85: Chapter 85 Frenzied Hunt

"The Secret Realm is just this dangerous!"

"Unexpected exotic beasts could appear at any moment!"

"We must be vigilant at all times, otherwise one slip-up and we could be wiped out!"

"Every year, hundreds, if not a thousand, Martial Artists die within the Secret Realm!"

"The path of a Martial Artist is just like this; everyone wants to become supreme, but the vast majority fall halfway there!"

In Secret Realm M78, a hunting squad had just killed a dozen or so Gale Terror Wolves. One tall Martial Artist warned the others.

"Hmm!"

"This time, thanks to Senior Wang leading us, we wouldn't have dared to come here on our own!"

"Senior Wang is truly one of the Third-Tier Martial Artists. Those dozen Gale Terror Wolves just now were all over level 20. Senior Wang held off eight or nine of them by himself, allowing us to survive without incident. Otherwise, relying only on ourselves, we would have long since become food for the Gale Terror Wolves!"

"Senior Wang is a Genius with an A-grade Supernatural Ability; how could we possibly compare to him?"

"When Senior Wang released that gravity field just now, those Gale Terror Wolves couldn't even walk!"

"Senior Wang, shall we continue moving forward?"

Everyone showered Senior Wang with flattery, and Senior Wang enjoyed it immensely.

"Let's continue to look further ahead!"

Senior Wang thought for a moment and said, "The harvest from this trip hasn't been much yet; we have to hunt a few more!"

"Everyone perk up; the further in we go, the more dangerous it gets!"

"Yes!" Everyone roused their spirits and followed Senior Wang as they continued deeper inside.

They hadn't gone far when Senior Wang suddenly waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

"What's wrong?"

"Senior Wang?"

Senior Wang's expression was serious as he said, "There's the smell of blood ahead; a battle must have just occurred!"

"Everyone be careful; the exotic beast might still be there!"

Everyone immediately became tense and gripped their weapons tightly.

Senior Wang cautiously crept forward. After turning past a thicket, he discovered that on an open space ahead, seventeen or eighteen exotic beast corpses were lying scattered about.

"Did Martial Artists hunt these exotic beasts?"

Senior Wang was stunned.

"Then why weren't the exotic beast corpses taken away?"

Senior Wang emerged from behind the thicket and came before these exotic beasts to perform an inspection, then discovered that all the valuable Materials on their bodies had been taken.

"Is it a powerful hunting squad?"

"What a grand gesture, taking only the most valuable Materials of the exotic beasts and leaving the rest behind."

Senior Wang observed the wounds on these exotic beasts and the signs of fighting in the surroundings, and was soon astonished.

"It wasn't a hunting squad; it was one person!"

"These exotic beasts all died from a single blade strike!"

"It's a powerhouse hunting exotic beasts!"

"Hiss!"

"Looking at this scene where they were all killed in one strike, this powerhouse is at least Fourth-Tier!"

"Senior Wang, there are still quite a few valuable Materials on these exotic beasts; can we dig them out and take them?"

Some students asked excitedly.

This was equivalent to picking them up for free, and they could sell them for a good amount of money back home.

"Yes!"

Senior Wang nodded. "This powerhouse has already taken the most valuable Materials; the rest are discarded!"

"We're lucky; if we pick up some, we can sell them for a lot of money when we go back!"

Thus, everyone busily began harvesting the valuable Materials from the exotic beast corpses.

After finishing the harvest, they continued their adventure forward.

Not long after, they saw another batch of killed exotic beasts, again with only the most valuable Materials taken and everything else left behind.

They immediately became excited.

Meeting a big shot is great; we can scavenge to our heart's content!

They walked forward all the way, constantly scavenging, filling their pockets to the brim. By the end, they couldn't carry any more and had to strap them onto their backs.

"Hiss!"

"What level of big shot is this?"

"The speed of hunting exotic beasts is this fast?"

"Among them, there are quite a few level 30 exotic beasts!"

"Even a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist wouldn't be this fierce, right?"

They originally wanted to hunt some exotic beasts themselves, but discovered they couldn't find any at all.

All the exotic beasts had been killed by that big shot.

"We really can't carry any more, Senior Wang; let's go back!"

Someone said at this moment.

Senior Wang nodded upon hearing this and said, "I originally wanted to pay my respects to that big shot's demeanor!"

"But it is indeed getting late!"

"Let's go back!"

The group started walking back the way they came.

They hadn't gone far when they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the thickets.

They immediately became alert, drew their weapons, and prepared for battle.

After a while, they saw a young man carrying a huge bundle walking out from inside.

This young man looked even younger than them, seemingly just a freshman in college.

The young man had a crew cut, his skin was fair and rosy like a baby's, and his face was extremely handsome, making the girls among them blush uncontrollably when they saw him.

The young man saw them and waved to greet them. "Are you guys also a squad here to hunt?"

"Nice haul!"

"Yes!" Senior Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other person was just one individual, and a young man who looked like only a freshman.

"Little brother, did you come here by yourself?"

"What are you carrying on your back?"

"Why is there so much?"

"Oh!"

The young man smiled and said, "I hunted quite a few exotic beasts today, and my spatial ring couldn't hold them, so I had to carry them!"

"What?"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide open.

"These are all exotic beast Materials you hunted?"

"You hunted all of this by yourself?"

"Yeah!" the young man said with a smile. "I was lucky today; I encountered a lot of exotic beasts!"

After saying this, the young man prepared to leave.

At this moment, one of the girls among them suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that the horn of an Iron-Horned Rhinoceros he's carrying?"

"We also encountered an Iron-Horned Rhinoceros earlier; its horn had been taken, and everything else was left behind!"

"Could he be the expert who has been hunting all along the way?"

"No way, how old is he? He looks even younger than us!"

"How could one person hunt so many powerful exotic beasts?"

"Even Senior Wang couldn't hunt so many by himself!"

"But what he is carrying on his back is indeed the most valuable Materials from those exotic beasts!"

"Perhaps someone else hunted them, and he's just scavenging?"

"Who would hunt and leave all the most valuable things behind?"

"Unless they hunted them themselves!"

"But how is that possible? Look at how young he is!"

"Even if his strength is a bit higher, at most he'd be level twenty; how could he possibly hunt so many powerful exotic beasts alone?"

Just at this moment, suddenly, a furious roar of an exotic beast rang out.

A whirlwind swept through, and all the trees in a section of the forest were torn to shreds.
