Chapter 526: Chapter 102: Hunting (Added more for Book Friend 20170414150633457)

In the crevice where Qin Tian was hiding.

Sensing the sudden turmoil outside and hearing the chaotic footsteps above his head, Qin Tian quickly reacted.

This situation must be the "commotion" Wen Yu mentioned.

After waiting in the fissure for over ten minutes, Qin Tian naturally wouldn’t pass up this hard-earned opportunity. He swiftly crawled out of the crevice and was immediately confronted by several ferocious Demon Fiends.

Although these Low-grade Demon Fiends had received orders to disperse and evacuate, their current location was simply too far from where Wen Yu was attacking. These clueless creatures had no idea what was happening; the sight of fresh flesh immediately whipped them into a frenzy.

They charged at Qin Tian, howling and screeching, only to be torn to shreds by a couple of his sword strikes.

While casually dealing with the surrounding Low-grade Demon Fiends—this didn’t even require much of Qin Tian’s attention, merely drawing and sheathing his sword—he listened for the distant sounds of explosions.

They’re fighting.

Qin Tian quickly made this assessment.

With this in mind, Qin Tian looked around.

Masses of Demon Fiends were scattering aimlessly; the scene was utterly chaotic.

They’re fleeing, Qin Tian immediately made the correct assessment.

Witnessing this, an idea suddenly struck Qin Tian.

In this situation, why run? There’s no need to run at all. These lively, leaping Demon Fiends are all walking repositories of points...

At this moment, Qin Tian’s thoughts perfectly aligned with Wen Yu’s.

Thinking this, Qin Tian resumed scything down the surrounding Demon Fiends while taking out his communicator and calling Arthur.

"Where are you now?"

"I don’t know. We’re just heading generally west."

After Arthur broke out of the encirclement with Qin Shiyuan and Nicole, he hadn’t stopped to rest. Instead, he had run further away—after all, the farther, the safer. While fleeing for their lives, Arthur had no idea where he was going; he could only retreat in the direction with fewer Demon Fiends.

"So, are you safe now?"

"There’s no danger for now. I think we should be fine."

Hearing this, Qin Tian pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "Thanks. Also, I’ll have to trouble you for a while longer. Could you help ensure my little sister’s safety?"

"No problem."

Since he had already rescued them, protecting them a bit longer didn’t seem like a big deal. Thus, Arthur agreed without much hesitation.

"Mm... thanks."

Qin Tian said thanks once more before hanging up.

I feel a bit bad, dumping my sister on Arthur to look after while I’m here casually farming points... When this is over, I’ll exchange some good things for Arthur, Qin Tian thought.

The next moment, Qin Tian glanced at the sun’s position and started moving west, attempting to get closer to Arthur and Qin Shiyuan. Simultaneously, his Sword Qi surged as he swiftly slaughtered the surrounding horde of Demon Fiends.

After being so stifled in the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier, Qin Tian was going to vent thoroughly this time.

「...」

Number 4 twitched its large pig-like nose, adjusting his direction from time to time. Behind him, dozens of Demon Fiends, ranging from Peak Level 4 to Middle Stage Level 5, trailed at a distance. These were the helpers Mara had provided for Number 4—their strength was mediocre at best, and their key skills were unimpressive. To put it plainly, they were just slightly higher-level cannon fodder.

"HUMPH... Found it..."

Sensing the increasingly dense aura in the air, Number 4 immediately stopped his short legs and issued orders to his "minions" behind. "You, you, HUMPH, and you! Go harass them. Focus your attacks on the female, the one with long hair."

Number 4 wasn’t very bright, and his minions were even dimmer. Fortunately, this operation didn’t require much intelligence. Mara’s order to Number 4 was simply to harass them and then forcibly stage a clichéd ’hero saves the damsel’ act—trite, perhaps, but highly effective.

Hearing Number 4’s commands, the designated Demon Fiends immediately moved towards the distant target. As one might expect, these few Demon Fiends were hardly enough to trouble Arthur and his two companions.

This was merely a show directed by Mara.

「...」

「Near Las Vegas.」

Cyclops, Star, and Victor were still on a killing spree. Of course, with the Demon Fiends dispersing, large Demon Groups became increasingly difficult to find.

Wen Yu ignored his soul pets, who were delightedly continuing their massacre. He transformed into an extremely dense cloud of black mist and slowly hovered in mid-air. Simultaneously, countless emerald-green tendrils extended from the darkness below, dancing endlessly like tentacles. Any Demon Fiend within the Almighty Demon Vine’s attack range would inevitably be hunted down and cruelly converted into energy.

Growing stronger with each battle, fueling war with war...

With the Almighty Demon Vine, Soul Battlefield, and the Book of Black remnant, Low-grade Demon Fiends were several times more valuable to Wen Yu!

Of course, the upper limit of physique points enhancement from the Almighty Demon Vine was not infinite. As Wen Yu’s physique improved, the energy required to increase each physique point also grew, much like a bottleneck. Breaking through a bottleneck always required an immense amount of energy, and every increase to the physique points cap was akin to such a breakthrough.

Currently, under the nourishment of the Almighty Demon Vine, about every one hundred Early Stage Level 3 Demon Fiends could grant Wen Yu an increase of one physique point. It was predictable that this ratio would continue to decrease as Wen Yu grew stronger. However, some improvement was better than none. Wen Yu didn’t care how much he improved; as long as there was improvement, the effort was not in vain!

Seeing the Demon Fiends in the distance scatter, leaving a large empty space around where he hovered, Wen Yu contemplated for a moment. He squinted, sensing the individuals with the most intense Energy Fluctuations in the area. Then, the darkness began to surge.

Like a dark cloud, the Pitch-dark World, filled with terrifying murderous intent, quickly charged towards a Giant Demon Monster fleeing in the distance.

「...」

Wails and explosions echoed across the entire battlefield.

After a while, the dark cloud slowly drifted into the distance. Beneath it, countless vines tightly ensnared a gigantic body. The vines twitched continuously, as if transporting something, looking both disgusting and eerie.

Not far ahead, hundreds of Level 5 Ancient Demons were rushing towards this spot—but they were too late. By the time the remaining Ancient Demon Battalion arrived at the battlefield, Wen Yu had already drifted away, leaving only a scene of devastation.

The truth was, just as Wen Yu had predicted, with his formidable individual strength and high mobility, no Demon Fiend could stop him—not the Giant Beast, and not the Ancient Demon Battalion.

Looking at the Ancient Demon Battalion roaring behind him, a smirk touched Wen Yu’s lips.

There’s still plenty of nourishment left...
