Deep in the branch on the other side of the Yunwu Mountains, on the top of the mountain.
The wind was howling and gusting fiercely on the edge of a thousand-foot cliff. An Fuqing, wearing ordinary armor, sat cross-legged with eyes as clear as jade, looking quietly ahead.
The space outside the cliff in front of her was distorted like a piece of transparent paper. From time to time, a dark crack appeared, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye as the space self-repaired.
These black cracks are only a few centimeters long and more than one meter long. Everything they pass through is cut, including the air!
Watching the constant appearance, disappearance and collapse of spatial cracks, An Fuqing gradually began to see the reflection of the fragmentation and disappearance of space.
When Chen Chu broke through the fourth level, Liu Feixu and Pang Long mentioned that An Fuqing comprehended the sword intent during the trial in Koroya.
In the eyes of the school's top management, her comprehension was even more exaggerated than her astonishingly fast talent for cultivation.
Even Chen Chu, who was in the third heaven at that time, had cultivated the low-level Dragon Elephant Art into the True Martial Spirit and reached the theoretical limit of the realm as described by the creator of the art.
They are all inferior to her in terms of talent and potential evaluation.
It was not until Chen Chu, with his average talent, became the first to break through to the fourth level that his talent potential evaluation in the school was equal to hers, just equal.
This is the terrifying thing about the "gift" of insight.
At this time, as he watched the birth and disappearance of space cracks, a terrifying sword aura gradually spread from An Fuqing's body, and his long hair moved without wind.
Within a ten-foot radius around her, tiny cracks appeared out of nowhere on the hard rock, the weeds shattered silently, and even the air was filled with popping sounds.
Once the strong wind from the mountain stream came within a few meters of An Fuqing, it would suddenly disappear.
No, it did not disappear, but was torn apart and chopped off by the invisible and sharp sword intent, just like the space cracks that kept appearing and disappearing, terrifying.
Sword intent is also a kind of willpower, but it is stronger than ordinary willpower and has unparalleled attack power. The initial comprehension can be integrated into the sword energy to increase the power several times.
No matter whether one is practicing swordsmanship or knife skills, once one comprehends the sword and knife meaning, their combat power will be greatly improved.
Under normal circumstances, if a practitioner wants to comprehend the sword intent, the prerequisite is to practice advanced combat skills to the great success level, and then sublimate in an instant with the ultimate belief and martial arts realm.
You can imagine how difficult it is.
And there are many monstrous people like An Fuqing who have comprehended the sword intent at the third level.
Of course, the so-called difficulties only apply to ordinary people. Geniuses are always exceptions. Otherwise, if everyone is mediocre, there would be no such thing as genius.
At this time, An Fuqing had been sitting here in meditation for a few days. After his original understanding of the illusion sword intent, he gained another understanding after observing the spatial cracks.
Suddenly, An Fuqing put the two fingers of his right hand together, and a one-meter-long white sword energy condensed at his fingertips, with sword intent flowing on it, and he waved his hand casually.
puff!
Wherever the sword energy passed, a dark mark appeared in the air, which lingered for a long time under the residual sharp sword intent.
"wrong."
Seeing that there was only traces of pitch-black vacuum in front of him, An Fuqing frowned slightly and dispersed the sharp sword energy in his hand.
The girl continued to look forward, her clear and bright eyes reflecting the black cracks that kept appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye, and she fell silent again.
In her, the sharp will to cut off everything became more and more obvious and powerful.
Just as An Fuqing fell into a state of enlightenment, the true energy in her body automatically circulated, absorbing and exhaling the energy of heaven and earth at an astonishing speed, and her aura became stronger and stronger.
…
Roar, roar, roar!!
In the forest, more than a dozen huge mutant beasts surrounded Chen Chu from a distance, roaring violently, trying to intimidate him and snatch his "food".
These mutant beasts are shaped like rhinos, covered with green scales, have a thick and sharp horn on their heads, claws on their four hooves, and densely packed fangs in their mouths.
Most of them are between five or six meters in size, three are about eight meters long, and the largest one is more than eighteen meters long without the tail, and is level four.
At this time, these mutant beasts were looking at the corpse of the hairy ape greedily.
As a level five peak mutant beast, the bloody smell emitted from the corpse of the hairy ape is a bit crazy for them. Eating the flesh and blood of this mutant beast can accelerate their body evolution.
This is also the reason why every time Chen Chu and his team dragged the mutant beast corpses back, even ordinary mutant beasts could not help but attack.
Even though he exuded a terrifying aura of pressure, including the tragic death of the high-level mutant beasts behind him, he was unable to suppress the aggressiveness of these mutant creatures.
Because the desire to become stronger is the instinct of the beast.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that human practitioners are somewhat confused.
In the fixed thinking of mutant creatures, the larger the body size, the stronger the strength, and the more terrifying the aura and power it exudes.
In the eyes of many mutant beasts, humans are such tiny creatures that they are not even enough to eat a bite, and the energy fluctuations emitted by their true power are not as violent and overbearing as those of mutant beasts.
Therefore, those mutant animals with low intelligence will have the illusion that they can be eaten.
However, there is a way to solve this situation. The Logistics Department has an item called limestone tree powder. 1 contribution point can be exchanged for a large bottle.
This limestone tree powder is made by grinding the bark of the tree. It emits a strong smell that neutralizes the bloody smell of mutant beasts and interferes with the sense of smell of other mutant beasts.
Under normal circumstances, practitioners who come back from hunting will pick up some, which can avoid a lot of trouble.
Including Xia Youhui and his friends, they had used it before, but only after they followed Chen Chu last time, did they allow the smell of mutant beasts' blood to spread in a big way.
Chen Chu also knew about this thing. He had a bottle of it stored in the storage space, but it had never been used.
Because what he wants is to attract these mutant beasts to come to him on their own initiative.
As his body became more and more terrifying, not only did Chen Chu become stronger and stronger and his physical fitness improved, his agility, which had always been overlooked, also became more and more terrifying.
With more than 900 points of agility, his normal movement speed reaches a subsonic speed of 300 per second, which is several times faster than that of practitioners of the same level.
They are almost as good as those fifth-level practitioners who specialize in agility and speed techniques.
Not to mention that once he activates his true power, his muscle strength will explode and he can instantly move at supersonic speeds, and he can maintain this burst for a long time.
This speed is already comparable to that of a sixth-level cultivator who specializes in agility and body movements, and because of his strong physique, he can last longer than them.
After all, once those practitioners run out of true energy and are unable to practice their skills, their speed will plummet.
And this is Chen Chu’s greatest confidence.
What to do if you encounter those powerful mutant creatures that you can't defeat? Of course, run. Supersonic speed can cover 20 kilometers in one minute, running very fast.
boom!
Just as those mutant beasts were slowly approaching and trying to surround Chen Chu, accompanied by an explosion of mud, a black and red light burst out in an instant.
Boom boom boom!!
Under the Eight Desolations Battle Halberd weighing two tons and swung at supersonic speed, three level two mutant unicorns exploded instantly, and Chen Chu was like a streak of silk piercing through the blood rain.
BANG BANG BANG!!
Moving at supersonic speed, the second and third level mutant unicorns didn't even have time to react before their bodies exploded and shattered under the black and red true power.
roar!
The late level four unicorn roared in fear and anger, and a gray light flowed on its body, which was five meters tall at the shoulders. Suddenly, the surrounding soil surged like a living thing.
In the blink of an eye, a mutant beast with a shoulder height of seven meters and covered in thick rock armor appeared, exuding a heavy, solid and powerful aura.
At this time, Chen Chu had turned into a black and red streak and appeared in front of the last mutant unicorn, which was nine meters long and at the late third level.
boom!
Along with the explosion of black and red true energy, flesh and blood mixed with violent impact rushed out more than ten meters, and countless flesh and blood erupted to form a huge red fan.
roar!
Watching its offspring being killed by that tiny creature in the blink of an eye, the level 4 unicorn's eyes were covered in blood, filled with brutality and murderous intent.
The huge figure crushed the ground with a bang, and every step made the earth shake, stirring up a violent wind and waves... and then turned around and ran away! !
Chen Chu paused slightly.
Well, this level 4 mutant beast seemed to have some intelligence. After seeing Chen Chu kill all its offspring at a terrifying speed in an instant, it knew that this enemy was not to be trifled with.
Unfortunately, how could Chen Chu let go of the contribution points that were delivered to his doorstep?
Accompanied by a sonic boom, a long white air wave followed behind Chen Chu, shooting out with a shrill scream and a strong wind.
In an instant, Chen Chu caught up with the unicorn that had already rushed out hundreds of meters.
roar!
Sensing the strong danger coming from behind, the strange beast knew it could not escape and suddenly turned around. Its huge head and half of its body crashed towards Chen Chu like a collapsing mountain.
This blow from behind the mountain is enough to knock down a building.
Two figures, one big and one small, collided with each other in an instant.
boom!
An indescribable terrifying force erupted from the domineering and heavy Eight Desolations Battle Halberd. The unicorn's body sank suddenly in the dazzling black and red shock wave, and the ground beneath its feet cracked.
The five-meter-long thick horn on its head, covered with hard rock, exploded with a loud bang.
However, the defense of this unicorn beast was indeed strong. It was not killed by Chen Chu's usual halberd attack. Instead, it only shattered the rock armor on half of its body.
In addition, the sharp black and red halberd blades left deep wounds on its head that could be seen to the bone. Its head was covered in blood, making it even more crazy and violent.
Roar, roar, roar!!
With a crazy roar, the big mouth full of sharp teeth opened angrily and pounced on Chen Chu, and then...
Bang!
The halberd swept across, and the explosion of the black and red true dragon power shattered half of the unicorn's head. Countless blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and its huge body fell down with a bang.
In front of the huge mutant beast's corpse, Chen Chu stood with a halberd in his hand, his expression indifferent. The black and red light flowing on his body exuded a heavy sense of oppression.
If the normal attack doesn't kill the enemy, then just use the halberd again.
After killing these mutant beasts, Chen Chu became busy.
He first dragged the huge level 4 mutant beast weighing nearly ten tons to the corpse of the long-haired ape, then threw it up with a burst of power.
Next came one of the level three unicorns whose corpse was slightly better, and it was also placed across the legs of the violent ape.
At this time, the load-bearing limit of the eight anti-gravity disks has almost been reached.
So Chen Chu wielded his halberd and chopped off the horns on the heads of all the mutant beasts, including the level three unicorn that was blown in half.
The horn of this type of mutant creature is both their combat weapon and a material.
After long-term energy tempering, it becomes as hard as alloy and has a certain energy conductivity, and is highly compatible with the power of the earth element.
A level 2 horn, taken back alone, is worth about 2 contribution points, while a level 3 horn might be worth 4 points.
It may not seem like much, but it adds up to 20 or 30 points. Don’t waste it.
Soon, Chen Chu, with his pile of supplies full, set out again. Like an ant, he burst out with strength and dragged the mutant beast, which was a hundred times larger than himself, out of the mountain.
But this time he sprinkled a large bottle of limestone tree powder on the corpses, which emitted a strong smell to neutralize and cover up the bloody smell.
There’s no way, it can’t fit anymore.
Soon a day passed, and Chen Chu had walked almost 900 kilometers of the more than 1,300 kilometers deep into the Yunwu Mountains, which was considered a very fast speed.
If I run faster tomorrow, I should be able to reach the school base before dark.
In three days, we traveled almost 3,000 kilometers back and forth.
This is still him. If it were any other team of fifth-level cultivators, it would take at least a week.
Fortunately, I picked up three ethereal crystals this time, otherwise if I had simply killed a level five peak mutant beast, the harvest would have been just average.
After all, with his strength, he could easily kill two level five mutant beasts and bring them back within two or three days by rushing along the edge of the Yunwu Mountains. There was no need to go so deep.
No wonder those senior students either killed mutant beasts on the outskirts of the mountains or went deep into the mountains to search for resource points.
As he was lost in thought, Chen Chu found a cliff with its back against the mountain wall as a place to rest for the night.
We didn’t find a cave today, and because the mutant beast’s corpse was too large, we couldn’t dig a tree hole, so we had to take the risk of spending the night outside.
But as the sky gradually darkened and dark clouds rolled over, Chen Chu's eyes darkened slightly, because if it rained...
Crash!!
Before Chen Chu could find a new place, heavy rain started to fall. The raindrops as big as beans covered the sky and the earth, submerging them in the blink of an eye.
whoosh!
Chen Chu's true energy flowed through his body, blocking the rain outside his body. He flashed and rushed to a place two meters deep under the cliff, which was just enough to hide from the rain.
Looking at the heavy rain that almost submerged the sky and the earth, Chen Chu let out a breath.
This was the first time that Chen Chu encountered rain after so many times in the mountains. The overwhelming momentum covering hundreds and thousands of kilometers made people feel insignificant.
But... Chen Chu looked at the mutant beast's corpse not far away, his expression slightly solemn.
Under the heavy rain, the tree powder sprinkled on the wounds of the mutant beasts was quickly washed away, the dried blood scabs fell off due to the penetration of rain water, and some blood flowed out again.
The blood, which contained energy, condensed in the rain and did not disperse. It slowly flowed down the hillside along with the rain and rushed into the forest stream.
Looking at the flowing blood and then at the completely dark sky, Chen Chu's expression became more solemn.
"This is troublesome. Fortunately, we are close to the outskirts of the Cloudy Mountains. Otherwise, we would have no choice but to leave these mutant corpses behind."
Night! It was completely dark. The heavy rain lasted for almost two hours before it stopped. The forest after the rain exuded the fresh smell of grass, trees and soil.
At the same time, countless mutant creatures that moved at night came out of their hiding places and walked through the wet woods in search of food.
Chen Chu sat cross-legged at the foot of the cliff, with the Eight Desolations War Halberd beside him.
Not far away were the corpses of the two unicorns and the long-haired ape. The huge wounds had been washed fresh by the rain, and there was no sign of having been dead for a day.
At this time, the mutant beast's corpse was no longer bleeding, but as the night wind blew, a faint smell of blood still drifted far away on the breeze.
Soon, the branches in the distant forest shook, and large amounts of raindrops fell. A pair of greedy and ferocious eyes swept across the corpses of the three mutant beasts, and then fell on Chen Chu.
Soon the second pair, the third pair...
Attracted by the blood of the corpses of advanced mutant creatures flowing in the rain in front, almost all the mutant creatures in this forest were attracted here.
Most of these mutant creatures are level one or two, but there are also quite a few level three ones, and there are even level four ones hiding in the back.
In addition, there were sharp cries of birds in the sky, and their huge wings fanned the air waves, casting large shadows under the faint moonlight.
Because of the bloody attraction of the high-level mutant beasts, these mutant creatures that would normally fight each other when they met forgot about each other, and only had eyes for the flesh and blood of the peak level five beast.
As more and more mutant creatures gathered, one of them finally couldn't stand it anymore.
roar!
Amidst the low roars that shook the mountains and forests, a mutant beast that looked like a tiger, more than sixteen meters long and five meters tall at the shoulder knocked down a tree and walked out.
This level 4 mutant beast slowly approached, looking greedily at the body of the long-haired ape, with drops of greed dripping from the corners of its huge, ferocious mouth.
"It looks like I won't be able to rest tonight."
Along with a faint voice, Chen Chu walked out from under the cliff holding a halberd, and the metal boots under his feet made a heavy clanging sound as they stepped on the rocks.
The corpses of the three mutant beasts add up to almost two hundred contribution points. Chen Chu naturally would not let these mutant creatures eat them.
Similarly, those mutant creatures also desire to devour the flesh and blood of advanced mutant beasts. After eating, absorbing the life factors can allow them to evolve and grow significantly.
Therefore, neither side will back down.
roar!
The thunder-patterned mutant beast let out a brutal roar, and its huge body was surrounded by green gale. With a bang, it crushed the ground and pounced towards Chen Chu at a terrifying speed.
boom!
Along with the explosion of dazzling black and red light, the head of the thunder-patterned beast that had just pounced out in the air exploded with a loud bang, blood and flesh splattered all over the sky, and its body fell to the ground with a bang.
Hot blood gushed out from the wound on the thunder beast's neck like a fountain, and the bloody smell here became stronger in an instant.
At this moment, more than a dozen second-level mutant creatures at the edge of the woods, stimulated by the blood, turned red in the eyes, roared, and rushed out of the forest.
These mutant creatures were very fast, running dozens of meters per second, and in the blink of an eye they rushed in front of Chen Chu, swarming towards him from all directions.
Boom boom boom! With Chen Chu as the center, a four-meter-high black and red ring of true energy exploded, and the corpses of the second-level mutant creatures were shredded wherever they passed.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the entire night sky was covered with a layer of blood.
Roar, roar, roar!!
Under the strong bloody stimulation, dense mutated creatures emerged from the woods. For a moment, the earth shook, and the mountains and seas submerged Chen Chu.
Boom! A black and red chain exploded among countless mutant beasts.
The domineering and sharp halberd edge on the two-ton halberd flickered and was unmatched when swung at supersonic speed. Wherever it passed, mutant creatures exploded.
Whether it is a second-level mutant beast weighing one or two tons, or a third-level mutant creature weighing several tons and seven or eight meters in length, or a fourth-level mutant creature more than ten meters in length.
Under the terrifying and domineering Eight Desolate War Halberd, anything that touched them would be injured, and anything that touched them would explode. As for Chen Chu, his movement speed and reaction speed were both terrifying.
Even some strange attacks can be sensed and avoided in advance by the mind's eye. This is the greatest use of the mind's eye realm, and there is no fear of siege on the battlefield.
BANG BANG BANG!!
Under the black and red chain, the corpses of mutant beasts flew everywhere, their flesh and blood exploded, and the flowing blood dyed almost all the living things around, including Chen Chu, red.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of low-level mutant creatures were killed, and countless scarlet hot blood flowed down the hillside and gathered into streams.
A strong smell of blood rose into the sky, attracting more mutant creatures from afar.
boom!
A level three mutant bird swooping down from the sky was blown to pieces by a halberd. Chen Chu, who jumped hundreds of meters high, was surrounded by a large red light and the halberd was across the sky.
kill!
Accompanied by a long roar, Chen Chu's body shone brightly, as if a god or demon descended from the sky.
boom!
The ground shattered with one blow, and the exploding black and red halberd light swept across a range of twenty meters. All the mutant creatures were torn to pieces by the sharp halberd light wherever it passed, forming a huge crying ghost face.
