103: Chen Yuting, a peerless master

Gao Shulin rubbed his face, forced a smile, and said to Gu Qinghan,

“Brother, your luck is pretty good. A Bronze-tier monster, we haven't seen one before…”

Gu Qinghan smiled and shouted at him,

“Does our previous agreement still count? My luck is a little too good.”

Chen Yuting glanced at Gu Qinghan, only to see a brilliant smile on his face again.

Having been together for so long, she understood that Gu Qinghan’s smile didn't only appear when he was happy.

There was another situation: when he became wary of someone, or even developed killing intent.

Gao Shulin turned back and exchanged glances with Zhao Mengling. Seeing that they both shook their heads, he then turned back and said loudly,

“Don't worry! We are all trustworthy people. If you get any good items you don't need, remember to trade them with us!”

Gu Qinghan waved at them, indicating he understood.

In fact, Gu Qinghan wasn't afraid of them turning hostile at all.

If they did, Gu Qinghan was confident he could severely injure them without putting himself in any danger.

However, he didn't want to gamble, because he couldn't kill all of them.

The Mutated Creatures appearing from the gate of calamity were becoming stronger and more frequent.

If some of these people escaped and kept causing trouble while Gu Qinghan was fighting later, it might bring him unexpected problems.

In that case, Gu Qinghan would definitely not be able to level up peacefully here; it would be more trouble than it was worth.

Gu Qinghan believed that if they weren't foolish, they should also understand this principle.

Fifteen minutes had never felt so long. Zhao Mengling and the other two stared intently at the gate of calamity, practically wanting to dive in and drag the Mutated Creatures out.

Gu Qinghan, however, ignored them, simply waiting at a distance just enough to get information about the Mutated Creatures.

Finally, as the countdown ended, a group of level 15 Cannibal Slaves charged out first.

Three Cannibal Warriors followed closely behind, wielding broken blades and rushing towards the Skeletons on Gu Qinghan’s side.

But the last Mutated Creature was a taller fellow carrying a huge axe:

【Cannibal Brave (Bronze Elite): Level 18】

【Combat Power: 1900】

The moment this guy appeared, everyone's expressions were quite something.

Gu Qinghan immediately looked at the axe in his hand, wondering if it could be dropped for his Skeletons to use.

Zhao Mengling and the other two, however, were a bit jealous. Although this Mutated Creature had 1900 Combat Power, it would definitely drop a Bronze-tier item or equipment!

Moreover, at a glance, this guy seemed to be the kind of clumsy but high-damage monster. As long as it was kited well, it was actually quite easy to kill.

After playing the game for so long, everyone had actually figured out some skills and experience.

Strong Combat Power didn't directly determine the outcome of a battle.

If a Professional focused on speed and agility encountered an opponent focused on defense, then even if the latter had slightly higher Combat Power, the former wouldn't be in any danger.

With careful handling of details, they could even slowly wear down the opponent.

However, if their Combat Power was swapped, the more agile Professional could easily handle the latter.

Of course, agile Professionals and Mutated Creatures were generally more fragile, and if an opportunity was seized, they could instantly fall into danger.

Gu Qinghan, of course, also realized this problem. He hesitated for a moment and did not summon the remaining Skeletons again.

He had a better way to deal with this type of Mutated Creature.

He snatched Xiao Hei from Chen Yuting's arms, threw it out directly, and said,

“Lazy cat, you’ve eaten so much, it’s time to exercise.”

Xiao Hei landed on the ground, shook its body, and then quickly ran towards the gate of calamity.

Gu Qinghan had previously killed many Mutated Beast corpses from Ding Yuxuan, all of which he had stored in his necromantic space.

During this time, Xiao Hei had also eaten a few of them through its special feeding method and had already leveled up to 14.

Now, it had a Combat Power of up to 2800.

Xiao Hei ran faster and faster, and its body rapidly expanded like a balloon.

By the time it approached the battlefield, it had already become over three meters long and over one meter tall.

It ignored the charging Cannibal Slaves, leaped, and jumped in front of the Cannibal Brave.

The Cannibal Brave roared, raising its huge axe and smashing it towards Xiao Hei.

However, Xiao Hei's massive body did not affect its agility at all; it dodged with a quick flash.

Then, taking advantage of the axe not yet being raised, it went directly behind the Mutated Creature.

Sharp cat claws gleamed with killing intent in the moonlight, directly tearing a huge gash in the Cannibal Brave's back.

Zhao Mengling's expression suddenly changed, because at this moment, she had already seen Xiao Hei's vitality.

“Its vitality is less than two thousand…”

Her murmuring voice made Jiang Rui and the other person next to her breathe a sigh of relief, but they asked curiously,

“How much vitality does that Bronze Mutated Creature have?”

“Over eight thousand… but…”

“But what? Tell us quickly!”

Zhao Mengling swallowed, looked at the mighty black cat with some trepidation, and slowly said,

“But that one attack just now directly caused it to lose nearly a thousand vitality!”

Jiang Rui and the other person were instantly stunned. The black cat's damage left them speechless.

Originally, when they heard that its vitality was less than two thousand, they were somewhat relieved.

After all, the vitality of Mutated Creatures was generally high.

According to Zhao Mengling, even a casual level ten-plus Mutated Dog had two to three thousand vitality.

However, Zhao Mengling also said that according to her observations, the single damage dealt by those Mutated Dogs generally fluctuated between dozens and a hundred.

Nearly a thousand damage, wouldn't some squishy Professionals be instantly killed?

Gao Shulin coughed and spoke up to encourage them,

“It's fine, we're not going one by one. As long as we hold this cat back, ranged Professionals focusing fire isn't a big problem.”

But no one replied to him. Holding back this black cat was possible, but it would most likely require sacrificing lives.

Although they had chosen to cooperate, none of them wanted their subordinates to go to their deaths first.

Moreover, the two people opposite had been lying there all along, and their relaxed demeanor definitely implied some hidden tricks.

Zhao Mengling glanced at Chen Yuting next to Gu Qinghan and suddenly said,

“If we really fall out, I mean if, we must be careful of that woman.

This black cat was thrown out by that man, which means this should also be his Professional ability, but this woman has not made a move.

I think this woman must have powerful destructive capabilities, very likely not weaker than this black cat!”

Jiang Rui and Gao Shulin also gave Chen Yuting a deep look, then nodded and went back to inform their subordinates.

At this moment, Chen Yuting suddenly felt a gaze, looked opposite, and said in confusion,

“Why do I feel like they're looking at me? I haven't done anything.”

Gu Qinghan stretched, and without turning his head, said,

“You're overconfident, aren't you? Do you think they're attracted by your charm?”

“Gu Qinghan!”

Chen Yuting glared at Gu Qinghan indignantly, then felt a bit helpless when she saw the mischievous smile on his lips.

She looked at the battle, which was almost over, and whispered to Gu Qinghan,

“By the way, why don't you let me craft equipment here, or let me throw fireballs?

I've been lying down all day, I feel like I'm becoming a salted fish.”

Gu Qinghan also yawned, then smiled:

“Keep lying down. In their eyes, you're probably already a peerless master.”
