The next day, after resting all morning, Chen Feng continued searching along the coast for Orc squads out fishing and picking them off, until night fell.
According to the system's prompt, the Orc army would finish assembling tomorrow and begin marching south. Chen Feng decided to make one more raid tonight, then return to Baqi City.
This camp was a little larger than yesterday's, but not by much. Chen Feng used the same trick as before: first he poisoned them, then he began the slaughter.
But as he kept killing, Chen Feng sensed something was wrong. Almost all the ones he had killed were Orcs. Apart from the two Orc Warriors he had killed at the start, he had not seen any others.
Just as Chen Feng was preparing to escape, countless torches lit up around the camp, illuminating the entire place.
Orc Warriors carrying torches emerged from the forest one after another, glaring viciously at Chen Feng.
Before long, a towering figure forced his way through the Orcs and entered the camp. He was a huge Orc, clad in fine armor and carrying a sharp battle axe. He strode to the front of the Orcs.
An Orc Hero!
The moment he saw the approaching Orc, Chen Feng recognized what kind he was.
The Orc Hero looked around, then let out a loud roar. The Orc Warriors around him roared in unison, answering their hero.
When the roars died down, an Orc Warrior stepped out of the crowd and came before Chen Feng.
This Orc Warrior was much taller than an ordinary one, and his skin was a purplish blue. He roared at Chen Feng, then raised the bone club in his hand and brought it crashing down.
Bang! Chen Feng dodged, and the bone club slammed straight into the ground, leaving a huge crater in what had been solid earth.
His attack missed. The Orc Hero immediately charged toward Chen Feng, who was dodging, and swung his bone club again, sending it crashing down with a furious whoosh.
Faced with an Orc Warrior whose strength and speed were both far greater than those of an ordinary Orc Warrior, Chen Feng had no choice but to temporarily upgrade Lingbo Weibu to Advanced Level.
When he first entered this world, Chen Feng had 10,078 Reincarnation Points. But after two days of killing, his points had increased by 26,548. More than a hundred of those kills had been Orc Warriors, and he had lost count of the Orcs.
He spent 8,000 points to upgrade Lingbo Weibu to Advanced Level, and his speed surged. He darted behind the Orc Warrior and struck him in the back with his palm, activating the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.
This time, though, Chen Feng didn't drain him all at once. He absorbed energy for a moment, then immediately let go. As soon as his opponent stiffened, Chen Feng struck him again, so the Orcs around them wouldn't notice anything strange.
Speed had never been an Orc Warrior's strong suit. With Chen Feng constantly draining his energy and striking his vitals, the Orc soon fell beneath Chen Feng's palm.
As soon as the Orc Warrior fell, another one rushed out. They all desperately wanted to prove themselves in front of their leader.
Seeing them come at him one at a time, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. A battle of attrition was the last thing he feared. With the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, he was barely using any of his internal energy; instead, it was beginning to increase.
Energy that occurred naturally in creatures like Orcs, without any cultivation, was actually the easiest kind for the Northern Darkness Divine Skill to absorb.
One, two...
Ten, twenty...
Chen Feng began acting utterly exhausted, giving the Orc Warriors the impression that the next one to step up would surely defeat him. Then they would rush in and get beaten to death by his palms.
After Chen Feng killed the fiftieth Orc Warrior, one of the Orc Heroes let out a roar and swept his axe toward him.
Chen Feng was leaning against a large tree to rest. As the Orc Hero attacked, Chen Feng bent backward in an iron bridge to dodge, then activated Lingbo Weibu and slid along the ground, his back nearly touching it, until he was behind the Orc Hero.
After dodging the attack, Chen Feng put all his strength into a vicious palm strike against the Orc Hero's back, sending him flying into the tree Chen Feng had been leaning against.
Boom!!! The tree, so wide that several people would have had to join hands to encircle it, snapped clean in two. The break was not smooth and even; it had been caused by the Orc Hero's axe just moments earlier.
The Orc Hero, who had crashed into the tree, roared in fury and charged at Chen Feng again, axe in hand.
Chen Feng hadn't expected his full-strength strike to leave the Orc Hero not even slightly injured. The other's attacks were incredibly fierce; if Chen Feng took even one hit, he would be split in two.
The Orc Hero was also incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Chen Feng, raising his axe high and bringing it down on him.
Chen Feng hurriedly circulated Lingbo Weibu to dodge, barely avoiding the attack.
Boom! The axe's immense force slammed into the earth, blasting a huge crater in the ground.
I'll die! Chen Feng knew that at his current level, he couldn't defeat the Orc Hero. He didn't even have a chance to escape.
With no other choice, he gritted his teeth and spent more points to upgrade Lingbo Weibu.
8,000. 12,000.
The two upgrades drained all of Chen Feng's points, but Lingbo Weibu had reached Grandmaster Level.
Lingbo Weibu had become instinctive for Chen Feng. As the Orc Hero attacked, Chen Feng's feet moved in a flurry, and his body left afterimages. He had been turning left, but in an instant, he suddenly appeared on the right.
Chen Feng's speed had suddenly become faster and more unpredictable. The Orc Hero was caught off guard and paused in surprise.
Seizing the moment, Chen Feng darted behind the Orc Hero and clung to his broad backplate.
He wrapped both hands around the Orc Hero's neck and activated the Northern Darkness Divine Skill at full power.
It was clearly different from draining an Orc Warrior. If it had been like drawing water before, now it was like sucking up thick, sticky paste.
The Orc Hero also sensed that something was wrong. He tried with all his might to shake Chen Feng off, but Chen Feng clung to him like a plaster that wouldn't come loose.
As time passed, the Orc Hero's strength dwindled. With a furious roar, the Orc leaped high into the air, then slammed down onto the ground with his back.
How could Chen Feng let him get his way? Just before he was crushed, Chen Feng shifted a few inches to the side. Not only that, he used the Dragon Catching Skill to snatch a bone club from an Orc and plant it in the ground, aiming it at the Orc Hero's backside.
Aaargh!!!! Even though he landed hard on his back, the bone club still pierced him three inches deep.
The Orc Hero couldn't worry about anything else. He dropped his axe, grabbed the bone club embedded in his backside with both hands, and yanked hard.
Pfft! Yellowish-red fluid spurted out along with the bone club. But before he could even howl in pain, Chen Feng had already climbed onto his back. One hand pinned the Orc Hero's neck, the other his arm, as Chen Feng activated the Northern Darkness Divine Skill at full power.
