252: Drive out the wolf and swallow the tiger

This made Shen Xi's expression extremely ugly.

It turned out that most of the Blood Rust on the surface of the broken sword had completely decayed, and no power remained.

These Blood Rusts were worthless and could not become Shen Xi's life-saving means; they would disappear with a gust of wind.

“Wicked System, f*ck you, return the demon beast lifespan!”

Shen Xi couldn't help but curse.

He seriously suspected that the System was doing this on purpose.

The other party clearly knew his purpose, but the Blood Rust stripped off was all actual trash.

“Host, you've wronged me. I also cannot determine if the Blood Rust still retains power. This broken sword is particularly mysterious, and the Qi contained within it even affects my perception. All I can do is strip off the Blood Rust and remove the Seal!”

Hearing this, Shen Xi was a little shocked.

Ever since he activated the System, the System had always given him the feeling of being omniscient and omnipotent; it could be said that there was nothing it couldn't do.

But the broken sword could actually affect the broken sword's perception, which was simply incredible.

“To be precise, I am currently only an Elementary System. Many functions are not yet complete. I need the Host's strength to improve before I can further advance. Please continue to work hard, Host!”

The System continued to explain.

Only then did Shen Xi understand the relationship between himself and the System.

He and the System were not in a parasitic relationship, nor was it as simple as him relying on the System to grow.

To be precise, the two had a symbiotic relationship.

Shen Xi obtained demon beast lifespan, thereby using the System's power to improve, and the System would also unlock more functions and become more Advanced as Shen Xi grew.

No wonder the System was like a silent gourd before, only mechanically completing Shen Xi's commands, but now it had a touch of humanity, even able to joke around with Shen Xi.

These were all manifestations of the System's subtle improvements.

“One more time, and I'm done!”

Shen Xi gritted his teeth and spoke again.

His mood was a little excited.

This was like opening a blind box; no one knew what the next blind box would contain.

Perhaps it was useless Blood Rust, or perhaps it was a life-saving trump card—it was all an unknown.

“Ding! Consumed ten thousand years of demon beast lifespan, obtained one Fetus Transformation Realm Blood Rust.”

He won the gamble!

Finally, it wasn't useless Blood Rust.

A brilliant smile appeared at the corner of Shen Xi's mouth.

In the palm of his hand, another Blood Rust appeared. Although it looked unremarkable, it contained an unimaginable power.

The power of the Fetus Transformation Realm!

This also made Shen Xi secretly click his tongue again. What kind of enemy did the owner of the broken sword kill, that after millions of years, the power of the Fetus Transformation Realm could still remain?

“This Blood Rust is definitely not as good as the one I used before. The power of that one was at least at the Nirvana Realm, and it was actually used on an Innate Transformation of Strength Yao Beast. It was really overkill.”

Shen Xi said with some regret.

But soon, he let go of these negative emotions.

Given the situation at the time, he had to use the Blood Rust, otherwise he would have to use Little Doll's one chance to strike.

Compared to the Blood Rust, Little Doll's chance to strike was obviously more precious.

After all, Shen Xi could completely let Little Doll help him clear this Sealed Land, which would also count as one strike.

And the Blood Rust was somewhat similar to a forbidden weapon, only usable once.

What's more, Little Doll's strength must surpass the Martial Dao Five Realms.

Shen Xi knew the priorities as clearly as a mirror.

Here, Shen Xi and the System were bickering in their minds, while openly, he was still searching for traces of Yao Beasts with his companions, continuing the hunt.

On the other side, Ling Feng had already arrived near Shen Xi and his group.

He lurked, secretly observing Shen Xi's every move to gather useful intelligence.

“This won't do. If these humans are allowed to slowly devour my subordinates, the hundreds of thousands of Yao Beasts in the Sealed Land will eventually be completely wiped out, and I won't be able to force them to use their life-saving means, which would make it difficult to act.”

“Hmm... I need to find a way to force them to use all their life-saving means.”

Ling Feng's eyes darted around, and he quickly made a decision.

Then, he quietly left again... Not long after.

Ling Feng appeared at the habitat of a Yao Beast Head.

“Who goes there!”

“Lord Ling Feng, it's you!”

The Yao Beast Head was very alert. He quickly sensed someone arriving and roared.

However, upon seeing that it was Ling Feng, he immediately said respectfully.

“Good alertness!”

Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Don't think that because these Yao Beasts are Sealed and there are no humans around on weekdays, they are safe and sound.

Those Sealed here are all the most bloodthirsty and violent Yao Beasts.

For survival, for food, Yao Beasts of different races would also attack each other.

Even among some Demon Beast Leaders, there were personal grudges.

Now, it was only because Shen Xi and his group had trespassed into the Sealed Land, and they were the most precious human blood food that these Yao Beasts desired to improve their combat strength, that these Demon Beast Leaders temporarily put aside their grudges and joined forces against Shen Xi and them.

But even though it was strictly forbidden to attack each other during this period, these Yao Beasts still remained vigilant.

In this day and age, verbal agreements are the most useless.

Once there is profit, the agreement will be torn up at any time.

Without going far, just now, if Shen Xi and his group were killed, in order to divide the blood food, those Demon Beast Leaders would certainly break out into a big battle.

“Leader, are you looking for me for something?”

The Windrunner Beast Head bowed and scraped.

He was of the same race as Ling Feng.

“Hmm! Find a way to spread the word that the traces of those humans have been found, and let other races go to encircle and suppress them.”

Ling Feng instructed, deliberately emphasizing “other races.”

Now that Shen Xi and his group still had life-saving trump cards, no matter which race went to encircle and suppress them, they would suffer heavy casualties, so he naturally wouldn't let his own clan go to die in vain.

“Leader wants to use other races as cannon fodder to weaken the power of that group of humans?”

The Head quickly reacted and understood Ling Feng's meaning.

Then, he grinned and said, “This is very simple. Recently, those humans have been wandering in the Southwest Area, which is the territory of the Flame Demon. It is said that those humans have killed many Yao Beasts, either Flame Demons or some races attached to the Flame Demon.”

“Presumably, the Flame Demon must hate that group of humans to the bone. As long as the news is passed to them, they will definitely encircle and suppress these humans at all costs.”

“At that time, we can watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits.”

Flame Demon?

Ling Feng's mouth curved upwards; this was a good choice.
