99: Strong entry

Below the massive gate of calamity, space violently fluctuated, and then a group of monsters, approximately two meters tall, appeared.

Gu Qinghan glanced at them; these monsters each had a huge belly, but in their hands, they all carried rusty iron rods.

They were ugly, with mouths full of fangs, and their bell-like eyes revealed a bloodthirsty aura.

As soon as they appeared, they lunged at Gu Qinghan, who was the closest.

"They're Cannibal Slaves! Oh my, fifty of them!"

"More than that, look at the muscular one behind them, that looks like a Cannibal Warrior!"

The crowd erupted in gasps; clearly, they had encountered these monsters before.

Gu Qinghan didn't overthink it; he immediately sent his ten Berserker Skeletons forward.

[Cannibal Slave: Level 10]

[Combat Power: 600]

These monsters were only large in size; their movements were somewhat stiff.

The surrounding Professionals wouldn't have much trouble fighting them one-on-one, but the difficulty lay in their sheer numbers.

Fifty of them could already cause a qualitative change.

However, to everyone's surprise, these Cannibal Slaves were instantly routed the moment they clashed with the fully armed figures.

In almost two or three strikes, a Cannibal Slave would be cut down.

Not every monster that was cut down died, but they would certainly lose the ability to continue fighting.

Gu Qinghan was not surprised by this; his Berserker Skeletons' attributes were now completely on par with Berserker Professionals.

[Berserker Skeleton: Level 14]

[vitality: 2800]

[mana: 280]

[Combat Power: 840]

[Skills: Berserker Bloodline, Furious Leap, Death Struggle, Brutality]

With the equipment's buffs, each Berserker Skeleton had a combat power of 1190 points!

And Berserkers were already a profession focused on brute force; if they couldn't utterly crush these small fry, that would be abnormal.

The only real threat was the Level 15 elite monster.

[Cannibal Warrior (Elite): Level 15]

[Combat Power: 1500]

This guy was at the very back of the monsters, currently holding a tattered broken saber and charging towards Gu Qinghan.

"Should I send Little Skeleton out?"

Chen Yuting looked at the charging monster and couldn't help but look at Gu Qinghan.

However, Gu Qinghan shook his head; this minor trouble was not enough to warrant Little Skeleton's intervention.

While displaying great strength could inspire awe, revealing all of one's methods in this apocalypse would only lead to a swift death.

The people around looked at the battle situation on Gu Qinghan's side, feeling somewhat puzzled:

"Is this guy scared stiff? Why isn't he moving!"

"Yeah, why are he and the woman next to him just watching and not helping his teammates?"

"Damn it, these kinds of people are disgusting. If I were his teammate, I'd just lead the monster right to his face!"

There were some extreme comments in the crowd, but within a few seconds, these voices quieted down considerably.

Because they saw some Little Skeletons suddenly appear on the field.

These Little Skeletons seemed to emerge from the void, but they looked fragile.

As soon as they appeared, they charged towards the monsters, but were shattered into pieces in two hits.

A Professional suddenly let out a snicker; he had originally thought these somewhat frightening-looking Skeletons were some kind of trump card.

As it turned out, they were defeated within two seconds of appearing.

Two Berserker Skeletons activated their skills and charged directly in front of the Cannibal Warrior, pinning it outside the main battle.

The remaining eight Berserker Skeletons, under the cover of a group of Little Skeletons, engaged with the more than forty Cannibal Slaves.

A bald big brother immediately started cursing at Gu Qinghan, his neck red with anger:

"You beast! Your teammates are dying and you're not doing anything!

If I were your teammate, I'd kill you first after the battle!"

It was clear that this big brother was a passionate person.

The surrounding people also cast scornful glances at Gu Qinghan; they couldn't understand why Gu Qinghan could continue to stand by.

But a few seconds later, they noticed that the fully armed Professionals had not suffered any casualties.

Their speed remained swift, and their attacks showed no signs of fatigue.

The big brother who had been cursing earlier suddenly froze; he watched for a long time and then suddenly asked a teammate next to him:

"How come I feel like these guys are getting fiercer the more they fight?"

The people around him also nodded; they had noticed the same issue.

As each Cannibal Slave fell, the speed of the figures' slaughter became faster and faster, without any apparent impact.

But they clearly saw that those Cannibal Slaves had hit these Professionals!

And they also had a question: what was that sharp Bone Spear on the ground after the Little Skeletons died?

Was it a trap, or some other skill?

They didn't know that every monster that died would heal the Skeletons' injuries.

They also didn't know that every Little Skeleton they found laughable would bring a strengthening effect to these Skeletons upon its death.

This was still with Gu Qinghan not having triggered the Bone Spears on the ground; otherwise, these people would have their eyes popping out.

In just over three minutes, Gu Qinghan's eight Skeletons had already slain all of these Cannibal Slaves.

Moreover, as the fight progressed, the Level 15 elite, which had initially held an advantage, gradually began to show signs of fatigue.

It wasn't that it had become weaker, but rather that the two Berserker Skeletons it faced had grown stronger.

As this elite monster unwillingly fell, the surrounding crowd became eerily silent.

Especially the big brother who had been cursing earlier; he even shrank into the crowd, afraid that Gu Qinghan would come looking for trouble.

Gu Qinghan looked at the quieted crowd around him, then smiled at the three teams.

He tossed the few pieces of junk equipment that dropped into his storage ring; Chen Yuting could dismantle them for materials later.

With the storage ring from the mall as a cover, Gu Qinghan found it much more convenient to use his necromantic space.

However, the elite monster did drop two items; picking them up, he found they were two scrolls:

[Cannibal Warrior Summoning Scroll: One-time item]

[Effect: Summon a Cannibal Warrior with 1500 combat power to follow and fight for you for 2 hours.]

Gu Qinghan tossed the two scrolls in his hand, feeling a bit emotional.

If it were before, he would have been very pleased with two beings with 1500 combat power.

But now, his own combat power alone was already close to two thousand.

Not to mention, he also had so many powerful death creatures.

"Turns out, without realizing it, I've already become this strong..."

Gu Qinghan casually put away the two scrolls and stopped about seventy to eighty meters away from the gate of calamity.

He found two lounge chairs from his necromantic space, took them out, placed them on the ground, and lay down.

His position and the three teams were almost symmetrical with the gate of calamity as the axis, but his side had far fewer people.

The ten Berserker Skeletons silently returned behind Gu Qinghan, guarding him like the most loyal protectors.

No one questioned the strength of Gu Qinghan's team anymore; anyone with eyes could see that they had the right to sit there.

However, with such a powerful team suddenly appearing, the benefits that these ordinary Professionals could gain would be even less.

But they also had no choice; in this world that had been completely reshuffled, strength was everything.

New information appeared on the massive gate of calamity; this time, there were only 5 Level 10 monsters.

Monsters of this level were of no value to him at all, providing very little Necromantic Power.

He only needed to wait here; monsters worth his attention would surely appear.

Because this gate of calamity was neither Black Iron nor Bronze.

This was a Silver-grade gate of calamity!
