The four of them walked towards the city gate as soon as they arrived outside Red Valley City.

“So you were staying here. This city looks really good.”

The refined young man looked at the city gate of Red Valley City in the distance and sighed.

“I was randomly teleported to the wilderness south of the Holy Mountain. I walked for a few days before I encountered a village.”

He shared his experience of the past few days; it seemed like he did not have a pleasant time.

The few of them chatted as they walked towards the city gate of Red Valley City. Before long, they entered the city.

It was afternoon, and Red Valley City was quite lively. There were many natives on the street who were in a hurry or were idling around.

The few of them walked to a square with tall stone statues and prepared to part ways.

“The two of you can return to the Warm Forest Inn first. I need to go to the scroll shop.”

Zhou Chen said to the tall girl and the refined young man.

“Scroll shop? I’ll go with you.”

The refined youth’s eyes lit up.

“I want to tour this peaceful and beautiful city.”

He looked around, his eyes filled with excitement as if he had found a good place.

“Sure.”

Zhou Chen immediately agreed. He thought to himself, ‘How miserable was his life in the past few days? He actually thinks that Red Valley City is peaceful and beautiful?’

“Miss Vera, we will leave first.”

He then looked at the Dragonborn.

“Alright.”

Vera nodded, but the next moment, she turned around and looked at an empty area on the side with a frown.

“Something’s wrong, I smell the aura of the abyss.”

She said in a low voice.

“The aura of the abyss?”

Zhou Chen and the others were confused.

However, a second later, Zhou Chen sensed a clear danger from the direction that Vera was looking at. Soon, he saw a long, narrow, and deep red crack suddenly appear in the air. The moment the crack appeared, it opened like a vertical eye, and a huge, blood-red monster jumped out.

“Demons! Demons have invaded!”

Vera immediately pulled out the sword from her waist and charged towards the dark red crack.

“Don’t be rash!”

Zhou Chen grabbed her and ran.

“This place is very dangerous! Retreat first!”

He had sensed strong danger from the blood-red monster that had jumped out just now. Before the blood-red monster landed, a few more terrifying ferocious monsters jumped out of the deep red crack in the sky. More and more started appearing.

“I…”

Vera seemed to be resisting the urge to escape, but she was not stupid. When she saw more and more monsters appear, she immediately gave up on fighting.

“I have to quickly inform the clan!”

She determined that this disaster was not something she could block alone. She needed help.

At this moment, the natives around them reacted. Some women screamed in fear, while some men shouted,

“Demons have invaded! Everyone, run to the city gate!”

The crowd ran towards the city gate because it was the main passage to escape this city.

However, how could these people’s speed be compared to the monsters that kept surging out of the deep red crack? Within a few seconds, they were drowned by a large group of monsters.

Instantly, the area was filled with screams, the sound of buildings collapsing, and faint chewing sounds.

Boom!

A shadow appeared in front of Zhou Chen and the others, who were fleeing on the street. A blood-red monster that looked like an insect suddenly landed in front of them, blocking their escape route.

“Leave this monster to me! Run!”

After realizing that the densely packed little eyes of the blood-red monster blocking the path were staring at him, Zhou Chen stopped and took out his steel ironwood spear, preparing to fight.

“Be careful!” “Take care!”

The tall girl and the refined young man were slightly surprised to see Zhou Chen act like this, but they still warned him and charged out of the street. For them, fighting these monsters was not beneficial at all. They would only fight when they had nowhere to run.

“Hold on! I’ll come help you soon!”

Vera did not insist on staying to fight. She needed to inform her people about the situation here so that they could send reinforcements. Her figure flashed and she quickly left the street.

Zhou Chen did not care about their decisive departure. The reason why he stopped to prepare for battle was not to show off or show his heroism, but because he knew that this place was quite far from the location of the deep red crack. There were few monsters around here, and he could try hunting them to gain some passive skills.

Before Vera and the others could run out of the street, the blood-red monster that looked like an insect charged forward like a tank, as if it did not want anyone to escape.

Zhou Chen immediately dodged to the side nimbly and dodged the monster’s rush. Then, he stabbed towards its back with his spear.

The monster seemed to have realized Zhou Chen’s intentions. The end of its long tail suddenly spewed out a ball of smoke that enveloped Zhou Chen.

“Shield!”

Seeing this, Zhou Chen decisively activated his Shield passive skill. His entire body was instantly wrapped by a transparent shield. Then, he exerted strength under his feet and jumped into the air, avoiding the smoke and landing on the monster’s back.

Before Zhou Chen could land, the winged insect-like monster reacted. It flapped its wings and accelerated, wanting to pull some distance from Zhou Chen.

“Windrun!”

Zhou Chen activated Windrun and used the floating ability to fly straight toward the monster’s head. Then, he stabbed the spear into the monster’s head.

An ear-piercing screech sounded. The blood-red monster’s wings under Zhou Chen’s feet began to flutter wildly in pain.

Zhou Chen also felt great resistance from the spear shaft. Although the sharp spearhead of the spear broke through this monster’s defense, it was quite difficult to pierce through.

“Holy Light!”

Seeing this, Zhou Chen decisively used his Holy Light skill to hit the monster’s head with the dazzling holy light ball.

The monster’s ear-piercing screech became even more intense, and its entire body began to roll on the ground.

In order to not be crushed by its body, Zhou Chen could only pull out his spear and jump away, using the Holy Light from a distance.

After ten seconds, the monster gradually stopped moving.

“According to the feedback from the Bloodthirst passive skill, it should be dead, but no passive skill dropped. Looks like I have to choose some stronger ones. Holy Light can restrain these monsters, but it consumes a lot of energy.”

Zhou Chen felt that he had to choose some special monsters to increase the chances of obtaining passive skills because he could not use Holy Light continuously.. Judging from this battle, his energy was only enough to support Holy Light for a few more of such battles.
