Chapter 1485: Chapter 1483: Beast Soul!
So that’s how it is!
Lin Feng watched as this scene unfolded, sothing very familiar to him. Isn’t that the Hidden World on the other side? He hadn’t anticipated these people using such a technique to open this, to unlock the portal to the Hidden World. As long as the power is sufficient, any kind of power can do. He had once thought this might be a loophole of the Hidden World, but hadn’t paid much attention to it. Unexpectedly, these people in black found it.
Now Lin Feng was even more curious about the person in black. He sensed so strange occurrence on the man after he threw the grenade, yet it wasn’t a change associated with Gang Qi. He couldn’t analyze what exactly it was. But now, being here, he wanted to see what this person in black intended to do.
"Get in quickly."
After uttering these words, the man in black rushed into the door shining with light. Everyone watched him charge in and unhesitatingly followed suit. In the blink of an eye, they’d all rushed inside, and that glowing door gradually closed at this ti.
What is this place?
This... where could this be?
Oh my, how high are these trees!
...
Everyone looked around at their surroundings, all shocked. None of them had ever seen such a scene—a towering forest with trees nearly a hundred ters high, extre variations of plants. They all thought to themselves, Where is this place? This is too strange. How could Earth have such an absurd place?
"This is the Lost Forest. If you want to enhance your strength, you’ll need to slay Demon Beasts here. If you kill a Demon Beast and obtain a Beast Soul, your strength will naturally increase. However, it’s dangerously risky here. If you can’t pass this stage, you will die here." The person in black spoke expressionlessly as he noticed everyone’s stunned expressions.
"Demon Beasts, what exactly are Demon Beasts?"
"There are Demon Beasts in this world?"
"How does killing Demon Beasts enhance strength? What is a Beast Soul?"
...
Hearing the man in black’s words, everyone was even more puzzled, not understanding what the man ant. How were they supposed to kill Demon Beasts to enhance their strength? The problem was they didn’t even know what Demon Beasts were, let alone how to enhance their strength. Why was the man in black’s speech so incomprehensible?
"When you see them, you’ll understand. I’ll be watching over you. Now, form your own teams. No team should exceed seven mbers. Once teams are ford, you can leave on your own." The man in black didn’t bother answering their questions, instead telling them.
Upon hearing this, everyone started finding teammates to form teams. Lin Feng’s side happened to have seven mbers, so no team formation was necessary. Others quickly found their respective teams, and then everyone went their separate ways.
After Lin Feng led Xue Dakun and the others away, he imdiately led them into the forest. Without the presence of the man in black, Lin Feng dared to release his Divine Sense. Soon, he found a junior Demon Beast. Rembering the man in black’s words, Lin Feng led Xue Dakun and the others towards that direction, wanting to see how they could enhance their strength.
With Lin Feng leading, they quickly encountered the junior Demon Beast.
The Demon Beast in front of them was about six to seven ters in length, with four short legs attached to a body resembling a hippopotamus. Its head was exceptionally large, with tusks protruding from the sides of its mouth, looking incredibly fierce. It left Xue Dakun and the others dumbstruck. Looking at this Demon Beast, they finally understood what Demon Beasts were—weren’t they the monsters of legend!
But before they could say anything, the Demon Beast charged at them, its bloodthirsty mouth snapping at them. It startled and petrified Xue Dakun and the others, instinctively scattering in fear, not knowing what to do next. They had fought people before, but never a Demon Beast. Surely, they didn’t know how to fight it.
"What are you standing there for? Kill it!" Lin Feng looked at Xue Dakun and the others, reminding them.
Right!
Strike and kill it!
No matter what it is, it must be killed!
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s reminder, they finally ca to their senses; dodging like this was pointless, especially since the man in black had already said—in order to enhance strength you must slay Demon Beasts. Realizing this, they steadied their nerves and began to attack the Demon Beast!
"Whoosh!"
"Roar..."
"Be careful, this fellow is quick!"
"Watch
electrocute it!"
...
For a ti, Xue Dakun and the others started fighting this initial-level demon beast. It’s worth noting that even the most basic demon beasts possess late Mortal Realm strength, making the battle quite strenuous for them. They spent nearly an hour struggling before finally slaying the beast, leaving them all exhausted and nearly collapsing.
However, as the demon beast fell to the ground, a green mist erged from its body and directly rushed towards Xue Dakun and the others. They were imdiately terrified and didn’t know what to do, frantically trying to dodge, but no matter how they avoided it, they couldn’t escape the green mist.
In the blink of an eye, the green mist invaded the bodies of Xue Dakun and his companions. They thought they were going to die but suddenly felt a warm current appear inside them, indescribably comfortable, leaving them confused and unsure of what was happening.
What is this?
The sudden change in Xue Dakun and his comrades surprised Lin Feng greatly. He finally understood what the Beast Soul was—it was the spiritual energy of demon beasts. What puzzled him was why this spiritual energy actively ca out to be absorbed by Xue Dakun and the others. Normally, unless one reaches a certain level of cultivation, the spiritual energy only leaves the body after death, like Moyan. Demon beasts should be the sa way, so it was unusual for the spiritual energy of such weak creatures to leave the body voluntarily.
It seems it will take so ti to figure out this matter.
Seeing Xue Dakun and the others in high spirits, Lin Feng decided in his heart that the mysterious figure and the organization behind him must be plotting so conspiracy. To uncover the truth, he would have to continue pretending to be a regular person and travel with Xue Dakun and the others.
After a brief rest, they continued on their way. With Lin Feng’s help, they quickly found the second demon beast.
As soon as the beast appeared, Xue Dakun and the others were no longer afraid. Without waiting for Lin Feng’s signal, they charged forward.
"This guy is tough!"
"Watch out for its claws!"
"Quick, dodge!"
...
The battle resud quickly. Since this second demon beast was also an initial-level beast, Xue Dakun and the others didn’t struggle too much to kill it, completing the task in under an hour. Once again, the Beast Soul erged, enhancing their strength slightly, but noticeably!
Watching Xue Dakun and the others absorb the dying Beast Soul again, Lin Feng finally understood why demon beasts in the Lost Forest died so frequently. These people didn’t emit Gang Qi fluctuations, so they naturally went unnoticed in the forest, and they could absorb the Beast Soul from any level of demon beast. If he wasn’t certain they were humans, Lin Feng would have suspected that Xue Dakun and the others were transford demon beasts.
Given the situation, there was no other way but to investigate further. As for the demon beasts that died during this period, there was nothing he could do about it; after all, he couldn’t reveal his identity just yet...
Half a day passed quickly, and the sky darkened. Feeling exhausted, Xue Dakun and his team rested under a large tree, while Lin Feng ignited a campfire to roast the demon beasts’ at for food.
"Boss, why didn’t you take action? After killing a beast, we feel our special abilities have grown a lot!" Xue Dakun asked Lin Feng while eating the roasted at, puzzled why Lin Feng observed the whole afternoon without participating. They enhanced their abilities by killing demon beasts, but Lin Feng didn’t. How could he improve his abilities without absorbing Beast Souls?
"Exactly, my lightning is much stronger now."
"My hardening ability too; my defense seems much stronger than before!"
"Boss, did you notice my fireball has almost doubled in size!"
...
After hearing Xue Dakun’s remarks, the others chid in. Although hunting demon beasts was dangerous, their abilities improved significantly after obtaining the Beast Souls. They wondered how the mysterious figure knew that hunting demon beasts would enhance their abilities. Without him, they wouldn’t have imagined such a quick way to power-up.
But Lin Feng hadn’t absorbed any Beast Soul all afternoon, leaving them anxious, puzzled as to why he would miss out on such an excellent opportunity for power-up. They didn’t want Lin Feng to forgo absorbing Beast Souls for their sake, as that would be a great loss!
"Don’t worry about . When it’s ti, I’ll take action. As for the Beast Souls, it’s fine if you absorb them; I don’t mind," Lin Feng said calmly. He actually understood how to absorb spiritual energy, but he chose not to because absorbing such energy influenced one’s heart, forming ntal barriers. So he concocted a random excuse to cover up.
In an instant, everyone finished eating, and the fully recovered Xue Dakun and others beca restless, urging Lin Feng to lead them to hunt more demon beasts. Lin Feng did not oppose and led them deep into the forest.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a demon beast’s roar echoed from afar. Without waiting for Lin Feng’s instructions, Xue Dakun and his team charged forward. Upon seeing the beast, they were stunned: it resembled a giant black leopard, over ten ters long, appearing majestic. More astonishingly, the leopard had three eyes and seed shrouded in a faint black mist, unlike those they encountered in the afternoon.
