Chapter 3951: Splitting Up for the Hunt

The Clone Puppet, with the Magic Vine, Little Witch and the women as one group, the Monster Beasts as another group, bringing the Demon Wolf, and the team of Ye Jin Yuan, Hou Yunfeng and Qi Yue, each set out in three different directions.

Ye Liuyun stayed within the Formation to cultivate, and also released the Metal Puppets around to keep watch.

With so many women, the mercenaries were dazzled and envious, yet none dared to make a move on them.

Afterwards, the two parties led by Xiao Wufeng and Leng Qingwu also set out. The black‑armored guards beside Fu Wushuang left two to protect Fu Wushuang, while the other six formed a team to hunt the ferocious beasts.

Ye Liuyun also gave each team a rule: they must return before nightfall each day. If they fail to come back, it means they encountered danger, and the other teams will go to rescue them upon return.

Fu Wushuang also remained inside the Formation to continue cultivating.

"Aren't you going out to move around?" Ye Liuyun asked her.

He stays in because the Clone Puppet has already found that the ferocious beasts here aren't that strong; he has no need to go along.

Moreover, he has recently broken through to the pinnacle of the Second Stage of Dong Tian, and is preparing to breach the Third Stage, so he doesn't want to waste time.

"I must quickly improve my strength!" Fu Wushuang said without further comment.

Afterwards, the two both returned to their own Cave Heaven Worlds to cultivate.

Before long, the beast roars around began to sound one after another, and the groups had already started to engage the ferocious beasts.

The Clone Puppet's team saw that only one strong warrior was guarding, but the Clone Puppet and the Magic Vine were the strongest; with the two of them present, no matter how many strong members the beast herd had, they would all be taken down. Ai Dou reads a book.

The women's cultivation levels have mostly reached the Cave Heaven Realm, and they are numerous. Therefore their team specifically targets herds with many beasts.

The Monster Beast team has the Demon Wolf; they themselves are not weak, and the gap isn't large, so their combat power is also strong.

The weakest team is Ye Jin Yuan, Hou Yunfeng and Qi Yue. The three have recently broken through to the Third Layer of Cultivation, and when facing numerous ferocious beasts, they mainly rely on Ye Jin Yuan's Domain Absorption of the beasts' energy.

When encountering higher realms, they depend on Ye Jin Yuan's Physical Body defense and Black-White Light Attack to annihilate the beasts.

Thus Ye Jin Yuan is their main force, while Hou Yunfeng and Qi Yue are purely support.

This is also why Ye Liuyun deliberately let Ye Jin Yuan go out to train. The beasts here are suitable for him to practice, without facing great danger.

However, all six of their teams sweep the beasts there, and the beasts here quickly become unable to endure.

The wailing and roaring of the planet's ferocious beasts rose and fell, catching the attention of the planet's Beast King.

The Beast King is a Barbarian Ox of the Fifth Layer of Cultivation, whose earth‑type power is very strong.

But it was rather unlucky; thinking it was strong, it charged out alone and directly collided with the Clone Puppet's team.

It originally surged up from underground, but was knocked out by the Magic Vine from below, and then split in two by a Yi Dao from the Clone Puppet.

Without the Beast King, the planet's ferocious beasts had no support; those that could hide hid, those that could flee fled. Ye Liuyun and his group stayed here for nearly half a month, and each day was full of harvest.

The Monster Beasts and the women, having fought enough, all withdrew to cultivate.

Leng Qingwu also felt she had gained enough, so she no longer led people out on adventures. Only Xiao Wufeng thought that, since there was no Beast King here, he could take the chance to hunt more ferocious beasts.

Ye Jin Yuan felt the same; he had been cooped up inside the Cave Heaven World too long and still hadn't had enough fights.

Thus each day the two teams continued to go out and hunt ferocious beasts.

But the beasts' living space grew ever smaller. Especially Ye Jin Yuan's team, which had fewer members; although the beasts lacked a Beast King, several herds gathered together, their numbers were still considerable, making it easy to select a new Beast King.

So these herds clustered together, also gathering many beasts of Cultivation realm, and fought desperately with Ye Jin Yuan.

Ye Jin Yuan was truly fierce, brandishing his blade as he charged, simultaneously using Domain Absorption to draw the beasts' energy while engaging them in close combat.

Occasionally some beasts launched Spiritual Soul Attacks at him, but he was unafraid, relying on the defensive Formation and artifacts within his Sea of Consciousness.

His Divine Soul Power is now indeed strong. After such a long period of cultivation, with abundant resources, his Divine Soul Power had long become that of a strong one, capable of handling beasts of the Sixth and Seventh Layers of Cultivation without issue.

Only the sheer numbers made him a bit overwhelmed. Fortunately, the Formation and Defense Artifact functioned, and the beasts did not coordinate Spiritual Soul Attacks; otherwise he would truly be in danger.

After a great battle, he actually filled the Soul Sealing Pearl with many beasts' souls.

He also slashed many beasts. However, those whose energy he drained no longer held any storage value.

Because he absorbed a large amount of energy, signs of another breakthrough appeared, so he returned to Ye Liuyun's Cave Heaven World to quietly cultivate.

Hou Yunfeng and Qi Yue, following him, suffered; they were battered daily and had to rely on Life Spring Water to heal before fighting again.

But Xiao Wufeng's team was not so lucky. They also faced a fierce counterattack from the beasts.

Although the members coordinated well and had Defense Artifacts, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of beasts; after a massive battle, half their numbers were wiped out.

When they returned in a disheveled state, Fu Wushuang and Leng Qingwu were shocked, not expecting such heavy casualties.

"The beasts went mad, all fighting us desperately, even launching Spiritual Soul Attacks!" Xiao Wufeng explained helplessly.

The Clone Puppet stayed in the Formation on watch. He thought this was perfectly normal.

The beasts were beaten so hard they had retreated to their final defensive line; it's no wonder they fought desperately. From Ye Jin Yuan's experience, he knew Xiao Wufeng's group might not fare much better.

"The beasts have nowhere to retreat; only a desperate fight remains. Let's withdraw; there's no need to annihilate them!" he immediately suggested.

Everyone agreed, and Xiao Wufeng now had to leave even if he didn't want to.

His team no longer had the strength to fight again. This battle cost them heavily; for some beasts, they lost half their people.

Ye Liuyun and his group boarded the Flying Boat, not intending to attack any more planets here.

But the beasts here were unwilling to let them leave.

Each time they passed a planet, that planet's Beast King would mobilize a massive number of beasts to intercept them, leading to several large battles in the starry sky.

But the Clone Puppet commanded the remaining people to cooperate, causing the beasts each time to leave a huge pile of corpses, essentially feeding them for free.

"These beasts seem to be deliberately intercepting us!" Fu Wushuang observed, noting the beasts were intentionally targeting them.

The Clone Puppet also found fighting several times a day rather bothersome.

"Since they don't want to let us go, why not showcase our strength and utterly annihilate a few planets, intimidating them!" he suggested.

"Annihilate a few planets completely? How?" everyone was baffled, only Leng Qingwu knew they possessed such power.
