Chapter 48: Grinding Grinding Grinding
Unaware of what's happening inside the forums, Lu Fan's group finally arrived at their destination, all four of them unsummoned their mount.
Just after landing on the ground, left to right, they can see monsters of different levels and strength.

Any many more variants of monsters can be seen, the difference between this area from the first places is that this area has mixed monsters, unlike before, that there are groups of monsters which you can easily choose which monsters to kill or grind from.
"Ruthless, you and I will go and kill those monsters with big Health Points, Dartz, you will support the three of us."
Dartz and Ruthless nodded their head as they replied: "Yes Guild Leader."
And striking a pose with their hands.
Lu Fan then looked at DontDie as he requested: "Can you go and aim for those with low HP?"
DontDie was shocked, he'll be dealing with enemies on his own? isn't that like, sending yourself to your death?
Lu Fan seeing his reaction smiled then explained: "We can't really see any description of the monsters, hence, I`ve only deduced it into some categories.
First one is for when Monsters has high Health Points, too high for their current level, which I think should be a defensive type monster.
Second is average ones, if its HP seemed to be just a balance, it is a normal monster, maybe has a few skills, but definitely not anything special.
The third one is monsters with extremely low health points, it could mean a lot, but surely, one of them is extremely high damages, but as a counter, they have extremely low health, a great farming strategy for long ranged players, well just be sure to tell us if something is amiss."
DontDie finally understood everything as he smiled and replied: "I understand it now Guild Leader, I will definitely not let you down."
Lu Fan nodded as he walked towards one of the monsters near him, while DontDie is scouting for the spots to hunt down the monsters, checking to see any advantageous places where the monsters couldn't get near him before he could kill them.
Seeing Lu Fan's walking figure, the always serious Ruthless's eyes shimmered in an indescribable light.
"Ahhh... Really, God Eternal is too great to be understood by lowly people like us, God Eternal is almighty!"
Hearing this, Dartz's complexion turns pale as he looked at Ruthless in amazement.
"Right? God Eternal is just too great for us lowly mortals to behold!"
"Ah! Yes, yes, you are right! Let's go and do our jobs then." Dartz couldn't help but sigh, there is only a single thought in his mind right now.
'Never knew a serious person can be a real fanatic to someone... the difference when he's with Lu Fan and not is like heaven and earth.'
"Okay, let's go." Ruthless turns back to his normal serious self and immediately followed Lu Fan's direction.
Dartz scratches his head at Ruthless' change of expression, it barely took a single second before Ruthless changes from a fanatic into a serious man.
'This guy, seriously...' After scratching his head, Dartz followed as he sighs.
.
.
"Titanic SMASH!"
-31,240 HP!
Lu Fan kept killing his way around their area, while Ruthless provided support, aiding Lu Fan every time there are still monsters nearing him.
"Double Pierce!"
-1,820 HP!
-2,424 HP!
"Flying Swan!"
-3,988 HP!
Ruthless kept spamming his skills like there is no more tomorrow, exhausting his skills until everything is on cooldown before going, although his skill powers are not that strong, his speed makes up for it.
The two of them made a great combination, covering each other's back.
Seeing them, Dartz and DontDie couldn't help but also increase their phase.
"Brave Heart~!"
+3% HP Regeneration for 5 minutes.
.
"Wind Sylph's blessing!"
+3% Agility for 5 minutes.
.
"War God's might"
+3% Strength for 5 minutes.
.
"Iron Boar"
+1.5% defence for 5 minutes.
.
Continues tide of buffs immediately boosted the other three. although this buffs can be considered weak, but once it is used in a war, then all hell will break loose. after buffing them, Dartz kept tabs on the three of their HP's, but sadly, only Ruthless needed it.
Unlike Lu Fan who has been trained as a Martial Artist the same time as he learned how to run, Ruthless is just your average guy but has a great instinct when it comes to fighting, might be on par with Song Ming and Dongfang Xiao.
DontDie smirks, he thought that he could show some power, gaining Lu Fan's approval, but seeing the three of them, he can only shake his head.
"I need to catch up to them, they are leagues above me, I need to train myself to reach their levels."
After speaking, DontDie glared at the monsters.
"Normal shot!"
-1,524 HP!
"Normal shot!"
-1,624 HP!
"Normal shot!"
-2,920 HP!
DontDie snorted. "D*mn it, why do I have to shout 'Normal shot!' for a mana arrow to appear in my crossbow, this is too lame!"
"Normal shot!"
-1,490 HP!

...
After five hours of continues grinding, all of the monsters in the field stopped respawning.
Lu Fan looked left and right, scanning for something, like expecting anything to show up.
DontDie breathed a sigh of relief as he sat down and spoke.
"Ahhh, that's a great grinding, we've already gained a lot of experience, I`m level 40 with 71% experience points, this is great, it is extremely fast."
Hearing his words, Lu Fan, Ruthless, and Dartz looked at him and tilted their head.
"Wha..Wha.Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
Lu Fan chuckles as he nodded: "Yep, that's a great warm-up, let's go on for another few rounds then, another round of that will end our warming up!"
Hearing Lu Fan's words, DontDie's completion immediately paled.
'That's only a warm-up?! what the hell did I get myself into?!'
They already killed almost 5,000 monsters, but calling that a warm up...
DontDie looked at the three of them, completely fine, calm, and there is no sign of fatigue in their expression.
'I`m... Will I die grinding mobs?!'
After 30 minutes, the monsters finally respawned.
"Okay, time for rest is done, round two of our warm-up is about to start!" Lu Fan ordered as he stood up and wielded his Great Spear Ax.
"Okay!" Both Dartz and Ruthless stood up, preparing for the round two.
DontDie looked at them, his face seemed soulless.
"Guys... a little picnic? let's eat? guys? guys~?"
