59: Chapter 6 The Talking Monster
He sold the Materials from three monsters.
In Lu Chen's possession,
besides that D-rank Level Ten monster,
there were six more monsters.
Seeing that the method was feasible,
next,
he began to hunt other monsters again.
Dividing them into different batches,
he went to sell them once every three hours.
He was like a berserker on a non-stop hunt,
until he had sold all nine monsters in his possession.
He arrived at the military camp once more.
This time, it wasn't just a single Clone.
Instead, two Clones went together.
They wore different colored armor,
but the identical armor style,
cool weapons,
and that flamboyant elemental energy,
all clearly indicated—
they were part of the same group.
They likely came from the same powerful organization.
Regarding Lu Chen's repeated arrivals,
Commander Liang went from initial shock
to eventually becoming somewhat numb.
Today,
he had completed transactions worth over 300 billion merit points.
In the end, he had long forgotten his previous bold words.
He raised his hands helplessly
and said with a bitter smile,
"Your Excellency, with you coming once every three hours, our cash reserves here are already insufficient."
"If you wish to continue, we can only apply for a higher limit from above."
Lu Chen's Clone gave him a faint glance
and said,
"Then apply for it. This time, we've brought a big fellow."
"What level?"
Commander Liang was taken aback
and asked curiously.
Lu Chen said nothing.
He simply tossed four bundles at Commander Liang's feet.
Commander Liang opened the bundles
and instantly held his breath.
Inside were Materials from a D-rank Level Ten monster.
And it wasn't just any ordinary monster.
It was that one.
Two months ago,
he had personally led his subordinates to capture it,
only to lose dozens of soldiers.
He recognized this beast hide at a single glance.
Then the tailbone,
and an intact Beast Core.
This monster had nearly slaughtered his entire team.
They hadn't gone to Area 13 for hunting, of course.
That area was a forbidden zone for warriors below C-Class.
Even D-rank Level Ten warriors who entered never returned.
Because a powerful C-Class Monster was entrenched there.
Furthermore, they hadn't even entered Area 13,
staying only on the outskirts.
Because that monster had tried to leave Area 13 for other regions,
they had been forced to intercept it.
Commander Liang's expression suddenly became incredibly solemn.
"How... how is this possible... How did you kill this fellow?"
"You have no need to know that,"
Lu Chen said coldly.
Commander Liang didn't press further.
He immediately paid the full 120 billion yuan,
even adding a bonus.
Their military camp shared an irreconcilable blood feud with that monster.
Before Lu Chen left,
he dropped a single sentence:
"Please keep your funds sufficient; there are more coming."
...
Lu Chen continued hunting.
Various Combat Techniques and Elemental Skills
were performed in rotation,
unleashed to his heart's content.
Once,
he even used the One Thought, Ten Thousand Lives Technique to heal a D-rank Level Ten monster.
It was purely to test the healing effects of the One Thought, Ten Thousand Lives Technique.
This dying monster recovered within seconds—
only to be killed again by a single swing of Lu Chen's sword.
A massive number of D-Class monsters were slaughtered by him.
Soon,
he had scoured nearly the entirety of Area 13,
to the point that almost no D-Class monsters remained in the entire region.
But Lu Chen didn't realize
that his ruthless slaughter had quickly drawn the attention of the lord of this territory.
Deep within the beast nest of that solitary building,
the behemoth that had been in a state of slumber suddenly opened its eyes.
Just as Lu Chen was about to kill the monster before him,
he suddenly felt a change in the air.
The surrounding elements began to fluctuate intensely.
Almost the instant he vaguely perceived these changes,
the earth trembled,
and a massive figure landed directly in front of him—
the opponent's speed was so fast, it was as if it had teleported.
It was a Black Three-Headed Giant Python with scales like iron.
Its golden pupils were as calm as an ancient well.
That was the gaze of a predator.
However, Lu Chen didn't panic much.
Lu Chen didn't even spare the apex predator a glance;
he went about finishing off the monster in front of him,
then turned his head to look at the behemoth.
His gaze met the other's gaze.
A low voice echoed through the wilderness.
It wasn't a roar,
but very mature human speech.
"ant, you dare slaughter my subordinates?"
Lu Chen was momentarily stunned.
Only then did he remember
that the textbooks had mentioned
monsters would begin to develop intelligence once they reached C-Class.
Some powerful monsters even possessed an IQ nearly identical to humans.
But having learned it in school
was a different matter from seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it with his own ears on the battlefield.
Lu Chen's eyes flickered,
then filled with fanaticism.
He could finally go all out.
Through his previous series of practice,
he had already figured out his current strength.
No monster in this area could force him to use any Combat Techniques or Elemental Skills anymore.
Before, it could only be considered playing with them;
now, he could finally unleash his full potential.
He cracked his neck,
showing no signs of backing down.
This time was different from before.
Aside from his Clones,
every other means had to be brought out.
With a single thought,
all ten levels of Sword Intent within his body erupted,
directly tearing through that invisible aura.
The three-headed giant python's six golden pupils contracted in unison.
How could this ant before it
erupt with such power?
"Roar!"
The monster opened its mouths and roared.
A massive shockwave burst forth from its middle mouth,
sweeping across a hundred kilometers.
At the distant military camp,
the faces of the soldiers changed drastically.
They said tremblingly,
"Not good. The overlord of Area 13 is angry!"
"Evacuate! Everyone, evacuate quickly!"
The entire camp instantly fell into chaos.
