"Quick, let’s rest and recover!"
"Right! This is a hard-won opportunity!"
"We’ll protect him if he gets exhausted!"
.....
As their voices spread, everyone began to rest. After all, this was a chance that hadn’t come easily!
Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi felt like he was just picking up free money.
’Damn!’
’This feels so good!’
One punch, and that was a Silver Tier Crystal Core!
This was so much faster than hunting for Exotic Beasts in the jungle!
Gradually, Ye Yunyi pushed his Nine Nether Qi and Divine-level Body Technique to their absolute limits.
The Exotic Beasts couldn’t even see his shadow. All they saw was a flash before their world went dark!
A short while later, for a hundred meters in front of the assembled Mutants, not a single Exotic Beast was left standing!
Seeing this scene, the people resting in the rear...
...were completely floored.
’Damn, what kind of insane combat power is this?!’
’Isn’t he tired?!’
At that moment, the adjutant came over.
She looked at the scene before her.
The once-surging Exotic Beast Tide...
...actually seemed to be retreating!
Some of the Exotic Beasts had already started heading back toward the jungle!
Perhaps now, in their eyes, Ye Yunyi was the real Exotic Beast!
The Exotic Beast that could slaughter them at will!
’Terrifying. Just too terrifying!’
"Damn it! Don’t run!"
"Stop! For fuck’s sake!"
Ye Yunyi noticed this as well.
’This easy prey wants to get away?’
’That’s just ridiculous!’
He immediately brandished his Giant Axe.
Stepping on the void, he shot forward.
SQUELCH! SQUELCH!
The sound of tearing flesh echoed endlessly!
Another swath of Exotic Beasts fell.
At this point, the other Exotic Beasts finally came to their senses and scrambled back toward the jungle with no regard for anything else!
Their retreat was even more frantic than their initial charge!
Ye Yunyi swung his axe one last time.
Then, he reached his hand in.
Absorb!
After absorbing it,
he lifted the Exotic Beast’s head and looked behind him.
Just then, the adjutant and the other Mutants were also looking at him.
"I... why do I feel my legs trembling?!"
"If my rational mind wasn’t telling me he’s a Mutant, I’d really think he was an Exotic Beast that had taken human form."
"Keep your voice down! He’s our savior!"
"Ah, right, but my heart won’t stop pounding!"
"I think mine is, too."
......
The adjutant: "..."
’Forget the others, I’m thinking the same thing.’
’The point is, this level of power is just too terrifying!’
’It’s no exaggeration to say he’s cutting them down like vegetables!’
She looked at Ye Yunyi, then remembered the sound of war drums from the South Gate earlier.
"A few of you stay here. The rest, follow me to reinforce the South Gate!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Over here, Ye Yunyi also heard the adjutant’s words.
’That’s right!’
’There are more at the South Gate!’
’And here I was, worried about not having enough Crystal Cores to absorb.’
After all, despite absorbing so many Crystal Cores, his tier hadn’t changed at all.
’It seems breaking into the Gold Tier really isn’t that easy!’
’To the South Gate!’
After the group had left,
the few who remained behind looked at the Exotic Beast corpses before them.
"We should hurry up and deal with this. Let’s gather all the Exotic Beast corpses."
"And dig out the Crystal Cores."
"These Crystal Cores all belong to that man. We’ll extract them and give them to him."
"Right."
Everyone agreed. After all, Ye Yunyi had killed all these Exotic Beasts, not to mention he had protected them and the barrier.
Given his strength, they didn’t dare to harbor any thoughts of greed or covetousness.
They got right to work.
They headed toward the Exotic Beast corpses.
And began to sort through them.
But!
"Holy shit?! Where’s the Exotic Beast Crystal Core from this one?"
"Mine’s missing too!"
"This one too!"
"It’s gone!"
.....
Everyone: "..." ’Are we seeing ghosts?!’
’Where are the Crystal Cores?’
’How are they all gone?!’
’Huh?!’
"Could it be... that man was collecting the Crystal Cores at the same time he was killing them?"
After mulling it over, one person voiced this idea.
The suggestion immediately gained everyone’s assent.
What other explanation could there be?
At that, the corners of their mouths twitched!
’Fighting and collecting Crystal Cores at the same time?! Is he even human?!’
’What kind of power is that?!’
They continued sorting through the bodies.
They finally found a few that had been missed.
They gathered up those Crystal Cores, though they didn’t know if these were from beasts Ye Yunyi had killed or ones they had killed themselves.
But they set them all aside for Ye Yunyi.
「Meanwhile.」
The South Gate battlefield!
They were also locked in a bitter struggle!
Bai Zhixi was currently fighting a Late-Silver Stage Exotic Beast, a Mutated Scale Two-headed Snake.
As for the others,
they too were locked in mortal combat with the Exotic Beasts!
The battlefield was littered with severed limbs!
Similarly, bodies were strewn everywhere!
"At this rate, we won’t be able to hold on for much longer!"
"I wonder what’s happening at the North Gate!"
"Could it be... that the barrier has already been breached at the North Gate?!"
As these words were spoken, morale began to dwindle.
Hearing this, Bai Zhixi thrust her longsword forward and then slashed down!
SCREEECH!
The sword struck the Mutated Scale Two-headed Snake’s body, creating a shower of sparks but failing to pierce it in the slightest!
’This!’
She retreated several steps, surveying the battlefield.
Her eyes were grave.
But, the next moment!
The city gate opened!
The adjutant emerged, leading her people!
Ye Yunyi looked at the battlefield, his eyes gleaming with excitement!
’So many of them!’
He felt like a wolf let loose in a sheep pen!
"Reinforcements are here!"
"Does this mean the Exotic Beast Tide at the North Gate has been dealt with?!"
"Kill!"
"Haha, so what if it’s an Exotic Beast Tide!"
......
With the arrival of the people from the North Gate, the morale at the South Gate soared!
They all charged toward the Exotic Beasts before them!
One Mutant was just about to deliver the finishing blow to an Exotic Beast in front of him!
The next moment!
A figure dropped down, directly stomping the Exotic Beast’s head into a pulp.
Then, holding a Giant Axe, the figure shot off wildly in another direction!
Meanwhile, Bai Zhixi leaped into the air, fiercely battling the two heads of the Mutated Scale Two-headed Snake.
After landing a successful strike, she glanced back to check on the battle as she landed.
Bai Zhixi: "..."
’What is that?!’
She was in the air, giving her a high vantage point!
She looked at the dark, overwhelming tide of Exotic Beasts.
But now, a strange disturbance was weaving relentlessly through the beast tide!
Wherever that disturbance went, blood splattered!
Its speed was incredible!
It was as if Earth Traveler Sun were tunneling through the earth!
In its wake, Exotic Beasts were sent flying, or their heads and limbs were sent soaring through the air!
’What is that!’
However, before she could react, the Mutated Scale Two-headed Snake attacked again!
At this moment, the Mutants below were all stunned.
"Holy shit!"
"Who is that? He’s so ferocious!"
"Is he just wiping them all out?"
........
As the voices rang out, the Mutants from the South Gate were dumbfounded.
"That man will take care of the Exotic Beasts in front of you so you can rest!"
"Back at the North Gate, he was the sole reason we repelled the Exotic Beast Tide!"
"All of you, hurry and get some rest!"
"With him here, we’ll definitely survive!"
.......
Following the words of the Mutants from the North Gate,
everyone watched Ye Yunyi as he carved a path of slaughter through the Exotic Beast Tide.
Their eyes filled with reverence.
’So that’s how it is!’
At this moment, the prestige Ye Yunyi held in the eyes of the Mutants reached an unprecedented height!
