701: Slow Dead

In Black Fire Town.

Facing the surrounding undead rushing towards him, Wang Chen showed no fear on his face; instead, his eyes revealed a hint of contemplation.

"These guys' minds are not just a little worse than the undead I encountered before; once their bloodthirsty thoughts arise, they almost completely become beasts dominated by desire."

"It seems that although these undead possess First Rank strength from birth, the lower their strength, the worse their control over themselves."

"Before, I was truly worried for nothing."

Thinking to himself, Wang Chen's lips curved into a cold arc.

With a bang!

He tapped the ground with his toe, and his body instantly shot out. The first undead that pounced towards him suddenly saw a fist the size of a sandbag in its crimson eyes, and the next second, it lost consciousness.

It was smashed in the head by Wang Chen's punch.

Then, after dealing with the first undead, Wang Chen, like a storm, charged into the surrounding undead.

He either threw a punch or swept his leg, and amidst the muffled thuds, every undead he touched had its body shattered.

Not a single one could withstand even a single exchange under him.

In the blink of an eye, the area around Wang Chen became empty, with only one last undead remaining, still in a Charge posture, stiffly standing in place.

"Th-th-this..."

This last undead looked at the Human Race in front of him with a face full of horror, its antennae on its head standing erect.

He never expected that this Human Race, who seemed to pose little threat, would eliminate all his companions in the blink of an eye.

The speed was so fast that he simply couldn't believe it.

But he didn't know that this speed was still the result of Wang Chen intentionally controlling himself.

If he had directly unleashed all his power from the start, these undead wouldn't have lasted even a moment; they would have been shattered into pieces with one punch.

However, Wang Chen wouldn't do that for now. Although he learned about the strength of the undead town from Night Feather and Night Ning, these two undead were only members of the hunting party that went out to hunt in Black Fire Town, barely considered mid-level in the town.

Wang Chen guessed that the information they knew was very likely incomplete.

After all, the undead had developed their own civilization, and the stronger they were, the higher their wisdom; it wouldn't be strange for them to hide some powerful methods.

Facing such enemies, caution was the best approach.

Opposite.

"You… you… who exactly are you?"

The last undead stood stiffly in place, looking at Wang Chen with trembling eyes, asking a very foolish question.

"No, is there a difference in Human Race in your eyes?"

"Don't stand here being an eyesore; you've fortunately kept your life, why don't you hurry back and call for help?"

Looking at this undead with playful eyes, Wang Chen said mockingly.

According to Night Feather and Night Ning, the strongest undead in Black Fire Town were the Town Chief and the leader of the hunting party, both of whom had Late Stage Seventh Rank strength.

Converted to Blue Star's strength division, that would be between Rank two hundred and two hundred twenty.

Normally, such strength was not enough to be seen in front of Wang Chen.

Even though his injuries had not fully recovered, enemies below Eighth Rank could not pose any danger to him.

However, Wang Chen was worried that these undead had hidden methods, so he did not intend to step into the town.

In Blue Star, battle formations and various magic formations had the ability to defeat the strong with the weak. The undead of the Netherworld would certainly have similar methods, and perhaps, some large-scale killing formation was even set up in Black Fire Town.

After all, Wang Chen had seen in various books in the library that in such indigenous worlds where transcendent power had developed to an extremely high degree, mountain-protecting formations and sect-protecting formations were commonplace, and a town-protecting formation was also very possible.

Opposite.

"I-I-I… you just wait for me!"

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the undead who had narrowly escaped death was visibly stunned, as if he never expected this Human Race to let him go back and report.

"When the Town Chief and Lord Commander arrive, they will tear you to pieces."

Without daring to look back, this undead uttered a harsh threat and hurriedly rushed towards the town, shouting as he ran:

"Human Race has invaded the town!"

"Human Race has invaded the town!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Although the undead were very ugly, this scene was indeed very comical.

"It seems these undead have been peaceful for too long; their vigilance has become very weak. They haven't even reacted to such a big commotion?"

At this moment, seeing that only a few dozen scattered undead came out of the town due to the commotion, Wang Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

The Human Race of the Netherworld, due to the threat of the Qi of death filling the world at night, had been exaggerating the horror of the wild at night for thousands of years.

This led to almost no one daring to enter the wild at night, causing these undead to hardly encounter any decent enemies for thousands of years, resulting in their slow reaction like snails when encountering enemy attacks now.

However, Wang Chen was only sighing; he certainly didn't hope these undead would change, as this was good news for him.

He wished the undead would be less vigilant and slow to react, which would facilitate his great undertaking of killing monsters and leveling up.

A total of twenty-one undead died in his hands in an instant.

Although most of these guys were only Second Rank, equivalent to wild Demonic Beast monsters around Rank sixty, and only one was Third Rank ninety, the total experience points they provided were more than what he gained from hunting those Demonic Beasts last night.

"The progress bar for leveling up has advanced by another one percent. If I wipe out this undead town tonight, I might even directly gain a Rank."

"If other Awakeners on Blue Star knew about this leveling speed, their eyes would probably turn red with envy."

Wang Chen thought playfully, then suddenly moved his feet, leaving his original spot.

Whoosh!

The next second, an arrow, carrying a piercing whistle, heavily landed where he had stood before.

With a bang!

The arrow exploded directly upon hitting the ground, blasting a two-meter-diameter pit in the ground.

"Good power."

Having seen this scene, Wang Chen nodded and swept his gaze into the distance.

There, an undead holding a two-meter-long war bow and emitting a Sixth Rank aura was staring at him in shock.

This undead's hand was still on the bowstring, holding an arrow, but he had not shot it for a long time.

It wasn't that he didn't want to shoot, but Wang Chen's terrifying reaction and speed he just displayed directly scared him.

This undead knew very well that trying to hit this invading Human Race with an arrow was simply a pipe dream with his strength.

"Human Race!"

"Why do you invade our town and slaughter my clansmen?"
