Zhou Huai's consciousness was within Moria, and he no longer hesitated.

With a Shadow Leap, he silently returned to the giant stone gate with Qin Ming.

At this moment, the members of the Eternal Night Guild were gathered there.

The colossal stone gate, a hundred meters high, had been pulled open, leaving a gap just wide enough for one person to squeeze through sideways.

Beyond the gap was an unfathomable, ink-like darkness.

An indescribable, ancient, savage aura continuously seeped out from the gap, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold.

However, what made Zhou Huai's pupils constrict was this:

The moment he arrived, an anomaly suddenly occurred!

"Roar—!"

"Hiss hiss!"

Piercing, ear-splitting roars erupted from the deep darkness behind the door crack!

The next second, countless black shadows, like a bursting dam, frantically squeezed out from the narrow gap!

They were not large, about half a person's height, resembling lizards, but with four barbed, segmented limbs and bodies covered in black scales.

Their movements were as fast as lightning, and their crimson compound eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty light in the darkness.

These demons, imprisoned for an unknown number of years, wasted no time in launching their most ferocious attacks on the living beings before them the moment they regained their freedom!

"Enemy attack!"

Molly reacted extremely quickly, issuing a sharp warning immediately.

However, the number of these Strange Beast was simply too great, and their speed was astonishing.

Although the Eternal Night Guild members immediately formed a defensive Formation, they were still caught off guard.

"Pfft!"

A shield warrior at the front, having just raised his shield, was simultaneously pounced upon by three Strange Beast.

Sharp segmented claws scraped against his fine-quality shield with an ear-splitting friction sound, sparking a series of dazzling flames.

The shield warrior was knocked back repeatedly by the immense impact, his face instantly turning pale.

"These devils are so strong!"

"Be careful! Their Rank are all above Rank 40!"

"Damn it! There are too many! We can't stop them!"

The defensive line, under the fearless charge of the Strange Beast army, was on the verge of collapse.

In the blink of an eye, several members had their flesh torn open by the sharp claws and teeth, blood flowing freely.

The entire scene instantly descended into chaos.

Just at this critical moment.

"Aung—!!!"

A high-pitched, resonant Dragon's roar, full of supreme majesty, suddenly came from behind everyone!

The Little Black Dragon flapped its black Dragon wings, its massive figure obscuring the light above.

Dragon Might!

An invisible, terrifying pressure capable of crushing mountains swept across the entire area like a tsunami!

The Strange Beast that were frantically assaulting the defensive line suddenly paused.

For the first time, their crimson compound eyes revealed a fear that originated from the depths of their Bloodline.

Most of the Strange Beast's bodies even involuntarily prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.

The chaotic situation was finally stabilized.

"Now! Mage Squad! Focus fire!"

Molly seized this rare opportunity and decisively gave the order.

Immediately, colorful elemental lights lit up behind the crowd.

Fireballs, ice cones, wind blades, like a downpour, rained down upon the Strange Beast, who were stunned by the Dragon Might!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another, and flesh and blood flew.

Zhou Huai, controlling Moria, silently joined the battle.

He looked at the stone gate, which was still continuously spewing out Strange Beast, and felt the endless beast roars like a tsunami from behind the door, his brow slightly furrowed.

The number of Strange Beast behind this door probably exceeded his imagination.

This was practically a small beast tide.

However, the good news was that these Strange Beast seemed to be unable to push open the stone gate from the inside, only able to squeeze out through the narrow gap.

This gave the Eternal Night Guild a huge amount of operational space.

Zhou Huai's heart stirred, and a bold plan had already formed.

He immediately gave an order to Molly, who was not far away.

"Control the rhythm, don't be reckless."

"Treat them as whetstones, lure them out in waves and kill them."

Upon hearing this, Molly immediately understood her lord's intention and nodded heavily.

Just like that, a high-intensity tug-of-war began.

Time flew by in the baptism of blood and fire.

Two days later.

In front of the stone gate, the ground was already covered with the corpses of Strange Beast, and black blood stained the ground into a muddy mess.

The air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.

The members of the Eternal Night Guild were all slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

Their faces were all etched with undisguised exhaustion.

For two days and two nights, they had «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» barely closed their eyes.

Their nerves were constantly taut, and their mental and physical strength were on the verge of their limits.

Zhou Huai saw this scene and knew he couldn't let it continue.

With a thought, he shifted his consciousness to Zhuge Kongming.

Four hours later.

An invisible energy barrier suddenly formed, centered on the stone gate.

This was a complex Formation combining a trapping Formation and a defensive Formation.

With this Formation, the Strange Beast rushing out of the stone gate would immediately fall into the trapping Formation, unable to escape.

They could only passively gather together, becoming the perfect living targets for the Eternal Night Guild members.

And the Eternal Night Guild members could comfortably stay behind the defensive Formation, unleashing their firepower on the dense Strange Beast groups.

The risk was minimized.

Efficiency was maximized.

This place would become the Eternal Night Guild's perfect leveling Holy Land.

"All members, rest in place for two hours!"

"After two hours, start grinding monsters!"

With Zhou Huai's command, everyone erupted in a cheer like survivors of a disaster.

Moria, Yasuo, and Xiang Yu naturally wouldn't miss this rare opportunity to Level Up.

They didn't even need to stay behind the defensive Formation.

The three of them, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, directly charged into the area covered by the trapping Formation, unleashing a bloody slaughter among the dense Strange Beasts.

Not long after.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a dull roar.

A golden light shot up from Xiang Yu's body.

He Level Up.

Rank 30.

At the same time, a cold System prompt sounded in Zhou Huai's mind.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, Clone 'Extinction Bulwark · Xiang Yu's Rank has reached LV30, activating the second Job Change challenge quest!

Job Change Challenge: Indestructible Body

Mission Objective: Within one month, accumulate 100,000,000 damage taken.

Mission Reward: S-Rank exclusive second Job Change profession scroll X1.

Zhou Huai's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw this mission.

One, two, three...eight zeros.

A full 100 million damage.

Good heavens.

Was this mission too cruel for Xiang Yu?

It was simply unbearable to look at.

From now on, he would be the only one among everyone who could only take a beating in a pile of monsters.

Just like that.

Time quietly passed in the daily monotonous monster grinding.

Another half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In this half month, all members of the Eternal Night Guild had seen their Rank improve by leaps and bounds.

The guild's average Rank had risen from the initial Rank 17-18 to Rank 24.

Moria and Yasuo's Rank had both broken through, reaching Rank 32.

As for Xiang Yu, who had been constantly getting beaten, his Rank had also successfully increased to Rank 31.

His damage target of 100 million had been completed by nearly half.

However, what puzzled Zhou Huai was that the endless Strange Beast behind the stone gate still showed no signs of decreasing.

And as the stone gate opened a little wider.

More Strange Beast swarmed out from the wider gap.

This place seemed to be an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Zhou Huai looked at the dense beast horde and couldn't help but start to miss Gandalf, who was far away in the Imperial Capital.

If Gandalf were here, wouldn't the experience points in front of him be within reach with one Meteor Fire Rain?

Speaking of Gandalf, he was still the highest-Rank existence among all the Clones.

In the Imperial Capital Academy, where Geniuses gathered.

With his terrifying strength as an SS-Rank Forbidden Spell Mage, he had long become a well-known figure in the academy.

His Rank had also soared all the way to Rank 34.

Just as Zhou Huai's thoughts were racing.

A System prompt sounded without warning.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, Clone 'Divine Craftsman · Ouyezi's Rank has reached LV20, comprehending a new skill!

Zhou Huai's spirit was lifted.

Ouyezi had finally reached Rank 20!

He immediately switched his consciousness to Ouyezi.

At this moment, Ouyezi was in the top forging room of the Forging Guild.

He closed his eyes, feeling the torrent of information that had appeared in his mind.
