But the final day of the trial arrived earlier than any other.
At three in the morning, the defense towers within the territory began their attack, and the dense sounds of explosions woke everyone up.
Chen Qingzhi was the first to react. The entire territory's city defense was under his responsibility. He had already arranged for people to take shifts on the city walls.
The soldiers on duty immediately went to the barracks to report the situation in the four directions of the territory. He got up at once and ordered the soldiers to don their gear and head to the four city walls to defend against the monsters.
"So early."
Zhou Yan checked the time. They had only rested for three hours.
His strength was immense, so he didn't need much rest.
However, the ordinary soldiers had been fighting for a long time, and now they had to continue fighting so soon.
But they were not ordinary soldiers; they could withstand this intensity of combat.
He, along with Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and others, immediately arrived on the city walls. Today was the last and most difficult day of the novice trial.
He saw the monsters outside. They were a group of level 20 normal monsters.
【Monster: Black Cloud Leopard】
【Quality: Normal】
【Race: Demonic Beast】
【Level: 20】
【Special: Speed】
【Description: A type of leopard from the Demonic Beast Forest, slightly faster.]
"Normal monsters?"
He was indeed a little surprised. Although the monsters' levels were one higher than yesterday, their combat power was still inferior to yesterday's level 19 elite monsters.
As the saying goes, when something is unusual, there's a demon.
The monsters today were definitely not as simple as they appeared.
Chen Qingzhi had also discovered the problem long ago. Upon seeing Zhou Yan arrive, he proactively said, "Lord, today's monsters should be different from before."
"What are your thoughts?" Zhou Yan asked.
"The monsters on the other three sides are also level 20 normal monsters, but there won't be too many of these monsters. There will definitely be stronger monsters waiting for us later."
"However, Lord, you don't need to worry too much. The soldiers' levels are all around 35, so facing these level 20 monsters, we have a level advantage," Chen Qingzhi replied.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Today is the last day. The battles ahead will be very difficult."
"Yes."
The number of monsters was still very large, like a swarm of locusts, rapidly approaching the territory. These monsters were all about the same size, around two meters, but they were fast and numerous.
Relying on their numbers, quite a few monsters broke through the defense towers' coverage and engaged the soldiers in fierce combat.
The soldiers formed battle formations and quickly eliminated these monsters.
After an hour of such combat, the types of monsters began to change.
A different type of monster appeared.
【Monster: Netherworld Leopard】
【Quality: Elite】
【Race: Demonic Beast】
【Level: 20】
【Special: Speed】
【Description: Monsters from the Demonic Beast Forest, relatively fast.]
These leopards were even faster than the previous Black Cloud Leopards. Moreover, Chen Qingzhi informed him that the monsters on the other three sides were all different from each other.
This side was attacked by monsters with high speed, the left side by monsters with high strength, the right side by monsters with strong defense, and the rear by monsters with robust physiques.
These monsters were not large in size, but their numbers were indeed immense, with almost no gaps, densely packed as if a beast tide had appeared.
"Could it be that the monsters change to a stronger type every hour?"
He began to speculate.
After five o'clock, his guess was confirmed.
The monsters had indeed changed again.
It was an Evolved Elite·Shadow Leopard.
The monsters on the other three sides also changed to stronger ones.
Their levels were all 20.
The number of monsters was enormous, almost pushing their way forward.
The attack density was several times that of yesterday.
Although the soldiers' strength levels were high, they did not slacken at all, continuously attacking.
At this time, the heroes began to engage.
They started attacking these monsters, reducing the pressure on the soldiers.
With the heroes present, these monsters could not inflict too much damage on the city walls.
After six o'clock, the monster type changed again.
It was a level 20 Mutated Elite·Nether Zombie Leopard. These monsters also possessed a virus ability, requiring extreme caution.
The monsters' strength grew stronger, and the attack density did not cease for a moment.
As soon as the defense towers' second skill cooled down, it was released.
But these monsters were endless; they were simply buying time.
Today's battle was a long grueling test of physical strength and endurance.
Chen Qingzhi had already begun to change tactics. He had arranged for some soldiers to rest for half an hour in advance so that they could maintain their long-term combat effectiveness.
With the heroes present, despite the large number of monsters, breaking through the city walls was still very difficult.
Zhou Yan himself continued to unleash 《Meteor Shower》. His profession was unique; the Yin and Yang energies within his body could be converted into the energy required for any skill.
He discovered that releasing skills at such high intensity was also beneficial for his cultivation, greatly stimulating the circulation speed of the techniques within his body.
It accelerated the recovery of his strength.
At the end of six o'clock, a leader-level monster appeared.
Although he was surprised, a single leader could not change anything.
This leader was eliminated by the defense towers before it could even reach the soldiers.
At seven o'clock, the monster type became a level 20 Enhanced Elite·Demon Leopard, a monster of the demon race.
Their fangs were exceptionally sharp, possessing powerful biting force, and their speed was not slow.
Fortunately, the soldiers had high levels, strong equipment, and shields, so they did not exert too much effort to resist.
At ten minutes before eight, two leader-level monsters appeared.
The other three directions also saw two leader-level monsters each.
The number of leader-level monsters appearing today had increased.
But their strength was ultimately too low, and they were killed by the various heroes.
At eight o'clock, the monsters transformed into Special Elite·Dark Abyss Leopards. These leopards were slightly larger than the previous monsters, each about two point five to three point five meters long.
These monsters were stronger than the previous ones in terms of strength, speed, defense, and physique.
Due to their size, their numbers were slightly fewer, but the pressure on the soldiers increased.
However, none of this was a major issue. Apart from a few injured soldiers, everything else was fine.
This continued until ten minutes before nine, when three leader-level Dark Abyss Leopards reappeared.
