Steel Monster

This place was the last remaining sanctuary for ordinary humans.

After returning to the room, Ye Chen and the others prepared to rest. Just as they lay down on the beds, the phone rang.

Ye Chen glanced at the caller ID; it was Shao Shuai.

"Hello?"

Shao Shuai's voice came through: "Hello, Brother Ye Chen, are you back?"

Ye Chen sat up and gave a hum of acknowledgement.

Shao Shuai chuckled twice and said: "That matter has already spread. You're at the Law Enforcement Alliance right now, aren't you?"

Ye Chen hummed in affirmation.

"The Smiling Face Alliance has already been wiped out, so you don't need to worry. We, the Dark Alliance, don't have any ulterior motives toward you. My boss just wanted me to ask, what did you obtain in the Hell Secret Realm?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew it; Shao Shuai calling was undoubtedly to ask about this matter.

The other factions had already communicated with each other about what they had obtained, but they still didn't know about Ye Chen's side.

There was no need for Ye Chen to hide it from Shao Shuai, so he said: "I obtained some experience points."

Shao Shuai gave a disappointed "Oh."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he hung up the phone.

Ye Chen smiled bitterly to himself and fell asleep.

The next day.

The five of them got up early.

After grabbing a quick bite to eat outside, they walked out of the Safe Zone.

Lin Nuoyi had already accepted a mission and was heading toward the nearest destination.

Zhu Qiang suddenly said: "Brother Chen, Devouring Sky Tiger and Thunder Cloud are now captains, and our Star Platoon has been placed under Devouring Sky Tiger's command."

Zhu Qiang said in surprise while looking at the team information updated this morning.

Ye Chen didn't care in the slightest. Devouring Sky Tiger and Thunder Cloud had been in the Law Enforcement Alliance since its founding. After grinding for so long and making such great contributions last time, it was only right that they reached the position of captain.

The five of them had arrived in front of a strange building.

It was an iron tower, but it was tilted.

It looked like a famous building from abroad.

Lin Nuoyi said: "There is a Rank LV19 monster somewhere near here."

Ye Chen nodded and scanned his surroundings.

There was nothing strange around them, nor was there any movement.

Yu Nian suddenly frowned and said: "Ye Chen, look at that tower. Is it moving?"

Ye Chen looked in the direction of Yu Nian's gaze.

He saw something wriggling at the top of the iron tower.

It was a black object.

Zhu Qiang said skeptically: "How can this steel bar be moving?"

Ye Chen suddenly said: "It's a monster! Quick, back away!"

Ye Chen said hurriedly.

A steel bar monster grabbed the tip of the iron tower and threw it at Ye Chen and the others.

Bang!

The sharp spire landed where they had been standing just a moment ago, piercing directly into the ground.

For a moment, dust filled the air!

[Steel Giant Beast] Rank: LV19. Grade: Normal. Attribute: Metal. Skill: Assimilation. Combat Power: 14800. HP: 71000. Note: The Steel Giant Beast is covered in rust. Being touched by the rust on it will cause you to be assimilated and turn into rust.

A monster made entirely of steel bars climbed down from the iron tower.

The monster's limbs, chest, and torso were all constructed from steel bars.

Zhu Qiang cursed: "Damn it, this thing looks so tanky!"

Piggy Dragon let out a grunt and charged at it.

Clang!

Piggy Dragon slammed into the Steel Giant Beast's steel leg and immediately recoiled dozens of steps.

It hurriedly lifted its little hoof to rub its little head.

Zhu Qiang rolled his eyes and scolded Piggy Dragon: "Stupid!"

Piggy Dragon grunted and retreated to the side.

Blood Asura and King Kong Ape moved out simultaneously.

King Kong Ape roared, equipped the Stone Fist, and hammered down at the Steel Giant Beast.

Clang!

King Kong Ape collided with the Steel Giant Beast, producing a clanging sound.

-3000!

It had to be said, this guy was truly tanky; its defense was incredibly high.

King Kong Ape's heavy punch only dealt 3000 damage.

The Steel Giant Beast suddenly shook its body, emitting a clattering sound.

Its legs suddenly changed color, and a rust-like substance began to spread toward King Kong Ape's fist.

At the spot where King Kong Ape's Stone Fist met the Steel Giant Beast's leg, a patch of rust appeared instantly.

King Kong Ape hurriedly pulled its fist back and tried to rub the rusted area with its other hand, only to find that it wouldn't come off at all.

Seeing this, Blood Asura didn't dare to strike rashly, fearing that its precious Death Scythe would be eroded.

Beauty Snake immediately moved out, spitting three mouthfuls of venom—pfft, pfft, pfft!—onto the Steel Giant Beast.

Immediately, the areas of the Steel Giant Beast touched by the venom began to corrode.

-3000! -2500! -2500!

Lin Nuoyi's eyes widened instantly: "Beauty Snake's damage is so high this time."

Ye Chen realized that this poison-attribute attack had a clear restraining effect on the Steel Giant Beast.

Flower Fairy whipped out her vines, wrapping them back and forth between the Steel Giant Beast's skeletal frame.

The Steel Giant Beast began to shake again, and the rust started to spread onto the vines.

Flower Fairy did not retreat. She had already equipped the photosynthesis potion, and the areas eroded by the rust began to self-repair.

The rust faded away bit by bit, and new vines grew out once again.

Flower Fairy let out a low shout, and five flower seeds blossomed beneath the Steel Giant Beast.

The moment they blossomed, they emitted a violent explosion.

-5000! -5000! -5000! -5000! -5000!

The five explosions dealt 25000 damage to the Steel Giant Beast.

The Steel Giant Beast suddenly opened its mouth wide, trying to bite the vines Flower Fairy was using to wrap around it.

Flower Fairy retracted them at high speed and took out the Thorn Prickly Spear with her other hand.

Pew, pew, pew! She fired all eighteen rounds.

-2900!

The Steel Giant Beast was instantly enraged, its entire body of steel bars trembling.

Suddenly, all the steel bars on the Steel Giant Beast's body actually scattered.

Then, they began to reassemble.

Suddenly, a steel man appeared before them.

Zhu Qiang said dumbfoundedly: "Is this a transforming steel man?"

Blood Asura let out a cry and, taking advantage of the moment the Steel Giant Beast had just finished reassembling, slashed directly at its back.

The sharp Death Scythe instantly cut five steel bars in half.

-9000!

As the steel bars broke, the Steel Giant Beast's body suddenly tilted.

Its entire torso began to lean backward.

King Kong Ape seized the opportunity and activated Berserk.

It jumped onto the Steel Giant Beast and hammered it, punch after punch.

-6000! -6000! -6000!

King Kong Ape's three punches were immensely powerful.

After activating Berserk, its damage had improved qualitatively.

The Steel Giant Beast suddenly roared, emitting a clanging cry, and the steel bars on its abdomen suddenly shot out.

King Kong Ape failed to dodge in time and was struck in the thigh by a steel bar.

The steel bar was embedded directly into King Kong Ape's thigh, but King Kong Ape didn't care in the slightest and pulled the steel bar out of its leg.

With the steel bar in its hand, it whipped it against the Steel Giant Beast.

Tie Niu shouted: "King Kong Ape, well done!"

With the steel bar in its hand, King Kong Ape no longer feared the Steel Giant Beast's rust.

Lin Nuoyi chuckled softly: "Compared to yesterday's stitched humanoid fox, this Steel Giant Beast is much worse!"
