City No.

After arguing for a long while, Wang Xu finally looked at Ye Cang helplessly.

"If you've made up your mind, then be careful."

"Hardly anyone noticed you entering the city, and you've been at the martial arts hall these past two days, so few people know where you are."

"So if you're careful, Xue Long probably won't notice you. Once you enter the Gray Mist Zone, even if he comes after you himself, he may not be able to find you!"

At that, Wang Xu suddenly paused, then said:

"Wait here. I'll get a few things ready for you!"

With that, he immediately made a phone call nearby.

Before long, a black off-road pickup truck drove over.

"People have already noticed your car, so use this one for your trip."

As he spoke, Wang Xu took several items from inside the truck and began introducing them one by one.

"You killed the Scorpion Three Generals, so I've raised your status to General. This phone is for Generals, and it can connect to the network even in the Gray Mist."

"You can use it to contact me while you're out. I'll make the arrangements then."

He handed over a phone.

Ye Cang picked it up and glanced at it. Wang Xu continued introducing the other items.

"This is the Gray Mist Zone Detector I use. It can sense the strength of life signs within a five-hundred-meter radius. A War Venerable can generally see through the mist for five hundred meters, so even if Xue Long comes after you himself, you'll still have a chance to evade him."

After setting down the detector, he picked up another item that looked like a small camcorder.

"And this is a recording device. For Generals at the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall, collecting materials after killing Beast Soldiers usually isn't worth the effort. If you only kill Beast Generals to earn contribution points, getting enough points to exchange for resources is still too difficult."

"To keep the hall's members from working for nothing, and to encourage them to kill ferocious beasts—thereby protecting humanity by other means—the martial arts hall introduced this recording device."

"It can record the quality and number of the ferocious beasts you kill. Even if you can't bring back their bodies and materials as proof, you can still return and exchange the recordings for a substantial number of contribution points."

"..."

After finishing his instructions, Wang Xu was so tired that his breathing had grown uneven.

"Thank you, Hall Master Wang!"

Ye Cang thanked him sincerely.

A little while later, he drove away from the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall.

Before long, he was out of the city.

Ye Cang sped toward his destination.

At the same time, he released his spiritual power. Just as he'd expected, he sensed several presences keeping watch on the vehicles passing along the road.

Clearly, Xue Long had stationed men at the city gates to lie in wait.

But Ye Cang didn't care.

He floored the gas, and the vehicle plunged into the Gray Mist Zone.

"City No. 0126!"

After checking the map, Ye Cang drove straight toward his target.

This time, he was going to challenge a more difficult city dungeon.

Compared to the town he'd found before, this county town held not only hordes of ferocious beasts, but also beast packs made up of high-level Beast Generals.

Fortune favored the bold. The higher the monsters' level, the greater his gains would be.

With his current strength, as long as he was careful, he could slowly devour every ferocious beast in the city.

Half a day later, after four or five hours on the road, he finally reached the outskirts of City No. 0126.

The city was far larger than the county towns he'd visited before.

All around him, the mist hung thick and gray, and the terrifying roars of ferocious beasts rang out from time to time.

After parking the vehicle and preparing the things he'd brought, Ye Cang switched on the Gray Mist Zone Detector.

At once, the detector picked up the life signs of more than a dozen ferocious beasts within five hundred meters to the front left.

It also marked the level of each beast's life signs.

"One low-level Beast General. The rest are all Beast Soldiers!"

After checking the readings, he headed toward the nearest life sign.

He leaped onto a rooftop and looked down.

Below were more than a dozen ferocious beasts called Ink Shadow Leopards.

Once he'd reached this area, the detector picked up even more ferocious beast life signs.

There were fifty or sixty in all.

"As expected of a former city-level settlement. Even the outskirts have a clan led by a low-level Beast General."

There weren't as many as in the beast pack he'd encountered before, but every one of them was at least a Beast Soldier. Not a single ferocious beast remained among them.

Clearly, the weak had already become food.

"Come on! You're all going to be my nourishment!"

Looking at the Ink Shadow Leopards below, Ye Cang murmured.

A thread of spiritual power shot out from his sea of consciousness, linking to a fifth-tier King Slayer Flying Sword. In an instant, it streaked toward the Ink Shadow Leopard pack below.

Bang, bang...

In the blink of an eye, before the Ink Shadow Leopards could even see where the attack had come from, their heads had already exploded.

In less than a minute, every life sign nearby had vanished.

Even the Ink Shadow Leopard King in front of him had only managed to twitch before the ever-changing King Slayer Flying Sword sealed its throat with a single strike.

When he checked the system panel, his Life Energy had increased by 326 points.

Ye Cang quickly gathered the materials from the Ink Shadow Leopard King.

This time, he planned to bring back only Beast General-level materials.

After sorting the materials, he turned on the recording device and logged all the other Ink Shadow Leopards he'd killed.

After following the whole process, he'd completely stripped the Ink Shadow Leopard pack bare.

Then he checked the map and continued with his sweeping operation.

Having planned his route, Ye Cang headed for the next target.

But he hadn't even gone a kilometer before the detector began to vibrate, picking up more ferocious beast life signs.

When he reached the spot and looked around, he saw a Silver Light Rabbit pack.

Every ferocious beast gave off a silvery glow, dazzling to the eye.

"There are so many! I'm going to make a fortune!"

Looking at the dense cluster of red dots on the detector's screen, Ye Cang felt a surge of excitement.

"There are two Silver Light Rabbit Kings, over a hundred Beast Soldiers, and three or four hundred ordinary Silver Light Rabbits besides."

After a quick estimate, Ye Cang grew even more excited.

"Kill!"

He gave a low shout and leaped straight into the Silver Light Rabbit pack.

Boom!

Shattered stones flew everywhere, and the tremendous commotion carried underground.

In an instant, Silver Light Rabbits poured out of the broken burrow entrances all around him. Within three breaths, a huge number had emerged.

As for the ones already aboveground, they launched a frenzied attack on Ye Cang.

They had lived and bred here, and this was the first time a human had openly charged into their home.

That enraged them in an instant.

"Just what I wanted!"

Ye Cang laughed heartily. Now he didn't have to chase them down one by one.

Whoosh!

A King Slayer Flying Sword shot out, streaking into the Silver Light Rabbits rushing toward him from every direction.

Under Ye Cang's precise control, every Silver Light Rabbit was killed with a single strike.

None of them could even get within ten meters of him.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak...

A sudden shriek rang out. One of the Silver Light Rabbit Kings had made its move.

It kicked off the ground and shot straight above Ye Cang, then crashed down heavily.

Just before it hit the ground, its hind legs suddenly kicked out with lightning speed, stamping toward Ye Cang.

"Get lost!"

Ye Cang calmly gave a low shout.

The next instant...

Whoosh!

The God Slaying Sword flashed out.

A blur flickered past. Ye Cang had already sheathed the sword and appeared off to the side.

Behind him, a bloody hole had appeared in the Silver Light Rabbit King's brow.

Seeing his wife die a miserable death, the other Silver Light Rabbit King charged without hesitation.

And then...

Another corpse appeared on the ground.

After dealing with the two Silver Light Rabbit Kings, Ye Cang controlled several King Slayer Flying Swords and began the hunt in earnest.

A few minutes later, not a single living ferocious beast remained in the area.

"It's finally over. But now comes the real work."

Looking at the ground covered in Silver Light Rabbit corpses, Ye Cang frowned slightly.
