Chapter 218 - Advancing With Difficulty

Dong.

Dong dong…

The ground shook more and more violently. Chen Yu knew that there was no time to waste. He immediately jumped off the car, drew his sword, and shouted, “You are not martial artists. Hide first.”

“…”

Behind him, there was no response.

Chen Yu looked back in surprise and was immediately dumbfounded.

He saw that the nine soldiers had already carried their weapons and fled several hundred meters away…

Chen Yu: “…”

“Too professional.” Duan Ye walked forward and looked back with Chen Yu. “They fled so quickly, but not a single one of them fell…”

“…Ignore them. This place is full of bombs. We can’t set the battlefield here.”

Bang!

Chen Yu took the lead and charged forward with explosive force. “Block them in front!”

“Alright!”

Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao also followed behind with burning force.

The three of them moved forward at high speed.

Soon, they saw the three behemoths in the distance.

A dog-shaped exotic beast.

A deer-shaped exotic beast.

A bear-shaped exotic beast.

Judging from the size of the three exotic beasts, they were all at Level 2.

“This is the main road. We can’t fight here. Lure them into the forest,” Chen Yu said.

“Okay.”

Duan Ye nodded. He put his palms together, and the air around him swirled.

In a short second, a ball of light the size of a basketball was created.

The light emitted by the ball was more dazzling than the sun at close range, instantly attracting the attention of the three exotic beasts.

“Let’s go!” Duan Ye held the light sphere and decisively changed the direction, running into the dense forest on the left side of the main road.

“Roar! Roar!!”

The exotic beasts roared, moving their limbs and running in pursuit.

“Don’t move yet.”

Stopping Bahuang Yao who was about to jump out, Chen Yu lowered his body and quietly waited for the three enormous beasts to pass in front of him. Only then did he bring the young girl to catch up, hanging far behind the exotic beasts.

“Brother Yu, is it time to make a move? Duan Ye’s physique isn’t good, so he’ll be injured by the beasts.”

“En… The position is good. While they’re not paying attention, sneak attack them. The left side is yours, and the middle and right side are mine. Is there a problem?”

“No.”

“Alright, let’s move!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Bahuang Yao stomped her feet.

Dong!

The ground beneath her feet instantly exploded into a huge crater. As for her, it was as if she was ‘riding on the clouds’ as she shot into the sky above the dog-shaped exotic beast on her left.

“Martial Art — Bahuang Secret Art — Bhang Zhen!”

Boom!

Scarlet flames suddenly exploded!

The young girl turned into a shooting star that descended from the sky and ruthlessly smashed into the waist of the dog-shaped exotic beast!

Boom!

“Roar! Roar! Roar…”

The originally thick waist of the exotic beast snapped in response!

Then, a terrifying vibration frequency spread out. In just a few seconds, it shattered the beast’s muscles, organs, and bones.

The exploded blood and internal organs splattered everywhere, dyeing the small forest in front of him red..

“F*ck…”

Looking at the mess of dust and blood in front of him, Chen Yu was shocked.

A single strike had shattered half of the beast!

This kind of destructive power was already not inferior to that of an ordinary peak Level 2 martial artist.

It could only be said that when one’s level rose, one’s talent of having a high energy conversion ratio was finally revealed…

“No, I can’t dawdle.”

Coming back to his senses, Chen Yu hurriedly activated the energy in his body to form a circuit.

“Martial Art — Leap of Faith!”

[Body suppressed: Explosive Power Reduced -37%]

White light shot out.

A feeling of power that couldn’t be described with words filled every single cell.

“Professor Zhen, you are really a god…”

After sighing for a quarter of a second, Chen Yu gathered strength at his waist and kicked hard!

Dong!

An even bigger pit appeared on the ground!

The stronger impact naturally pushed Chen Yu into the air at an even faster speed.

“Martial Art — Imitation Bahuang Secret Art — Bahuang Yao’s Dad.”

Clang!

The blade whistled, and the aura resonated!

The light flashed, and before the blade could be seen, the deer-like beast’s head shot into the sky, spewing tons of red blood.

Bahuang Yao: “…”

In a split second, Chen Yu turned in the air and threw his right hand!

Swoosh!

The invincible sharp blade accurately pierced through the back of the bear-like beast’s ear, went straight to its brain stem, and pierced through its bones.

Boom!

Boom!!

The two giant beasts swayed and fell, knocking over dozens of trees and sending dust flying everywhere.

After a long while, when the dust settled, Duan Ye ran over eagerly and clapped his hands repeatedly. “You two are really awesome! I’ll have legs in the future. Especially Brother Yu, you’re so damn cool when you fly with a sword!”

“En. Basic shit.” Chen Yu calmly waved his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and went into the forest.

“Brother Yu, where are you going?”

“To look for a sword.”

“…”

After watching Chen Yu’s back disappear, Duan Ye shifted his target and looked at Bahuang Yao. “Yao Zi, you’re really too awesome. That tremor just now made my legs go numb. Then, a bold idea popped up in my mind.”

“What idea?” The girl was puzzled.

“Can you generate that kind of tremor power in your body?”

“Yes, I can. What’s wrong?”

“…Nothing. You just want fire.”

“Ah?” Bahuang Yao looked confused.

“You two, what are you babbling about?” From afar, Chen Yu’s roar could be heard. “Hurry up and help me find the sword! F*ck! I can’t find it…”

…

Ten minutes later, Chen Yu and the other two returned to the convoy.

They saw that the nine soldiers had already gotten into the car and were ready to move forward at any time.

“Oh? When did you guys come back?” Jumping onto the front of the car, Duan Ye’s tone carried a hint of mockery. “I thought you guys were following the road, but now you’re all inside.”

The two soldiers: “…”

The driver: “We can’t run that fast.”

“Why are you complaining about this?” Chen Yu waved his hand. “Professionals do what they do professionally. They are soldiers, not martial artists. When they encounter strange beasts, it means that it’s the first rule. Otherwise, why don’t you drive the truck?”

“En… That’s true. I’ve seen too much.”

“Let’s all go.” Chen Yu waved his hand and jumped onto the roof of the truck. “Yao, continue to scout ahead and pay attention to your safety. Duan Ye, you take the rear and continue to move forward.”

The order was given and the convoy set off again.

They walked unsteadily towards Ye Sanpo.

And in the following journey, the frequency of exotic beasts appearing became higher and higher.

After passing through Nangou Valley, they would encounter a few exotic beasts every few kilometers, which was extremely annoying.

The speed of their journey naturally slowed down gradually.

Moreover, the increase in the level of the exotic beasts made it even more troublesome for Chen Yu and the other two to deal with.

Boom…

With a loud sound, countless exotic beasts fell to the ground, dead.

Chen Yu shook off the bloodstains on his sword, sheathed his sword, and turned around. Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao were already panting.

“Are you two okay?”

“No… No problem.” The girl nodded.

“I can’t do it anymore.”Duan Ye gulped with difficulty. He sat on the broken tree trunk and waved his hand repeatedly. “Even a mage’s body is weak. My strength is almost exhausted. I need to recuperate…”

“If you don’t encounter any more exotic beasts, don’t make a move. Leave everything to me,” Chen Yu suggested. “Conserve your strength. When we enter the Ye Sanpo, we’ll definitely encounter exotic beasts above Level 3, or even Level 4. It’ll be a tough battle.”

“Then can you do it with your stamina?” Bahuang Yao asked.

“Can I do it?” Chen Yu raised his head. “I’ve done it hundreds of times in one night. Are you asking me if my stamina is okay?”

“No problem.” Duan Ye panted and gave him a thumbs up. “The sun has rain and the night has sunshine. Don’t ask Brother Yu if he can do it. The sky has an eagle, the Earth has a drain. Without my Brother Yu, I can’t do it. Leave everything to him. I can’t move my liver anymore…”

Chen Yu: “…Good job.”

“Why are there so many exotic beasts here?” Bahuang Yao wiped the sweat off her forehead. “Was it the same in the past?”

“Impossible.” Duan Ye shook his head. “This area is very close to the capital. No matter how many exotic beasts there are, after so many years, they should have been killed by the professors long ago.”

“Could… Could it be a Beast Tide…” Bahuang Yao timidly voiced out her guess.

“It can’t be.”Duan ye shook his head. “A Beast Tide is a gathering place. Usually, the number of exotic beasts in the vicinity of a city where a Beast Tide occurs will decrease.”

“That’s not right.” Chen Yu frowned. “The exotic beasts here aren’t gathering. They’re all in twos and threes.”

“Who knows what’s going on…?”

With doubt, the convoy slowly moved forward again…

A few hundred meters behind the motorcade, a graceful figure was hidden in the canopy of the tree.

Her seductive phoenix eyes were fixed on Chen Yu, who was on the roof of the car, and her sweet tongue brushed past her red and sexy lips.

“What a terrifying physical strength…”

Muttering, she pulled out a foldable mattress from her backpack. “Wu, wu, wu.”

“This little wolf dog is mine for the taking. Even Jesus can’t keep him…”
