Chapter 62 - Demonic Monsters
“Annoying fellow, are you alright?” Chu Yan saw Lu Benwei and immediately asked with concern.
“I’m fine. What about you? What happened?” Lu Benwei immediately replied.
Chu Yan shook her head and pointed in a direction. “Look over there first.”
Lu Benwei looked in the direction she was pointing. As expected, Chu Yan’s situation was the same as his.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground in front of them, and it was a tragic sight.
Lu Benwei also realized that he could not contact the outside world. He frowned and fell into deep thought.
Looking at the equipment of this group of people, they were all above level 25 when they were alive.
“This is the central area. It’s not to the point where everyone will die,” Lu Benwei said while thinking.
Chu Yan’s expression was calm as if she had seen through everything.
“Do you know what’s going on?” Lu Benwei asked.
“I’m guessing it’s a demonic monster,” Chu Yan said, her hand supporting her chin.
Demonic monster?! Lu Benwei was shocked. Then, he realized that this was the only explanation.
Demonic monsters were not ordinary monsters. They were the most powerful of all ferocious monsters and posed the greatest threat to humans.
It was rumored that it was because of their arrival that the catacombs of other dimensions were brought to the world. That was why humans were forced to enter an era where everyone changed their occupations.
In reality, humans were no match for monsters at the same level. However, the demonic monsters should be living deep within the secret realm, so why would they suddenly appear to kill humans?
After heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Benwei said in a deep voice, “Chu Yan, we can’t stay here for long. I think we should return to the camp as soon as possible.”
Chu Yan nodded. “Yes. No matter what, this group of monsters isn’t only large in number, but their levels are also high. They may be far above level 30!”
The two of them agreed and left. After walking for about four or five miles, Lu Benwei suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Yan asked.
“Pay attention, there seems to be the sound of battle.” Lu Benwei made a gesture to keep quiet.
The two of them calmed their hearts and listened carefully.
“Captain, you should leave quickly!”
“As many as we can!”
His voice was very low, but Lu Benwei and Chu Yan could hear the anxiety and despair in his tone.
After identifying the location, Lu Benwei hurriedly said, “Over there, let’s go.” They immediately strode in that direction. When the two of them got closer, they saw that the man was very close to them.
They discovered that the people who were surrounded were Hai Yue’s team.
Hai Yue’s team was facing two lizard-like humanoid monsters that were less than 1.5 meters tall.
In the team, only Miss Hai Yue and three other members were left.
Eye of Insight activated!
The information about the two monsters was instantly ready.
[Monster: Demonic lizard]
[Level: 25]
[Lizard-type monster, powerful, attack and defense in one. Its only weakness is fire!]
At this moment, one of the demonic lizards was entangled with Hai Yue. It had the upper hand and was gradually forcing Hai Yue into a corner.
The other one was stepping on a pretty healer of the team, sticking out its long tongue that was covered in saliva and licking her face.
The remaining two members were both heavily injured, and they looked at the lizard-like monster with fiery red eyes.
Lu Benwei saw this and immediately held the Ancient Sword of Clarity. He wanted to use the Divine Sword of Destruction.
Thinking that the powerful force could definitely hurt the healer, Lu Benwei kept away the Ancient Sword of Clarity.
Myriad Light Fist exploded!
The white fists that covered the sky and the earth converged into one and blasted toward the demonic lizard. The demonic lizard gently flicked its tail.
Myriad Light Fist was scattered like smoke. Taking advantage of this gap, the healer of Hai Yue’s team pulled away from the demonic lizard.
Hai Yue noticed the movement and was slightly surprised.
“Lu Benwei?”
“Chu Yan?”
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were only freshmen at Zhejiang Hunter University, but they were able to make it here. It was unbelievable.
“Lu Benwei, be careful. These two are level-25 monsters close to gold.”
Apart from the normal classification of levels, monsters also had another system of classification of strength.
Level 10 was bronze, level 20 was silver, level 30 was gold, level 40 was diamond, and level 50 was monster king.
Compared to demonic monsters of the same level, silver demonic monsters were more powerful, comparable to hunters of level 30! Furthermore, some silver monsters were not weaker than level-40 hunters!
Hai Yue was at level 32, and she was barely able to keep one of them busy. However, the strength of the remaining members could not compete with the monster at all.
“Lu Benwei, hurry up and go!”
Thinking that Lu Benwei might only be around level 20, Hai Yue felt that he was a burden.
“You’re no match for these two monsters!” Hai Yue said with a serious expression.
Lu Benwei directly used a healing skill on her. In an instant, Hai Yue was enveloped by a warm and soft light. A warm current spread through her entire skin, and her blood volume returned to its peak state.
In the next second, Hai Yue instantly pulled away from the demonic lizard.
“What a terrifying healing skill!” Hai Yue exclaimed.
“A healing skill recovered all of my strength. This must have cost you a lot, right?” Not only did Hai Yue not show any gratitude, but she also rebuked him.
In her understanding, a magician in his early twenties with a skill that could recover an astonishing amount of health must have its backlash.
Even if Lu Benwei’s talent was high in her eyes, it was impossible for him to not have a backlash.
To these two powerful monsters, the only difference was whether they died faster or later.
In her eyes, Lu Benwei had completely become a burden. However, this powerful healing skill was only Lu Benwei’s Minor Healing.
After letting out a heavy sigh, Hai Yue said sadly, “Xiaoyan, you guys take them and leave first.”
“As far as I can go,” she said after a pause. Xiaoyan was the healer that Lu Benwei had just saved, and her status in Hai Yue’s team was not low.
“But what about you?” she asked.
“I’ll stall them. You’ll know if they’re dead or alive when you get out.” Hai Yue’s voice carried a hint of despair.
At this moment, two strange and unrestrained laughter could be heard.
“Don’t waste your energy. You’re all my good food.”
“Stop struggling, little beauties, and obediently serve our lord!”
The two demonic lizards spoke in the human language and stared at all the women in the crowd with greedy eyes. They raised their hands in front of their chests and kept rubbing in the air.
“Hehe, Big Brother, now that there’s another beauty, how do you think we should split her?” The demonic lizard who looked shorter laughed pervertedly.
The big brother of the demonic lizard stretched out its long tongue with thick saliva and licked his lips lustfully as if it was tasting a delicious meal.
“We’ll take one each of those two pretty ones. The remaining one will be our slave and serve us.” After saying that, it laughed out loud.
“Good idea!” the demonic lizard underling replied and continued, “But let’s make this clear first. I want that beautiful woman who came later.”
After it finished speaking, it looked at Chu Yan with a lustful gaze and swept its gaze over her body.
Chu Yan shuddered and almost vomited the meal she had the night before.
At this time, Lu Benwei decided to make a move.
