Chapter 812 The Defensive System of Grade-A Foothold (1/2)
As the moonlight shone on it, Lin Huang could clearly see the monster's features.
It was a humanoid monster that was more than three meters tall. There were blood stains all over its body. It had four limbs like a human and could stand straight on both of his legs.
However, unlike humans, it had no skin. It also had no scales or feathers like the rest of the animals. It looked like a human specimen with its skin ripped off. There were countless disgusting pustules on its body.
It had a peculiar head. There were no human organs and the only organ it had was a ferocious mouth that occupied almost half of its face. Steely fangs crowded in its mouth. If one were to describe it, it was like an egg with a wide mouth and pustules all over it.
Lin Huang had seen many ugly monsters in the monster guide. However, this was the ugliest one he had ever seen.
”It has no winky for real. It's too ugly to be loved,” Lin Huang thought to himself. Soon, his facial expression became serious.
The moment it got out of the pale man's body, its combat strength had increased three ranks higher to yellow gold-rank.
Regardless of how it looked, it was undoubtedly strong.
After sizing it up, Lin Huang's face suddenly turned solemn. His change in mood was not because of its combat strength but because of the disgusting yet devilish aura it exuded from its body. Lin Huang hated it as soon as he sensed the aura just like how an ordinary person would detest seeing a c.o.c.kroach. However, his hatred was hundreds of times stronger.
”An abyssal monster…” Lin Huang knew where the monster came from the moment he sensed its aura.
It was not his first time fighting an abyssal monster. He had the same feeling each time, but it was rather obvious this time.
The dragon flames on the ground had stopped burning.
The skinless monster staggered before it managed to balance itself.
At that moment, a beam of dazzling red light struck from the sky and the position of the skinless monster was the center point. The area with a circ.u.mference that spanned hundreds of meters was enveloped by the red light. At the same time, a red warning page popped up on Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring and a short buzzing sound like an alarm was heard.
”Warning! It's suspected that an imperial-level monster has invaded foothold No. 3A5!
”Preliminary inspection shows that it's an abyssal monster of yellow gold-rank!
”Target has been identified. Please head over to this location and kill it!”
It was a message sent by the defense system of the Grade-A foothold. The defense system would inspect all the safe zones every minute. If it happened to sense any unusual aura from monsters, they would immediately mark down its coordinates and send a warning message to those who had authority over it.
The skinless monster was on imperial-level. Therefore, only imperial-level would receive this message.
Coincidently, Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring was granted this authority as well.
He had heard about such a defense system at the Grade-A foothold earlier in Division 7. However, it was his first time encountering the activation of the defense system.
All the imperial-level in Wanbao City received the warning message at almost the same time.
”Is this a loophole in the defense system of the Grade-A foothold? Or is there any new monster type that managed to get rid of the detection of the defense system? If it's the latter, I'll have new research material.”
”Is there a monster invasion? I'm bored. I can now get into the fight and get some materials! Eh, it's on yellow gold-rank. It seems like I can't fight it…”
”It's at the west of the city and it's too far away from me. If I were to go from the east, it's about 1,800 kilometers away. Why doesn't it come to the east of the city? There are so many beautiful ladies here…”
”I can make soup with the yellow gold-rank monster. I hope it's not a humanoid monster or an extremely ugly monster. Now, that'll spoil my appet.i.te.”
…
Many imperial-level then headed towards the west of the city.
