56: Ranked first, head to Luyou Forest

“Is he trying to lure spirit beasts with the scent?”

“How daring!”

“What if he attracts dozens or hundreds of them?”

The principals were stunned by this scene.

Eating lunch and earning points at the same time?

“This little guy is very confident!”

Luo Hong’s mouth curved upwards, and he tapped his finger on the table.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

… …

“They’re here!”

At this moment, through some obstacles, Guo Feng’s vision had already picked up several red dots.

And they were getting closer to the crew.

His eyes lit up, “Old Qin, with our vehicle as the center line, I’ll take care of the left side, and you take care of the right side. If you can’t handle it, just shout!”

“Alright!”

Qin Hao nodded quickly.

Swish—

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Feng had already rushed out.

With a few flashes, he had already arrived on a slope. Looking down, a dozen spirit beasts were approaching, baring their fangs and claws.

“Tier 3, Tier 4, Tier 5, not bad!”

Guo Feng stood with his blade. These combat goggles could even roughly determine the opponent’s level through wavelengths.

His current physical strength was 221, infinitely close to Tier 10.

Even though the spirit beasts below were huge and fierce, he didn’t take them to heart.

Swish—

He pushed off with his foot, and shot out like an arrow, swinging his blade to start slicing.

His speed was astonishing.

Blade up, blade down.

These spirit beasts were quickly decapitated.

He didn’t care for the corpses of spirit beasts below Tier 8, so he only collected their heads.

He would let Liu Qiang extract the beast cores later, then discard the rest.

Before long, the crew had slain a dozen spirit beasts.

Corpses littered the ground!

“I wonder how the meat of this Tier 5 wild ox tastes compared to steak from the supermarket?”

“Wolf meat is out, and hyena is even more out.”

“This Lingxi Deer, hmm, forget it, no need for the whip either, they’re all full of vitality!”

As Guo Feng thought, he cut off a piece of a half-human-tall wild ox leg and hoisted it onto his shoulder.

Soon, he returned to the camp.

After a while, Qin Hao also returned.

He had a bag in his hand, containing a dozen beast cores.

Guo Feng looked clean, but Qin Hao was covered in blood, looking quite menacing.

“Old Guo, you keep these for now.”

Qin Hao tossed them over.

Guo Feng raised an eyebrow: “You, a user of flying swords, need to look so violent?”

“Is everyone like you?”

Qin Hao said grumpily.

He was a Tier 6 cultivator facing over a dozen Tier 4 and Tier 5 spirit beasts.

It was already good enough that he could win.

“That’s true, I’m quite powerful, and you can’t learn it.”

Guo Feng waved his hand, and a small tent stood beside him.

There was a water pump, a large bucket of water, and a simple stand-up shower.

He said, “Go wash up and change your clothes.”

After speaking, he threw a set of athletic clothes to Qin Hao.

“Oh my god, Old Guo, I love you to death!”

Qin Hao was covered in blood, sticky and uncomfortable.

How could he not be happy seeing this set of equipment?

With that, he happily went to shower and change.

Guo Feng threw the Tier 5 wild ox leg beside Liu Qiang: “Old Liu, roast some of this wild ox leg. If it’s good, we’ll eat this from now on.”

“Got it!”

Liu Qiang was overjoyed and immediately got to work.

Soon, the aroma of meat filled the air!

“Holy crap, this is too extravagant! Tier 5 spirit beast meat, everywhere, directly roasted to eat! This one chunk of wild ox leg alone must be worth tens of thousands!”

Wu Zhen drooled while gnawing on a compressed biscuit.

He had the good fortune to eat spirit beast meat before.

It was truly delicious!

Unfortunately, first, they were in the wild and lacked proper equipment.

Second, their tasks were heavy; how could they have such leisure time?

“Delicious, delicious! From now on, we won’t buy meat anymore!”

Before long, Guo Feng set up a plate on a dining table, took out knives, forks, and chopsticks, and began to eat very elegantly.

They even poured a glass of red wine for everyone.

Luo Juan even placed a napkin on her lap.

“Damn… are they taking an exam?”

“We only have convenience food in Qingcheng, right?”

“Space-type ability, truly amazing!”

On Luo Hong’s side, Guo Feng’s crew’s screen had been locked on, and most people were looking at them.

Seeing this scene, the principals gnashed their teeth.

At this moment, on one of the screens displaying the points leaderboard, the real-time points had already appeared.

Ranked first was Guo Feng, with 120 points.

Ranked second was Qi Zi Mou, with 80 points.

Ranked third was Guo Sheng, with 58 points.

… …

“Alright, we’re done tidying up. Let’s look at the map!”

After a hearty meal, Guo Feng’s crew tidied up the mess and pulled out two maps.

One map was from the manual given by the instructor.

The other was given by the general store owner.

They compared them for a moment.

“The Tier 8 Lingxi Deer is closest to us, and there’s also a safe camp there, which we can go to tonight.”

“After that, we’ll head northeast to hunt the Tier 9 Water Spirit Rhinoceros, and finally go to the easternmost point to mine obsidian.”

“This route is very long, and we should encounter many spirit beasts, so getting first place should be no problem.”

“If all else fails, we’ll block them on the essential path back to the city then!”

After discussing with the crew, Guo Feng made a plan and then asked, “Who is in favor, who is against?”

“I have no objections.”

Qin Hao and the others answered simultaneously.

“Good!”

Guo Feng nodded, jumped directly into the vehicle, and set the tactical drone swarm to automatic follow mode.

With the help of this, they would hunt any spirit beasts they encountered along the way.

The further they went, the more remote the location became.

Along the way, they did slay many spirit beasts and obtained a large number of beast cores.

However, they clearly noticed that the level of the surrounding spirit beasts was getting higher and higher.

Later on, they were all Tier 6 or 7.

When more than a dozen appeared together, Qin Hao, Luo Juan, and Liu Qiang dared not make a move casually.

“These little guys are going deeper and deeper, almost reaching the second circle. If they go further, it’s Deer Howl Forest, and the overlord inside is Tier 10!”

“It should be for the Lingxi Deer. I heard that the people from Lingjie Town are collecting them.”

“Keep up closely!”

Wu Zhen and another assistant examiner quickly followed, talking as they walked.

They secretly sighed at how bold these few guys were.

Around two o’clock.

Guo Feng’s crew stopped. The plains had ended, and ahead was a dense forest.

The forest was vast and somewhat eerie.

“Alright, the vehicle is temporarily useless. We’ll have to walk!”

Guo Feng and the others got out of the vehicle, all taking up their weapons.

Guo Feng waved his hand and stored the vehicle in his spatial storage.

He glanced at the dense forest and said, “It might be a bit dangerous next.”

“Old Liu, you’re in front. If there’s a situation, transform and hold them off.”

“Xiao Juan Juan, Old Qin, you two are in the middle, walking side by side, forming a triangle with Old Liu!”

He paused, “And I will support you at any time!”

“Alright!”

Everyone was very convinced by Guo Feng’s arrangement.

After agreeing, they immediately changed their formation.

In this forest, even the tactical drone swarm was affected and had to be put away.

The magnetic field here was somewhat special.

Guo Feng even held his battle blade, extremely vigilant.

Along the way, they had witnessed the ferocity of spirit beasts. If their strength was weak, people would truly die.

He didn’t want anyone in his crew to be harmed.

Immediately, they stepped into the forest…
