Chapter 99 - Vincent’s Thoughts
For the next few days, Vincent and his team did not leave the cave. On one hand, they were recuperating; on the other hand, Vincent was still busy investigating the levels and distribution of monsters around them.
Their mission was to kill a total of 200 lord-cla.s.s and overlord-cla.s.s monsters for a year. However, as the team"s level was not very high, Vincent decided to focus on killing special-cla.s.s monsters instead.
He would only consider killing lord-cla.s.s monsters after everyone had become high-level superpowered users.
Currently, only Vincent, Chris, and Teacher Chris were high-level superpowered users. The others were only intermediate-level superpowered users. Swire had just advanced, so he still needed some time to stabilize.
Everyone on the team was a genius. It would not be a problem for them to become high-level superpowered users in a year"s time. It was even possible for Chris and Vincent to become special-cla.s.s superpowered users too.
Teacher Chris was about to become a special-cla.s.s superpowered user. It should not be a big problem for her to become a special-cla.s.s superpowered user in a year"s time.
As for the mission, Vincent planned on waiting until he and Chris became special-cla.s.s superpowered users before doing it.
At that time, even if the team had two low-level superpowered users, they would still be able to make up for it. At least, they would not lose any members.
That was what Vincent thought.
He was more concerned about everyone"s safety compared to the mission.
After a few days of exploring, Vincent had a rough understanding of the distribution of the monsters within a 10,000-meter radius.
It was rather strange.
The cave seemed to be the center. There were four directions where the monsters could come from. The further away the monsters were, the higher their levels were as well.
Special-cla.s.s monsters and high-level monsters lived within a radius of 3,000 meters from the cave. Between 3,000 meters and 6,000 meters, there were lord-cla.s.s monsters and special-cla.s.s monsters. The monsters all lived in groups. Overlord-cla.s.s monsters lived between 6,000 meters and 10,000 meters. From time to time, there would be some strange lord-cla.s.s monsters that could fight against overlord-cla.s.s monsters.
The distribution of the monsters was completely in line with Vincent"s plan for the next year.
Initially, the cave was intended to be a temporary resting site. However, it seemed like they had to be prepared to live in the cave for a long time.
Vincent used his World-Cleansing Fire to expand the cave. He created rooms for everyone to live in.
After all, there were differences between men and women. It was really inconvenient to live together every day.
On this particular day, Teacher Chris who had been unconscious for many days woke up. She smiled pleasantly after seeing that no one had died. They were all living happily in the cave.
She did not know how she got to the cave, but she still knew where she was.
"Teacher Chris! You"re awake!"
Angelina was walking over to Teacher Chris to feed her some water. She did not expect Teacher Chris to wake up. She was very happy and quickly told everyone who was outside.
Teacher Chris"s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e. "Angelina, how long have I been unconscious for?" asked Teacher Chris.
Angelina counted the days and said, "About seven days."
When everyone heard what Angelina had said, they put down the items in their hands and walked over.
Swire and Nabil put down the equipment that they were making.
Boom!
Everyone gathered beside Teacher Chris. However, before they could say anything, there was a loud sound that gave everyone a fright.
"What"s going on? Is there a monster?"
Teacher Chris quickly flipped over and wanted to sit up but was restrained by Angelina.
"Teacher Chris, don"t worry. It"s not a monster. It"s the sound of those two guys trying to research weapons and equipment. They failed," said Angelina.
Teacher Chris blinked her eyes blankly and looked at Swire and Nabil who were both embarra.s.sed.
"You two!" said Teacher Chris with a smile.
She then turned to look at Vincent.
"Vincent, what happened in the past seven days? Is everyone alright?"
Vincent shook his head slightly and explained, "Teacher Chris, as you were unconscious, we did not leave the cave. I was the only one who left the cave to investigate the distribution of the monsters in order to prepare our next plan."
Teacher Chris nodded. Vincent did not do anything wrong. When a situation was uncertain, it was necessary to find a relatively safe place to hide.
"What are your plans?" Teacher Chris continued to ask.
Vincent thought for a moment. "I plan on heading east and to only move within a range of 3,000 meters. I also plan to mainly focus on special-cla.s.s monsters. When everyone"s level has risen to advanced, we can continue moving forward then," said Vincent.
Following that, Vincent explained the distribution of monsters to Teacher Chris and his plan in detail.
Teacher Chris listened to him carefully. She was surprised to find out that Vincent had actually thought through everything thoroughly. He had thought of all the solutions that he could think of to deal with the unexpected.
"Very good. Then you can start to carry out this plan."
Teacher Chris approved of Vincent"s plan.
"Let"s wait a little longer. You"ll need to fully recover first. With you around, it"ll be more convenient for me to arrange everyone"s positions in battle," said Vincent.
Teacher Chris knew her body well. It was not a big problem. She would need at most two days to fully recover.
"Alright, we"ll do as you say," said Teacher Chris.
For the next two days, everyone went about their own business.
On the tenth day, Vincent and his team set out to hunt monsters once again.
Vincent made a plan based on everyone"s situation. He divided the team into three groups. Teacher Chris and Chris would lead a group each. Vincent would lead his own group. His goal was to hunt special-cla.s.s monsters that were alone.
He also planned on searching for lord-cla.s.s monsters to gather information on them.
Although the monster guide had information about monsters, it did not provide sufficient information for users to truly fight against monsters.
Plus, in this unknown world, even a single mistake may risk death. Vincent could not accept such risk.
As the leader and the strongest person in the team, he felt responsible to investigate the monsters further.
Plus, he was the only one who could do it.
The first target chosen by Vincent was the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle. It had a dragon head, and its body and limbs were similar to a turtle.
According to the monster guide, the monster had high defense and attack. It had the ability to control water elements and absorb blood. The turtle sh.e.l.l was enough to withstand a full-strength attack from a top-tier lord-cla.s.s superpowered user.
In other words, even an ordinary overlord-cla.s.s superpowered user would find it very difficult to hurt it.
Its weakness was its belly. The best way to kill it was to attack its belly.
However, the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle knew its weakness very well. It would not expose its belly at all.
Usually, when encountering such a monster, the only way to kill it was to rely on earth-type superpowered users to launch attacks using earth thorns.
However, there were no earth-type superpowered users in Vincent"s team. Therefore, they could not attack the turtle that way.
Nevertheless, Vincent still knew of a few ways to use his superpower to counter the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle. So, it was not a big problem after all.
Vincent wanted to test the actual combat strength of the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle, so it did not sneak up on it. Instead, he chose to face it head-on.
When the Exploding Blood Dragon Turtle saw Vincent, it roared and rushed forward.
