151: Chapter 151 Slaughterhouse

Deep within Quan Island, inside a certain cave.

In the center of the cave, sitting upon a throne of tangled dark-red roots, was an exceptionally aged old crone with skin the color of withered bark.

"Hehehe, the first Tribe to set foot on Quan Island has appeared."

A hair-raising sound squeezed out of her throat.

"This time, it was faster than ever before." From deep within the cave's shadows, an inhuman, ethereal female voice rang out faintly.

"Creepy Granny, it seems this time the little snacks have quite the bite?"

The strange old crone called Creepy Granny had eyes that were completely white.

Her mouth split open, revealing fragmented and blackened teeth, just as she was about to speak—

Suddenly, images flooded into her mind once again.

Her entire hunched body trembled violently, and her white eyes snapped wide open.

At this moment, the southern region of Quan Island in her mind's eye was a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses.

The little brats of the entire southern district had been almost completely wiped out!

Creepy Granny's shriveled chest heaved violently, and her ashen face became even more hideous.

"All dead, they're all dead," she murmured repeatedly, her voice filled with horror.

In the shadows, that ethereal voice spoke up:

"Creepy Granny, why such panic? It's just one Tribe that managed to kill off all the 'little beasts' that attacked them."

In her view, those low-level monsters were nothing more than cannon fodder; if they died, they could just breed and convert more.

The true core and power of Quan Island was far beyond what those little brats could compare to.

The strange Creepy Granny snapped her head around, her white eyes glaring into the depths of the shadows, her voice trembling:

"It's not just the brats who went to attack that are dead—every single brat in the southern district is dead."

"That was a massacre! A total clearing of the area! And those humans... they have an aura that makes me very uncomfortable. There are also two women... I can't see through them!"

Just then—

*Boom!*

At the cave's entrance, several violent and bloodthirsty auras suddenly charged in.

These were several high-level monsters who had rushed over upon hearing the news, possessing powerful auras and even more hideous, twisted forms.

One of them let out a roar like muffled thunder, its eyes burning with raging fury.

"Creepy Granny! The brats in the southern district were slaughtered by the new humans?! Is it true?!"

Its voice was filled with disbelief and explosive rage.

Even if those "little brats" lacked strength, their numbers were massive; how could they have been wiped out in half a day!

Not to mention, many of them were brats with potential.

The Human-Faced Spider Mother's mouthparts opened and closed, venom dripping down. "Where did these pieces of trash come from! How dare they run wild on Quan Island! I'm going to strip their skins off and hang them in my nest to dry!"

Several terrifying auras quickly receded, hurtling toward the southern district.

Silence temporarily returned to the cave.

Several miles away from the cliffside wooden fortress.

The Human-Faced Spider Mother, Hundred-Armed, and the dozen or so fierce elite monsters they brought with them came to a halt.

Before them was a scene from hell.

As far as the eye could see, every inch of land was covered by the corpses of their kin and congealed, foul blood.

In some places, the piles of corpses even exceeded two meters in height!

There wasn't a single trace of life.

The Human-Faced Spider Mother's eight compound eyes swiveled rapidly, flashing with a cold and cruel light:

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"

Bloody tears fell from Hundred-Armed' eyes. "Revenge, revenge... tear them apart, chew their bones."

The elite guard monsters also let out suppressed growls, their eyes burning with rage.

"Oh? Finally here?"

A calm male voice, even carrying a hint of slight boredom, rang out from behind a mountain of corpses.

Following that, under the monsters' gaze, Qi Yun's figure slowly stood atop that two-meter-high corpse mountain, looking down at them.

Behind him, Xia Jin, Chen Xiaolin, Ye Xi, Su Mu, Sophia, Shu Qianxue, and the others appeared one after another.

Hundred-Armed and the other monsters were stunned for a moment, and then their fury burned even hotter!

It was them! These dozen or so humans had slaughtered the entire southern district?!

And they actually had the audacity to walk out so openly?!

They even looked like they were tired of waiting?!

Arrogant! Simply too arrogant!

"Humans! You're looking for death!!!"

"I'm going to..."

Hundred-Armed' eyes bulged, its voice like a clap of thunder.

"So noisy. If you're going to fight, then fight. Enough with the nonsense. We're in a hurry."

Qi Yun interrupted its unoriginal threats, picking his ear with some impatience.

"In a hurry? In a hurry to be reincarnated?!"

The Human-Faced Spider Mother interjected coldly, venom dripping from its mouthparts and making a "sizzling" sound as it corroded the ground.

"Don't worry, we'll make sure you enjoy yourselves. We won't let you die too quickly..."

"I will tear your limbs off joint by joint and listen to your screams..." The Hundred-Armed conglomerate writhed closer.

"Alright, alright, the lines are all the same."

Chen Xiaolin curled her lip as fine blue electrical arcs began to dance around her, her tone carrying excitement.

"That spider's venom is quite interesting; we could collect some samples." Bai Yu looked at the venom with great interest.

The monsters: "...???"

Are these humans brain-damaged?!

Facing so many high-level monsters, instead of being afraid, they were discussing how to fight?!

What a supreme humiliation!

"Kill—!!!"

The countless arms on the Hundred-Armed conglomerate suddenly elongated like a pale wave, reaching out for everyone from the ground and the air from all directions.

The other elite guard monsters also roared and launched their attacks!

The great battle erupted in an instant!

However, the progress of the battle was the exact opposite of the "crushing" and "torturous slaughter" the monsters had envisioned.

The battle presented a one-sided crushing situation.

These high-level monsters, who had lorded over Quan Island and viewed humans as food and playthings, were powerless before the core combat force of the 01 Tribe, whose levels had soared and whose coordination was becoming increasingly seamless.

In less than five minutes.

The only monster left standing in the field was Hundred-Armed.

Only a dozen or so arms remained, waving and writhing feebly; most of its main body was frozen solid, and its aura had withered to the extreme.

It was surrounded in a semi-circle by Qi Yun, Xia Jin, Chen Xiaolin, Sophia, Shu Qianxue, and the others.

Those overlapping, spiteful whispers had long since turned into fearful, intermittent wails and pleas for mercy.

"Spare my life, I can tell you about 'Creepy Granny' and 'that Lord'..."

Qi Yun looked at the Hundred-Armed conglomerate trembling and begging for mercy within the encirclement. His face was expressionless as he simply said one thing:

"Sorry, we don't really like keeping things this ugly."

The moment the words fell.

*Swish!*

Several attacks landed almost simultaneously on the twisted, writhing body of the Hundred-Armed conglomerate.

*Puff—!*

Hundred-Armed couldn't even let out a final scream before its entire body was instantly annihilated.

Silence returned to the valley.

He checked his system panel and saw the experience bar had jumped another segment, nodding in satisfaction.

"This really is a good place to level up." He murmured to himself, his gaze sweeping over the monster corpses covering the ground, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes.

The strength of these monsters and the experience they provided far exceeded ordinary mutated creatures of the same level.

Furthermore, it seemed that the deeper they went into the island, the higher the strength and quality of the monsters.

That Creepy Granny, and that mysterious Lord... how much experience would they provide?

The corner of Qi Yun's mouth curled into a cold arc.

The dark cave.

*Puff—!*

Sitting upon the root throne, Creepy Granny's body trembled violently, and she spat out a mouthful of dark-green foul blood!

"Dead... they're dead... all dead..."

Her withered fingers clawed desperately at the roots of the throne, her nails splitting and oozing blackened fluid.

"Broodmother... Hundred-Armed... their... their auras... wiped out... just now... in an instant... all wiped out..."

The cave was deathly silent.

There was only Creepy Granny's heavy, pained, and despairing gasps.

Deep in the shadows, that ethereal voice...

This time, it did not ring out again.

There was no response at all.
