Chapter 8: Deep in the Outskirts, Is Ye Bai Not Coming Back?

"Boom, boom!"

Chen Fu heard two violent booms!

The sound of heavy objects weighing several hundred catties slamming into the ground!

"How is this, possible?"

Chen Fu opened his eyes instinctively.

Once he saw the scene inside the small town clearly, he was stunned.

In the very center of the small town, two deep pits had appeared!

The two Wind Wolves that had killed Ning Yuan in seconds not long ago were lying inside the deep pits!

Ye Bai had blasted two First Grade Mid-Stage Wind Wolves away with two punches!

"Boom, boom!"

The two Wind Wolves had just crawled up and were baring their fangs to counterattack.

As the Wind Wolves lunged over, Ye Bai threw two more punches.

"Awoo."

This time, the Wind Wolves screamed directly.

"First Grade Late Stage..."

"It is definitely First Grade Late Stage!!"

Witnessing the Wind Wolves being pummeled, Chen Fu formally judged Ye Bai's strength.

It was even more terrifying!

He had originally thought that Ning Yuan reaching Rank One in half a year and mastering two Yellow Grade Martial Skills already made him the First Genius of Third High School!

In First High School and Second High School, only a few dozen people could be mentioned in the same breath as Ning Yuan.

As it turned out, Ye Bai, who was hailed as a waste in terms of Qi and Blood, had quietly reached First Grade Late Stage strength!

"Awoo, awoo!"

The two Wind Wolves were now terrified by Ye Bai's terrifying brute force and turned to flee.

Having verified that he could indeed kill the two Wind Wolves, Ye Bai pursued them without hesitation.

The figures of one person and two wolves disappeared into the center of the small town.

"Am I, saved?"

Chen Fu's mood was even more complicated.

He then took a deep breath and crawled out from the tile-roofed house.

He did not know why Ye Bai had suddenly reached First Grade Late Stage.

But he knew that if he did not leave now, any Rank One Alien Beast that happened by later could take his life!

"Take me back to Jiangcheng...

I have money, I will give you a lot of money to repay your life-saving grace..."

However, it was unexpected.

As Chen Fu passed the ruins where Ning Yuan was buried, he actually heard a faint, thread-like voice coming from beneath the ruins.

Ning Yuan was not dead, and he knew someone had saved him!

"So tenacious of life..."

Chen Fu instinctively did not want to pay attention.

He had not forgotten Ning Yuan's cold mockery and abandonment, let alone that the person who saved Ning Yuan was Ye Bai.

"No, Ning Yuan is buried inside and doesn't know who saved him..."

"Even if he knew, given the relationship between Ning Yuan and Ye Bai, it's impossible for him to give Ye Bai money!"

"But if I say that Ning Yuan was hallucinating, that no one else came, and that it was I who saved him using my talent, then things would be different..."

Upon second thought, Chen Fu developed greed.

He needed money!

Only with enough money could he improve his Qi and Blood!

Even Ye Bai, that bottom-feeder, had made a comeback; he did not want to become another joke of Third High School!

Once there was no movement in the ruins and it was clear Ning Yuan had completely passed out, he dug Ning Yuan out.

With his 20 points of Qi and Blood, he did so to avoid affecting his movement speed.

Not only was the Specialized Backpack containing the edible parts of the Black Panther discarded, but even the small knife used for dissection was thrown away.

"I was careless. I only thought about the efficiency of hunting Alien Races outside the city and forgot to buy a small knife for dissection and a backpack in advance..."

Over on Ye Bai's side.

He had already killed the two Wind Wolves!

First Grade Mid-Stage, the threshold of 400 points of Qi and Blood!

Yet Ye Bai possessed 1431 points of Qi and Blood.

The two Wind Wolves had also been injured by the four punches he threw at the very beginning.

Even though he had not mastered any Martial Technique, after chasing them for over ten minutes, he had successfully taken them down!

He was now looking at the two massive Wind Wolf carcasses and feeling troubled.

"And I am too lacking in actual combat experience."

"Clearly, without weapons or any mastered Martial Technique, the first time I beat these two Alien Beasts to the ground, I didn't press the attack, which caused it to take a long time to kill the Wind Wolves, and I consumed most of my Qi and Blood..."

After some analysis, Ye Bai also discovered his shortcomings.

A Martial Artist's Qi and Blood will be consumed along with combat and even daily activities; resting or eating can replenish Qi and Blood, which is the fundamental reason why meat is expensive.

【Reset】 allows him to skip the normal process of replenishing Qi and Blood, but he still has to wait.

"Click, click!"

He took out his phone to record a video.

After returning to the city and uploading it to the Martial Artist Association app, he could claim the kill reward for the two Wind Wolves.

"Let's head back first."

Ye Bai finally decided to send the two Wind Wolf carcasses back to Jiangcheng first.

They were two First Grade Mid-Stage Alien Beasts; even if he had to pay taxes on the proceeds from selling the Exotic Beast Meat, he could at least get three or four thousand Great Xia Currency!

It just so happened that after a battle, his Qi and Blood were heavily consumed, and for the time being, he didn't dare to go hunt new Alien Beasts.

"Huh, is this... a Specialized Backpack specifically for carrying Exotic Beast Meat?"

Passing by the town center on his way back, Ye Bai discovered the backpack Chen Fu had left behind.

"There is still Exotic Beast Meat inside..."

"There is even an Anatomy Knife on the side..."

Approaching to take a look, Ye Bai was overjoyed.

He felt as if he had been handed a pillow just as he was getting sleepy!

Although he needed to recover his Qi and Blood.

But making a trip back plus selling the Wind Wolf carcasses would waste at least two extra hours!

He waited on the side, preparing to wait for the owner of these two items to return.

Then he would discuss it, share a portion of the edible Wind Wolf meat with the other party, and while borrowing the knife, have the other party hunt Alien Beasts with him today.

He had no intention of taking the items away while the person was not there.

Both the knife and the backpack were specialized items.

The former was not expensive, a few hundred Great Xia Currency.

Because the Specialized Backpack could effectively isolate the bloody scent for a short time, one cost at least over a thousand Great Xia Currency!

He also wasn't worried about being double-crossed.

Although the Safe Zone was outside the city, it was very close to Jiangcheng, and some laws still existed.

Furthermore, he was already a First Grade Late Stage Martial Artist with 1431 points of Qi and Blood...

"It will be 1581 points soon..."

He waited for several tens of minutes without seeing anyone.

Ye Bai put away the Explosive Blood Combat Method, timed it, and hid in the ruins of a nearby tile-roofed house.

Sacrifice 150 years, Qi and Blood +150 points!

"No, there is blood here..."

However, after coming out of the tile-roofed house.

Ye Bai had just had the thought of going to the surrounding area to look for someone.

He discovered the blood left behind by Ning Yuan in the completely collapsed ruins nearby.

"Before I arrived, could the owner of these two items have been fighting those two Wind Wolves?"

"Because he was no match, he hid in these ruins at the time, and because I drove the two Wind Wolves away, he was able to escape?"

Ye Bai recalled the scene when he first saw the two Wind Wolves, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

"In that case, these are things the original owner didn't want, or rather, couldn't take with him..."

"Although I can't rule out the possibility that he comes back to get them later, I'll just return the knife before I go back."

Once he thought of this, Ye Bai no longer had any psychological burden.

Although the Specialized Backpack could effectively isolate the bloody scent, the longer it held Exotic Beast Meat, the worse the effect became.

By tomorrow, the backpack would be torn apart by newly arrived Alien Beasts.

He picked up the Anatomy Knife and processed the two Wind Wolves as quickly as possible.

Ye Bai stuffed all the flesh and blood into the backpack and set off on his journey again...

One day passed in the blink of an eye!

Evening, six o'clock.

At the gates of Jiangcheng.

"Hurry up if you want to enter the city; take out your Exit Permit in advance and cooperate with the Military Department's inspection!

The city gates will be closed in ten-odd minutes!"

A Junbu Zhanshi was shouting at the Martial Artists returning from outside the city.

In the current era, because everything outside the city is Wilderness with no light, the night is the paradise of the Alien Race.

All human cities also close their gates before sunset.

To reduce incidents of the Alien Race approaching the cities!

Most Martial Artists also rush back before the gates close.

Only those with sufficient strength and enough confidence in themselves dare to spend the night outside the city.

Ten minutes passed in a blink, and the Martial Artists at the city gate had all passed inspection and entered the city.

"What are you looking at? Isn't today's work finished?"

"Shall we head to Heaven on Earth later?"

A Dahan suddenly bumped into the Junbu Zhanshi beside him and joked.

"Do you remember this morning, when I sent out a student who had just graduated from Martial Arts High School?"

"He hasn't come back yet..."

The Junbu Zhanshi said, full of worry.

"It seems that's true...

That kid wasn't dressed like much, I have an impression of him too, he should be from an ordinary family..."

Hearing this, the Dahan also recalled the youth from the morning, and his brows furrowed.

There are many people from the bottom layer of society.

But there are very few who come from the bottom layer and reach Rank One within half a year.

He couldn't help but look out toward the city, just like the Junbu Zhanshi, expecting the youth's figure to appear.

"Sigh, he is likely in grave danger."

Soon the sun set completely, and the stationed soldiers had already begun to close the city gates.

The Dahan sighed.

"Such a good kid, how could he..."

The Junbu Zhanshi also stopped holding onto any hope.

A student who hadn't yet entered Martial University, even if he didn't die outside the city during the day, would most likely not survive the night!

"Swish, swish!"

Yet it was at this moment that a figure appeared not far from the city gate...
