Eastern Peak City is located southwest of Red City, a straight-line distance of nearly 900 kilometers.
But since the emergence of black holes hundreds of years ago, the world has undergone Tilling Changes due to the invasion of monsters, energy, and rules from all sides.
The terrain and landforms mean that getting to Eastern Peak City would likely involve navigating numerous twists and turns.
This distance extends more than three times its original length.
Of course, this distance was no problem for Ling Yi and his group.
With Ling Yi and his group's current strength, if they move at full speed, they can travel two to three hundred kilometers per hour. Even if it's a distance of three thousand kilometers, they can reach it in just over a day.
But the biggest problem isn't the distance, but the monsters in the wild.
This includes Magical Beast, Demonic Beast, Zombie Beast that invaded from the black hole, as well as various Mutant Beast affected by the invasion rules and invasion energy.
Black holes are appearing more and more frequently these days, and humans simply can't control them all, especially black holes that appear in the wild, which humans basically leave unattended.
Unless a high-order, high-risk, and high-quality black hole is detected, humanity will not deploy experts to carry out tasks such as Probe, containment, destruction, and data collection.
However, most black holes are left to their own devices.
The vast majority of black holes have very short lifespans; they basically disappear after "dropping" a bunch of invading monsters.
This has resulted in the fact that there are almost no safe places in the wild nowadays.
You have no idea whether several black holes have appeared in this area recently, or how many monsters have been "released" into it.
Even though the City Defense Army in each city were doing their best to kill them, they could only protect the safety of the vicinity of the city and were powerless to achieve a true cleanup.
Moreover, this safety is relative.
At this moment, Ling Yi and his six companions were Combat a pack of wolf-like Demonic Beast.
And this place is less than 50 kilometers away from Red City.
"Seriously, I'm speechless. We've encountered six groups of Demonic Beast since we set off this morning. What are the City Guard Army doing?"
Liu Hang's Battle Qi surged, and he punched a two-meter-tall giant wolf away, expressing his dissatisfaction.
" The City Guard Army only clear out the monsters in the vicinity periodically, usually once at the beginning of each month," Bai Hai explained while firing magic missiles.
"It's almost the end of April now, just before the City Guard Army' regular clearing operation. We've essentially helped the City Guard Army clear out the monsters ahead of time."
Now everyone has accepted the term "monster" and no longer distinguishes between Magical Beast and Demonic Beast; in their eyes, they are all experience points.
Lin Xiaoxiao and the others may have been influenced by the data-driven rules of the MU World, as they can now gain experience points and level up by defeating other monsters as well.
However, the data is not entirely accurate.
Or rather, data-driven rules are also influenced by other messy rules in this world.
Although the group only walked fifty kilometers in one day, everyone advanced one or two levels.
This shows how many monsters they killed that day.
Currently, besides Ling Yi, Lin Xiaoxiao is the most efficient at killing monsters.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao was holding the " Aquagold Crossbow " cannon, followed by a golden Huangjin Dou Shi, also holding a "cannon".
Although the Huangjin Dou Shi's attack speed is slow, its damage is truly high; it can almost kill these giant wolf Demonic Beast with a single shot.
Lin Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, fired three shots in one go, thanks to the Multiple Shot effect that comes with her " Aquagold Crossbow " equipment.
At first, Ling Yi was worried that this thing would require crossbows to attack, but now it seems that it doesn't need them at all.
Lin Xiaoxiao only needs to consume Spiritual Power to activate the skill using " Aquagold Crossbow ".
These weapons and skills were naturally given to Lin Xiaoxiao by Ling Yi.
These people all had Affection of over 80, making them completely trustworthy partners, so Ling Yi no longer hesitated to be generous with them.
Gao Yuntian and the others were extremely envious; they also wanted the equipment and skills.
Unfortunately, according to Ling Yi, these equipment and skills can only be dropped by bosses.
They now wish a bunch of bosses would jump out right now and be defeated by Ling Yi, so that each of them could be equipped with a full set of gear and skills.
Of course, Ling Yi was the one who benefited the most among these people.
In addition to a massive amount of experience points, there are also a large number of skill books, but they have all automatically mutated into passive skill books.
Ling Yi had tried it; the passive skill book could only be used by the user, and it couldn't be given away.
At this moment, Ling Yi was giving the system "suggestions" again, looking quite annoyed!
"System, the skill book system is really unreasonable. Look, I Central City my inventory, and I can't use most of them. They're just gathering dust in my inventory."
"Are you really that stubborn to turn all active skills into passive skills? I just don't understand."
"Fine, I accept the passive skill!"
"What I'm saying is, is it possible to convert an active skill into a passive skill only when it's being used?"
"Ding, system is performing a check. Check successful. Functionality adjustments are in progress. Adjustment complete."
"Ding! The adjustments are as follows: First, all skill books can be converted into skill experience points, but the conversion rate for skill books of different grades is only 50% of the original skill experience points!"
"Ding, secondly, the host has the right to retain the skills dropped by boss-type monsters."
Wow, not bad!
Although it didn't meet Ling Yi's expectations, it's good that it retained the boss-type skills.
Moreover, the first adjustment is of great significance to Ling Yi at this moment.
This means that Ling Yi no longer needs to worry about upgrading any of his skills.
For example, there are three passive abilities: " Infinite Charging ", " Infinite Blink ", and " Infinite Health Recovery ".
It's either a skill rewarded by the system or a skill given by the boss.
If we continue with the previous setup, focusing on upgrading specialized skills...
There's still a slight chance to upgrade the boss's skills, but what about the skills rewarded by the system?
I have no idea what kind of monster drops good loot.
Are we just supposed to wait for the system reward? That'll take forever to level up! Or maybe we won't be able to level up at all?
Therefore, this adjustment is simply perfect.
It seems we need to give the system more "suggestions" so that it can gradually improve!
With a thought, Ling Yi opened the system interface.

" Infinite Critical Hit " is a skill that Ling Yi obtained from a group of wild boar Demonic Beast, replacing " Infinite Heavy Fist ".
It's not that " Wireless Heavy Fist " is bad, but the combos in " Infinite Heavy Fist " are really hard to handle.
" Infinite Heavy Fist " is a melee skill. Once a combo is triggered, the body becomes uncontrollably close to the target, dashing around.
Good heavens, I'm dizzy. After each combo, Ling Yi felt like there was a mosquito coil spinning in his eyes.
Whether it's effective or not isn't important. Does Ling Yi really need that much attack power right now? Or wouldn't it be better to just stand there and fight him head-on?
" Infinite Immunity " was obtained by Ling Yi from a group of mud Magical Beast.
This monster is made entirely of mud, making it immune to most non-functional attacks. In fact, when fighting the mud Magical Beast, Liu Hang, Chai Zhiwei, and Gao Yuntian were basically rendered useless.
The only ones capable of an effective attack are Lin Xiaoxiao and Bai Hai.
Although humans currently have fewer channels to acquire skills, fewer channels do not mean none.
Moreover, Ling Yi believed that this was only temporary.
The rules of an invading world will eventually Fusion, devour, and be perfected, at which point skills will no longer be a limitation.
Ling Yi is currently immune to all conventional attack methods, but control skills are a different story.
Protect one batch, and you'll be free from illness.
After defeating this wave of wild wolf Demonic Beast, it was already dark. Just as Ling Yi and his group were preparing to cook something, a domineering Wolf Howl suddenly rang out.
"Awooo!"
Then, a huge Bai Lang, over two and a half meters tall and pure white all over, slowly emerged from the Lin Zhong, its eyes fixed on Ling Yi and the others.
"Boss?" The group's eyes lit up.
Then, Chai Zhiwei and the others all looked at Ling Yi with burning eyes.
"This must be the Wolf King, he's so beautiful." Lin Xiaoxiao, being a girl after all, was first drawn to the Bai Lang leader's good looks.
But it must be said, this Bai Lang is indeed very beautiful.
"Class monitor, isn't it a bit strange that you're concerned about whether this wolf is pretty or not?" Liu Hang rolled his eyes and said.
Lin Xiaoxiao snorted and turned to Ling Yi, asking, "Can you tame this Wolf King?"
Chai Zhiwei and the others, who were about to speak, were all stunned after hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words.
Tame the Wolf King? Wow, that seems like a good idea.
Putting everything else aside, just look at its appearance alone. If you actually tamed it, riding it out would definitely be incredibly cool.
"But I still want equipment and skills more," Bai Hai said, completely spoiling the mood.
Ling Yi shrugged and said, "I don't have any methods to subdue them. Do you expect me to just talk to them?"
Just then, another Wolf Howl howl rang out.
A moment later, a much larger, gray wolf emerged from another direction.
Ling Yi and the others were a bit confused. What was going on? Either they wouldn't encounter the boss, or two of them appeared at once?
Compared to the White Wolf King, the Gray Cesium Wolf King is much less attractive.
The scar on his face, in particular, looked rather grotesque and terrifying.
"Could it be a battle for the Wolf King?" Ling Yi said, taking a few steps back.
"Let's see how things go first."
Just then, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly raised " Aquagold Crossbow " and opened fire on the gray Wolf King...
