Experience is like picking up something for free

After resting for a while, the six of them headed to the fifth floor.

The cave on the fifth floor was somewhat dark, making it hard to see what was inside clearly.

【Welcome to the fifth floor. Kill Yu Lian to obtain 50,000 experience points. Time limit: 90 minutes.】

A female monster with a delicate appearance and a slim figure appeared in the center of the cave.

This monster was three meters tall and gaunt, looking somewhat abnormal.

【Yu Lian】

Rank: LV25

Grade: Lord

Attribute: Dark

...

"Shadow Clan!" Yu Nian was slightly startled.

Zhu Qiang smacked his lips and said, "This monster looks quite pretty, but this height and this figure look so uncoordinated. I have absolutely no desire for it!"

Tie Niu gave Zhu Qiang a lecherous look and said, "Zhu Qiang, when can you be serious? Are you even interested in this monster?"

"Shut your mouth!"

Yu Lian looked at Ye Chen and the other five, frowning as she asked, "Where is this? And who are you people!"

"This is the Hell Secret Realm, and we are Pet Masters."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lian's brows furrowed deeply, and her expression turned exceptionally ugly. "To think it's here, how ridiculous!"

These words caught Ye Chen's attention. Could it be that Yu Lian knew the origin of the Hell Secret Realm?

Ye Chen asked, "Do you know the origin of this Hell Secret Realm?"

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense, die!"

Having said that, Yu Lian waved her hand, and a mass of black shadows surged toward Ye Chen and his group.

The black shadows transformed into ferocious wolves, baring their bloodthirsty maws.

Fire Strike!

Dan Shi spat out a ball of flames, breaking the incoming black shadows.

Dark Ji had already arrived beside Yu Lian. Pfft!

The Slaying Heaven Short Sword stabbed into Yu Lian's shoulder, was immediately pulled out, and then stabbed in again.

"How preposterous! How dare you hurt me, this Lady!" Yu Lian coldly snorted, raised her right hand, and a ball of black mist shot toward Dark Ji, blasting her back several meters.

This black shadow attached itself to Dark Ji's body and actually had corrosive abilities.

A large piece of the clothing on Dark Ji's body quickly rotted away.

"Brother Chen, this thing is a bit hard to deal with!"

The black shadow on Yu Lian's body shimmered with black gas.

Yu Nian patted the Flower Fairy's head and said, "Flower Fairy, go!"

The Flower Fairy nodded. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—vines rose up, intertwining with each other, and the shape formed by the entangled vines actually turned into a cage.

Under the Flower Fairy's control, the cage directly trapped Yu Lian inside.

"Holy crap, when did the Flower Fairy learn this move!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. It was just as he had thought; the Flower Fairy's vines indeed had the ability to change shape.

The cage suddenly began to shrink, tightly binding Yu Lian.

Yu Lian's hands and feet were controlled, making her unable to move.

Dark Ji launched an attack, stabbing the Slaying Heaven Short Sword through the gaps in the vines.

Pfft!

Pfft!

In a short while, Yu Lian had been stabbed a dozen times by Dark Ji.

Her 500,000 HP dropped sharply to 350,000.

"Enough!" Yu Lian roared, and the black shadow attached itself to the vines, beginning to corrode them.

In a short while, the vine cage was melted into black water.

Ugh!

Yu Lian's figure spun, and waves of black shadows rushed toward the people around her. Some black shadows transformed into long swords, while others transformed into various animals, a dense swarm rushing toward Ye Chen and his group.

"I'll handle it!" Zhu Qiang said excitedly.

The Piggy Dragon grunted, opened its big mouth, and sucked all the incoming black shadows into it.

Thirty seconds later, the Piggy Dragon zipped into the air and fired an air cannon at Yu Lian.

However, this air cannon was black!

While in flight, the air cannon began to fission, with long swords and animals rushing toward Yu Lian.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The long swords stabbed into Yu Lian's body, but unfortunately, they didn't cause much damage.

However, the air cannon caused 20,000 damage.

Yu Lian was somewhat enraged, letting out a couple of wails.

Yu Lian's eyes seemed to be spewing fire as she rapidly charged toward the Piggy Dragon in the air.

Swoosh!

Heaven Shocking Slash!

Ye Chen leaped up, the sound of thunder roaring.

With this Slash, he instantly killed Yu Lian.

When a person launches an attack, it is also the time when they reveal their Flaw.

Ye Chen had been waiting for this opportunity.

After all, this Yu Lian seemed to have high intelligence and endless tricks up her sleeve.

However, in the face of absolute damage, all attacks are just for show.

【Congratulations on obtaining 50,000 experience points.】

Dark Ji leveled up!

Finally, Gun Gun also leveled up to LV15.

【Reached LV15, obtained Innate Skill: Infinite Taunt. Gun Gun emits a roar, attracting all enemies to attack it for 30 seconds. Creation Pet reaches LV15, opens spiritual wisdom, and can speak human language.】

Looking at Gun Gun's innate skill, Ye Chen felt a bit helpless. This Gun Gun's skill was truly bizarre; it actually made others hit it. It's unbelievable.

Zhu Qiang and the others had also leveled up to LV20, officially stepping into the Ranks of the strong.

Tang Qiu also promoted to LV19.

As for Tang Qiu, she had been in a daze; this leveling was too fast, and the speed at which Ye Chen obtained the hell secret realm key was also too fast.

In the past, leveling up was practically agonizing, but after being with Ye Chen and the others, it felt as easy as eating.

Other Alliances would probably have to mobilize the power of their entire Alliance just to obtain one hell secret realm key.

Ye Chen said, "Let's rest for a bit, replenish our Qi and HP, and then head straight to the sixth floor."

Yu Nian and the others nodded in agreement.

Ye Chen glanced at the Blood Asura's attribute panel and frowned slightly. The Blood Asura's experience points were already enough, so why wasn't it leveling up?
