I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 316 Monster Abomination

Human race, third-tier strength type, strength: twelve.

Under the surveillance of the Heavenly Eye, this young girl's strength was ordinary, not even ranking in the middle. But even so, she came here without hesitation, her purpose being to help those who were homeless.

"You said someone has already cleaned this place?" Jiang Yuan asked in a low voice.

“Yes, the people from the camp left half an hour ago. They were led by a captain named Xue Yuanzheng!” the young girl said, counting on her fingers.

"More and more monsters are pouring into Building Seven!" Ning Yanlan frowned. The message from Shi Zhixi must be correct.

"Impossible! The people in the camp have already killed the strongest sixth-tier monster. Tianlan Huating is definitely safe!" The young girl looked doubtful.

“Yeah, I didn’t sense any monster presence either!” the boy who came with us chimed in.

"Walk!"

Jiang Yuan ignored them and the three of them rushed towards Building No. 7.

Stone Breath's perception is never wrong. Although the camp has been cleared, it is normal for some to slip through the net, which is inevitable under the invasion of the massive beast tide.

"Be careful, the opponent isn't as weak as the girl said!" Ning Yanlan couldn't sense the opponent's level, but it certainly wasn't like the young girl said, that the strongest monster was at the sixth rank, otherwise it wouldn't be beyond her perception range.

"Seventh rank?" After killing nine-rank beings twice, Jiang Yuan no longer feared the existence of seventh-rank beings. Instead, he felt a strong urge to challenge them.

For a battle maniac like him, the best challenge is to fight against opponents of higher levels.

"It's very likely!" Ning Yanlan didn't dare to make a guarantee. Her cultivation level had stalled at the sixth rank, and she could only sense the sixth rank and below at present. She couldn't sense anything higher.

"Liu Xin, you stay here and disperse the crowd. I'll go with them to check it out!"

The young girl was about to leave after speaking, but Liu Xin pulled her back, saying, "Why are you leaving? Our task is to evacuate the crowd and take them to a safe place. This is none of your business!"

“That won’t do. We must ensure the safety of the people. If there really is a monster invasion, then our mutual aid association must investigate and find out the truth. That’s how we are responsible to those who need help,” the young girl said righteously.

"Lina, you're only at the third rank, don't get involved in the affairs of those powerful people. People's hearts are not what they used to be, be careful they don't treat you as prey!" Liu Xin said worriedly.

Such things are not uncommon in today's world.

“We’re all human, how could that be!” Lina shook her head, strongly disagreeing with Liu Xin’s statement. She patted her chest confidently and said, “Alright, you take the megaphone and lead the remaining people to a safe location. I’ll go check and be right back!”

After saying that, the young girl chased after the direction in which Jiang Yuan and the other two had disappeared.

"There are humans confronting the monster!"

As they approached Building Seven, Ning Yanlan grew increasingly serious. She said in a deep voice, "At least two level six beings have died, and their deaths were very bizarre. We need to be careful!"

"Two sixth-tier beings have died!" Jiang Yuan was shocked; this loss was already enormous.

"Step back!"

Before even entering the venue, a shrill sound rang out from near Building No. 7, followed by a strong smell of blood.

"Apostle, do you know of a creature called Abomination?" Ning Yanlan suddenly stopped and asked, her eyes beneath the mask revealing a look of terror.

"Abomination?" Jiang Yuan's mind raced. He said, "I think I've fought bosses like this in games before. They must be monsters that like to sew the corpses of their enemies onto their own bodies!"

Ning Yanlan bit her lip and nodded almost imperceptibly.

"You mean? The monsters here are abominations!" Jiang Yuan guessed.

“It could be even more terrifying than hatred in the traditional sense!” Ning Yanlan said in a trembling voice.

"The world is so big, there are all kinds of monsters!" Jiang Yuan's eyes showed not fear, but excitement, a desire to explore the unknown.

After the world became bizarre and unpredictable, he went from feeling lost to enjoying it. This was a shift in the mindset of a strong person. No matter what he encountered, as long as it was an enemy, he would not hesitate to face it head-on.

"This is a demon, a demon!"

A sorrowful, fearful sound came from Building 7, followed by several people scrambling and stumbling, one of whom was Jiang Yuan's acquaintance—Xue Yuanzheng.

"Run! Let the other strong ones deal with this demon!" Xue Yuanzheng's face was filled with terror, but this time he was the last to run.

After Xue Yuanzheng's arrogance last time, Jiang Yuan felt that he was not a good person. However, judging from the way he fled this time, he was a good captain in his team. After all, he did not forget to cover the rear when fleeing from the terrifying monster.

"If you keep going forward, the Abomination has already reached the peak of the seventh rank! If you don't want to die for nothing, leave quickly!" Xue Yuanzheng ran into Jiang Yuan and the other two, but at this moment he reminded them to run for their lives.

"Go!" Leng Yue ignored Xue Yuanzheng and instead led the way towards Building No. 7, where the battle had taken place.

Her current strength far surpasses that of Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan, so she naturally takes the lead in the trio.

Seeing the three ignore his warnings and continue forward, Xue Yuanzheng was somewhat surprised, but the surprise vanished in the blink of an eye and was replaced by curses: "You don't know what's good for you! You'll regret it when you lose your lives!"

After saying that, Xue Yuanzheng left without looking back.

However, just as he turned around, a beautiful figure flashed past his eyes, and he asked in surprise, "Is a third-tier being courting death?"

However, Lina didn't hear it at all; her heart was set on helping more people.

"Damn, are all the teams that came to Ximen today hot-blooded young men? They're still going to fight even when there's danger. Are they out of their minds?" Xue Yuanzheng shook his head in bewilderment. Although he had received the urgent message from Ximen, he was just going through the motions by bringing his team. He would help within his capabilities, but if it exceeded his capabilities, he wouldn't be so ruthless.

The Yuanzheng squad retreated at lightning speed. Knowing the rules of the battlefield, they understood that when facing a powerful enemy, the priority was to escape. This was not a game; if you died, you really died. Only by living could they continue to create miracles.

"Roar...useless trash...ah..."

The chaotic sounds reached Jiang Yuan's ears, and the stench of blood in the air grew stronger. Moreover, within a hundred meters, in addition to the stench of blood, there was also a very disgusting stench, which Jiang Yuan had never smelled from a living monster before.

"The smell of rotting corpses is so strong!" Leng Yue slightly raised her mask, took a good sniff, and said in confusion, "This shouldn't be the case. Ximen was breached a few hours ago. Logically speaking, even if many people died, there shouldn't be such a strong smell of decay!"

“This time we’re not just facing an ordinary monster, but a real monster!” Jiang Yuan sensed the presence of the Abomination.

"Respected deity, your people are willing to become your most loyal servants!"

Just as the hatred fully appeared before Jiang Yuan and the other two, it happened to be performing a ritual.

"Stop it, that's an advancement!"
