Chapter 59: Points Soar
"Well, a staff isn't suitable for melee attacks, so I switched to chains," Ye Chuxue said after thinking for a while, offering a reason.
Song Wanning nodded after listening. She also felt that Ye Chuxue made sense. After all, few people use chain weapons, and chains can be used not only in close combat but also as ranged weapons.
"Let's go then," Song Wanning said.
Ye Chuxue nodded, then drew a curved sword from her waist. The blade of the sword gleamed with a cold light and looked extremely sharp.
Besides its own beast core, the Frostfang Bear also possesses a pair of teeth that can be forged into weapons.
After collecting all the valuables from the giant bear, Ye Chuxue and Song Wanning continued deeper into the wilderness.
The wilderness area consists of two parts: one part is primeval forest, and the other part is abandoned cities conquered by monsters. These abandoned cities were once human settlements, but now they have been overrun by monsters and turned into ruins.
Wilderness Zone 7 is such a place, where the buildings and roads have been destroyed beyond recognition, leaving only ruins and broken streets.
Ye Chuxue and Song Wanning cautiously entered Wasteland Zone No. 7, observing their surroundings warily. As they ventured deeper, the scenery gradually became clearer.
The two cautiously entered the city, where a decaying atmosphere permeated the air.
In the ruins, the former streets and buildings are faintly visible, as if they were ancient relics forgotten by time.
The houses on both sides of the street were dilapidated, with collapsed walls and roofs, exposing rotten wooden beams and broken tiles inside.
The streets were covered with broken bricks and rubble, and weeds grew tenaciously from the cracks, adding a touch of life to this desolate scene.
Abandoned vehicles lay haphazardly by the roadside, their wheels long since flattened and their bodies covered in rust, as if telling a story of past prosperity.
The distant skyscrapers have lost their former glory, with peeling exterior walls, shattered glass, and exposed steel bars, swaying precariously in the wind.
The entire city was permeated with an air of decay, like a giant tomb abandoned by time.
Suddenly, a huge lizard burst out of the shadows, its gaping maw agape, and lunged straight at Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue reacted quickly, immediately swinging the chain in her hand to tightly wrap around the lizard's neck, and then pulling hard, throwing it aside.
Immediately afterwards, one end of the chain shot out like an arrow, easily piercing the lizard's body.
"Slay the Fanged Lizard and earn 3,000 points."
"It seems there are quite a few magical beasts here," Ye Chuxue said calmly, pulling out a spike.
"Then let's get started."
The Seventh Wilderness Area is vast and inhabited by a large number of magical beasts.
A rough estimate suggests there are no fewer than a thousand magical beasts here.
Moreover, these magical beasts were even more brutal and bloodthirsty. As soon as they stepped into this area, the two heard the roars and howls of magical beasts coming from afar.
Although the sound was distant, it was powerful and full of energy.
"It's at least a Grandmaster-level magical beast," Song Wanning said seriously.
The higher a monster's cultivation level, the higher its intelligence will be.
When they grow to the Grandmaster level, their intelligence level is close to that of a human child of about ten years old. They know how to protect their territory and use roars from time to time to show that this is their domain.
If any other magical beasts dare to trespass, a master-level magical beast will drive them out without mercy.
Song Wanning gently instructed, "We can begin our training now, but we must be careful. We should first target those magical beasts that act alone, and keep our movements as small as possible to avoid attracting attacks from other magical beasts."
Ye Chuxue nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
"Successfully killed the Crimson Flame Tiger, gaining 5,000 points!"
"Successfully killed the Shadowmoon Wolf, gaining 2,000 points!"
"Successfully defeated the Rock Armored Beast, earning 8,000 points!"
……
Time flies by, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
In Wilderness Area 7, a team of six members is slowly walking down the street.
They continued along the road, but failed to encounter a single magical beast. This unusual situation puzzled the entire squad.
Finally, one of the team members couldn't help but ask, "It's really strange. How come we haven't seen a single monster along the way?"
“Yes, logically speaking, there should be quite a few magical beasts here,” another person chimed in.
Upon hearing this, the other members of the team nodded in agreement. They had originally expected to encounter more magical beasts here, but the reality was quite different from their expectations.
One of them frowned and said thoughtfully, "Could something have happened?" He glanced around, as if trying to find the answer.
The others also sensed something was amiss and began to carefully observe their surroundings, trying to find some clues. They noticed that although the surrounding buildings were dilapidated, there were no obvious signs of fighting or other unusual occurrences.
"We'd better be careful; there might be some danger waiting for us," the squad leader warned. He knew that staying vigilant was crucial in this situation.
So the team members became more vigilant and continued to move forward cautiously. Everyone was fully focused on their surroundings, watching for any possible threats.
Just then, a rock-armored beast suddenly rushed out of an abandoned building. This rock-armored beast was huge, covered in hard rock armor, and looked extremely ferocious.
"Look, it's a Rock Armor Beast!" one of the team members shouted excitedly.
We've finally encountered our first monster!
The squad leader's face lit up with joy, and he waved his hand, "Everyone, attack together! Kill it!" He knew that the Rock Armor Beast was quite valuable and could be exchanged for a lot of rewards.
Everyone was particularly eager for their first prey of the day. The team member wielding the large knife, in particular, was eager to demonstrate his skills.
He caught up with the rock-armored beast in a few steps and was about to charge at it.
boom!
A crystal-clear ice spike flew out of Chen Yuan's hand at an extremely fast speed.
With a loud boom, the ice spike struck the rock-armored beast in front of it like a cannonball!
The moment it struck, a powerful burst of cold air erupted, and a cloud of white mist instantly rose from the ground.
As the white mist dissipated, the Rock Armor Beast had vanished from its original spot, leaving only a giant ice flower in its place.
This ice flower is enormous, with a diameter of about twenty meters, several times larger than an adult elephant.
"Oh my god!"
The team member closest to Arm-Blade Tiger was so frightened that his hand trembled, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.
Looking at the ice flower in front of him, the team member felt a lingering fear.
If he had taken just one more step forward, the petals of that ice flower would have pierced him directly!
The remaining team members were also shocked by the scene before them, their eyes wide with disbelief.
One of the team members, trembling, asked the team leader, "Captain, what kind of new weapon is this? How is it so powerful?"
