Chapter 785: Slaughter Instinct

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei lightly flicked the fingers on his right hand, and a stream of elemental energy flashed by.

Feeling the power of elemental energy, Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. The suppression still existed, and the empowerment of the Black Divine Barrier did not manifest in attack power.

However, soon Chen Fei’s brows relaxed.

The strength of those monsters, fundamentally, was not much stronger than the Mountain Sea Realm or the Monster Kings. The empowerment mostly showed in their growth rate and concealment.

The Black Divine Barrier had its own set of rules. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Just like how the Black Divine, in order to harness the power of faith, invaded the Boundless Sea, he had to lower his cultivation realm to the Fifth-Tier.

And the Boundless Sea did not relax its restrictions on monsters and humans, preventing them from breaking through to the Sixth-Tier.

Now, simulating the rules of the Boundless Sea, the Black Divine had to be impartial to some extent, at most giving some preferential treatment to monsters in certain details.

“If the field of view can continue to expand, it can also be considered a great bonus!”

A slight smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face. After all, compared to other Mountain Sea Realms, Chen Fei could not only absorb insights but also see farther. What else could he be dissatisfied with?

It could only be said that the True Spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword was powerful enough, and the Black Divine, unable to maintain the power of the Fourth-Tier, simply couldn’t crush the True Spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword.

Chen Fei closed his eyes again, beginning to cultivate his innate talent without ceasing.

Although every night now brought abundant insights to absorb, Chen Fei had maintained his own cultivation habits for decades.

Furthermore, even after leaving the Black Divine Barrier, Chen Fei would still need to practice his martial arts proficiency on his own. It was impossible for him to constantly watch over the Black Divine Barrier.

The Black Divine Barrier underwent changes every day. Although it seemed to have formed a standoff with humans and monsters now, Chen Fei always had a feeling that this standoff wouldn’t last too long.

As the night receded and tranquility returned, light penetrated the barrier, making the entire structure much brighter.

“Yesterday, there was a wave of monsters in the Stone Forest Canyon. Today, we’ll head to the Green Acorn Lake,” Zhao Ruizheng said, looking up at Chen Fei and the others, his voice low.

“Green Acorn Lake has gentle terrain, but there are many monsters. If we engage in battle, we may have to face attacks from multiple monsters at once.”

Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang nodded without objection, but Chen Fei seemed to have something to say.

“Do you have something to say, Brother Chen?” Zhao Ruizheng looked at Chen Fei.

After yesterday’s events, Zhao Ruizheng had grown increasingly appreciative of Chen Fei.

Not to mention his astonishing archery skills, just being able to detect the traces of monsters ahead of him, ahead of anyone else, was incredibly important within the Black Divine Barrier.

Cultivation realm was indispensable within the Black Divine Barrier; after all, it was the foundation. Whether one could kill monsters ultimately depended on whether their own strength was sufficient.

However, being powerful didn’t mean one could live long within the Black Divine Barrier.

There were simply too many monsters inside the barrier. If one were carelessly besieged by monsters, no matter how strong their cultivation, they might end up being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of monsters.

Looking at those strong individuals in the Sun Moon Realm who refused to enter the Black Divine Barrier, their difficulty in breaking through to their original realm after dispersing their cultivation was one reason. Another reason was the possibility of being besieged by numerous monsters within the barrier.

Yesterday in the Stone Forest Canyon, if it weren’t for Chen Fei’s warning, their outcome might not have been much better than Xiao Qiping and the others’, or even worse.

“I think we can go back to the Stone Forest Canyon today.”

Chen Fei said after some thought. “Yesterday, the monsters surged out of the canyon. There must still be some monsters lingering near the depths of the canyon today. At this time, we can slowly kill those monsters.”

“But if there are too many lingering monsters, we might be surrounded,” Zhao Tianyue said worriedly.

Zhao Ruizheng nodded in agreement, echoing Zhao Tianyue’s words. This was also why he had suggested going to Green Acorn Lake.

“I have an eye technique that allows me to observe the subtle details of those monsters. It was with this technique that I noticed something unusual in the Stone Forest Canyon yesterday.”

Chen Fei said, lightly tapping his forehead with his right hand, and a map from the city wall to the interior of the Stone Forest Canyon appeared.

Zhao Ruizheng and the others looked curiously at the map before them. The terrain depicted was the path they had traveled yesterday, but that wasn’t particularly surprising; any Mountain Sea Realm expert could do the same.

“I can slightly sense the ripples of black mist stirred by the monsters’ movements, so I suggest we continue through the Stone Forest Canyon today,” Chen Fei said softly.

Yesterday, Chen Fei could already detect the movements of monsters at critical moments. With an extended field of vision today, Chen Fei would only perform better than yesterday.

Zhao Ruizheng looked at the map, then glanced at Chen Fei, pondering for a moment before finally nodding.

To reach the Stone Forest Canyon, there was still a journey of about forty to fifty miles. If there were any unexpected situations along the way, they could still return in time. It wasn’t a particularly risky move.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Fei and his companions had already traveled more than ten miles away from the city wall.

With a faint glow at his brow, Chen Fei suddenly paused, his footsteps halting slightly. Before Zhao Ruizheng and the others could react, Chen Fei had already drawn his bow and shot an arrow like a shooting star.

“Boom!”

It wasn’t until this moment that the sound of the bowstring vibrating through the air rang out. In a place unseen by Zhao Ruizheng and the others, a monster seemed to sense something. Just as it raised its head, its entire skull was blown apart.

The headless monster’s limbs thrashed wildly on the ground. Before it could rise up again, three more arrows flew in and struck its body.

Unable to dodge in time earlier, and now without a head, the monster naturally couldn’t avoid the arrows. It was torn apart by the three arrows, splitting into pieces.

A spiritual light emerged from the monster’s body and flew towards Chen Fei and his companions.

Zhao Ruizheng and the others saw Chen Fei rapidly firing multiple arrows, realizing he had detected the monster. Then, they saw a spiritual light flying towards them, entering their appraisal jade ruler.

This time, Zhao Ruizheng didn’t even need to activate his blood essence, so the contribution points he received were no different from Tang Shouchang’s. The majority of the spoils went straight into Chen Fei’s hands.

“You’re… just too amazing!”

Despite witnessing it yesterday, Zhao Tianyue couldn’t help but exclaim, even entertaining thoughts of learning archery herself.

However, Zhao Tianyue also understood that reaching Chen Fei’s level required hundreds of years of arduous cultivation.

It was already too late for her to start practicing archery now.

“It’s just a bit special here, that’s all,” Chen Fei replied with a smile.

“Brother Chen is too modest.”

Seeing Chen Fei perform just as well as yesterday, Zhao Ruizheng felt slightly relieved. Yesterday’s wave of monsters still left him somewhat shaken.

The four continued forward, covering about five to six miles this time. Once again, Chen Fei stopped, rapidly firing arrows from his hand, followed by another spiritual light flying towards them.

Chen Fei glanced at the Jade Ruler in his sleeve. The contribution points had now reached over six.

Zhao Ruizheng and the others smiled faintly. Although they didn’t earn much contribution points from two monsters, they hadn’t done anything, yet they still had points to claim. What could be unsatisfactory about that?

If possible, they hoped this situation would continue indefinitely. Don’t stop!

As Chen Fei and his companions gradually approached the Stone Forest Canyon, when they were just a few miles away from the entrance, Chen Fei stopped.

Zhao Ruizheng and the others thought Chen Fei would continue attacking, but they found that he only drew his bow without shooting any arrows.

“Is there something ahead?” Zhao Ruizheng asked, simultaneously holding the Broken Moon Sword horizontally in front of him.

Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang immediately went on guard, wary of any sudden appearance of monsters.

“There are six monsters, two of which are at the mid-stage of the Fourth- Tier,” Chen Fei whispered.

In his field of vision, the six monsters were not clustered together but were not far apart either.

If Chen Fei were to attack one, the other five would definitely sense it, and then they would swarm towards them like bees.

If there were only one mid-stage Fourth-Tier monster, Chen Fei wouldn’t hesitate much. After all, Zhao Ruizheng, with his six Divine Palaces, was already at the peak of the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm. Holding off one mid-stage Fourth-Tier monster would be more than enough.

But with two mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters, if Zhao Ruizheng couldn’t completely hold them off, it would be a disaster for Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang.

“Two mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters!”

Zhao Ruizheng’s brow furrowed as well. Just as Chen Fei feared, Zhao Ruizheng was also worried that he couldn’t hold off two mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters simultaneously.

“Use the secret technique. I can hold off two mid-stage Fourth-Tier monsters for one quarter of an hour. After you’ve killed the other monsters, try to hold off one mid-stage Fourth-Tier monster, and then I’ll kill them one by one!” Zhao Ruizheng said in a deep voice.

This meant that Chen Fei and his companions had to first kill four early-stage Fourth-Tier monsters within a short period of time, and then collectively attack one mid-stage Fourth-Tier monster.

If it were in the Boundless Sea, facing beasts or creatures of deceit, this plan might not necessarily succeed.

However, if the opponents were only instinct-driven monsters, it might be achievable.

Zhao Ruizheng looked at Chen Fei. If Chen Fei nodded, Zhao Ruizheng would decide to give it a try. After all, before the monsters rushed over, Chen Fei’s arrows might be able to kill one, or even two, in advance.

Chen Fei was about to nod when suddenly his expression froze slightly. He turned his head to look behind them, where a figure was skulking in the distance.

Chen Fei narrowed his eyes. This person seemed to have a special sense, almost on par with Chen Fei’s enhanced vision.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Ruizheng asked quietly when he saw Chen Fei turn around.

“One of the people who were chased by monsters yesterday is now behind us,” Chen Fei said in a low voice.

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Zhao Ruizheng squinted his eyes.

Yesterday, Xiao Qiping had come to thank them, and Zhao Ruizheng was unsure of his intentions. Now, someone was following them, and the situation had completely changed.

Of course, there was also the possibility that the person was coincidentally heading to the Stone Forest Canyon too, sending someone to scout ahead. After all, they had just come out of the depths of the Stone Forest Canyon yesterday.

Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang’s expressions also changed slightly, their eyes glinting coldly.

“Let’s not kill the monsters for now. Let’s move in a different direction,” Zhao Ruizheng whispered.

Chen Fei nodded and led Zhao Ruizheng and the others to move sideways, deviating from the route to the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon.
