14 Kill, kill, kill
The group stayed inside the room for another few minutes, letting the Baby Kikiayon regain his strenght before they slowly returned to the hall.
Taking another peek at Kiki who was stuck on the back of Fire as they bickered at each other like two little children, Wang Tao couldn't help but smack his lips in satisfaction.
Except for Kiki's name. Due to the insistences of Ying Yue who was adamant on naming the Baby Kikiayon - Kiki, Wang Tao would have never named it such a silly and childish name. Alas..can't argue with women.
Opening the status panel of both of his contracted pets, Wang Tao's eyebrows twitched for a moment. The difference between them was enormous!

Just based on the fact that Kiki is a mythical beast while Fire is a common dog, even if there were hundreds of dogs like Fire, they wouldn't even be able to touch a feather from Kiki.
Then, Wang Tao started checking Kiki's three skills before a dumbfounded expression could be seen on his face, attracting the gazes of the others.
"Huang Lu, how did you even manage to capture Kiki?" asked Wang Hao , with a skeptical look on his face
"Oh" answered Huang Lu, before he vanished in an instant appearing behind Wang Tao with his sword's tip stopping just behind his back
The others haven't even noticed the way he disappeared, as everyone stood rooted on the spot looking incredulously at him, jaws dropping.
They haven't seen anything! He just vanished in an instant!
"Don't look like that at me, this is just one of the skills my Class granted me. As for the others, you'll get to see them later. This is a movement type of skill called Shadow Steps, which allows me to move at extreme speeds. As for Kiki, i knocked it out before it even managed to react, why? Is there something wrong?" continued Huang Lu with a prideful gaze as he explained his skill before a curious gaze appeared on his face
"No, no, everything's fine. I was just curious, that's all!" said Wang Tao, waved his hands before he continued to walk forward
A doubtful gaze appeared on Huang Lu's face before it quickly returned to normal. Every man had secrets, they only met each other one day ago, there was no need to push him to talk.
You can't buy trust, you have to earn it! As long as Wang Tao had his back today, he didn't need to know too much. He has seen them, Wang Tao's eyes before. They were burning with desire for strength! After the fight is over, they will surely part ways. Two tigers can't coexist together on the same mountain.
Even if he was now 10 levels higher than him, it didn't mean that this youngster will not surpass him one day. Just based on the fact that he can control beasts, each with their own unique powers make him already a deadly enemy, what about in the future when he tames even stronger beasts? He didn't want to think about it but a small tinge of jealousy was starting to appear in his heart.
Of course, he was pleased to have someone like Wang Tao as a comrade. In this fight, there's no way he can kill all the beasts alone and having someone to watch his back made him happy. His two most trusted subordinates that followed him for a long time even before the world changed were level 8, but they were not at the level of a unique class. Just by thinking about the spell that Wang Tao cast on the Baby Kikiyaon, imprisoning it gave him shivers.
Today, they're gonna fight as comrades, tomorrow perhaps, they're going to be rivals!
"Soul Devouring Cry – When the Kikiyoan cries, enemies who have a weaker spiritual power than it will have their souls being devoured turning them into lifeless corpses. Targets of the same level or higher will only be briefly stunned."
"Night Dance – The Kikiyaon blends into the shadows, moving at extreme speeds to attack his enemies."
"Ethereal Form – It's able to evade enemy attacks by turning into an Ethereal Form for three seconds, moving through the Dream Realm and Psychical Realm at will."
Wang Tao was feeling ecstatic in his heart as he read through the three available skills of the Baby Kikiyaon, trying to suppress the excitement inside his heart as he moved back to the hall with an indifferent look on his face.
Seeing their return, the people in the hall immediately quieted down before the three hundred men that will be fighting today hurriedly gathered together.
A look full of curiosity appeared on the people's eyes as they looked at the strange owl that played with the dog, but none of them asked anything about it. The other people who were psichycally weaker or still had lingering fear against monsters, took a few steps back as they looked at Kiki with hatred in their eyes, wanting to rip it into pieces as a small commotion rose from the crowd.
"Quiet!" roared one of the followers of Huang Lu as he looked at the angry crowd
"It's tamed, it won't harm you. Now let's move to important business." said Huang Lu before he stuck his sharp sword on the floor as he looked at the three hundred people that will be fighting together with them today
"Today, we're going to fight! Before we leave, i want each and every one of you to form groups of 10 and try to be versatile when forming the group. You don't want 10 people holding swords in one group, try to find at least someone that has a TypeF Pistol or Fireball in case we're going to face aerial attacks. You have 10 minutes!" ordered Huang Lu
In the past, he was the bodyguard and right hand of one of the bosses of a big organization in China, his leadership skills were impeccable. The way he did things never let anyone doubt his words and fully acknowledged him as a leader.
Wang Tao looked at him as he nodded his head at his order. However, he didn't join the people who are going to form groups. The others will be fighting the normal monsters while his group and Huang Lu's will be fighting the stronger beasts together!
Ten minutes passed swiftly as everyone formed their groups before they gathered together with the highest leveled person in the lead, acknowledged as each groups leader.
"Now, my brothers and sisters! I want to say a few words to all of you before we start this expedition. There will be deaths, some of you might die, i, myself, might meet an opponent i can't defeat and i will suffer the same fate. We might all die together in the end! But if we don't fight, what are we supposed to do? We all have friends, families and loved ones who have lost their lives to these beasts, are we gonna let them walk over us just like that?!" roared loudly Huang Lu as he spoke with emotion as he looked straight at the crowd as he gave an almost unnoticeable wink to a man from the crowd
Getting the hint, the man immediately stepped forward before he screamed loudly " No! We're never going to let them off! If a beast comes, we'll kill that beast. If ten beasts come, we'll kill ten, if a hundred come, we'll kill a hundred! We're going to kill until we clean the whole city of these damned beasts to avenge our lost ones! Brothers, sisters, who is with me?!"
The crowd immediately erupted into anger as they lifted their arms and weapons and screaming loudly KILL ! KILL ! KILL!
"LET'S GO!" roared Huang Lu once more before he took the lead towards the stairs and started moving up, as the angered crowd followed behind
Wang Tao and his group joined the crowd as they moved upstairs before a soft voice was heard whispering to his ear.
"Be careful of this guy, i don't think he's all that good. Just look at the way he manipulated all the people, i think he plans to swallow all the people under his lead after we capture the whole city." Ying Yue's hot breath and the feeling of her lips almost touching his ear caused his face to turn red before nodding shyly at her
It didn't take long before they got outside. The feeling of getting fresh air and the sense of gloominess he felt after seeing the black hole and sky devoid of the light of the sun gave him a strange feeling. The outside world hasn't changed at all since the gates fell, it still stood mighty in the sky, giving the people a mystical feeling.
After everyone got out, they soon saw a few goblin bodies cut in half sprawled on the floor beside Huang Lu. They haven't heard anything! Too strong, an admiring gaze appeared on the people's eyes as they looked at Huang Lu.
Looking at the people, Huang Lu felt pleased inside his heart. Yes, he enjoyed the feeling of admiration others had for him, he enjoyed even more the feeling of giving orders. But he knew, without killing all the beasts inside the city, his dream will not come true. That's why, today, this expedition has to succeed.
"We shall split together now! As for the rewards, the loot belongs to the killer! Now, go my friends, go and kill to your hearts content!" loudly said Huang Lu as he looked at the people disappearing through the alleys before he looked at Wang Tao and the others
"Let's go." with a wave of his hand, he took a small detour before moving in a complete direction than the others.
As they walked through the streets, Wang Tao soon realized where is gonna be their fighting stage. Central part of the Yon City where a gate fell before.
It didn't take long before the sounds of gunshots broke out in the city as screams of beasts and humans broke the silence. A sharp glint appeared on Wang Tao's eyes as his fists clenched.
"We're going to survive." said Wang Tao slowly in his heart
