The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Su Mu did not rush to get closer.

He stopped dozens of meters outside the entrance, squatted on top of a sand dune, and scanned the area around the entrance with both his senses and his eyes.

Four monsters.

It is half-humanoid, with a tail, long limbs, and skin that is a dark yellow color similar to sand.

They didn't gather together, but stood in twos and threes on either side of the entrance, relaxed as if dozing off. But Su Mu noticed that the tip of one of their tails was constantly tapping the ground gently, at a very steady frequency, like some kind of alarm device.

In addition, Su Mu also found two other odd places near the entrance.

Not far away, there are two patches of "sand" that are exactly the same color as the surrounding sand.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that the edges of those two places have slightly unnatural bulges, as if something is lying there.

Moreover, Su Mu noticed that one of the two "invisible" monsters had just moved, raised its head towards the entrance, and then made a gesture that resembled speaking.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

The two unseen monsters were communicating.

They do have a language.

Su Mu did not rush to make a move, but instead took out a pair of minimalist-style framed glasses from his pocket and put them on.

Combat Detection Goggles (Third Generation)

Quality: Green

Effect: Can detect the base attributes of targets no higher than 7 levels above itself, and generate an estimated combat value based on this. Created by the Seventh World.

Note: Combat value is calculated based solely on the target's base attributes and does not include factors such as skills, talents, equipment, or status. Significant errors may occur for higher-level or special life forms.

This was given to him by Bai Liuxi.

However, Su Mu never took this combat value seriously.

He knew very well that the real threat to a target often lay hidden outside the control panel.

After all, attributes are only one part of true combat power.

Therefore, combat value is just something to look at and shouldn't be used as the sole basis for judging victory or defeat.

Conversely, for some ordinary monsters, or survivors without many special abilities, this number can indeed provide them with the most intuitive reference.

Especially now.

He looked at the two invisible monsters communicating through the blue light of the lenses, and lines of data automatically popped up and landed on their hiding place.

[Gatekeeper (Lv15, White)...Guardian of the Secret Realm Entrance]

Power: 312

Physical condition: 298

Agility: 340

Spirit: 176

Skills: Stealth, Cooperation, Tail Sting Combo

Combat strength assessment: 1526

Note: Guardians at the entrance to the secret realm possess excellent stealth and teamwork abilities. Their base stats are significantly higher than ordinary monsters of the same level, and their guarding mechanics are currently unknown.

Lv15, White grade.

Normally, a white monster of this level should only have a combat power of around 1,000.

But the gatekeeper in front of us has a combat power of over 1,500, which is equivalent to 1.5 times that of an ordinary monster of the same level.

"No wonder Lin Yuwei's intelligence report was marked as extremely dangerous."

Su Mu thought to himself, "If these gatekeepers attack at the same time, even if she were level 15, let alone her current level, she still wouldn't be able to withstand more than a few rounds of attacks."

However, for Su Mu, this attribute is far from enough.

He put down his backpack, set up his AWM on the top of the dune, and aimed the muzzle at one of the outer guards.

At this distance, he could even leisurely wait for the other person to move to a more suitable position to be hit.

"Let's test the gun first."

Pull the trigger; the AWM's recoil is now useless against him, and he doesn't even need to aim—he can just fire in bursts.

The bullet pierced the air above the desert and struck the monster's head precisely.

Combine your talents with weaknesses, multiple combos, and afterimage combos.

Half of the creature's head was ripped off, and its body fell backward without even struggling.

[Kill the Lv15 gatekeeper, experience points +10.]

Su Mu was taken aback.

The experience points are incorrect.

He is already level 16. Monsters below his level will have their level reduced to 0.1.

Before he could think it through, the remaining three gatekeepers had already moved.

They reacted extremely quickly, charging towards Su Mu the instant their companion was blown in the head, their tails swishing across the ground, creating three streaks of sand.

The speed is good, but it's still far behind Su Mu.

Su Mu did not use the gun again.

He put away his AWM, summoned the Overlord Spear from the void, stepped out of the sand dune, and headed straight for the three monsters.

The monster at the front arrived first by its tail, sweeping towards Su Mu's calf like a whip, carving a shallow groove in the sand.

Without even looking, Su Mu shifted his feet, pressed down on the butt of the spear, and pinned the butt to the ground.

The monster froze, and Su Mu's spear tip had already pierced its throat.

The second claw reached his face almost simultaneously, but Su Mu dodged to the side, swinging his gun over his shoulder, the tip slicing through the chest and abdomen of the third monster. The two monsters were knocked back, but did not fall immediately.

Su Mu didn't give them a chance to adjust. He stepped forward, his spear flashing like a dragon, striking one after another, pinning the remaining two to the sand.

It took less than fifteen seconds in total.

However, just as the last monster fell to the ground, a very light breeze suddenly came from Su Mu's lower back.

The wind was so fine that it was almost not wind, but rather a highly compressed killing intent directed at a single point.

He already knew the location of the two invisible monsters.

He even knew they were waiting for an opportunity when all his attention was on the positive.

But he still gave them that chance.

Because behind him, the afterimage combo had already been triggered.

A pale golden afterimage appeared behind him, a spear flashing across the sky, precisely intercepting the attack route of one of the invisible monsters. The monster was pierced through by the afterimage's spear, revealing its true form from the void, and flew backward.

The second one pounced from another angle, faster, its claws almost grazing the back of his neck.

Then Su Mu turned around.

His eyes met those of the monster.

Su Mu's calm face was reflected in the monster's pupils. The next moment, the Overlord Spear pierced through its chest, pinning it to the sand.

[Kill the Lv15 gatekeeper, experience points +10.]

[Kill the Lv15 gatekeeper, experience points +10.]

It's still 10 o'clock.

Su Mu frowned and withdrew his spear. The experience points from these monsters were indeed abnormal, and after killing six of them, not a single one had dropped a loot box.

Somewhat strange.
