gargoyle

A Rank 9 monster?

Just as Ye Chen stepped out of the entrance to Unit 1, he ran straight into an Enforcement Team consisting of 7 people.

The leader was a young woman wearing a full set of soft armor, with her hair cut into an exquisite short style.

Standing behind her was a Bull Warrior clad in iron armor, possessing the head of a bull and the body of a human, with steel rings about ten centimeters in diameter hanging from his nose and ears.

This was the female captain's pet.

Rank 5.

He stood fully three meters tall and held a sharp axe.

Why are they leveling up so fast?

Ye Chen was a bit bewildered. Since the monsters descended, only about half an hour had passed, and he hadn't idled for a single moment, constantly grinding for experience.

Even so, Blood Asura hadn't reached Rank 3 yet.

The Enforcement Team before him not only had a Rank 5 Bull Warrior but also possessed combat uniforms.

This meant that as soon as the government learned that monsters were about to invade the real world, they had already mobilized, using all available resources to help the Enforcement Team craft battle armor.

Most importantly, their distribution was very rational; they left the final blow to the captain's pet.

By letting one pet become the main damage dealer first, they maximized their chances of victory.

"There is a Rank 9 monster here, you should leave quickly."

The female captain, named Tang Qiu, looked at Ye Chen with some surprise; she hadn't expected him to come out alive.

Moreover, the pet behind him possessed remarkable strength; if she remembered correctly, its Rank was quite high.

Hmm!

Ye Chen had no intention of participating in the Enforcement Team's battle; he was still very weak, and Dark Ji and the Alchemist could not be exposed.

Since the Enforcement Team was going to clear this building, he would just go somewhere else.

In any case, monsters were everywhere, so he didn't have to worry about not having a place to grind for experience.

"Let's go!"

Tang Qiu led her team into Unit 2, preparing for battle.

A Rank 9 monster—if it leveled up again, it would reach Rank 10, and at that point, its destructive power and danger would be immense.

If not eliminated now, it would lead to endless trouble.

A hundred meters ahead was the vegetable market.

Ye Chen moved cautiously, crossing the street to arrive at the entrance.

He saw that the interior was in shambles, clearly having experienced a battle.

Many corpses of ordinary people had turned into blood and minced meat, a gruesome sight, and among them were many stone fragments that looked very strange.

Roar!

A monster appeared, suddenly blocking Ye Chen's path.

【Stone Gargoyle】 Rank: LV7 Skill: Petrification Combat Power: 800 HP: 4000 Talent: Single-Eye Curse (Not Awakened)

Note: The Stone Gargoyle has a single eye on its forehead that can release an evil light; those illuminated by this evil light will forever become slaves to the Stone Gargoyle.

The Stone Gargoyle stood about two and a half meters tall and resembled a statue in its entirety.

However, its whole body exuded an eerie aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Its face was sculpted with a bird-like visage and a hooked nose.

Its mouth stretched to its ear roots; it had no tongue, but it held a stone bead in its mouth.

"Blood Asura!" "Attack!"

Ye Chen didn't hesitate at all and directly commanded Blood Asura to attack.

Swoosh!

Growing braver with every battle, Blood Asura's Qi and blood were still boiling; it was a born warrior.

The Asura race was born for battle.

The Thunderclap Blade in its hands could unleash even greater power.

Slash!

It leaped up fiercely, using its body as an axis, and began to spin, the Thunderclap Blade whirling like a wheel as it struck down violently.

Critical Strike.

Blood Asura activated its skill, the blade descending like a mountain, slashing directly onto the Stone Gargoyle's body.

Bang!

In Ye Chen's eyes, he didn't see a health bar decrease; instead, he saw a spark.

The Thunderclap Blade in Blood Asura's hand was actually petrified, and the effect quickly spread to the hilt; if Blood Asura didn't let go, its own body would also be petrified.

"How do I fight this?"

Releasing the Thunderclap Blade, Blood Asura quickly dodged, simultaneously closing in to strike with both fists.

Critical Strike.

Bang!

It pulled back immediately upon contact, fearing its fists would be petrified.

Clatter.

The Thunderclap Blade fell to the ground; because it was a System product of a decent Rank, it didn't shatter into pieces.

Between monsters and pets, some skills countered each other.

When encountering such a situation, one must rely on team combat.

"We'll help you." "Don't get close to it, have your pet move away first."

Just as Ye Chen was preparing to summon the Alchemist, two people ran over from not far away.

A man and a woman.

The man was a fatty, one meter seventy-five tall, weighing about 200 jin.

Behind him followed a pig.

That's right. A Piggy Dragon, Divine-Grade 5.

A pig's head and a dinosaur's body. Its legs were strong and powerful, and its claws were very sharp.

The pig head opened its mouth, revealing a flash of blood-red light. It stood only about a meter tall, with a body length of two point five to six meters.

Hmph hmph. The Piggy Dragon made a sound like thunder.

It was very fast; it jumped directly past the fatty, arrived behind the Stone Gargoyle, and slammed into it violently.

The girl was wearing casual clothes, with a long braid tied up into a bun. On her feet were a pair of white running shoes, decorated with some small diamonds.

In front of her was a Beauty Snake; her upper body was that of a woman wearing soft armor and holding a long whip, while her lower body was that of a snake covered in purple scales.

She moved silently, with lightning speed. A Beauty Snake. Legendary Rank 4.

Ye Chen ordered Blood Asura to step back two paces and jump out of the combat circle first.

Since someone was helping, why not take advantage of it?

The Stone Gargoyle before him was indeed a bit difficult to deal with, unless he summoned all three pets.

Bang! The Piggy Dragon was strong and robust; although it was only Rank 2, the force of this collision was immense.

The Stone Gargoyle was ambushed from behind and stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

The Beauty Snake took the opportunity to act, opening her mouth to spray a stream of venom onto the Stone Gargoyle's body.

Visible to the naked eye, the Stone Gargoyle's body began to slowly corrode.

Crack! The Stone Gargoyle ignored its own body and turned to look at the Piggy Dragon.

Suddenly, an eye appeared on its forehead.

At the same time, it jumped up slightly, and upon landing on the ground, the earth was visibly petrified, spreading rapidly in all directions.

Just as the Piggy Dragon was about to be petrified, it opened its mouth, and a red light appeared, instantly enveloping the area within a two-meter radius.

The range of the red light perfectly covered the Stone Gargoyle's petrification skill.

Hmm? Ye Chen's eyes widened sharply, revealing a hint of shock; this Piggy Dragon looked clumsy and dim-witted, yet its ability was actually this powerful.
