I summon the heroic spirits of China in the infinite world.

More than an hour later, dawn finally arrived at today's destination.

This is a valley full of jagged rocks, surrounded by steep cliffs.

The triangular-shaped mountainsides almost close at the top, creating a space that is not very bright.

These dark, shadowy corners of the earth are perfect for monsters to lurk.

Without going any deeper, he could see several figures leaping back and forth on the rock face.

Clearly, these monsters have a keen sense of smell, and their presence, along with that of the Heroic Spirit, has successfully attracted them.

This situation suited Li Ming's wishes perfectly, because it saved him effort.

"As usual, the stone monkey eats first."

With a wave of his hand, he deployed the stone monkey inside the valley entrance.

The unique blue light emanating from the heroic spirit immediately attracted the attention of the monsters.

After a series of strange chirping sounds, a humanoid figure leaped to the ground and ran towards the valley entrance using both hands and feet.

"They're here."

Li Ming's expression hardened.

Several monkey-like monsters rushed out from the depths of the cave.

They are not large, only half the height of a person, and their arms are longer than their hind limbs.

Its face was contorted in a ferocious grimace, with sharp fangs protruding from its mouth.

Its fiery red fur was particularly eye-catching.

According to intelligence reports, this monster is called the Red Mountain Demon.

They are short-tempered, agile, and prefer to work in groups.

The level is around LV3 or LV4.

"The quantity is indeed quite large."

Li Ming roughly counted them and found that, apart from the few running in the lead, there were quite a few following behind.

There are definitely more than ten in total.

In the past, whether it was keeping watch at night or clearing out monster strongholds, it was rare to encounter so many monsters at once.

For example, when clearing monster strongholds, if you lure the monsters yourself, they usually come in groups of several.

This is the first time I've encountered so many at once.

"Perfect, it swipes fast."

Dawn showed no fear whatsoever.

His goal today is to reach the milestone of 1000 kills as soon as possible.

Although these mandrills are agile, they are actually quite weak.

They're similar to goblins, but far inferior to those rotting corpses.

It's perfect for boosting the quantity.

Moreover, their two key characteristics—their ability to travel in groups and their agility—are countered by the enemy's own forces.

Ma Chao brought two Iron Guards, so his side actually had five Heroic Spirits, which could counter the opponent's numerical advantage.

Zhao Yun is more agile, especially after his [Peerless Dust] skill is fully stacked.

"superior."

At dawn's command, the two heroic spirits charged forward, weapons in hand.

Of course, his tactics weren't just about mindless firefights.

Instead, the stone monkey is first allowed to draw aggro in front, and then the two main combatants are defeated one by one.

I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan!

Zhao Yun took the lead, his bright silver spear flashing with cold light as he thrust it toward the foremost mountain demon.

The mandrill reacted quite quickly, actually trying to dodge by pushing off with both feet.

However, Zhao Yun was faster.

His feet moved in quick succession, the tip of his spear following closely as he thrust out again.

In just a few breaths, the mandrill was hit by several bullets, screaming as it turned into ashes and dissipated.

"Four basic attacks".

Li Ming silently counted, and it seemed that these mandrills indeed had low health.

[All troops, attack!]

On the other side, Ma Chao was not to be outdone.

He swept his tiger-headed golden spear horizontally, sending the nearest mountain demon flying far away.

Kill them!

His two henchmen, Iron Guards, also chased after him with weapons to finish him off.

Li Ming soon discovered that there was also tactical coordination between Ma Chao and the two Iron Guards.

Although these two Iron Guards are not under my direct control, they are absolutely fearless in a fight.

With their help, Ma Chao's pressure in all aspects was greatly reduced.

He calmly wielded his spear, reaping the lives of the mandrills.

"These two heroic spirits are far more formidable than I imagined."

Watching from behind, Li Ming gradually formed a judgment.

To be honest, although Ma Chao and Zhao Yun's single-hit output ability is slightly worse than Zhang Fei's, considering their respective characteristics, they are actually no less capable.

Ma Chao relies on the extra damage output from his two Iron Guards, while Zhao Yun relies on his higher attack speed.

Zhao Yun, in particular, could fire four shots in the time it took Ma Chao to fire three.

In addition, once the [Dust Strike] skill is fully stacked, the speed is so fast that it's almost like a blur, making it very difficult for monsters to hit you with your agile movement.

But in fact, the Stone Monkey's output is no worse than these two heroes, and it can even be said to be stronger, much stronger.

Because there are many mandrills, it's easy to stack 10 attacks on them quickly.

Once this large rock started rolling, none of the mandrills surrounding it escaped unscathed; they were almost all killed instantly.

Even if it doesn't kill instantly, it'll be left with very low health, and a couple of hits from the Iron Guard will finish it off.

As a result, the kill count is rising rapidly.

As dawn watched the numbers on the milestone panel jump around, a sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

920…940…960…980……1000！

[Milestone achieved: 1000 monster kills.]

[Next stage: 1000/10000 monsters killed.]

[Received 1 Chinese Heroic Spirit Card, 2 random Cube Stone Cards, and 5000 Cube Coins.]

"finally!"

Li Ming's spirits lifted.

But when he saw the reward, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"How come there's only one Heroic Spirit Card?"

Killing 100 monsters will reward you with 1 Chinese Heroic Spirit Card.

No matter how many monsters you kill, you still only get one card.

"But it's okay, at least I'm probably already financially independent in this instance."

But when he looked at the reward of 5000 cubic coins, he was content.

"Which Heroic Spirit should I summon this time...?"

For a moment, he hesitated.

To be honest, although the strength of the summoned heroes so far has been very satisfactory, I don't actually plan to use too many hero cards in the Three Kingdoms generals "card pack".

After all, there are so many heroic spirits in China, so there must be some very strong cards in other card packs as well.

However, there are two "Three Kingdoms" heroes that he would definitely not miss.

Those were Zhuge Liang and Lü Bu.

Zhuge Liang is a figure in the Shu Kingdom that is no less important than the Five Tiger Generals; he is a household name among the Chinese people.

Lu Bu, who is said to be able to fight three heroes, wants to see if he is really stronger than Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei combined.

"Never mind, I'll think about it some more."

"Let's take a look at what these two are first."

He shook his head and turned his gaze to the two random cube cards.

The back designs of these two cards are no different from those of the other Sub-Cube Stone cards.

The difference lies in the design on the front, which is a large question mark.

He hadn't forgotten that he still had a 3/10 sub-cube milestone. As long as these two sub-cubes weren't ones he already owned, the milestone would reach 5/10, which would be more than halfway there.

So, on a whim, Dawn opened the first card.

A burst of intense light flashed across the question mark pattern, and then, like a slot machine in a casino, various shapes and colors began to roll rapidly.
