Time passed by slowly. When the second wave of monsters had already attacked the city for fifty minutes, Fiery Blade Sage just killed his first monster. It was a Little Black Pig.

He was about to cry as it was just too difficult. He had been standing on the street until his feet were numb.

His attack power was extremely high, a Little Black Pig was dead with just one use of Consecutive Cuts.

After a short while, Dark Redemption also stopped. He had no more money to purchase potions, which caused his killing efficiency to plummet. Fiery Blade Sage finally got his chance and managed to kill an average of two to three small monsters per minute.

As for First-Class Star and Zhen Dejun, they had yet to kill any monsters. This did not anger First-Class Star, nor was she in any hurry as she leisurely chit-chatted with Zhen Dejun.

When the monster attacks entered the 65th minute, a regional announcement suddenly sounded.

[A special event has been triggered. A Treasure Chest Monster has snuck into the monster army. The Treasure Chest Monster will not steal Chaotic Energy from the Chaos’ Core. It will not follow the direction of the Corridor of War and will carry out random actions, such as turning back halfway. Killing it will result in the appearance of at least one object. There will be a small chance where skill books or special certificates to change into hidden professions will appear. The objects that appear belong to the person who killed the monster. May all players defending the city pay attention.]

Once the regional announcement ended, a golden flash of light appeared at the Space-Time Wormhole and a shiny treasure chest immediately broke out.

The Treasure Chest Monster looked very strange, as it was a treasure chest with four ostrich legs.

[The Magical Treasure Chest Monster: Special monster, Level 1, MP 100. Has immunity from magic and defensive tower attacks. Super high dodge power!]

“The items that appear belong to the killer! Great, this treasure chest is mine!”

Fanning Knight raised his sword and attacked. However, he was blocked off by a few Little Black Pigs and the Magical Treasure Chest Monster was extremely fast. The Treasure Chest Monster jumped and was soon out of his attack range. Fanning Knight could only watch it run away helplessly without receiving any attacks from him. He stomped his feet angrily and quickly turned around to kill the pigs.

Dark Redemption and the others were excited. They watched as the Treasure Chest Monster approached them and waited to attack it at the first moment that they could.

In city defense missions, it was obvious that those with a ranged profession tended to have an advantage when compared to melee professions. Although Fiery Blade Sage stood in front of Dark Redemption, he was no match for Dark Redemption’s ranged attacks.

“With only 100 HP, this treasure chest is mine!” Dark Redemption started shooting his long arrows. Although he had no more MP, his ordinary attacks were still very powerful, and it was entirely possible for him to kill the Treasure Chest Monster that had only 100 at ten meters away.

However, the Treasure Chest Monster was an unusual thing. Although it had low HP, it still had a super high dodge rate so all the arrows shot by Dark Redemption had simply rubbed away from its body and were ‘lost’!

“Hahahaha!” Fiery Blade Sage was overjoyed. He raised his long sword towards the Treasure Chest Monster. “Come here baby, come to daddy.”

“Ah, why were they all lost. Now this bald head is going to get it all!” Dark Redemption was unwilling to give up and pulled his bow at full speed. However, he still failed at getting even one hit in.

Fiery Blade Sage was ready to pick up the monster. As soon as it reached him, he immediately used Consecutive Cuts.

Clank, clank! With two clanking sounds, the damage figures appeared on the head of the Treasure Chest Monster, a ‘-25’, and two ‘-20’ as its HP was immediately reduced by half.

Fiery Blade Sage raised his sword and cut it again.

-23, lost, lost, -24, lost…

It could be seen that the Treasure Chest Monster had only a trace of HP left. However, the Treasure Chest Monster suddenly turned around and ran away, back to where it had come from.

“F*ck, only one last cut was left. Baby, please don’t do this, don’t go!” Fiery Blade Sage felt like he was about to vomit blood.

Dark Redemption quickly rushed up to attack with his arrows but failed to make the Treasure Chest Monster stay.

Near the Space-Time Wormhole, Fanning Knight was focused on killing the Little Black Pigs, taking advantage of every minute and second he had to level up.

Li Hanqiang’s voice suddenly spoke up, “Fanning Knight, behind you. The Treasure Chest Monster is returning. Quick, give it one more attack, it only needs one more attack.”

Fanning Knight turned his head when he heard the words, and was stunned for a short while.

“This Treasure Chest Monster really has returned!” He had no time to think about it as he took his sword and attacked.

Lost, lost, lost, -10!

Following a ringing sound, the Treasure Chest Monster fell to the ground, and rays of colorful light burst out.

[System reminder: The player, Fanning Knight, has successfully killed the Magical Treasure Chest Monster and obtained a skill book. The item has been automatically stored in the Chaotic Stone Slab where the player is. Congratulations to the player.]

[Treasure box item display: Skill Book ‘Phantom Charged’.]

[Phantom Charged: General skill for melee professions.

Level 1 effect: Uses MP to launch a phantom charge towards the front. The charge distance is 20 meters and will cause 50% damage to all enemies along the way. There is a large chance that the skill will trigger a speed reduction effect and a small chance that it will also trigger a knock-back effect (The chances of triggering it is related to the strength value of the player. The player may explore the specifics by themselves.)

All melee professions may learn the skill. When the skill’s proficiency is improved, the skill’s level shall improve. When the skill’s level is increased, the charge damage and distance are increased.

PS: Players are required to exceed Level 10 and unlock the free skill bar in order to learn this skill.]

The information of Phantom Charged was displayed publicly and directly in front of all the players present. After being stunned for a moment, Fanning Knight was ecstatic. He started laughing and had even stopped killing the Little Black Pigs.

“I am rich, rich! I have gotten a general skill book!”

Those behind him were obviously envious, especially Fiery Blade Sage. He almost cried and shouted at the direction of Fanning Knight, “Give me, give me, give me the skill book. Give it to me if you are my brother!”

Dark Redemption shook his head, feeling much better with himself. After all, he was a ranged profession and could not learn the Phantom Charged skill book even if it was in his hands.

Zhen Dejun at the back exploded. His face was dark and green, and he frowned as if he had eaten flies. How precious was such a general skill book? How much would it have cost? Why had it fallen into the hands of that trash?

Li Hanqiang had a smile on his face and said to Fanning Knight, “How is it, my brother? You have not suffered any loss guarding this city… Hey hey, don’t just stand there, now you have to work even harder to kill the monsters and rise to Level 10 in order to learn the skill.”

“Yes, that is a must. Kill monsters! Kill monsters!” Fanning Knight was in such a hyper state as if he had eaten stimulants. He now felt that Li Hanqiang was super pleasing and particularly well-mannered in his eyes.

Just like that, after more than ten minutes, the Space-Time Wormhole closed. After all the Little Black Pigs and Big Black Pigs were killed, the regional announcement sounded.

[Congratulations to Chaotic City No. 68 for successfully resisting the second wave of monster attack. The current battle took 92 minutes and a total of 13,001 monsters were killed. The Chaos’ Core lost zero HP and the city defense is determined to be a success. All players that participated in defending the city will receive the reward of maximum experience. All adventurer players that participated in the city defense will receive contribution points from Chaotic City No. 68. When these contribution points reach a certain amount, adventurer players will receive mysterious privileges.]

The battle was over and everyone levelled up collectively.

Li Hanqiang leveled up to Level 5, Fanning Knight rose to Level 8, Fiery Blade Sage to Level 6, and Dark Redemption broke through to Level 10. Even First-Class Star and Zhen Dejun, who were ‘lying down’ the entire battle, had risen to Level 6 and Level 8 respectively.

Of course, Li Hanqiang had his own additional rewards. He received another two Chaotic Stone Slabs, a small purse and a chance to ‘draw’.
