The third day after leaving Penglai City.
Qin Ze sat on the back of the Abyss Puppet, soaring above the clouds, his mind filled with the noisy chatter of his clones.
"When will you add teleportation points? Exploring the open world is too slow."
"Slow? Do you even understand the meaning of travel? The focus is on the scenery along the way."
"Why watch a game in the middle of nowhere?"
"Being able to watch the game is great."
You'd better say "ball".
"I suggest skipping directly to the 'bloodbath' segment."
Me too.
"..."
As the Captain mentioned before, the Abyss beasts are becoming increasingly active.
Along the way, Qin Ze encountered many small, spontaneously formed herds of beasts.
As the first Strange God awakened from the Chaos, the beasts no longer huddled together to protect the Chaos Egg, but instead, like rabid dogs released from their cages, they attacked people indiscriminately.
After the Strange God led his forces to conquer the third world, he stopped.
It gives the impression of someone who has overeaten and is slowly digesting.
Myriad Races breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to catch their breath for a moment.
After visiting his Second Sister, Qin Ze planned to track down the Strange God and see what kind of strength this little brother possessed.
If it were one of those worthless scoundrels who had previously competed with him for the Chaos Egg, Qin Ze could send them straight to meet Chaos.
The Captain's voice suddenly rang out on the Local Area Network: "Good news, bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
Qin Ze said, "I want to listen to both of them together."
Captain: " Aba Aba Aba..."
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth. "Let me tell you the bad news first."
The Captain replied, "A beast tide is brewing near the Sea of Glaze. The Flying Circus Man have detected signs of an S-class monster appearing."
The strongest forces in the Sea of Glaze right now are only the Giant Overlord and the Captain.
Dealing with both S-class alien beasts and beast tides is indeed quite challenging.
Qin Ze thought for a moment and said, "Have the Queen contact the Molten Steel People and tell them it's my idea to have them send a group of Advanced Martial Artist to provide support."
The Molten Steel People have a deeper foundation than the Sea of Glaze; if they open a large Furnace, they can handle almost 80% of the beast tides.
The Captain chuckled, "Great minds think alike, I think so too."
For important matters, he still needed the approval of the Pretty God herself; he couldn't bypass her.
Qin Ze asked calmly, "And the good news?"
The Captain replied, "The two pieces of cowhide you had the Molten Steel People forge are finished and have just been delivered to the Sea of Glaze."
"I've checked it; there was no corner-cutting. It barely reaches the level of Demigod artifact."
Qin Ze said, "Give it to Giant Overlord."
With its Giant Overlord and impressive build, it's comparable to a level Level Nine Martial Artist, and can easily handle S-class beasts.
The Captain said, "That's what I think too."
The Dharma King, "Don't think I don't know what's in your dog's belly. Giving it back to the Giant Overlord is like trying to sew cowhide onto a ship, isn't it?"
The Captain sighed. "What about trust?"
"This is truly chilling; I'm going to remain anonymous."
Qin Ze increasingly felt that Niuniu was a treasure from head to toe.
Two pieces of cowhide can be put together to make a Demigod; if you peel off the whole hide, wouldn't it take off like a rocket?
Qin Ze suddenly thought of the severed arm he had merged with the God of Machinery; it was a real pity he hadn't been able to retrieve it.
Thinking of this, Qin Ze called out to Thousand Faces on the Local Area Network.
Where are we?
Thousand Faces replied, "We're on our way to meet up with Old Deng, our guide."
"My performance this time was pretty good," Niuniu with a verbal compliment.
Qin Ze asked, "Can you still pass on the fire?"
Thousand Faces said, "Of course, my main profession now is Battle General, and my secondary profession is Preacher; I cultivate both."
It would be good if he could still preach.
Qin Ze could already see the cowhide beckoning to him.
Life is getting better and better.
Qin Ze said calmly, "Work hard and strive to become the top leader of the club."
If Thousand Faces can advance to the level of Strange God, that would be excellent; it all depends on whether Niuniu can provide the necessary support.
My painting!
Miss Sword Case suddenly let out a sharp, explosive sound.
Qin Ze turned his head and saw that it was a blind flying beast that had ruined Miss Sword Case's newly completed creation.
The enraged Miss Sword Case immediately ordered her three children to riddle the beast with holes.
Qin Ze frowned.
Beasts will not approach the Abyss Puppet.
But that guy just now seemed to have no eyes, charging recklessly towards Abyss Puppet.
Brother Devour said in a deep voice, "Someone has made a hole in the top of our heads."
Qin Ze looked up and saw a spatial gate brewing.
One after another, strange beasts fell down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
As if sensing something, Abyss Puppet suddenly accelerated and left the area.
"Turn around."
The Abyss Puppet made a turn and hovered near the spatial gate.
Once the portal stabilized, more and more strange beasts fell, their numbers comparable to a small-scale beast tide.
Brother Devour said in a deep voice, "This spatial portal didn't form on its own. Someone tampered with it; there are artificial Space Rule set up nearby."
Qin Ze clicked his tongue in amazement. "Interesting. To be able to gather so many exotic beasts in such a short time is truly divine."
Once the strange beasts on the ground gathered to a certain size, they were instantly annihilated by an invisible force, turning into countless severed limbs and broken bodies.
The alien beasts released through the spatial gate are generally of low level, only around F-rank.
But being able to instantly kill so many low-level beasts shows that he must possess some strength.
In just a few minutes, tens of thousands of strange beasts had been slaughtered, and blood flowed like a river.
Just then, the severed limbs and animal blood on the ground suddenly began to flow, converging into thin lines.
These lines intersect and crisscross, forming an extremely complex and massive pattern.
Circles, stars, triangles, and twisted lines are nested together.
The pattern kept spreading outwards, showing no sign of stopping.
Qin Ze, who was secretly observing, murmured, "An array."
However, Qin Ze cannot yet discern the specific effects of this formation.
The Dharma King said, "The person who set up this formation, offering so many exotic beasts as sacrifices, is truly ruthless."
A Bing slapped his thigh. "Oh no, could they be coming for us?"
The Mist Lord shook his head. "We're just passing through. The route was only decided recently. Such a massive and complex formation isn't something we started on a whim."
The Magician looked around. "Where is everyone? I can't see a single person."
Upon closer inspection, Qin Ze noticed a circular blank space in the center of the pattern, seemingly waiting for something to fill it.
"Roar--"
A mid-level alien beast was released from the spatial portal.
Unlike the previous low-level beasts that were "drowsy," it remained somewhat conscious.
Upon seeing Abyss Puppet, it let out a deafening roar as if in response.
Bang--
Qin Ze killed him with a single blow, then frowned and said, "Damn it, we've been discovered."
Sure enough, the next second, the clouds surrounding the Abyss Puppet were pushed aside by an invisible force.
Qin Ze and the others were thus openly exposed above the formation.
Buzz--
A white sword aura attacked from the back of a hillside, heading straight for Abyss Puppet's head.
Qin Ze's expression changed. "How dare you! You dare kill the horse of the God of Greed!"
