In the early morning of the next day, the sky looked entirely blue and cloudless, and the sun hung high, shining a round of dazzling rays of light, sparkling a bright luster that flowed across the earth. The wilderness was scorching and humid, and the sounds of birds, insects, and wild beasts kept coming and going, making it lively.

Xiao Yu led more than forty elite mbers out of the cave, trekking in the jungle for over half an hour. After walking in the humid and hot woods for a while, everyone beca soaked from the forest dew, looking like they had just been fished out of the water. This particular expedition had been one of the smoothest, if not the best, for the group. Probably due to the recurring passing of ogre monsters, forcing the surrounding beasts to flee for their lives, they encountered no monster attacks on the way. As a result, they arrived at the zombie coal mine area without any incidents.
The forest was tranquil. A few small black coal mounds stood silently in front of the dilapidated mine, surrounded by sporadic weeds, possibly because even weak beasts were reluctant to feed on them. Most of the zombies killed at the beginning were still festering on the ground in front of the mine, as many disgusting maggots had already been bred from them. A few carrion-eating birds were pecking at the corpses, and occasionally, when a zombie passed by, they flapped their wings and shrieked before flying away in fear.
Han Kexin mused as she surveyed the zombies wandering around the entrance of the mine from a distance, showing a sowhat stunned and puzzled expression, Strange; I rember that when we left last ti, the zombies outside were basically all cleared out, but now their numbers seem to have increased again.
Upon noticing this, Wang Chao intervened, saying, Boss, this world shouldnt be entirely similar to a ga, right? Where monsters will always respawn?!
Nonsense, of course not. Xiao Yu carefully looked up at the zombies and slowly spoke: they all ca out from the mine. The majority of the undead wandering around at that ti were zero-order rotten zombies, while most of the monsters over here are essentially all zombie miners; and the two others over there are chained zombies, which are stronger elentary monsters.
This big fat guy is so dumb; his brain is like a vase, and he only asks silly questions, its best if we ignore him. Jiang Xiaowen repeatedly nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice before changing her tone of voice, as she said: However, Xiao Yu, your eyes are so sharp. You can actually still see everything from such a distance.
Jin Shi patted him on the shoulders and said, Fatty, you should try and say a few words less.
Wang Chao shrugged his shoulders, ignoring Jiang Xiaowens sarcasm.
Xiao Yu turned his head and said to Yunyun, Is it possible for you to shoot a zombies leg at a distance of 100 ters?
Yun Yun felt nervous as those deep-black eyes stared back at her, yet she was very clear about her archery skills, so she said with little confidence, II can try.
It doesnt matter, Xiao Yu continued, you can practice your archery slowly; today, you will be entrusted with attracting the monsters.
Yunyun nodded and took an arrow from her quiver before walking forward on her own. When she got to a certain distance, she set the arrow, drew the bowstring back, and aid at the leg of a wobbly and staggering zombie miner. The arrow in her hand burst into flas, and as soon as she let go of the bowstring, the arrow completely turned into a flaming projectile and flew out. It did, however, miss the target by at least five to six ters. The arrow pierced the ground and was instantly devoured by the blaze of fire, turning into a heap of ashes. She blushed and quickly drew another arrow and shot it, but it also missed. When the third arrow was fired, it finally struck the zombie miner in the leg.
The zombie miner groaned strangely and limped towards her, its decaying hands clutching a pickaxe. The monster was slow, to begin with, and now that it had been hit in the leg by an arrow, with the flas scorching a significant portion of its lower limbs, it beca even slower.
Seeing the zombie approaching, Xiao Yu sent a person from the team with late zero-order strength, We will not assist you; you must rely solely on your strength to defeat it. If you fail, you will not be given a second chance. Unfortunately, this also ans you will miss an important opportunity to advance to the elentary realm.
Got it.
The guy was especially respectful toward Xiao Yu. He quickly responded, gripping a goblins short spear in both hands, and rushed up to engage the charging monster. The zombie moved very slowly, but thanks to its tough body, it was difficult to hurt or kill with ordinary weapons, and it took him a lot of effort to finally knock it down and kill it with a spear stab after battling for half an hour straight. He then directly absorbed the essence through his forehead as his strength entered the peak of the zero-order level.
Yunyun took up the bow and arrows from her quiver to draw the monsters back in and fired her shots before directing the remaining team mbers to defeat the aggregated creatures.
This battle was not only intended to be a round of training for Yun Yuns archery, it also was ant to hone everyones combat skills, since the speed of these elentary zombies was neither fast nor slow, and they were constantly moving around randomly, making them undoubtedly one of the best moving targets. In addition, they were unresponsive and had a poor perception of their surroundings. Therefore, Yunyun could assertively shoot arrows and draw them in. The movents of zombie miners were relatively stiff, and their attack patterns were not particularly sharp, which made them more of a good combat practice for others as well.
It took everyone an entire morning to clear out all the zombie miners wandering around the mine. However, most of the group mbers completed their battles successfully, and four individuals even advanced to the elentary realm. Unfortunately, they all developed average common talents. The good thing, though, was that Yunyuns archery skills had clearly improved after a whole morning of practice.
After that intense battle, everyone decided to take a break and eat so food to regain their energy. The lunch consisted of two pieces of bread, a can of luncheon at, and a bottle of water. Everyone had about the sa al, including Xiao Yu. After lunch, they sat down and rested for a while before making their back way into the mine.
Trekking through the dark coal mine, people would hardly see their own fingers. Han Kexins bunch, with their exceptional physiques, were fine, but the others would be powerless over here. Xiao Yu assud the role of exploring the mine to attract zombies thanks to his practical ability to see through the darkness. Not long after heading deep into the dark and dim coal mine, he found a chained zombie wandering by. He imdiately attracted its attention before cutting off one of its legs, forcing it out. The chained zombie was relatively strong; hence, this ti around, two people were arranged to deal with it simultaneously, and after a fierce fight, the two successfully killed the monster.
The group then repeated this consecutive action six to seven tis in a row, allowing three people to advance smoothly.
Xiao Yu entered the coal mine for the eighth ti, but the number of zombies there beca much more scarce than before. He walked in deeper than ever till the point where the air was becoming foggy and blurry, and it was almost difficult to breathe in, yet he still didnt see a single zombie in sight. Nevertheless, he had a dangerous sense of foreboding in his heart that if he continued in this way, he might finally co across that mighty existence.
The surrounding terrain gradually changed. There was more and more black coal, and the passage narrowed down while the traces of man-made construction ceased to exist. Now, it looked more like a natural cave than a mine.
The mine is connected to an underground space, and there are undead creatures over there. Was this the reason? Xiao Yu broke a lump of black coal from the wall, only, the terrain here is really strange.
At this mont, several roars loudly echoed from the darkness up ahead.
Although the voice was not loud, it was filled with terrifying killing intent. Xiao Yus hair stood on end as if soone had poured a bucket of cold water on his back, and his heart began to beat a little faster. The luminous beast blade in his hand suddenly burst into a cyan light, and he took a few steps forward.
Then as fast as lightning, a pale bone arrow shot out from the front!
Xiao Yu walked forward without blinking his eyes. He, who had seen through the attack trajectory long ago, just tilted his head calmly, and the bone arrow missed its target by a hairs breadth and directly plunged into the hard rock wall behind him. Half of the arrows body sank into the wall, and nurous cracks appeared on the surrounding stones.
Four skeletons appeared in his line of sight. Their bones were large and complete, with a green light gleaming in their eye sockets and a pale bone bow grasped with their crackling hands.
These were skeleton archers, monsters with peak elentary strength, not enough to threaten Xiao Yu. The creepy roars he had heard previously ca from a container that resembled a coffin standing amidst the four skeleton archers. The container itself appeared to be part of so exotic wild plant, with a swath of purple leaves wrapping around it and a purple fruit hanging in the middle as vines climbed all around.
Suddenly an arm stretched out from the coffin. The arm was thick, covered with purple-red hair, and its nails were long and sharp, glowing coldly.
Xiao Yus expression changed, So the poisonous zombie was actually here!
The four skeleton archers all pulled the strings of their bone bows at the sa ti before a strands of white mist gradually gathered all around the strings, quickly turning into four pale bone arrows, and the arrows were instantly shot out of the bows the mont they let go of their hands.
Bullet ti!
The pupils of Xiao Yus eyes shrank suddenly, and the four arrows that had already left their strings abruptly stopped in the air, moving slowly at a speed similar to a snails. Right then, Xiao Yu sprang up with his blade, the weapons energy light flashed continuously, and the arms of the skeleton archers, as well as their bone bows, all shattered almost imdiately by a cyan streak of light. The coffin in the middle shook for a while, and a burly body rushed out.
In the blink of an eye, a dense purple-red mist surged out, covering almost the entirety of the area.
This is the poisonous fog! In such a small space, I wont be able to hold on!
Just as Xiao Yu covered his mouth, a nimble claw grabbed straight toward his face. He swung his blade to block it, then turned around and ran away. The powerful poisonous zombie stalked him like a ghost and closed in quickly.
In front of the mine, Han Kexin and others were standing more than 200 ters away and waiting. Unfortunately, Xiao Yus excursion this ti was taking too long. Still, just as everyone was wondering when he would return, suddenly, they felt the ground around them vibrating slightly. Then there was a bang noise in the surroundings as a large amount of strange purple-red fog spewed out from the mine entrance, among which were two figures chasing one another at extre speed.
This is the poisonous zombie, a first-order monster; all of you, back away!
Xiao Yu yelled and dashed into the forest as the poisonous zombie followed him. The monster was shrouded in a thick poisonous fog, rendering it impossible to see its true form. It just left behind a trail of poisonous fog wherever it went. As a result, the grass and vegetation withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the insects and small animals died on the spot.
Jiang Xiaowens pretty face suddenly changed, and she exclaid loudly: What a scary zombie!
Everyone be careful. Han Kexin reminded loudly: So things are coming out!
Four pale skeletons rushed out of the mine through the poisonous fog. They were the skeleton archers whose arms and weapons were cut off by Xiao Yu. But even though they lost their right hand and weapons, they were still fierce. Seeing that Xiao Yu had run away, they quickly rushed to kill everyone else.
The skeleton archers left arm struck a person who had just entered the elentary level. The short spear in his hand broke apart imdiately, and the impact sent him flying four to five ters back, seriously injuring him.
No one dared to underestimate these guys anymore. Wang Chao went berserk for the first ti in this battle and engaged a skeleton archer head-on. Everyone else also did not dare to be careless and flocked up to fight these four peak of elentary level monsters.
Han Kexin ordered loudly: All zero-order mbers retreat; everyone else entangle them!
The body of the skeleton archer was as hard as steel. People below the elentary level would need a magic weapon in hand. Otherwise, they cant harm it. Even those who had just entered the elentary level were not much of a help. Only the few who had entered the elentary level for a while and only those with proper equipnt could harm the monsters.
