The morning at Death Report Ridge is always shrouded in fog, with the air filled with particles resembling post-explosion dust.
Xu Shu and his group departed from the grand cathedral, taking a route heading west, where only in a few spots could they see glimpses of not-so-bright sunlight.
Most of the ti, visibility was highly limited, sotis spanning a re one or two hundred ters, other tis just dozens, and in so extre areas, even as close as to the point where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
Traveling through such a place is quite a test of courage and luck.
After all, you never know if the next misty corner harbors strange creatures lying in ambush.
Fortunately, the team had Ning Xin, the "Butcher."
After leaving that eerie cathedral, the "Rogue’s" bloodthirsty ability was finally freed from restriction, allowing for fearless and bold danger sensing.
Thus, even in the fog-covered area, under Ning Xin’s lead, the group maintained swift speed, while following Xie Xiaochan’s provided map for a stable journey, adjusting positions occasionally to avoid areas suspected of uncontrollable dangers.
This kept their advancent relatively safe, encountering only a ager twenty-odd attacks over a continuous hour or two of travel—naturally occurring under Ning Xin’s intention of hunting by allowing weaker adversaries to draw near.
The monsters looked abstract; dwarfs with gigantic bird beaks, children seemingly reassembled after being incinerated, clusters of bloody nurses with grotesquely twisty faces yet alluring figures, and what at a distance appeared a chamber pot but was actually a "jumping sli" with two conjoined baby faces.
It’s often said beauty is singular, while ugliness varies, reflecting the eerie beings lurking in Death Report Ridge that are all sowhere between human and non-human, and impressively grotesque.
Their strength wasn’t formidable, the strongest fitting the category of second-order monsters, and the weakest barely reaching first-order, like those nurses.
Yet, their numbers weren’t scarce, like a peculiar street gang from a certain era, appearing in swarms, posing a considerable threat to ordinary exploration teams.
However, to Xu Shu’s group, even Yan Shan—the weakest among them—could crush these monsters with a single slap.
In essence, their appearance was almost like delivering themselves for slaughter, ultimately suffering from lacking "Rogue."
This showcases that the ability "Bloodthirsty," whether for humans or monsters, is truly comparable to a divine skill.
There are indeed nurous monster types, possessing an instinctive danger sense like "Rogue," which, though not as exaggerated, can significantly diminish instances of overconfident failures.
Obviously, those attacking definitely lacked such abilities—the sexy nurse monster that Xu Shu personally eliminated could have a lot to say about regretting its imprudent approach.
Throughout this, Xu Shu noticed so intriguing patterns.
The monsters appearing during the day, upon death, all yielded Erosion Crystals, displaying comndable social responsibility, deserving the "truthful" label.
Although re dozens of first and second-order monster crystals wouldn’t even suffice as a toothpick for Xu Shu’s group, compared to those only leaving a handful of ash upon demise like "Simulacrum," they truly exemplified a kind heart.
The Tai Chu volu provided a brief comntary and count regarding this:
[You volunteered, setting your teammates aside, and dragged 28 native species (nurse variants) into a dark subway passage, slaying them all.]
[Ignoring beauties who might have quietly admired you, harbored feelings, or shared a fleeting romance, you sohow chose to handle these grotesque, unsettling monsters indiscriminately—it’s truly unconscionable of you!]
[But you considered this as defying fate? Don’t dream of it—impossible, unless you tackle Teacher Pan in front of Gu Yue Ming and Xie Xiaochan—that would truly impress, like rivers running of blood! Tai Chu volu wants a massacre!]
"Tsk... Native species?"
"What kind of description is this?"
"Could there be hybrid species?"
"These details aren’t detailed enough... I’ve gone so deep in understanding, yet it still can’t provide sufficiently useful information."
Xu Shu ignored Tai Chu volu’s ridicule, thoughtfully rubbing his chin.
He crouched down, silently extracting crystal pieces from the scattered corpses of the nurse monsters.
monsters only produced 25 crystals, as three were rely "premature cannon fodder" despite having flesh and blood, yet upon dying left nothing behind.
This knowledge is foundational in the Extraordinary World: if a monster’s initial crystal wasn’t sufficiently matured before death, it wouldn’t condense posthumously.
"Damn it, does this world not have a juvenile monster protection law? I’ll find a place to lodge a complaint!"
Xu Shu angrily wiped the crystals cleanly, pocketed them.
Preparing to leave, the location to join others exterminating baby-face monsters, a faint scream echoed from deeper within the passage.
"Is there another situation?"
After brief contemplation, Xu Shu took cautious asures; his "Yin God" exited, leaving his body at the spot, floating as Yin Spirit to investigate.
