132: Night's Silence
The Black Scale Beetle was terrified, the feeling of death throbbing in its heart.
It could only exert its maximum strength to escape the Dark Veil Hunter that was chasing it.
Several streaks of white light were as fast as lightning.
The sharp and fatal energy directly penetrated the Black Scale Beetle's body.
Its decent defensive carapace was instantly pierced through.
A gash deep into its flesh and bone was clearly visible.
Its eyes were filled with terror and helplessness.
It was definitely going to die now.
This feeling was not wrong in the slightest.
Black Night watched the Ice Soul Flying Eagle and the Dan Hong White Crane rapidly approaching.
And their skills, ready to be unleashed.
He immediately went all out, an invisible blade instantly slashing down.
Yet, it was strangely silent, with only an invisible ripple spreading through the air.
But in an instant, it appeared and slashed at the Black Scale Beetle's abdomen.
Causing it to lose its life immediately.
This was the powerful effect of the Space-type skill—Space Chaotic Slash.
The invisible blade, under Black Night's control, could appear directly in front of the enemy.
After this period of diligent training, it had achieved some success, and its power was no less than that of Blade Qi Strike.
Moreover, it was mysterious and unpredictable, making it difficult to dodge even with precautions.
Any enemy encountering this move would find it extremely troublesome.
Black Night stood in mid-air, very satisfied with the scene before him.
Li Wen and Chu Yu, however, didn't notice anything.
Such a scene had occurred many times just now, nothing different.
Even a level 50 Beastmaster could be instantly killed with one slash.
Let alone this Black Scale Beetle, which was only level 46.
"Your observation is truly meticulous, you even noticed that."
Li Wen said, admiringly, while opening his Space Storage to collect the Black Scale Beetle's corpse.
"Indeed."
Chu Yu felt the same, Lin Shu's keenness surprised him.
"I just happened to see it."
"My luck is pretty good; I wasn't mistaken."
Lin Shu's expression remained unchanged, he just looked forward.
Li Wen, however, felt that what the mentor had said before was not an exaggeration.
In fact, Lin Shu's performance and strength even exceeded those statements.
It was truly a pleasant surprise.
The three didn't linger; the sun was about to set.
There wasn't much time left for collection, so they needed to speed up.
Night was not a good time for exploration.
Next, with Lin Shu's help in searching.
They quickly found three more Black Scale Beetles; with a bit more effort tomorrow, they could complete the mission.
This was also the easiest time he had completed it so far.
It was also largely due to Lin Shu; otherwise, with just him and Chu Yu.
Finding even one today would have been considered good luck.
Night gradually enveloped them.
The moonlight appeared, casting soft, dim light.
The three had already exited the Soul Severing Mountain Range.
They arrived at a simply constructed camp.
Inside were many wooden houses.
Scattered haphazardly around.
Some interiors were brightly lit, and on the roads, several students could be seen chatting.
Evidently, these people were like Lin Shu and his companions, adventuring or completing missions inside the Soul Severing Mountain Range during the day.
Because of the large number of people, safety was guaranteed.
Thealien race (foreign races) also didn't dare to ambush; there were so many Beastmasters, they couldn't afford to provoke them.
But inside the Soul Severing Mountain Range, it was completely different; there was always the danger of losing one's life.
Unless one's strength was sufficient, everyone would choose to come to this camp to rest.
"This is the camp, just pick any room."
"We'll rest here for the night and continue tomorrow."
After speaking, he led Lin Shu and Chu Yu inside.
Lin Shu casually chose a wooden house.
He greeted the two and entered it.
Their rooms were on either side, not too far apart.
Entering the interior, the space was dim, so Lin Shu took out a luminous stone.
Immediately, it brightened up; the wooden house was simply furnished.
A large wooden bed, a few stools, and a table.
There were no other items, but the space was quite large, about a hundred square meters.
Lin Shu first arranged food for them, so they could eat their fill.
After a day, energy and stamina consumption were relatively high.
A moment later, the abundant food was devoured.
Black Night and Ziyu looked at Lin Shu with burning gazes, their meaning self-evident.
Earth Splendor, on the other hand, calmly sat cross-legged on the wooden board, quietly waiting.
Lin Shu told the two of them to calm down and immediately checked today's harvest.
(Proficiency: 1225)
A day of hard work yielded good results.
Although it wasn't comparable to the spirit field, the advantage here was stability.
His gaze turned to Black Night, and he spent 800 proficiency points to raise its level to 44.
Currently, Lin Shu's plan was primarily to prioritize Black Night, followed by Earth Splendor, and then Ziyu.
Everyone gets a share, it's just a matter of eating meat or drinking soup.
A faint black glow appeared on Black Night's body, indicating that it had comprehended a skill.
Without hesitation, Lin Shu immediately opened the panel to check.
[Name]: Dark Veil Hunter
[Level]: Lv44 (1/440)
[Level Cap]: Lv100+
[Status]: Healthy
[Quality]: Lord
[Attributes]: Dark / Space
[Talent]: Void Walk - Great Accomplishment (16/800)
[Skills]: Primary — Assault - Subtle (16/200), Fast Movement - Perfect (38/50), Heavy Strike - Beginner (11/20), Sharp Blade (Passive) - Perfect (31/50), Spinning Arm Slash - Subtle (19/200), Space Storage - Minor Accomplishment (15/30), Shadow Ball - Beginner (9/20)

Advanced — Black Night Phantom - Beginner (6/80), Dark Entanglement - Beginner (5/80)
Transcendent — Nights Return to Silence - Beginner (1/160)
[Profound Truth]: Golden Principle - (0.015%)
What a huge surprise; Black Night was quiet until he truly astounded everyone.
Although he didn't comprehend advanced skills during evolution, it turned out he wanted to comprehend a Transcendent skill now.
The subsequent impact of quality was indeed immense.
Black Night comprehended one intermediate and one Transcendent skill.
He was also the first of Lin Shu's Beastmasters to comprehend a Transcendent skill.
Looking at the skill effects, Black Night Protection was a simple defensive skill, with a slight amplification effect at night.
Nights Return to Silence, in contrast, was much more formidable.
This skill could be considered a field skill.
Even among Transcendent skills, it could be considered top-tier.
It could directly transform an area into a nighttime scene.
Within it, dark mist accompanied, which could confuse enemy vision and amplify the caster's strength and speed.
It could be said to be extremely suitable for dark-attributed Beastmasters.
Of course, the covered range and duration were related to the Beastmaster's skill proficiency and level.
The energy consumption required for such a skill was imaginable.
However, comprehending it was a good thing.
Skipping Black Night, he looked at Earth Splendor.
You three, everyone gets a share.
He spent 300 proficiency points, reaching level 35.
Earth Splendor's panel changes haven't been obvious recently.
For future evolution preparations, Lin Shu changed its skill training target to the fist strike.
The remaining 125 points were just enough to upgrade Ziyu to level 28.
Thanks to the purple ball and food.
Otherwise, it would have been a few points short.
This would have made Ziyu quite uncomfortable.
Thus, today's harvest was evenly distributed.
Although Ziyu felt a bit regretful, her own strength increasing was a good thing...
