"Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. I'm just a messenger, responsible for delivering the notice to you. Whether you go or not is your decision. I don't have time to waste here with you." Hearing how anxious Cat Angel was, everyone started to believe him. Otherwise, Liu Ziming wouldn't have sent Cat Angel back.
"Everyone, stop standing around and get moving! Pack your bags quickly and head to the Monster Forest, or that Liu Ziming guy will have disappeared again!"
It has to be said that Senior Giant Ape is now very curious about Liu Ziming's thoughts. He quickly persuaded everyone to go to the Monster Forest, wanting to know why Liu Ziming would make such a choice. "If you guys want to go, you'd better hurry up. I'm only giving you 5 minutes, otherwise I won't have time to wait for you." Hearing Senior Giant Ape persuade these guys to come to the Monster Forest with him, Cat Angel's expression was very smug.
Because he not only completed the task assigned to him by Liu Ziming, but also raised his own status, which really meant that his position rose with the tide.
"Why hasn't this guy come back after so long? Are those guys unwilling to come here? Or did the Cat Angel never go back to convey her message?" Liu Ziming, still in his spider form, lazily perched on a branch, looking utterly bored, staring at the dark, magical forest, lost in thought. (Requesting flowers.)
"Liu Ziming, Liu Ziming, where have you run off to again, you big jerk? I've brought everyone here. What are your plans and ideas? Tell us about them!"
When the cat angel led everyone to the Monster Forest, he really didn't expect that Liu Ziming had disappeared again. He wasn't in the same place as before, and his face looked very anxious.
Because if they can't find Liu Ziming here, everyone will definitely think he's deceiving them, and they might do something outrageous. After all, the name "Monster Forest" sounds terrifying.
"Ahem, you guys are moving way too slowly. Even a snail is much faster than you. Do you have some other ideas?"
To everyone's utter surprise, Liu Ziming, who was perched on a tree branch, suddenly spat out a silken thread that dangled down from the branch, startling everyone. "My God, what the hell is that? It's pitch black and it just landed right on my neck! Is it trying to kill me?"
Slime Mirror never expected that upon arriving in the Monster Forest and hearing Liu Ziming's voice, a dark creature would land on its neck, startling it and making it look extremely disgusted.
With a sharp crack, Slime Mirror slapped the back of his neck without hesitation. He hadn't expected Liu Ziming to have already left, as Liu Ziming had anticipated Slime's actions. "Haha, just a little joke, everyone. But this Monster Forest is truly a wonderful place for you, practically paradise!"
Hearing Liu Ziming's excited appearance, everyone was a little confused. The name "Monster Forest" sounded terrifying. Who knew how many high-level monsters were hidden inside? It was more like heaven or hell, right?
"Liu Ziming, what nonsense are you talking about? This is the Monster Forest. Doing this will definitely attract a large number of monsters!"
Chapter 319 Improving Abilities is as Easy as Drinking Water
After all, among everyone's strength, Seven-Colored Deer's strength was the lowest, so he seemed very worried and spoke up directly.
But he never expected that when he finished speaking, everyone would look at him with disdain, as if he were looking down on him. "Haha, I'm afraid this place is just scary in name only; there probably aren't many magical beasts here?"
The Slime Mirror carefully sensed its surroundings. Feeling there was no major danger, it spoke up, its eyes fixed on Liu Ziming, who looked quite displeased—after all, Liu Ziming had just given it a fright. "Haha, you people are really ignorant! This is the Monster Forest, full of unknown dangers, and the monsters' levels keep increasing. You guys are truly utterly clueless!" "167"
Seeing Liu Ziming laughing out loud, everyone looked puzzled. Could it be that the Monster Forest was really as he described? Their faces were filled with confusion.
If it's really as this guy says, wouldn't their arrival here be fraught with danger? Has this guy gone mad? Or is he brainless, doing something so bizarre? "Liu Ziming, you bastard, since there are so many dangers in the Monster Forest this time, why did you gather everyone here? Have you lost your mind?" It has to be said that Slime Mirror is already furious. If Liu Ziming dares to do anything else outrageous, he will definitely explode instantly.
Liu Ziming seemed unconcerned about the Slime Mirror and the others' lack of understanding, because he felt that if these guys discovered that improving their abilities in this Monster Forest was as easy as drinking water, they would probably go completely insane.
"Haha, maybe I wasn't clear enough. There are indeed many magical beasts and some unknown dangers in the Monster Forest. The magical beasts on the outer perimeter are of lower level, and the closer you get to the core, the higher the level of the magical beasts. But there is also a huge advantage, which is that if we keep killing these magical beasts, our own abilities will be instantly improved. If you don't believe me, you can try to sense them carefully."
If it's within their own capabilities, that's fantastic! It's like a windfall! Why are they so excited?
However, this was only done by Liu Ziming; they hadn't experienced it themselves, so everyone seemed very cautious. After all, this was the Monster Forest! "Heh, seeing how naive you guys are, it's really quite funny."
Just as everyone was filled with doubt, the cat angel suddenly burst into laughter, letting out a silvery laugh, as if it looked down on everyone.
He hadn't expected the Monster Forest to be such a wondrous place. If he hadn't experienced it firsthand, he would never have believed he'd killed a seventh-tier monster, the Azure Wolf. "Cat Angel, have you lost your mind? How could you say such things?"
Everyone was very familiar with Cat Angel, but he had never acted like this before. Had his personality changed since arriving in the Monster Forest? Everyone seemed very confused. "Haha, look at all those things on the ground! Don't you find them strange? And if you see my speed, your jaws will probably drop!" Now that Cat Angel had enhanced his abilities, he felt there was no need to hide anything and had to show off in front of everyone, otherwise these guys wouldn't believe him.
Before anyone could react, the cat angel instantly transformed into a giant spirit cat, moving with lightning speed and disappearing before everyone's eyes in a flash, looking incredibly powerful. "Holy crap, this guy can actually unleash such immense spiritual power in this place? He's really not to be underestimated!"
Actually, everyone is quite clear about the cat angel's abilities and behavior, but seeing his bizarre performance, everyone is a little unsettled. Could it be that what Liu Ziming said is true?
Actually, the cat angel did this not to help Liu Ziming, but simply to prove himself, and unexpectedly, it had the desired effect...
"Haha, this is wonderful! We can actually improve our strength in this Demon King's City and Monster Forest! This is fantastic!"
These guys never dreamed that they would accidentally enter a game instance and actually get the opportunity to improve their abilities. How could they not be excited?
Seeing their reactions, Liu Ziming smiled, a natural smile indeed. This was the result he wanted; after all, everyone improving their abilities was ultimately a good thing for him, especially since these guys were his companions. "Everyone, don't get so excited yet. I need to remind you all that while the monsters on the outskirts of the Monster Forest might be low-level, they're not so easy to deal with. We must be prepared and not let our guard down." Everyone quickly accepted Liu Ziming's warning. After all, he had gained some opportunities in the Monster Forest, so he was the most qualified to speak on the matter, and everyone seemed to trust him. "Okay, just tell us what you need. We'll all listen to you, is that alright?"
To everyone's surprise, the giant ape was the first to take the lead and express his thoughts, and his expression seemed particularly sincere, which puzzled everyone.
What exactly is Senior Giant Ape trying to do? Has Liu Ziming's amazing performance completely won him over? That doesn't seem likely.
Despite everyone's surprise and incomprehension, the Giant Ape seemed unconcerned. He walked directly to Liu Ziming, his expression solemn, and began to speak.
In fact, the Flame Dragon was also very interested in Liu Ziming's words. If this place could improve its cultivation, it would truly be a good thing.
Chapter 320 Is the system cheating?
Perhaps even Liu Ziming himself didn't know that while these people were improving their cultivation in the Monster Forest, his own abilities were also being enhanced, and he was even gaining their teleportation abilities. "Since the Monster Forest has such great benefits, should we still separate? That doesn't seem like a wise choice; it would be too dangerous!" The Seven-Colored Deer was now filled with curiosity about the Monster Forest. After all, it could enhance his cultivation; how could he not be excited?
However, he didn't want to be separated from everyone, since his strength was the lowest, and it would be troublesome if he encountered danger.
"Haha, that's a good suggestion. If we all stay together, we can fight together if we encounter danger. Maybe we can even use this place as our training ground?"
Liu Ziming had already considered the Seven-Colored Deer's suggestion. The reason he had the Cat Angel bring everyone here was not to let each person go out and kill those monsters on their own, but to let everyone stay together and work together.
28. Because Liu Ziming knew that the power of a group was limitless, and an individual within a group was merely a seed. But when these seeds sprouted together, their power was terrifying. "Haha, since no one has any objections, let's proceed as planned. After all, I'm getting a little impatient!"
To everyone's surprise, the usually composed giant ape was the first to speak, and he seemed particularly excited. Could it be that this old monkey had also developed a great interest in the Monster Forest?
Unless someone is an idiot who can improve their strength, who wouldn't be excited? Not just the Giant Ape, even the Flame Dragon was incredibly excited. "Haha, everyone, don't rush, the opportunity has arrived. If you're not prepared, you might really be kicking the bucket?"
Just as everyone was considering how to kill the magical beasts in the magical beast forest, they had no idea that the magical beast wolves that Liu Ziming had killed earlier had sent out a distress signal, and a large number of magical beast wolves were rushing to the scene.
Because Liu Ziming could clearly sense at least a thousand magical wolves, and they were all at the 7th level, which was no joke.
"Don't exaggerate. We just got here and you're already saying there's danger. How come you've been sleeping soundly all this time? It's a joke!"
It has to be said that Slime Mirror's thinking is rather peculiar. He was startled to see Liu Ziming fast asleep on a tree branch, so when he issued a danger signal, he seemed completely unconcerned.
"Hehe, don't be in a hurry. You'll soon see how brutal it is when thousands of seventh-tier magical beasts attack together. If you're not prepared, you'll definitely be torn to pieces and become their food. Do you want that to happen?"
After saying this, Liu Ziming completely ignored everyone's reactions and expressions, and with a whoosh, he returned to the tree, looking quite smug.
Seeing Liu Ziming's somewhat strange behavior, everyone's expressions changed. They felt that Liu Ziming wouldn't exaggerate; otherwise, why would he be up in a tree? "Everyone, you'd better get ready quickly, because I can already sense it. Don't any of you feel anything?"
The giant ape pressed its ears to the ground and carefully examined them for a while, its expression becoming very solemn, before speaking directly.
After all, the speed and noise of thousands of Tier 7 magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, running were quite loud. The Giant Ape Senior, lying on the ground, could clearly sense that those creatures were only a thousand meters away from them.
"Everyone get ready, at least a thousand wolves are running towards us, and they're less than a kilometer away!"
Upon hearing the giant ape's words, everyone's expression changed. After all, the giant ape was the king of the forest and was extremely familiar with everything here.
"Haha, this is really great! I just arrived at the edge of the Monster Forest and I actually encountered a seventh-tier monster, the Azure Wolf. Isn't this the greatest stroke of luck?"
To everyone's surprise, the Slime Mirror burst into laughter, seemingly quite pleased with itself. It's unclear whether the guy's head had been kicked by a donkey or if he was simply being misled.
These people weren't fools. They quickly found a hidden spot. They couldn't just sit here and wait to die; they had to find the best attack position. Only then could they fully guarantee their strength and kill more of the demonic wolves. "Awoooooo!"
Thousands of seventh-tier magical beasts, the grey wolves, howled incessantly, creating an eerie and terrifying atmosphere that made everyone feel a chill run down their spines. "Holy crap, it seems Liu Ziming really wasn't lying to us. If he hadn't given us a warning signal beforehand, we'd probably be in serious trouble this time!" Everyone's heart skipped a beat; after all, they had never seen such a massive gathering of thousands of grey wolves before.
"Hehe, everyone, don't worry too much. Although the 167th level seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, sounds terrifying, these guys have their weaknesses. As long as you hit its head, these guys will be completely dead!" Hearing that Liu Ziming had actually discovered the weakness of the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, everyone's face showed an excited expression. If that's really the case, it will be much simpler for them.
However, looking at the corridor of thousands of Tier 7 magical beasts in front of them, everyone put away their mischievous thoughts, after all, it would take too much energy to kill these guys.
"Haha, what are we waiting for? These guys are simply the best gift God has given us. If we can kill the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, our abilities might break through instantly?"
It has to be said, the Flame Dragon is truly bizarre. Faced with thousands of magical wolves, it showed absolutely no sign of retreating. Instead, it opened its massive maw and spewed countless flames at the seventh-tier magical wolves. "Awooo, awooo awooo!"
The massive fireball spewed by the Flame Dragon instantly turned dozens of monsters in the corridor into giant fireballs, rolling on the ground, their fur charred black, emitting agonizing howls.
Chapter 321 An Overwhelming Stream of System Rewards
"Haha, these guys will soon become barbecue delicacies. If you don't mind, you can eat some. Maybe they'll taste delicious?" No one expected that, not even the Flame Dragon himself, would have such a powerful effect from the giant fireball he spewed out.
However, just as they were filled with surprise, the 7th-tier magical beasts, the gray wolves, that had been hit by the fireballs rolled around on the ground. The flames on their bodies quickly went out, but they looked even more terrifying. They had not suffered much damage.
"Holy crap, this is too weird! These guys are charred black, yet they're still alive. This is terrifying!"
Because of his low cultivation level and timid nature, the Seven-Colored Deer trembled uncontrollably when he saw the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf. However, he was quite surprised when he saw the Flame Dragon Senior spew out a huge fireball that burned the Azure Wolves to a crisp.
"If you don't follow my suggestion and quickly kill these seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, you'll probably be exhausted and die of anger."
Liu Ziming's annoying voice rang out again in everyone's ears, but everyone's mind was jolted, as if their senses would immediately become much clearer.
When thousands of 7-day-old magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, appeared, their hearts couldn't help but clench. Those were thousands of 7th-tier magical beasts—how could they not be afraid? "Don't worry about that. Since Liu Ziming has already given us the best suggestion, why not try it according to his request?"
The giant ape pounded his chest with both fists, appearing extremely excited. Without any hesitation, he charged directly into the ranks of thousands of 7th-tier magical beast wolves as Liu Ziming had instructed, waving his limbs and relentlessly attacking the 7th-tier magical beast wolves.
"Holy crap, the Giant Ape is amazing! He took down so many wolves all by himself. He's not as scary as he seemed."
The reason the giant ape did this was entirely to dispel everyone's fear. After all, he had lived in the forest the longest and knew these things better than anyone.
Moreover, he also wanted to see if Liu Ziming's statement was correct. He kept attacking the head of the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, but each time he seemed to miss.
"Holy crap, does anyone have any objections? If Senior Giant Ape were to challenge thousands of Tier 7 magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, by himself, he would definitely be dead. If we all join forces, perhaps we'll still have a chance?" The Flame Dragon noticed how incredibly brave Senior Giant Ape was and, not wanting to fall behind, roared and charged in as well.
Seeing the two senior figures already charging into the carnage of over a thousand seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, everyone else joined the hunt without hesitation, creating a scene of utter carnage. "Congratulations, host, for killing a seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf! You have received an unexpected reward!"
Liu Ziming was currently perched on a tree branch, carefully observing the movements below. He was completely taken aback that the system in his mind was speaking again, making him look quite strange. "Holy crap, I was just lying on a tree branch, when did I kill a seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf? Isn't this ridiculous?" But before Liu Ziming's doubts could dissipate, the system's voice rang in his mind once more.
"Congratulations, host, for killing the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, once again. However, the speed of the kill was too fast, and the system rewards could not keep up with the count. The rewards will be issued later!"
Hearing the system continuously beeping, Liu Ziming was overjoyed. Could it be that his system was cheating? These people killed the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, and he was able to receive an unexpected reward. This was truly wonderful.
However, Liu Ziming tragically discovered that as the system kept making its pronouncements, his mind seemed overwhelmed, and he appeared particularly irritable.
If those people knew that I was annoyed by receiving so many unexpected rewards, wouldn't they be furious?
"Alright, stop ringing in my head, it's so annoying! As for how you want to distribute the rewards, do whatever you want, I don't care about any of that!" It's fair to say that Liu Ziming was really overwhelmed by the system's reward notifications, so he seemed quite impatient.
However, he never expected that the reward he received this time would be an unexpected surprise.
"If the voices in your head are bothering you, we can turn them off, but the rewards will definitely be issued later. This time, the rewards will definitely exceed your expectations!" Liu Ziming hadn't expected the system to be able to sense his brainwaves. He quickly turned off the voices, but the rewards continued to be issued; he could clearly feel it. "Haha, this is really great! Killing these 7th-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, my strength is increasing like drinking water! It's really fantastic!"
"Old man, don't be so smug. You're not the only one improving. All of us are working hard to improve. These seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, are truly excellent touchstones!"
"Haha, this is really great! It seems that Liu Ziming wasn't lying to us. As long as we keep killing the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, our strength is actually slowly increasing. It really works! It really works!"
As these people continued to kill the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, everyone could clearly feel their strength slowly increasing. Although the speed wasn't fast, it was relatively simple, truly like drinking water—a gradual improvement. "Awoooooo!"
Perhaps it was because the guys Liu Ziming brought were too valiant and invincible, that the thousands of seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, were instantly reduced to two or three hundred, and they all died in a particularly gruesome way, their heads being blown open by a punch or a knife, with yellow and white matter scattered all over the ground.
Because the blood of the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, is not red, but yellowish-white, it looks particularly eerie and emits a foul odor.
"Old monkey, you're only focused on killing these seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves. Haven't you noticed that these guys are attacking us like madmen? They must be organized?"
Although the Flame Dragon was quite powerful, he noticed that the Giant Ape Senior was only focused on killing the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf. He felt that the Giant Ape Senior was too simple-minded. Hadn't he noticed anything else?
Chapter 322 Strategy is the best policy
Everyone was stunned upon hearing these words. Was there some secret to killing these seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves? Wasn't it just about breaking their heads to gain the opportunity for advancement?
"Hehe, didn't that guy Liu Ziming say before that these guys are social animals and must have a leader? Otherwise, why would so many of them die and still attack us like crazy?" The Flame Dragon seemed particularly knowledgeable, constantly waving its long tail and casually tossing one seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, into the air.
Seeing the Flame Dragon constantly showing off but refusing to explain why, these guys felt a bit awkward, but none of them really paid it any mind.
"Hehe, I should ask Senior Giant Ape for help. Perhaps he can understand what I'm thinking. If we don't kill the organizers of these Tier 7 magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, there are over a thousand of them. Although we've already killed a few hundred, my strength seems to be declining. I'll be exhausted to death sooner or later."
Thinking of these flames, the 170-level dragon transformed into a long flame, burning the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, beside it, causing it to howl in pain, and arrived in front of the Giant Ape Senior.
