20: Nightmare Beast

At this moment, Li Qingqian and Yang Guhong, hearing that Xun Xiuyuan was going to enter the sixth-tier territory, exchanged glances.

"If this sixth-tier Spirit Condensing Beast doesn't have any special skills, I should be able to handle two at once," Li Qingqian said from the side.

Xie Nanqiao looked at Li Qingqian in surprise, "You're going in too? Does your attendant agree?"

Li Qingqian ignored Xie Nanqiao and looked at Xun Xiuyuan.

"I can too!"

A weak voice rang out; it was Yang Guhong, who had been standing to the side, completely unnoticed.

Xie Nanqiao was stunned, "You can do what?"

"I can also fight two," Yang Guhong said.

"You're going in too?"

"I want to go in and see. Next year I'll be 20, and I won't be able to enter anymore." Yang Guhong's reason was quite peculiar.

Immediately, the people from the same family who were accompanying the three erupted in chatter.

"Miss Qingqian, you absolutely cannot go in. No one who has gone in has come out yet. The main thing is that 500 exotic beasts are too many; how could just a few of you possibly kill them all?"

"Brother Guhong, Uncle said that once you finish the fifth-tier, you can go back. Don't take risks."

"Miss Nan Qiao, if you go in, we'll follow you in."

Xun Xiuyuan listened to the chaotic chatter, shrugged his shoulders at the three, shook his head, and walked back to the side of the Lu Family Five Brothers.

"What are you five planning?"

"We, of course, are going back to wait. The exotic beasts in there are sixth-tier. Although all five of us are peak fifth-grade, facing sixth-tier pressure is still very great."

"If you five can protect yourselves, you can also go in, but don't stray too far from me."

"The five of us have practiced a Five Elements Formation since childhood. Fighting a sixth-tier exotic beast one-on-one would definitely be stressful, but self-preservation is not a big problem. If we use the formation to attack one or two at a time, it's quite safe."

"Alright then, you five can come in with me. Sixth-tier exotic beasts don't pose much of a threat to me."

While Xun Xiuyuan was discussing with the Lu Family Five Brothers, Li Qingqian, Xie Nanqiao, and Yang Guhong had already made their decisions.

The three walked together towards Xun Xiuyuan, and Xie Nanqiao spoke, "We've decided to go in. If an accident truly occurs, and Brother Xun can return safely, please bring our remains back."

Xie Nanqiao spoke very seriously.

Xun Xiuyuan smiled, "Beautiful women like you don't die so easily."

For Xun Xiuyuan, after all, fighting together meant comrades, and if they were comrades, he wouldn't refuse to help when they were in trouble.

With his help, their chances of survival were still very high, but Xun Xiuyuan couldn't make such a guarantee right now.

Xun Xiuyuan took out Ding Guang, put on his qiankun battle armor, and his upper body and head were encased in black and purple armor.

Li Qingqian and the other two, along with the Lu Family Five Brothers, followed behind.

The other dozens of people from the Abyss families were still hesitant, as the probability of death was too high.

Xun Xiuyuan strode towards the mountain peak, and after a few steps, he vanished into thin air, clearly having entered the territory of the sixth-tier Spirit Condensing Beast.

As soon as he entered, Xun Xiuyuan shivered, a chill piercing straight to his soul.

He looked up to see a world of ice and snow, a vast expanse of white.

At the same time, a large number of ice-blue exotic beasts, strangely shaped, appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

They looked a bit like dogs, and also a bit like lions, as if they were patched together from several different exotic beasts.

He used a detection skill.

Sixth-tier Soul Beast Nightmare Beast:

Characteristics: Powerful mental strength, capable of creating illusions. If a person with mental strength below 20 fights it, they are easily trapped in its illusions and cannot break free.

Weakness: Weak physical attack power.

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the description: This is a typical mental-type exotic beast. A mental strength of 20 poses little threat to him.

At this moment, Xun Xiuyuan was still some distance from the Nightmare Beasts and had not been attacked.

By now, the eight people behind him had also entered, and they looked at the unmoving Xun Xiuyuan with some confusion.

Because Xun Xiuyuan's fighting style was to charge in and cut through enemies like slicing vegetables, this moment of hesitation instantly made the eight lose their composure.

It was Xie Nanqiao again, "What's wrong, handsome? Did you find anything unusual?"

"Nothing, I was just waiting for you."

"Waiting for us?"

"These Spirit Condensing Beasts are mental-type exotic beasts; their physical attacks aren't very effective. Just letting you know."

Upon hearing this, Xie Nanqiao was overjoyed, "Really?"

As she spoke, she took out the jade pendant she wore close to her chest.

Xun Xiuyuan watched Xie Nanqiao's movements; that jade pendant, damn, it was quite fortunate.

"This was given to me by my father before I came, he said it can resist mental attacks below ninth-grade. Everyone gather around me, and illusions and the like will dissipate on their own," Xie Nanqiao said excitedly.

Then, she turned to Xun Xiuyuan, "Handsome, come join us!"

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the lively Xie Nanqiao and smiled slightly, "I don't need to. You all protect yourselves."

After speaking, he charged into the group of sixth-tier Nightmare Beasts, still cutting through them like slicing vegetables, with little difference from the previous stages.

Li Qingqian looked at Xun Xiuyuan's figure with a lingering gaze, "It seems he really was waiting for us."

Xie Nanqiao also watched Xun Xiuyuan with wide eyes, then shook her head and said, "Let's start too. He's a pervert; there's nothing more to say."

Subsequently, the eight-person group formulated a battle plan: the Lu Family Five Brothers set up their formation, Xie Nanqiao lured the monsters, four at a time, and they jointly killed them.

At this moment, Xun Xiuyuan was already killing relentlessly, and the system's "ding-dong" sounds were incessant.

Ding-dong!

Killed a sixth-tier Soul Beast Nightmare Beast, gained 20,000 exotic beast value.

Gained +1 lottery draw chance.

The Nightmare Beasts' bodies were slightly tougher than ordinary exotic beasts. To speed up the monster killing, Xun Xiuyuan directly activated the Explosive Ignition Art combined with his stamina recovery skill.

The Berserk Blade Technique was wielded impenetrably, combined with Mystic Steps, he slaughtered them madly.

The eight-person group also gained more experience as they fought, getting faster and faster. Now, they were pulling as many as eight Nightmare Beasts at a time.

Although the Nightmare Beasts continuously released mental illusion attacks, they were completely useless against the eight-person group protected by the jade pendant.

However, illusion-type attacks were also largely ineffective against Xun Xiuyuan. Xun Xiuyuan's willpower was firm; after a few moments of mental disorientation, he would shake his head, and the illusions would vanish.

After killing nearly 400 Nightmare Beasts, the remaining Nightmare Beasts in the area were few and far between, and quite scattered.

Seeing the diligent eight-person team, Xun Xiuyuan no longer rushed to steal kills.

Instead, he sat cross-legged to organize his gains.
