104: Monster Squad Adjustments

Why is he so strong?

This Seven-Poisonous Snakes couldn't understand why Shen Xi was so powerful, even as it died.

The opponent was clearly only at the Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi Realm, yet the pressure he exerted was comparable to that of the Seven Venom Snake Leader.

One must know, the Leader was at the Major Completion of Houtian Realm!

Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi on par with Late Stage Houtian?

Are there really such people?

Thinking of this, the Seven-Poisonous Snakes felt a chill run down its spine.

However, no matter how much fear it felt, it was already meaningless.

It was already dead.

"After the increase in combat power, the hunting efficiency has significantly improved."

Shen Xi did not linger in battle; after annihilating this small team, he turned and left the area.

Not long after Shen Xi left, at least five small teams arrived.

However, by then, Shen Xi had long since vanished.

"Damn it, it's this guy again!"

The five arriving small teams couldn't help but curse loudly.

This was already the tenth hunt in this period.

And it was also the most serious one.

Previously, when Shen Xi acted, he would more or less leave a few survivors; after all, time was too tight, and he simply didn't have enough time to annihilate an entire small team.

But this time, not a single survivor was left.

What did this mean?

It indicated that the opponent's strength had very likely increased again.

Otherwise, his actions wouldn't be so decisive and clean.

"We must report this matter to the higher-ups and tell them that the Human kid who has repeatedly hunted us, his strength has very likely undergone a Breakthrough."

A small team leader said with a grim face.

He felt a deep sense of unease.

A small team of ten Yao Beasts, all at least at the Yuánqì Realm.

Yet, in the end, they couldn't even hold Shen Xi for a minute.

This disparity in strength was simply horrifying.

Most importantly, this was a Seven-Poisonous Snakes small team.

One must know, due to the seven different toxins contained within their bodies, the Seven-Poisonous Snakes has always been one of the most troublesome races among Yao Beasts.

Among them, the most well-known to Yao Beasts is an airborne toxin that can paralyze nerves.

This toxin, upon inhalation, can paralyze the enemy's nerves, affecting their movement speed and reaction speed, thereby weakening a portion of their combat power.

But even so, a team of ten Seven-Poisonous Snakess still couldn't hold the enemy for a minute; this was simply terrifying.

If even a Seven-Poisonous Snakes small team couldn't hold out for ten minutes, then what about them? Wouldn't they be doomed to die?

"We must let the higher-ups know that the number of members in each small team must be increased to at least twenty, and furthermore, there must be one Houtian Realm expert stationed to ensure that no more accidents occur."

Another small team leader suggested.

From the current situation, it was no longer possible for a ten-Yao Beast small team to withstand Shen Xi's attack; the only solution was to increase manpower.

Moreover, if each Yao Beast small team had a Houtian Realm expert stationed, even if they weren't Shen Xi's match, at the very least, self-preservation wouldn't be an issue.

"Alas! Why haven't they attacked the Twenty-eighth City yet? Now we can only passively take a beating; it's truly too frustrating."

Yet another Yao Beast small team leader gritted his teeth.

They naturally didn't know the situation with the higher-ups, only feeling frustrated.

They had surrounded the Twenty-eighth City for some time now, but they had been enduring and had not yet formed a beast tide, which they didn't understand.

Previously, one could say they were waiting for more Yao Beasts to gather.

But now that the Yao Beasts had mostly gathered, why hadn't the beast tide erupted yet?

"Alright! No more unnecessary talk; let's immediately report what happened here to the higher-ups and let them make the decision."

"How about this, I'll go report the situation to the leader, and as for you all, notify the other small teams of our findings to ensure that similar situations don't occur again. The beast tide is about to erupt; we cannot have internal strife. Don't forget, our target is those humans in the Twenty-eighth City; this will be a grand feast!"

With that, the five small team leaders separated.

As initially agreed, one small team leader went to report his findings, while the other four small team leaders went to notify the other small teams.

They could not afford to lose any more Yao Beasts!

This was a disgrace and would shake morale... Soon, a day passed.

Shen Xi had a bit of a headache.

These Yao Beasts had become smarter.

Now, these Yao Beasts had formed into small teams of twenty, which significantly increased the difficulty of his actions.

Of course, if it were merely twenty Yao Beasts per small team, it wouldn't be a particularly difficult matter for Shen Xi.

But the crucial point was that these small teams all had Houtian Realm experts stationed.

Even with Shen Xi's current combat power, it would be impossible to easily kill the opponent and successfully escape while simultaneously facing nineteen Yuánqì Realm and one Houtian Realm Yao Beasts.

One must know, if the opponent disregarded everything and simply held him back, holding him for one or two minutes would absolutely be no problem.

And this one or two minutes would be enough for other Yao Beast small teams to provide support, at which point Shen Xi would be devoured by an endless stream of Yao Beasts, ultimately dying without a burial place.

Not only that, the spacing between Yao Beast small teams had significantly decreased.

If, before, the support speed of Yao Beast small teams was about one minute, now, their support speed had been shortened to forty-five seconds.

Don't underestimate the difference of just fifteen seconds, but these fifteen seconds could potentially determine life or death.

The increase in strength of each small team, the faster support speed, all these changes made it difficult for Shen Xi to act.

"Could it be that I can only give up? Wait for the beast tide to erupt before earning demon beast lifespan?"

Shen Xi frowned, a bit unwilling.

He didn't want to give up just like that.

These Yao Beasts, to him, were a Treasure Trove!

These were all demon beast lifespan, the foundation for Shen Xi to improve his strength... On the other side.

The Seven Venom Snake Leader also couldn't help but frown.

"This won't do! Now that the strength of each Yao Beast small team has increased so much, that kid hasn't acted for almost a day!"

The Seven Venom Snake Leader harbored a deep hatred for Shen Xi, wishing he could flay his skin and drink his blood.

Because of this, he had voluntarily moved from the core of the beast tide to the edge, to the location where Shen Xi frequently appeared, solely to personally kill this Human kid who didn't know his place.

But what he didn't expect was that because Shen Xi had annihilated a Yao Beast small team within a minute, the number of Yao Beast small teams here had increased from ten to twenty, and they also had Houtian Realm experts stationed.

Wouldn't this scare Shen Xi away?

Then how could he kill the opponent, vent his anger, and avenge his subordinates?
