The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

After eating and drinking their fill, Yuwen Hao paid the bill, and the two went home together.

"Old Song, let me tell you, I found another comic book today, it's absolutely top-notch!"

Perhaps he was too happy, Yuwen Hao drank a bit too much, he was unsteady on his feet and his mouth was slurred.

"What's the point of comics? I prefer real people."

"You don't understand. Everyone has flaws, but paintings can depict perfect bodies and imaginative poses!"

"You're a real expert, you fucking idiot..."

When the two walked into a dirty and messy alley, Yuwen Hao clutched his stomach, looking somewhat pained.

"Ouch... my stomach hurts a bit. That grilled kidney I just ate, I knew it smelled a bit sour, and it really wasn't clean. I'm going to use the restroom..."

There are no public toilets in this area.

Yuwen Hao simply went into the alley and relieved himself right there among the row of buckets storing swill.

Song Gua stood at the alley entrance waiting for him.

The dim streetlights swayed.

Dark clouds obscured the moonlight.

There was no one around, and it was completely quiet.

"Old Song, are you still there?"

Song Gua stood there playing on his phone.

"I'm here."

"Could you come closer? I'm a little scared."

"A grown man like you is afraid of the dark."

"No, what are you talking about? Something that looks like a monster but doesn't have an information panel."

"What the hell are you talking about...?"

Song Gua looked away from his phone.

Suddenly, a tall figure was seen crawling out of a bucket of swill.

This is a monster!

A long, narrow head.

Dark brown skin.

Sharp teeth and claws!

"Alien?!"

The monster let out a low growl, leaped, and crawled along the wall with its limbs close to it, quickly moving to Yuwen Hao's side.

"Fuck you! I haven't even wiped my ass yet!"

*Smack!*

The monster's target was not Yuwen Hao, but Song Gua.

As it rushed over, its tail accidentally brushed against Yuwen Hao, instantly sending him flying.

Yuwen Hao fell outside the alley and immediately lost consciousness.

"How could there be monsters in the city?"

"A survivor from the last siege?"

"But why can't we view the information panel? Monsters don't have the ability to hide information, and they certainly can't equip secret treasures!"

This was the first time the clones had encountered such a situation.

The other side came on strong.

Song Gua remained calm, mobilized the power of unity, first boosted his own attributes, and then leaped easily onto the roof of a three-story building next to him.

During the levitation, Song Gua took out a prop from his backpack.

The Eye of Reconnaissance.

An epic treasure.

It was one of the drops from previous world bosses.

The effect is that a small map appears in Song Gua's field of vision, marking all professionals within a one-kilometer radius, including invisible units.

If the other party hides information, a rating will be assigned.

If it's not hidden, it will display things like occupation, age, and name.

"There's no one lying in ambush nearby, so I can use my clones to fight."

Song Gua immediately released Monkey King, ordering him to summon the Somersault Cloud and take Yuwen Hao to the hospital.

Then, as quickly as possible, he put on the dice-shaped headgear and wrapped himself in a black Taoist robe.

Meanwhile, the monster, like Spider-Man, had already climbed up the wall.

Song Gua released more than a dozen main clones, led by Huo Zi Ge, to attract the monster's attention and buy time for Hou Ge.

The monster moves very fast.

As Song Gua pulled out its clone, it leaped up, sending debris flying from the roof.

Those sharp claws could cut through iron like mud, and their movements were as swift as lightning, leaving many afterimages.

The newly summoned clones hadn't even had time to stand firm before they were swept away in the blink of an eye.

"Sizzle!!"

The ear-piercing sound of flesh being torn apart.

Fragments of the clones' robes flew into the air, splattering blood everywhere.

Only Huozi Ge managed to dodge the attack by leaping into the air with flames shooting from his hands.

This monster seems to be a little afraid of fire; when it sees flames, it covers its face with its claws.

Song Gua quickly retracted the injured clones, activated one of them's jump skill, and leaped onto the roof of a nearby building, creating distance between himself and the monster.

Another batch of clones was summoned.

This monster has no information panel and you can't see its health bar.

Without knowing his true strength, Song Gua would not directly engage him, lest he be caught off guard and suffer an unexpected defeat.

"Blizzard Warlock, freeze him quickly!"

Blizzard Warlock, S-rank, Combat, Control Sequence.

It was the S-rank job change medal that Song Gua obtained after breaking through the level 20 dungeon, Frost Castle.

If we don't use Bloodbringer as a control sequence, then Blizzard Warlock is currently the class with the highest control ability among bandits.

"A world of ice and snow!"

The temperature around them dropped instantly, snowflakes began to fall, and frost formed on the ground.

The cold air visibly gathered around the monster, aiming to cause it to lose temperature and condense into ice from the inside.

The Blizzard Warlock had indeed succeeded. The brown, alien-like creature was covered in a layer of ice crystals, presumably indicating that its blood and bodily fluids had solidified.

But just half a second later, it resumed its activity as if nothing had happened.

They attacked the clones with even greater speed.

The clones' skills bombarded him, producing a ping-pong sound, with many even bouncing back, having little effect!

"A rare skill; if it hits, it should theoretically stun for 5 seconds! How come it..."

A non-targeting control spell hit the Blizzard Warlock thanks to his excellent prediction, but it failed to work, leaving him stunned.

A red whip flew over, wrapped around the Blizzard Warlock, and pulled him aside.

The monster's sharp claws slashed across the spot where he had just stood, and this time, they actually created a sonic boom!

Song Gua noticed this.

Did he hold back his strength earlier, or did his power increase during the battle?

Standing on another building, Blood Brother said, "This guy's using brute force, not resistance! His strength is astonishing!"

Song Gua said, "It's not just its strength, its defense is also terrifying. Its skin is practically a steel plate, yet it doesn't hinder its movement and it's extremely agile."

Blood Brother made a quick decision: "No, we can't fight like this! Either the brothers self-destruct, or we retreat!"

"Let's retreat. Monkey King has already flown far away; this guy shouldn't be able to catch up."

Fire Bro flies by breathing fire with both hands. While in the air, he waves his hand and releases a skill to cushion the fall.

"Inferno!!"

A large area of ​​flames descended.

No matter how fast this monster is, there's no way to avoid it.

After being scorched by flames, Song Gua observed that its speed and power seemed to have decreased.

"Chirp—"

It made a strange noise.

"As expected, he's afraid of fire."

Taking advantage of the monster's movements being slowed by the flames, Song Gua retracted all his clones and prepared to retreat.

Just then.

The Detective's minimap shows that five professionals above level 40 are heading straight for this spot at great speed.

They all concealed their information; their names and professions were not visible.

"withdraw!"

Song Gua retracted all his clones and swapped positions with one clone that remained at home.

The clone that was switched was an assassin. He immediately used his stealth skill to disappear into the night and vanish into the complex terrain of the slums.

The people Song Gua saw on the mini-map were Wang Miao and his group.

"Aberrant Beast!!"

Seeing the monster struggling in the flames, Wang Miao's eyes widened in anger, his eyes bloodshot.

"Team leader, this guy's life fluctuation data is a bit strange. Compared to those we've encountered before, the value is slightly lower."

"Capture him alive! Take him back for research!"

The five people took out some professional capture tools from their backpacks and began to attack the monster.
