Chen Feng hadn't expected that a palm strike using only half his strength wouldn't kill his opponent, or even injure him.
Seeing the Orc Warrior charging at him again, Chen Feng didn't dodge this time. Instead, he raised his right hand, infused with internal energy, and blocked the bone club strike.
The force was immense, and Chen Feng's right hand throbbed with pain. But that was all. After testing the Orc Warrior's strength, Chen Feng stopped holding back and unleashed a full-power palm strike to the Orc Warrior's chest.
With a crack, crack, the Orc Warrior's chest bones shattered, bone fragments piercing his internal organs.
Even so, the Orc Warrior struggled for a long time before finally breathing his last. During that time, Chen Feng had already killed the other Orcs.
Looking at the deceased Orc Warrior, Chen Feng felt his original plan needed adjustment. He had intended to charge into the forest and wreak havoc, but an Orc Warrior required his full palm strike to defeat. Even with 70 years of Northern Darkness True Qi as a foundation, he couldn't last long.
Once his true qi was depleted, he would be in danger. It seemed he should utilize the mobility of Lingbo Weibu to eliminate the regular Orcs first, then find an opportunity to deal with the Orc Warriors.
Chen Feng didn't enter the forest. Instead, he walked along the coast. At regular intervals, he found groups of Orcs fishing. During this time, he also killed four Orc Warriors, all of whom turned into Chen Feng's Reincarnation Points.
By the time night fell, Chen Feng had killed over a hundred Orcs and five Orc Warriors, directly earning 2,200 Reincarnation Points, equivalent to a B Grade Evaluation for a simple dungeon.
As night arrived, darkness became Chen Feng's camouflage. In a small Orc camp not far away, bonfires were lit, and groups of Orcs slept soundly around them.
Several Orc Warriors patrolled the perimeter of the camp. After all, the Woma Forest wasn't very safe at night, and predators lurking in the darkness eyed their prey.
Chen Feng quietly positioned himself upwind, opened the bottle containing Bei Su Qing Feng, plugged his nostrils with the antidote, and continuously used internal energy to create palm winds to help Bei Su Qing Feng spread.
Suddenly, a giant spider appeared behind Chen Feng. It had silently descended from a tree and sprayed a torrent of venom at Chen Feng, who was hidden at the base of the tree.
Unaware of the enemy above, Chen Feng was doused. However, before the venom could penetrate his pores, it was blocked by the Northern Darkness True Qi, rendering it harmless to Chen Feng.
This type of poisonous spider relied entirely on its venom to hunt. Seeing its venom was ineffective, the poisonous spider bared its sharp fangs and lunged at Chen Feng.
Bang. The fragile spider's body was crushed by Chen Feng's palm strike. Although the sound was faint, it was heard by the last patrolling Orc Warrior, who walked curiously in Chen Feng's direction.
Seeing the opponent getting closer, Chen Feng activated Lingbo Weibu and swiftly appeared beside him. He grabbed the Orc Warrior's wrist, which held a bone club, and covered his mouth with his other hand to prevent him from shouting.
To Chen Feng's surprise, as his palm, infused with Northern Darkness True Qi, neared the Orc Warrior's wrist and mouth, a suction force suddenly appeared. A power was continuously drawn from the Orc Warrior's body into Chen Feng's.
The Orc Warrior felt his strength rapidly diminishing, his expression turning to terror. But at this point, he couldn't muster any strength, let alone shout for help.
As time passed, the Orc Warrior's skin color began to fade, changing from dark green to the grey of a regular Orc. When Chen Feng felt he could no longer absorb any more power, he casually killed the Orc Warrior with another palm strike.
He discovered that the system had only rewarded him with 10 Reincarnation Points, indicating that this Orc Warrior had transformed into an Orc.
What Chen Feng didn't know was that Orcs only had a lifespan of 30 years. If an Orc lived past thirty, it would evolve into an Orc Warrior, its skin turning a deep green. Orc Warriors could live for 50 to 200 years.
This transformation occurred because, through years of combat, Orcs had comprehended a certain power, known on the Marfa Continent as mana.
However, Orcs had no method of cultivation. After mana appeared in their bodies, it would slowly alter their physical form over time.
The evolution of Orc Warriors into Orc Heroes followed a similar pattern. Years of combat caused the mana within them to break through a certain threshold. After living for over 200 years, Orc Warriors would grow larger in size and become Orc Heroes.
Every Orc who became an Orc Hero was rewarded by the King of Half-beastmen with a set of exquisite armor and a sharp axe, making them the elite fighting force of the Orc army.
Deep within the Woma Forest, in what would later become the Bairimen Forest, there existed Orc Commanders who had lived for over 500 years. The invasion of Baqi City was led by four such Orc Commanders.
The internal energy cultivated by humans was essentially a form of energy. Chen Feng's Northern Darkness Divine Skill could absorb different energies and convert them for his use. Orc Warriors, however, had no understanding of energy control, which was why Chen Feng could easily absorb their energy.
Although he didn't fully understand how it worked, this was good news for Chen Feng. Lingbo Weibu, combined with Northern Darkness Divine Skill, allowed him to fight while absorbing energy, eliminating his worries about depleting his internal energy.
The entire camp had descended into chaos. Clearly, the patrolling Orc Warriors had noticed one of their own was missing and had become vigilant.
But it was too late. The effects of Bei Su Qing Feng had already taken hold. The Orcs who had woken up were now slumping to the ground, completely listless.
The Orc Warriors, with their superior physical conditioning, could still stand, but their strength was reduced to only twenty to thirty percent of its former might.
Chen Feng darted into the midst of a group of Orcs, his attacks relentless. Countless palm shadows struck the heads of the Orcs, eliminating over a dozen in an instant.
As for the weakened Orc Warriors, they became victims of Chen Feng's internal energy, easily dispatched.
A night passed. As the sun rose, over a dozen Orc camps were piled high with corpses. Chen Feng was exhausted from the night's work. Although he could sustain himself by absorbing mana from the Orc Warriors, human stamina was still limited.
Furthermore, Chen Feng found a small bronze axe in one of the camps. He didn't know which unlucky soul had contributed it to the Orcs. He knocked out all the fangs of the Orc Warriors, packed them into a found sack, and hid it in a pile of rocks by the coast.
As for the Orcs' teeth, there were simply too many, so he ignored them.
