Chapter 22: F-Grade is this fierce?

"What's going on?"

"That team member's tracker hadn't moved before, but it just started moving suddenly!"

"Immediately call the medical team and reserve team currently heading to No. 69, and have them rendezvous with that team member at once!"

"Also, have them find Zhou Chu for me too!" Jia Mengshan said immediately.

The monitor said with some difficulty: "I can't, Captain. That team member isn't retreating, but is moving deeper into the hinterland!"

Jia Mengshan was suddenly startled, his gaze sweeping over those Team 12 members who had just returned: "Who from your team didn't come back?"

"Reporting to Captain, our team is all present!" the leader of the 12th Reconnaissance Team hurriedly reported.

"Then how is it being monitored that someone from your team is still in the No. 69 hinterland?" Jia Mengshan looked solemn.

That team leader's expression also tightened; he recalled for a moment before suddenly realizing: "Captain, I remember now. When we encountered that group of corpse ghosts, someone had their backpack torn off by a corpse ghost."

"Could it be that the backpack is tangled on those corpse ghosts!"

Jia Mengshan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

This was the only reason that made sense right now.

Just then, another monitor ran out from the monitoring station, holding a monitor in his hand and saying: "Report, a set of data has been transmitted back from the hinterland of No. 69 Marking Point. That Team 12 member has pushed forward several hundred meters again!"

"And according to the transmitted vital sign data, this team member's vital sign indicators are all normal, and they haven't suffered any injuries!"

"Oh?"

Jia Mengshan was stunned for a moment.

Since there was corresponding vital sign data, it meant the backpack wasn't tangled on those corpse ghosts, but that someone had picked up the backpack.

Could it be that Zhou Chu?

Jia Mengshan dared not be certain.

Could just a newcomer bound to an F-Grade Soul Profession drive deep into the monster-infested No. 69 Marking Point in just a few minutes?

That was a bit too ridiculous!

Jia Mengshan unfolded that roll call sheet again, staring blankly at the information on it.

Although the 12th Reconnaissance Team couldn't be counted as the most outstanding in strength within the Exorcism Army, they were well-trained and battle-hardened.

The strength of everyone among them was recognized.

Although these 10 people were only 2nd-tier Soul Professionals, they were the best at this level.

Completing reconnaissance and disposal tasks for new marking points like this was completely problem-free.

What he didn't expect was that Team 12 had stumbled at this newest marking point.

This could only explain one problem.

The Demon Cave within No. 69 Marking Point was definitely not simple.

If it really didn't work, he would have to call the Exorcism Army Headquarters to send people.

At this moment, Jia Mengshan, who was deep in thought, suddenly seemed to think of something. He looked at the roll call sheet again, then asked the monitor: "What about the level data? Has the level data been transmitted back?"

The monitor put his gaze back on the monitor, suddenly opening his mouth wide, exclaiming in disbelief: "Level 7? This, how is this possible? Aren't they all 2nd-tier Soul Professionals in Team 12? How could a Level 7 newcomer pop out?"

Jia Mengshan was certain now.

This person deep in No. 69 Marking Point was undoubtedly Zhou Chu.

A bottom-tier F-Grade Soul Profession newcomer being able to be stronger than a full 10-man reconnaissance team under his command was indeed hard to believe.

If the level data hadn't been transmitted back, Jia Mengshan wouldn't have dared to believe it either.

When Zhou Chu first arrived at the station, his level was 6.

And now he had risen to Level 7.

This showed that Zhou Chu was indeed fighting, and had already killed some monsters.

Jia Mengshan immediately gasped even more.

F-Grade is this fierce?

Who on earth is this kid?

Actually, Jia Mengshan still found it hard to believe when he saw Zhou Chu was already Level 6 earlier.

Because among this batch of newcomers, everyone else was Level 1, and only he had reached Level 6.

And he was also the only one among these newcomers whose Soul Profession rank was at the bottom.

It was precisely because of this that Jia Mengshan decided to arrange a task for Zhou Chu to transport the wounded.

"Closely monitor his movements!"

"Adjust the data transmission interval to the minimum."

"Connect his communication device as soon as possible; I want to speak with him!"

Jia Mengshan then instructed the monitor.

The monitor saluted: "Yes!"

……

【Killed Corrupt Corpse Ghost *6, Experience Points +300!】

【Obtained Soul Fragment *6】

【Successfully collected Contract Material "Corrupt Corpse Ghost (C-Grade)".】

【Your Hero Servant shares experience points with you, Experience Points +300】

【Ding! Your level has increased to Level 7!】

【Your attributes have increased: Strength +5, Constitution +5, Soul Power +5, Agility +5!】

【Free Attribute Points +5!】

After killing this wave of corpse ghosts that surged out from the depths of the hinterland, Zhou Chu leveled up.

However, the corpse ghosts are C-Grade quality monsters after all, equivalent to the mobs in a Copy.

Although the experience is a bit more than the Copy mobs, the quantity is not as high as in the Copy.

Zhou Chu was still thinking about grinding them all the way, but he never expected it to end just like that.

He is currently splitting the experience from these monsters equally with Xina; if there are no more monsters, the leveling speed will not actually be very fast.

In order to increase efficiency, Zhou Chu began to release the Crypt Demons and B-Grade Grave Diggers from the Contract Pool.

He let them quickly disperse in all directions to explore.

This Grave Digger is actually just a larger-sized ghoul.

It is just that its two claws have turned into two long curved blades, and at the same time, its face looks just like a Licker from Resident Evil.

Its movement speed is also very fast.

Besides this, the previous C-Grade Skeleton Spear Throwers have become B-Grade Skeleton Spring-Crossbowmen.

The spring-crossbows in the hands of these crossbowmen seem to have an endless supply of bolts; whenever they encounter a corpse ghost approaching nearby.

It hardly requires Xina to take action, as they can shoot them to death.

And Xina only needs to serve as Zhou Chu's personal bodyguard.

Zhou Chu handed all the dozens of C-Grade materials he had obtained to Xina to use for increasing her experience.

Then, he took out the device that is both a walkie-talkie and a detector.

It can be seen that wherever the servants have explored, it will appear on the screen of this device in the form of a map.

Only then did Zhou Chu discover that the terrain of this No. 69 Marking Point is in the shape of an ∩.

Going any further inside is a dead end.

Just at this moment, Xina beside him suddenly said: "Master, I sense a more powerful Calamity Aura ahead; that should be the location of the Demon Cave."

Zhou Chu also has a deep realization; the further they walk inside, the heavier the Calamity Qi seems to become.

And as a Calamity Hero, Xina is even more sensitive to this Calamity Aura.

Consequently, Zhou Chu prepared the Calamity Purification Stone and continued to approach the direction where the Demon Cave is located.

Finally, they arrived in front of a huge cave.

The cave emits a dense Calamity Aura, making one shudder with fear.

Zhou Chu stopped his steps and carefully observed the situation of this Demon Cave before him.

Inside the Demon Cave, a sinister wind howls and thick Calamity Mist permeates, making it impossible to see the situation inside with the naked eye.

If one wants to destroy this Demon Cave, one must go deep inside to find the Magic Source Core and use the Calamity Purification Stone to destroy it.

"Master, this is the No. 69 Demon Cave," Xina said.

Zhou Chu nodded; he took a deep breath, preparing to enter the Demon Cave.

Just at this moment, the walkie-talkie in his hand suddenly rang with a series of urgent sounds.

"Hello, hello, hello, is this Zhou Chu? I am Jia Mengshan, please answer if you hear me, please answer if you hear me..."
