578: Demon Cave Tribulation

Chapter 578: Demonic Cave Tribulation

"Me too," Maple Leaf echoed. In essence, she was somewhat similar to Wu.

Compared to everyone else's "exploration" and "deciphering" of this world, she was more straightforward.

Of course, everyone had their own pursuits, and they were all contributing in their own ways.

The battles waged by Maple Leaf and Wu were, in fact, helping to "clean up the trash" in this world, weren't they?

However, aside from very powerful monsters or specially existing monsters,

the common monsters yielded source points ranging from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands.

Accumulating bit by bit, killing them quickly also caused source points to surge.

Take the lava monster that Ally and Bai Mo killed together earlier, for example.

It was clearly a special existence, especially one that dropped unique "parts."

Everyone had only killed a handful of such monsters so far, and their abilities were all incredibly potent.

There was a sense of authority about them.

However, it seemed precisely because of this that the rewards were immense: killing them provided source points, and the "parts" harvested could also be sacrificed to the Cross-World Group in exchange for source points.

This world was full of source points!

Everyone in the Cross-World Group had their own ideas, and they all respected each other's thoughts and actions.

The premise was that they must not harm the interests of other group members, nor endanger the Cross-World Group. This was the bottom line!

Of course, no one would be foolish enough to endanger the Cross-World Group.

"They're here! Another Demonic Cave Tribulation!" A group of people with pure white wings on their backs, dressed in clothes made of unknown plant fibers, frowned as they looked at the gigantic black vortex in the sky.

"All Featherfolk, prepare for battle immediately!" At an elder's command, golden light shimmered on everyone, male and female alike, enveloping them in armor. Golden light flashed in their hands, and a longsword was gripped.

Their wings flapped, and they all flew into the air.

Many monsters flew towards them.

The two sides instantly engaged in battle.

Such scenes were happening in many places.

The Featherfolk were numerous, and there seemed to be many in various locations. Of course, "numerous" was only relative.

Compared to the ubiquitous monsters, they appeared very scarce.

Moreover, Featherfolk from different places had subtle differences in their appearance, hair color, the nuances of their wings, and even the styles of their armor and longswords.

Clearly, these Featherfolk each belonged to their own tribes; they were not entirely one "race."

And the places where they lived were mostly on cliffs, or within forests tens or even hundreds of meters high, living among the treetops.

But one thing was consistent: facing this horde of monsters, they all actively took up arms and counterattacked.

Judging by their practiced movements, it was clear this was not the first time they had done so.

Meanwhile, the members of the Cross-World Group began to farm source points across the world.

"Hahaha! Battle! So exhilarating!!!" Wu laughed heartily as countless monsters turned into blood mist under his hands.

He unleashed his martial arts to his heart's content.

These monsters weren't fools; seeing Wu's excessive brutality, they simply bypassed him.

"Don't run, any of you!" A gleam flashed in Wu's eyes, and his figure burst forth, punching monsters into blood mist one after another.

Yi Xin, Lin Zifeng, and others were also continuously killing these monsters.

In addition, there were some special existences also hunting these monsters.

It was as if this giant black vortex was a "slaughterhouse," and these monsters were "pigs," all thrown in, then countless "butchers" began to slaughter them.

The monsters seemed endless.

After killing for several hours straight, the gigantic black vortex in the sky showed no change, though fewer and fewer monsters emerged.

Although everyone had killed many, it was impossible to kill them all; too many monsters were running everywhere, and quite a few had even hidden themselves.

They seemed to have a deep obsession with "living" in this world, even if it meant dying, they would still come.

"Hmm?!" Clarissa suddenly paused, sensing something, and looked up at the gigantic black vortex in the sky.

Immediately after, the others also sensed it.

Countless extremely powerful auras emanated from within.

Then, streaks of crimson light shot out in all directions from it. At a rough glance, there were no less than ten thousand, densely packed, launching towards various parts of the world.

The members of the Cross-World Group reacted extremely quickly, each choosing a target and giving chase.

Of course, they all chose targets whose auras were not very strong.

After the ejection, the gigantic black vortex slowly disappeared.

It reverted to the original gloomy, blood-tinged sky.

Whoosh!

Maple Leaf intercepted a streak of crimson light.

Boom!!!

Maple Leaf punched out, divine power erupting with her fist.

The figure within the crimson light seemed not to have expected anyone would dare to directly intercept it and attack it!

Boom!!!

The crimson light exploded.

A figure was sent flying dozens of meters away before stabilizing in mid-air.

Maple Leaf then clearly saw the opponent's appearance:

A young man, about 1.9 meters tall, with shoulder-length red hair, wearing a slightly luxurious black and red outfit.

His face was pale, the kind of pallor seen on someone who had been dead for many years, and his eyes were azure.

He looked down at his chest, where he had just been struck. There was a fist print on his clothes, but a crimson energy circulated over it, and the clothes returned to their original state.

"Interesting..." The young man smiled faintly, then his face showed a look of ecstasy as he sniffed, "Mmm~ Scented, you are very fragrant!"

Maple Leaf's beautiful sword-like eyebrows raised slightly.

"Let's get acquainted. Everyone calls me the Bloody Duke, but I don't think it sounds very good~" The young man said with a smile.

Bloody Duke? Hearing the other party's words, Maple Leaf couldn't help but think of a type of fantasy creature Chen Mu mentioned in the group from their world - vampires.

Could the other party be a vampire or something similar?

"Mine sounds quite good. Others call me Valkyrie." However, out of politeness and the upbringing of a martial artist, she nodded slightly and said to the other party.

"Valkyrie?! Mmm~ Indeed, very beautiful!" The Bloody Duke smiled faintly. The next moment, he suddenly transformed into a streak of crimson light and swiftly flew towards Maple Leaf.

At the same time, the other members of the Cross-World Group also intercepted their respective opponents.

Clarissa also intercepted one.

However, while intercepting, she also conveniently cleaved several streaks of crimson light to pieces with a single sword stroke.

Such a terrifying display of strength caused the nearby crimson lights to change direction, moving as far away as possible.

"Such... deliciousness..." A muscular man, at least three meters tall, appeared, draped in a shaggy fur coat, his exposed chest muscles extremely solid.

He stood before Clarissa, his exposed hands not entirely human, with a beast-like claw feel to them.

He had slicked-back red hair, thick and reaching his shoulders.

His face was stern and somewhat fierce.
