8: Chapter 8 Slay Demons with Me

Xiahou La was the first to speak, "Do you have any Profound Iron Wire that is indestructible, or at least cannot be destroyed by anyone below the God Venerable level?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Dalei waved his hand toward the armory. A burst of golden light flashed from within, and a silver wire appeared before the three of them.

"Black Silver Wire. Exceptionally sturdy; it cannot be broken except by the power of a God Venerable. It can mobilize hundreds of thousands of catties of immense force. Price: ten High-Level Monster Soldier monster cores."

"This is so expensive!" Seeing the price, Xiahou La's face, which had been joyful, instantly sank.

Within the same realm, monster beasts are inherently stronger than humans, let alone ten High-Level Monster Soldiers equivalent to the Tuotai Realm.

"This is too difficult!" Xiahou La shook his head and was about to give up when Ruan Mi patted his shoulder, waved her hand, and tossed out several monster cores, saying:

"We'll buy this."

"Da Mimi, you..."

To be honest, Xiahou La was moved.

But before he could speak, Kang Dalei, who was standing to the side, wouldn't have it.

He never expected that Ruan Mi would actually still have money.

"You, you, you! How do you still have monster cores?"

"Hmph." Ruan Mi snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to the skinflint Kang Dalei, but after a moment's thought, she replied.

"None of your business. Can't this young lady have some private savings?"

"Oh, that's true." Kang Dalei seemed to understand something and nodded at Ruan Mi.

This girl uses a cannon that consumes monster cores; how could she not find a way to save up more monster cores?

"Damn it, I was careless. I actually let her keep some monster cores on her."

Kang Dalei felt a wave of annoyance.

This greedy appearance was even uglier than the system.

It could be said that the system and Kang Dalei were both equally black-hearted.

After Xiahou La equipped his gear, he immediately asked Ruan Mi and Old He to spar with him to test it out.

Kang Dalei also happened to want to see how the items from the system actually performed.

Once they engaged, the Black Silver Wire flew out like a long snake. Along with all of Xiahou La's long swords, it formed a faint, transparent circle of energy around him, like a giant net, isolating him from his enemies.

"This Black Silver Wire is strange."

"Yeah, it's very hard, and it even has a rebounding effect."

Ruan Mi and Old He said one after another.

Xiahou La, who was attacking, actually felt it too.

This Black Silver Wire was countless times better than the iron wire he had used before.

"Da Mimi, it's definitely good stuff."

"I know." Ruan Mi replied.

Her face, which had still been happy, turned sad after hearing that the purchased Black Silver Wire was high-quality goods.

Because her private savings were about to hit rock bottom.

Seeing her expression, Xiahou La seemed to think of something, walked to her side, and comforted her:

"How about we go out and hunt monster beasts?"

Ruan Mi raised her head, then lowered it again.

"Will that bastard let us leave?"

The three of them fell into silence again.

Just then, a rumbling sound from outside the Fishing Village caused the expressions of the three to change.

Kang Dalei also stood up from his seat at this moment.

"Something's happening."

The three of them exchanged glances, their expressions inexplicably tightening for some reason.

"Could it be a monster beast tide?" Ruan Mi muttered quietly.

Xiahou La and the other one echoed thoughtfully.

"It seems like it, but it's not quite right."

"Forget it, let's see how that guy handles it first."

Ruan Mi took a deep look at the visibly nervous Kang Dalei. She didn't know why, but instead of feeling happy to see him anxious, she felt even more worried for him.

"System, what is going on?" Kang Dalei only felt his whole body shaking along with the ground.

If he didn't know this was Cangyuan World, he would have thought it was an earthquake.

[Ding-dong, temporary mission released: Resolve the turbulent monster beast tide that occurs every three years in Dongning Prefecture and Xining Prefecture, and save the innocent commoners. Reward: One copy of the secret technique, Tyrannosaurus Snow Slash.]

"Turbulent monster beast tide."

He knew about monster beast tides; every year, monster beasts would attempt to attack various major cities. But why were there specific time intervals for this? Could it be that monster beasts also have performance reviews?

There was no time to think too much. Anyway, it didn't matter if it was a monster beast tide or not; as long as he could kill monsters and get points, that was all that mattered.

Suddenly, Kang Dalei became impassioned and said to the three people behind him:

"Little ones, come with me to slay the monsters."

Kang Dalei's demeanor was quite grand, but these words sounded like something else entirely in the ears of Ruan Mi and the other two.

At this moment, Ruan Mi really wanted to go up and kick Kang Dalei a few times and ask him properly why, every time he said something that should be good, it turned into annoying nonsense.

But when she saw Kang Dalei rush out of the Fishing Village first, without a shred of hesitation, a hint of joy inexplicably rose in her heart.

"I couldn't tell, but you're actually quite spirited when slaying monsters."

Ruan Mi gained a rather good impression of Kang Dalei because of this action.

However, if she knew that Kang Dalei was doing this entirely because of the system mission and points,

she would probably be so angry that she'd crawl out of bed in the middle of the night to slap this bastard twice.

The three of them exchanged glances and simultaneously chased after Kang Dalei.

Regardless of their stance, they were aligned with humanity when it came to slaying monsters.

Otherwise, how do you think Ruan Mi got so many monster cores in her hands?

But as they followed Kang Dalei's route further and further away, they felt increasingly suspicious.

"Why are the monster beasts all appearing in the nearby villages?"

"Da Mimi, this is a bit strange."

"Damn it, where did Kang Dalei go?"

Old He's shout pulled their thoughts back.

Kang Dalei, who had just been running in front, had now vanished without a trace.

"He didn't get eaten by the monster beasts, did he?" Old He said in horror.

Ruan Mi glared at him, looked around, and said:

"Shut your crow's mouth. Let's look nearby; maybe his figure is just blocked by the trees."

Kang Dalei hadn't actually gone anywhere; he had just seen an old friend earlier and had sneakily stolen the piglets of two Earth Pig Demons.

Between the two High-Level Monster Soldiers were several Foundation Establishment Realm piglets. Because they were just born, they looked exactly like the piglets from Kang Dalei's original world, which was why he couldn't help himself.

The Earth Pig Demon leading the monsters, walking in front and preparing to slaughter the villages near Death Fishing Village, suddenly turned around while walking, intending to check on its newborn piglets.

But when it turned its head, it didn't see the piglets. Instead, it saw a human with a long saber on his back and a strand of long hair, holding its newborn piglets and running in the opposite direction.

At first, the Earth Pig Demon hadn't reacted. It wasn't until another pig demon to the side roared to remind it that the Earth Pig Demon realized its piglets had been stolen.

Roar! Following a series of roars, the monster beasts that had been scattered everywhere began to gather one after another around the Earth Pig Demon after hearing this roar.

Meanwhile, Kang Dalei, who had stolen the piglets, was currently gulping in excitement.

He loved eating roast suckling pig the most.

On the other side, Ruan Mi and the others, hearing the roars of the monster beasts, began to rush toward Kang Dalei's direction at high speed.

The three of them had now awakened the Five-Colored Sha. Although their bodies were still only at the first level of Body Refining, their overall physical attributes were no longer comparable to before.

The three of them could now perform short bursts of attacks relying solely on their physical strength.

Although they couldn't compare to Kang Dalei yet, they were already much stronger than ordinary cultivators.

Ruan Mi looked at the surrounding environment, made a gesture to the two, and said:

"Kang Dalei might have encountered a monster beast tide. Let's follow our previous formation and move separately."

Ruan Mi instructed, and the three began to advance one after another according to three different formations.
