Chapter 23: Survival of the Fittest (4)
(PS: Recommend a very wonderful book "The Tyrant's Journey in Another World", don't miss it!)
Starting from this morning, Chang Sheng found that within ten miles of the outer periphery of the Misty Forest, not a single spiritual beast appeared, and even the wolf dogs that used to come out on time to forage were nowhere to be seen. Chang Sheng felt that it should be himself and the other three who had killed too many in the past few days, causing the spiritual beast groups deep within the Misty Forest to become vigilant.
At noon, Chang Sheng and the other three gathered under a giant tree. The four of them, who had been patrolling separately in the morning, reported their discoveries to each other. Pang Hai and the other two had no gains in the morning, nor did they encounter any spiritual beasts. Their guesses were almost identical to Chang Sheng's!
The four of them sat under a giant tree, eating food from their Qiankun bags and expressing their own opinions.
"I think, since the spiritual beasts inside the forest already know of our existence, they will surely gather a large army to attack us. In my opinion, we don't need to stay here anymore. My idea is to temporarily stop hunting spiritual beasts and head to the central fruit tree forest to pick some Grey Mist Fruits."
"I feel that we don't need to stay here any longer. Even if the spiritual beast tribes don't come to attack us, they will still send out a large number of spiritual beasts when they go out to hunt for food. Through these few days of experimentation and coordination, our maximum kill count is simultaneously attacking three first-tier spiritual beasts. If there are more than this number, we will face danger and unexpected situations." Duan Yun nodded and said.
Nie Chen swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "That's right, these past few days we've not only been hunting spirit beasts, but also simultaneously investigated every place within a ten-mile radius. We didn't discover any abnormalities at all. That array should not be here. I agree with their views, it's time for us to enter the central location."
Chang Sheng nodded, "Alright, after we eat and rest, let's bypass the Wolf Dog tribe to the north and the Fire Bird tribe to the south, and pass through the Five Flower Snake group from the west."
Pang Hai and the other two nodded in agreement as soon as they heard Chang Sheng's words. After ten days of continuous fighting, although Chang Sheng did not mention that he had already reached the early stage of the Foundation Establishment period, Pang Hai and the others discovered that their cultivation was fundamentally not on the same level as Chang Sheng's. Even when encountering danger several times, it was all resolved by relying on Chang Sheng's powerful physique and strength. So, unknowingly, Pang Hai and the other two had already taken the youngest Chang Sheng as their leader.
Everything follows the arrangement of Changsheng. This is the world of cultivation, a world that respects strength! In this world, there is no distinction between size or status, only those who have achieved success are prioritized! Those with strength will receive respect from others, and the three of Pang Hai are no exception, because this has been the custom in the cultivation world of Qingyun Continent for nearly 100,000 years.
After ten days of fighting, Changsheng and the other three also searched around a radius of ten miles. They didn't find any unusual places, so they concluded that this was not the location of the array base.
Although no beneficial clues were found, three spiritual beast groups were discovered to be distributed within a radius of ten miles. To the east is the wolf dog group, with over 300 heads, and their activity range is within twenty miles around their group. The firebird group in the south has over 400 birds, and their activity range is within thirty miles around their group. As for the five-colored python to the west, it is currently hibernating due to winter, and the exact number is unknown.
To enter the central location of the Misty Forest, one must first pass through the outer periphery, and the barrier to the outer periphery is the three major tribes, accompanied by various scattered spirit beasts.
The packs of wolf dogs and fire birds are too numerous, making it difficult to pass through. The only place that is easy to get through is the territory of the dormant five-flower python tribe, as long as you don't provoke them while passing by, there won't be any problem.
After dinner, I rested for a while. Then got up and followed Changsheng's footsteps, heading west. Along the way, no spiritual beasts were encountered.
