Chapter 426: Off-the-Charts Combat Power
Cooperation, we must cooperate with Ivica and her team.
Right now, his team only has 91 people, far too few, and significantly lacking in strength.
Only by uniting with Ivica’s team will they have sufficient security.
Jerry felt that his team had gone too deep inside, it was too dangerous here, and they had to retreat.
The Fierce Beasts ran swiftly, quickly passing through the area where Jerry and his team were.
Then, Jerry immediately led his people to retreat.
Around three o’clock, the lightning in the trees cried out again, warning Xu Yi of approaching dangers.
"Xu Yi, we’ve brought back over twenty level 2 Fierce Beasts," Lu Ke shouted as she approached the camp.
After all, with so many Fierce Beasts, it was up to Xu Yi to handle them.
Xu Yi immediately rushed out of the tent, and three arrows appeared in front of him.
Subsequently, Xu Yi leapt onto Lu Ke’s husky, turned his head, and charged forward.
Qin Fan and the others also rushed over and turned to watch the raging Fierce Beasts charging at them.
Xu Yi’s three arrows were launched, each attacking a different Fierce Beast.
Everyone else controlled their arrows and followed suit.
The arrows pierced the heads of those Fierce Beasts, and in an instant, 14 Fierce Beasts fell.
The rest, terrified, turned their heads and fled.
But Xu Yi’s arrows didn’t stop; they continued attacking those Fierce Beasts.
Qin Fan and the others continued their assault, but aside from Lu Ke and Qin Fan, the arrows of the others couldn’t penetrate the Fierce Beasts’ defenses.
"Damn, Xu Yi’s combat power is crazy, he single-handedly defeated 9 Fierce Beasts!"
"Even Yondu isn’t this fierce!"
"So cool, this way of fighting is just too awesome."
"Xu Yi’s combat power is off the charts, twelve now, and it looked so easy! I now believe that the Spirit Race can easily slaughter hundreds or thousands; it’s just too strong."
"Crushed other squads; they didn’t dare touch these 27 Fierce Beasts, but Xu Yi alone took down half."
"Hypothetically speaking, if Xu Yi and his team attack another team, could they wipe them out?"
"For sure, they have the power, but Xu Yi and his team aren’t maniacs, why would they attack their own kind?"
"I think if Jerry were as strong as Xu Yi, he would certainly attack others."
"You know that’s Jerry we’re talking about, could Xu Yi be that kind of person?"
After killing all the Fierce Beasts, Xu Yi’s arrows returned to his hand.
Xu Yi took out a bottle of water to clean the arrows, shook them dry, and then put the arrows away.
Not only were the viewers in the live stream shocked by Xu Yi’s combat power, Qin Fan and the others were too.
They all stared with wide eyes at the dead Fierce Beasts on the ground and then at the calm and composed Xu Yi.
Even their mounts were scared, lowering their heads.
"Xu Yi, how did you become so powerful, killing 15 just like that?" Lu Ke asked excitedly, wanting to be as strong as Xu Yi.
But Lu Ke knew she could kill two, but killing a third would be difficult.
"This is my limit for now, I can only kill so many level 2 Fierce Beasts," Xu Yi said, spreading his hands, but by tomorrow, it would be different.
Every day, Xu Yi’s strength grows a bit more.
"This is the difference between a Divine Master and a Mage, huh? I can only kill two," Qin Fan said, looking at Xu Yi with envy, longing for power like Xu Yi’s.
With such strength, their 500-day challenge would be a breeze.
"That’s why Divine Masters are so rare. I wonder how many Divine Masters could awaken among billions of humans." Lu Yao said, looking at Xu Yi, somewhat lost in thought.
Divine Masters, they relate to the relationship between humans and the Spirit Race.
The saying, ’The backward are beaten,’ holds true universally.
"Only when large numbers of humans arrive at Spirit Blue Star would we know, hopefully, there’d be more," Qin Fan said, though he felt that his hope might just be a hope.
He suspected that those chosen by the Spirit Race for the challenge were likely those with a chance to awaken.
At least from Xu Yi’s description of meeting the Spirit Race, they hoped for humans to awaken their Spiritual Power. Naturally, they would choose people likely to awaken to participate.
Right now, it’s a one in a thousand chance, but across all humanity, perhaps one in a million, ten million, or even a hundred million.
If it is indeed one in a hundred million, that’d be quite tragic. Combining the world, only 70 people.
However, Qin Fan thought that the descendants of these 70 people would have a very high chance of awakening.
Through reproduction, the numbers could continuously increase.
"Alright, let’s deal with the Fierce Beasts’ bodies now, we’ve got work to do today, need to smoke a lot of meat," Xu Yi said, then went to move the Fierce Beasts’ bodies.
Fierce Beasts, each providing 100 pounds of clean meat and dozens of pounds of fat.
That’s close to 3,000 pounds of meat, after smoking, there should be at least 2,000 left, right?
Such a reserve of meat is quite reassuring.
So, they began dragging these 27 Fierce Beasts back to the camp.
Processing 27 Fierce Beasts takes time.
"Qin Fan, come with me to get some water," Xu Yi said, going back to the tent to transfer items from the Star Chart Space to his System Space.
This way, he could use this Star Chart to carry some water back.
Handling so many Fierce Beasts naturally required a lot of water.
Qin Fan also emptied his Star Chart, placing everything inside the Star Chart.
Just five kilometers from here, there’s a water source.
So Xu Yi and Qin Fan went to get water, while others in the camp handled the Fierce Beasts, skinning them and setting them up on tripods.
Their skins still needed some reserves.
They each had only one set of clothes, while they wouldn’t get dirty, they’d still suffer wear. After all, they couldn’t avoid all of the Fierce Beasts’ attacks, clothes still got torn.
Riding on Fierce Beasts, Xu Yi and Qin Fan quickly went there and back in just a few minutes.
When they returned, they joined in, cutting up the Fierce Beasts’ meat.
Fierce Beasts, Xu Yi stored 17 Fierce Beasts’ worth of meat.
At this point, they realized how big Xu Yi’s ’Star Chart’ truly was.
The remaining ten Fierce Beasts’ meat, naturally, could only be smoked; only this way could they be kept outside the Star Chart for preservation.
With daily highs near 40 degrees, and nights plunging below freezing, only turning them into jerky would prolong their shelf life.
The meat in the Star Chart remained fresh, meant for their own consumption, while the jerky was for the Fierce Beasts.
After dinner, all the meat was hung around the fire to be smoked.
Except for those on night watch, everyone else went to train.
With seven night watch mounts together, the camp’s safety was quite high.
Even if a large number of Fierce Beasts approached, they could hold them off for a while.
