Monsters are very strong and reckless. Ordinary battles are like them being in a berserk state. They have extraordinary combat power, extremely high pain resistance, and their magic power gives them a certain immunity to spiritual power.
But there is a price!
Traded for IQ.
For example, ordinary spirit beasts can speak some human language when they reach the fifth level, and their IQ is not low. Those with superior talents and races can do it at the fourth level. Some spirit beasts that are well versed in the ways of the world are also very shrewd and calculating.
But monsters are different. Except for demons and a very small number of monster leaders, most monsters are ferocious beasts that obey their primitive desires.
Fighting, gluttony, destruction and reproduction are their only goals in the world.
Therefore, it is normal for them to fall into Chen Zhong's trap, not to mention that they have the assistance of Yang Qin, who is at the Grandmaster level, to assassinate the best or the troublemakers among the monsters.
After all, no one had ever planned this way against the monsters in the maze. Compared to the fearful lives of the monsters in the cave, the monsters in the maze could be described as comfortable and at ease.
They have never suffered such injustice!
On the third day of killing monsters, the monster leaders on the upper levels surrendered one after another. Although they could not understand or communicate, they had strong perception abilities and were deeply afraid of Green Corpse Cold.
More and more monsters gave in, and all the monsters from the first to the eleventh level were recruited into the legion. The creation mode was activated again and again, and the soul threads of the master-servant contract had grown to nearly a thousand.
But Chen Zhong hesitated to go further down. The seven floors starting from the twelfth floor were all purgatory-level. Even a Grandmaster had to be careful when entering and always be on guard against being swallowed by the demonic tide.
The lower realm is at most eighteen levels deep. If you want to go further down, you must cross a magic sea. This magic sea is similar to the ladder to the upper realm and is considered the dividing line of strength.
Rumor has it that there is a sixth-level monster lurking on the nineteenth floor!
Of course, the Demon Sea is for monsters to use. Normal people only need to ascend to the upper realm and they can directly enter the nineteenth floor from the maze entrance of the upper realm.
…
Just when Chen Zhong was making trouble in the maze, a group of visitors came to the Tianyan Academy.
A member of the Lei family, one of the three major families of the Chiyan Empire!
The leader was the Fengyun brothers’ second cousin, Lei Shaotian, who was at the seventh level of the Soul Tempering Realm.
The strongest member of the Lei family is the current patriarch Lei Shaoyu, who is at the peak of the ninth level of the Soul Tempering Realm and is one step away from the Grandmaster Realm.
The strength of the Lei family and the Yan family is probably similar to that of the Jinxiu Pavilion without its old Pavilion Master among the spiritual martial arts forces. The Sima family is much stronger because it has a master-level expert in charge. However, the Sima family has fewer secular industries, and its financial resources and influence are weaker than the other two. In this comparison, there is actually not much difference between the three major families.
In fact, what they are really proud of is not the combat power of the spiritual warriors, but the influence on the social structure of the Chiyan Empire.
They are involved in a wide variety of industries, and all chambers of commerce, large and small, have more or less cooperative relations with them. Once a family encounters a major problem, only the royal family can intervene and spend a huge amount of money to regulate it in order to stabilize the situation.
Lei Shaotian's mission on this trip was ostensibly to donate a huge sum of money to Tianyan Academy, hoping that they would take better care of the Fengyun brothers.
The real purpose was actually to come and see Chen Zhong!
The four brothers Fengyun and Yan had all mentioned Chen Zhong in the family. At that time, the adults in the family did not take it seriously and let the younger generation handle the younger generation's affairs.
After all, this is not a plot in a novel. If you beat the younger one, the older one will come, and if you beat the older one, the older one will come. It is not so easy to kill an entire family for the slightest offense.
The higher you stand, the more you need to restrain your words and actions, and the main thing is to guard against real threats from all sides.
Moreover, the empire issued the most stringent law when it was founded: excessive internal consumption is strictly prohibited, and every spiritual warrior is a precious spark in the fight against the demon cave.
The three major families under the king's feet seem to be the most dissolute, but in fact they live on a steep and dangerous cliff.
As for why the Lei family made an exception?
It’s all because of Yan Chong’s seriousness two days ago.
The Lei and Yan families are close, and the elders are very clear about Yan Chong's character. He is experienced and ruthless, plans before acting, mature and calm, and is not the kind of person who talks nonsense.
But this time, Yan Chong recounted the entire story about Chen Zhong from beginning to end, and pleaded with the elders to realize the seriousness of the matter and let them know that this teenage freshman was extraordinary and had unlimited potential.
Yan Chong had to admit that he felt palpitations and fear for the first time. Chen Zhong's growth rate far exceeded his expectations, and he had an illusion that Chen Zhong seemed to have never exposed his true limits.
It seems that there are very few people who have seen him fight, and even his good friends in Shangshanmen don’t know much about him.
"It's terrifying to think about it. If we can't turn this guy into a friend, we have no choice but to get rid of him!"
After Yan Chong finished telling his thoughts in detail, his father, the head of the Yan family, couldn't help but say this.
The two families got along well, and considering that Chen Zhong was a genius that Tianyan Academy was paying attention to, they decided to send a more stable person to test the waters first.
So, Lei Shaotian came.
After asking this question, they found out that Chen Zhong was not in the academy. So after a few polite exchanges, Lei Shaotian led a large group of people to the Zhongyue Maze Town.
Well... they don't know what they will face next.
"I heard that riots continued to break out in the maze after we left?" Lei Liyun asked anxiously, looking like he didn't really want to enter.
"It seems so, otherwise the town wouldn't be so lively." Yan Zhen found that the number of people gathered in the town was several times more than before.
The Fengyun brothers and Yan Zhen had completely become bystanders. They followed him because they wanted to see Chen Zhong being humiliated.
