NOVEL WEB Chapter 250: Continuous Upgrade
For a moment, the sounds of battle were incessant.
The roars echoed continuously.
Before long, the three monsters, under collective assault, had been beaten to a state of critical health.
Ye Chen took the stage.
Celestial Fury Thunder Attraction.
The three monsters were gathered together by the Vajra Ape, and Ye Chen leapt up, a bolt of lightning striking them.
The three monsters instantly died.

After packing up the spoils, Ye Chen and his six companions immediately set out ahead.
In fact, there were many monsters living in the aquatic area, not only in the water, but also on both sides of the bank.
Before long, two monsters locked in battle appeared in front of Ye Chen and his companions.
These two monsters, their levels were not low.
Both were at LV24.
One was of the Boneless Race, the other of the Beetle Race.
The snake-like creature tightly coiled around the black beetle-like monster, neither willing to submit to the other.
They fought relentlessly, and even when they noticed Ye Chen and others approaching, they continued their fierce combat.
Zhu Qiang grinned and said, "I love it when this happens, let them fight until they're at critical health, and then we go in for the kill."
The six stood quietly at a short distance, watching the two battle each other.
Zhu Qiang chuckled, "Who do you think will win between the two of them?"
Iron Bull thought for a moment and said, "The beetle should win. Although the python has the beetle tightly bound, it hasn't inflicted much damage, whereas the beetle's pincers have pierced the python's flesh, and it's starting to bleed."
Iron Bull was right; although the python seemed to have the advantage, it was actually the one more severely injured.
The python let out a hiss, exerting every ounce of its strength, tightening its coils even further as its head reared back, opening wide to devour the beetle from the tail end.
Half an hour later, both were left with less than thirty thousand blood volume.
Ye Chen had already acted.
"Heaven-shocking Slash!"
The ferocious attack landed on both creatures, and they were instantly slain.
Heaven-shocking Slash, though a sword technique one tier higher than Thunderous Fury, had a very short cooldown.
However, it consumed quite a lot of qi and blood.
[Congratulations on obtaining 480 points]
[Host killed the monster, gained 4000 experience points]
...
This time, the eight thousand acquired, combined with the previous six thousand, were enough for the Blood Asura to level up.

All afternoon, the six didn't pause for a moment, continuously hunting monsters.
Finally, by evening, Ye Chen and his companions halted their steps.
The lord-level monsters of Qing County, along with those above LV26, had all gone to Lianyuan District, preparing for the siege in two days' time.
Therefore, the remaining monsters posed no challenge to Ye Chen and his group during their hunts.
Finding a gazebo, they all sat down.
They took stock of today's harvest.
That afternoon, they hunted a total of ten monsters.
Two at LV22.
Three at LV23.
Five at LV24.
Altogether, they gained 29000 experience points.
The Pill Master also successfully advanced to LV14.
Ye Chen glanced at the Pill Master's attribute panel.

The Pill Master was only 9000 experience points away from leveling up to LV15.
Looks like tomorrow, the Pill Master can awaken an innate skill.
By then, Ye Chen's combat power would be even stronger.
Rumble!
The sky suddenly resonated with a clap of thunder.
The sky had completely darkened.
Lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the pitch-black earth for a second.
Tang Qiu was somewhat afraid of the thunder, and, holding on to Lin Nuoyi's arm, said, "It's going to rain, let's get back."
The hour was late, so the group quickly headed toward the safe zone.
By this time, the safe zone had lights on in every household.
A unique standout in the darkened Qing County.
With more ordinary people arriving, the laughs and conversations in the safe zone grew more frequent.
Watching each face adorned with smiles, Ye Chen felt a mix of emotions.
"Brother Ye Chen, you're back!" Huo Yu greeted with a cheerful smile from the gazebo.
Ye Chen smiled, "I'm back."
Heaven-Devouring Tiger and others were playing cards in another area, their relaxed demeanor clearly showing.
Yu Nian sighed, "Ye Chen, shouldn't you tell them the news? If the monsters really attack, I'm afraid."
Ye Chen had already made up his mind.
He said, "Not yet, when the monsters siege the city, they'll attack the Law Enforcement Alliance Headquarters first, and by then, all the strong will rush to support; I'll be there too. Though the enemy is strong, the Human Race is not weak either. If we can fend off the monsters' siege, all will be fine, and if not, we'll make plans then."
Yu Nian looked up at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, are you still going even though it's so dangerous? The Law Enforcement Alliance has many strong fighters; one more you won't make much difference, but..."
In Yu Nian's heart, Ye Chen held a very important place.
Lin Nuoyi and Zhu Qiang also turned their gaze toward him.
With a determined gaze, Ye Chen said, "I must go, as this matter concerns the survival of the Human Race. Each of us must contribute in our capacity. If the monsters do succeed in their siege, it would be a huge catastrophe for the people of the Seventh Region."
