Just then, a boy in a school uniform with a buzz cut rode a bicycle and stopped above the drain.
Because of the angle, the buzz-cut youth didn't notice Wang Chongyang and the others.
He stopped his bicycle, then turned off a side road carrying a gasoline can.
When they finally saw Wang Chongyang and his nine companions, the distance between them was less than ten meters.
"Holy crap, is this Assassin's Creed cosplay?" the man with the buzz cut exclaimed.
Wang Chongyang and the others exchanged bewildered glances. They hadn't expected an ordinary person, especially a young boy, to appear at this time. Gusu City was in complete chaos; where did this boy come from?
Just then, Ling Jiu's voice rang out on the phone. " Wang Er, a student in Class 2, Grade 12 at Gusu City No. 1 High School. 1 High School, is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. He mysteriously disappeared for a day before the outbreak of the Gusu City Undead Calamity, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"..."
Wang Er involuntarily took a few steps back, intending to turn around and run if things went wrong.
But at that moment, spirits began to emerge from the drain.
Wang Chongyang drew his alloy longsword from his waist, as did Zhang Sanfeng and the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.
These alloy longswords were also obtained by Ling Yi at Ling Jiu's request. They weren't top-tier equipment, but they were definitely better than ancient weapons.
In fact, Wang Chongyang and his men were carrying pistols and Charge. On their way to Gusu City, they had also specifically learned how to use modern Firearms.
However, compared to modern Firearms, Wang Chongyang and his companions were more enthusiastic about the alloy longswords in their hands.
"Do not let any of the undead escape," Wang Chongyang said coldly.
These words startled the newly emerged undead, who exclaimed in surprise, "An ambush?"
This man was none other than Director Zhang, who had sided with Murong Fu. Without a second thought, he turned and ran back.
Of course, it wasn't a retreat, but rather to let other undead fill in. As a cunning and shrewd person, he naturally wouldn't be at the forefront.
Compared to other half-dried and starving undead, they, as high-ranking members, are still able to maintain their conscious state because they have enough blood bags to replenish their energy.
Wang Er's eyes lit up.
"You guys are here to fight monsters too... uh, to kill undead? Me too, let's team up."
As he finished speaking, a voice simultaneously echoed in the minds of Wang Chongyang and the others.
Do you agree to form a team? Yes/No!
This startled Wang Chongyang and the others, who looked at Wang Er warily.
"No, don't misunderstand, I just want to gain some experience points, and teaming up would be beneficial for you guys too."
"Have humans, hundreds of years from now, already achieved this level?" Wang Chongyang asked.
Clearly, he had misunderstood something.
" Ling Jiu, contact Ling Yi and ask what's going on!"
However, Zhang Sanfeng was a bit more astute and did not immediately agree to form a team.
A moment later, Ling Jiu replied, " Ling Yi said you can agree to form a team."
Upon hearing Ling Jiu's words, everyone agreed without further hesitation.
But when Wang Er saw the names of these people in the team list, he was completely dumbfounded.
These are all Resurrection undead, which means... bosses? I've actually teamed up with a bunch of bosses?!
What's going on?
At this moment, a large number of undead rushed out of the drain.
Wang Chongyang and Zhang Sanfeng charged forward with their swords drawn.
Wang Chongyang pierced the head of an undead with his sword. The sword vibrated, and the head was shattered, along with the Soul Pearl. The undead was instantly killed.
Although Ling Yi had reminded them that they could devour Soul Pearl, Wang Chongyang was still somewhat resistant to the idea.
Moreover, searching for the Soul Pearl inside the skull of a dead person is such a terrible idea that it's better to just destroy it altogether.
As soon as the undead was defeated, Wang Er immediately received a notification that he had gained experience points, and his face lit up with joy.
Wang Chongyang and the others felt a strange energy surge into their bodies, which slightly increased their strength.
But now is not the time to study these things. The undead are coming out in an endless stream, and everyone has officially entered Combat mode.
Fortunately, the drain was small, and at most four or five undead crawled out each time, which the group could easily handle.
"This is practically the perfect dungeon for grinding experience!" Wang Er thought to himself, gleefully accumulating experience.
In less than ten minutes, he leveled up seven times and acquired his first skill, Fireball.
He tested the power of the Fireball, and it worked well; one hit could take away half of the undead's health, and two hits were enough to finish one off.
Wang Er's Fireball startled Wang Chongyang and the others.
"Don't worry, I've leveled up, hehehe!" Wang Er said with an undisguised smile.
"This team is truly amazing. I feel like my strength has increased by at least 30%. The speed at which I'm improving is just too fast," Zhang Sanfeng said.
"We'll split the experience points equally if we team up, that's for sure," Wang Er said with a smile.
The ability to improve their strength motivates everyone to "grind monsters," and they even want to keep grinding like this forever.
On the main battlefield, Ling Yi had already stormed into Gusu City. Compared to Wang Chongyang and his group who were calmly grinding monsters, Ling Yi's group was making a huge splash.
Amidst the boundless army of the undead, a shadowy blue Huoyan darted swiftly through the chaos.
Each time they pass through, a large number of undead are wiped out, and each time, hundreds of undead are killed.
In order to gather these hungry spirits and prevent them from ignoring his escape from Gusu City, Ling Yi even continuously sprinkled a little blood from the Blood Pool in the air.
But Ling Yi felt that this kind of charge was somewhat troublesome.
Ling Yi decided to change his strategy.
Ling Yi leaped and landed directly on a street lamp, scattering a large amount of Mysterious Blood beneath it.
Smelling the Mysterious Blood, the undead became even more frenzied, rushing forward wave after wave.
Ling Yi only needs to stand on top of the street lamp and continuously unleash the Undead Fire.
On the other side, Murong Bo, Murong Fu, Murong Longcheng had all received unfavorable news from the undead's subordinates.
"It seems we have to take action ourselves."
Murong Longcheng stared intently at the figure engulfed in eerie blue Huoyan on the surveillance screen, licked his lips, and said.
This footage was captured by the undead minions using a drone.
"This person is very powerful. If I absorb his Soul Pearl, it will definitely allow me to further improve my strength."
Murong Bo said, " Fu'er and I will deal with the experts over at the drainage outlet."
"According to the message sent back by Director Zhang, none of those people have reached the Innate Realm. You should be able to handle them," Murong Longcheng nodded and said.
"Let's wait a bit longer. Let the undead continue to wear down their strength. We'll make our move when they're exhausted," Murong Bo said.
"But what if they retreat by daybreak?" Murong Fu asked.
"Heh, such a drain on resources won't recover in just a day or two."
"What if they don't show up again tomorrow night?" Murong Fu asked again.
"Believe me, they will definitely show up," Murong Longcheng said confidently.
The Combat lasted all night, but Ling Yi only managed to kill a third of the undead.
As the sun rose, these spirits had to retreat into the shadows.
Ling Yi was also somewhat tired, not physically, but mentally.
Anyone would feel tired after spending a whole night grinding monsters.
The spirits are scattered throughout the day, making them too troublesome to search for, so Ling Yi decided to deal with them at night.
Moreover, Ling Yi also wanted to see the Protagonist of this world.
Ling Yi used his Qinggong to leap between the tall buildings and disappear in a few bounds.
This left the military, who wanted to communicate with Ling Yi, helpless; they had no way to deal with these Gao Lai skilled Martial Arts Expert.
Wang Chongyang's side also finished grinding monsters; they Combat all night and were quite exhausted.
Wang Er, the Protagonist, however, looked extremely excited.
How could I not be happy to go from an ordinary person to a level 19 expert overnight?
He has now mastered the Fireball, Repulsion Fire Ring, Lightning, Teleportation, and the Great Fireball, giving him immense destructive power.
However, he still didn't plan to solo it. He knew there were big bosses in Gusu City, and he was counting on teaming up with Wang Chongyang and the others to fight those bosses, which were beyond his capabilities.
"Your system is the Legend Mage System?"
Just as Wang Er was happily planning his wonderful future, a voice rang out behind him.
He turned around and saw a very handsome young man. Instinctively, he asked, "How did you know?"
Then, realizing what was happening, she exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, you're a time traveler too?"
Ling Yi already knew about Wang Er's skills through Ling Jiu's report, so he easily determined what the Protagonist's cheat ability was.
Ling Yi couldn't help but chuckle, "If you had invited me to join your group last night, you would be max level by now. I killed over six million undead last night."
Wang Er was dumbfounded. No wonder the Roar of the undead were constant Gusu City all night; it turned out that this Big Shot was grinding monsters.
" Big Shot, join the crew! You have to join the crew!" Wang Er shouted.
However, when Wang Er tried to invite Ling Yi to join the group through the system, his system did not respond.
"What's going on? It's malfunctioning?" Wang Er asked, looking completely bewildered.
Ling Yi naturally knew the reason; the Protagonist's cheat ability was nothing compared to his, and he didn't dare use the system's functions on Ling Yi at all.
"Add me to the group, and also Copy my skills for me," Ling Yi said.
Then, to Wang Er's astonishment, his system suddenly showered Ling Yi with a whole bunch of skills.
"B-B -Big Shot, what's going on? Why is my system obeying you?"
"Because I'm strong," Ling Yi laughed. As he spoke, Ling Yi moved his mind, and his body was encased in a semi-transparent blue Magic Shield.
This is Mage's level 30 defensive skill.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi added, "Make a Copy for them too."
Ling Yi pointed to Wang Chongyang and the others and said.
Wang Er finally understood completely. This Big Shot. Even his cheat system had to listen to him. He had to get on his good side.
At this moment, Ling Jiu's voice rang out again. " Ling Yi, something has happened in Dayandu..."
