Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 122 - 123: Discovering the Magical Beast Horde

"Alright, this matter ends here. Let me ask you something, are the bodies of those Magical Beasts and students in the river your doing?"

Chu Linfeng felt something was amiss. Although they were fighting those Magical Beasts, they were quite a distance from the riverbank, so it was unlikely the beasts’ bodies would end up in the river.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. We only encountered that one beast this time. Didn’t expect it to be so formidable. Five of our brothers were injured or killed, one of whom was our strategist. As for the river, we haven’t been there." Ouyang Hong spoke very slowly, but from his tone, it was clear he wasn’t lying.

Chu Linfeng slightly frowned. If it wasn’t their doing, could it be the students from Sea Dragon Academy? Then, the students in the river must be from Celestial Dragon Academy. A sense of foreboding emerged in his heart.

Immediately, he decided, "Ye Xingchen, take five brothers to the south. Report back immediately if anything happens. Niu Tian, take five brothers to the east. Report back if anything occurs.

Murong Piaoxue, take the remaining brothers to the west and report back immediately if you encounter any Magical Beasts or other situations. Do not act on your own. The rest will stay here with me and rest sufficiently. Our limit is two hours. I think our real contest with Sea Dragon Academy is about to begin."

This news was undoubtedly exciting. Many students had an eagerness for battle. In this world where martial arts are revered, only continuous battle can fully prove one’s worth.

Although there would be injuries and bloodshed, perhaps even death, at this moment, none of them felt any fear because they have a leader capable of taming an Eighth Rank Flying Bird Demon Beast as a subordinate. Following him, even dangerous situations could be turned around.

Soon, the three squads set off separately, leaving Yang Rui, Tang Li, Ouyang Hong, and Xue Jin Mountain behind. Chu Linfeng was especially attentive to Xue Jin Mountain. His strength was the weakest among them, so he had to stay by Chu Linfeng’s side.

"Ouyang Hong, what’s your view on this competition between the two academies?" Chu Linfeng asked, seeking a topic.

"This is playing with the lives of students. The beasts are too powerful, and danger lurks everywhere. Sometimes we even encounter people from Sea Dragon Academy, and many are complaining." Ouyang Hong analyzed, seeing the helplessness on his face.

Thinking of the people from Sea Dragon Academy, Chu Linfeng suddenly thought of Sea Dragon Academy’s plot. Immediately, he gravely told Ouyang Hong, "I’ve discovered a secret this time. In the interface for our regular classes, Sea Dragon Academy’s elite class students showed up. Do you understand what this implies, even if I don’t explain?

The urgent matter is for you to quickly go back and inform your teammates to avoid people from Sea Dragon Academy. Of course, if they can join my group, I wouldn’t oppose it. Go back, discuss it with them, and then come over."

"There’s actually such a thing? Damn it, Sea Dragon Academy is so shameless. If I encounter them, I’ll definitely kill them all!" Ouyang Hong angrily exclaimed.

"Hmm, it’s good that you have this determination. However, encountering elite class individuals could end up getting yourself killed. Don’t be impulsive! Always prioritize the big picture. Losing your life isn’t worth it!" Chu Linfeng laughed. Although Ouyang Hong’s skills were decent, he could only hold his own in regular classes. In elite classes, any student might be able to take him on.

"Alright, I’ll go back immediately to tell them. If they’re willing to join, they can. If not, don’t force them." Ouyang Hong finished and turned to leave.

Tang Li and Yang Rui said nothing, each having their own thoughts. Seeing Chu Linfeng display the demeanor of a great leader, they were quite pleased inside. They truly wondered when they could leave this thrilling yet dangerous place.

Xue Jin Mountain spoke then, "Lin Feng, give me something to do next time, even though my strength isn’t great, I won’t be a burden. Now, I feel like a useless person, always needing protection."

"Haha, what are you talking about? Look, Tang Li and Yang Rui aren’t doing anything either. You’re my big brother and their big brother too. Big brothers don’t always have to do things. That’s what those younger ones are for?" Chu Linfeng laughed, understanding Xue Jin Mountain’s feelings well.

About an hour later, a student came running wildly, continuously shouting, "Boss, boss, there are Magical Beasts, lots of them!"

Soon, he reached Chu Linfeng, breathlessly saying, "Boss, we found Magical Beasts, at least a hundred of them. They’re not all that powerful. Murong Piaoxue is waiting for you!"

Chu Linfeng’s face lit up. So many Magical Beasts, and not very formidable, should be easy to deal with.

Just then, another two students ran back, with one saying, "Boss, we discovered a cave. The entrance is marked ’Spiritual Origin Cave.’ Niu Tian is waiting for you there."

"Boss, we saw a group of students fighting a herd of beasts. Should we help them?" Nearly all teams had sent people back with exciting news, leaving Chu Linfeng momentarily unsure how to choose.

Chu Linfeng frowned, helplessly glancing at Tang Li and Yang Rui, hoping they could provide some advice.

The two girls understood, "Let’s hunt the beasts first and complete the task early. The cave won’t run away; we can go later when we have time. As for helping, there’s no need. They might not want you helping, fearing you’d take their Demon Crystals." Yang Rui suggested.

Tang Li also nodded in agreement with Yang Rui’s viewpoint. Chu Linfeng found Yang Rui’s analysis reasonable, "You two go back and tell them to meet up at Murong Piaoxue’s location. We’re going to hunt beasts."

Then he told Xue Jin Mountain, "You can come too. Just take care of yourself and don’t let the beasts hurt you!"

"Am I really that bad? Although not as skilled as you, I can still manage to kill a few beasts. Don’t underestimate me." Xue Jin Mountain protested as soon as he heard Chu Linfeng.

Soon, Chu Linfeng and others followed their informant to Murong Piaoxue’s location. Seeing their arrival, Murong Piaoxue immediately stepped forward, saying, "Boss, though the beasts here aren’t of high level, there are so many. Should we wait for everyone before proceeding?"

Chu Linfeng carefully observed the distant beasts, which seemed like wolf-like creatures. The distance made it hard to see clearly, but the number definitely exceeded one hundred, a bit challenging.

"There are too many; let’s wait for everyone to come and then slay them together. These beasts don’t seem as weak as they appear. This clearly is their territory, and there might be a stronger leader."
