Wu Shaozhen led Wu Ziyin and Silver Big Bad Wolf onward. The rest of the map was blacked out, but the center was marked. That was probably the real battlefield, the ultimate destination for every player. A huge red dot sat at the center, likely marking something big. Whoever reached it first and took it down would probably have the championship all but secured-as long as they didn't get killed.
The two kept advancing toward the center, and Wu Shaozhen easily dispatched every Bloodthirsty Beast they encountered. Although the beasts had high attack, they only had eighty thousand HP. His five stacks of poison dealt 12,000 damage per second, and with his own attacks added in, he could generally kill one in five or six seconds. Their progress was still very quick.
Compared to the Wu siblings' easy, pleasant journey, most other players were living through hell. The average player was only around level 22 or 23, and against level 30 Bloodthirsty Beasts, anyone who wasn't in a five-person party was essentially getting crushed. Wu Shaozhen's rapid leveling was partly to blame. Under normal circumstances, the Killing Battlefield wouldn't have opened for at least another day or two, when players would have had better levels and equipment and wouldn't have suffered so badly. Right now, aside from Wu Shaozhen, even Yu Fei, the highest-level player, was only level 25-a full five levels below the Bloodthirsty Beasts.
"Fuck, these monsters do way too much damage," someone started complaining on the Public Platform.
"Exactly, and they have lifesteal too. How are we supposed to fight them?"
"Killing Battlefield, my ass. Turns out we're the prey."
Fortunately, many top-tier players had realized how difficult the Killing Battlefield would be and formed parties before entering. Fighting in groups of five wasn't too hard. By
