10: Encounter

In an infinitely vast forest.

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes and observed his surroundings.

A huge blood moon was still hanging in the sky.

The dark red moonlight illuminated every corner.

The faint roars of exotic beasts could be heard nearby.

Perhaps because every time he Transmigrated to this Other World, it was at night.

That is why a blood moon was always hanging in the sky!

Lin Chen gripped the long saber in his hand.

He carefully explored and walked forward.

He should be able to deal with ordinary First-Order exotic beasts now.

Lin Chen's Battle Intent was boiling!

Since he Transmigrated here.

He had only had one satisfying battle with Qin Yu's bodyguard.

Just continuously improving wasn't enough.

He also needed actual combat experience.

This was something the System could not improve.

Suddenly, there was movement ahead.

"That is... a First-Order exotic beast, the Black Armor Pig!"

He saw this Black Armor Pig rubbing its back against a tree trunk.

The Black Armor Pig was covered with a thick black shell.

Two ferocious tusks protruded from its mouth.

"The weaknesses of the Black Armor Pig are its abdomen and eyes; these two places are not covered by the shell."

Lin Chen recalled the information from the illustrated guide.

He slowly drew his long saber.

Lin Chen took a step forward and instantly arrived at the side of the Black Armor Pig.

His True Qi surged throughout his body, and he slashed horizontally with his saber.

Slashing Wave!

A huge white wave of Saber Qi slashed onto the Black Armor Pig's head.

Immediately, bright red blood splattered.

"Awoo~"

The Black Armor Pig felt the pain.

It let out a heart-wrenching roar and pounced toward Lin Chen.

Lin Chen took another step.

He instantly dodged to the side of the beast and continued with another horizontal slash!

"Swoosh~"

This slash hit the Black Armor Pig's shell.

The shell cracked directly.

But it also blocked the damage of this strike.

Just like that.

Lin Chen continuously used his movement technique and slashed.

After more than ten consecutive slashes.

"Puchi!"

Lin Chen thrust his saber into the Black Armor Pig's skull.

The Black Armor Pig let out a miserable howl and stopped moving.

"Phew~"

"It really is tough."

Lin Chen looked at the massive corpse of the exotic beast.

This Black Armor Pig should have the strength of a First-Order Early Stage, which corresponds to the Martial Warrior Early Stage.

It was so much effort even for a First-Order Early Stage.

It seems his attack methods were still insufficient.

"I must upgrade my Profound Rank saber technique."

After thinking, Lin Chen silently chanted: "Absorb!"

Instantly, the Black Armor Pig turned into specks of light and flew into Lin Chen's body.

Only two long tusks remained on the ground.

[energy points] 50

A First-Order Early Stage exotic beast only provided 50 energy points.

Lin Chen was very happy.

He directly added the energy points into his Cultivation Technique.

[Cultivation Technique] Purple Lightning Thunder Blade Entry Level (51/10000)

He put the tusks into his spatial ring.

Continue!

10 minutes later...

"This is a pack of Unicorn Wolves!"

He saw a group of Unicorn Wolves eating on a hill ahead.

They were all First-Order exotic beasts.

The leader of the Unicorn Wolves was twice as large as the others.

Its aura was as terrifying as the Blood Poison Python.

A Second-Order exotic beast!

Corresponding to the human Martial Master Realm.

Suddenly!

The leading Unicorn Wolf looked toward Lin Chen's direction.

All the wolves stopped eating.

"Phew~"

Although this was a Dreamland Traversal and there was no life-threatening danger.

Lin Chen still felt the oppressive pressure and the scent of blood rushing towards him!

Lin Chen didn't even look back and disappeared after a few flashes of movement.

"It's fortunate that I have a movement technique."

"One day, I will face these exotic beasts with my real body."

"Before that, I must improve my movement technique, which is my life-saving skill!"

Lin Chen continued to carefully explore this exotic beast forest...

"This is a group of Fire Flaming Birds!"

He saw hundreds of exotic beasts flying across the sky.

Every one of them had a terrifying aura!

They were all Second-Order exotic beasts!

The one leading them was burning with fire, and the Void Realm itself seemed distorted.

A Third-Order exotic beast!

Lin Chen immediately held his breath and hid under a giant tree.

After a long while, the Fire Flaming Bird group disappeared.

Lin Chen gasped for air.

"The Other World is too dangerous. If I'm unlucky and run into a Third-Order or Fourth-Order exotic beast, what can I do!"

He was still too weak~

"Take it slow, hunt First-Order exotic beasts first."

Just like that.

Lin Chen carefully explored.

He discovered that he could rely on the advantage of his movement technique and coordinate with the Perfection-level Slashing Wave Saber Art to kill single First-Order exotic beasts.

"Bang!"

A First-Order Iron Horn Rhino was finished off by Lin Chen's saber.

Absorb!

[energy points] 55

Continue hunting!

Lin Chen was not in a hurry to add points.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

5 hours later...

A massive exotic beast fell down powerlessly.

"Excluding the first Black Armor Pig, this is the 18th exotic beast I've hunted."

Absorb!

[energy points] 1080

Lin Chen let out a long breath and smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the energy points.

"Should I add points to my Mental Energy attribute first?"

He had brought three flying daggers this time.

The power of controlling the flying daggers with 866 Hz of Mental Energy was limited.

Let's try it.

Lin Chen felt that if his Mental Energy broke through 1000, there might be a qualitative change!

Upgrade!

[Mental Energy] 1946

"Boom!"

In his brain region.

The deep purple 'core' seemed to have broken through a critical point.

It expanded tenfold directly!

A powerful Mental Energy probed out from Lin Chen's brain region.

He could perceive any movement within a hundred-meter radius!

He wrapped his Mental Energy around the flying daggers.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

He saw the three flying daggers moving as fast as lightning.

They danced around Lin Chen, constantly changing their flight trajectories.

Lin Chen felt that three flying daggers were already his limit.

Any more, and the speed and power would decrease.

"Now let's test the power."

Lin Chen continued to set off.

"Encountered Black Armor Pigs again."

He saw three Black Armor Pigs lying together 50 meters ahead, snoring~

Lin Chen could maximize the power of controlling the flying daggers within a hundred-meter range!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The three flying daggers flew towards the three exotic beasts respectively.

Just when the flying daggers were about to approach.

The three Black Armor Pigs sensed it and dodged to the side.

However.

The flying daggers seemed to have eyes.

They made a small adjustment.

And pierced into the eyes of the three Black Armor Pigs respectively!

The powerful force directly penetrated the heads of the Black Armor Pigs.

Bringing out a large gush of blood.

"Bang bang bang!"

The three exotic beasts fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.

Lin Chen was ecstatic in his heart.

Too powerful!

The power of his Mental Energy flying daggers far exceeded his current combat power level.

He instantly killed the First-Order Early Stage exotic beasts.

Lin Chen walked over and directly absorbed!

[energy points] 150

Awesome!

"In this way, my hunting speed has increased."

"Maybe I can try hunting First-Order Middle Stage or Late Stage exotic beasts."

Thinking this, Lin Chen continued to hunt.

3 hours later...

"Bang!"

A First-Order Late Stage exotic beast, the Earth Evil Spider, was hit by Lin Chen's flying dagger in its life core and fell down powerlessly!

"Relying on the movement technique and flying daggers, I can actually hunt First-Order Late Stage exotic beasts!"

"But this Earth Evil Spider is really difficult to deal with. With its spider web combined with corrosive Evil Qi, I couldn't get close at all."

Absorb!

[energy points] 2650

"A First-Order Late Stage exotic beast gives 250 energy points!"

Lin Chen's hunting efficiency soared in these 3 hours.

He would kill First-Order Early Stage exotic beasts instantly upon seeing them!

He counted the life cores:

44 First-Order Early Stage life cores.

9 First-Order Middle Stage life cores.

1 First-Order Late Stage life core.

Cultivation Technique upgrade!

[Cultivation Technique] Purple Lightning Thunder Blade Minor Achievement (2701/10000)

The Profound Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique had reached Minor Achievement!

The power of the Misty Trace Steps made Lin Chen very expectant of the power of this Profound Rank saber technique.

Lin Chen found a First-Order Early Stage Black Armor Pig.

A horizontal slash!

A terrifying purple Saber Qi more than ten meters long slashed onto the exotic beast.

"Swoosh!"

It splashed a large area of blood.

"Awoo~"

The Black Armor Pig screamed, and the scales on its body flew everywhere.

This slash directly shattered the thick shell on the Black Armor Pig's body.

Lin Chen slashed out again!

"Bang!"

The Black Armor Pig was directly cut in half at the waist!

"So strong!"

"And this is just the Minor Achievement level of the Purple Lightning Thunder Blade."

Lin Chen was very expectant of the power of the saber technique at the Perfection level.

Then Lin Chen continued to hunt~

Suddenly!

Fighting sounds came from ahead.

Lin Chen had been keeping his Mental Energy released.

Always maintaining perception within a hundred-meter range.

He saw a group of five people, four men and one woman.

Wearing black combat uniforms.

They were surrounding and attacking a First-Order Middle Stage Phantom Cat.

"Blue Star humans!"

Lin Chen exclaimed in his heart.

All five of them were at the Martial Artist Realm.

Among them, a purple short-haired young man had an extremely powerful aura, at least at the Martial Warrior Middle Stage.

The Phantom Cat was extremely fast.

Except for the purple short-haired young man, the attacks of the other four people were hard to be effective.

"Young Master Chen, it's not working, this Phantom Cat's speed is too fast."

"We can't hit it at all."

Two of the men shouted.

"Hold on, you guys pay attention to defense, attract its attention, I'll kill it!"

The purple-haired young man roared.

At this moment.

The only woman in the team spoke:

"Chen Mo, my talent ability can control this exotic beast for 2 seconds."

The purple-haired young man was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Good, Xuan'er, you go control it."

Li Zixuan felt a trace of disgust on her face when she heard Chen Mo calling her Xuan'er.

But she still used her talent ability

"Imprison!"

He saw Li Zixuan wave her hand at the Phantom Cat.

A purple cage immediately trapped the Phantom Cat.

Chen Mo saw this and immediately slashed out with his saber.

"Slashing Wave!"

Perfection-level Slashing Wave Saber Art! Lin Chen was shocked when he saw this.

"Boom!"

He saw the Phantom Cat's neck being cut off by half by the powerful Saber Qi!

"Awoo~"

The Phantom Cat screamed and fell to the ground.

The others saw this and also went up to output a round of attacks.

Finally, the Phantom Cat lost its life and stopped moving.

"Sister Xuan'er's talent ability is too strong, it really has a miraculous effect at the critical moment."

Chen Mo ignored the Phantom Cat, walked to Li Zixuan, and said with a smile.

Li Zixuan showed disgust on her face.

If it weren't for the fact that she needed a First-Order Middle Stage exotic beast life core.

She wouldn't have teamed up with Chen Mo to come to the Other World to hunt.

This Chen Mo was a descendant of a Federation Family, and he had been pursuing her without success...

"Let's deal with the exotic beast corpse first."

Li Zixuan pushed Chen Mo away directly and walked towards the Phantom Cat.

Chen Mo's expression turned cold.

He looked at Li Zixuan's graceful back.

A sense of desire appeared on his face.

Then he hid it again...

Suddenly, as if he felt something.

Chen Mo looked towards the direction of the tree behind where Lin Chen was.

"Who's there!"

"Come out."
