Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Butterfly Hunt (Part 2)
Puchi!
With a flash of the saber, the massive black bear’s head separated from its body, and the enormous figure fell heavily to the ground.
The ferocious head rolled a few tis, collecting a lot of fallen leaves and dirt.
The bear’s mouth, lined with sharp fangs, continued to bubble with blood.
Sacrifice!
Zhang Yuan extended his hand in a grasping gesture, sacrificing the newly slain mutated giant bear to the Divine Nest.
[Source Material
1306]
Previously, when Zhang Yuan joined the team to explore Mo Yuan, no matter how many fierce beasts he slew, he could only collect a few materials as trophies, not daring to reveal the secret of the Divine Nest.
He didn’t know how much Source Material had been wasted.
Now hunting alone, he naturally had no such concerns.
And Zhang Yuan, without hesitation, invested all the Source Material from the sacrifice into his sixth host, the Silky Fur Rat.
The Silky Fur Rat’s Storage Space was indeed quite handy.
Currently, the Level 3 capacity of 27 cubic units was barely sufficient.
More would never be too much.
It was worth investing a massive amount of Source Material to upgrade.
Even though the Source Material required for the Silky Fur Rat’s evolution was substantial, he didn’t hesitate at all.
This ti, having ventured into Mo Yuan alone, Zhang Yuan encountered an extraordinary number of fierce beasts; the Source Material obtained from the hunt was substantial, and with this giant bear, it seed he could elevate to Level 4 upon returning.
But the feeling of danger lingered in Zhang Yuan’s heart, unable to be dispelled.
He felt no joy; his nerves remained tightly wound!
Today’s Mo Yuan had issues.
Big issues!
Zhang Yuan opened the Divine Nest panel to check his Qi and Blood Value.
His Qi and Blood Value had already dropped by more than half.
Since descending into Mo Yuan, Zhang Yuan had encountered a large number of fierce beasts.
Starting from the Fog Wolf pack to various tigers, leopards, bears, and boars, through intense and frequent battles, it was remarkable that he had managed to maintain nearly half his Qi and Blood Value.
This was thanks to the elixirs that replenished Qi and Blood.
But dicine is not food, nor is it like chugging a magic potion for instant mana replenishnt.
Moreover, aside from Qi and Blood, Zhang Yuan’s True Essence and Physical Strength were also significantly depleted.
Yet up to this point, he still hadn’t found the location of the Land of Yin and Evil.
Now, Zhang Yuan faced a significant dilemma.
Should he cut his losses and leave, or continue to explore while he still had so strength?
Leaving seed like the right choice, yet Zhang Yuan had a vague feeling that if he didn’t find the Human-faced Butterfly today, the opportunity would beco even slimr if he returned tomorrow or the day after.
Moreover, Mo Yuan would beco even more dangerous!
Yet continuing to explore was like finding a needle in a haystack, not knowing how many dangers lay ahead.
Should he abandon this quest?
Zhang Yuan’s attention shifted to the last attribute on the Divine Nest panel.
[Luck: 9 1]
He was a person with luck.
The reason Su Jingyao was willing to pay a high price to have Zhang Yuan capture the Human-faced Butterfly was because she recognized his strong luck.
She wanted to gamble on Zhang Yuan’s fortune!
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, focusing his mind on the Luck attribute.
Instantly illuminating the final value.
The 1 in 9 1!
This point of luck ca from a Celestial Being; it was both part of Zhang Yuan’s inherent luck and existed independently.
And it could be utilized and consud!
To this day, Zhang Yuan still didn’t know the effects of using this luck.
Or what it could bring him.
But he resolved to give it a try!
The next mont, the additional 1 point of Luck disappeared.
Without any reason, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a mysterious force descend from the void, enveloping him entirely in an instant.
A flash of spiritual chanism sparked in his mind, and he silently chanted: "I want to find the Human-faced Butterfly!"
Zhang Yuan didn’t know if such a wish was the correct way to use his Luck Points.
But his intuition told him this was the way to do it!
After his wish was complete, Zhang Yuan summoned the Red-eyed Crow from within the Divine Nest.
This Profound Spirit fluttered its wings and swiftly flew into the dark forest.
Zhang Yuan, without a second thought, applied his Body Technique to follow closely.
The Red-eyed Crow flew quickly, leading him through the treacherous jungle full of hidden dangers.
Zhang Yuan’s nerves were taut to the limit, his hand tightly gripping the Taowu Saber, its edge hidden, yet it held lethal power.
Prepared to strike at a mont’s notice!
A distant roar from an unknown fierce beast rang out, the temperature in the surroundings dropped continuously, and the light in the forest dimd further.
Zhang Yuan seed to be traversing a deep abyss, enveloped by the chilling aura trying to seep into his flesh and bones.
Every breath Zhang Yuan exhaled turned into white mist.
Even forming frost!
If it were an ordinary Martial Artist, they would likely have turned into an ice corpse by now.
Yet Zhang Yuan was not afraid, but rather delighted.
The increasingly intense Evil Qi around him indicated that he was on the right path!
Zhang Yuan silently applied the Primordial Celestial Spirit True thod, circulating the True Essence in his Dantian throughout his body to resist the invading chilling Evil Qi.
The "Primordial Celestial Spirit True thod" was an excellent Qianyang Technique, perfectly countering the Evil Qi.
Allowing him to persevere.
After advancing a certain distance, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a stir in his heart.
He imdiately retrieved the Red-eyed Crow that was scouting ahead back into the Divine Nest.
For at this point, the Red-eyed Crow could no longer withstand the surrounding Evil Qi’s corrosion.
But Zhang Yuan had already spotted his target.
A black Cold Pool appeared in his sight.
The Cold Pool’s area was not large, surrounded by rugged rocks where not a single blade of grass grew, covered with large amounts of gray-black Profound Ice.
Curiously, despite continuously emanating bone-chilling Evil Qi, making the surrounding area’s temperature extrely low, the pool’s water did not freeze, rippling with perpetual waves.
Zhang Yuan paused his steps.
He waved his hand, and a massive Wolf Beast corpse appeared out of thin air, landing with a heavy thud.
It was the previously slain Fog Wolf King!
Zhang Yuan retained the wolf’s corpse, not sacrificing it for Source Material, intending to use it as bait.
To lure the Human-faced Butterfly!
According to Su Jingyao, Human-faced Butterflies were extrely adept at invisibility and stealth; even if one found the Land of Yin and Evil where it hid, drawing it out was exceedingly difficult.
The Human-faced Butterfly possessed considerable intelligence and would not easily fall for tricks.
But it had a weakness.
It had an affinity for fresh flesh, especially that of high-tier living creatures!
The Fog Wolf King’s strength was not far below that of a Tier Six powerhouse, its life force naturally exceedingly robust.
And the Storage Space kept the beheaded corpse in a perfectly fresh state of death.
Once the wolf’s corpse hit the ground, the severed neck imdiately gushed copious amounts of fresh blood.
The air quickly filled with a dense scent of blood.
The flowing wolf blood on the ground was mostly unaffected by the surrounding Evil Qi, not freezing into ice.
In this mont, Zhang Yuan quietly hid behind a rock.
He restrained his presence, silently waiting...
For the Human-faced Butterfly to appear!
