The third monster that appeared in the light column was a 'twin-pronged flying mantis', also a level six evolved life form.
This was an insect man type monster, fast, with strong attack power and diverse abilities, but slightly lacking in defense. However, in Ye Zhongming's eyes, this twin-pronged flying mantis was more difficult to deal with than the previous two monsters.
At least for now, it seemed that no one in Cloud Summit Villa, including Ye Zhongming, could keep up with its speed. Once this creature gained the upper hand with its speed, it would be a torturous process leading to death.
In the fourth light column, the shadow of the monster that appeared was the 'weapon-wielding monster'. This was a humanoid life form, with a frog-like face but a body similar to that of a human, except it had six arms. Each arm wielded a weapon, and this monster was proficient with each weapon, skillfully coordinating them in combat.
Strictly speaking, the 'weapon-wielding monster' resembled a martial artist more than a beast.
In his previous life, Ye Zhongming knew of an organization that caught a not very high-level weapon-wielding monster and raised it, often sending people to battle it while others observed to learn its combat techniques.
Although this monster was only level six, it was enough to give Ye Zhongming a headache.
So far, all four monsters that had appeared were level six and elite existences among the same rank. Any one of them could pose a certain threat, and now four had appeared at once.
And the fifth… Ye Zhongming bitterly smiled, it should definitely be level seven.
Sure enough, when the fifth figure emerged, the light column barely accommodated the size of this monster. Clad in bright red battle armor, its head resembled that of a giant crocodile, with a pair of blue-green eyes that had a haunting gleam. Its body was bulky, standing upright, with a scaly tail swaying casually.
It had short upper limbs, but these limbs had three fingers and wielded a pair of massive copper hammers, each covered in glimmering spikes.
“Bill!”
Ye Zhongming's facial muscles twitched violently.
In his previous life, people would name those powerful monsters and mutated life forms, and almost every level nine zombie or monster had its own unique title.
For example, Yangos, or the level nine corpse king 'Black Gang' from his previous life in Ying City, and now this monster, Bill.
The name Bill comes from a famous movie on Earth, where it was the name of the big boss, highlighting the survivors' awe towards this beast.
Ye Zhongming naturally wouldn’t think that this Bill was the same as the one known from his previous life, but he could be certain that their strengths were similar.
Although the magic crystal on Bill's forehead was purple, indicating it was level seven, for everyone present, this was already a level that felt utterly despairing.
Even though Cloud Summit had previously killed a level seven creature, that was achieved through collective power. This time, it would ultimately require an individual to confront it, and this time it was a named monster far stronger than before.
“I just want to know, if we had chosen the highest difficulty, would a level nine monster have appeared?!”
Little Tiger looked at the five monsters that were clearly their opponents this time, cursing anxiously.
There was no choice, everyone had already chosen the lowest difficulty, yet they still had to face four level six monsters and one level seven. What kind of challenge would they face if it was three difficulties higher at the highest red level?
It would be a guaranteed death!
Although everyone was confident they could pass and obtain the final rewards today, how would they count the losses? How many would have to die?
After Little Tiger cursed, the group fell silent, their eyes involuntarily focusing on Ye Zhongming.
“Use manpower!”
Xia Lei looked at Ye Zhongming, who was frowning in thought, and suddenly turned to speak to the core members of Cloud Summit.
