It wasn't exactly acting, though; Gu Mingyue was indeed being chased by the monster just now.

However, that was when she was about to exhaust herself, and she deliberately didn't replenish her energy.

Having absorbed more than twenty crystal cores, Gu Mingyue's fatigue dissipated, and she was filled with power.

The monsters weren't too alarmed when they discovered that the barrier in the spatial domain had closed.

They couldn't understand Gu Mingyue's speech, but they suddenly felt that the human woman's aura had undergone a qualitative change.

The long black knife in their hands gave them a very uncomfortable feeling.

But so what?

They are above that woman in rank, and they have more than a dozen companions. How could they not defeat two level-two ability users?

"Hehehe!"

The monsters shouted at each other, flapping their wings, surrounding Gu Mingyue and Xinghe, intending to attack together, each monster biting off a piece of their flesh.

Surrounded by so many high-level monsters, Gu Mingyue was also a little nervous and raised the black ancient sword in her hand.

If this blood-sucking meteorite sword isn't the god-like sword from my previous life that could slice monsters like watermelons, then all those crystal cores would have been for nothing.

As the monsters approached, Gu Mingyue's eyes hardened, and she charged towards them with her knife in her right hand.

Just as he was about to get close to them, he swung his sword forcefully and easily severed the throats of the three monsters.

The yellow tissue fluid in the monster's wound instantly seemed to be locked onto by a vacuum cleaner, rushing out of the monster's body and flowing into the black knife. The three monsters were quickly sucked into a bluish-green skeleton.

"My goodness! I knew you were powerful, but I never expected you to be this good!" Gu Mingyue touched the quick-drying blade, then looked excitedly at the other monsters and quickly drew her sword.

Level 3 monsters have thicker skin than Level 2 monsters.

Aside from the flames from bombs, only meteorite blades can inflict some fatal damage on them, and even then, it requires someone of the same level as them to unleash power and speed capable of slicing through their skin.

Otherwise, it's like trying to exfoliate them with an eyebrow razor; you'll only manage a small cut, and even if an ordinary person uses a kitchen knife with a worn-out blade, they won't be able to remove a single bit of skin.

Now, Gu Mingyue, with just a black ancient sword, actually killed three winged membrane monsters with a single strike, and the other monsters instantly realized that something terrible was about to happen.

He stopped attacking the man in white and turned to point his claws at Gu Mingyue's back.

This woman is just as terrifying as she was on the first day they were born.

We must not let her live, otherwise it will be detrimental to their species.

However, the transparent walls prevented them from having any thoughts of ganging up on each other.

Whenever they tried to approach Gu Mingyue together, an invisible wall of air would push them far away, leaving only the monster in front of Gu Mingyue standing still.

Xinghe used his two-meter teleportation ability to move rapidly alongside Gu Mingyue, his eyes fixed on her defenseless rear.

His slender, fair fingers drew the bow and arrow, and whenever a monster tore through his defenses with its claws, he would finish it off with a meteor arrow.

The monster then realized that the man was also difficult to deal with, so it sent a group of monsters to deal with him.

Xinghe only cared about Gu Mingyue's safety. He was caught off guard several times and was viciously scratched by the monster. Unlike wounds from ordinary weapons, the monster's claws carried a dark, corrosive power.

Xinghe frowned slightly. Although the black wounds didn't cause him pain, they did give him a very uncomfortable feeling.

However, he didn't care much. Even though the monster had torn off half of his arm, he still erected the entire spatial barrier around Gu Mingyue and continued to use his broken arms to draw his bow and arrow to protect Gu Mingyue's safety.

His cold gaze could see nothing but the figure of the beautiful woman.

The remaining Level 3 Winged Membrane Monsters were utterly bewildered by their existence!

Why are they all so difficult to deal with!

One wielded a black knife that could wreak havoc on them at will, while the other could not be assimilated no matter how much it tore and bit them. There was also a transparent spherical space cover outside, making it difficult for them to escape.

These monsters that have brought endless fear to humanity these days are finally experiencing the profound sense of powerlessness people feel when facing them.

The monsters, which had just been drooling with corrosive saliva and had greedy expressions, now showed panicked faces, flapping their wings and scratching at the transparent space shield with their sharp claws.

Damn it, that's how they barged in! Why aren't they working now? Those two wretched foods are devils among humans, so evil they're practically inhuman!

"Awooo~ Awooo~ Awooo~" The two remaining monsters hurriedly shouted the retreat signal, trying to warn the other monsters to retreat quickly.

But they didn't know that the spatial barrier that prevented them from escaping could also block their voices.

They could only watch in despair as their monstrous brethren below innocently surrounded the building, attacking it relentlessly, completely unaware of the terrifying human demons they were about to face!

The two monsters flew to the highest point of the spatial domain, a distance of twenty meters. Gu Mingyue didn't have wings, so she couldn't find an opportunity to confront them head-on.

He then absorbed all ten harvested level-three crystal cores, and his mental domain expanded outward by another ten meters. His black hair instantly began to flutter and dance like seaweed in the ocean, and after three seconds, it obediently landed behind Gu Mingyue.

After the upgrade was completed, Gu Mingyue turned her gaze back to Xinghe.

There she was, a cool, elfin woman in a white uniform, with half of her shoulder bitten off by a monster.

There were several large black scratches on his body, and his clothes were torn to shreds. The black liquid gushing from the wounds contrasted sharply with his fair skin, and his face showed a pale look of someone who had suffered a serious injury.

Although still beautiful, she exudes a strong sense of brokenness.

No wonder she didn't have a single scratch on her body; it turns out Xinghe was taking the damage for her.

"These monsters actually injured you so badly!"

Seeing that the two monsters had already torn a hole in their claws and were trying to escape, Gu Mingyue's eyes grew even colder. She was determined not to let them get away.

"Xinghe, quickly throw me onto that monster's back. I'm going to kill them all today."

Unable to disobey his master's command, Xinghe crossed his hands and placed them on Gu Mingyue's knees. As Gu Mingyue climbed up, he used all his strength as a level three early-stage ability user to throw her upwards.

Gu Mingyue stepped on his palm, used the leverage to do a big somersault in the air. The two cooperated perfectly, with an excellent angle and without the slightest mistake, and landed steadily on the back of one of the monsters.

After coming to a stop, Gu Mingyue did not rush to insert the Bloodsucking Sword into the monster's body to drain it dry.

With one hand firmly gripping the monster's neck, and the other slender finger playing with the hair on her head, she picked out a wriggling black strand, her gaze sweeping over the monster beneath her, which was flapping its wings and trying to shake her off, a slightly wicked smile on her face.

I wonder how easy it is to control these flying level 3 membrane monsters!
