21: A day's work, time to sleep? No need!
As the last Tier 3 Exotic Beast fell, Jiang Hao slowly exhaled.
His Primal Energy had been depleted two hours ago. Now, he was just maintaining the Yuan Power shield without using Martial Skills, relying on his powerful Foundation to slowly recover and supply energy to the shield.
Every time he paused, an Exotic Beast would run out of Jiang Hao’s vegetable garden. Relying on the spirit weapon's inherent sharpness to harvest the Exotic Beasts was quite fast.
However, some Exotic Beasts were four or five meters tall and still struggled even after being struck by his blade.
Jiang Hao simply adopted the stance of Collapse Fist and punched, instantly exploding the Exotic Beast. Although it was a bit disgusting, the efficiency was much higher.
When Collapse Fist was not powered by Primal Energy, it was just an ordinary boxing technique.
Thus, Jiang Hao, accompanied by his four numb hangers-ons, hammered his way forward.
Finally, the sun was about to set, and golden sunlight dappled the ground through the bushes.
The five of them—Jiang Hao and the others—found a clean, sheltered spot and began setting up camp.
Hou Si went to sprinkle some powder that repelled insects and snakes.
Liu Da walked over and said:
“Young Master Jiang, we specifically brought some Exotic Beast meat earlier that we can grill later.”
Some Exotic Beasts are edible, while others, despite appearing to belong to the same genus, are poisonous if eaten.
If you weren't knowledgeable, you'd have to throw the Exotic Beast meat away. Fortunately, Liu Da and the others were experienced hunters.
Originally, on the Exotic Beast Battlefield, Liu Da and the others would just settle for energy bars and wouldn't dare start a fire to grill meat. But Jiang Hao was too crazy, chasing and hammering Exotic Beasts.
It was unclear whether Exotic Beasts had a means of communication, but not a single one had appeared before them for half an hour.
Jiang Hao took out several buckets of water, a pot, a complete barbecue set, including seasonings, various smokeless coals, cooked food, and reclining chairs.
He also produced a simple house made of composite Materials.
This Storage Pouch was extremely convenient; you only needed to mark an item with Mental Energy to store it directly.
The prerequisite was that you had to be able to move the item, but for Jiang Hao, this was effortless.
Although he hadn't tested it.
Earlier, he had encountered a seven-meter-tall Tier 3 Ox, and Jiang Hao could single-handedly knock it over, lift it up, and toss it around for fun.
Jiang Hao looked at Liu Da, who had an expression of 'Just as expected,' and said, "I'm going to take a shower. You guys eat first."
He then entered the house, planning to wash up and change his clothes.
While Jiang Hao was hammering Exotic Beasts, his Primal Energy had recovered significantly, and with the Yuan Power shield active, he hadn't gotten splattered with blood.
But he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
Jiang Hao realized he had scared several passersby while hammering his way along.
"Hmm, maybe I should only hammer Exotic Beasts at night from now on. I should be more civilized during the day."
Jiang Hao took a cold shower, changed into a new set of clothes, and came out.
Liu Da and the others hadn't touched their chopsticks; they were only slowly grilling the meat, as it was Exotic Beast meat after all.
Seeing the four of them waiting for him, Jiang Hao smiled and took out a dozen more plates of cooked food: "Everyone, hurry up and eat! I have plenty more in my bag."
...After finishing the grilled meat and waiting for the sky to completely darken before going out to farm points, Jiang Hao opened his system panel.
He looked directly at the points column:
[Points: 1415]
Awesome!
Unfortunately, after encountering the Dread Wolves, he hadn't run into another situation with hundreds of Exotic Beasts gathered together.
Liu Da also remarked strangely that the distribution of Exotic Beasts in Battlefield No. 1 seemed to have changed, and only recently.
After all, Liu Da had only left half a month ago!
Since it was Jiang Hao's first time here, he couldn't say why. Surely, a high-tier Exotic Beast hadn't been born in a low-tier Exotic Beast Battlefield, right?
Jiang Hao saw that the sky was nearly dark and walked toward Liu Da and the others: "Arrange your night watch yourselves. Don't worry about me."
"I'm going out to hunt a few Exotic Beasts and will be back tomorrow morning."
Saying that, he left behind several Signal Flares.
Liu Da and the others exchanged glances, finally only able to watch Jiang Hao gradually disappear into the night.
There was nothing they could do. Jiang Hao's strength was absolutely overwhelming in the No. 1 Exotic Beast Battlefield!
It was still very dangerous for others to go out at night... Jiang Hao didn't stray too far from the tent, after all, the battlefield was huge, and getting lost would be troublesome.
A few kilometers away, Jiang Hao moved stealthily among the trees, constantly searching for lucky targets.
Suddenly, Jiang Hao flickered onto a thick branch.
On the ground.
A dark figure was cautiously creeping toward the area where Jiang Hao and the others were camping.
Jiang Hao saw that the person seemed to be holding something.
"So you're great because you came from a Great Prefecture, huh? Your Family is powerful, huh? You can fight, huh?"
The dark figure spoke while looking at an instrument in his hand, similar to a tablet from his previous life. On it was a large red dot, which was exactly where Jiang Hao and the others were camped!
"That voice, combined with the inexplicable malice from the daytime... Gao Longtao? This is my first time meeting him, right?"
Looking at the red dot, Jiang Hao understood that a Tracker must have been secretly installed on one of Liu Da and the others.
Jiang Hao had noticed this when he met the people from Yunxiao Martial Arts School earlier that day.
This guy smiled and walked over to thank him, but a faint malice was constantly detected by Jiang Hao's High Perception.
Furthermore, Jiang Hao was focused on farming more monsters then, and he was confident in his strength, unafraid of this trash who was only older than him.
If he dared to pull any tricks, then don't blame me for treating him like a wild monster to be farmed!
Watching Gao Longtao take out a packet that looked like it contained rat poison, he began sprinkling it little by little on the ground, walking toward the camp.
"Hmph! So what if he's a Prodigy? I don't believe he can fight one thousand or ten thousand!" Gao Longtao's face was full of Twist as he maliciously looked toward the camp.
After separating from Jiang Hao and his group today, Gao Longtao carefully reviewed the situation. He realized Jiang Hao probably didn't have much Primal Energy left after dealing with the wolf pack.
After all, Gao Longtao considered himself a Tier 4 Martial Artist, and even he would find it difficult to eliminate those hundreds of Dread Wolves without letting any escape. Wolves have legs; they run!
The Primal Energy fluctuations Jiang Hao displayed seemed to be only at the beginning of Tier 3. Although he didn't want to admit it, Jiang Hao was much stronger than him! Even if they were both Tier 3, Jiang Hao could instantly kill him with one move!
Thinking of this, Gao Longtao's face turned frighteningly gloomy, and the fire of jealousy in his heart burned fiercely. He took advantage of the opportunity when his teammates were sleeping and he was on the first watch to sneak over.
"I paid a huge price to trade for this Beast Luring Powder from an official member of the Sacred Beast Society. In this Exotic Beast Battlefield, it can definitely lure thousands of Exotic Beasts!"
"Oh, there's such a good thing?" Jiang Hao, who was preparing to have a heart-to-heart chat with Gao Longtao, had shining eyes.
Gao Longtao was just about to throw the remaining majority of the Beast Luring Powder toward Jiang Hao's camp and then leave.
After all, if the wind blew the powder's effect toward areas where Exotic Beasts were gathered, it would be troublesome for him to escape.
"Senior Gao, wandering outside so late is extremely dangerous."
The dark figure froze, turning his head in horror: "It's you! You aren't sleeping at night?"
A flash of blade light shone.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for instantly killing a Tier 3 opponent. Reward: 5 Points!]
"Sleep? That doesn't exist!"
Looking at Gao Longtao lying on the ground, Jiang Hao stepped forward and put the Beast Luring Powder into his Storage Pouch.
He also put away the tablet, looking at the two light dots on the instrument, one large and one small, with the small one having a marked symbol.
The distance between the two sides on the instrument was about fifty kilometers.
Jiang Hao looked impressed: "Did his teammate rush over to deliver a kill right after falling asleep?"
Jiang Hao searched and found dozens of locating devices, roughly the size of a grain of rice. No wonder Liu Da and the others had been hit.
However, looking at the tracking equipment and the Beast Luring Powder, Jiang Hao suspected this wasn't the first time he had done this.
"I suppose I'm eliminating a menace for the people."
Hearing roaring sounds rising in the distance, Jiang Hao figured Exotic Beasts would definitely eat the corpse first, so he prepared to return to the camp just in case.
Thinking that he wouldn't have to worry about running out of Exotic Beasts for the next few days, Jiang Hao, carrying his blade, disappeared into the night.
