Chapter 572
In a quiet corner inside the deep regions of the Giant Beasts Forest is a rather vacant area . This area is devoid of trees and weeds . There are only rocks and boulders around here . When the wind blew, dust would be blown up into the sky . It’s hard to believe that this place used to be flushed with flora .
There are a bunch of small hills with trees that have fruit growing on them near this vacant area . Luckily for the expedition team, a part of this habitat remained after the fights . The residents that were living here got cleansed by the newcomers, including the king of this area, the Longarm Ape King .
After cleaning up, the expedition team members decided to make this play their camping spot for the night . It would be a waste if they pa.s.sed on this ridiculously habitable place .
This was an area ruled by the Longarm Ape King . whenever a demonic beast claimed an area as its territory, other demonic beasts would stay away . Those that strayed into this area are existences that the apex predator couldn’t bother with, like peak tier 7 creatures . Tier 8 demonic beasts would have to think twice if they wanted to enter this area, generally, they don’t .
Tier 9 monsters will be immediately treated as a trespa.s.ser and hunted down by the whole group . Outside of territory wars, tier 9 demonic beasts wouldn’t appear inside here .
Hence, Wu Yan & co took this place as their own . They aren’t too worried if a rival monster would try to seize this area after the death of the apex predator here . They reckoned that they wouldn’t be bothered if they only stayed for one night .
With the pesky trees here, it’s hard to set up tents unlike the hilly area they stayed at the night before . Instead, they set up a radial tent set up with Fei Fei, Sylph, Bing Ling, Bis.h.i.+, Wu Yan & co’s tents in the center, and the rest of the tents forming a defensive circle around the core members’ tents . Their tents are also situated at a distance where, even if they were attacked in the night, core members can still reliably be deployed to the affected area .
n.o.body challenged the perks enjoyed by Wu Yan & the other squad leaders . Without Wu Yan & co’s help, they would have been routed even if they somehow found a way to fight against peak tier 7 and tier 8 monsters, the Longarm apes would have made short work of them .
With four tier 8 individuals traveling inside the 10 person group, they are more useful than the rest of the expedition team . They also contributed greatly by fighting off monsters, saving a lot of lives in the process . To ensure the success of their mission, Wu Yan & co’s power is required .
Most importantly, there is an existence they can’t ignore inside his retinue .
A tier 9 individual!
Rather than that, it’s someone who can kill a tier 9 monster in a matter of seconds when she got serious .
This line-up meant that they had to be as servile as possible for the consequences would be dire if they fell in enmity with them . The rest of his entourage are also stellar individuals who are collectively better than the other expedition members . They can fight their peak tier 7 squad leaders and match them move for move, their strange and unique skills meant that they can play powerful support roles during this expedition .
They can’t help but wonder what would happen if they came inside this forest without Wu Yan & company’s escort . Just the thought gave them s.h.i.+vers .
Fei Fei, Sylph, Bing Ling, and Bis.h.i.+ are important pillars among the younger generation of their respective factions . They brought along aces and cards in case of an emergency, their factions gave them insurance before they came inside this Giant Beasts Forest .
Needless to say, their families invested a lot so they can lead this expedition squad . It wouldn’t be funny if something happened to them while they are inside this forest .
If Wu Yan & co didn’t come along, Sylph and the other squad leaders are confident that they can keep their lives at the very least . For instance, Fei Fei’s trump card is Wu Yan & co .
Lei w.a.n.g personally beseeched them to protect Fei Fei on this trip . Fei Fei herself wasn’t aware of this .
Fei Fei & the other squad leaders can rely on their aces to guarantee their own survival, that much cannot be said of the other expedition members . n.o.body can blame the other expedition members for letting their own thoughts wander .
They met a tier 9 monster on the first day they entered the deeper regions of the Giant Beasts Forest . If this trend kept up, what would tomorrow bring about?…
They stopped themselves, with four additional tier 8 and one tier 9 supporting them, they cast off a bit of their doubt . They felt safe with them here, the irony isn’t lost on them .
After this journey to the center of the Giant Beasts Forest, Wu Yan’s company met with a ton of monsters . Peak tier 7 monsters numbered the most with tier 8 monsters coming up as the runner-up . They also killed off most of the Longarm Apes . Ignoring the peak tier 7 apes, Wu Yan & co slaughtered the most tier 8 longarm apes, Sylph only killed one whereas the other 5 got done in by Wu Yan & co .
These monsters are basically walking bags of experience points .
