59: The hunt begins

After a long journey, Shen Xi only took most of the day to reach the Two-Headed Sheep Territory, two hundred li away.

It might not sound like much to cover two hundred li in half a day, but one must remember this was the wilderness, where dangers lurked everywhere.

For Shen Xi to maintain such speed while avoiding dangers was already quite remarkable.

"I can't get any closer!"

Shen Xi stopped, not continuing to approach the Two-Headed Sheep's territory.

He didn't know how many Two-Headed Sheep were in this territory, nor what Realm their strongest members had reached, so he naturally wouldn't approach rashly.

Furthermore, he had killed a Two-Headed Sheep before, and its scent had lingered on him. If he hadn't used a stealth potion to conceal his aura, he would have been discovered long ago.

Even so, the stealth potion wasn't foolproof; if he got any closer, he would still be detected.

Recalling the wilderness survival knowledge taught in class, Shen Xi found a large tree, as thick as three men.

He climbed the tree, observing the Two-Headed Sheep Territory from a vantage point.

He saw five Two-Headed Sheep patrolling near the territory, guarding against invasions from other Yao Beast races in the wilderness.

And this was merely a small squad of this territory.

Vaguely, he could see more Two-Headed Sheep in the center of the territory.

"These beasts!"

Suddenly, Shen Xi couldn't help but curse.

He saw two Two-Headed Sheep eating.

And their food was two humans!

He watched as the two Two-Headed Sheep tore open the humans' bodies, as if tearing chicken legs, and began to chew loudly.

Even though Shen Xi had killed people before, facing this bloody and brutal scene, he felt a wave of nausea.

"It looks like these Two-Headed Sheep are secretly hunting humans for food. They deserve to die!"

Shen Xi was consumed by rage, murderous intent rising within him.

The actions of these Two-Headed Sheep had touched his inverse scale.

As a member of the Human Race, he naturally couldn't stand by and watch these Yao Beasts commit evil deeds.

This solidified Shen Xi's determination to completely wipe out these Two-Headed Sheep this time.

However, Shen Xi still didn't act rashly.

The two humans were already dead, so there was no need to rescue them.

And to completely eradicate these Two-Headed Sheep, he needed to gather more intelligence.

On one hand, he had to ensure he had the strength to kill these Two-Headed Sheep.

On the other hand, he also needed to ensure that no Two-Headed Sheep would escape in the chaos.

Shen Xi remained hidden until nightfall, observing for nearly eight hours, finally determining the exact situation of this territory.

This territory had a total of one hundred and twenty-three Two-Headed Sheep.

Of these, the vast majority were in the Blood Refining Realm, thirty-six were in the Yuanqi Realm, one was in the Yuan Qi Transformation Realm, and two were in the Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi Realm.

"No wonder these Two-Headed Sheep can survive near Zhu Feng City. This strength is indeed not weak. Those in the Outer City would need to spend a lot of time and effort to eradicate this territory, and those in the Inner City wouldn't care about such a small tribe."

"Furthermore, they are very vigilant. If anything seems amiss, they will retreat immediately. Trying to hunt them down in the wilderness is too difficult."

Shen Xi analyzed the current situation and made an accurate judgment.

He finally understood why these Two-Headed Sheep could openly gather near Zhu Feng City.

If they encountered strong opponents, they would scatter and flee. Relying on their understanding of the wilderness, they could easily escape pursuit.

And if the opponent was weak, they weren't even enough to fill the Two-Headed Sheep's teeth.

"While it's dark, I'll take care of some Two-Headed Sheep first."

After speaking, Shen Xi hid in the darkness. To be safe, he drank another bottle of stealth potion.

The hunt began!

Shen Xi used Meteor Step to approach a squad of Two-Headed Sheep.

Upon contact, he instantly killed two Two-Headed Sheep with the force of thunder.

The System's notification sound also rang in his ears.

[Obtained eighty-seven years of demon beast lifespan!]

[Obtained one hundred and one years of demon beast lifespan!]

Shen Xi ignored the System's voice; his eyes were only on the remaining three Two-Headed Sheep of this squad.

He moved again, directly activating Benlei Eight Styles.

Two Two-Headed Sheep, only in the Refining Blood - Great Accomplishment Realm, had no power to resist against Shen Xi, who was going all out. With two punches, he killed two more Two-Headed Sheep.

Only one was left.

And this Two-Headed Sheep finally reacted belatedly, about to warn the other Two-Headed Sheep in the tribe.

"Die!"

Shen Xi let out a low growl, appearing beside the Two-Headed Sheep like a ghost.

He kicked out, exploding the opponent alive.

This Two-Headed Sheep squad was completely wiped out!

They couldn't even let out a warning cry before they died.

The battle ended, and Shen Xi immediately re-hid in the darkness.

He still had to find the next squad of Two-Headed Sheep.

This night was destined to be restless.

The Two-Headed Sheep tribe certainly wouldn't have expected that, while they usually hunted humans at will, this time a human had come alone to hunt them.

Soon, an hour passed.

Shen Xi's body was already covered in blood.

Of course, none of this blood was his; it belonged to the Two-Headed Sheep.

In this hour, he had hunted eight Two-Headed Sheep squads, killing a total of forty Two-Headed Sheep.

If this achievement were to spread, it would surely shock many Martial Artists.

One must know that while the Two-Headed Sheep's strength among Yao Beasts was not particularly strong, it was not weak either, and they were extremely cruel, with much human blood on their hands.

Even Martial Artists in the Yuanqi Realm would get a headache when talking about Two-Headed Sheep. Even a small tribe would require many Martial Artists to attack.

But Shen Xi, by himself, had killed so many Two-Headed Sheep; it was simply incredible.

"Continue!"

Shen Xi muttered to himself.

Even now, his whereabouts had not been exposed.

Each Two-Headed Sheep squad he encountered, he killed cleanly at the fastest speed, giving the opponent no chance to warn others.

The Two-Headed Sheep tribe still didn't know that someone was hunting them, so Shen Xi could continue.

Just as he was thinking, a Two-Headed Sheep squad appeared not far away.

Shen Xi's eyes lit up. He held his breath and approached slowly.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters... Just as he was about to reach attacking distance, this Two-Headed Sheep squad suddenly roared in unison: "Enemy attack!"

The sound was incredibly loud, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the darkness, instantly waking all the Two-Headed Sheep.

"Where is the enemy!"

"The sound came from that direction!"

"Kill the enemy!"

"Everyone prepare. If the enemy is strong, take the opportunity to escape into the wilderness. They won't be able to catch us."
