Perfect Teamwork, Uninvited Guests
In the following days, Shen Mo's fishing career flourished.
The second step is to take the bait, surround and kill, dismantle, collect the body, and clean up the traces.
The entire process was completed in one go, almost a third faster than the first one.
Furthermore, they achieved a flawless victory with no casualties among all members.
The third method: take the bait, surround and kill.
This time, Xia Zhiqiu was Proficient at controlling the Mental Cones than before. The two Mental Shocks hit the Sonic Python precisely the moment it opened its mouth, forcibly suppressing the sound waves.
Mu Wanrou's Vines net is now easier to control than before, and the time from springing up to tightening has been shortened to half a breath.
Xiao Qiyue finished with two arrows, one piercing the armor and the other piercing the brain, clean and swift.
Articles four, five, and six—each one is easier to understand than the last.
By the Article Seven, Xia Zhiqiu had become so arrogant that he dared to pose on the corpse of the Sonic Python.
"Knock off!"
Xia Zhiqiu stepped on the python's head with one foot, snapped his fingers, One Leaf Cone flew back to his palm with a "whoosh." He patted the imaginary dust off his hands, and the tail was almost sticking up to the sky.
Zhang Xuan had just put the last Scale Armor into his Storage Bracelet when he heard this, and without even looking up, he immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"If ten of them came, you'd say you couldn't beat them."
"Hey, Old Zhang, what's wrong with you?!"
Xia Zhiqiu was displeased and leaned over to pat him on the shoulder.
"Can you stop undermining me? You should always have dreams; what if they come true?"
"It's okay to have dreams, but don't exaggerate too much."
Zhang Xuan stood up, patted the Storage Bracelet that was full of treasures, and couldn't help but smile.
"However... ten methods definitely won't work, but two methods are worth a try."
Upon hearing this, the people in the cave were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Great job, Old Zhang!"
Xia Zhiqiu slapped him on the back, making Zhang Xuan stagger.
"You've gotten cocky, huh? You weren't like this before, always so steady as an old Old Wang. Why are you suddenly raising the stakes today?"
Mu Wanrou smiled and shook her head, reaching out to tidy the stray hairs that had been ruffled by the wind.
"I think so too, we could try two of them."
No one disagreed with that statement.
Through these days of continuous battles, everyone can feel their own progress.
It's not an increase in Cultivation Level, but a genuine evolution in Combat Ability.
Zhang Xuan's Fire Law has evolved from initially only being able to burn the skin to now being able to precisely burn into the gaps between the Scales, with the burning point being perfectly controlled.
Mu Wanrou's Long Whip, which initially couldn't even wrap around the python's body, is now able to precisely entangle its vocal sac, cutting off its chance to vocalize.
Xia Zhiqiu's One Leaf Cone has evolved from initially only being able to momentarily shake the opponent's Divine Sense to now being able to precisely disrupt their rhythm at the exact instant they exert their force.
Shen Mo's stealth and assassination skills became increasingly superb, his timing and routes for luring monsters were even more accurate than Zhang Xuan's Maps.
Needless to say, Xiao Qiyue's Arrows were even more accurate than before.
Everyone has become more proficient in applying the Law, and their individual combat abilities have greatly improved.
More importantly... everyone's teamwork was also more Perfection.
In this situation, two options are also worth trying.
Well, the key point is... one line doesn't seem like enough pressure for them.
They want to escalate the situation.
Roll it up again!
Shen Mo leaned against the shadows, wiping his black Dagger.
The blade of the Dagger reflected the faint light filtering through the cave entrance, its coldness chilling to the bone.
He didn't join in the laughter and chatter; instead, his brows were slightly furrowed and remained furrowed.
Don't be too optimistic.
Shen Mo was usually a man of few words, but when he spoke, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing.
"Your Pills are effective, and the monster-luring went smoothly, but with so many Sonic Pythons disappearing one after another, the Sonic Python swarm... seems to have noticed. When that python was chasing me just now, I looked back, and it was being stared at by several large pythons for a while before it left the swarm."
"What?"
Xia Zhiqiu's smile faded.
Zhang Xuan's expression also turned serious. He walked a few steps to the cave entrance, glanced outside, and then slapped his forehead.
"It was my oversight. I've been playing too well these past few days, focusing on practicing and gaining experience, and I forgot about this."
"Sonic Pythons aren't inanimate objects; they're highly social. Losing one or two might not be noticeable, but losing five or six, especially perimeter patrolling individuals, shouldn't go unnoticed. If we keep watching this group, we'll eventually lure out the big one inside."
"Let's go somewhere else."
Mu Wanrou continued speaking, casually putting away the Long Whip at her waist.
"You can't keep pulling the wool off one spot, or it'll get angry. Just find another spot and try fishing there."
"That makes sense. Our Wanrou is indeed smart."
Xia Zhiqiu nodded immediately, stroking his chin as he pondered.
"Besides, we're already familiar with this place; it's not exciting anymore. Let's go somewhere new and give Great Master Xia something even better!"
While they were still discussing, Zhang Xuan had already pulled up a topographic map, and a pale blue Light Screen spread out on the rock wall.
"There are several groups of Sonic Pythons in this Southeast region. Let's switch to the northwest area; the population there is smaller, and there are fewer Middle Gods, so it's safer."
No one had any objections.
Su Ye, of course, had no objections.
He was just there to practice with these people; they were willing to figure things out and adjust their strategies on their own, and he was happy to watch from the sidelines.
Pack your things and let's go.
Zhang Xuan put away the Light Screen.
Everyone picked up their Storage Bracelets, dusted themselves off, and headed out of the cave.
I had just reached the cave entrance, and hadn't even taken a step out...
Su Ye suddenly raised his hand.
Everyone stopped in their tracks at the same time, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Even the most boisterous Xia Zhiqiu instantly shut up, unconsciously lowering her breath to a whisper.
This is the Tacit Understanding we've developed over the past few days.
There must be a reason why Su Ye made this move.
And most likely, it's not a minor reason.
Sure enough, the next second, Su Ye's Spiritual Sense Transmission rang in everyone's minds.
"Someone's here."
How many people?
Zhang Xuan immediately replied using his Divine Sense.
"About twenty, ten of them Middle Gods, and three of them are at the Peak Middle God."
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Three Peak Middle Gods?
This lineup, even in the outer reaches of the Hurricane Secret Realm, is already considered excessively luxurious.
A typical small team wouldn't even encounter a Peak Middle God.
And Su Ye saw it even more clearly through his Divine Sense.
But this group of people were clearly not Ordinary Martial Artist came to form a team for the Examination, because their flying formation was too obvious... Ten Middle Gods were scattered around, vaguely forming a protective circle, inside which were three Peak Middle Gods, and these three Peak Middle Gods were vaguely protecting one person.
A Lower God.
She was also an extremely beautiful young woman.
The woman was dressed in blue Battle Armor and held a silver longsword in her hand.
Su Ye's Divine Sense probed carefully again, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
The blue Battle Armor worn by this woman was actually a complete set of High-grade Divine Artifacts.
The silver longsword in his hand was a High-grade Divine Artifact.
This...
That's incredibly extravagant!
"A complete set of High-grade Divine Artifacts..."
Zhang Xuan gasped.
"This... which young lady from a wealthy family has come here for training?"
Su Ye chuckled.
"He's probably a junior member of some powerful faction, here to participate in the Star-Ranked Blood Bounty Examination, and he's brought a bunch of bodyguards to protect him."
"Wow, this guy's Pay-to-Win Player."
Xia Zhiqiu clicked her tongue twice, her tone full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"Comparison is the thief of joy. While we're still here fishing and grinding monsters one by one, they're just leading a max-level team to grind, reaping the experience effortlessly."
Su Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.
He glanced at the crowd, waved his hand, and lowered his voice.
"Come on, keep up."
"Ah?"
Xia Zhiqiu was taken aback.
"Follow me? Where are we going? To feed the enemy?"
"Why send someone to their death?"
Su Ye smiled mischievously.
"Let's watch the fun."
"And... see if I can snag something cheap."
The group exchanged glances, each seeing excitement in the other's eyes.
Finding a bargain?
They're experts at this!
The group immediately concealed their auras. Su Ye erected a layer of Divine Sense barrier, then wrapped it with faint spatial Law Fluctuations, completely concealing the auras and figures of the group. Like a shadow merging into the wind, he silently fell behind the group, hanging far away, and also headed towards the Sonic Python swarm.
