Arrival at Monster Island

These three should be the three Deputy Commanders Li Jingshan mentioned.

I have to say, these three Deputy Commanders look quite intimidating.

Devouring Sky Tiger said from the side, "These are the three Deputy Commanders. I heard they can kill a Rank 20 monster solo."

Thunder Cloud was startled and muttered, "Killing a Rank 20 monster solo? That's too insane."

Li Jingshan reprimanded them in a low voice from the front, "Quiet down, and stand properly."

The three did not stand together to give a speech as imagined, but instead walked toward their respective teams.

One of them came to the front of Ye Chen and the others. This person was 1.95 meters tall, with a sturdy build, a standard square face, and was wearing a black and red combat uniform.

His eyes were extremely sharp, and he carried an air of righteousness.

The man walked up to Li Jingshan, bowed slightly, and called out, "Master!"

Unexpectedly, this General Zhang, despite holding such an important position, was still so sentimental and polite.

He was so respectful to his former superior, now his subordinate.

Li Jingshan chuckled and said, "Everyone, this is our Deputy Commander, Zhang Yun, General Zhang."

Everyone called out in unison, "Hello, General Zhang."

Zhang Yun waved his hand and smiled, "No need for such formalities. Thank you for your hard work on this operation. Do not feel too much pressure; whether you succeed or not does not matter. The primary task is to pay attention to your safety; safety comes first."

"Yes!"

Listening to Zhang Yun speak, he sounded like someone who cared quite a bit about his subordinates.

"This time, you must be united because the standard for this competition is the number of survivors, followed by the monster cores hunted. Level 1 monsters are worth one point, Level 2 are worth two points, and this continues up to Rank 10. For anything above that, for every additional Rank, the score is multiplied by two."

After Zhang Yun explained the competition rules, everyone finally understood.

Ye Chen frowned, because the greatest danger this time might not be the monsters, but the people on the other side.

The time reached past eight o'clock.

Several people had already arrived in front of the helicopters.

These helicopters were similar to armored vehicles, both using Advanced materials; whether in appearance or defensive capability, they were top-notch.

A total of nine helicopters were parked here, with each team taking one.

The helicopters took off slowly and headed toward Monster Island.

Monster Island was originally named Dark Rain Island; it was overcast all day with constant rain, and no one lived there.

Later, when the monsters descended, this place became a paradise for monsters, so it was renamed Monster Island.

Monster Island was a small island located on the edge of the Seventh Area's waters. Although it was called a small island, it was not small at all, large enough to match the size of the Aggregation Zone.

An hour later, Monster Island appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Because it was night, it was still raining, and it was impossible to see the situation on the island clearly.

The helicopters did not land but hovered about twenty meters above the ground.

Everyone did not hesitate and jumped down from above one by one.

For them now, this distance was nothing.

After landing on the ground, the three teams of Ye Chen, Devouring Sky Tiger, and Thunder Cloud quickly assembled.

Weeds were overgrown, light rain was pattering, and it felt somewhat eerie and terrifying.

Devouring Sky Tiger frowned and said, "This place looks too weird."

Ye Chen redeemed three houses from the Monster Mall and said, "The night is not suitable for scouting. Let's rest for the night and go out tomorrow."

The two had no objections and returned to their respective houses.

Inside the house.

Ye Chen instructed Yu Nian and the others, "Do not separate. Stay together at all times. Our greatest danger this time is not the monsters, but the other six teams."

The others certainly understood Ye Chen's words and nodded one by one to indicate they understood.

The next day.

Morning.

The sky had brightened, but it was still an overcast day, and the light rain was still drizzling down.

Fortunately, the combat uniforms everyone was wearing were waterproof.

Ye Chen, Devouring Sky Tiger, and Thunder Cloud's three teams gathered together and embarked on their journey.

Devouring Sky Tiger glanced at his watch and said anxiously, "They are really dogs. They already started acting last night. Now the highest team score is already 36 points."

Ye Chen didn't care much and said, "No worries. We just need to speed up our hunting."

Thunder Cloud suggested at this time, "How about we separate? That way, the hunting efficiency will be higher."

Ye Chen immediately denied it, "No. Don't forget there is another condition for the competition: the number of survivors. Do you think they won't make a move on us?"

Thunder Cloud was stunned and nodded to show he understood.

Ye Chen said no more and took the lead, walking forward.

The environment on the island was not very good, with towering trees and swamps everywhere.

Coo! Coo! Coo! Coo!

Four consecutive calls.

Everyone hurriedly looked toward the sound.

They saw four identical large black birds overhead.

【Corrosive Giant Crow】

Rank: 17

Tier: Normal

Attribute: Wind

Skill: Corrosive Feather

Combat Power: 12800

HP: 37000

Note: The Corrosive Giant Crow's feathers are launched like a rain of swords, each hit causing 4444 damage!

"Four Corrosive Giant Crows!"

Zhu Qiang cursed, "Damn it, how unlucky. The first time we encounter monsters, we get four, and they are identical!"

Ye Chen said repeatedly, "Each team deal with one, and I will handle the other!"

He quickly formulated a combat plan and acted immediately.

Flower Fairy took the lead and threw out vines, firmly binding one of them, while Blood Asura slowly appeared holding the Death Scythe.

He directly used Shadow Assault to arrive beside the bound Corrosive Giant Crow.

The Death Scythe slashed directly onto it.

-5700!

Devouring Sky Tiger exclaimed upon seeing this, "Holy crap! 5700 damage! Is this f*cking a Rank 10 pet?!"

The Corrosive Giant Crow spread its wings, pecked the vines apart with its giant beak, and launched an attack on Blood Asura.

Devouring Sky Tiger and Thunder Cloud had also acted. The Soaring Cloud Thunder Leopard let out a howl and leaped toward a Corrosive Giant Crow.

The Soaring Cloud Thunder Leopard had a wing on each of its four limbs and white fluff on its body.

Its fur was also blue and white, like lightning.

The Soaring Cloud Thunder Leopard grabbed the Corrosive Giant Crow tightly with its two front paws and opened its big mouth to bite its neck.

-3700!

The Blood Pattern Tiger had also acted; it was much larger than the Soaring Cloud Thunder Leopard, and its speed was extremely fast.

A red light flashed, and the Blood Pattern Tiger had already appeared in front of a Corrosive Giant Crow, also biting the Corrosive Giant Crow's neck.

-4000!

Clearly, the Blood Pattern Tiger's damage was higher.

Although their Rank and Tier were the same, the Blood Pattern Tiger's equipment was better.

But compared to Blood Asura, it was still much lower.

Ye Chen, holding the Thunderclap Blade, stood on the back of the King Kong Ape, which spread its Boneless Wing and flew toward the last Corrosive Giant Crow.

Ye Chen leaped up and jumped onto the back of the Corrosive Giant Crow.

"Great Extinction!"

Ye Chen raised the Thunderclap Blade high and slashed fiercely at the head of the Corrosive Giant Crow!

-5555!

"Holy crap! This! This damage!"

Devouring Sky Tiger's eyes widened instantly, and Thunder Cloud's pupils dilated as he stared fixedly at Ye Chen.

"Can a Pet Master also have such high damage?"

Zhu Qiang laughed from the side, "Our Brother Chen's power is beyond your imagination!"
