220: Chapter 220 Blocking the Spring

After clearing a few AI Magical Beast outposts.

Chen Yi's group encountered a somewhat peculiar AI Magical Beast—a Fierce-Toothed Giant Bear with an exceptionally sturdy build and terrifying fangs, yet a cowering expression.

And the moment this bear saw Chen Yi and the others, it actually didn't attack.

Instead, it made a human-like gesture of crouching with its head in its paws and spoke in a muffled, booming voice, begging for mercy: "Hero! Spare me! Don't kill me! I don't taste good!"

Seeing this, Chen Yi's group was also greatly astonished.

An AI Magical Beast could actually beg for mercy?

It could even speak?

This was truly rare!

Chen Yi found it interesting and teased it casually: "I can spare you, but can you lead us to other magical beast outposts?"

The girls all covered their mouths and giggled, thinking Chen Yi's idea was naively cute; how could an AI Magical Beast really lead the way?

But what happened next made everyone's jaws nearly drop to the ground.

The Fierce-Toothed Giant Bear tilted its large head, thought for a moment, and then actually stood up, starting to lead the way cautiously, looking back every three steps!

As it walked, it mumbled: "F-follow me, I know where they all huddle together—"

The intelligence and realism of this AI were simply too high—everyone thought to themselves.

Everyone followed the Fierce-Toothed Giant Bear through the dense forest, twisting and turning for about half an hour until a ravine area appeared ahead, with a medium-sized plain standing in the middle.

In the center of the clearing, there was a strikingly discordant structure—a giant, slowly rotating Vortex Gate, shaped somewhat like an old-fashioned hotel revolving door.

Direct above the door, there was a clear red number counting down.

[ ]

The moment the countdown hit zero, the black Vortex Gate suddenly accelerated its rotation, followed by a group of snarling AI Magical Beasts walking out from within.

These beasts would symbolically look around, and then their bodies would glow with a faint light, instantly teleporting them away randomly.

The countdown above started counting down from 100 again—

The Fierce-Toothed Giant Bear pointed at the door pitifully: "It's here—we all come from here—a wave comes out every once in a while—"

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, momentarily unsure of what to say.

Could this be a fixed spawn point for AI Magical Beasts, just like in some RPG games?

This is freaking bizarre!

It wasn't until the next wave of beasts spawned and teleported away that everyone finally snapped out of their daze.

In the next second, immense joy instantly overwhelmed everyone!

Isn't this just camping the spawn point?

There's such a good thing?

If they guarded this place and had a wave of points delivered to their doorstep every so often, their efficiency would be peerless!

Moreover, it would probably only take one spirit beast to guard this place!

The vast amount of time and manpower saved could then be used for—cultivation and nurturing affinity?

Looking at the corners of The girls' mouths gradually curling up and their eyes shining.

Chen Yi also subconsciously touched his lower back and sighed.

"Well, it looks like Kidney Brother is going to start working high-intensity overtime again—"

Consequently, the atmosphere suddenly shifted.

The girls quickly divided the work, drew up a shift schedule, and took turns guarding the black Vortex Gate, instantly killing every wave of beasts that came out.

The rest of The girls pulled Chen Yi to a hidden natural ravine nearby—starting an outdoor BBQ party and cultivation convention!

Tents, hot pot, lounge chairs, BBQ grills, ingredients—everyone placed orders through their Tokens, just like shopping!

Then, a few minutes later, a spirit beast capable of using Spatial Secret Techniques would deliver the purchased supplies, which was extremely convenient!

For a time, smoke curled up in the ravine, the fragrance wafted everywhere, laughter and chatter filled the air, and fluctuations of spiritual power rose and fell.

The higher-ups watching from behind the scenes were collectively dumbfounded upon seeing this, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"How can there be an assessment like this?"

"Cheating! This is cheating!"

"The rules didn't say it's not allowed, right? If others can camp the spawn point, that's their strength; we can't exactly ban it, can we?"

"I have never seen such a brazen person!"

Meanwhile, the Flying Camera used for broadcasting to the audience found Chen Yi's location and began aerial filming!

Upon seeing this, the audience also broke out in exclamations.

[Others are fighting for their lives to survive, while you're having a BBQ in the wild?]

[Reported, reported! Someone is using hacks!]

[Waaa, I'm crying from envy, what kind of divine life is this!]

[Does Big Brother Chen Yi still need someone to serve tea and water?]

[---]

Looking at the live camera hovering in the air, Chen Yi was also quite speechless.

It's just a BBQ, is it really necessary to film it?

How uncomfortable!

While Chen Yi was enjoying this rare wartime leisure.

Some bullet comments in the live stream coming from Leng Wuhen's channel began to give frantic warnings, but unfortunately, Chen Yi couldn't see them at all.

[Leng Wuhen's team is heading this way! They're about three kilometers away!]

[Holy crap? Are they going to run into each other?]

[The number one seed meeting the third, fourth, and fifth seeds, this is going to be a good show!]

However, there was no need for bullet comment warnings at all.

Luo Shiyin suddenly raised her head, looking toward the southeast, as the green wind around her body began to swirl involuntarily!

Because she felt it—that familiar yet incredibly complex aura!

"She's here—"

Luo Shiyin spoke in a low voice, a long-suppressed, blazing fighting spirit instantly igniting in her eyes.

She leaped straight out of the ravine, standing on the high ground, her gaze tightly locked on the direction the aura was coming from.

Almost simultaneously, Leng Wuhen's team, which was moving rapidly through the forest, also came to a halt.

Luo Yuqing in the team sensed something; her cold gaze pierced through the trees and landed precisely on Luo Shiyin.

Their gazes collided across the distance, and the air seemed to freeze.

Luo Yuqing said something simple to Leng Wuhen and Lin Xiao, then walked alone toward Luo Shiyin's direction.

A heavy atmosphere instantly enveloped the area, and even the wind seemed to stop flowing.

The bullet comments in the live stream exploded immediately, and many experts began to explain the history of the Luo Family sisters' grievances.

The past stories of Luo Shiyin's counterattack from an F-rank Bloodline and Luo Yuqing's suppression as a beneficiary were dug up, instantly sparking a huge wave of discussion and a desire to take sides among the audience.

[Luo Shiyin is so pitiful, having such a good background but encountering such things—]

[Give me a break! What's so pitiful? In this world, if your bloodline and talent levels are low, isn't it normal to encounter such things?]

[Exactly! The fact that Luo Shiyin can even have a meal is already better than many people!]

[But fortunately, she met Chen Yi. I didn't expect Chen Yi's talent to be so awesome that even an F-rank Bloodline could burst forth with this level of power—]

Luo Shiyin and Luo Yuqing stopped ten meters apart, staring at each other for a long time.

Silent electric sparks filled the air.
