Chapter 351: System, Let’s Make A Deal

　　Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

　　The secret realm was experiencing its most chaotic moment since the time that it’d been created. Countless cultivators were flooding into it, and large numbers of cultivators and Demonic Beasts were dying every second.

　　But overall, the number of cultivators who died was much more. The Demonic Beasts were trashing the cultivators, their unexpectedly powerful strength catching the latter off guard!

　　Everyone thought that these Demonic Beasts were merely a bunch of native bumpkins with no combat experience. Reality, however, gave all of them a harsh slap on the face!

　　The Demonic Beasts were strong to a perverse extent. Ordinary third level cultivators could not even last ten blows against any of the Demonic Beasts before they were smacked to death!

　　These Demonic Beasts were not as weak and inexperienced as people expected, the reason being that they had been living in the secret realm for too long!

　　Although the secret realm was huge, it was ultimately still a place with limited space. But why was it that there wasn’t much change to the number of Demonic Beasts?

　　That was because all the weaklings had already been eliminated long ago and turned into food. The powerful Demonic Beasts only grew stronger and stronger as time passed!

　　The battle techniques and talent of these Demonic Beasts had been passed down for generations through their bloodlines. Those that dared to underestimate them were now all dead.

　　A million years of evolution had turned the still surviving Demonic Beasts into battle machines. In a sense, they had reached the limit of strength in the third level of cultivation!

　　At this time, everyone started to remember the rumors they heard before they entered the secret realm. Some of the rogue cultivators who’d gone in in previous years not only did not exaggerate their abilities, but said that they had vastly underestimated the dangers inside!

　　As death stared these people in their eyes, they finally understood why those rogue cultivators had been so reluctant to talk about their experiences in the secret realm before!

　　Countless cultivators were struggling desperately at this moment as they engaged the Demonic Beasts in battle.

　　Only after suffering a huge loss in their numbers did everyone finally begin to realize the true strength of these Demonic Beasts. Their bodies were strong to a ridiculous point, and anyone who got too close to them would suffer heavy injuries!

　　The cultivators gathered together into large groups and threw out talismans as if they were worthless paper. Everything was done just to keep the Demonic Beasts away!

　　A portion of the people took out their spirit weapons, controlling them from far away to attack the Demonic Beasts.

　　With enough people, the types of weapons became more varied. The different types of weapons complemented each other well and the Demonic Beasts were killed very quickly!

　　In another location, a spirit weapon shaped like a fishing net was thrown out, wrapping around a large Demonic Beast. A large number of experts instantly stepped out and used ice-attributed abilities to further inhibit the Demonic Beast’s movement. After that, the rest quickly threw their strongest attacks and weapons against its tough armor!

　　However, the Demonic Beast was not a pushover, either. The stronger Demonic Beasts were all capable of dealing powerful damage. With them in the lead, and numerous smaller Demonic Beasts behind them, they were also able to form into small groups which tore holes through the humans’ defensive lines!

　　Once they broke into the humans’ ranks, the Demonic Beasts completely wreaked havoc and bared their fangs and claws, unleashing their full strength.

　　At this time, a group of cultivators with over 10,000 members had surrounded several hundred Cloud Leopards, engaging them in a fierce battle. These cultivators were clad in black armors, and their faces were icy and cold. They were like a group of zombies, advancing and retreating as one!

　　The strongest among this group of 10,000 was only at the peak of the third level. There were even many people at the early third level stage. But when added together, they had a combined strength that allowed them to slaughter this group of Cloud Leopards easily!

　　The inner dan of the Cloud Leopard was a main ingredient for a type of foundation establishment pill. It was capable of allowing a third level cultivator to unlock their body’s potential perfectly. This kind of pill was extremely precious and if one’s name was not on the Heaven’s Chosen Roll, one would not even have the qualifications to use it!

　　The reason for this was that the Cloud Leopards had already gone extinct long ago in the outside world. All the foundation establishment pills on Azure Blue World were all bought from the Tianyuan Star!

　　Only precious Demonic Beasts like the Cloud Leopards were good enough to catch the eye of the sect disciples who were out for just a single mission, causing them to pause and spend some time killing!

　　A figure stood at the peak of a tall mountain far away, observing this group of people hunting the Cloud Leopards. A scheming smile hung on his.

　　“The ten great sects styled themselves as righteous sects and prosecuted us. But my Heavenly Corpse Sect had always been lawful, even to the point of buying the corpses with large amounts of money or hunting Demonic Beasts ourselves. But in order to obtain our secret manual, these so-called righteous sects actually fabricated a crime to accuse us and banded together to destroy my Heavenly Corpse Sect!”

　　A foul and foreboding aura surged out of Tian Mozi’s body, turning into threads of silver which flowed about wildly behind him. In that moment, he looked like a Demon God!

　　A three-headed ape not even one meter tall stood behind him quietly. An intense sinister aura coiled around its body continuously.

　　“Since you wiped out my clan, I’ll collect a little bit of interest first. Three-Headed Fierce Ape, kill them all! Let them have a taste of the power of my Heavenly Corpse Sect!” Tian Mozi exclaimed as he raised his head to the sky and pointed at a random cultivator.

　　“Hou!”

　　A loud roar rang out, as though it wanted to tear the skies apart. A terrifying might burst out of the dwarfish body of the Three Headed Ferocious Ape. With a heavy stomp of its foot, the entire mountain peak collapsed, and huge cracks ran down the sides of the mountain!

　　Within five minutes, the Three-Headed Ferocious Ape returned to the side of Tian Mozi with wounds all over its body. One man and one corpse thus disappeared into the forest in search of their next target.

　　In a quiet ravine half a month later. A wide and clear river flowed down the nearby mountains, creating a deep pool.

　　The ravine was long; its two sides were filled with numerous lush trees which blocked out the sunlight.

　　Numerous rare and valuable spirit herbs swayed in the wind, and fist-sized dark-golden bees were flitting diligently among the flowers in search of pollen for their honey.

　　A crystalline fishing line had already landed here for over half an hour. At this time, it was only moving around the area slowly.

　　Bei Feng felt a great deal of conflicted feelings in that moment. Through his perception, he could see that there were at least a hundred stalks of spirit herbs here!

　　But as he controlled the rod and explored the place for one round, he could not help but smack his lips mutely. The varieties of spirit herbs and flowers were simply too many!

　　If it was only this, Bei Feng would not be so conflicted. But the grade of each stalk of spirit herb was definitely not low!

　　The fragrance and medicinal essence of each stalk of spirit herb was so strong that they seemed to have materialized, forming thin, tangible ribbons of mist which floated in the air. Some of these spirit herbs were even actively swallowing the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi! Every inhalation and exhalation would produce some visible foggy substance that was absorbed by the spirit herbs!

　　Bei Feng was on the verge of tears by now. Wasn’t this situation exactly what was meant by the term ‘entering a mountain of treasures only to return empty-handed’?!

　　To Bei Feng, this many spirit herbs was more than enough to raise his cultivation by several level!

　　There were already so many spirit herbs around him. In that case, the number of resources in this land must be astronomical in number!

　　Bei Feng probed around for half an hour, but he did not discover any danger. Through the limited vision around the hook, he did not even see a decent Demonic Beast!

　　“System, can we discuss a deal? Can I put one million experience points on credit first?”

　　Bei Feng felt like his skin had thickened significantly in recent days. Right now, he was even shameless enough to discuss terms so plainly with the System!

　　“Ding! Host’s deal will not be accepted.”

　　The System was even more blunt than Bei Feng. With one sentence, it instantly killed all his hopes.

　　Bei Feng felt his cheeks stiffening slightly. All this while, it was him who made things difficult for others with his straightforward manners and bad conversation skills. But this time, he was actually on the receiving end of it.

　　And this time, he was truly frustrated beyond belief. He could see the treasures around him, but was unable to bring them away. To him, every stalk of spirit herb he could not take away was him making a loss on his end!
