"A Pet Tamer, and three ordinary people?" Ye Chen's brow slightly furrowed.

Could it be that someone is trapped here? Or is it?

Lin Nuoyi nodded slightly and said, "That's right, indeed it's a Pet Tamer and three ordinary people, they seem to be around us."

As she spoke, she looked to the side, her gaze falling on a collapsed building nearby.

Ye Chen said, "Let's go take a look."

Led by Lin Nuoyi, the group found an entrance piled with debris, just large enough for one and a half people, leaving only a narrow hole through which only one person could barely squeeze in.

The five of them went in one by one. Inside, it was pitch-black.

Just as Ye Chen turned on the Exploring Lamp, he saw a snarling monster standing before them.

The monster was entirely black, with its sharp lower teeth tightly wrapped over the upper ones.

Its large yellow-orange eyes stared at the five of them.

[Hellhound]

Level: LV11

Tier: Ordinary

Attribute: Earth

Combat Power: 8100

Blood Volume: 21000

The Hellhound howled and lunged at Ye Chen and his group.

Due to the limited space, the Vajra Ape was unsuitable to come out, and the Blood Asura instantly appeared, swiftly slaying the Hellhound with a single strike, without any hesitation.

[Congratulations on obtaining 130 points]

Lin Nuoyi glanced at the monster's corpse and said, "Not on this level, it seems to be below."

Ye Chen nodded; this was an old community, beneath which there were usually warehouses or storage rooms.

The group walked together, heading slowly toward the entrance below.

The entrance was almost completely blocked by debris, with only a small hole just large enough for a person to squeeze through.

After passing through the debris pile, the space ahead opened up.

Yu Nian looked back at the pile and said, "Why do I feel this is different from the one at the entrance? This debris pile seems intentionally placed."

Ye Chen had the same feeling, because the debris was piled in a rather orderly manner, not like a haphazard accumulation of fallen stones.

Moreover, this was the only place on the first level like this.

After turning a corner, they heard a rustling sound, like a tiger walking over a wet surface.

Ye Chen raised his hand to signal the group to stop, and they quickly held their breath.

Ye Chen whispered, "It's a monster."

The four nodded, looking at Ye Chen, awaiting his instructions.

Ye Chen took the first step to the corridor of the lower level, directing the Exploring Lamp forward.

A tall and robust four-limbed monster appeared under the Exploring Lamp's light.

[Lael]

Level: LV23

Tier: Advanced

Attribute: Water

Combat Power: 21000

Blood Volume: 242000

Race: Wild Race

Another Wild Race monster, known for its quick action and attack speed, and intelligence higher than that of the Lost Race and Giant Beast Race.

"An advanced monster?" Zhu Qiang whispered.

Iron Bull and Beauty Snake were about to summon their pets but were stopped by Ye Chen.

"The environment is unsuitable for Vajra Ape and Beauty Snake to fight, the space is too small, and Vajra Ape can't even unleash its Frenzy. Let me handle it."

Pet or monster, they all have limitations and cannot engage in battle any time or place.

Iron Bull and Lin Nuo nodded, stepping aside.

Blood Asura and Dark Princess appeared simultaneously, both hovering in mid-air, while the Heaven-Slaying Short Sword and Blood God Scythe reflected a chilling glow under the Exploring Lamp.

Lael had broad shoulders, tall front limbs, but slightly shorter hind limbs, with its body narrowing towards the back.

With a shriek, Blood Asura charged at Lael.

Roar!

Lael let out a muffled roar, raising its claw to meet Blood Asura.

Blood Asura didn't dodge, opting for a head-on clash with Lael.

The Blood God Scythe met Lael's claw, swish.

The sharp Blood God Scythe sliced through the claw, and in the blink of an eye, something fell to the ground.

Lael's front claw had a chunk of flesh sliced off.

Dark Princess took the opportunity to reach Lael's back.

Ghostly Eight Linked Slash!

In a flash, Dark Princess slashed Lael's back eight times.

Immediately, crimson blood poured from Lael's back.

Dark Princess displayed an artistic flair, carving a cross-shaped wound on Lael's back.

Roar!

Lael turned its head sharply, opening its mouth to bite the Dark Princess on its back.

Dark Princess planted a foot on Lael's back, leaping into the air.

Her eyes filled with mockery as she looked at Lael.

Feeling Lael's fierce gaze, her lips curled into a sardonic smile.

Dark Princess hummed twice, making Lael look forward.

A face, with a sinister smirk yet innocent eyes, stared back.

Swish!

The Blood God Scythe came crashing down.

-32000!

The Blood God Scythe slashed across Lael's face.

A spray of vibrant red blood erupted, and one of Lael's eyes was severed by the Blood God Scythe.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The searing pain made Lael howl in agony.

At this moment, Lael was completely disoriented.

Its tail thrashed like a steel whip, randomly lashing out.

The walls hit by it would bear noticeable gashes.

Buzz! Buzz! Gurgle gurgle!

A boiling sound resounded in the corridor.

"Damn, Blood Asura and Dark Princess have enraged Lael to the point of steaming, no, bubbling!"

Lael emitted steam all over, gurgling like boiling water.

"This thing is about to unleash a big move! Quick, retreat!"

Ye Chen and his group hastily stepped back, while Blood Asura and Dark Princess also withdrew.

Boom!

A loud explosion.

The bubbles on Lael's body burst, with drops of water like sharp swords shooting toward them.

Flower Fairy seized the chance to appear, blocking the oncoming water blades with a large green vine net.

The vines were thick and exceptionally verdant.

Compared to before, it seemed to have evolved.

After the sound ceased, Flower Fairy withdrew the vines.

Whoosh!

"Damn, this sneaky dog was lying in ambush!"

Lael swung its claw at them.

Flower Fairy reacted swiftly, casting her vines again, binding the charging Lael in mid-air.

Lael kept growling low, biting and tearing at the vines with its mouth and teeth.

No one expected Lael's teeth to be so sharp, biting off a section of vine and swallowing it whole.

Zhu Qiang chuckled and cursed, "This dog's got good teeth, not picky at all, eating greens too!"

Blood Asura slowly approached Lael, raising the Blood God Scythe high, and brought it down on Lael's neck.

-35000!

Dark Princess kept slashing at Lael.

-23000!

-24000!

Before long, Lael was beaten down to just 15,000 blood volume.

It was already covered in wounds.

Lael struggled for a long time and was already panting with exhaustion from being beaten like this.

Its one remaining eye had lost its luster and was dim under the Exploring Lamp's shine.

"Great Destruction!"

With the fall of Ye Chen's Thunder Shocking Blade,

Lael's neck bent.

Collapsed to the ground.
