Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Pilgrimage

Nowadays on Earth, the number of monsters far exceeds that of humans. Every once in a while, there would be a monster attack on cities. Although humans have managed to hold their ground, they are always in a passive defensive state.

Monster attacks on cities are not disorganized; they are commanded by a high-level monster.

The lowest rank of this commander is A-level; B-level monsters cannot command other monsters to attack a city.

On land, A-level monsters have already become very rare. Those Advanced War

General teams and War God-level teams, if they know of the appearance of an A-level Mutant Beast, will definitely go to kill it immediately. Not only can they earn a lot of profits, they can also prevent monster attacks on cities.

So it is normal for A-level monsters to rarely appear around Base City, and it is normal for Shi Lei and his team not to know about this situation.

Or maybe they know, but just didn’t think about it.

All the teams are present now, seeing the monsters not taking the initiative to attack, everyone put forth their greatest effort to kill them.

Those slightly weaker monster groups were all targeted one by one by each team’s snipers, luring them out of the monster horde and killing them one by one.

“Kill the Mutated birds first! Get rid of all these flying things!”

This is the consensus of Martial Artists when hunting: first kill the Mutated bird group, otherwise when retreating, it would be difficult to escape from the pursuing Mutated birds, not to mention that the bird group in the sky serves as a beacon for other monsters to follow; they must be killed first.

Gunshots sounded around the square, and the mutated bird flock rapidly decreased. After a while, the Cold Crow group was wiped out.

After clearing the Cold Crows, people began to clean up the low-level Mutated Beasts.

With eight teams and forty Martial Artists working together, their efficiency was astonishing. Half a day later, the monster groups in the square had thinned out, and it was almost impossible to find any F-Level and E-Level Mutated Beasts.

Although the number of monster groups had been reduced by half, the remaining ones consisted mostly of D-Level and some C-Level Mutated

Beasts, most of which were gathered around the entrance of the gymnasium.

The Martial Artists simply ate some food to restore their strength and then excitedly resumed their afternoon battles. In their view, the killings in the morning were just appetizers; only the afternoon killings marked the beginning of making money, as these D-Level and C-Level Mutated Beasts were valuable.

Under the incentive of money, the Martial Artists seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, and they began killing frantically, with even some injured people refusing to rest.

“Old Gao, target Fiery Mane Horses! These creatures are born as D-Level and become C-Level when they mature, just like Ironclad Bulls but easier to deal with, only faster. With the armored vehicle as our support, they can’t charge up.”

“Alright! These Fiery Mane Horses are ours!” Gao Yan responded and prepared to snipe them with his rifle.

“Boom!”

Before Gao Yan could fire, an artillery shell exploded in the center of the Fiery Mane Horses’ group, killing a young horse on the spot and wounding more than a dozen others.

The group of Fiery Mane Horses became furious and, no longer caring about watching the gymnasium, they ran towards the direction of the gunfire.

However, during their sprint, sniper shots occasionally rang out, knocking down batches of Fiery Mane Horses.

By the time they reached the location, there were only five left, which posed no real threat to the team.

“Damn it! It’s those people from Demon God again! Those Fiery Mane Horses were closer to us, but they didn’t attack their own and instead stole ours.” Gao Yan cursed angrily.

“Brother Gao, let it go. It’s each team’s skill in killing monsters in the field. Just wait for an opportunity to snatch them back.” Lin Zhen advised.

Gao Yan nodded, picked up his sniper rifle, and began calling out targets for other monsters.

There were originally about 10,000 monsters on the square, but after a day of killing by the eight teams, there were fewer than 1,000 left by dusk.

A few hundred C-Level and D-Level monsters gathered around the gymnasium, now seemingly posing no threat to the Martial Artists.

After a day of killing, these Martial Artists were tired, but their excitement had completely overwhelmed their exhaustion.

At this point, every squad’s armored vehicle was loaded with a lot of spoils of war. After clearing out the last of these, they could basically go home full-loaded.

“We can!”

“We must persist! We came here to make money. If we can handle fifty of these few hundred, we can make two billion!”

Lin Zhen looked at some excited teammates and suddenly said, “I think we can stop now.” “Why? Other teams are ready to go all out. Why should we stop?” Ye Tiancheng asked Lin Zhen somewhat incomprehensibly. Lin Zhen looked at Shi Lei, “Captain, have you heard of the term ‘pilgrimage’?” “Pilgrimage!” Hearing this, Shi Lei suddenly gasped.

“Pilgrimage, isn’t that when a monster is about to evolve to A-level? You mean… these monsters are on a pilgrimage?”

“Of course, generally speaking, the evolution of A-level monsters takes a whole day, or twenty-four hours. We have been here for over sixteen hours now. And before we came, these monsters had gathered here. Otherwise, how could our operation in the county town go so smoothly?”

Lin Zhen pointed at the high-level monsters gathered at the entrance of the stadium who paid no attention to the surrounding Martial Artists, “Look at these, if these monsters weren’t so tame, it would be impossible for us to act smoothly here. Based on the situation after we entered the county town, I estimate that these monsters have been here for at least twenty hours. As soon as the A-level monster completes its evolution, this place will turn from heaven to hell. So I think it’s still possible to leave now.”

Several people in the team looked solemn. They had already gained a lot from this trip. One day’s killing, plus the previous few iron-armored bulls, their gains were already almost two billion.

But the monsters in front of them were elites, and they were reluctant to give up.

In the end, it was Zhao Liang who spoke first, “So Lin Zhen, you mean we should go back now, right?”

“Yes, the gains from this trip are already enough for everyone to indulge for a while. Knowing when to advance and when to retreat is the key to survival for a

Martial Artist.”

Zhao Liang looked at Lin Zhen, determined, and prepared to support Lin Zhen’s decision.

But just then, the Martial Artists of the other squads took action again.

The immobile Mutated Beasts were like a pile of gold and silver mountains, how could these Martial Artists who lived on the edge of the blade not go to kill them?

Some Martial Artists must have also thought of the pilgrimage, but they did not want to give up. Doesn’t the pilgrimage take twenty-four hours? Maybe they still have time, they want to take a gamble, this is the general mentality of Martial Artists.

Seeing that several people from Demon Hunter had successively knocked down three C-levels, Ye Tiancheng couldn’t help but say to Shi Lei, “Captain, let’s just kill for another two hours, we can make at least tens of millions, even billions!”

Shi Lei hesitated for a moment, looked at several people, and asked, ‘What’s your opinion?”

Ye Tiancheng took the lead, “I suggest staying and killing for a while. How can we leave when we came out to hunt giant palm bears and didn’t even see their

Zhao Liang said, “I agree with Lin Zhen’s opinion. It’s time to leave now, we’ve made enough.”

Gao Yan said, “I also agree with Lin Zhen and Old Zhao’s opinions, the gains from this trip, including the gambling winnings, are enough.”

Lin Zhen looked at Shi Lei, “Captain, what do you say?”

Shi Lei rubbed the sword in his hand, and made up his mind, “I want to stay.” historical

Hearing that Shi Lei and Ye Tiancheng had the same opinion, Zhao Liang spoke again, “Lin Zhen, since the captain and the others are willing to stay, let’s stay.

With a new understanding of Lin Zhen’s true strength, Zhao Liang already had a taste of putting Lin Zhen in the lead.

However, Lin Zhen, who did not want to propose leaving, shook his head, “No, Brother Zhao and Brother Gao, you guys go. I’ll stay..”
