699: Monster? No, it's the experience baby!

“No!”

After Night Feather’s strike landed, he was about to call for his younger brother, Night Ning, to act, when a sudden ominous feeling arose in his heart.

He realized that the sensation of his dagger piercing was wrong.

“So ugly!”

Just then, a playful voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

The human he attacked turned his head, looking over with a playful gaze.

“You…”

The antennae on Night Feather’s head straightened, his body abruptly retreated ten meters away, and his expression was one of extreme terror.

At this moment, he discovered that where his dagger had pierced, it had only cut through the clothing, not even breaking the human’s skin.

How was that possible?

Even a Rank 6 human martial artist specializing in Physical Body training couldn’t have such powerful Physical Body defense!

Night Feather thought in disbelief, suddenly feeling that he had probably chosen the wrong prey today.

He immediately wanted to inform his two brothers to retreat, but the human’s calm gaze, which contained an extremely strong sense of oppression, made him not dare to make the slightest rash move.

Opposite.

“Tsk… So Dead Spirits are this ugly?”

Wang Chen looked at the Dead Spirit Night Feather opposite him, his expression very subtle.

This guy felt like a large insect that hadn’t fully transformed successfully; in other words, he was incredibly ugly!

However, the opponent’s ability was very peculiar; there was no warning before he attacked, only revealing his Qi and figure at the moment he struck.

“Naturally possessing powerful stealth abilities?”

“And while in stealth, even with my current strength, I can’t detect them. These Dead Spirits are quite something!”

Seeing two more half-human, half-insect figures appear beside the Dead Spirit Night Feather opposite him, Wang Chen’s eyebrows involuntarily twitched, and he secretly became vigilant.

This ability could almost be called that of a natural predator!

No wonder the Netheworld’s night was a forbidden zone for humans, with only extremely powerful cultivators daring to enter.

With these Dead Spirits’ stealth ability, under equivalent Rank conditions, it was estimated that no human in the Netherworld could escape their assassination.

“Human, did you intentionally lure us out?”

The appearance of his two brothers beside him significantly dispelled the fear in Night Feather’s heart, and at the same time, he keenly noticed the abnormality of the human opposite him.

This human showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever!

“Damn it!”

“This is a trap, Night Ning, Night Cloud, hurry and leave, I’ll cover your retreat.”

Upon discovering this situation, Night Feather tightly gripped his dagger, let out a low growl to his brothers beside him, and stared at Wang Chen with extreme vigilance.

This human dared to intentionally lure them out, and his previous attack had not caused any harm to him. Night Feather was very clear that this human’s strength was absolutely not something the three of them could contend with.

“Big brother, we’re not leaving.”

Night Ning and Night Cloud, hearing this, both took out their weapons and stood beside Night Feather.

“Truly touching camaraderie.”

Wang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle at this scene, his eyes very strange.

If one ignored their ugly half-human, half-insect appearance and the deathly aura emanating from them, this scene would make him seem like a great Devil Head bullying the weak.

“But none of you are leaving today.”

Suppressing the sense of incongruity in his heart, Wang Chen took a step, appearing directly in front of the three Dead Spirits.

He waved one hand, and surging energy shot out, enveloping an area of ten meters, forming a cage that trapped the three Dead Spirits in place, preventing them from turning invisible and escaping.

“It’s over!”

“This is a human Rank 8 Demigod. Damn it, what does such a strong person want to do by coming to the Demon Beast Forest at night?”

Feeling the turbulent energy around their bodies, the faces of the three Dead Spirits instantly turned incredibly ugly, and fear simultaneously appeared in their eyes.

They never expected that a human Demigod would be so despicable, disguising himself as injured to lure them into attacking.

“What does this guy want to do by entering the Demon Beast Forest at night?”

“There’s nothing in the entire Demon Beast Forest that would attract such a strong person. Could it be…”

“He’s here for the Netherworld Crystal discovered in the town?”

“No, this news is known by only a few people. How could this human know about it?”

Night Feather was racking his brain, guessing the intention of this human appearing in the Demon Beast Forest, when suddenly, his pupils trembled, and he thought of a possibility.

Netherworld Crystal.

It was a treasure formed from pure Dead Spirit energy.

For the Dead Spirit Race, it had the powerful effects of purifying Bloodline and increasing strength.

Dead Spirits below Rank 9, upon consumption, could directly raise their strength by one major Rank, and break through the Bloodline barrier caused by the Mother Goddess’s blessing during the coming-of-age ceremony.

And for humans, this Netherworld Crystal, purely condensed from Dead Spirit energy, also had infinite wondrous uses. It could absorb dormant Dead Spirit energy within the human body, an effect a hundred times more powerful than using flawless crystals for cleansing.

As long as one kept a Netherworld Crystal close, they would no longer need to worry about being eroded by Dead Spirit energy, and walking in the wild at night, they would also be immune to the restraints caused by the Dead Spirit energy covering the world.

Night Feather guessed that this human in front of him was very likely here for the Netherworld Crystal.

Although he didn’t know how the news had leaked, the fact that the opponent didn’t immediately kill them made him even more certain of his guess.

The opponent trapping his three brothers was definitely to force them to reveal clues about the Netherworld Crystal.

However…

Just as Night Feather was thinking this, a scream suddenly sounded in his ear.

Night Cloud, beside him, had a bloodied hole in his head, and his body softly collapsed to the ground.

“You…”

The sudden turn of events completely bewildered Night Feather.

Killing without even asking questions, are humans this brutal now?

He had no idea that Wang Chen’s target was not some Netherworld Crystal; from the very beginning, it was the three of them.

At this moment.

After killing one Dead Spirit, Wang Chen’s expression became quite subtle.

Too much!

The amount of experience points provided by this Dead Spirit was so vast that even with his seasoned mindset, he couldn’t help but be moved.

This Dead Spirit he killed was only Rank 4, equivalent to a level 110 or so wild Demonic Beast on Blue Star, but the experience points it provided were equivalent to a level 140 or so wild Demonic Beast.

Directly, a major Rank increase, with the quantity increasing by nearly ten times.

In an instant, Wang Chen looked at the two Dead Spirits opposite him with fiery eyes.

The two ugly half-human, half-insect Dead Spirits became increasingly pleasing to his eyes.

Monsters? No, these were adorable experience babies!

“Human…”

Being stared at by Wang Chen’s gaze, Night Feather and Night Ning felt their hair stand on end, and their bodies trembled with fear.

They actually saw greed and excitement in this human’s eyes.
