Chapter 291: Doubts

"Let's go, change locations, and keep burning the Demon Beasts." Meng Yifan led Meng Shuangdao and Lang Jiao in a rapid sprint. As experts above the Fourth Grade, their movement speed easily soared to supersonic levels. They circled the Monster Clan Camp,

and whenever they discovered a burrow where many Demon Beasts were hiding, they would pour Fire Oil inside and ignite it with a flame. Soon, all the Demon Beasts in the entire burrow were burned to death.

The speed of hunting Demon Beasts in this way was extremely fast, and the efficiency was also very high; each time, they could easily wipe out over a thousand Demon Beasts.

"Quick, change locations again and keep burning." Meng Yifan looked at the rapidly soaring Experience Value on his Game Panel and felt very happy. He had already set fire to four burrows and wiped out over five thousand Demon Beasts; his Experience Value was now sufficient for him to raise his cultivation to the Fourth Grade Peak.

However, the people around Meng Yifan were also major consumers of Experience Value. Now that there was such a rare opportunity to hunt Demon Beasts with such ease, he naturally had to take the chance to kill more and accumulate more Experience Value.

"Meng Yifan, you are despicable and shameless!" Hu Dameng roared in anger. He did not want to risk his life against Meng Yifan right now, but if Meng Yifan provoked him again and again, then Hu Dameng was not someone to be bullied either; at worst, they would just have a life-or-death showdown.

Hu Dameng charged over with Zhu Meimei and She Qingqing, while a large number of Third Grade Demon Beasts gathered around them, intending to strike together and surround and kill Meng Yifan and his group.

"Haha, leaving now, leaving now." Meng Yifan knew when to stop; he did not linger, and taking Meng Shuangdao and Lang Jiao, he charged toward the outside.

Seeing that Meng Yifan had finally retreated, Hu Dameng felt a sense of relief. He gave a show of force by chasing for a bit, then allowed the three of them to withdraw from the Monster Clan Camp.

Unless absolutely necessary, Hu Dameng still did not want to risk his life against Meng Yifan. However, as the commander of this army of over a hundred thousand Demon Race, if he allowed Meng Yifan to wantonly slaughter Demon Beasts within the army without engaging him, Hu Dameng would lose all prestige, and no Demon Beast would be willing to follow his orders.

"Brother Hu, why don't we break camp now and march in the direction of Lang Batian?" Zhu Meimei said.

Hu Dameng hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "According to the schedule, Lang Batian will arrive in three more hours. What we need to do now is to entangle Meng Yifan and not let him leave the territory of Luolong County."

"As long as we wait for Lang Batian to arrive, Meng Yifan will have no way to escape. If we retreat now, Meng Yifan might just take Lang Jiao and his elite troops and flee."

She Qingqing said with some confusion, "Meng Yifan must know that Lang Batian is about to arrive. At a time like this, instead of thinking about breaking through the encirclement overnight, he is hunting Demon Beasts in large numbers. What is the point of him doing this?"

"I don't know either. Perhaps it is his final madness before death." Hu Dameng also did not understand the purpose of Meng Yifan's actions. Regardless, he only needed to hold out for three more hours, and Meng Yifan would surely die.

In the time that followed, Meng Yifan did not lead his elite troops to raid the Monster Clan Camp again; they all returned to Luolong County.

After continuous fighting, even those who were Second Grade experts and above felt exhausted. Meng Yifan let them rest well to prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle.

Meng Yifan returned to the underground secret chamber alone. He had just consumed a large amount of Experience Value to raise his own cultivation to the Fourth Grade Peak, and he could already sense the fluctuations of the Thunder Tribulation.

As long as Meng Yifan wanted to break through, he could summon the Thunder Tribulation to arrive now. As long as he withstood the bombardment of the Thunder Tribulation, he could advance to a Fifth-grade Cultivator.

However, undergoing the Thunder Tribulation was a life-or-death ordeal and extremely dangerous. Moreover, there were three Fourth Grade Beasts outside Luolong County leading an army of over a hundred thousand; they would certainly not let Meng Yifan undergo the Thunder Tribulation in peace.

Therefore, at this critical juncture, Meng Yifan could not undergo the Thunder Tribulation within the borders of Luolong County.

However, this could not stump Meng Yifan. The siege battle during the day, combined with the continuous fighting at night, had resulted in the hunting of a large number of Demon Beasts, which had already accumulated enough Yin Soul Power to allow Meng Yifan to reopen the Space-Time Channel and return to Earth.

Since he could not undergo the Thunder Tribulation in Luolong County, Meng Yifan would return to Earth to do it. Once he became a Fifth-grade Cultivator, he would return to deal with Hu Dameng and the other Fourth Grade Beasts, and then he could calmly handle the Level 5 Demon Beast Lang Batian.

During these few consecutive major battles, the bullets for the AK47 and the Hand Grenades were almost exhausted again; there was no helping that.

The Monster Army had over a hundred thousand troops, completely crushing the Luolong County garrison in terms of numbers. To block such a massive siege by the Monster Army, the AK47 could only fire continuously; one magazine of thirty bullets was finished in almost a short moment.

"Bullet consumption is too fast. Carrying a large amount of bullets every time I travel is too much of a waste of space. This time, I'll find a way to buy a 7.62mm Bullet Production Line."

Modern bullet production lines were almost all fully automated assembly lines. As long as there was a power supply and sufficient raw materials, bullets could be produced rapidly.

There were currently two Wind Power Generator Units and Photovoltaic Panels in Luolong County, which should be able to barely supply a Bullet Production Line.

The raw materials were somewhat difficult; producing a bullet required four parts: the casing, the primer, the propellant, and the bullet head.

Modern mainstream casings were made of brass, but our country also used steel casings. We adopted the method of using lacquered steel to manufacture new types of bullets; their performance was no worse than brass casings, and they were much more cost-effective.

Meng Yifan could solve the issues of the casing, propellant, and bullet head, but the primer was a bit tricky to handle.

Don't look at the primer of a bullet as just a small lump; it was the heart of the bullet.

To put it plainly, the primer was a small detonator. Its main component was lead styphnate; this stuff was highly sensitive and could easily ignite the propellant inside the bullet, then fire the bullet out.

"After returning to Earth, I'll see if there's a way to obtain the method for producing bullet primers in the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty. If there's really no way, then I'll just have to bring some primers back every time I travel. Relatively speaking, bringing bullet primers is still more space-saving than bringing bullets."

Meng Yifan stopped overthinking it, packed up all the Demon Cores collected during this period, and then with a thought, he silently recited: "Return!"

The countdown on the Game Panel instantly cleared to zero, and then Meng Yifan once again felt the world spinning and the stars shifting; his body entered the mysterious and unfathomable Space-Time Channel once more.

Looking at the streaks of starlight constantly shifting around him, Meng Yifan could not help but sigh. He wondered what kind of great existence could create such a powerful treasure as the Game Panel, which could actually carry a person across two worlds; it was truly incredible.

Inside the Space-Time Channel, there was no concept of space or time. Meng Yifan did not know how long he had stayed in the Space-Time Channel; it might have been only a few seconds, or he might have stayed for a long time. When he felt a strong sense of weightlessness and opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the base on Earth.
