Howling Wind Magic Wolf! Purple-Striped Black Bear!

Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye.

More than half a year had gone by!

To purchase the unknown divine beast bloodline!

Chen Feng crazily plundered resources within the Magical Beast Mountain Range!

Whether they were third-level magical beasts or seventh-level magical beasts!

As long as Chen Feng encountered them!

He would draw his sword without hesitation, kill them, and extract their magic cores!

Whether they were the lowest-grade herbs or exceptionally rare heavenly treasures!

As long as these items contained even a trace of energy!

Chen Feng would claim them all and exchange them for Energy Points!

"Whoosh~"

A streak of sword qi swept through the air.

The seventh-level Howling Wind Magic Wolf was cleaved in half!

Chen Feng strode forward.

With a flick of the longsword in his hand!

The Howling Wind Magic Wolf's magic core landed in Chen Feng's hand!

The next moment!

With a thought from Chen Feng!

The seventh-level magic core was exchanged for 10,000 Energy Points!

After finishing all that!

Chen Feng started walking again, heading toward a nearby cave!

The higher a magical beast's level, the greater its intelligence!

Most high-level magical beasts would build their own nests!

And within those nests, there were often resources they had gathered!

For Chen Feng, who was desperately short on resources, there was no way he would pass them up!

"System!"

"Exchange everything that can be exchanged into Energy Points!"

Sure enough!

The moment he entered the Howling Wind Magic Wolf's nest.

Chen Feng saw a pile of multicolored magic cores, weapons and armor, herbs, and spirit fruits in a corner of the cave.

The magic cores probably came from other magical beasts!

The weapons and armor probably came from human adventurers!

The medicinal herbs and spirit fruits were likely picked by the Howling Wind Magic Wolf itself!

Seeing this!

Chen Feng did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately gave the system the order.

He did not need magic cores!

Nor did he need herbs or spirit fruits!

All he needed were Energy Points—vast amounts of Energy Points!

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 120,000 Energy Points!"

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking.

The system's voice rang out in his mind.

The magic cores, herbs, and other items in the corner vanished without a trace!

Only some weapons and armor remained, scattered messily across the ground!

"Only 120,000?"

"Looks like it was all worthless junk!"

Hearing the system's words.

A flash of disappointment appeared in Chen Feng's eyes.

Over the past half year.

Chen Feng had raided quite a few magical beast nests!

To be fair!

The resources collected by the Howling Wind Magic Wolf really were rather lacking!

After all!

Just a month earlier!

Chen Feng had obtained 850,000 Energy Points from the nest of a seventh-level Red Fire Python!

The difference between the two was more than sevenfold!

"System!"

"Display my information!"

A moment later.

Chen Feng stopped dwelling on it and spoke to the system instead.

"Buzz~"

A transparent light screen appeared before Chen Feng.

[Host: Chen Feng]

[Physical Body: Seventh-Level Peak (0/10,000,000)]

[Battle Qi: Seventh-Level Peak (0/10,000,000)]

[Spiritual Power: Fifth-Level Peak (0/100,000)]

[Cultivation Art: Xunlei Art]

[Pet: None]

[Energy Points: 23,880,000]

"Still short by 6,120,000!"

"Four months should be enough, right?"

Looking at the information on the light screen.

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and muttered softly.

With physical strength at the seventh-level peak!

Combined with Battle Qi at the seventh-level peak!

Even against some weaker eighth-level magical beasts!

Chen Feng had the strength to fight them, or even kill them!

But even so!

Chen Feng had not gone looking for trouble with eighth-level magical beasts!

The reason was simple!

How could he determine the strength of an eighth-level magical beast?

Other than fighting one, there was no other way!

Once they fought!

If the eighth-level magical beast was weak!

Chen Feng could naturally kill it and seize everything it possessed!

But what if the eighth-level magical beast was powerful?

Although Chen Feng could protect himself, he would have no choice but to flee!

That would waste far too much time and hinder Chen Feng's rapid collection of resources!

Under such circumstances!

Of course, Chen Feng would pick on the weak!

Even if the resources of seventh-level magical beasts could not compare to those of eighth-level magical beasts!

Harvesting their resources would not take much time!

Boom! Boom!

Just then.

The ground began to shake violently!

The nest Chen Feng was in even showed signs of collapsing!

Bang!

Chen Feng stomped heavily on the ground!

His entire body turned into an afterimage as he shot out of the nest!

Boom!

The instant Chen Feng rushed out of the nest.

The nest collapsed completely, becoming a pile of rubble!

But Chen Feng paid it no attention!

His gaze shifted toward the southeast!

The tremors were coming from that direction!

"If I remember correctly!"

"That should be the Purple-Striped Black Bear's territory, right?"

"Was it a magical beast or a human fighting the Purple-Striped Black Bear?"

"..."

Chen Feng rubbed his chin and muttered softly.

To gather more resources!

Chen Feng often used the system's scanning and detection functions!

And after Chen Feng reached the seventh level!

The system's scanning range had expanded to a radius of ten miles!

That was precisely why!

Chen Feng could avoid many dangers and find prey suitable for himself!

And fifty miles southeast was already considered the inner region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range!

Two months ago!

Chen Feng had secretly gone there once!

According to the information detected by the system's scan!

There was a ninth-level magical beast there—the Purple-Striped Black Bear!

When facing eighth-level magical beasts!

Even if Chen Feng could not defeat them, he could still retreat calmly!

But when facing a ninth-level magical beast!

Even escaping would be quite troublesome for Chen Feng!

Therefore!

Chen Feng had quietly retreated and continued wandering through the middle region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range!

"Should I..."

"Go take a look while I have the chance?"

After a while.

A flicker of interest appeared in Chen Feng's eyes.

The tremors in the ground had never stopped and were even growing stronger!

Clearly!

The Purple-Striped Black Bear had been tied down!

Neither it nor its intruder could do anything to the other!

In that situation!

As long as he was careful, there should not be any problems!

Having made up his mind!

Chen Feng moved and headed directly for the Purple-Striped Black Bear's territory!

However!

More than ten minutes later!

Just as he was about to enter the Purple-Striped Black Bear's territory.

The previously trembling ground inexplicably fell silent!

Faced with this situation!

Chen Feng instinctively slowed his pace!

"What's going on?"

"Did the battle end?"

A puzzled look appeared on Chen Feng's face.

If the battle between the Purple-Striped Black Bear and the intruder had already been decided!

Then continuing forward would become extremely risky for him!

Especially if the other side spotted him!

Who knew whether they would fight Chen Feng to the bitter end!

But!

Just giving up like this?

Chen Feng felt somewhat unwilling!

The Purple-Striped Black Bear and the intruder had fought for more than ten minutes!

Even if a victor had truly been decided, neither side could possibly have emerged unscathed!

This was a perfect chance to pick up the spoils!

"Whatever!"

"I'll just take a look from far away!"

"If anything seems wrong, I'll run immediately!"

"..."
