Feeling Envious

The battlefield where the ferocious beasts clashed was not fully revealed until dawn.

Collapsed stone pillars and broken rocks filled the area for miles around.

Another ferocious beast was crushed beneath the collapsed stone pillar, its body returning to its enormous size. Countless snakes tore and gnawed at the corpse, gradually revealing traces of White Bone, making it difficult to discern its original form.

Traveling in this area on foot is not an easy task.

Zhang Xuezhou had to ride a wave and move forward, while Wang Haoran swayed left and right, also casting a cloud-riding spell to stumble along. He would fall to the ground from time to time because the spell was difficult to stabilize, and he would have to run and cast the spell again.

Zhang Xuezhou stopped casting the spell when the spell was within a hundred meters of everyone's sight.

He glanced at Ren Yisheng standing in front of the white elephant beast, then swept his gaze over a saber-toothed tiger beast that was three zhang long and missing a fang, before focusing on a giant deer lying on the ground vomiting blood, and behind it, a one-horned rhinoceros beast lying on the ground.

At this point, four ferocious beasts were still clinging to life, a number that was unexpected.

Firstly, the group did not expect to encounter a pack of ferocious beasts, resulting in the capture of four beasts in one go. Combined with the eight-legged spider beast, this brought the total to five beasts, an unprecedented number.

Secondly, the unexpected encounter with the Snake King caused the entire hunting plan for the thirteen ferocious beasts to be abruptly cut short, with many of the beasts either dying or escaping, resulting in fewer beasts being hunted than planned.

This means that while there are many ferocious beasts being hunted, the situation is not ideal, and there is even the problem of having to take the beasts away.

Standing in front of the white elephant, Ren Yisheng looked up at the enormous creature a hundred meters away. Qi Meng Haige, Zhou Rihui, Changkong Yinghao, and Changkong Kong Yinglian were behind him, while Changkong Luo and others were on the flanks. Zhong Rang, Li Qi, and others had long needles piercing their bodies, which had eliminated the possibility of an old man's rebellion while minimizing their pain. They were in a semi-conscious state at this time.

The battlefield has come to an end, leaving behind a sense of things being different and unrecognizable.

The beast-hunting expedition continues to progress, and the team is also changing, with some older Sequence Holder falling into the predicament of senile chaos.

Everyone believes they are not the one being consumed, and that there is a possibility of turning the tide; this is a belief that will persist even in the most Changkong Luo.

The chaotic situation involving Song Xianzong, Bi Dazhi, Li Qi, Jiang Ying, and Zhong Rang is not surprising; it reflects the resource consumption situation when Ren Yisheng was pushing forward the plan.

Some will succeed, and some will inevitably fail.

Normally, Song Xianzong and others would be abandoned.

However, a major controversy erupted within the Twilight Mansion team. Some argued that Song Xianzong and others had taken drugs provided by Zhang Xuezhou to stimulate their brain regions, which led to their madness, and they wanted to see if they could return to normal after the effects of the drugs wore off.

Another perspective, based on Qin Zhong's persuasion and the case of Cai Guoli, suggests that Zhang Xuezhou could ask Tuer Shenen for help, thus enabling Song Xianzong and others to escape the chaos of their later years.

Ren Yisheng would often look into the distance, also waiting for Zhang Xuezhou to return.

This involves the leader of the ferocious beasts, as well as negotiations with the Wild Serpent.

Once caught in the middle of the battlefield, Ren Yisheng would find it difficult to extricate himself and could not find any way to break the deadlock. He could only hope that Zhang Xuezhou's pursuit of the ferocious beast leader would bring about a possible change.

A hundred meters away, when Zhang Xuezhou's head peeked out from behind a slope, not only did the arguing elderly Sequence Holder gradually quiet down, but Ren Yisheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether Zhang Xuezhou can bring about change, the fact remains that Zhang Xuezhou has safely returned.

As if he carried a poison-repelling agent, with each step Zhang Xuezhou took, a huge swarm of snakes would frantically swim away from his vicinity, until the area Zhang Xuezhou vacated was reclaimed by the snakes.

In this snake valley, where tens of thousands of snakes of various kinds still live, Zhang Xuezhou moved around with great ease and was not greatly affected.

Occasionally, a large python would block the way or even stand upright, but Wang Haoran would grab it and throw it away.

Deep in the valley, the snake king, whose gaze had been fixed on Ren Yisheng, moved its head for the first time and looked at the uninvited guest as well.

The wild serpent has no human concepts and does not use Gene Sequence to assess strength.

For the Wild Serpent, factors such as vital energy and Qi and Blood are the criteria for judgment, rather than skills, fighting techniques, or the mysteries of Technique Method.

It was undoubtedly keenly aware of the energy of the Realm Technique, which was the ability to drive away snakes, insects, and rodents as soon as Realm Entry. The stronger the perception of such creatures, the easier it was for them to feel the direct power.

For the first time, its body swayed restlessly, and its head kept staring as Zhang Xuezhou moved forward.

When Zhang Xuezhou stood beside Ren Yisheng, Huang She's previous confrontational aura immediately weakened.

This is getting interesting!

Ren Yisheng looked at Zhang Xuezhou, and then at Huang She.

Even Ren Yisheng didn't expect that before he could communicate again, Zhang Xuezhou's arrival would cause the Wild Serpent to retreat.

This is completely different from the previous situation of stubborn resistance and stalemate.

Clearly, Zhang Xuezhou simply intervened and changed the original situation.

"Put away your snakes and their offspring, and we'll leave!"

Ren Yisheng opened his mouth, and like the vibration of a speaker on eardrums, his whistling language was transformed into a kind of spiritual expression.

Zhang Xuezhou watched Ren Yisheng with considerable envy.

This was an imitation chosen by Ren Yisheng based on Hu Hao's mental fluctuations. It had obviously been adjusted and was no longer as harsh and noisy as before.

Ren Yisheng's ability to express himself made Zhang Xuezhou envious. If Ren had possessed such skills before, communication between Zhang Xuezhou and Hu Hao would have been much easier.

But what Zhang Xuezhou admired even more was Ren Yisheng's extraordinary learning and innovation abilities on a spiritual level. He had only heard Hu Hao express himself using mental fluctuations once, Ren Yisheng had already learned most of it and then made adjustments based on his own situation.

Zhang Xuezhou was certain that as long as he had enough exposure and received guidance from Ren Yisheng, he could also learn this way of spiritual communication.

Even if he eventually acquires the same communication skills as Ren Yisheng, Zhang Xuezhou is well aware of the gap between him and Ren Yisheng on a spiritual level.

It's like the difference between a hard-working student and a genius.

Having personally experienced the monstrous genius abilities in another world, Zhang Xuezhou was well aware of the difference between the two.

In the past, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Ren Yisheng's strength was difficult to improve, and that he could keep catching up. He even kept pace with Ren Yisheng through continuous cultivation and had more diverse means than Ren Yisheng through Technique Method. In fact, he possessed power that surpassed Ren Yisheng.

But as his understanding deepened, Zhang Xuezhou realized the gap between the two.

"If Professor Ren had the same opportunities as me, he would be incredibly strong, perhaps even qualified to escape the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon!"

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a little wistful as he thought about it.

Little did they know that Zhang Xuezhou felt envious, and Ren Yisheng felt no different.

After the battle ended, he confronted the wild serpent for nearly two hours. The other party was like an inflexible fool, and he couldn't persuade him no matter what he did.

When Zhang Xuezhou arrived, the serpent retreated on its own initiative.

When Ren Yisheng communicated with the snake again, the enormous snake king nodded, and many other snakes continued to move, gradually making way for a passage leading out of the mountain, clearly agreeing to Ren Yisheng's suggestion.

This inevitably filled Ren Yisheng with envy.
