The real heiress has a super-rich system; it's your turn to fawn over her.

Chapter 227 Underground Peril

The monster that had just been biting him was instantly knocked away by him.

However, these things had a kind of obsession with the living. Even as they were being knocked away, they still bit Kong Yingjie's finger tightly, and in the end, they actually bit off one of his fingers alive.

After rolling on the ground, the humanoid monster swallowed its finger whole, its dark eyes gleaming with greed.

It emitted a piercing screech, as if a mechanism had been activated, and then pounced on the person closest to it.

The attack was still aimed at a member of the Kong family, but because this person's strength was only at the Innate Realm, when suddenly attacked by a humanoid monster, the monster simply jumped on him and held his head.

Before he could break free, the humanoid monster lunged at his skull.

The skull bones are quite hard, but in this monster's mouth, they were as easy as eating a small bread roll.

With a single bite, the brain matter, like jelly, was quickly swallowed by the monster.

Those bitten by it die instantly before they even have a chance to struggle.

Everyone who saw this scene felt a chill run down their spine; the monster's eating manner was simply too horrifying.

At this moment, Kong Yingjie covered his injured finger, and was no longer the person who had been lecturing Kong Wei. Now he was only filled with relief.

However, thinking about his bitten finger, he vented his anger on Kong Wei.

"Kong Wei, did you do that on purpose? You clearly saw that the statue was alive, and you deliberately provoked me to attack, didn't you?"

Kong Yingjie's face was somewhat ferocious as he questioned Kong Wei.

Kong Wei had no interest in paying attention to him. If the sculpture from before was alive, what about the rest?

Thinking of this, he felt a chill run down his spine and looked to Tian Zhenzhen for help.

He was no match for these monsters, let alone escape, especially since Kong Yingjie was still eyeing him menacingly.

It was at this moment that the humanoid monster was finally killed by the master of the Kong family.

Many people were shocked by what had just happened and instinctively moved away from the two walls.

Even the furious Kong Yingjie finally regained some composure and moved away from where he had been.

But as soon as he took a step away, the sculptures on the wall slowly came to life. They twitched their noses, smelled the blood in the air, and drooled profusely.

Yingjie, whose fingers still bore bloody holes, quickly became their target, and many humanoid monsters attacked him.

Kong Yingjie is a grandmaster-level expert, so dealing with these humanoid monsters shouldn't be too difficult for him.

With each palm strike, he channeled steel energy, sending the humanoid monsters that tried to approach him flying through the air.

Some were knocked away and quickly changed targets, while others were hit and immediately turned into limp lumps on the ground, not moving again.

Not only Kong Yingjie, but all the members of the four major families encountered this trouble.

With Tian Daqiang backing her up, Tian Zhenzhen and Kong Wei both took action and injured several animals.

They soon discovered that these humanoid monsters were difficult to kill. Even martial artists at the Innate Realm would find it hard to kill them with a single blow. If several of them attacked one at the same time, the monsters would easily succeed.

If it weren't for Tian Daqiang's safety net, Tian Zhenzhen and Kong Wei would probably have been swallowed up long ago, given their numbers.

Kong Yingjie originally thought that Kong Wei and Tian Zhenzhen would be difficult to deal with, but thinking that Kong Wei couldn't die so easily, he planned to let him suffer a bit before saving him.

I didn't see how hard it was for a grandmaster like him to fight.

It's important to understand that there's a huge gap between innate martial artists and grandmasters.

Many people never reach the level of a grandmaster in their entire lives.

But just as he finished dealing with a humanoid monster and turned to see the two men's pathetic state...

They found Kong Wei perfectly fine, killing monsters.

This...this is impossible.

Just as he was distracted, the humanoid monster lunged at him again.

These monsters seem to have a particular fondness for brains, as one of them leaped and grabbed Kong Yingjie's head.

Kong Yingjie had personally witnessed how that person's brains were sucked out.

The stench emanating from these monsters was still pungent, and their icy touch made Kong Yingjie feel danger approaching.

At this moment, he could no longer care about Kong Wei. With a powerful palm strike, he ended the humanoid monster's life before it could even open its mouth.

But in the brief moment he was distracted, several more humanoid monsters came to his side and bit him.

These monsters had extremely sharp teeth, and several of them were hanging on his body at the same time, which looked terrifying.

By the time Kong Yingjie was completely freed, he had bled profusely and had a lot of flesh torn off his body, causing him to grimace in pain.

On the other hand, Kong Wei was completely unharmed thanks to Tian Daqiang's protection.

Tian Zhenzhen also used her sword control technique to make these monsters practice with her.

As her skill level increased, Tian Zhenzhen's throwing knives became more intuitive and powerful, improving both their accuracy and force.

Tian Zhenzhen felt like she was leveling up by slaying monsters, and there was even a monster-slaying expert standing next to her.

However, the situation for others is not optimistic.

Especially Lei, who came down first, and the Kong family had already lost a lot of people.

The Lan and Le families, who came down later, saw that the situation was not good and retreated to a safe area.

The humanoid monsters that came back to life all followed the principle of proximity; only a few came toward them, but they were quickly dealt with.

Seeing that many people from the Lei and Kong families had died, the heads of both families no longer held back.

A Grandmaster's move is truly different; one palm strike takes away several people.

Half an hour later, they finally defeated the last humanoid monster.

However, the Lei and Kong families suffered heavy losses. Apart from the outside help they brought in, only the main branch members and those at the Grandmaster level survived.

Once the matter was resolved, the Le and Lan families finally came over.

Upon seeing them, Lei Xing's eyes practically spit fire.

"Le Tianlu, Lan Lingyang, you are doing very well!"

"You used us as tools, and now that we've killed these monsters, you've come back again."

"Lei Xing, what kind of talk is that? If you wanted to come in first, it wasn't us who forced you in with knives."

Since you're aiming for first place, you should be willing to take this risk.

Lan Lingyang said dismissively, "If their elite warriors hadn't suffered too few losses, she might have even kicked them while they were down."

“Yes, Lei Xing, the altar is right in front of you. You just used a lot of your true energy. I advise you to prioritize the important matters.”

Le Tianlu echoed this sentiment, his words carrying a warning.

If Lei Xing causes trouble at this time, it may be disadvantageous for them.

Just as the group was arguing, Tian Daqiang opened a protective shield on Tian Zhenzhen.

Tian Zhenzhen quickly sensed it and hurriedly inquired about the situation.

"what happened?"

"We detected the presence of deadly gases in the air and activated the protective shield to protect our boss."
