After Turning Into A Little Skeleton, I Got Contracted By A Goddess

As they entered the mountain range, the two of them became more careful.

After all, the situation now was different from before. If he thought that he would encounter a higher-level monster in a high-profile manner, then he would really have to run back dejectedly.

However, since they were in the outer region, the monsters' levels couldn't be very high. As such, the two of them didn't even need to be afraid of fighting.

Soon, Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui found their target.

This was a group of monsters that looked like monkeys but were several times larger. They constantly wandered in the mountains and forests, hunting small animals for food.

Most of them were at level 2, with a small portion being at level 3.

[Why don't we use these monkey monsters as practice?] Yan Wuyue looked at Zhou Mingrui.

If it was before, they wouldn't even look at them because the level was too low, and they provided too little experience.

[Alright, let's start with them!] Zhou Mingrui nodded.

Now that he was inferior to them, he had to lower his head. No matter how small a mosquito's leg was, there was still flesh, right?

Energy surged from Zhou Mingrui's body as he quickly condensed a silver energy saber in his hand. Its appearance was not as exquisite as the Nether Flame Bone Blade from before, but it won in its simplicity.

The two of them charged forward. The monkey noticed them and attracted the attention of the tribe.

A large number of monkey monsters quickly spread out and surrounded the two of them. Then, they began to throw all kinds of hard objects at them.

Don't underestimate the monkey monsters' attacks. Even hard objects could make whistling sounds when they were thrown. It was clear that each of them carried a great amount of power.

Moreover, the attacks were coming from all directions, so dense that it could be said to have formed a bullet screen.

In the beginning, Zhou Mingrui and Yan Wuyue used their weapons to block the attacks. Later on, they formed energy shields to block the attacks.

At that moment, Zhou Mingrui only had his basic level and attributes. He also had a handful of energy to use. He had no other means of attack.

However, it was also under such circumstances that it was the most suitable time to train his foundation.

His subconscious training for combat and the knowledge from the stone tablet immediately produced a chemical reaction in this environment.

In the past, Zhou Mingrui felt as though he was wearing a thick, full-body bulletproof vest. In addition, he was holding a lethal weapon like [Soul Attachment]. He basically did not care about the details of combat or energy.

It was just like when he was rich, he didn't care even if he dropped a bun for breakfast. Now that he was short of money, he would pick up even a handful of vegetables to eat.

The various pieces of information in Zhou Mingrui's mind began to merge rapidly. Following that, his feet glowed with a bright light. The next moment, he charged in one direction with his energy shield.

Seeing this, Yan Wuyue hurriedly followed. At this moment, she was only responsible for helping Zhou Mingrui harvest, and deal with the additional troubles, so that he could focus on the battle.

Fortunately, the five times experience was a special talent given by the system that had no sense of existence. Therefore, it was not sealed and rendered ineffective. Otherwise, Zhou Mingrui would probably cry to death on the spot.

Braving the hail of bullets, Zhou Mingrui continued sprinting forward. When he was less than twenty meters away, the monkey monsters immediately began to retreat.

However, Zhou Mingrui relied on his control over his energy. Every time he charged forward, his explosive force would increase. His energy form was able to cover a huge distance with ease.

Even if it was a change in form, he didn't have to worry about the so-called inertia, so he only used a few breaths to catch up with the group of monkeys.

The monkey monsters were about 1.9 meters tall, and their muscles were well-defined, like a gym boy.

When he saw Zhou Mingrui approaching, he knew that there was no way to escape his pursuit. He held a stone hammer and swung it at Zhou Mingrui.

Between the howling noises, Zhou Mingrui did not even attempt to dodge. The originally wide energy shield in his left hand had already shrunk to the size of a certain captain.

After blocking the monkey's attack with ease, he swung the energy blade in his right hand at the monkey.

The monkey raised its hand to block the attack, but the energy saber cut into its flesh. The monkey thought that it had blocked the attack, but the energy saber's blade started to vibrate rapidly.

With a cracking sound, the monkey's arm was cut off on the spot. If it had not dodged backward instinctively, half of its head would have been cut off.

Zhou Mingrui did not take another look at the monkey that had lost a large piece of flesh on its face and was bleeding profusely from its severed arm. He turned around and charged at another monkey.

This scene left the monkey monster stunned. But at that moment, a beam of starlight flashed past Zhou Mingrui.

The next moment, the starlight transformed into an energy spear and pierced through the head of the monkey monster, who had no time to react.

As the battle progressed, Zhou Mingrui's usage of energy became more and more smooth. He used all sorts of techniques in battle.

For example, the energy oscillation just now could increase the destructive power of the attack by a lot. It could even form a layer of continuous oscillation of a defensive layer on the surface of the body.

Ordinary rocks would be shattered the moment they came into contact with the defensive layer. They could not harm Zhou Mingrui at all.

For example, energy shaping could increase one's speed, strength, and other aspects.

In the beginning, Zhou Mingrui only used it on his feet and hands. However, as he gained a deeper understanding of energy control, he began to cover his muscles and bones with it.

Immediately, the amplification in all aspects began to become more powerful.

As he became more and more familiar with the battle, Zhou Mingrui even gave up the energy shock barrier on his body. Instead, he condensed two energy shields that constantly rotated around him, blocking all the attacks.

After all, compared to controlling the condensed energy forms, the operation of energy oscillation still required more spiritual energy.

As for Yan Wuyue, she could not help but be amazed by Zhou Mingrui's growth when she saw how well he could control his energy and how his combat techniques were becoming more and more mature.

She began to feel curious about the stone tablet's origin.

What kind of lifeform could place such information in a stone tablet that was probably condensed from energy forms and then pass it on to Zhou Mingrui without any difference?

Although her brain was constantly thinking, Yan Wuyue didn't neglect her work at all. Whether it was harvesting or controlling the field, there was no difference.

Her combat techniques and control over her energy and strength were things that even Zhou Mingrui could not compare to. This was not an inheritance of information, but a result of her training in a blood and fire environment.

This was a memory that was engraved in the depths of her soul!

Very quickly, almost three-fifths of the monkey monsters had been killed. They were so frightened that they started to run in all directions, not daring to fight the two of them.

"Eh, they should have a leader. Why don't I see him?" Yan Wuyue looked around in confusion, but she couldn't find the figure she wanted to confirm.

"You mean the Monkey King?"
