"He can also replenish a shield every 30 seconds." Li Li added lightly.

Dao Jie:...

While they were talking, Xiao Feng, relying on his extremely fast movement speed, charged into the monster pile.

A quick scan showed they were all small monsters around level 80 to 100.

He casually swept out a Swift Wind Blade.

Whoosh~

The Swift Wind Blade can sweep 330 meters away, but it dissipates after triggering up to 10 hits of damage, disappearing after slaying a few monsters.

"You defeated a Ghost Scout, gaining 853 experience points."

"You defeated......"

"You defeated......"

The system messages flooded the screen, but Xiao Feng frowned and said: "The experience is a bit low."

He now needs 7,000,000 experience to level up; each monster gives only over 800, so he needs to kill about eight or nine thousand of them.

Although it's little, there are many monsters; killing more is still possible!

"Summon——Flame Monarch!"

Xiao Feng paused slightly, chanted for 3 seconds, and summoned a huge beast.

"Roar~"

The Flame Giant rose from the ground, being more than ten times taller than the ghost monsters.

Seeing this, members of the Dragon Soul Guild in the distance all exclaimed in surprise.

"What's going on? How can it be so huge! Did a mythic boss appear in the first wave of monsters?"

"Idiot! That's Xiao Feng the god's summoned creature, an ally!"

"Holy shit, this momentum...... I feel like the danger isn't us, but the monster army."

"Umm...... couldn't agree more."
