nThe night had passed. The next morning, everyone woke up.

n

n

nVincent did not instruct his team to fight on that day. Instead, he spent the whole day explaining to his team the data he had collected from the battles with the lord-class monsters.

n

n

n

n

nHe initially planned on explaining the data to his team the night before. However, he did not have the opportunity to as everyone was tired.

n

n

nAfter everyone had gained some knowledge of the battles, their expressions became somewhat solemn.

n

n

n“Vincent, according to the data you’ve collected, the monsters have grown,” said Teacher Chris whilst frowning. She was worried.

n

n

n“Grown? What do you mean?” asked Vincent. He was confused.

n

n

n

n

nTeacher Chris took a deep breath. “The Monster Guide that we have right now is from a year ago. Compared to previous years, the monsters haven’t changed much. However, from the data you’ve collected this time, the monsters have grown much faster than before,” said Teacher Chris.

n

n

nEveryone’s expressions became solemn after hearing what Teacher Chris had said.

n

n

nThis meant that humans were unaware that something had happened, something that allowed monsters to grow and improve so much.

n

n

nVincent’s heart trembled. He could vaguely guess what had happened. However, he could not tell anyone about it.

n

n

n

n

nIt was of great importance, and it was not something for everyone present to know.

n

n

n10,000 races of the Black Hole!

n

n

nVincent recalled the special rewards that were given to him by the system. The most recent items were all related to the 10,000 races of the Black Hole. He had also obtained information regarding the 10,000 races of the Black Hole when he unintentionally entered the Utopia Fantasy Land.

n

n

nAll the information seemed to be handed to Vincent by a pair of invisible hands.

n

n

n“Whether the monsters are growing or not, this has very little to do with us. What we need to do is to complete the mission, collect the latest data on high-class monsters and send it back to Quinn.”

n

n

nVincent clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention.

n

n

n

n

n“Everyone, you need to be more careful from now on. If you encounter a battle that you can’t handle, don’t linger in it. Hurry up and leave. Everyone’s safety is the most important thing of all.”

n

n

nEveryone nodded and continued the hunt.

n

n

nThe days passed by quickly. After three months, everyone had become high-level superpowered users. Teacher Chris and Chris had also become special-class superpowered users.

n

n

n“From today onwards, our opponents will be lord-class monsters. Everyone needs to be more careful than before,” said Vincent.

n

n

nVincent looked at everyone with a serious expression.

n

n

nEveryone nodded after hearing Vincent’s order.

n

n

nFor the past three months, they had been fighting non-stop every day. This resulted in everyone giving off a sharp and murderous aura.

n

n

nChris, in particular, gave off the appearance of a human-shaped monster just by standing there. Even his companions, who had grown together with him, were unwilling to go within a meter of him.

n

n

n

n

nThe smell of blood and his killing intent was too strong. It gave off an extremely uneasy feeling.

n

n

nThey had been fighting high-class and special-class monsters for the past three months. Although they started off with many injuries, they were currently able to deal with the monsters’ attacks easily. Their growth was extremely obvious.

n

n

n“Vincent, I think we should leave this place…” said Teacher Chris in a worried tone.

n

n

nVincent was stunned and puzzled. He asked, “Teacher Chris, why should we leave?”

n

n

nTeacher Chris looked around. “For the past three months, we have killed a large number of monsters. There is a high possibility of a Monster Horde. For safety reasons, I suggest that we leave as soon as possible.”

n

n

nVincent thought for a moment and felt that Teacher Chris’s reasoning made sense.

n

n

nAlthough everyone was different from three months ago, they would still die if they encountered a Monster Horde in the present.

n

n

nThe lowest level monster in a Monster Horde was high-class. It was hard to imagine just how powerful the monsters that organized the Monster Horde were.

n

n

n“Teacher Chris is right. It’s time for us to leave,” said Vincent.

n

n

nVincent nodded and began to figure out which direction they should head to.

n

n

n“Based on my observations, during this period of time, the distribution of monsters in the south is relatively much less. We’ll head south.”

n

n

n“As long as we pass the territory of the lord-class monsters, we’ll probably be safer.”

n

n

nEveryone nodded and agreed with Vincent’s decision.

n

n

n

n

nAlthough there were overlord-class monsters after 6,000 meters, there were still very few of them. As long as they were careful, it would definitely be safer than staying in the cave.

n

n

nIn fact, according to Vincent’s investigation, no one knew about the situation beyond 10,000 meters away. This made him even more curious.

n

n

nThis was because the monster branch was too similar to the human branch. Vincent even wondered if it was possible to find a city that was made up entirely of monsters.

n

n

nEveryone packed up, took their pets, and headed south.

n

n

nAll the monsters within 3,000 meters could not cause any damage to the seven of them. They walked past easily.

n

n

nWhen they were 4,000 meters away, Vincent suddenly stopped and frowned.

n

n

n“Vincent, what’s wrong?” asked Angelina.

n

n

nVincent did not answer Angelina, but his eyes suddenly widened.

n

n

n“Retreat immediately!”

n

n

nEveryone had learned to trust Vincent after such a long time. No one questioned his orders. They all retreated immediately.

n

n

nThey did not stop retreating until they were two kilometers away.

n

n

n“Vincent, what happened just now?” asked Angelina whilst panting.

n

n

nVincent frowned as he looked around. He then revealed a bitter smile.

n

n

n“Everyone, we’re surrounded.”

n

n

n“What?”

n

n

nEveryone was shocked.

n

n

nSurrounded?

n

n

nBeing surrounded there was not a good thing. As for what had surrounded them, it was obvious.

n

n

n“Get ready for battle. It’s going to be a tough battle.”

n

n

nVincent pulled out his Purgatory Blade and commanded his monster army. The monsters stood in front of everyone.

n

n

nJust as Vincent finished arranging everyone’s battle positions, the earth started to shake violently.

n

n

n“Hundreds of Killer Bees in the east! Thousands of high-class monsters on the ground!”

n

n

n“Dozens of Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolves in the south!”

n

n

n“Thousands of Gold-Eating Rats in the West!”

n

n

n“Thousands of Underground Lizards in the north!”

n

n

nSwire was flying in the sky. He was observing the situation around him.

n

n

nWhen everyone heard Swire’s voice, their hearts were as dead as ash.

n

n

nIn this group of monsters, the lowest level was high-class monsters. In total, there were over 10,000 of them.

n

n

nVincent could not just sit and wait for death. With a flip of his left hand, a cluster of World-Cleansing Fire appeared in his palm.

n

n

nVincent was prepared to enter a bitter battle at any time. He had the World-Cleansing Fire in his left hand and his Purgatory Blade in his right hand.

n

n

nIf it was just him, he would have thought of many ways to escape from the encirclement. However, everyone was there. As the leader, there was no way for him to escape alone.

n

n

nThe only thing left to do was to fight to the death.

n

n

n“In a while, let the pets go first. Each of you, please conserve your strength and listen to my orders. Prepare to break out of position at any time!”

n

n

nEveryone agreed. They were focused.

n

n

n“The Killer Bees are still 30 meters away! The monsters on the ground are still less than 60 meters away!”

n

n

n“The Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf is preparing an elemental attack!”

n

n

n“The Gold-Eating Rat is still 50 meters away!”

n

n

n“The Underground Lizards have disappeared!”

n

n

nSwire reported the situation once again. He started to shoot at the Killer Bees with his psionic pistol.

n

n

nThe Iron-Feathered Eagle that was carrying Swire did not hesitate to attack. It spread its wings. Countless of its black feathers turned into sharp arrows. It then shot the arrows at the Killer Bees.

n

n

n“Fight to the death!” shouted Vincent.

n

n

nAll the monsters under his control started to move. Each monster used its own elemental attacks to attack the incoming monsters.
