Geniolau could barely accept the reality before him. While killing a mutated creature didn't yield just one point but was scored by the system based on its strength, a score of 12 million was outrageously beyond any reasonable expectation!
Even if a mutated creature averaged 100 points, that would require over a hundred thousand of them to reach this score!
Over a hundred thousand mutated creatures, what kind of concept was that? Even the mutated creatures on the first level of the Beast Nest, a thousand of them piled up could crush a person!
Moreover, Geniolau, as backend personnel, naturally knew that not every mutated creature could average a hundred points! And how much time had passed? Even if every mutated creature stood still and offered its neck, you couldn't kill a hundred thousand.
Staring fixedly at the computer screen, Geniolau's disbelief grew. He couldn't resist it any longer and clicked on Li Chonglou's name. After inputting a string of code, a "connecting" prompt suddenly popped up on the screen.
Meanwhile, in the Beast Nest, Li Chonglou, still immersed in his world of battle intent, suddenly felt a vibration at his neck. Not long after, he heard Geniolau's voice.
"Kid, what exactly are you doing right now? Why is your score increasing so outrageously?"
This sudden voice startled Li Chonglou out of his battle intent world. He instinctively replied,
"What's up?"
Geniolau, hearing those three words, felt a surge of speechlessness. If video data could be transmitted in real-time, or if unauthorized access wouldn't disrupt data statistics, he feared he would have already pulled up the video to investigate.
After speaking, Li Chonglou finally realized what was happening. His brow furrowed, and he asked in a low voice,
"You can check this thing? Does that mean you can see all video recordings?"
"This... you can indeed, but I can't watch it yet."
Li Chonglou's heart sank, and he quickly said, "This video must not be leaked. Can you delete me?"
"Can I watch it?"
"As you wish. Just don't let it leak."
After speaking, Li Chonglou looked down at the scoring device attached to his collar. Geniolau had personally helped him put it on when he left the stronghold.
Honestly, if Geniolau hadn't suddenly contacted him through it, he would have forgotten it even existed.
He now regretted not concealing it earlier, and the backpack slung across his chest hadn't managed to hide it either. If this kind of video leaked, it would undoubtedly expose one of Mai Qian's hidden trump cards.
As for Geniolau, Li Chonglou knew he would sneak a peek even if he didn't agree. So, he simply told him to do as he pleased.
Then, the now-sober Li Chonglou finally noticed the masterpiece beneath his feet, and he couldn't help but be inwardly astonished.
"If this were the past, it would surely be a fantasy!"
Having maintained a high-speed punching motion from start to finish, he felt no fatigue whatsoever, as if his body contained endless energy and his stamina had no limits!
This Mai Qian cultivation technique was truly terrifying!
However, at that moment, another voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Get lost!"
Hearing this unfamiliar roar, Li Chonglou jolted.
The voice was coming from the second level below. There were indeed survivors on the lower levels!
Joy instantly lit up Li Chonglou's face as he broke through the surrounding beast pack and quickly moved towards the passage to the second level.
On his path forward, blood mist erupted. Mutated creatures, in his high-speed punches, turned into masses of blood mist without even a chance to scream.
His strength had doubled compared to when he first entered!
Now, he didn't even need to touch the mutated creatures with his fists; just the force of his punches could inflict fatal damage!
In the passage leading to the second level, Zhang Hu, targeted by several mutated behemoths from the third level, found himself in an increasingly perilous situation.
If not for the wall behind him and the strength that surpassed his limits after his breakthrough, he would have long since become a pile of minced meat!
Therefore, he could only roar to suppress his fear of death. However, this method was quickly crushed by cruel reality. Such temporary peak strength after a breakthrough wouldn't last long, and the mutated behemoths from the third level were far superior to those on the first and second levels. He felt as though he could die at any moment!
There were three mutated behemoths targeting him. Because the passage had been widened, these three relatively smaller mutated behemoths attacked him almost simultaneously.
One of them was a combination of a gorilla and a monkey, possessing the strength of a gorilla and the agility of a monkey. It was the one that put the most pressure on Zhang Hu among the three mutated behemoths.
The most critical thing was that this creature didn't attack blindly. Even in its uncontrolled state, it instinctively resorted to ambushes, hammering him a couple of times now and then.
Although Zhang Hu blocked each strike with his arms, the force had already cracked his arm bones, causing him intense pain with every punch he threw.
"I am not reconciled!"
Zhang Hu, on the verge of exhaustion, kicked the attacking mutated behemoth away again. With a determined expression, he leaped fiercely towards the passage above.
He knew he couldn't hold on much longer. He just hoped to see for himself what was happening above before he died.
Otherwise, he wouldn't die in peace!
From a distance, Xi Wen and the others looked at his sudden action with sorrow in their eyes.
"Zhang Hu..."
Xi Wen whispered his name, as if to engrave it in his heart.
Everyone understood that this leap clearly meant he was disregarding the attacks from behind him, all for the sake of personally seeing the situation above.
And this time, Zhang Hu finally succeeded. With the remaining strength in his body, he made a desperate leap, and finally saw the situation outside the passage.
But there was no relief, no satisfaction.
In that second, all that appeared on his face was confusion, deep confusion.
Did I just see a mountain of corpses? And there's a person on it?
This intense visual impact left his mind blank, rendering him unable to think for a moment.
This was the reaction caused by extreme shock!
And at the same time, Li Chonglou also spotted Zhang Hu, his joyous expression mixed with a hint of anticipation.
