I only have passive skills, so I'm extremely cautious

Monsters are very strong and reckless. They are just like in a berserk state in ordinary battles. They have extraordinary combat power, extremely high pain resistance, and a certain immunity to spiritual power due to their magic power.

But there is a price!

It is exchanged for intelligence.

For example, ordinary spirit beasts can speak human language when they reach the fifth level, and their intelligence is not low. Those with superior talents and races can do it at the fourth level. Some spirit beasts who are proficient in human relationships are also very shrewd.

But monsters are different. Except for demons and a very small number of monster leaders, most monsters are ferocious beasts that obey primitive desires.

Fighting, greed, destruction, and reproduction are their only goals in the world.

Therefore, it is normal for them to fall into Chen Zhong's trap, not to mention that they have the assistance of Yang Qin, a master, to assassinate the best or troublemakers among monsters.

After all, no one has ever calculated the monsters in the maze in this way. Compared to the fearful days of the monsters in the magic cave, the monsters in the maze can be described as comfortable and cozy.

They have never suffered such grievances!

On the third day of killing monsters, the monster leaders on the upper floors surrendered one after another. Although they could not understand and communicate, they had strong perception and were deeply afraid of Green Corpse Cold.

More and more monsters admitted their defeat, and the demons from the first to the eleventh floor were recruited into the army. The creation mode was opened again and again, and the soul threads of the master-servant contract had developed to nearly a thousand.

But Chen Zhong hesitated to go down. The seven floors starting from the twelfth floor were all purgatory-level existences. Grandmasters had to be careful when entering, and always guard against being swallowed by the demon tide.

The lower world can only go deep into the eighteenth floor. If you want to go down further, you must cross a demon sea. This demon sea is similar to the ladder to the upper world, which is considered a strength dividing line.

Rumor has it that there are sixth-level monsters entrenched in the nineteenth floor!

Of course, the magic sea is for monsters to use. Normal people only need to ascend to the upper realm and enter the nineteenth floor directly from the entrance of the upper realm maze.

…

Just when Chen Zhong was making trouble in the maze, a group of visitors came to Tianyan Academy.

Members of the Lei family, one of the three major families of the Chiyan Empire!

The leader was the second cousin of the Fengyun brothers, Lei Shaotian, who was at the seventh level of the Soul Tempering Realm.

The strongest member of the Lei family is the current head of the family, Lei Shaoyu, who is at the peak of the ninth level of the Soul Tempering Realm and one step away from the Grandmaster Realm.

The strength of the Lei family and the Yan family, when placed in the spiritual martial arts forces, is probably similar to that of the Jinxiu Pavilion without an old Pavilion Master. The Sima family is much stronger because it has a Grandmaster in charge. However, the Sima family has fewer secular industries, and its financial resources and influence are weaker than the other two families. In this comparison, there is actually not much difference between the three major families.

In fact, what they are really proud of is not the combat power of the spiritual martial arts masters, but the influence on the social composition of the Chiyan Empire.

They are involved in a wide variety of industries, and all the chambers of commerce, big and small, have more or less cooperative relations with them. Once a family has a major problem, only the royal family can stabilize the situation by spending a lot of money to regulate it.

Lei Shaotian's mission on this trip is to donate a huge sum of money to Tianyan College, hoping to take more care of the Fengyun brothers.

The real purpose is actually to see Chen Zhong!

The four brothers Fengyun and Yan's brothers have mentioned Chen Zhong in the family. At that time, the adults in the family did not take it seriously. The younger generation's affairs should be handled by the younger generation.

After all, it is not a novel plot. If you beat the younger, the older one will come. If you beat the older one, the older one will come. It is not so easy to kill the whole family for a slight offense.

The higher you stand, the more you should restrain your words and deeds, and guard against real threats from all sides.

Moreover, the empire issued the most severe law at the establishment: excessive internal consumption is strictly prohibited, and every spiritual warrior is a precious fire to fight against the demon cave.

The three major families under the king's feet seem to be the most dandy, but in fact they are on a steep cliff.

As for why the Lei family made an exception?

It was because of Yan Chong's solemnity two days ago.

The Lei and Yan families are close, and the elders are very clear about Yan Chong's character. He is experienced and ruthless, acts after planning, mature and calm, and is not the kind of person who talks nonsense.

But this time, Yan Chong narrated the matter about Chen Zhong from beginning to end, begging the elders to realize the seriousness of the matter and let them know that this teenage freshman is extraordinary and has unlimited potential.

Yan Chong had to admit that he felt palpitations and fear for the first time. Chen Zhong's growth rate far exceeded his expectations, and he had an illusion that Chen Zhong seemed to have never exposed his true limit.

It seems that there are very few people who have seen him fight, even his friends in Shangshanmen don't know much about him.

"It's terrifying to think about it. If this boy can't turn enemies into friends with us, we can only get rid of him!"

When Yan Chong finished telling his thoughts in detail, his father, the head of the Yan family, couldn't help but say this.

The two families agreed, considering that Chen Zhong was a demon that Tianyan Academy paid attention to, they decided to send a more stable person to test it out first.

So, Lei Shaotian came.

Only after asking this question did they know that Chen Zhong was not in the academy, so after a few polite words, Lei Shaotian led a large group of people to the Zhongyue Maze Town.

Well... they didn't know what they would face next.

"I heard that the maze continued to riot after we left?" Lei Liyun asked anxiously, and it seemed that he didn't want to enter.

"It seems so, otherwise the town wouldn't be so lively." Yan Zhen found that the crowd gathered in the town was several times more than before.

The Fengyun brothers and Yan Zhen and the other two had completely become bystanders. They followed to see how Chen Zhong was defeated.

"Uncle Tian, ​​my spies have already looked for him. I haven't seen Chen Zhong in the town recently." Yan Chong approached, feeling helpless and irritated.

Lei Shaotian thought, "Well, I'll take some people into the maze to see what's going on. If something goes wrong, we'll evacuate. Yan Chong, you guys just squat outside the maze hall. If Chen Zhong shows up, don't alert him. Follow him first."

Yan Chong frowned. He actually wanted to go in, too. "Okay."

Lei Shaotian and more than 30 others walked into the maze.

The adventurers around them saluted with the same eyes as they would look at Deadpool.

Do they know what the maze looks like now? Those demons are like those who ran out of a mental hospital. Wherever they pass, there is no grass!

Seeing the death squad-like team sink into the darkness, the adventurers talked a lot.

"Tsk, I heard that they are from the Lei family?"

"Why? Do you want to join the team?"

"A little bit."

"Dream on, I just escaped death this morning, saved my life, and finally got out of the twelfth floor," said an uncle who was at the ninth level of the small success realm, his hand was still shaking a little as he pinched the cigarette, "There are more than a thousand demons, I just glanced at them, there are thirteen or fourteen fourth-level ones!"

Everyone was shocked, and fear crawled on their faces in disbelief.

The uncle then trembled and said, "The most terrifying is the leader of the demons, a guy wearing a bronze mask, I don't know if he is a human or a demon, I saw him draw his sword, at least five thousand demons knelt directly!"

"Raise your hand and knock down a large group of them!"

"That scene, that picture, I can't find an adjective to describe it!"

After listening to the uncle's exaggerated speech, no one said anything, and they were all imagining what kind of existence could knock down a large group of people with just a raise of his hand.
