The group nodded, indicating they understood.

Under Huo Yu's arrangement, Dongqing and Xihu were responsible for the night watch today, and they were to report any situation immediately.

The monsters used to stay in their respective territories at night and never came out; it's unknown if the monsters now are the same.

At night, the monsters become even more fierce and violent. If you trespass into their territory, you'll face a fierce attack.

Moreover, monsters have night vision abilities several times better than humans, so choosing to fight with monsters at night is a very unwise choice.

Back in the room, the five—Ye Chen and his friends—sat together.

Zhu Qiang seemed too exhausted and lay down on the sofa, dozing off immediately.

The little one snuggled in Yu Nian's arms and was slowly falling asleep.

Yu Nian spoke up, "Ye Chen, what do you plan to do? Do you have any plans?"

Ye Chen nodded and laid out his plan, "Tomorrow, we'll go out and first clean up the surrounding monsters. With so many people staying in the safe zone, it's not ideal. Then we'll search the mountains to see if there are any humans hiding there."

Yu Nian nodded.

Ye Chen was still a bit hesitant about whether to reveal to Yu Nian and the others the secret that he had four pets.

Because Ye Chen wanted to release all his pets to hunt monsters outside, this way, leveling up would be faster.

The current situation is different from before. Previously, Pill Master and Dark Princess could just tag along and gain experience, but as the levels increase, more experience is required.

If this continues, the level gap between Pill Master and Dark Princess will only grow wider.

Finally, Ye Chen said, "Guys, there's a secret I want to tell you."

Yu Nian and Lin Nuoyi slightly frowned, their beautiful eyes sparkling as they looked at Ye Chen with curiosity.

"Do you remember when we killed Hou Qinghua, I suddenly summoned two pets?"

"Yes, I remember. Weren't you saying they were something you acquired, Brother Chen?" Iron Bull inquired.

Ye Chen laughed, "Actually, they weren't some acquired items; they're my pets."

"Ah!" Three people exclaimed.

"What's happening? What's happening?" Zhu Qiang, who had just fallen asleep, woke up startled.

Yu Nian's beautiful eyes enlarged, looking at Ye Chen curiously.

"Are you... are you serious?" Lin Nuoyi asked, dumbfounded.

Ye Chen nodded and summoned Blood Asura, Dark Princess, and Pill Master simultaneously.

A white figure, a black figure, and a red figure floated in front of the four.

The four of them had their mouths agape, staring at the three pets in awe.

"Holy crap, this is... What's going on!" Zhu Qiang jumped to his feet.

Yu Nian clasped his hands together and laughed bitterly, "Earlier, the little one said you had two more things like Blood Asura. I didn't know what it meant then, but now I do."

Lin Nuoyi twitched the corner of her mouth and smiled, "Ye Chen, you've been hiding this quite deeply, keeping it from even us for so long."

Iron Bull didn't say anything, still in deep shock.

Ye Chen retracted his pets and smiled, "Actually, I wasn't intending to keep it from you; it's just that this might be hard for you to accept, so I didn't tell you all this time."

Zhu Qiang's face instantly drooped, frowning as he said, "Brother Chen, who exactly are you, and how... how do you have three pets? By the way, what tiers are they? I couldn't see clearly just now."

Iron Bull: "Blood Asura is Tier Seven Sacred Artifact, the white figure is also Tier Seven Sacred Artifact, and that black figure is Tier Eight Immortal Beast."

"What! I... Holy crap, Tier Eight Immortal Beast, Brother Chen, are you a demon!"

Yu Nian and Lin Nuoyi also gasped.

Tier Eight Immortal Beast was already shocking for them. If Genggeng were summoned, it might literally blow their minds.

Ye Chen chuckled, "I don't know how it happened, but at one point, I felt a severe headache, and I woke up with the ability to draw three pets without any limit."

Ye Chen didn't reveal everything, simply finding an excuse. If he told the full truth, they might bombard him with questions all night.

Zhu Qiang smacked his lips, not saying anything.

Yu Nian laughed, "No wonder you're so formidable; it turns out you have three pets."

"Looks like Brother Chen is the chosen one." Iron Bull joked with a laugh.

"Alright, it's getting late; let's all go rest. Tomorrow, the five of us will head out together."

"Okay, good night!"

Everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest.

The next day.

At seven in the morning, everyone had already gathered at the gate.

After arrangements, they departed.

Ye Chen's plan was to leave in batches.

A total of fifty teams set out, following a four to two lineup.

Four Pet Tamers above LV13 level, accompanied by two low-level Pet Tamers going out.

Those above LV15 would be accompanied by two LV12 and three lower-level ones.

Such a team would have no problem hunting a LV21 or LV22 monster.

The remaining people stayed behind to guard the safe zone, protecting the youths and ordinary people.

As Ye Chen and the others were leaving, people even came to see them off, their eyes full of worry.

The five of Ye Chen left the safe zone and headed towards a nearby residential area.

Lin Nuoyi's Black Emperor's Tentacles had lost their function.

Upon reaching the entrance of a ruined residential area, Ye Chen saw two monsters fighting.

[Gobal]

Level: LV22

Tier: Ordinary

Attribute: Earth

Combat Power: 16500

Blood Volume: 210000

Race: Wild

Gobal looked exceedingly burly, with perfect lines. It was a quadruped, resembling a Komodo dragon, with lots of muscles, looking quite strong.

[Anger Praise]

Level: LV22

Tier: Ordinary

Attribute: Fire

Combat Power: 17000

Blood Volume: 240000

Race: Giant Beast

Anger Praise was huge, with fiery red skin, standing on the ground with small forelimbs and strong hind limbs.

They glared at each other, letting out roars of rage.

Another pair of low-IQ species.

If intelligence were graded out of a hundred, these two wouldn't score above 15.

As they felt someone approach, the two simultaneously looked at Ye Chen and his group.

They stopped fighting, and Gobal turned, ready to attack Ye Chen and his group at any moment.

"These two creatures... so united." Zhu Qiang cursed with a laugh.

Ye Chen whispered, "You guys wear them down; I'll handle the finish!"

"Alright, sure."

Vajra Ape dashed forward first. Perhaps drawn by the kindred spirit of giant creatures, it engaged Anger Praise.

Piggy Dragon soared into the air for harassment.

Ye Chen didn't deploy the Beauty Snake, as its innate skill had too long of a cooldown, unlike Vajra Ape, which could recover in just ten minutes.

After disclosing his secret of having three pets to Yu Nian and the others yesterday, Ye Chen didn't hesitate and summoned all his pets to attack Gobal.

In reality, Blood Asura was enough to handle it, but Dark Princess and Pill Master had too little combat experience. More battles would accumulate valuable combat experience, which was beneficial.
