Iron Bull was well aware that the present Ye Chen and his pet Blood Asura
were far from ordinary.
In this chaotic world, it's really difficult to survive alone.
Having a team and a strong companion is very important.
Iron Bull really wanted to team up with Ye Chen but thought of his own strength, hesitating to speak.
Just as Iron Bull was about to leave with his Vajra Ape, Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi arrived.
"Iron Bull!"
Lin Nuoyi's voice rang out, causing Iron Bull to look over, shouting happily, "Lin Nuoyi!"
Lin Nuoyi smiled and nodded.
"Are you teammates with this Brother Ye Chen?"
"Yes, we are now a team, and Ye Chen is our leader!"
Iron Bull enviously said, "It's great to have such a powerful leader like Brother Ye Chen."
Lin Nuoyi asked, "What about you?"
Iron Bull forced a smile, "I'm alone, without teammates; the Vajra Ape and I have always been on the run."
Lin Nuoyi sighed helplessly.
She wanted to suggest to Ye Chen to let Iron Bull join their team.
After all, she knew Iron Bull was reliable in character.
But considering she and Zhu Qiang still needed Ye Chen's protection, it wasn't easy to ask for an additional person to protect like Iron Bull.
Iron Bull thought briefly, then smiled, "You all be careful, I'll leave with the Vajra Ape. Thank you, Brother Ye Chen!"
Saying this, Iron Bull turned to walk towards the Vajra Ape, his tone holding a hint of melancholy.
"Hey, where are you going!"
Iron Bull turned back to find Ye Chen smiling at him.
Iron Bull suddenly felt at a loss, "I... I don't know!"
Ye Chen, seeing Iron Bull's confused expression, smiled, "Well if you don't know, why not join my team!"
