Chapter 377

Only after losing everything and experiencing deception, poverty, pain, and so on did Fan Zhizhou deeply realize how precious Li Yi's help was. Compared to those treacherous Earthlings, Li Yi was simply a lotus flower rising from the mud, holy and noble.

Fan Zhizhou was very glad that he had crossed over with Li Yi instead of someone else; otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.

Li Yi didn't drag his feet either. He immediately had the intelligent system input Fan Zhizhou's identity information so he could freely enter and exit the Peace Financial Building, and at the same time, he took out the cultivation pod from his storage magic treasure and placed it on the B1 floor to facilitate Fan Zhizhou's future cultivation.

This cultivation pod was something he had obtained incidentally when he snatched the storage magic treasure back then. Thinking he didn't usually use it, he just put it at home.

As for the nutrient solution, Zheng Lan had hoarded a lot, piling up a whole warehouse. If Fan Zhizhou had a need, he could go take some to drink himself.

Li Yi even specially reserved a room for Fan Zhizhou in the building to prevent him from ending up on the streets again one day.

After receiving Li Yi's help, Fan Zhizhou's quality of life shot up. Knowing shame and then being brave, after expressing his gratitude, he hugged two boxes of nutrient solution and plunged into the cultivation pod, deciding to go into closed-door cultivation.

Seeing this, Li Yi didn't stop him.

It was a good thing that Fan Zhizhou could have such motivation. He believed that after opening the path of cultivation, he would progress very quickly. After all, the potential of someone who could become a Meridian Cultivation martial artist in their early twenties couldn't be too bad; he had just taken some detours.

After settling the wretched Fan, Li Yi also returned to the top-floor room to rest.

The next day.

Li Yi was well-prepared and, in high spirits, prepared to go out.

"Li Yi, where are you going so early in the morning? You didn't even tell me when you came back yesterday. Do you think Lin Jie is annoying, or is it that you've become infatuated with some beauty recently and are afraid that I, Lin Jie, will misunderstand? So you're deliberately hiding from me?" On the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, Lin Yue was wearing a tight combat suit, with a precious saber tucked at her waist and short hair hanging to her shoulders, looking heroic and spirited. However, at this moment, a hint of resentment appeared on her face.

"Lin Jie, how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? Everyone knows I cultivate the White Bone Contemplation, viewing beauties as white bones. Even if I were infatuated with something, it's impossible for me to be infatuated with beauties. Lin Jie, you also broke through the illusion of the White Bone Mural; you should know that." Li Yi opened his eyes wide and immediately began to explain.

Thinking of the White Bone Mural illusion, Lin Yue's face couldn't help but turn red. She then said: "I'll believe you for now. Then tell me, where do you plan to go?"

"To the danger zone to hunt transcendent creatures. I caused some trouble at the Golden Academy, and the judge punished me to hunt one hundred transcendent creatures to complete the task. I thought that hunting anywhere is hunting, so I might as well come back and kill more transcendent creatures near Tianchang City. Look, I just came back yesterday and rested for one night, and I planned to start acting early this morning," Li Yi said.

"So that's how it is. Then I'll help you. My cultivation has also reached a bottleneck recently, and I'm a bit short of condensing a soul. Perhaps I can break through after some training." Lin Yue stood up, stretched her body, and then became eager to try.

"One hundred transcendent creatures is really not a small number. Call Zhao Lingfu, Lu Jue, and the others too. Last time, after they became gene warriors, their strength improved. Many of them have broken through to Spirit Perception, so they can go to the danger zone to venture out."

Li Yi said: "They can just train on the outskirts of the danger zone. I'm going deep into the danger zone and might hunt some Spirit Soul Realm transcendent creatures. Besides, there aren't one hundred transcendent creatures on the outskirts for me to kill."

"That makes sense. Since that's the case, then I'll split into two groups. I'll team up with Zhao Lingfu and the others to hunt transcendent creatures near the danger zone to help you complete the kill count as soon as possible. You just be careful by yourself. If it really doesn't work, release the Thunder Fighter." Lin Yue also knew her strength was insufficient and couldn't drag Li Yi down, so she consciously did what she could.

"No problem. However, for the sake of safety, you should also take a Thunder Fighter. It can help you expand the hunting range and also provide aerial fire support to avoid any accidents," Li Yi nodded and said.

Lin Yue nodded and said: "Good, it's more convenient to act with a Thunder Fighter."

Soon.

The two acted separately. Li Yi took a Thunder Fighter and immediately flew towards the direction of the abandoned city area, while leaving the other Thunder Fighter to Lin Yue, letting Lin Yue assemble the personnel to act later.

However, Li Yi naturally had new helpers too.

Those two exotic beasts placed in the abandoned school.

When he returned to the playground of the abandoned school again, he saw Niu Niu and Shanyi lying on the ground, listening to the lecture seriously. In front of them, the intelligent robot Lan Ji was turning on a 3D projection, explaining while playing it. The two exotic beasts had already achieved great results after a day of learning.

Li Yi even saw Niu Niu holding a branch between its hooves, writing and drawing on the ground, with notes left by it all around. It looked like Niu Niu was very serious in class and was a good student. Maybe after a few more days of learning, it would want to sign up for the postgraduate entrance exam.

Looking at Shanyi, it was flapping its wings, looking left and right, looking like it was slacking off in class, a typical representative of a poor student.

But even so, their learning ability was a bit too astonishing; they had mastered the characters in one night.

"Today's lecture ends here. It's time for extracurricular activities. Niu Niu, Shanyi, come with me to the danger zone to hunt transcendent creatures. Lan Ji, you are responsible for controlling a Thunder Fighter to explore from the air and act with me." Li Yi walked over with big strides, not dragging his feet, and immediately arranged the tasks.

Hearing this, Shanyi immediately chirped, flapping its wings, very excited. Looking at Niu Niu, it let out a reluctant howl, dropped the wooden stick, and at the same time carefully protected its notes, afraid that they would be blurred by the strong wind stirred up by Shanyi.

"Okay, Master." The artificial intelligence Lan Ji smiled.

Soon.

The small team Li Yi assembled immediately started acting. He sat on Niu Niu and galloped towards the direction of the danger zone. Wherever they passed, they stirred up a cloud of dust, causing many cultivators near Tianchang City to be suspicious and uneasy.

"Don't be nervous. That's the exotic beast tamed by Li Yi, an external combatant of the Investigation Bureau. It has already been registered and won't attack us. There's no need to make a fuss," a cultivator who knew the inside story immediately explained.

"This kind of exotic beast, just its aura makes people feel terrified. What is its strength?" Someone asked curiously.

"It seems its strength has already reached the Spirit Power Realm level," that evolutionist who knew the inside story said somewhat uncertainly.

But as soon as this was said, it couldn't help but make people shocked.

Two Spirit Power Realm level exotic beasts?

In that case, wouldn't this Li Yi also have such strength?

They thought the number one expert in Tianchang City was the Spirit Soul Realm captain Zhang Lei, but they didn't expect the real big shot to be this Li Yi.

For a time, in the cultivation circle of Tianchang City, Li Yi's name was spread again, and the information that he possessed two Spirit Power Realm level exotic beasts was also made public. This caused a great reaction, but the spread of the news was also intentionally fueled by the Investigation Bureau. After all, no matter what, Li Yi was an external combatant registered with the Investigation Bureau.

This also helped the stability of the situation.

"Don't hunt transcendent creatures on the outskirts; leave them for other cultivators in Tianchang City to deal with. We are going deep into the danger zone. Shanyi, you are responsible for that side; Niu Niu, you are responsible for this side; I'm going to the other side. Lan Ji, monitor from the air and be ready to support." Li Yi rode Niu Niu and charged all the way. About 50 kilometers after entering the Tianchang City danger zone, he chose to act separately.

Separated by a few kilometers, they pushed horizontally all the way, like a large net, wanting to wipe out the transcendent creatures deep in the danger zone.

Shanyi chirped and flew at a low altitude. Its eyes were sharp, searching for the traces of prey. The moment it saw a transcendent creature appear, it attacked instantly. It vibrated its wings, and its figure was so fast that it left behind trails of afterimages, pouncing directly.

A Spirit Perception Realm transcendent creature didn't even have a chance to resist and had its head crushed, dying on the spot.

And around Shanyi's neck hung an ancient necklace, which was a storage magic treasure. Li Yi had taught it how to use it. The storage magic treasure on Shanyi's neck shone, and that transcendent creature had already been collected inside.

After killing a piece of prey, Shanyi continued to soar and search for the next target.

Soon, it found prey again, flapped its wings to attack, killed it instantly, and then skillfully collected the corpse into the storage magic treasure.

On the other side, Niu Niu was the same. It had a copper ring on its thigh, which was its storage magic treasure. At this moment, after smelling the scent of a transcendent creature, it charged all the way. That transcendent creature was frightened and fled quickly, but how could it outrun this exotic beast species from the savage world? So it was caught up with very quickly.

Niu Niu lowered its head and rammed. After being hit, the transcendent creature's bones were all shattered, and it fell to the ground and died with a howl.

Niu Niu snorted, wrote a "1" on the ground, and only then collected the corpse of the transcendent creature into the storage magic treasure.

Obviously, it was a good cow that liked mathematics.

Niu Niu continued to gallop. Its sense of smell was keen. A Spirit Soul Realm level transcendent creature hiding under a rock and camouflaging itself was found by it. It directly topped off a giant rock the size of a small hill and trampled with its hooves, savage and cruel. This transcendent creature, which was enough to dominate one side, was unable to resist and had its head crushed directly. The corpse was still twitching when it had already been collected into the storage magic treasure.

The Thunder Fighter in the sky also turned on the scanning system at this moment.

Some alert transcendent creatures sensed danger, were chased out by Shanyi and Niu Niu, and quickly fled their territory. However, after being locked on by the Thunder Fighter, the beam cannon fell from the high altitude instantly.

A beam cannon shot through the body of the transcendent creature, hitting the heart directly, and it died on the spot.

Afterwards, the Thunder Fighter turned on the gravity traction system, sucking the body of the transcendent creature into the cabin. Then Lan Ji controlled the Thunder Fighter to continue scanning for prey, not letting a single one go.

Li Yi's action was not slow either. He restrained his aura and ran quickly in the forest. At the same time, his silver vertical pupils explored left and right. Under the capture of that astonishing dynamic vision, any movement around couldn't escape his eyes. A transcendent creature hadn't even been alert before it was discovered by him in advance.

He raised his hand and slashed.

The silver Gang Qi flew out like substance, arriving in an instant, tearing the air, cutting off big trees, and killing that transcendent creature instantly.

Afterwards, Li Yi immediately rushed over and collected the corpse, which was broken into two sections, into the storage magic treasure.

And then he continued to move forward.

"With my current strength, plus two exotic beasts and a Thunder Fighter, even a Spirit Power Realm level transcendent creature can be killed. As long as I don't encounter a mythical species, I should be able to walk sideways in the danger zone near Tianchang City. Of course, for some eerie places, it's better to avoid them for the sake of caution."

Li Yi said to himself in his heart.

Afterwards, he continued to push forward, not letting go of any transcendent creature he could kill along the way.

Some transcendent creatures, although only Spirit Perception Realm, were very weak to him, but these things would grow. If left alone, they would eventually cause a great disaster.

When pushing forward ten kilometers, a huge movement came from Shanyi's side. The sound of wind and thunder shook the mountains and forests, deafening, and the sound of a huge fight came.

"Spirit Power Realm level transcendent creature?" Li Yi's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately became alert.

Only this level of transcendent creature was worthy of fighting Shanyi. Even a Spirit Soul Realm transcendent creature couldn't withstand a single blow from Shanyi. He and Jiang Mingtian and others had truly experienced Shanyi's terror.

Li Yi immediately supported it.

This had been arranged before.

No matter which side encountered a Spirit Power Realm transcendent creature, they would immediately rush to support and kill it together, never fighting alone, to avoid casualties.

When Li Yi arrived, Niu Niu and the Thunder Fighter arrived almost at the same time.

At this moment, Shanyi vibrated its wings, stirring up a raging gale. In the gale, trails of silver radiance flickered, surging towards a transcendent creature.

That transcendent creature was also not simple. It was a vicious dog burning with raging fire all over its body, baring its teeth, soaring in mid-air, looking like the three-headed vicious dog guarding hell in legends. But this vicious dog didn't have three heads, only one, but its body was exceptionally huge, like a giant elephant.

Facing the sweeping gale, this vicious dog didn't care at all. It let out a roar, and fire soared into the sky all over its body, actually forcibly breaking through the blockade of the gale, baring its teeth and pouncing over directly.

Shanyi was shocked and angry. Its figure changed, afterimages flickered, and it avoided the attack.

However, the vicious dog swung its tail instead, flying out like a fire whip, exploding the air, and hitting Shanyi. The remaining power rippled, shaking away a large number of trees.

A scorched black mark was left on Shanyi's thick scales. Its strong body retreated repeatedly. Although it was injured, it was unharmed. It hard-resisted this blow and then soared into the sky, looking for the next opportunity to attack.

Two creatures fought. Obviously, Shanyi was at a slight disadvantage. It wasn't that Shanyi wasn't strong enough, but that it hadn't grown to the Spirit Power Realm yet. It was currently only a Spirit Soul Realm level exotic species, and it was fighting across levels just by relying on its innate extraordinariness.

At this moment, the vicious dog saw Li Yi and that creature as huge as a savage cow surrounding it, and it suddenly felt bad. Baring its teeth, it didn't dare to chase Shanyi, but paced and retreated, wanting to find an opportunity to pull away and leave.

Seeing the support arrive, Shanyi fell from the sky again, staring at the vicious dog and preparing to attack.

"Very good, a Spirit Power Realm transcendent creature, enough for a full meal." Li Yi looked at that creature as if looking at a delicious dish.

After the divine blood awakened, the nutrient solution could no longer keep up with his own consumption. The food he could obtain could only be transcendent creatures, and the more powerful the strength, the better.

This vicious dog right now was just right for an extra meal.

This vicious dog burning with flames felt a bit creepy being stared at by Li Yi's eyes. Those silver vertical pupils seemed to be telling it that it was already food, and if it didn't escape today, it would be eaten.
