Free Web NovelChapter 1718: Chapter 1718 Arresting Strong Young Men
"Don’t worry, they’re just feral beasts!"
The Devil Vine Seed had now transformed into the image of a small boy. His appearance was much more pleasing to the eye, even though his expression was a bit wooden.
"Keep the virtuoso for me, I need to use them to exchange for resources. You’ll have to bear with it for now, and I’ll make it up to you later!" Ye Liuyun negotiated with the Devil Vine Seed.
"Okay! But you’ll have to make it up double!" The Devil Vine Seed was even haggling now.
Later, Ye Liuyun and his clone both took out their bows and arrows, prepared their defenses, and even took out thirty-six flags from the Formation Flag given to him by Qiong Qi, setting up a small defense formation.
Fortunately, this fire wolf pack wasn’t too large, just over thirty.
The Devil Vine had strangled half of the late-stage, first-level fire wolves, and Ye Liuyun and his doppelganger shot the rest with their bows and arrows.
Those at the early to mid-stage of first-level were left for everyone to practice.
"This haul is pretty substantial, should be enough to exchange for a few virtuoso formulas, right?"
Ye Liuyun stored the virtuoso and the wolf corpses separately, then packed up the Formation Flags.
"Roar!"
A bear roar resonated, shaking the surrounding trees and ground.
The Black Panther was startled and immediately jumped to Ye Liuyun’s side.
"Judging by the sound, it seems like a second-level Immortal Realm feral beast. Leave it to me!" said the Devil Vine Seed valiantly.
At this moment, both Ye Liuyun and his doppelganger transformed their bows and arrows into knives.
The advance energy they cultivated these days, stored in the energy Storage Stone, was depleted by those few arrows just now. Now all they could do was to fight with blades.
Ye Liuyun had planned to return, but unexpectedly ran into an arrogant bear coming to rob him.
He guessed that the howling of the fire wolf pack must have startled it.
"Let me confront it first, and you protect me," Ye Liuyun suddenly told the Devil Vine Seed.
"Okay!" The Devil Vine Seed agreed without saying much and immediately burrowed into the ground.
"Boom, Boom..." The arrogant bear started to run, shaking the ground wildly.
In the direction it charged, trees were knocked "crash-bang" to both sides.
"It looks like it’s not small in size!" Ye Liuyun, gripping the Demon Slayer blade in his hand, was also somewhat nervous.
Finally, the body of the arrogant bear showed itself.
"It’s so big!" Lei Ming screamed out.
The size of this arrogant bear was even bigger than Lei Ming’s own body.
"Since it is a feral beast in the late stage of the Immortal Realm Second Domain, you should act quickly!" After reminding Ye Liuyun, the Devil Vine Seed immediately began to stretch out its tendrils towards the arrogant bear.
It wasn’t afraid of a feral beast of this level, but it was worried that Ye Liuyun wouldn’t be able to withstand the arrogant bear’s attack, so it planned to let Ye Liuyun strike first then retreat.
Ye Liuyun swung his blade from a distance.
However, this blow only shaved off a few hairs from the arrogant bear’s shoulder.
Instead of injuring the arrogant bear, it only served to enrage it, and it charged straight at Ye Liuyun.
Everyone else hurriedly dodged while Ye Liuyun continuously used his Lightning Power and Golden Crow Sacred Fire to hinder the Savage arrogant bear’s attack.
But even his power of thunder and Golden Crow Sacred Fire could only singe a patch of bear fur, and could not harm the arrogant bear’s physical body at all.
Whereas the binding of the Devil Vine started to take effect, pulling the arrogant bear directly onto the ground.
"Roar!"
The arrogant bear struggled and tore at the vine. After tearing apart a few vines, however, it was bound by even more vines.
Despite the arrogant bear’s strength, the vine proved to be more enduring. Soon, the arrogant bear was stretched out on the ground in a sprawled position.
Ye Liuyun also leaped up and stabbed downward directly with his blade.
With the sharpness of a second-class Divine Weapon, this blade finally managed to penetrate the body of the arrogant bear.
Immediately after, Ye Liuyun retracted his blade, and the Devil Vine took the opportunity to clutch the wound, extending into the arrogant bear’s body and scooping out its virtuoso.
"Roar!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The arrogant bear kept struggling and roaring until its mouth was entire bound by the Devil Vine, rendering it finally unable to make a sound.
With the virtuoso gone, the arrogant bear’s resistance started to reduce and Ye Liuyun was able to stab it directly in the heart.
Just before dying, the arrogant bear launched a Divine Soul attack directly at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun, who was worried about his lack of Divine Soul power, found it delivered right to him. He would have not dared to actively attack it if the arrogant bear hadn’t made the first move.
However, the spiritual essence of this arrogant bear wasn’t so much greater than that of Ye Liuyun. It seems that it had not deliberately cultivated Divine Soul power.
But to Ye Liuyun, this was good enough! They’ve killed so many feral beast, and this was the first one who dared to attack him with Divine Soul power.
The arrogant bear must have had no other choice but to go all out.
After Ye Liuyun’s "Ten Universal God Token" extinguished the arrogant bear’s soul, it replenished Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul.
Upon absorption, Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul seemed to grow visibly.
His range of Divine Sense also expanded from ten meters to one hundred meters.
Although the range was not wide enough to have any significant impact, as long as there was progress, he was very content.
Afterwards, Ye Liuyun gathered the arrogant bear’s virtuoso and corpse, retracted the Devil Vine, and led everyone back to their original path.
On their way back, even killing slightly weaker feral beasts seemed easier than before.
Along the way, a few of them still engaged in discussions regarding the power of feral beasts at the second rank of the Immortal Realm.
"No wonder Qiong Qi said earlier, the difference in rank is as high as the heavens. Now it looks like he was right!" Ye Liuyun sighed.
"Do you think we are just not used to it?" Man Shu asked.
Ye Liuyun shook his head, "I feel like I’ve already brought out all of my strength! It’s not that we’re not used to it, but our opponents are too powerful. At the moment, we are simply not a match for the second rank of the Immortal Realm. At most, I will only be able to fight against a later stage of the first rank!"
Even then, he was more capable than the others. Most of them were only capable of fighting against a mid-stage of the first rank.
"I will exchange for more resources from the trading company once I return! We need to enhance our strength as soon as possible!" Ye Liuyun immediately hastened his steps to return.
If he wanted to rescue Liang Xue and confront the Fairy Clan, he needed to gather resources in a hurry.
He felt it was time for him to leave this place. The resources here were limited and staying longer would only be a waste of time.
Before leaving the mountain, Ye Liuyun took everyone into the Spatial World.
However, just before he returned to Li family’s village, he ran into Hunter Li’s father.
"I’m glad I caught you in time. Don’t go back yet!" Hunter Li’s father stopped Ye Liuyun.
"What’s wrong? Did you come to find me on purpose?" Ye Liuyun was a bit puzzled.
"Well, this is the deal! The City Lord’s Mansion has sent people to catch young men, they just entered our village. If you go back, they will definitely take you," Li Laodie explained.
"The City Lord’s Mansion is catching young men?" Ye Liuyun was still puzzled. What was the City Lord’s Mansion coming here to catch young men for?
"The City Lord’s Mansion has a mission. Every year, they are required to send a certain number of people to fight with the foreign race. They don’t want to send their own family members so they go to various villages to catch young men. Xing Nan’s parents were both taken this way. Since they left, they never returned!" Li Laodie said helplessly.
