85: Release evil beasts
Outside!
A group of people felt their teeth ache with envy when they saw the lineup behind Chen Fei.
"Holy crap, I always thought 49 was this guy's limit. Who knew he had another trick up his sleeve?"
"Good lord, anyone who runs into over a hundred Third-level Beasts would cry, right?"
"This is ridiculous. Is this guy addicted to being pay-to-win?"
When Su Shanhai saw these Third-level Beasts, he had an 'as expected' expression on his face.
This is insane!
This little guy is way too good at hiding things; no one can truly force out his trump cards.
I'm afraid even these hundred Third-level Beasts might not be his final trump card.
And this!
Su Shanhai had actually guessed correctly.
49 Third-level Beasts? That was when Little Gu had just raised its strength to Level 3, Rank 1.
Now, Little Gu is at Level 3, Rank 7.
Controlling over a hundred Level 3, Rank 5 or lower Yao Beasts is simply too easy.
Inside the Sacred Codex Space, there is even a group of Level 3, Rank 8 and 9 Yao Beasts that just haven't been released yet.
If Chen Fei wanted to, he could even try his hand at the second-year competition.
Inside the Secret Realm!
Mu Xiang was completely stunned watching this scene.
"Damn, what shitty luck. I ran into a pay-to-win tycoon right after coming out!"
Chen Fei's reputation for being 'pay-to-win' had already spread among the first-year students.
Mu Xiang gave a bitter smile, "Big shot, let's make a deal. I'll give you everything I've gathered, and you let me go, how about it?"
Chen Fei crossed his arms and smiled, "That depends on whether your harvest is worth it."
He was prepared to play the bandit for once!
Opening his spatial ring, Mu Xiang took out a box containing a piece of Purple Frost Jade.
Purple Frost Jade is quite common; it contains some frost power, but not much.
Unless the jade was older and became Purple Frost Jade Marrow, it would be worth at least a million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
"You've been in here for half an hour and all you got was this piece of junk?"
Hearing this, Mu Xiang felt even more bitter, "Big shot, not everyone has your pay-to-win ability!"
Chen Fei instantly lost interest. "Fine, take it back. Now, should I help you leave, or will you leave on your own?"
Mu Xiang raised his hands in surrender. "I'll go myself. I won't trouble you to do it, big shot."
With that, he crushed his token and left.
Chen Fei looked at the dying Armored Bear. "Parasitism!"
It's a Level 3, Rank 5 after all; I'll take it for now.
Then, Wu Yun cast a healing spell on it.
Thus, the people outside witnessed a terrifying scene.
A lively Armored Bear joined Chen Fei's army of Third-level Beasts.
"Holy shit, is it really that simple for him to control a Yao Beast?"
"I finally know where his army of Third-level Beasts came from. He doesn't need to buy them at all; he can just pick them up ready-made."
"Does that mean the Secret Realm has actually become his paradise?"
It wasn't quite a paradise, but it certainly allowed Chen Fei to accumulate slaughter value.
As he swept through like this, the number of people was rapidly decreasing.
921.
845.
633... When only 600 people remained, the City Lord of the Imperial City gave an order, "Shrink the Artificial Secret Realm area to make it easier for them to encounter each other. Also, release the Evil Beasts!"
"Also, release the Evil Beasts!"
These Evil Beasts were all captured alive from various war zones and were being repurposed after research.
Not everyone was like Chen Fei, going to the front lines just a few days after school started.
Most first-year students were still flowers in a greenhouse; it was time for them to see some blood.
Among the first-year students, besides Chen Fei, the other strongest ones were only at Level 3, Rank 4.
This batch of released Evil Beasts was specially selected, with strengths ranging between Level 3, Rank 5 and Level 3, Rank 7.
This forced them to fight with everything they had. If they were careless, they might lose not only their spot in the Lingfu Secret Realm but even their lives... Hua Feng from Nanzhong Academy saw a fruit emitting a red glow from a distance; it was definitely a Spirit Fruit.
He had his beast pet stay on high alert and then began to harvest it.
Just as he touched the red fruit, he was teleported outside the Secret Realm.
Hua Feng was dumbfounded. "It's over already? Have the top 100 been decided?"
The people around him shook their heads and explained, "No, there are still 569 people left. It's just that danger was detected, so your token was crushed for you to teleport you out."
"How could there be danger? I was just about to pick a Spirit Fruit. Where was the danger?" Hua Feng was full of disbelief, feeling like he had missed out on a fortune.
Knowing he wouldn't believe it, someone had saved the footage.
In the footage, as Hua Feng was being teleported out, over a dozen hard tentacles suddenly shot up from the ground.
Like a bear trap, they would snap shut as soon as a trigger point was touched.
If Hua Feng hadn't been teleported out, he would be a pile of shredded meat by now.
Then, a giant monster resembling a common starfish crawled out from underground.
These tentacles were indeed the starfish's tentacles, with suckers on the back, many spikes on the front, and sides as sharp as steel blades.
One could say almost its entire body was a weapon.
Hua Feng saw clearly that the red fruit wasn't a real Spirit Fruit, but rather the monster's tongue, used to lure prey.
And he had actually been standing right over the monster's mouth without knowing it.
In an instant, his back went cold, and cold sweat poured down his forehead; he couldn't say another word of protest.
He was just thankful to be alive!
The one Hua Feng encountered was the Hunting Sand King Star, one of the Evil Beasts from the Third Sector.
Shangguan Hongyu from Shushan Academy encountered a Bamboo Ghost, one of the Evil Beasts from the Sixth Sector.
It could transform into a bamboo forest and launch fierce attacks when someone entered.
Its bamboo wasn't ordinary bamboo but a type of Mutated Bamboo.
It could lengthen or shorten, be as hard as metal or stone, or as soft as silk.
Those thousands of bamboo stalks could become weapons at the same time; it was truly terrifying.
Even though Shangguan Hongyu had a Tank-type Yao Beast, he couldn't block such an attack and finally had no choice but to crush his token.
In this way, people either noticed something was wrong and fled immediately, or they were forced out of the Secret Realm by Evil Beasts, causing the number of participants to dwindle significantly.
Only a handful of people could face the Evil Beasts head-on.
It also allowed those who had never been to the battlefield to experience the horror of Evil Beasts so directly for the first time; they had almost no power to resist... On the other side!
Chen Fei was harvesting a batch of profound spirit grass when he suddenly felt the ground tremble; he quickly stood up and jumped onto a tree as fast as he could.
In the next second, a humanoid monster with four arms and four legs burrowed out from the area where Chen Fei had just been...
