11: You want to steal my monster?
Although this Contaminated Land is only Rank one.
However, the density of monsters is much higher than that of the beginner dungeon.
Every time Song Ming used Demon Flame Aura, he could take out at least a dozen Corrupted Corpse Demons.
This also caused his experience points to increase rapidly.
He quickly reached Rank 9.
But after reaching Rank 9.
Song Ming was a little sad to find.
With one skill from him.
Often, only a few Corrupted Corpse Demons or Bone Demons' experience points would be credited.
This was even as he delved deeper.
The density of monsters was actually not as high as before.
It was as if these evil demons were deliberately avoiding him.
Those Professionals who were also grinding and leveling up in the Contaminated Land were even more confused.
The Corrupted Corpse Demons that they used to encounter after a few steps.
Now they didn't know where they had run off to.
This was something they had never seen before.
Even the evil demons they were fighting.
Also inexplicably turned into a pile of ashes.
"Holy crap, are these Corrupted Corpse Demons that fragile? They turned to ash in a few hits?"
"Idiot, that's our monster being stolen!"
"What the hell, there are no other Professionals near us?"
"Damn it, this is crazy!"
"I'd better not run into him, otherwise I'll have to beg him to team up with me!"
Many Professionals cursed, not only could they not see low-Rank Corrupted Corpse Demons here.
Even the monsters they were fighting were stolen.
Who the hell can they complain to about this!
......
Song Ming saw that it was difficult to encounter monsters like Corrupted Corpse Demons and Bone Demons around him anymore.
To avoid wasting mana.
He simply stopped using skills.
Most of the monsters on the outskirts of the Contaminated Land had basically been cleared by him.
Song Ming no longer wasted time on the outskirts.
He walked towards the mountainous terrain ahead, which was covered with rugged rocks.
The further he walked, the closer he got to the Abyss Gate where the Demon City Dungeon was located.
The pollution of this land also became more severe.
Song Ming stood still and rested for a moment.
He also recovered most of his mana during this time.
Then he continued walking forward.
The density of monsters here was indeed much higher than in the outer regions.
After more than an hour of effort.
Song Ming's experience points also successfully increased by a large amount.
[Rank: Rank 9 (35040 / 40000)]
"I only need a dozen more evil demons to reach Rank 10! Then I can go directly to the Demon City Dungeon!"
Song Ming glanced at the Merit points on his Demon Hunter Medal again.
It had already reached 103 points.
There was still some gap from the first place.
But this was only a matter of time.
He also didn't know what kind of rewards over a hundred Merit points could be exchanged for in the Hall of Merit.
He heard that the items in the Hall of Merit were all very valuable.
Some were even things that couldn't be bought outside.
This made Song Ming slightly look forward to it.
Just as he was about to continue walking forward.
He suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from ahead.
Immediately after, he saw a team of Professionals running towards him in a panic.
One person even had a wound on his leg.
He limped as he ran, but his speed was not slow at all.
He didn't know what was chasing them from behind.
Making them so terrified.
"Brother, run quickly, there's an elite monster behind us, it's about to catch up!"
The captain running at the front saw Song Ming still standing there and anxiously shouted.
The remaining three team members also had pale faces.
Their escape speed subtly increased a bit.
At this moment.
Whoever ran slower would be the damn front-liner.
Song Ming immediately became interested when he heard this.
Elite monster.
Isn't this a coincidence?
These wild monsters are generally divided into ordinary monsters, enhanced monsters, elite monsters, and enhanced elite monsters, according to their Rank and strength.
So the elite monster they were talking about should be above Rank 15.
For Song Ming.
This was a lot of experience.
Naturally, he couldn't miss it.
The captain leading the escape saw that Song Ming not only didn't run but even took a few steps forward.
His face immediately filled with surprise.
"Brother, are you crazy? That's a Rank 16 elite monster, you're only Rank 9, you won't even be enough to fill its teeth!"
The remaining few teammates also looked at Song Ming as if he were an idiot.
"Captain, if he insists on going to his death, let's not bother with him!"
"How about we use a signal charm? I really can't run anymore, I estimate that elite monster will catch up to us very soon!"
"Healer, quickly heal me, my leg is losing feeling!"
Just then.
A sharp whooshing sound came.
A black spear, emanating a cold and decaying aura, suddenly shot over like lightning.
It went straight for that team of Professionals.
At the critical moment.
The leading middle-aged captain gritted his teeth and took out a black iron greatshield, blocking it in front of everyone.
With a bang.
The middle-aged captain only lasted less than a breath before being directly sent flying.
The black iron greatshield in his hand was also covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
"Captain!"
"Captain, are you alright!"
The other members of the team, seeing this, quickly went over and helped the captain up.
The middle-aged captain's face was pale, then he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
This spear from the elite monster directly severely injured him and knocked him to the ground.
He didn't even have a chance to escape.
"You guys... cough cough, don't mind me, hurry and go!"
"The elite monster is coming soon, if you don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
They saw a headless monster, over two meters tall, riding a skeletal warhorse.
It was covered in rusty black armor, and sharp bone spikes protruded from the gaps in the armor.
[Headless Skeletal Knight]
[Rank: Rank 16]
[Type: Elite Monster]
Behind it were five or six Corrupted Corpse Demons and Bone Demons.
Charging towards them.
The middle-aged captain's heart almost stopped, then he said with a look of despair:
"It's over, it's over, it's all over, none of us can leave now!"
But before he could despair for too long.
Another young woman walked out from behind a strange rock nearby.
She carried a silver longbow on her back, and her light green tight-fitting clothes accentuated her graceful figure.
Her face was beautiful and peerless, with a touch of mixed-race beauty, especially her golden-blonde long hair.
Her first impression was very much like an elf from a TV show.
Her silver eyes lingered on Song Ming for a moment, then she said, "Little brother, leave those Corrupted Corpse Demons to you.
How about I, big sister, deal with this Headless Knight?"
Song Ming heard this.
His eyes narrowed, and he stared at the woman who suddenly appeared with an unfriendly expression.
"You want to steal my monster?"
The bow-wielding young woman was stunned, not understanding what Song Ming meant for a moment.
"What do you mean I'm stealing your monster?"
"You said you'd deal with the Headless Knight, isn't that stealing my monster?" Song Ming retorted.
The bow-wielding young woman said helplessly, "Little brother, you're only Rank 9, you can't deal with this elite monster, big sister is doing this for your own good!"
Song Ming still stared at her.
"Alright, alright, then I'll let you have the Headless Knight, is that okay!"
Song Ming shook his head, then said, "I want them all!"
