Hmm?
Ye Chen had just taken a few steps when he stopped and turned to look at Zhu Qiang.
Seeing his interest, Zhu Qiang immediately said, "Brother Chen, think about it. Even if your pet is very powerful, the higher it levels up, the more experience it needs. I happen to know a way that can help your pet level up quickly, otherwise, at our level, we'll be wiped out eventually."
Lin Nuoyi also said, "The chubby guy is right. The world is in chaos now; monsters are invading, and humanity is struggling to survive. Let's form a team! This way, our chances of survival will be higher. We'll follow your lead and do whatever you say. How about it?"
Her attitude was very sincere, even throwing a wink at Ye Chen.
However, it looked very childish.
Her eyes blinked awkwardly, very unnatural.
It was obvious she had never winked at anyone before; this was her first try.
"Let's hear it first."
Ye Chen was indeed tempted, after all, who could resist the allure of fast leveling?
"We'll take the lead, and finally let your pet finish off the monsters, giving all the experience to you."
Zhu Qiang quickly added, "I just saw the Law Enforcement Team do it like this. The female captain's pet levels up very fast. Only in this way can ordinary people like us survive."
"Alright!"
Ye Chen actually knew about this method too, but it's a bit difficult to execute alone.
If Zhu Qiang and Lin Nuoyi could help, it would indeed save him a lot of trouble.
Otherwise.
There's no need to bring them along.
"Oh yeah!"
Zhu Qiang jumped up with joy and said, "Brother Chen, follow me. I know where there are monsters."
As he walked, he said, "The Law Enforcement Team was here just now. There aren't many monsters around here, but there's a place they didn't search. If I'm right, there must be some there too."
Hmm!
Lin Nuoyi quickly followed.
Ye Chen looked around but indeed didn't see any signs of monsters.
Since the Law Enforcement Team had been here, they must have cleared everything.
The Stone Golem from earlier most likely wandered here by chance.
As he walked, Zhu Qiang said, "My dad is a butcher; on the outskirts of the market, there are a few farm courtyards near the river, converted into a cold storage and slaughterhouse. There's usually no one there, and it's very spacious."
Makes sense.
Ye Chen couldn't help but nod, Zhu Qiang indeed has some brains.
Despite his chubby appearance, his mind works well.
Entering the cold storage.
Bang bang.
Ye Chen indeed heard sounds of impact coming from inside.
Actually, the cold storage wasn't built very sturdily. The fact that the monsters haven't broken through yet indicates that their physical strength isn't very strong.
This is perfect for him.
"Piggy Dragon, charge!"
At Zhu Qiang's command, the Piggy Dragon broke through the door and dashed into the cold storage.
"Beauty Snake, your turn too."
Lin Nuoyi controlled her pet, closely following behind Piggy Dragon.
Since they were forming a team, they had to show some sincerity.
Blood Asura followed behind, not too fast, not too slow.
Ye Chen, Zhu Qiang, and Lin Nuoyi then entered the cold storage.
Zhu Qiang, somewhat familiar with the place, turned on the lights.
Hiss!
As soon as Ye Chen entered, he was hit by a chill, almost shivering.
Then he saw the place packed with hanging pork, beef, lamb, chicken, and so on.
From a distance, it looked like a feast of wine and meat.
About ten meters away, there were two monsters continuously pounding the cold storage walls, already creating cracks.
Hearing the commotion, the monsters immediately ran over.
At the same time.
In the corner, there were three more monsters, continuously tearing at frozen meat blocks.
These were bloodthirsty animals seeking to devour fresh meat.
Though they heard the noise, they didn't rush over and kept busy eating the meat.
The frozen meat blocks seemed like popsicles in their mouths, devoured in a few bites.
One of the monsters had a huge belly, on the verge of bursting.
Squeak squeak.
The first two monsters appeared in front of Ye Chen.
[Puppet Lizard]
Level: LV4
Skill: Pounce Kill
Combat Power: 600
Blood Volume: 1800
Talent: If bitten by a lizard, the body stiffens, eventually losing consciousness and becoming a puppet
These were two lizards wrapped in white cloth, like mummies.
Their movements were slow, much slower than normal monsters.
"This is an opportunity."
Zhu Qiang launched an attack, and Piggy Dragon rushed over, knocking both Puppet Lizards to the ground.
Lin Nuoyi quickly took action, her Beauty Snake slithered and swung her long whip, striking a lizard with a snap.
The white cloth tore apart, revealing the white bone inside.
As it turned out, the Puppet Lizards had no flesh, only their neck and head looked normal.
Piggy Dragon ran over, knocked over the Puppet Lizards, and then slammed down hard with its body.
Once Piggy Dragon got up, Beauty Snake sprayed corrosive venom onto the monster.
"Blood Asura."
Ye Chen shouted, "Your turn now!"
Swoosh!
Clutching the Thunder Shocking Blade, Blood Asura darted out, moving very quickly.
The large blade spun, like a wheel of wind and fire.
In no time, the heads of the Puppet Lizards were chopped off.
Gained 30 experience.
Gained 50 experience.
[Congratulations to the host for slaying two Puppet Lizards, earning 80 points]
As the lizard corpses disappeared, three pieces of equipment dropped.
Ye Chen let Zhu Qiang pick them up first, while he controlled Blood Asura to charge at the other three monsters.

The Dragon-Swallowing Toad's belly was so swollen it seemed about to burst.
Visibly, its belly was shrinking and expanding, digesting everything it swallowed.
In the blink of an eye, it returned to its normal shape, even more vigorous than before.
"We must take it down."
Ye Chen took note of the Dragon-Swallowing Toad's blood volume; fortunately, it wasn't much. As long as Blood Asura was fast enough, it could take it down in three strikes.
"Hey, hey, hey."
"Little friend, stop!"
Just as Blood Asura was about to strike, a few people entered from the cold storage entrance, shouting loudly.
Their voices were icy, even filled with murderous intent.
Clearly, they came with ill intentions!
Ye Chen turned to look, his eyes narrowing.
