Chapter 1486 - 1484: They Want to Kill
How could they have known that the demon beasts they killed in the afternoon were only the lowest-level ones? The beast before them already possessed the power of the Middle Stage of the Transcendent Realm, far beyond comparison to those earlier beasts! Seeing this beast, Lin Feng immediately warned, "Be careful!"
But just as Lin Feng’s words fell, the beast charged towards Xue Dakun and the others, targeting Xue Dakun. The sudden burst of speed startled Xue Dakun, and without hesitation, he dodged swiftly.
As soon as Xue Dakun dodged aside, a red fireball shot towards the beast. Unexpectedly, the fireball hit the beast, but it seemed unharmed, and suddenly fixed its gaze on the person who launched the fireball.
The person who fired the fireball was instantly petrified with fear, unable to dodge at such speed! At the critical moment, the individual capable of Hardening appeared, transforming his body into something akin to rock, and blocked the beast.
"Clang!"
With a crisp collision sound, the hardened individual flew out, hurling over twenty meters before crashing into a large tree to stop. At that moment, the attacks from the others arrived.
"Boom!"
"Quick, dodge."
"Its speed is too fast!"
...
In the blink of an eye, Xue Dakun and the others were fighting the beast. Initially indifferent, they soon realized the beast’s terrifying prowess, beyond their capability to deal with. While Xue Dakun’s speed enabled him to dodge, others couldn’t react swiftly enough. Their situation worsened, teetering on the brink of danger!
"Boss, intervene quickly, we really can’t hold out, this beast is too powerful!" At this moment, Xue Dakun urgently shouted to Lin Feng, ignoring everything else. Only he and Lin Feng, both known for their speed, could contend with this beast. The others couldn’t lend any help; if they were to save the lives of their comrades, neither he nor Lin Feng could be absent.
Initially reluctant, Lin Feng, seeing that Xue Dakun and the others were struggling, shook his head and stepped in. He realized, without his intervention, they might not make it out alive. Instantly, he dashed towards the panthera monster.
"Bang!"
Lin Feng’s speed was astonishingly fast. Even the speed-savvy panthera monster couldn’t react, getting struck on the nose by Lin Feng, retreating with a painful cry. This scene left Xue Dakun and the others stunned; Lin Feng’s speed was nearly invisible to them, prompting thoughts about how extraordinary Lin Feng’s speed was!
"What are you doing, still standing there? Quickly get out of the way!" Lin Feng called to Xue Dakun, whom he’d just rescued from the beast’s jaws, signaling for him to step aside from the fight.
Understanding Lin Feng’s meaning immediately, Xue Dakun retreated to a distance, watching alongside other brothers as Lin Feng battled the beast.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Roar..."
...
They saw Lin Feng in their sight, fighting the beast like a shadow. His combat skills were so advanced that the panthera monster had no chance to counter; it was like watching Lin Feng perform solo, with the beast going berserk in its attacks yet failing to land a single hit on Lin Feng!
My heavens!
Is this the Boss?
This is incredible, the Boss truly lives up to his name!
...
Xue Dakun and the others were stunned by the strength Lin Feng displayed. They never imagined that Lin Feng was so powerful; combining strength and speed would have such an impressive effect, leaving a formidable demon beast powerless to fight back. It was simply incredible! At this moment, they finally understood Lin Feng’s true strength, realizing that he was far superior to them, practically in a different league. Lin Feng was indeed Lin Feng, impossible for anyone else to achieve this!
What they didn’t know was that Lin Feng was deliberately hiding his strength by not using Gang Qi. If he had used it, the demon beast before them would have been defeated with a single move. Even without using Gang Qi, Lin Feng had reduced his speed and power to a less shocking level; otherwise, the others would have become suspicious of him.
The battle proceeded quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the panthera monster was covered in wounds from Lin Feng’s attacks. Realizing it was no match for Lin Feng, it attempted to flee, but before it could get far, Lin Feng caught up and struck the weak point at the back of its head. The ten-meter-long body collapsed with a thud, bright red beast blood gushing from its nostrils, leaving the body motionless and lifeless.
Just like before, a pale red mist emerged from the panthera monster, which was quickly absorbed by Xue Dakun and the others. However, this time, Lin Feng, to avoid arousing suspicion, also used a special technique to grab some beast souls. If he didn’t absorb any at all, people would certainly become suspicious. Still, no one noticed that the beast souls Lin Feng absorbed were not truly absorbed but were instead directly thrown into his space ring.
"Boss, you’re amazing!"
"Even this demon beast was killed!"
"Boss is mighty!"
...
Xue Dakun and the others shouted happily at Lin Feng, thrilled beyond measure. They never expected their boss to be such a powerful presence, capable of defeating even such a formidable demon beast. Following Lin Feng, they no longer feared other demon beasts.
"Let’s go, and be careful," Lin Feng said simply, waving his hand at the praises from Xue Dakun and the others before turning away. Understanding Lin Feng’s meaning, Xue Dakun and the others followed suit without further words, trailing behind Lin Feng as they ventured deeper into the forest...
Lin Feng led Xue Dakun and the others, busy killing demon beasts in the forest, and before they knew it, daylight broke. Just as Lin Feng was about to lead them to rest, suddenly a group of people emerged from the forest, rushing toward them upon seeing Lin Feng and his group.
Equally, Lin Feng, Xue Dakun, and the others grew curious about the newcomers, as they were clearly not part of their original group. They wanted to know who they were and why they approached them. However, sensing the strong scent of blood on these people, everyone instinctively became alert.
"Didn’t expect to run into another batch of rookies again. We’re really in luck," said Zheng Feng, medium-built and clothed in black casual wear stained with blood, sneering at Lin Feng and the others. They had been in the forest for three days already and had just taken out a batch of rookies yesterday. Now, encountering another batch meant they could potentially gain a lot of beast souls, allowing them to leave this place.
"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked casually, wanting to know who these people were. Could they, like Xue Dakun, be brought here by someone in black to improve their strength?
After speaking, Lin Feng immediately gestured behind his back to Xue Dakun and the others to be ready. The people before them clearly weren’t friendly, and he didn’t want them to harm Xue Dakun and others. Seeing Lin Feng’s gesture, Xue Dakun and the others immediately understood the situation, growing tense as they assessed the unfamiliar group.
"I called you rookies; what do you think I am? Of course, I’m someone here to go through this training just like you," Zheng Feng responded with a smug voice, feeling the question was utterly pointless.
To Zheng Feng, this was a rare opportunity. They had been fighting in the forest for days. In the beginning, they were ambushed by another group and learned that killing people could yield many beast souls. So, when they encountered a group of rookies yesterday, they attacked without hesitation. They obtained far more beast souls from the rookies than from demon beasts. Now, with new rookies in sight, there was no way they’d pass up the opportunity.
"There’s no escape, don’t struggle."
"Don’t worry, it won’t hurt much!"
...
The people around Zheng Feng also started mocking, having tasted sweet rewards yesterday. While they knew killing was wrong, who would know in this desolate forest? Even the people in black didn’t stop them, practically giving them the green light. To them, Lin Feng and his group were just piles of beast souls. They thought that as soon as they killed and absorbed these souls, their strength would significantly increase, allowing them to leave the forest.
In their eyes, Lin Feng and the others were like lambs ready for slaughter, much easier to deal with than formidable demon beasts...
"What do you... what do you want to do!" Xue Dakun panicked at their words, sensing hostility. Yet, he still didn’t understand their exact intentions.
Like Xue Dakun, the others scrutinized Zheng Feng and his group, sensing ill intent but still unsure of their plans. Clearly, these people entered the forest earlier, whereas they had been here for just half a day. What did they want?
"They’re here to kill us!" Lin Feng said calmly. He could sense the thick scent of blood and the presence of human aura. There was no doubt these people had previously killed others. Lin Feng had already deduced their motive; it was likely for the beast souls. Killing a person was far easier than a demon beast, making it a faster way to gain strength!
