107: Chapter 107 This is what you call grinding monsters!

Ten minutes later.

On an open field less than five kilometers from the ruins, the Floating City slowly descended.

Five Bone Dragons flew out from the Combat Readiness Platform, circling the Floating City.

Four of them guarded the four corners, while Long Gu lay on top of the Floating City, yawning with its massive skeletal maw.

In the distance, scouts from the Angel Race and Demon Hunter Race simultaneously transmitted this scene back to their respective camps.

Chen Wei watched the footage and analyzed, "Five dragons..."

"And each one has an orange shield."

He opened the command panel, "All Angels, listen up: do not approach the Floating City."

...

Demon Hunter Race camp.

Samuel watched the footage, his eyes flickering with intensity.

"Five dragons, plus the Floating City..."

He turned to the Demon Hunter, "Continue surveillance. Do not act rashly."

"Yes."

...

Floating City.

Xu Qin stood on the Watchtower, looking at the ruins in the distance.

"Tian Ming."

"Here."

"Send fifty thousand Troglodytes down to dig a massive Underground Space directly beneath the Floating City."

"At least one hundred thousand square meters in area, thirty meters deep."

"Then dig ten standard pits, each fifty meters square and twenty meters deep."

"Yes."

Xu Qin turned around and looked at Long Gu, which was lying on the top of the city.

"Let's get your level up first."

Long Gu slightly raised its head and looked at Xu Qin.

"Yes, Master."

The efficiency of the fifty thousand Troglodytes, after being strengthened, had reached an absurd level.

In just four hours, an Underground Space thirty meters deep directly beneath the Floating City had been excavated, covering over one hundred and fifty thousand square meters.

The ten standard pits were also all in place.

Xu Qin stood at the entrance of the Underground Space, looking up at the dome.

"This construction speed... back on Earth, you'd need a tunnel boring machine for this."

After shaking his head and sighing, he turned around.

At this moment, Long Gu had arrived at the center of the Underground Space via the Combat Readiness Platform.

Because of its massive size, it had to tuck its wing bones tightly against its body to barely avoid touching the rock walls on either side.

"Long Gu."

"Here, Master."

Xu Qin pointed at the ten standard pits, "Do you see those pits?"

Long Gu nodded slightly.

"Soon, something called a Mineral Vein Guardian will spawn in those pits. They have 100,000 HP and about 300 attack."

Xu Qin gestured, "Theoretically, they shouldn't pose a threat to you, but I'm not sure. So, let's test the first round and kill twenty to see."

Long Gu lowered its head.

"Master, do not worry."

Xu Qin nodded, "Alright, let's start. Tian Ming!"

"Here." Tian Ming replied.

"Release twenty Guardians in the first pit."

"Yes."

Tian Ming walked to the first standard pit and took out twenty Guardian remains from the transport vehicle.

Nine-plus minutes later...

Click, click, click!

Twenty Mineral Vein Guardians climbed up from the bottom of the pit.

But as soon as they stood steady, they saw the descending Long Gu.

Before they could even react, Long Gu had opened its massive mouth.

Golden soul fire poured out.

Boom!!

The Dragon King's Breath, with a radius of twenty meters, engulfed the entire pit opening.

-12,000!

-12,000!

...

Twenty damage numbers popped up simultaneously.

The Guardians with 100,000 HP lost one-eighth of their health in one breath.

But that wasn't the main point.

The point was what followed.

After breathing once, Long Gu directly strode forward with its front claws and charged into the group of Guardians.

It slapped down with one claw.

-8,500!

One of the Guardian's limbs was directly shattered.

Then, Long Gu swept its tail.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three Guardians were sent flying, crashing into the rock wall, sending stone fragments flying everywhere.

-8,500!

-8,500!

-8,500

Xu Qin stood in the distance watching this scene, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

Are the Guardians this weak?

The remaining few Guardians climbed up and smashed at Long Gu's leg bones.

-180

-195.

-170.

...

Xu Qin looked at Long Gu's 450,000 HP bar, then looked at the three-digit damage the Guardians dealt.

"..."

It was equivalent to a tickle.

Then, the dragon claw slapped down...

In less than thirty seconds, all twenty Guardians were reduced to remains.

Long Gu turned to look at Xu Qin.

"Master, are there more?"

Xu Qin's mouth twitched.

Are there more? Of course there are!

Just then!

Hum!

War Gift triggered.

Ding!

[Long Gu gained 36,000 EXP!]

[Long Gu leveled up! Level 1 → Level 4!]

Xu Qin: "?"

Leveled up three times in one wave? Is it really that absurd?

He quickly opened Long Gu's panel.

Its attack power had risen to 9,200, and its HP had risen to 480,000.

"Again!"

Xu Qin pointed at the large pits: "Tian Ming! Open all ten pits!"

"Max out the resurrection speed! As long as there is no movement in the pits, keep releasing them!"

"Yes!"

"If that's not enough, add more pits!"

Ten pits, twenty each, a total of two hundred Guardians.

A few minutes later.

Two hundred Mineral Vein Guardians resurrected one after another.

Long Gu looked at the group of stone monsters rushing over and slightly spread its bone wings.

Dragon King's Breath.

Boom!!!

...

In less than a minute.

Another twenty fell.

Then it charged into the monster group and began a physical cleanup.

Crack!

Bang!

Boom!

Numbers kept jumping.

Xu Qin watched the time on the command panel from the side.

All two hundred Guardians were cleared.

It took Long Gu a total of two and a half minutes.

And its own HP had dropped by less than 20,000.

"No wonder James could hold his own against both the Angel and Demon Hunter Races; dragons are truly ridiculously overpowered!"

Xu Qin stood to the side, watching the spectacle before him.

Inside the Underground Space.

A golden Bone Dragon over forty meters long was rampaging through the middle of two hundred stone monsters.

Every time it breathed, a whole row fell.

Every time it swung a claw, three shattered.

The Guardians outputted damage desperately, but the damage dealt to Long Gu was not even as much as what its innate Dragon Scale Regeneration restored.

The third round.

Cleared in four minutes.

Ding!

[Long Gu leveled up! Level 6 → Level 11!]

The fourth round.

Ding!

[Long Gu leveled up! Level 11 → Level 15!]

The fifth round.

Ding!

[Long Gu leveled up! Level 15 → Level 19!]

Xu Qin watched, his face tightening.

"This is what you call grinding monsters!"

After sighing, he handed the task of grinding monsters to Tian Ming, who would be fully responsible.

"Tian Ming! You stay here and keep an eye on things. Test how many the dragon can kill per round at most."

"Keep the number remaining in the pits above the safety line; don't let the Guardians overpopulate."

"Yes, Master."

"I will gradually increase the number released per round to test."

Xu Qin had one hundred percent trust in Tian Ming.

"Then, thank you for your hard work."

"Rest assured, Master."

...

On the surface.

Xu Qin arrived at the Floating City's Watchtower.

At this moment, around the territory.

Five thousand Troglodytes were mining at the distant iron ore deposit.

Skeleton Vultures were patrolling the sky.

Four Bone Dragons were lying at the four corners of the Floating City.

Everything was quiet and peaceful.

He opened the regional map and looked at the ruins.

Currently, the ruins were directly to the west, less than five kilometers away in a straight line.

The Troglodytes' speed for digging large tunnels was one hundred meters per hour.

Five thousand Troglodytes, divided into two rotating shifts, could advance one thousand two hundred meters a day.

Four days.

In four days, they could dig directly beneath the ruins.

Xu Qin opened another command channel.

"Shadow."

"Here."

"Pull three thousand out from the mining Troglodytes and start digging towards the west."

"Forty meters deep, three meters wide, two meters high."

"Note: the end of this tunnel is directly beneath the relic of the ruins. Do not break through to the surface after digging to it."

"Yes!"

Seeing Shadow begin to act, Xu Qin closed the panel with satisfaction.
