Chapter 31

"Idiot, those aren't big rhinos, they're monster beasts." The tall man leading the group of frantic runners sneered as they whizzed past Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao's eyes were alight with the prospect of gaining experience points, so he wasn't in the mood to argue. The grass in his mouth dropped as his blood boiled with excitement. "Come on, kill the monsters."

Noticing Huang Diewu standing still beside him, Zhao Hao: "..."

Embracing Huang Diewu's waist, he nudged her forward: "Come on, kill the monsters."

"Huh?"

"Young Master, I understand."

Only then did Huang Diewu react, realizing Zhao Hao wanted her to fight. She straightened her posture, rolled up her colorful sleeves, and revealed her jade-like arms.

"..."

The group of people who had rushed past gave Zhao Hao contemptuous looks.

Faced with such a huge group of beasts, he actually asked the pretty maidservant to fight while he stood back. What a coward!

Although they were also afraid of death, at least they let their junior sister run in front while they covered the rear to escape.

At the same time, they felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

In order to protect her lord, the charming maidservant stood in front without hesitation. Why didn't they have such a loyal and beautiful maidservant?

In a state of resentment for no reason, the group of people suddenly looked at Zhao Hao with displeasure.

However, the group of cultivators who fled in embarrassment suddenly widened their eyes and even forgot to run. They all stood still, mouths agape.

With a 'whoosh', invisible colorful wings emerged behind Huang Diewu, spreading out like a peacock's display.

"Arrow Rain!"

Huang Diewu raised the colored bow in her hand and let out a soft cry.

The world changed, and air currents swirled.

Soon, in the void above Huang Diewu, densely packed colorful arrows appeared.

"Swish swish swish..."

With a flap of her colorful wings, suddenly, thousands of arrow feathers rushed toward the oncoming beasts.

It looked like thousands of meteors streaking across the sky.

Zhao Hao's heart also twitched. This wasn't archery; it was clearly summoning an arrow rain.

"Swish swish swish..."

Under the rain of arrows, the hundreds of rhino monster beasts resembled a group of tanks attacked by missiles. Rumbling sounds followed one after another. They were riddled with blasts, crumbling to the ground, and then falling one after another.

[Hint, you have gained 100 experience points.]

[Hint, you have gained 100 experience points.]

[Hint, you have gained 100 experience points.]

...

The sounds of gaining experience echoed in Zhao Hao's brain..

[Ding, congratulations, your level has increased. You have upgraded to Level 1 of soul-quenching.]

[Ding, congratulations, your level has increased. You have upgraded to Level 2 of soul-quenching.]

"Damn."

"What's going on?"

"Is there a mistake?"

"How can these big rhinos give only 100 points of experience?"

He reached the Soul-quenching Realm and was promoted by two levels instantly, but Zhao Hao was full of doubts and was very upset.

He had just checked with the 'Heavenly Eye Appraisal' and confirmed that the 'Great Rhinos' were all Tier 3 monsters. According to that, they should give thousands of experience points.

"How could it only be 100 points?"

The monster levels correspond to the levels of cultivators and are divided into ten levels. The growth method of monsters is simple and violent, that is, killing. Monsters grew up through the brutal way of survival and were generally stronger than cultivators of the same level.

Zhao Hao checked Huang Diewu's messages.

[Hint, Huang Diewu has gained 900 experience points.]

[Hint, Huang Diewu has gained 900 experience points.]

[Hint, Huang Diewu has gained 900 experience points.]

...

Zhao Hao felt cheated by the system. He questioned in his heart: "System, why does Diewu get 900, and I only get 100? It's like her experience was given by her father, and my experience was given by the old man next door?"

[Answering the host, in team leveling, killers gain 90% experience, and teammates share 10% experience]

The system replied quickly.

"..." Zhao Hao was speechless.

Damn, if he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have formed a team. In his own way, if he had used Huang Diewu as an assistant while he rushed to only deliver the final blow, all the experience would have been his.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Hao still didn't dissolve the team state.

10% of the experience was still a lot because with Huang Diewu, he could leapfrog and kill more powerful monsters.

In places like the Dragon Vein, where dangers lurk everywhere, one misstep could cost him his life. If he couldn't handle it, he still had to let Huang Diewu do the killing.

Besides, even the god generals needed to grow.

"She actually killed the beast with one move!"

"This, how is this possible!"

"How strong must she be?"

"Except for our Heavenly Dragon Gate sect master on Carved Dragon Island, I really can't believe there's someone else with such an ability."

"Our sect master might not even be..."

The group of cultivators who had narrowly escaped death still stood there with their mouths agape in shock.

"The maid around him is already so strong. Just how strong is that young man? He doesn't seem to even bother with those monster beasts."

"I dare not think about it!"

Having just looked down on Zhao Hao, when they looked at him again, they suddenly felt he was unfathomable. It was as if his entire being emitted a mysterious light.

"Let's go." Zhao Hao hooked Huang Diewu's hand and was ready to delve deeper into the dragon veins.

"Wait." At this moment, a delicate girl ran up.

"What do you want?" Zhao Hao glanced back, not wanting anything to affect his leveling.

 Since being called weak by the girl on the black lotus, he felt his ego being stepped on and thus he was very eager to prove himself. If it weren't for the people in front of him being his countrymen, he might have considered killing them all for the experience points.

The girl was slightly startled, her expression embarrassed, and her face flushed. The seniors in the sect all treated her as a treasure, the center of attention. No man had ever spoken to her in such a cold tone.

Despite feeling embarrassed, she still pressed on: "Hello, my name is Mu Jianping. Are you going to the Dragon Vein to gather materials?"

"Gather materials, what materials?" Zhao Hao curled his lips.

"Materials for cultivation," Mu Jianping said.

"Do I look like someone who lacks materials?" Zhao Hao spread his hands and spoke frankly. This was not him boasting but stating a fact. What materials did he need?

"..." Mu Jianping was left speechless.
