Chapter 308: Sensing of Qi

"Chang, Brother Chang," Kang Yuan's voice trembled slightly, "how about we open it and take a look first?"

"That's right, this is a Top-grade Blood Qi Pill!" Yang Dongwen, standing to the side, couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Everyone, hold on for a moment." Chang Lei felt a mix of amusement and frustration. "Don't forget, the Branch Master also has a share of these two bottles of Top-grade Blood Qi Pill. It won't be too late to divide them at least after we see the Branch Master."

"Right, right, right, I almost forgot."

"Let's go, let's find the Branch Master."

"It seems this deal is even more profitable than I expected," Lu Yu thought to himself as he walked out of the Branch.

One hundred portions of medicinal materials were enough for him to refine 1,000 Top-grade Blood Qi Pills.

Taking out 20 for Kang Yuan and the others, he had practically made a fortune.

However, he also understood that he wasn't taking advantage of them.

After all, that was the market price for a single Top-grade Blood Qi Pill.

"Once I learn to refine True Qi Pills later, perhaps I can do the same," the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

In this way, he would no longer need to worry about the issue of Contribution Points.

And the materials obtained from hunting Fierce Beasts could be sold to the Awakened Association to unlock items with higher clearance.

Walking out of the city gate and passing by two camps nearby, Lu Yu's footsteps suddenly paused, and his gaze turned toward one of them.

It was time to deal with that guy named Lu Yang in the Merchant Guild.

He withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

Not until his figure completely disappeared from everyone's view did faint discussions gradually arise.

"It's him again! I really didn't expect him to dare to go out."

"Hmph, he really doesn't know what death is. If their Branch Master hadn't arrived in time last time, this guy would have been dead long ago!"

"Let's go, let's hurry and notify Brother Sheng."

Several figures quickly disappeared from the crowd.

On the Wasteland, Lu Yu traveled alone. He hadn't gone far before he heard a whistling wind attacking from behind.

He turned around quickly, only to see a Gale Wolf King sprinting over. Its speed was as fast as lightning; in the blink of an eye, it had closed the distance to Lu Yu to five hundred meters, and it looked like it would charge in front of Lu Yu in the next second.

However, in Lu Yu's eyes, the opponent's figure was like slow motion in a movie, with every movement clearly discernible.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow unhurriedly, and accompanied by a "whoosh" explosion in the air, the Gale Wolf King in the distance fell to the ground instantly.

A huge blood hole appeared on its head, and bright red blood gushed out, quickly staining the ground a deep red.

【Killed an Advanced Fierce Beast, Experience Value +350 points】

Seeing the information appearing in his mind, Lu Yu shook his head secretly.

Thinking back to when he was still an In-Jin Martial Artist, killing an Advanced Fierce Beast and seeing the Experience Value increase by several hundred points—equivalent to the experience brought by twenty or thirty Intermediate Fierce Beasts—he would have been so excited.

But now, facing the same increase in experience, his heart was completely calm, and he even felt it was a bit low.

He walked quickly to the side of the Gale Wolf King, took out his Alloy Battle Blade, skillfully cut off the valuable materials on its body, and put them into his Space Item.

Although the price of materials obtained this way was not as high as the whole Fierce Beast, it was convenient and saved him from running back and forth to transport them.

After dealing with the Gale Wolf King, he continued to walk deeper into the Wasteland.

On the way, he encountered several more Advanced Fierce Beasts, and without any suspense, they all lost their lives under Lu Yu's arrows.

After collecting the materials from these Fierce Beasts, Lu Yu looked into the distance and couldn't help but ponder: Why were they all Advanced Fierce Beasts?

Where exactly were the Elite-level Fierce Beasts? Just blindly trying his luck like this wasn't a solution.

"How about I try the Human Sensing Technique."

The Level 1 Human Sensing Technique had a sensing radius of five kilometers after activation, consuming 1,000 points of Mental Power per second. His current Mental Power was nearly 200,000, so such consumption could last for more than three minutes.

Of course, he also wanted to see how effective this Skill really was.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and focused his mind to activate the Human Sensing Technique.

In an instant, 1,000 points of Mental Power evaporated like a stone sinking into the sea, and the remaining Mental Power continued to be consumed at a very fast rate.

At the same time, everything within a radius of five kilometers seemed to appear in his mind in a wonderful way.

This was not quite what he had imagined; after the Human Sensing Technique was activated, it was not like having clairvoyance that could take in everything around him.

It was more like a special perception of "Qi."

For example, in the west direction, three kilometers away, several auras were lingering. The feeling was very familiar, and he speculated that it should be a group of Armored Rhinos.

And in the south, an aura far more powerful than the Armored Rhinos was moving rapidly toward them.

Immediately after, those auras began to disperse, fleeing in different directions.

At the same time, one strong and one weak aura overlapped, and then, the weaker aura gradually disappeared.

"Let's go take a look." Lu Yu opened his eyes and ran quickly toward the west.

Not long after, he saw a Grey-spotted Snake, three or four meters long, greedily tearing at the flesh and blood of an Armored Rhino on the ground.

Sensing someone approaching, the Grey-spotted Snake slowly raised its upper body, flicking its tongue and making a "hissing" warning sound.

However, the response to it was a whistling arrow that directly pinned it firmly to the ground.

The body of the Grey-spotted Snake twitched violently, and before long, it had no more breath.

"Although the materials on this thing are not easy to get, it can still add a few hundred points of experience." A smile appeared on Lu Yu's face.

His joy stemmed more from the effect shown by the Human Sensing Technique.

In the previous sensing process, the familiarity those auras gave him, after verification, indeed matched his speculation.

Moreover, the strength of the aura seemed to truly represent the magnitude of power.

In this way, even if he encountered an extremely dangerous enemy, he could detect it in time and avoid it in advance.

The next moment, with a thought, he activated the Human Sensing Skill again.

This time, he sensed an Advanced Fierce Beast flashing past from a position four kilometers to the north.

The five-kilometer perception radius now seemed a bit short.

However, this did not matter; Lu Yu continued to perceive the movements around him while moving forward.

One after another, mid-to-advanced Fierce Beasts kept passing through his perception range.

Several times, he even perceived that those Advanced Fierce Beasts were clearly coming for him, and the facts proved this to be true.

Having perceived intermittently like this for three or four minutes, nearly half of his 200,000 Spirit points had already been consumed, and Lu Yu could not help but frown slightly.

Could it be that he had not gone deep enough into the Wasteland? Or was it that the number of Elite-level Fierce Beasts was too scarce, making it truly difficult to encounter one in the wild?

Just then, his body jolted, and his gaze fixed tightly on the distance.

Five kilometers away, two auras overlapped.

He felt one of the auras was quite familiar; it was highly likely a Violent Bear.

As for the other aura, its intensity was several times greater than that of the Violent Bear.

In just two or three seconds, the Violent Bear's aura vanished.

That powerful, unknown aura remained in place, motionless.

"Could it be an Elite-level Fierce Beast!" Lu Yu's breathing instantly quickened.

If he guessed correctly, it should be that the Violent Bear was hunted down by an Elite-level Fierce Beast; in front of this powerful Elite-level Fierce Beast, the thick-skinned Violent Bear had absolutely no power to fight back and was killed within a few breaths.

"Very good." Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his right hand subconsciously gripping his war bow.

Finally found an Elite-level Fierce Beast; it really was not easy.

The next second, his figure vanished from the spot like lightning, sprinting rapidly in the direction of that powerful aura.
