Chapter 641: Chant for Eating the Spicy Mini Lobsters
Hundreds of thousands of spicy mini lobsters were placed inside the Red Envelopes. On average, each of the members in the group managed to snatch around a dozen spicy mini lobsters – just enough to fill a small plate.
Yanwang: Wahahaha! It’s a new delicacy! My favorite! Look at the color of these small lobsters! Cooking it with this spicy fragrant sauce is damn near perfect! I’m literally drooling right now!
Zhu Bajie: It smells so good! I think the taste would be delicious as well! Bro Bei will never let us down!
Wei Xiaobao: Let’s cut the crap! Dig in! This is my first time seeing prawns like this!
The group was left in a quiet state after all the Red Envelopes were gone. Sitting at one of the stalls in the night market and ordering a few lobster skewers for himself, Chen Xiaobei was not worried about their response at all. It was as if he had everything under his control. Just as expected, the silence broke half an hour later.
Yanwang: F*ck! This is so delicious! It’s spicy and crunchy! It can totally be compared with spicy sticks! Awesome!
Xiao Tianquan: The flesh is so fresh and tender! I like the texture! Eating it with the spicy sauce is just heavenly!
Goddess Zixia: The taste is good but it can get kind of troublesome when we eat it… My hands and mouth are dirty…. This is so unfeminine!
Chang’e: You are right. I have no idea how to eat it like a lady as well.
Chen Xiaobei: Sisters! Don’t worry! Let me teach you a chant to eat those mini lobsters!
Chang’e: A chant? You make it sound like we are going to learn a martial art.
Goddess Zixia: Tell me now! Tell me now! Don’t keep us waiting!
Chen Xiaobei: Lift up your hands (grab the claws). Kiss it (taste it). Lift up the red veil (peel the shell from the head). Suck it hard (consume the eggs). Take off the bellyband (open up the stomach). Pull down the red pants (pull of the tail). Eat it up (enjoy the lobster flesh).
Goddess Zixia: This is great! Let me try it now!
Chang’e: It is no wonder you are crowned as the smartest person within these three realms! What a great way to teach us to eat these mini lobsters! I’m going to try it now as well!
Wei Xiaobao: This chant sounds so dirty! But, I like it! Hehehe!
Bull Demon King: Psst! This is too much for me! I ate the whole thing including the shell!
Silver Fox: Hubby! You are so not gentle! Xiaobei is hundred times gentler than you! Follow his way of eating these mini lobsters and you will get to enjoy its tastiness to the fullest!
God Erlang: This is so satisfying! God Chen’s way is the way!
Yanwang: This delicacy is just too damn delicious to finish them all in one go! I just managed to snatch fifteen of it! I have to save some for later!
Zhu Bajie: Shit! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I have finished all eighteen of them! I don’t think I have tasted it properly! Can someone give me a few?
Sha Wujing: Second Brother, you are still the same! Remember when you ate the Ginseng Fruit last time? You did the same thing as well! No one will be tricked by you anymore!
Zhu Bajie: Old Sha! You are no brother! I’m going to talk to you anymore! Who is the luckiest one here?! Please give me a few lobsters! I’m drooling so much that a river is forming!
Bull Demon King: That’s right! Who is the luckiest one here? I’m so jealous of the person!
God Erlang: The luckiest one must send a big Red Envelope to the group! Am I right?
God Erlang was still the same old deity. All he ever did was asking others to send Red Envelopes to the group. He would never send any Red Envelopes to the group. After that, everyone began to demand the luckiest one to send a big Red Envelope to the group.
Everyone: That’s right! The luckiest one is @Jiang Ziya! Red Envelope! Send now!
Everyone: One, two, three, four, five! We have waited for so long! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven! Don’t keep us waiting anymore!
Jiang Ziya: Ugh… Stop rushing me… I will send it right now…
That chant that he taught the group was used to hasten Chen Xiaobei initially. He did not expect that the group members would use it on him – making it no different from slapping his own face. It seemed like, the member in the group would not let Jiang Ziya off the hook before he sent a big Red Envelope to the group.
“Haha! In the end, the luckiest guy turned out to be Jiang Ziya! Using a few mini lobsters to force the old bastard to send a big Red Envelope to the group is so satisfying! I can totally imagine his reaction right now! Wahahaha!”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei rubbed his palms against each other and stood by for the Red Envelope to be sent to the group. During his stay in Zhong State, he had used up his last Pure Yang Talisman Sword. It would be nice if he could grab a few of it to replenish his armory.
Ding!
[Jiang Ziya just sends a Red Envelope to the group!]
Seeing a big Red Envelope appeared on his screen, Chen Xiaobei tapped on the screen with his finger at lightning speed. Recently, he just received a huge boost to his luck – did him a great favor in snatching the Red Envelope.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Jiang Ziya! You have acquired a piece of Pure Yang Thunder Catalyst! It has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
“What is that?”
With curiosity in his mind, Chen Xiaobei asked. However, he did not have time to check it out because the next of Red Envelopes was about to fall on him.
Yanwang: It’s a happy day! I suggest that we all send a Red Envelope to the group!
Everyone: No problem! Let’s not be stingy! Red Envelope rain! Let’s roll!
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of Red Envelope started to flood the group. Without saying a word, Chen Xiaobei began to tap on the screen with all his might. Clearly, he did not care about the kind of items that he snatched because all of them were valuable to him!
Ding!
[Congratulation! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Spider Demon! You have acquired a piece of Thousand Webs Bracelet! It has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
Ding!
[Congratulation! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Monkey King! You have acquired three Monkey Furs of Prosperity! It has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
Ding!
[Congratulation! You have snatched a Red Envelope from God Erlang! You have acquired a set of outdated Divine Soldier’s armor! It has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
“This God Erlang is a terrible deity! How dare he put an outdated item in his Red Envelope?!”
Before the Red Envelope wave ended, Chen Xiaobei managed to snatch three Red Envelopes but one of them was useless. He then thought again.
“God Erlang is such a stingy deity! It is not easy to make him to send a Red Envelope the group. Snatching his Red Envelope requires an insane amount of luck! Let’s just keep it in my treasure chest for now. I might be able to use it in the future.”
Upon seeing that the Red Envelope wave had ended, Chen Xiaobei tapped into his private chat room and sent a gift to his special friend.
Taiyin True Deity: Brother Xiaobei, why did you send me a Red Envelope suddenly?
Chen Xiaobei: I sent a big Red Envelope to the group today! Then, I realized that you are not in the group. So, I decided to send one to you via private chat.
Taiyin True Deity: Haha! You are so considerate! I can’t believe that you remembered to send me a Red Envelope!
Chen Xiaobei: Of course! I sought for your help when I was having difficulty. I will definitely not forget about you when I have good stuff!
Taiyin True Deity: What a good brother! I shall give you something in return! Brother, receive my private package!
Ding!
[Congratulation! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Taiyin True Deity…]
Chapter 642: Activate the Thunder Catalyst
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Taiyin True Deity. You have acquired a piece of Soul Consuming Enigmatic Jade. It has been stored in your treasure chest!]
Chen Xiaobei: I have received your Red Envelope! Thank you, my brother!
Taiyin True Deity: Brother, you are most welcome! I’m going to end the conversation here. The delicacy that you just send to me looks really yummy! It’s time to taste it!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright! Enjoy! Talk soon!
Keeping his cell phone, Chen Xiaobei finished the food on his table. He then looked for a spot with no people and take out his transport from his treasure chest. Stepping on the Somersault Cloud, Chen Xiaobei flew back to Bei Xuan Faction. After all, the Somersault Cloud was definitely more convenient than driving a car. The cloud had many benefits: lightning speed movement, zero wait time in traffic, and needless worrying about others tailing him.
Within two minutes, Chen Xiaobei finally reached Bei Xuan Faction. Though it was middle of the night, he did not plan to waste any time. Immediately, he drank a bottle of Hundred Herbs Potion to rejuvenate his strength.
“Let’s take a look at the Red Envelope that I snatched today.”
Sitting in the room that he trained his cultivation, Chen Xiaobei opened his treasure chest. Monkey Furs of Prosperity and outdated Divine Soldier’s armor could be skipped since Chen Xiaobei already knew their function.
Ding!
[Thousand Webs Bracelet: A One-Star Spiritual Item crafted by Spider Demon. It requires a hundred-year Dao Path to use it! (If one doesn’t have Dao Path, the person can spend Spiritual Qi to use the item). Your mind can command this item to shoot out a spider web that is as strong as steel! Do you wish to withdraw it?]
“Damn! With this bracelet, I can become Spiderman!”
He could not help but imagine that he could fly around the city with the spider web that shot out from the bracelet like Spiderman. Killing the Green Goblin would bring a group of beautiful ladies to him.
“Back to serious business. It’s strange that it requires Spiritual Qi to power up this item! Xiao Tianquan once told me that low-tier Magical Item like this does not require Dao Path to use it. Dao Path is only required for Spiritual Items.”
“However, the green jade gourd is a Spiritual Item as well. It doesn’t consume any… Hold on! The green jade gourd is filled with Spiritual Qi. I think it does consume a certain amount of Spiritual Qi when I use it! It’s just that I didn’t realize it!”
“I have to train harder if I want to become more powerful! All things can only be acquired through hard work! Let me test the item now!”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei took out the Thousand Webs Bracelet from his treasure chest. It was a silver bracelet. The whole thing looked like it was formed by hundreds of thousands of webs but its toughness was surprisingly hard and sturdy. A black image of a spider was imprinted in the middle of the bracelet – making it looked really cool.
“Let me charge myself up with Spiritual Qi. I want to know how much Spiritual Qi it would consume per usage.”
Chen Xiaobei then put on the bracelet and drank a mouthful of Spiritual Qi from the greed jade gourd. Soon, his Dantian was completely filled. After building a spiritual link with the bracelet, Chen Xiaobei knew how to use the bracelet.
*Whoosh*
Turning his wrist the same way Spiderman does, Chen Xiaobei shot out a string of spider web on the wall with this bracelet. One could see that the spider web was very sticky and strong. In order to test its strength, Chen Xiaobei pulled it as hard as possible. Still, nothing happened to it. Judging from its strength, the wall would fall first before the spider web broke. Its strength could be compared with the web produced by Spiderman.
Speaking of which, Spiderman’s web was an end product of genetic mutation. It was only a mortal item. On the other hand, the web that produced by the Thousand Webs Bracelet was an end item that was more powerful than a Magical Item! There was no way that mortal item could be compared with it!
*Shupp*
Controlling with his mind, the spider web went back inside his bracelet. After paying attention to the changes of his Dantian, Chen Xiaobei thought, “The consumption of Spiritual Qi for this item was still okay. I think I can use it for three minutes non-stop with the amount of Spiritual Qi that I consumed earlier! Judging from its toughness and stickiness, I believe that it can turn into a weapon. I can surprise my enemies with it and turn the tide around during a life-threatening circumstance.”
After that, Chen Xiaobei proceeded to check on the next Red Envelope.
Ding!
[Pure Yang Thunder Catalyst: It is a catalyst formed by pure Yang thunder between the sky and earth. It is a Nine-Stars Spiritual Item! It can be turned into a usable Spiritual Item! (Five hundred Dao Path or Five Thousand Spirit Stones are required to activate it!) Do you wish to withdraw it?]
“Damn! Five hundred Dao Path? Five thousand Spirit Stones?!”
Chen Xiaobei was taken aback. He was clueless about the value of five hundred Dao. However, he was familiar with the cost of five thousand Spirit Stones. During the last auction that he went to with Luo Puti, a Spirit Stone was being auctioned and the starting bid was one billion!
What that being said, five thousand Spirit Stones cost around five trillion! That was an astronomical amount of money! There was no way that Chen Xiaobei could come up with such a ridiculous amount of money!
“Actually, a Spirit Stone is just a stone that stores Spiritual Qi! All I need to do is let the catalyst consume the Spiritual Qi from my green jade gourd! That would do!”
After putting some thought into it, Chen Xiaobei took out the Pure Yang Thunder Catalyst from his treasure chest. The catalyst was as small as a chicken egg. A cloud of lightning was sealed inside the stone. From the surface, Chen Xiaobei could see that the cloud of lightning was rumbling about inside the stone but he could not feel anything from it.
“According to the message from the system, the lightning inside the catalyst is a Yang attribute lightning essence! It will be released once I activate it – becoming a material to create something bigger!
“I still remember that the Golden Eyes Divine Lion Fur was just a Three-Stars Spiritual Item. After using it to enhance my Maliang Divine Pen, the result was fantastic! Considering that this lightning essence is categorized as a Nine-Stars Spiritual Item, I think it would not disappoint me! It is certainly worth investing Spiritual Qi on it!”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei did what he thought was right. With one hand on the catalyst, he poured the Spiritual Qi from the gourd on it with the other. Like a black hole, it kept on devouring tons of Spiritual Qi. A mouthful of Spiritual Qi allowed Chen Xiaobei to train for twenty-four hours. Right now, a dozen days’ worth of training was pouring into the catalyst each second! Soon, almost one-third of Spiritual Qi inside the green jade gourd was gone. He thought that all that Spiritual Qi was wasted, but felt excited thinking about making a Spiritual Item that was more powerful than Maliang Divine Pen. Clearly, he believed this investment would eventually make him gain something valuable!
“Wahahaha…”
Suddenly, a crack started to form on the catalyst – like a thunder snake coming out from its shell.
*Poof*
The lightning essence was released when the catalyst cracked open. It circled around Chen Xiaobei’s palm – as if it was a live being.
*Buzz*
It made a crackling sound from time to time but did no harm to Chen Xiaobei. Like any other animal, Chen Xiaobei as the first thing it saw became its parent. Immediately, the Thunder Snake form a spiritual link with Chen Xiaobei. Not only would it not hurt Chen Xiaobei, but also allowed Chen Xiaobei to control it with his mind.
“So magical! Next, I need to turn it into a powerful Spiritual Item!”
Chapter 643: Invite from Wenyuan
The reason why the essence of lightning was sealed in a catalyst was that it would disappear in no time once exposed to the outside world. It needed a carrier and Chen Xiaobei already had an idea in his mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDuskdawn!
It was a perfect carrier for Pure Yang Thunder Catalyst because Duskdawn was a Pure Yang item as well.
*POM!*
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei controlled the Transmogrifying Flame that he possessed to burn his Duskdawn. Sanmei True Fire was not needed here because it was just a mortal item.
*Buzz*
*Buzz*
Soon, Duskdawn’s outer structure started to loosen up. Chen Xiaobei then transferred the lightning essence into the Duskdawn with another hand. As such, he did not need to worry about the lightning essence being dispersed into the thin air. It also allowed Chen Xiaobei to weaponize it – releasing lightning to attack others! Needless to say, this was one powerful Spiritual Item.
“All done!”
Sometime later, Duskdawn’s physical appearance finally emerged. A few lightning patterns were engraved on Duskdawn – making it looked like it was broken. However, a steady and powerful aura could be sensed exuding from it.
“Lightning! Rise!”
When Chen Xiaobei put on the ring, a huge lightning ball was formed in the air. Seemingly, it was filled with destructive power.
“This ball of lightning is weaker than Thunder Pool Tesseract but it is definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary enemies!”
After paying attention to the changes in his body, Chen Xiaobei realized that a lot of his Spiritual Qi inside his Dantian was being consumed.
“It seems like all the Spiritual Item requires Spiritual Qi to activate them. The more powerful the Spiritual Item, the more Spiritual Qi it consumes! Its consumption of Spiritual Qi is more than the Thousand Webs Bracelet! It’s no wonder that a lot of them from Red Envelope group told me that my Dao Path is not enough to wield their items! In that case, does it mean I can use the Spiritual Qi that I possess to use their Divine Items?”
“No… No way…”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei shook his head to shake off this crazy thought. Firstly, he did not possess a huge amount of Spiritual Qi. Even if he had enough Spiritual Qi to wield the Divine Items, he would not dare to borrow any of them from his friends.
‘Imagine if I borrowed Jingu Bang from Monkey King to make a big hole on the surface of the earth! Or Heavenly Red Silk Scarf from NeZha that could cause a mega tsunami! Or Heaven and Earth’s Enigmatic Flame Tower that could cause a catastrophic melting of the north and south pole! The earth is too weak to be tortured by all these Divine Items!’
“Come back!”
With his fingers bent, the lightning ball went back to Duskdawn.
“It seems like the name Duskdawn is not appropriate anymore. I should give it a new name… I shall call you Wrath Bolt!”
Chen Xiaobei then put it on his left thumb and continued to check on the last Red Envelope that he received.
Ding!
[Soul Consuming Enigmatic Jade: Taiyin True Deity acquired it when he traveled to Mount Black Wind. This One-Star Heavenly Jade contains the ability to consume souls. It can be used to craft something (It requires one thousand years of Dao Path or ten thousand Spirit Stone). Do you wish to withdraw it?]
“What the f*ck?!”
Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei did not whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to laugh because Taiyin True Deity was too generous. The item in his Red Envelope was higher tier than the Pure Yang Thunder Catalyst and it was simply not possible to use it in the human realm. On the other hand, he wanted to cry because it required too much Spiritual Qi to activate it.
Initially, Chen Xiaobei thought that he would not need to worry about lacking Spiritual Qi anymore since he acquired the green jade gourd. Unfortunately, activating Pure Yang Thunder Catalyst had consumed one-third of the Spiritual Qi that Chen Xiaobei stored in Green Jade Gourd. The rest of it would definitely be used up if he decided to activate the Soul Consuming Enigmatic Jade.
“I think I need to leave it aside first. Now, I need to prioritize my cultivation! Also, I need to grow a few pairs of mother-child voodoo worms! All of them need a lot of Spiritual Qi! I will consider activating the Soul Consuming Enigmatic Jade when I find more Spiritual Qi!”
At that moment, Chen Xiaobei was still calm. He would definitely not do something stupid by pushing himself into a pit. After picking up the pieces, Chen Xiaobei got back to his training immediately. Considering that he had managed to raise his health to twenty thousand, this time he could fully focus on training the Scripture of Heaven and Earth. No one was there to interrupt him because it was in the middle of the night. Soon, Chen Xiaobei entered the zone.
It was now early the next morning. With the help of Scripture of Heaven and Earth, Chen Xiaobei managed to increase his combat power by six hundred! He now had twelve thousand and six hundred combat power! Proceeding with this speed, he could easily achieve pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage within a week!
The sky was finally brightened up by the sun. Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei’s cell phone rang.
“Hello? Wenyuan? Why are you calling me early in the morning? Aren’t you going to sleep longer?”
“Xiaobei, you idiot! I’ve told you before that I’ve given up the habit of waking up late ever since I came to Dragon City! I’m really busy with filming!”
“Yes. You did mention it to me some time ago…”
After doing a short self-reflection, Chen Xiaobei realized that he had not shown his concern to Wenyuan recently. Honestly, he felt bad about it. However, Wenyuan did not get angry at him.
On the contrary, she asked, “Xiaobei hubby, do you have time to keep me company today?”
“I have the time! I will go and pick you up later!”
“Yay! I will be waiting for you!”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei packed and left the house. So far, the path for Wenyuan to becoming a famous actress was smooth sailing. She was no longer an extra. Recently, she was assigned with some supporting character roles – provided her the opportunity to perform more in front of the camera. The place that she was staying at right now was sponsored by her filming crew.
There were a few luxurious cars parked in front of the hotel when Chen Xiaobei arrived at where he was supposed to meet Wenyuan. Though the Mercedes S class that drove by Chen Xiaobei was already quite pricey, it still could not compare with those cars that parked in front of the hotel.
Beside those cars stood a group of good-looking youngsters chatting with one another. Judging from their outlook and attire, there was a high chance that those young men were sons of filthy rich families. On the other hand, the girls were definitely from the filming crew. From far, Chen Xiaobei could see that Wenyuan was in the group as well.
“Wenyuan!” Chen Xiaobei hollered when he got down from the car.
“Eeek! My boyfriend is here!”
Jumping excitedly, Wenyuan ran over to Chen Xiaobei’s side. Upon seeing that, all the youngsters around Wenyuan were unhappy with her reaction.
“So, that is Wenyuan’s boyfriend? The car that he drives worth around one million! How brazen of him to go after a superstar!”
One of the rich young men purposely shook his Patek Philippe watch that cost around three million and glared at Chen Xiaobei in a condescending manner.
“That’s right! I just can’t fathom why she would reject Master’s Zhou pursuit because of this insignificant man!”
“Eh?”
Upon hearing the comment, one of the gentle and polite looking young men harrumphed, a dark aura emanating from him.
Chapter 644: Looking Down on the Wrong Person
This young man was dressed in a French designer tailored suit; extremely extravagant and intimidating. It was obvious that he was the leader of the group. He was also the popular Master Zhou in those women’s conversations. One ‘hmph’ from him and those around him all quieten down.
The man that wore Patek Philipe quickly glared his female companion and barked, “Stupid woman! What the f*ck did you just say? Do you mean that Master Zhou is beneath that retard?”
“NO! That’s not what I meant… Master Zhou is a million times better than him in a million ways!” The woman went pale with fright. She quickly explained herself, “I meant to say that Wenyuan has lost her mind, that’s why she rejected Master Zhou!”
“Next time, make it clear!” Zhou Huajiang waved her off. His darkened face lightened up a little.
“Yes… I will certainly remember that!” The woman nodded urgently.
Even though she was a minor movie star, when in Zhou Huajiang’s presence, she was as humble as a common person.
It was conceivable that Zhou Huajiang’s status was not at all lowly. In fact, he might be even more influential than these little movie stars.
With Zhou Huajiang’s anger dissipated, the crowd began to relax and began to chide Chen Xiaobei.
“That guy is nobody! All you need to do is take one look at him and you’ll know! He is not even worthy to be in Master Zhou’s shoes!”
“That’s right! Master Zhou don’t even need to lift a finger to crush him! Crush him a hundred times!”
“Right! This time, we’ll make that asshole crumble! Then Wenyuan will surely run into Master Zhou’s arms!”
…
The crowd continued to disparage Chen Xiaobei, and applaud Zhou Huajiang like he was Bodhisattva.
But Zhou Huajiang could not be bothered with them – he was busy seizing up Chen Xiaobei.
“Xia Tao, why do I get the feeling that I’ve seen this idiot before? Does he not look like that Chen Xiaobei, the recent heavy hitter?
Zhou Huajiang said under his breath, “If that’s the guy, we definitely cannot touch him!”
“There’s no way that’s him!” Xia Tao shook his head and said, “Chen Xiaobei is now way too famous to come out in broad daylight! He would’ve been swarmed by the paparazzi!”
After a while, Xia Tao added, “In fact, Wenyuan is only but an entertainer under Qin Cheng Entertainment and Chen Xiaobei is Qin Cheng Entertainment’s president’s fling! There’s no way Wenyuan would dare to try and take her man!”
“Hm… That’s right.” Zhou Huajiang quickly nodded and said, “Boss Song is not just any person! Her background is scary – she is a woman of extreme capabilities! Nobody in the company dares disobey – even when she had just taken over Xi Xiang Entertainment! Wenyuan wouldn’t dare to do such a thing!”
“This guy is surely not Chen Xiaobei!”
The actresses next to them piled on, “We’ve seen on him on Weibo before! This guy lacks the air of dominance that Chen Xiaobei has! He’s way too different from Chen Xiaobei! He merely looks like him. That’s it!”
Zhou Huajiang narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “As long as that idiot is not Chen Xiaobei! If not, I really wouldn’t dare lay hands on him!”
The actresses bobbed their heads discreetly, knowing full well how powerful Chen Xiaobei was.
But the group of filthy rich youngsters were absolutely clueless and asked curiously, “Master Zhou, is Chen Xiaobei as powerful as they say he is? Isn’t he just another kept-man? Surely a man of your standing can squash him like a bug?”
“You have no idea!” Zhou Huajiang lowered his voice and said, “Director Feng and Boss Song exalt Chen Xiaobei! It’s not a coincidence that he became the number one actor in the entertainment world! That means that he is China’s number one celebrity! I’d be lucky if I could rub shoulders with him! How could I even think of crushing him? That’s a pipe dream!”
“The hell! That’s way too good to be true!” Those filthy rich youngsters gasped.
Their statuses were all lower than Zhou Huajiang so if even Zhou Huajiang can only hope to be in passing contact with Chen Xiaobei, there was no hope for them!
“That’s not all!” Zhou Huajiang furrowed his brows and said solemnly, “Chen Xiaobei has singlehandedly performed those special moves in the movies without any special effects! His ability is one hundred percent real! His abilities are supernatural! I’m afraid he is an elite of a highly reputable faction in Jianghu!”
“What?! Chen Xiaobei really is an elite from a faction? Oh my god! That’s even more unthinkable!” Their mouths hung open in a wide ‘O’.
In their eyes, Jianghu elite was just like those masters the martial arts movies with remarkable abilities! They were usually not restricted by the norms in society – making them a higher level human.
“Who would’ve thought that Chen Xiaobei would’ve such an important identity!”
“Thank god you filled us in. If we ever meet him, we must treat him like our master!”
“Yeah! We cannot afford to cross someone of his standing! We’ll butter him up if we ever get the chance!”
…
They could not help but voice their respects for Chen Xiaobei.
Just then, Wenyuan walked over together with Chen Xiaobei. “Everyone, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Chen…”
“Oh, Little Chen is it? There is no need for introductions!”
Xia Tao cut her off mid-sentence and said, “Let’s go! The car’s ready. We need to get to Mount Tom Hunting Field before noon! Master Zhou’s friends are waiting to have lunch with us!”
“Yeah! Let’s go now! Master Zhou’s friends are big shots! It wouldn’t do us good to be late!”
The crowd quickly dispersed, not even so much as glancing at Chen Xiaobei.
None of them would have been able to figure out that the guy that they were deliberately ignoring was the Chen Xiaobei they so admired and respected!
How ignorant!
“Hey! Come back… Urgh… I’m so pissed!” Wenyuan snapped.
“Wenyuan, we don’t need their approval.” Chen Xiaobei wore a look of complete placidity. “I came here today to be with you. I cannot be bothered to fraternize with this bunch of nobodies.”
“Xiaobei, you are so imperious! Let’s ignore them and have fun on our own!” Wenyuan smiled, already forgetting about what had just happened, took his hands and led him to the car.
…
As he drove, Chen Xiaobei asked, “Wenyuan, they are a bunch of no-goods. Why do you hang out with them?”
“Because Zhou Huajiang wants to pursue me! He paid all my directors to make me go out with him! Also, I was thinking of going on a trip myself, that’s why I agreed to come.” Wenyuan fluttered her glistening eyes at him and said slyly, “At least I have Chen Xiaobei with me. Then Zhou Huajiang wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble!”
“You are such a sly elf,” Chen Xiaobei laughed affectionately and said, “Why are we going to the hunting ranch? It sounds pretty interesting.”
“I’ve never been there.” Wenyuan pouted and said, “Zhou Huajiang boasted that that was where the emperors used to hunt. Then some VIP donated a piece of land and made it a private hunting ranch. And it’s very exclusive.”
“VIP?” Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes. “This is the direction to Xuanjian Faction.”
Chapter 645: I’m Not Interested
At Mount Tom Hunting Ground.
A rustic looking wooden house was built at the entrance of the hunting ground. It was surrounded by a lush jungle. The moment they parked their cars, a man in his thirties walked towards them to welcome them.
“Master Zhou, I have not seen you coming here for quite some time!”
Seemingly, this man was pretty close to Zhou Huajiang.
“Yea. I’m quite busy recently. I should have gotten in touch with you sooner.”
Immediately, Zhou Huajiang tucked away his arrogant manner and responded politely.
“Master Zhou, is he the one that you mentioned all time? The one that is in Xuanjian Faction?!” asked Xia Tai in a shocking manner.
Upon hearing the name Xuanjian Faction, everyone around him could not help but look awestruck. In their subconscious, they would pay their utmost respect to those people that joined some random factions in Jianghu. Realizing a disciple of the top Jianghu faction was standing in front of them, they felt like they should worship him like an idol. The way they looked at him was akin to looking at someone that stood at the top of the world.
“It’s just a misunderstanding! My role here is to help Elder Qi to take care of this hunting ground. I don’t think I’m powerful enough to join Xuanjian Faction anyway.”
“Brother Liu! You are way too humble! Though you did not join Xuanjian Faction, I can see that Elder Qi always guides you on your training! In other words, you can be considered as Elder Qi’s disciple! Honestly speaking, I’m really jealous of you! I wish I have an opportunity like that as well!”
Upon hearing the compliment that was meant for him, he could not help but put on a look of pride.
“Master Zhou, who is Elder Qi? Do you mind telling us?” asked Xia Tao in a curious manner.
At the same time, everyone else straightened their ears and paid attention to Brother Liu. Their blood was boiling after knowing that Zhou Huajiang was jealous of Brother Liu. Every single one of them was imagining being chosen by Elder Qi – dreaming of transforming into a powerful and influential person in Jianghu.
“Elder Qi is one of the elders in Xuanjian Faction! A half-step True Nirvana elite! His status is extremely powerful in Jianghu! No doubt, he is an omega level elite! My biggest dream is to become someone like Brother Liu! I want to become Elder Qi’s disciple as well!”
At the same time, Zhou Huajiang shifted his attention to Wenyuan unconsciously. Clearly, he wanted to show off in front of her to impress her. That was the real purpose he brought Wenyuan here. However, Wenyuan did not even bother to look at him. All she did was hold on to Chen Xiaobei and spend some quality time with him. Immediately, Zhou Huajiang’s face darkened.
Seconds later, Brother Liu noticed something unpleasant must have happened. He then quickly said, “Everyone! Follow me! I have prepared a simple lunch for you guys! At night, we will have something nice for dinner after the hunt!”
Since everyone came here to hunt, none of them mind the simple lunch. They just wanted to start the hunting game.
“Let me explain some hunting rules! So, the fee for hunting is eight thousand per entry! You need to pay extra if you want some other services. A crossbow costs three thousand per day. A hunting hound costs five thousand per day. The guide costs ten thousand per day!”
Everyone was taken aback after hearing the hunting costs. Easily, one could spend tens of thousands in one day! All those rich youngsters were not as rich as the four top young masters of Dragon City. Naturally, it was hard for them to bear such high hunting costs since they wanted to pay for their female companions.
“Everyone! Don’t worry! I have everything covered! Just pick anything you like! Brother Liu is going to be our guide and he will provide us with hunting hounds as well! Safety should be prioritized over everything! It’s totally not necessary to help me to save money! Just splurge!” said Zhou Huajiang with a smile on his face.
After that, he took a look at Wenyuan once again. He thought he could impress Wenyuan this time since he was acting all generous and nice. Unfortunately, Wenyuan still did not bother to look at him. She was still chatting happily with Chen Xiaobei. Leaving him frustrated, he glared at Chen Xiaobei. It was as if he wanted to eat him alive. On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei did not pay much attention to him because all he wanted today was to keep Wenyuan happy. He could afford to buy the whole hunting ground if that was Wenyuan’s wish.
Brother Liu then led the crowd to choose their hunting equipment.
“We only do traditional hunting here. Hence, there will be no guns. You can either choose a crossbow or mechanical crossbow as your hunting weapon. I would recommend the men to use a crossbow. Using the crossbow to hunt is definitely a challenge for our arms. It has a far shooting range and its killing power is pretty powerful as well. It can easily kill animals like deer and Siberian roe deer. As for the ladies, I would recommend you to choose a mechanical crossbow. It’s easier for you to load arrows in it. It saves you strength but its shooting range is rather short. Its killing power will be reduced greatly if you want to shoot something of greater distance. The animals that you can hunt would be limited to chickens and rabbits.”
Upon hearing his recommendation, everyone followed his advice. All the men chose the crossbow and the women chose the mechanical crossbow. This brand-new thing that they were about to experience made everyone felt really excited. Even Wenyuan could not resist being curious. She put the mechanical crossbow in her hand and tried to aim something with it.
“Wow! Brother Liu! Why is your crossbow different from everyone else?!”
He was using a bow as his hunting weapon instead of a crossbow. Its body was bigger and the bowstring was thicker– making it looked really cool.
“This is a Godly Bow. It requires a thousand pounds of force to pull the string. I will need it to kill ferocious beast if we encounter one later.”
“Good heavens! One thousand pounds! Brother Liu, you are too powerful! You must be Elder Qi’s most powerful disciple! A superhuman!”
Immediately, everyone was awestruck. They idolized him even more now. To them, only bears and tigers possessed a thousand pounds of force. It was not possible for an ordinary human being to do something like that. On the other hand, a thousand pounds of force was nothing to Chen Xiaobei and Wenyuan. After knowing that his combat power was less than three thousand, they finally understood why was Brother Liu rejected by Xuanjian Faction.
“Mister, are you going to pick a bow?”
Striding towards Chen Xiaobei, Brother Liu gave him an odd look.
“Just pick a mechanical bow as your hunting weapon if you think you are not strong enough to handle a crossbow! Wait… Please don’t tell me you are weaker than a girl!”
Upon hearing the comment, Zhou Huajiang took the initiative to laugh at Chen Xiaobei. Following that, everyone began to laugh at him too. Clearly, Brother Liu was trying to embarrass Chen Xiaobei on purpose to avenge Zhou Huajiang.
“No need. These are toys for kids. I’m not interested in them.”
Chapter 646: A Bet About Hunting
Toys for kids?
Upon hearing Chen Xiaobei’s comment about the hunting weapon, everyone was angry.
“Bastard! What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that we all are kids?”
“This bastard is just trying to act tough in front of us! He can’t even use a crossbow! I wonder why Wen Yuan would like a guy like him!”
“Clearly, he is trying to act all masculine and stuff! Wenyuan will definitely leave him if she finds out that he is just a wuss!”
“With the way he acts, he is worse than a wuss! Let’s not argue with people like him!”
…..
The crowd was mocking him in a condescending manner.
“Ms. Wen, come with us. I will make sure you get to enjoy this hunting trip to the fullest! With the animals that we are about to hunt down, I’m pretty we will have a table of delicious dishes tonight!”
Seeing that there was an opportunity to please Wenyuan, Zhou Huajiang acted upon it immediately.
“Nope! My boyfriend is more powerful than you think! I’ll be fine.”
“Him? He is a wuss that can’t use a crossbow! What can he provide for you? He might need to work for us in the future!”
“You are the wuss! If you think you are so good, come and compete with my boyfriend! Criticize him whatever way you like after you defeat him!”
“What did you just say? Compete with him? You’ve got to be kidding!”
“What now? You don’t have the balls?”
“Haha! Ms. Wen! You are so adorable! My balls are made of steel! Well, just don’t call me a bully after I defeat him! I come here every three days to hunt! Almost every time, I would end up with a fruitful result! With my hunting skill, I’m completely qualified to become a hunting guide! You don’t have anything on me!”
Again, the crowd laughed at Chen Xiaobei. To them, he was going to lose the competition no matter what.
“Let’s move on. A competition like this has no meaning. Master Zhou’s hunting skill is almost on the same level as me. Let alone kid like you! Not even an ordinary hunter can be compared to Master Zhou!”
The crowd looked down on Chen Xiaobei even more after listening to Brother Liu’s compliment. Even Wenyuan was shaken now. She knew that Chen Xiaobei’s combat power was really high but this competition was about hunting skills. She was worried that Chen Xiaobei would beat himself down if he lost in this competition.
As usual, Chen Xiaobei stared at Brother Liu in a calm manner.
“With that being said, it seems like you are the best hunter here.”
“That’s right! How can I help you?” asked Brother Liu pridefully.
“Come and compete with me. The rest of them are not qualified to challenge me!”
“What?!”
The crowd was taken aback after hearing Chen Xiaobei’s bold claim.
“Motherf*cker! Can you not act tough anymore?! F*ck!”
“Remember! You are just a piece of garbage! You should feel honored if any of us here accept your challenge!”
“You want to compete with Brother Liu? I must say that you are overconfident!”
…..
“Everyone! Calm down! I shall accept his challenge since Mr. Chen insists on competing with me! However, I don’t normally accept challenges like this! There needs to be prize if you want to challenge me!”
“What kind of prize you want?”
“Easy. Break up with Ms. Wen if you lose! A weakling like you does not deserve her!”
Clearly, Brother Liu was doing Zhong Huajiang a great favor. Upon hearing that, Zhou Huajiang was really pleased. He responded to his favor with a grateful look on his face.
“Alright! What if I win in this competition?”
“This is the key to my newly bought Ferrari! It’s yours if you win in this competition!”
Without waiting for Brother Liu to reply, Zhou Huajiang took the initiative to offer his car as the prize. Everyone’s breathing intensified after witnessing Zhou Huajiang’s bold move. That car cost around four million. Thought most of them were rich young men, they could only dream of owning a car like that.
The smart ones would know that Zhou Huajiang was just trying to show off his boldness. Clearly, he did not think Chen Xiaobei would win in the competition. He was more than willing to offer his life as the prize if Chen Xiaobei asked him to do so.
To their surprise, Chen Xiaobei nodded his head and said, “Okay! Challenge accepted!”
“Great! That is just great! Let’s go now!”
Feeling happy, Zhou Huajiang had already seen himself as the winner of this competition. On the other hand, the rest of the people were looking at Chen Xiaobei and thought that he was an idiot.
After that, all of them left the wooden house and entered the jungle. The winner of a hunting competition would naturally be determined by the animals that they killed. After a simple discussion, both of them had decided that the size of their game was going to determine the winner for this hunting competition. Brother Liu was walking in front of the team. On the other hand, the other three guides were guiding the horse carts in the direction that they were heading. Eight hunting hounds were following behind them – making the whole thing look really grand!
All of them enjoyed themselves immensely from killing birds and rabbits. Under the guidance of Zhou Huajiang and three other guides, they did manage to kill quite a number of small animals that roamed around the jungle – it was more than enough for dinner.
Chen Xiaobei and Wenyuan were following behind them with a good distance between them.
“Xiaobei… Are you going to lose in this competition? It’s my bad! I shouldn’t have mentioned any competition! I have forgotten that they are really good at hunting!”
Clearly, Wenyuan had lost the mood to enjoy the hunt anymore. Her joy was replaced by worry.
“Don’t worry. Just let them enjoy the moment while they still can afford to do so. I will be the last winner!”
*Woof!*
*Woof!*
*Woof!*
Suddenly, the hunting hounds were barking non-stop.
“What happened?”
Everyone felt tense up suddenly.
“The hunting hounds are giving us a warning! Dangers are closing in on us!” said Zhou Huajiang.
“No way. We just entered the jungle not too long ago. The real danger is normally hidden in the deeper part of the jungle,” said Brother Liu.
“Brother Liu… Normally, why would hunting hounds bark like this? Like what kind of danger?” asked Xia Tao in a fearful manner.
“The hunting hounds that we train are not afraid of wolves! However, they could smell a bear or tiger miles away. That’s why they bark non-stop!”
“Tigers and bears? Dear lord…”
“The most terrifying animal in this jungle is not a bear and tiger! It’s a wild boar!”
Speak of the devil!
A wild boar was standing several hundred meters in front of them!
“Wild… Wild boar!”
Everyone was taken aback, including Brother Liu!
Chapter 647: Kill the King of Wild Boars Within a Second
“Just a wild boar? What’s so scary about it? Let’s aim at it together! Kill it and we can help Master Zhou win this bet!”
Regaining his composure, Xia Tao lifted the crossbow in his hand.
“Don’t do anything stupid! Do not ever mess with the wild boars that live deep inside this old jungle! You have to know that they always rub their bodies against the trees and bathe in mud! In other words, the combination of tree oil and mud becomes a layer of natural armor on their bodies! The longer the time the thicker the armor!
“Not even bullet can penetrate the skin of an adult wild boar! Plus, their strength is so powerful that even tigers are afraid of them! This wild boar that stands in front of us weighs at least one thousand pounds! A single tackle from it can cause a bear cough out blood. Puny humans like us will become a blob of mushy flesh if it tackles us!”
“This… This is so scary… Let’s leave… It’s suicidal to stay here!”
Everyone nodded their heads with the intention to leave this place immediately. They would not dare to risk their lives even if they had ten guts in them!
“Brother Liu. Do you think you can kill a wild boar like that?” Zhou Huajiang asked in a soft and doubtful tone.
“Not a big problem. However, I think something wrong is going on! Wild boars like that can only be found in the deeper parts of this jungle. What made it come out of its usual zone today?”
Right after that, Brother Liu placed the Godly Crossbow in his hand.
“That is not the concern now! Brother Liu, just shoot and kill it! I will definitely reward you abundantly after you help me to win this bet!”
“Alright! Leave it to me! You guys stay here!”
Taking a tough and thick metal arrow and placing it on his bow, Brother Liu began to move towards the wild boar cautiously while lowering his body.
“Everyone! Don’t worry! Brother Liu is here. We will be fine!”
Zhou Huajiang waved his arms at the crowd to indicate that they should not worry over this wild boar.
“I think we will be fine since Master Zhou told us that nothing bad will happen! Look at that! Brother Liu’s movement is so skillful! I’m pretty sure he takes out wild boars like this all the time!”
Seeing Brother Liu’s confident move, their fear started to fade slowly.
“No more worries! With an elite like Brother Liu helping us to kill this wild boar, let’s just wait to enjoy some wild boar meat later tonight!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Luckily Brother Liu is on our side! I’m so going to give him a few toasts tonight!”
“Don’t just stand there! Take out your cell phone and take a few pictures of it! We don’t get to see this kind of thing all the time! We then can show it off on our Weibo! Wahahaha!”
….
Soon, the crowd was getting really excited. On the other hand, Brother Liu had already entered the perfect range to kill the wild boar. With both of his hands pulling the bowstring of Godly Bow, he aimed at the wild boar.
*Swoosh*
The arrow flew towards the wild boar once he let go of the string. At the same time, all the young boys and girls were so excited that they could not wait to cheer for him. However, they were taken aback when they saw what happened next. One should know that Godly Bow required a thousand pounds of force to wield it and the metal arrow was extremely sharp – the power of both items was definitely more powerful than a bullet! To their surprise, the arrow bounced off the wild boar when it landed on its body. There was only a finger-sized scratch left on his skin. It did not even penetrate his thick armor.
“How… How is this even possible? Could it be… the wild boar king from the deepest part of this jungle?”
There was no damage done on the wild boar since the arrow could not penetrate its skin. On the contrary, it was angered.
*Squeal!*
*Squeal!*
The wild boar squealed and glared at Brother Liu. Immediately, it charged at Brother Liu. From the surface, wild boar might look heavy and slow but its charging speed surprisingly fast! Properties like its body, force, and speed made this wild boar look like a speeding heavy duty truck! Dust and sand rose to the sky and the earth trembled whenever it landed a step on the ground. All the trees and rocks were destroyed on the path it traveled. There was nothing that could stop it anymore.
“Oh my god… Run! Everybody! Run!”
Screaming fearfully, Brother Liu sprinted. According to his experience, if the Godly Bow could not kill the target; his combat power was definitely not enough to deal with it. In other words, he was only left with an option – run!
“W-What the hell is going on?”
Left in bewilderment, all those rich young boys and actresses could not believe what just happened to them.
‘I thought Brother Liu assured us that everything is going to be fine? I thought we are supposed to relax? I thought we are going to enjoy wild boar flesh tonight? Damn it! F*cking lies!’
Immediately, everyone including Zhong Huajiang tossed their hunting weapons and cell phones on the ground. Following that, they came up with all their strength and stamina to run for their lives. Clearly, they were all freaked out. However, all of them were just ordinary people. There was simply no way for them to outrun the pursuit of a wild boar!
*Rumble*
Like a heavy duty truck, the wild boar destroyed everything on its path – including some huge trees. Seeing that the gap between them and the wild boar was getting closer and closer, they would definitely be killed when it caught up to them.
“Brother Liu! Help! Please save us!” They started to ask for help in a hysterical manner. It seemed like Brother Liu was their last hope.
“It’s useless to ask me to save all of you! That beast over is ruthless! I don’t want to die yet! Just pray now!”
Immediately, Brother Liu ran as fast as possible and left all of them behind him. Usually, the ugliest side of a human being will be presented during a life-threatening situation.
“Eh?!”
Suddenly, baffled looks could be seen on their faces. They never thought that Chen Xiaobei would be bold enough to stride towards the wild boar.
“Is that kid insane? Is he trying to kill himself?”
“He wants to sacrifice himself to buy us more time? Isn’t he noble?”
“Kid! Good one! All of us will be saved if you sacrifice yourself! We will definitely burn a lot of paper money for you!”
…..
Right after that, all of them started to run like there was no tomorrow. To them, Chen Xiaobei would definitely be killed by the wild boar no matter what. They were hoping that Chen Xiaobei could buy them more time before he died.
“Why am I competing with a bunch of retarded fools? This is so boring!”
Lowering his body, Chen Xiaobei picked up a stone from the floor and threw it at the wild boar casually.
*Bop!*
A muffled sound could be heard. Before they realized it, the humongous wild boar was killed! The force caused it to slide on the ground after it was killed. Finally, it stopped in front of Chen Xiaobei. At that moment, everyone else stood their ground like a statue.
“I have won this competition. Is there anything you want to say?”
Chapter 648: Hundred Beasts Formation
Baffled, no one could fathom the indestructible and all-powerful wild boar was killed by Chen Xiaobei.
“Oh my god! Am I dreaming? Did that wild boar just collapse and die?”
“Look at the head of that wild boar! There is a hole in the middle of his head! It is bleeding! Seemingly, something had penetrated its skull!”
“This is unbelievable! Normally, the skull is the hardest part of a wild boar!”
“Not even the Godly Bow can do any single damage on that wild boar! That kid just put a hole in its head! It seems like he is hundreds of times stronger than Brother Liu!”
…..
Everyone was taken aback. Meanwhile, Brother Liu was truly embarrassed by his incompetence. Considering that he just boasted that his hunting skill was definitely better than Chen Xioabei, the slap that Chen Xiaobei landed on his face was extra loud and hard! At the same time, everyone around him was staring at him in a condescending manner. His cowardice disappointed all those that trusted him earlier.
“How did that kid do it… That is simply not possible…”
No matter how long he took, Brother Liu could not figure out how Chen Xiaobei killed that wild boar. Zhou Huajiang and his buddies were just as baffled as Brother Liu.
“Master Zhou… Are we going to surrender now?”
Xia Tao asked in a fearful manner.
“Surrender? Never! That bastard has a gun on him! Without a gun, there is no way that he can put a hole on the wild boar’s head! He just broke the rule!” said Zhou Huajiang.
Upon hearing Zhou Huajiang’s deduction, the crowd was not that shocked anymore.
“That’s right! All of us here were running for our lives just now! I bet that bastard must have used a gun on that wild boar when we stopped paying attention to him!”
“If that’s the case, I’m not surprised that he could put a hole on the wild boar’s head!”
“Clearly, he was taking advantage of the chaotic circumstance! He was breaking the rules! There is no way that I will allow him to win this competition!”
…
To them, Chen Xiaobei had carried a gun with him since the very beginning and he just used his gun to kill the wild boar. All he did was trying to act cool in front of everyone. However, they had no idea that in order to put a hole in the wild boar’s head, one needed to shoot it with a sniper rifle at close range.
“Bastard! That wild boar cannot be considered as your trophy! Let’s carry on with the competition!” said Zhou Huajiang arrogantly.
“Are you sure you want to stay here to risk your life?”
“Risk my life? What… What do you mean by that? This is a society regulated by law! Hurt us and you will be sent to jail!”
“Idiotic f*cker!”
It had been some time since Chen Xiaobei scolded someone using vulgarities.. Undeniably, Zhou Huajiang was simply too stupid.
“Think about it! Why would a wild boar that is supposed to live in the deeper part of the jungle come?”
“H-how should I know that?! I can’t communicate with a wild boar!”
Taken aback, Zhou Huajiang gulped.
“Run! Run now!”
Suddenly, Brother Liu’s terrified scream could be heard from far. Right after he screamed, he started to run at full speed – ignoring everyone behind him.
“What is going on?”
Bewildered, everyone shifted their attention from Chen Xiaobei to a further spot.
“Dear god… Run… Run now…”
Zhou Huajiang and the rest of them almost peed their pants when they saw something terrifying that was not far from them. Immediately, all of them began to run for their lives. Around ten adult wild boar stood at where the wild boar king appeared earlier. The most unbelievable part was there were tigers, black bears, and jackals. Other than the huge sized carnivorous creatures, they could see creatures that carried poison like snakes, scorpions, and bees. From afar, it looked like a huge group of animals migrating to another place.
“Xiaobei hubby! What is going on?” Wenyuan asked, visibly shocked.
“Clearly, someone is using some special methods to make all these animals move over here. If not, there is no way that all of them appear here at the same time!”
With his eyes narrowed, Chen Xiaobei tried to look as far as possible. He could not care less about those ferocious beasts. All he wanted to do was to look for the person that controlled all these beasts.
“Who would that be?”
Frowning, Wenyuan was nervous but she was not afraid at all. Before she reclaimed her body, she had seen a lot of terrifying scenes when she traveled around with Chen Xiaobei. Naturally, she was bolder than most ordinary people.
“Stay here. I want you to run as fast as possible if something goes wrong! Understood?”
“Yes. Do you think you can handle it alone?”
Considering that she had not seen Chen Xiaobei get involved in combat for quite some time, she had absolutely no idea about his current combat power. It was no wonder that she was worried about him.
“The enemies’ target is me. They wouldn’t let me go even if I can’t deal with them alone!”
From afar, Chen Xiaobei could see a person standing there. The man was wearing a ninja outfit – both of his hands were holding a long black flute. A strange melody could be heard from afar.
Ninja from Japan!
This ninja was definitely here to kill Chen Xiaobei. They had been laying low for quite some time since Chen Xiaobei killed Dongtiao Wugui and destroyed the Octadic Spectral Squad at Bei Xuan Faction. Now, they finally decided to send another assassin to kill him. Seemingly, they had not given up on capturing Chen Xiaobei; the ninja that they assigned to kill Chen Xiaobei was definitely more difficult to deal with this time.
“Stay here. Okay? Don’t distract me.”
Immediately, Chen Xiaoebi strode towards his enemies after talking to Wenyuan.
*Huff*
*Roar*
*Buzz*
All those creatures were angered when they saw him make a move. As Chen Xiaobei got closer, the wild boars, tigers, and black bears quickly got into position to attack. Meanwhile, the scorpion and bees were swarming on the ground and in the sky. Like an army, all of them would attack Chen Xiaobei when the ninja gave them the order.
“Kid! I gotta say that your courage is really inspiring! I can’t believe that you did not run away when you saw my Hundred Beasts Formation!”
“Hmph! Do you really think you can scare me off with this ridiculous child’s play? Such a narcissistic person!”
“You are right. This is merely child’s play for you! The most I can do is to defeat elites that are below True Nirvana Stage! I admit that I’m just a weakling when I come across a True Nirvana Elite! And! I don’t think you are a True Nirvana Elite! Hehe!”
“A 100% win-rate against elites that are below True Nirvana stage? That’s not quite possible! How can a group of creatures be compared with elites from Jianghu?!”
“Little girl, you don’t believe me? Let me show you!”
Promptly, the ninja picked up his flute and started to play it.
*Rumble*
Seconds after that, all those beasts started to swarm towards Chen Xiaobei. Like an organized army, they attacked Chen Xiaobei from all the directions.
“Even though I’m not a True Nirvana Elite, this is still child’s play to me!”
As usual, Chen Xiaobei was calm.
Chapter 649: Less Than Three Seconds
“Such arrogance! My Hundred Beasts Formation can defeat elites that are under True Nirvana Stage! Do you really think that I’m boasting? The beasts are going to distract you! Then, the other venomous creatures will attack you when you are not paying attention! Unless you have True Kang to protect you, you will definitely be killed by venom!”
Right after that, the melody that came from the flute was hastened. At the same time, all those creatures increased their movement speed as well.
“Crap! There is no way that Xiaobei can deal with an attack like this!”
At the back, Wenyuan was worried sick. She knew that she was not powerful enough to help Chen Xiaobei. All she could do was to watch those creatures swarm towards him.
“Bastard! Last chance! Kneel in front of me and beg for mercy! I promise you that you will not be hurt if you surrender now! Don’t blame me for not giving you a heads-up! I remember that there was a Half-Step True Nirvana Elite managed to last for three minutes when he tried to fight my Hundred Beast Formation! It will be a miracle if you can last for thirty seconds!”
This ninja might be arrogant but he was actually telling the truth. Considering that those beasts were not afraid of death and those venomous creatures could attack one in surprise, one would be susceptible to those attacks without the protection of True Kang. In other words, a small careless mistake would cost Chen Xiaobei’s life.
“Xiaobei, we should just run if we can’t defeat him! This Hundred Beast Formation is so terrifying!” Wenyuan screamed from behind. Clearly, she was terrified that something bad might happened to Chen Xiaobei.
“Don’t worry! A child’s play like that wouldn’t even last for three seconds!”
With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei lifted one of his hands.
“Three seconds? Stop dreaming! Die now!”
“Haven’t you heard of a saying? Heaven’s vengeance is slow but sure!”
*Swoosh*
Streams of white spider web shot out from Chen Xiaobei’s arm once he was done talking. It stuck on the trees and rocks around it – a giant shield was formed in front of Chen Xiaobei. From far, the whole place looked it the place where Spider Demon lived.
*Rumble*
At the same time, all those charging beasts were forced to stop when they came in contact with the huge web shie
