Chapter 36: Chapter 35 Goodbye, Ten Thousand Beast Cave Heaven (Seeking investment and follow-up reading)

The Firefly Forest at night was very quiet, so quiet it was frightening.

The sounds of insects and the cries of birds in the forest had faded away. Only a few sobbing sounds occasionally spread through the empty air, tainted with the scent of blood, seeming to be the last struggles of life and pleas before death.

Dark clouds covered the moon, brewing its final act, and the whole earth was shrouded in darkness. The forest, with its once gnarly and clawing shapes, soaked in a lifeless luster, appeared so defeated and powerless.

PATTER, PATTER.

In the dim cave, the bonfire blazed, bringing some brightness.

Hong Yuan lay back lazily against the cave wall, watching his swarm of bees devour two plump, first-tier Qing Spider Demon Beasts.

Hong Yuan’s current bee swarm consisted of only six hundred individuals, which was somewhat weak. Furthermore, the three hundred newly added bees were the weakest black honeybees, giving Hong Yuan a sense of crisis.

Even though Hong Yuan still had his archery skills, and hadn’t even taken out his ultimate skill, the Great Achievement Realm of the Five Tiger Breaking Gate Sword, he had decided to hunt a first-tier Eagle Demon Beast tomorrow and then immediately leave the Ten Thousand Beast Cave Heaven.

Second-tier Rapid Bee Worms, I wonder how many I can control at the same time.

Also, when I successfully refine the second-tier Rapid Bee Worms, I suppose I will also have advanced to a second-tier Blacksmith...

Hong Yuan thought to himself.

[Cultivation Technique: Five Tiger Breaking Gate Sword (Great Achievement 435/8000)]

[Skills and Arts: Blacksmithing Tier One (562/1000)]

...

「A night passed uneventfully.」

The next morning, as the sun began to rise, the forest once again filled with the sounds of insects and birds. Hong Yuan walked out of the cave.

BUZZ.

Six hundred bees swirled around Hong Yuan, terrifyingly ferocious.

Choosing a direction, Hong Yuan set off with large strides. The six hundred bees acted as his eyes and ears, escorting and protecting him.

An hour later, Hong Yuan stopped beneath a green mountain.

The mountain slope was covered in lush, dripping greenery, and the mist that had not yet dispersed hung around its waist like elegant silk.

This beautiful scene did not bring Hong Yuan any joy. Instead, his mood became heavier.

He saw the Chase Wind Eagles circling above and heard the roar of the Lightning Wolf pack coming from atop the mountain!!!

Someone was engaged in fierce battle with the two disciples from the Spirit Beast Hall!

What a coincidence? Hong Yuan wondered.

Without much hesitation, Hong Yuan dispatched Bee One, Bee Three, and Bee Four, each leading their respective teams, to scout the specific situation.

Meanwhile, Hong Yuan himself hid away under the protection of the remaining three hundred bees, ready to strike.

Suddenly, Hong Yuan had three different viewpoints in his line of sight. At first, it was a dynamic image, but later, it turned into intermittent, blurry photos, much like watching a PowerPoint presentation.

Soon, Hong Yuan understood the situation.

Atop the mountain, two factions were fighting over a small herd of Qingmu Deer.

This small Qingmu Deer Herd numbered at least forty or fifty, valued at several thousand Energy Stones!

One side was the two Spirit Beast Hall disciples from the day before.

The other was that tender-faced boy he had encountered at the Transmission Array, accompanied by a purple-robed True Disciple.

And under the onslaught of this purple-robed True Disciple, the disciples from the Spirit Beast Hall were losing ground!?

Damn, even a True Disciple has come, that’s just too shameless, Hong Yuan cursed under his breath.

True Disciples generally start at the rank of third-tier Martial Artists, who have already begun the initial transformation of Martial Artists, reaching a basic harmonious state between True Essence and physique.

It is nearly impossible for a second-tier Martial Artist to defeat a third-tier Martial Artist, except for those rare prodigies born once in a generation.

The power-level barriers in this world were extremely strict.

Therefore, in such a situation, Hong Yuan caught a glimpse of the purple-robed True Disciple dealing with the Chase Wind Wolves with almost one palm per wolf, truly a terrifying and dreadful sight.

If it weren’t for the two second-level Demon Beasts fighting for their lives, those two disciples from the Spirit Beast Hall would have been captured long ago.

"Junior Sister, you must crush the Beast Token quickly," Xu Haisheng hurriedly instructed.

"Senior Brother, I won’t abandon you and run away," Xiao Youjun resolutely refused.

Xu Haisheng was moved and helpless upon hearing this.

As the main target, he was watched closely by the True Disciple and the other disciple, with no chance to crush the Beast Token.

If he stopped controlling his beasts to take out the Beast Token, the True Disciple would immediately close in and restrain his limbs.

Why would there be True Disciples in the Firefly Forest? Xu Haisheng lamented in his heart, no longer caring about the Qingmu Deer Herd at this moment.

If he wasn’t careful, the True Disciple would snatch away all his years of hard work!

On the other side, Zhang Tianyuan was extremely pleased, the frustration of the past few days swept away.

Heh, I let you escape by chance yesterday. You couldn’t have imagined that you would be so greedy to try and capture Qingmu Deer again today. Little did you know, all these Qingmu Deer were traps I’ve set! Zhang Tianyuan thought secretly.

Although he didn’t know why his senior sister suddenly entered the Firefly Forest today, and even came especially to escort him, saying that the Firefly Forest had become a vortex of events.

But with his senior sister’s presence, Zhang Tianyuan had already outlined a plan in his mind.

Seeing the proud expression on Zhang Tianyuan’s face, Xiao Youjun felt so frustrated she gritted her teeth.

Isn’t it just relying on a True Transmission senior sister? Who doesn’t have a True Transmission senior brother or sister?

Xiao Youjun already had a guess about why this True Disciple had come – it must have been due to the trouble stirred up in yesterday’s melee.

Right now, she prayed intensely that her second senior sister and third senior brother would realize the situation and come to their rescue.

At that moment, Xiao Youjun heard the buzzing of bee wings. Turning to look behind her, she immediately noticed three peculiar bees leading the way.

Her eyes lit up upon seeing this, and she shouted loudly, "Senior Brother, come and help us!!!"

Her voice was so booming that everyone on the field held back a fraction of their strength.

Xu Haisheng secretly sighed in relief, Zhang Tianyuan was slightly annoyed, and True Disciple Zhu Wenlan’s eyes flickered with a strange light.

Instigated by True Disciple Zhu Wenlan, the battlefield began to shift towards the foot of the mountain, clearly intending to draw Hong Yuan into the fray.

At the foot of the mountain, Hong Yuan’s expression turned cold.

The Great Achievement Realm of the Five Tiger Breaking Gate Sword could allow one to challenge those at a higher level, and the Qinglu Mountain Moving Skill had forged an exceedingly powerful physique. Moreover, the True Essence refined by the Myriad Silence Origin Skill was far superior to his peers.

All of this clearly indicated that Hong Yuan was an extraordinary talent with the ability to fight above his class!!!

Thousands of Energy Stones, enough for me to get rich in one fell swoop, no need to work for two years!

That True Disciple seems to be merely a minor third-tier Martial Artist. What if I can counter-kill him?

That’s a Qingmu Deer Herd worth a full several thousand Energy Stones!!!

The long-silent passion inside Hong Yuan’s heart pounded, filling him with excitement.

At that moment, he thought of Xiao Yan, Ye Fan, and Luo Feng.

And so, with a thought from Hong Yuan, the three leading Sting Bee Worms began to attack and devour each other.

Just as the battlefield began to shift, the bees surrounding Hong Yuan launched a suicidal advance.

Without formation, just a burst of momentum.

Finally, Hong Yuan swiftly collected the last three Sting Bee Worms into his Aperture before crushing the Beast Token.

Hong Yuan began to escape, even if it meant sacrificing the three Sting Bee Worms.

Challenging those above my level? Counter-killing? I’ll leave that to the next peerless genius...

Hong Yuan was enveloped by the light of teleportation, isolating him.

「Farewell, Ten Thousand Beast Cave Heaven!」
