Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 728 - 20: You Call This a Beast Tamer?_4

"The Nine Heavens of Canghai actually refer to the nine continents floating in the void,"

"However, this time only five heavens have been opened, and the first barrier is the Great Arena."

The first barrier, named the Great Arena, has a simple rule: eliminate other Beast Tamers.

Eliminating a Sixth Grade Battle Beast yields 100 basic survival points, and if it’s a Beast Tamer, you also get half of the points they possess.

Eliminating a Fifth Grade Battle Beast yields 1,000 basic survival points, and if it’s a Beast Tamer, you also get half of the points they possess.

Eliminating a Fourth Grade Battle Beast yields 10,000 basic survival points. If it’s a Beast Tamer, you also get half of the points they possess.

Stay in the Great Arena for a full day, and the next day you receive 10,000 survival points!

If you’re eliminated, your points are halved.

Two months later, the second heaven will be opened, allowing entrance to the second barrier.

"This barrier is the most fiercely competitive,"

Zhao Xing carefully examined the map which showed his location.

"I am near ’Cangzhu Lake’ on the first heaven."

"There are only forty-six supply points nearby, and I’m afraid everyone who comes in will look for supply points first."

Because in the first heaven of Canghai Cave Heaven, the essence is extremely thin, relying on the absorption of essence between heaven and earth is not only difficult for battling, but even for maintaining the energy required for daily activities.

Meanwhile, you need to eliminate other contestants to gain points, so supply points become of utmost importance.

This is also why just now, so many people charged forward quickly, trying to find supply points as soon as possible.

"Not only can’t I absorb any essence, but even my own essence is slowly ebbing away," Zhao Xing frowned.

He looked down and immediately spotted the clue.

"The entire continent is probably under the influence of a Top-level Skill, with a series of ’Jiyuan Palaces’ embedded below."

"This rate of loss is minor, but after one day, a Perfect Fifth Grade, even if doing nothing, will have their essence halved; in two days, it will be completely drained."

Zhao Xing operated the Gathering Essence Skill, tightly locking his essence, but it was still slipping away.

"I am not a normal Perfect Fifth Grade; I have created a Pure Essence Space, and my essence has been strengthened by the Xuanhuang Analysis Technique and ten billion worth of resources. Theoretically, my level of essence is so abundant it should not be exhaustible."

"Yet it’s still depleting. Even if I forcefully lock it, I can only extend to six days."

His strength could not simply be measured by the standards of a normal Perfect Fifth Grade, and yet he could only last six days.

"Mountain Cat, Gray Lion, Spiritual Illusion Goat, they have different strengths so logically the speed of their essence loss should differ, but overall, it’s about four days."

"Does this mean, the stronger you are, the more you absorb?"

"There’s also a layer of mist in the first heaven in all four directions, continuously shrinking. After two months, it will shrink to the size of just a county-level city."

Zhao Xing understood that no matter if it’s Sixth, Fifth, or Fourth Grade, one must compete for the supplies at the supply point; otherwise, you simply can’t last a month.

And as soon as you compete for the supplies, you will encounter other people, and fighting becomes inevitable. Elimination will naturally be swift.

"Let’s go, we need to gather supplies!"

"Woof!" "Meow!" "Baa!"

Zhao Xing immediately deployed the Gang Wind Skill, swiftly flying towards the closest supply point.

Gathering supplies is crucial, at least enough for one person and three beasts to last a month.

The more, the better, because the ’Jiyuan Palace’ doesn’t just absorb essence when you’re not fighting – the time shortens during battle.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Riding on the Gang Wind, Zhao Xing felt the essence within his body depleting even faster. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Whether flying high or low, it’s the same; the Jiyuan Palace truly lives up to its reputation."

The Top-level Skill had a vast range, and Zhao Xing guessed that the entirety of the first heaven’s Great Arena was covered by the top-level Jiyuan Palace.

Unless one comprehended a Top-level Skill that could counter the Jiyuan Palace, there was no way to change the situation of essence depletion.

"The first supply point."

In less than five minutes of flying, Zhao Xing saw the supply point closest to him.

It was an ancient palace situated on a hillside.

Above the palace flew a Five-color Primordial Rice Flag.

"I’m in luck, the first palace is a Fifth Grade supply point, and so close."

Zhao Xing activated the Heavenly Eye to scan the surroundings and found there was no one else.

"The fortune of Yan Wu is not for nothing; not even a competitor in sight, I get to monopolize the supplies of this palace."

Zhao Xing charged in with Mountain Cat, Gray Lion, and Spiritual Illusion Goat.

Once inside, he found three large chests.

"Mountain Cat, unlock."

Cat Master waved his paw, and a streak of lightning flashed by, immediately smashing the locks on all three chests.

Zhao Xing looked closely and saw that each chest contained ten Fifth Order Elemental Crystals.

"They’re all Fifth-rank Middle-grade Elemental Crystals, enough to last us two and a half days."

"Pure Essence Projection!"

With a thought from Zhao Xing, a shadow engulfed the three chests.

Suddenly, thirty Fifth Order Elemental Crystals were collected.

If he didn’t have the Pure Essence Space, he would have to carry the supplies on his back.

Fifth Order Elemental Crystals were as big as water jars; carrying thirty of these jars while on the move?

It’s too conspicuous and very inconvenient.

Of course, if it was a denser Sixth Order Elemental Crystal, the size would be much smaller.

"Move on to the next location. Let’s go."

...

After clearing the first supply point, Zhao Xing immediately deployed fifty Ten Thousand Skill Avatars.

"Getting supplies is relatively easy at the beginning because the initial entry point is random. If you’re a bit lucky, even a weaker Beast Tamer could secure a large amount of supplies. After that, you’ll have to rely on seizing them."
