Consistent with the information obtained before entering here, Wang Zhifan discovered that these green twisted monsters he was slashing indeed seemed a bit weak. They weren't very large, moved slowly, and their defense wasn't high. The only troublesome thing was their tenacity; even when chopped in half, they wouldn't die immediately, requiring to be further hacked into more than a dozen pieces before fully losing vitality.

"My task is to protect Chu Wei and Ah Liao's safety, so I just need to take care of these few. Don't worry about the others."

After Wang Zhifan quickly dispatched several small monsters that came near him, he did not rush towards the others that were a bit farther away because he was very clear about his responsibilities. If it wasn't his job, he wasn't going to act; he'd leave it to his teammates.

Bang! Bang bang bang bang~

Sure enough, as Wang Zhifan had already begun to sheath his knife and stand guard, the gunner Ah Liao, who had just entered this Gray Realm a few meters behind him, started to act. He skillfully aimed and pulled the trigger, piercing a not-too-distant green twisted monster with rifle bullets. However, seeing the creature he shot still moving slowly towards him, he switched from single shots to bursts, using multiple bullets to thoroughly destroy the opponent.

"Ah Liao, using guns on these creatures is too wasteful. You should hold off and save them for the stronger monsters, let me handle these."

Ah Liao had just dispatched one creature when Chu Wei, standing beside him, spoke up, making the boy in sunglasses show a slightly resigned expression.

"Weiwei, is it really necessary to save that much? I have more than ten boxes of bullets on me."

The young man stopped shooting and turned to look at Chu Wei standing next to him.

"It's necessary, Ah Liao. As the Gray Realm outbreaks become more frequent, the supply of bullets will surely become tight quickly. If you don't conserve them now, applying for more later wouldn't be so easy."

Chu Wei explained to Ah Liao while remotely controlling her ghostly summon, initiating a monster massacre on the grassland.

The efficiency of her summoned creature was exceptionally high. Although it seemed the ghost had no area-of-effect attack capabilities, its speed was so fast it became a blur, possibly even having a blink-like teleport skill. Its ten sharp, slender nails were overwhelmingly powerful against these small creatures, with attack speed surpassing even Wang Zhifan's full-force slashes. As long as it swept past a green twisted monster, the creature would be shredded into pieces, difficult to observe the attack process.

"Chu Wei's ghost summon definitely got stronger."

Standing guard four to five meters ahead of Chu Wei and Ah Liao, Wang Zhifan compared with his previous cooperation with Chu Wei and judged that her summon had significantly improved strength, likely due to the silver bracelet now on her right wrist.

"Weiwei, is the situation that urgent? Bullets shouldn't be that hard to come by..."

Since Chu Wei was making a move, Ah Liao found no suitable target to shoot, so he continued to ask her.

"If you don't believe me, just watch. Anyway, I still advise you to save your bullets."

Chu Wei responded to Ah Liao while stepping towards the jungle ahead. Noticing this, Wang Zhifan started moving forward, alert to any suspicious activity around.

Suddenly, a few multi-legged creatures several meters long crawled out of the jungle ahead, prompting Wang Zhifan to loudly alert the two behind him.

"There are creepy crawlies coming out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots rang out, and he saw those creatures crawling out from the jungle breaking into pieces, evidently shot by Ah Liao from behind.

This demonstrated that Ah Liao's marksmanship as a gunner was fully competent, hitting with accuracy even from a distance.

Soon after, Wang Zhifan heard the sounds of fierce battle and the cries of some monsters from the jungle ahead, estimated to be Chu Wei's ghost summon wreaking havoc inside.

Sure enough, Chu Wei's voice soon came from behind:

"Fan, Ah Liao, I found a lot of monsters in the jungle ahead. For safety's sake, we shouldn't go in. Let me have my summon do the clearing. However, some monsters will definitely escape the jungle later, so those will be left to you."

"No problem."

Without looking back, Wang Zhifan responded to Chu Wei. In this environment, he needed to maintain full concentration, alert to any movement ahead.

As for Chu Wei's current decision, he mostly agreed, finding her style relatively steady.

But without new monsters to fight, Ah Liao had some personal thoughts, and his voice came from behind:

"Weiwei, wouldn't it be easier if we just set this jungle on fire?"

"No way, the evaluators tried it when they came in, and their reports say even a Molotov cocktail didn't ignite it."

Chu Wei immediately replied to Ah Liao, indicating he wasn't the only one with this idea.

"Ah Wei, what exactly are these evaluators you talk about?"

Wang Zhifan's focus was different at this moment. He had heard Chu Wei mention evaluators more than once but never knew what they really were.

"They're the Bureau investigators responsible for exploring the situation inside new Gray Realms."

Seeing Wang Zhifan ahead asking, Chu Wei explained to him while remotely controlling her summon within the jungle, slaughtering monsters from a distance of hundreds of meters away.

"They're said to be Assassin-type professional players specially trained by the Bureau. They're usually the first group entering newly reported Gray Realms to explore and rate the dangers, preventing ordinary players like us from inadvertently entering high-level Gray Realms, which would be extremely dangerous."

"Assassin class... the kind that can turn invisible?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhifan immediately recalled seeing such players in dungeons, although only once.

"Yes, Assassin class players are the most suitable for exploration among all professions. Fan, Ah Liao, pay attention! About thirty monsters are heading our way from the jungle! Prepare for battle!"

Just after replying to Wang Zhifan, Chu Wei raised her voice to inform the two that the first test was arriving, and idle chatting was over.

"No problem, I'll hold them off, Ah Liao. It's time to show off your shooting skills."

With a calm mind, Wang Zhifan wasn't worried. From what he'd seen of the monsters in this Gray Realm, their strength was pitifully low, and even thirty of them charging posed little pressure.
