Aggregation Zone Upheaval

Cardas instantly lost over a hundred thousand HP, panicked, and turned to flee.

"Hehe, since you've come, don't think about leaving!"

Blood Asura leaped into the air and slashed directly at Cardas's head.

-150,000!

In an instant, Cardas was left with only a little over a hundred thousand HP.

With another slash, Cardas died instantly.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 620 points]

[Blood Asura has obtained 3,000 EXP]

The loot also increased by one again!

[intermediate skeleton * 2]

[Intermediate Spirit Stone * 2]

[Low-level Beast Skin * 1]

[Wind-Walking Stone * 1]

After collecting the loot, Ye Chen took Blood Asura and the other to continue walking forward.

Along the way, there were no monsters, which Ye Chen found a bit strange.

Could it be that the location where he descended was wrong?

Suddenly, hundreds of giant birds flew overhead!

They were all flying in the same direction.

Looking at the direction they were flying, it was towards a hazy mountain peak ahead.

Calling it a mountain peak would be less accurate than calling it a high point in the canyon.

"Boss? Should we go over and take a look?"

Blood Asura asked with wide eyes.

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "No need. It's already six in the evening, let's head back first. It seems there are no treasures here, and even if there were, they've likely been snatched up by the monsters here. After all, these things are useful not just to us."

This trip was still a huge profit; after all, Blood Asura had unlocked the Dark Sacred Hall.

Obtaining the Power of Dark Origin, successfully advancing, and even getting a Heaven Rank Technique—it was truly a massive gain.

The three of them took to the air and arrived above the canyon.

Looking down, everything below remained a hazy gray.

The three of them began to walk towards the Law Enforcement Alliance Provincial Department.

As they approached the Law Enforcement Alliance Provincial Department, Ye Chen recalled Blood Asura and Dark Ji into the Pet Nest.

Outside the gate of the Law Enforcement Alliance, there were still people standing there.

It looked like they were collecting the firearms.

Ye Chen stepped forward and handed over the firearm.

"Brother, how did it work for you?" the man asked with a smile.

"It was quite good, very easy to use!"

Although Ye Chen hadn't used it, he still said it was quite good.

After returning the firearm, Ye Chen continued walking inside. At this time, the stalls on both sides of the road had been set up again.

By the end of November, it got dark quite early; before seven o'clock, it had already turned completely dark.

The streetlights on both sides of the road had been turned on, and all sorts of people were there looking for the things they needed.

That little girl did not come today.

Suddenly, Ye Chen sensed a change in the Alchemist.

[Alchemist]

Level: LV33

Stage: Juvenile

Skill: Fire Strike

Innate Skill: Wrath Lotus. The Alchemist releases a fire lotus, causing area-of-effect damage. Enemies at the center of the fire lotus receive a 3s stun effect. The Alchemist deals 50% extra damage to enemies hit by the fire lotus and provides teammates with 33% HP recovery, as well as a 33% increase in attack power, movement speed, and defense!

Attribute: Fire

Rank: Saint Grade (Rank 7)

Talent: Myriad Spring Hands (Awakened)

Talent Awakening: Blessing and Curse: When the Alchemist performs a blessing, it can restore 50% HP to allies and provide a 50% attribute bonus, lasting 300s; the curse causes a 30% reduction effect on enemies, lasting 30s.

Divine Artifact: None

Combat Power: 39900

HP: 455,000

EXP: 10,000 / 410,000

The Alchemist actually reached LV33!

The EXP Ye Chen had previously obtained was only enough for the Alchemist to level up once, which meant that the Alchemist had already leveled up twice while with Aoun.

I really don't know how Aoun managed to do that.

But the Alchemist leveling up is a good thing regardless.

At a roadside stall, Ye Chen spent another 150,000 gold coins to purchase some Yellow Rank EXP Grass.

He returned to his room and began refining.

While obtaining 150,000 EXP, the Alchemist's Rank finally reached Profound Rank.

Profound Rank Stage 1 200 / 10,000

With the increase in stages, just like pet leveling, the required EXP also became more and more.

Even with his Three-Legged Cauldron, which had a 100% success rate for refining, leveling up was still so difficult.

One can imagine the difficulty for those without a Three-Legged Cauldron.

The Monster Chat Room suddenly chimed.

It was a message sent from the Law Enforcement Alliance general group.

[Tomorrow at 10:00 AM, members of the Vanguard Army at the Minister level and above, as well as core personnel of the eighteen military departments, are to gather in the conference room]

At this moment, White Leaf also sent a message to Ye Chen.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen, you are a core member of the Holy Guard Army, remember to arrive on time tomorrow!"

Seeing this, Ye Chen replied to White Leaf, "Understood, thank you!"

He took stock of today's gains.

The various fragments had all reached 35; there were still over sixty more needed.

The chat room chimed again; it was a video call from Yu Nian.

Ye Chen pressed answer.

Yu Nian, Zhu Qiang, and the other three were gathered together, looking at Ye Chen with joyful faces.

"Brother Chen, how have you been lately? Are you doing well?"

"How is it over there? If you're not doing well, just come back!"

Zhu Qiang and Tie Niu chuckled.

Ye Chen was a bit helpless and laughed, "What? Do you two hope so much that I'm doing poorly so I'll come back?"

"Hehe, no, we just missed you!"

Yu Nian said, "When will you come back to visit? If you don't have time, we'll come over to see you!"

"Soon. Give it some time. After a while, I'll head back, and we'll go explore the Hell Secret Realm together. By the way, how is the situation over there?"

Tang Qiu's expression was a bit grim as she said, "The situation is not optimistic. After the world underwent a great change, everything has changed. Except for the Safe Zone which still remains, all other places have undergone earth-shaking changes. Many powerful monsters have appeared. We have to be very careful every time we go out now. Moreover, after you left, quite a few other factions also came here."

"Hmm?" Ye Chen frowned. "What is going on? Didn't you tell Wang Zhan?"

Tang Qiu said with a helpless face, "We told him, but Wang Zhan said the situation is critical and things happened suddenly, so we need to unite and share resources. There are many people in other places who often clash over treasures, so he tacitly allowed people from other factions to come here. If it weren't for Leader Mo Sang, the Darkness Alliance Leader, and Leader Chen joining forces to guard it, I'm afraid the Safe Zone would have already been taken away."

A trace of anger rose in Ye Chen's heart. It seemed that after he left, no one took him seriously anymore.

Lin Nuoyi suddenly said, "By the way, Elder Fire Feather and the others have returned. A very powerful monster descended where Xuan Nu is, and Xuan Nu was no match for it at all. If Xuan Nu hadn't agreed to become that monster's slave, Elder Fire Feather and the others would have lost their lives. Sigh, the entire Z City is not looking good right now!"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Hmm, I understand. I will head back there in a few days."

"No need, the journey is too dangerous. We are doing fine here! You should just focus on your Cultivation there!" Yu Nian quickly said.
