These were the items dropped by the Black Mist Death God itself, but what made Ye Chen happiest was the double experience.

At this moment, Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi also rushed over together.

"Brother Chen, are you alright?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I'm fine!"

Zhu Qiang looked at the dead Black Mist Death God and exclaimed, "Brother Chen, you're amazing! You instantly killed this Black Mist Death God with one strike. I admire you so much!"

Just then, Blood Asura changed. She knelt on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, as a pair of small blood-red bone wings grew from her back.

"Blood Asura, is this an evolution?"

Zhu Qiang asked in surprise.

Ye Chen nodded.

After a while, Blood Asura stood up again, floated into the air, and her speed increased significantly.

It seemed these blood wings improved Blood Asura's speed.

Ye Chen looked at the loot on the ground and said, "Collect these items. Let's find a place to rest for the night."

The sky was gradually darkening; it was already seven in the evening.

Fortunately, it was summer, so the night fell a bit later.

The three quickly found a relatively good-looking villa and walked in.

They locked the door from the inside.

Ye Chen was afraid the lights would attract monsters, so he pulled all the curtains before turning on the lights.

Fortunately, the electricity here hadn't been damaged. The three sat on the living room sofa, and Zhu Qiang poured out all the collected loot.

There wasn't much, and the three took what they could use, each according to their needs.

Zhu Qiang rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry."

Then Zhu Qiang got up and searched the villa. Fortunately, there was plenty of food.

After the three had eaten their fill, they lay on the sofa.

Beauty Snake snuggled into Lin Nuoyi's arms, while Piggy Dragon kept following Blood Asura.

He would occasionally grunt at Blood Asura. Ye Chen then remembered the Death Scythe he had just acquired and immediately took it out.

This scythe was suitable for dark-attribute pets, which fit Blood Asura perfectly.

Although the Thunderclap Blade was of high grade, it was not suitable for Blood Asura.

The moment Blood Asura saw the Death Scythe, her eyes instantly lit up.

Then Blood Asura quickly came to Ye Chen and snatched the Death Scythe.

She played with the Death Scythe, unable to put it down. She floated in the air, swinging the Death Scythe around.

Her expression couldn't help but smile; it seemed she was very satisfied with the Death Scythe.

She threw the Thunderclap Blade she had been using to Ye Chen, her expression even showing a hint of disdain.

Ye Chen couldn't help but feel helpless; she really was someone who easily tired of the old and favored the new.

After a day of fighting, everyone was exhausted. Lying on the sofa, they soon fell asleep.

The three little ones also slowly drifted into dreamland.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Ye Chen was awakened by a grunting sound.

He opened his eyes and, still groggy, saw a figure in front of him.

He focused and saw it was Lin Nuoyi. When she saw Ye Chen awake, she smiled.

"Awake?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I was too tired, so I slept a bit longer."

Zhu Qiang also woke up at this moment, rubbing his eyes and saying, "You all woke up quite early."

He yawned, seemingly still very sleepy.

Lin Nuoyi opened the Monster Chat Room and said to them, "Come quickly and look, there's a new message in the chat room."

The two looked over and saw it was a new announcement.

[After killing monsters, some monster corpses will have monster cores. Do not throw them away. The chat room has an NPC store where cores can be recycled for gold coins. Gold coins can be exchanged for items in the store.]

"Holy cow! Why do I suddenly feel like I lost a hundred million!"

Zhu Qiang exclaimed loudly.

The monster corpses killed yesterday were left behind by the three, and there was indeed a strange bead inside the corpses.

However, there was no prompt that it was loot, so the few of them didn't pay attention to it.

Now, recalling it, they felt very regretful.

However, Ye Chen didn't take it to heart; he had the System Store.

Weren't the items in the System Store better than those in the chat room?

Just as Zhu Qiang was exclaiming in regret, Lin Nuoyi suddenly said, "It seems from now on, we not only have to guard against monsters but also against humans."

Lin Nuoyi hit the nail on the head with one sentence.

With the existence of monster cores, it was inevitable that some people would resort to murder and robbery.

Zhu Qiang was a bit slow to react and hadn't quite grasped it yet.

Ye Chen said, "Indeed, it seems we need to be more careful from now on."

Zhu Qiang instantly understood what was happening and couldn't help but curse, "What is the Monster Chat Room's intention? Is it to make us stronger, or to make us kill each other?"

Ye Chen said coldly, "Whatever their intention, we must be more careful from now on."

"Let's go. I just checked the chat room store, and there are many things that can improve our strength, but they require too many gold coins. Let's go out now and continue hunting monsters to improve our abilities."

The two nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Ye Chen led the way out of the villa.

"Stop eating! Let's go!"

Zhu Qiang patted Piggy Dragon, who was eating the leftover food from last night, on the head.

Piggy Dragon grunted, took another bite, and then followed the three out of the villa.

Outside the villa, there weren't many monsters left.

Ye Chen didn't even bother with low-level monsters. To improve quickly, they had to hunt high-level monsters.

After all, high-level monsters gave more experience, dropped more items, and their cores exchanged for more gold coins.

More importantly, hunting low-level monsters would decrease, not increase, the team's combat experience.

Ye Chen said, "Where do we go next?"

Lin Nuoyi glanced at the Monster Chat Room and said, "Someone, before they died, said that an LV7, rare-grade monster appeared in Ziwu Lake to the south. Should we go check it out?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Alright, an LV7 monster should be just right for us."

Immediately, the three did not hesitate and headed straight for Ziwu Lake.

What Ye Chen and the others didn't know was that, due to the appearance of the chat room NPC store, many factions had already taken root and risen in this area.

At the same time.

With the appearance of the NPC store, everyone also activated a new function.

That was the ability to see others' basic information, which was to allow humans to better fight each other.
