277: Section 277

Therefore, Lin Yi's words brought them all to a consensus.

Once they left this place, only by desperately Cultivating and continuously improving their Realm could they stand out in Xingwu University.

Otherwise, they would be drowned out by batch after batch of local students.

Or even one day in the future, they might die miserably within this [Prison City] due to insufficient Realm.

After resting for over ten minutes, their physical strength had gradually recovered.

Lin Yi gazed into the deeper parts of the forest with profound eyes.

"Let's go, we still need three more Yao Beasts!"

"Let's go, finish the mission early, and get back to sleep early. Old Zhou, how are you? Can you walk on your own?"

Wei Nan approached Zhou Qi.

After ten minutes of rest, Zhou Qi looked like he was no longer in any serious trouble.

It even seemed like the wounds on his body were slowly healing.

"No problem, I can walk freely!"

Wei Nan nodded with a smile, and the group followed in Lin Yi's footsteps, continuing deeper into the forest.

Boom—

At the edge of the forest, a 2-star Yao Beast didn't even have a chance to resist before being killed by a single punch from Wei Shang.

The wristband immediately displayed the words 'Mission Completed'.

However, Wei Shang didn't even glance at it, looking up towards the inside of the forest.

"It seems they've been gone for a while. Although I haven't seen any traces of fighting along the way, my intuition tells me they are in this forest!"

Feng Lei glanced back at him.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and catch up to them. Don't wait until something actually happens, or we won't be able to answer to Old He!"

"Right!" Wei Shang nodded slightly.

The next moment, the two of them sped towards the forest at an extremely fast pace.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from where they stood.

Not long after they left, a Black-robed Man walked out from behind a tree.

His robe was somewhat tattered, and the brim of his hood covered half of his face.

His gaze was fixed on the direction Wei Shang and Feng Lei had just left in.

After a long while, a hoarse voice came out.

"People from the Martial Suppression Bureau... why have they come to Prison City?"

Chapter 215: Can't hold back anymore

Pfft... Another 2-star Yao Beast was slain.

Lin Yi turned back to look at Shen Mengyi.

"Is the mission completed?"

"Mm-hmm, the mission is completed. Thank you, Senior Brother Lin!"

Shen Mengyi looked at her wristband, a smile appearing on her face.

"We still need two more Yao Beasts. Let's finish the mission before dawn. It's good that this place is divided into zones. Wei Shang mentioned before that the Yao Beasts in Zones 1-3 are all no higher than 3 stars. This kind of division is actually beneficial for us students who just enrolled!"

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth curled up, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Qi and Sun Tao and the others didn't notice anything unusual.

However, Wei Nan, being his childhood friend, noticed something.

He leaned in close to Lin Yi and whispered, "What's up? Addicted to killing?"

Lin Yi glanced at him and nodded with a smile.

"Maybe a little. Perhaps it's because I haven't done any Monster Hunting for too long!"

"Pfft... Fine. After we help them finish their mission later, let them go back first. I'll accompany you to hunt Yao Beasts here? Don't worry, I won't hold you back!"

Wei Nan said with a light laugh. Hearing this, Lin Yi did not refuse.

Having been friends with Wei Nan for so many years, how could he not understand his little intentions?

In fact, since entering Prison City tonight, Wei Nan's mood had gradually become heavy.

And Lin Yi could guess his thoughts pretty accurately.

Nowadays, Lin Yi was leagues ahead of Wei Nan in both Realm and combat experience.

Although Wei Nan was usually carefree and always said he wanted to cling to Lin Yi's coattails.

But the pride in his heart didn't allow him to do so.

Even if he were to cling to someone, the gap couldn't be too large.

Coming to Prison City tonight, it was entirely Lin Yi doing the Monster Hunting.

Every one of them could only hide behind, unable to help at all.

Even though Zhou Qi and Sun Tao wanted to step forward, they had absolutely no power to fight against those 2-star and 3-star Yao Beasts.

And although Lin Yi didn't say it, Wei Nan had already noticed. The Yao Beasts of Prison City were much stronger than those in the Old District.

Even if they were Yao Beasts of the same Realm, their intelligence and combat power were absolutely incomparable to those in the Old District.

This was like the difference between domesticated and wild animals.

The Yao Beasts in the Old District mainly entered the city to hunt humans. They took pleasure in humans and fed on humans.

Even if they encountered Martial Artists, they could often escape easily. Sometimes, when encountering low-Realm Martial Artists, they would even counter-kill and devour them.

But these Yao Beasts in Prison City were completely different. They were already in this harsh place of exile.

And their enemies were not just the students from various universities. There were also their own kind, exotic beasts, and those extremely vicious people.

Here, they were surrounded by danger every moment. To survive, they could only constantly improve themselves and strengthen themselves.

Over time, the Yao Beasts and exotic beasts here became much stronger in terms of combat power alone.

And those weak Yao Beasts had long since been killed. Those that could survive were naturally the elite among them.

Therefore, students who came here for missions were either hunting Yao Beasts or being hunted by Yao Beasts...

Like Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Shen Mengyi, they had talent in the Dao of Martial Arts, and given time, they could catch up in Realm.

But in terms of combat experience, they were like a blank sheet of paper.

When they were in the Old District, they had no experience in Monster Hunting, focusing entirely on Cultivating.

Putting their whole heart into improving their Realm, just to prepare for the Martial Arts Exam.

Now that they had come to this extremely dangerous land of exile, they had almost no combat experience, and every step they took was extremely difficult.

It was precisely because Wei Nan realized this that he saw through Lin Yi's thoughts. And he took the initiative to want to stay behind to increase his own combat experience.
