93: Chapter 93 The Danger That Follows

As the system prompt faded.

"Boom!"

A torrent of energy, cooler than anything he had ever felt before, instantly surged into his mind!

It was as if a riverbed that had been blocked for years had been cleared in an instant.

The world before him suddenly became incredibly clear—the trajectory of the wind and the flow of energy were reflected in his perception like a slow-motion scene!

His mind had never been so clear, and he could command every strand of spiritual power flowing within his body as easily as moving his own arm!

"Holy crap! So this is what it feels like to have high spiritual power?!"

Chen Yi was both surprised and delighted. "Constitution strengthens the physical body, while spiritual power strengthens mental perception and control? This was a huge win!"

He locked his gaze once again on the injured Wind Falcon that had already escaped dozens of meters away and was still flapping about.

"Let's try this again!"

With the same flicking motion, 54 points of spiritual power surged within him, instantly condensing at his fingertips!

"Whoosh—"

This time, the sound of it breaking through the air was sharp and piercing, like the long blast of a steam whistle!

A massive Wind Blade, fully four inches long, condensed to the point of near-solidity, with sharp cyan light flickering along its edges, tore through the sky with speed and power many times greater than before!

The Wind Falcon seemed to sense the fatal danger and tried to dodge in panic!

But, it was too late!

"Pfft—"

The cyan light flashed and vanished!

The Wind Falcon's body stiffened abruptly in mid-air, and then a deep red line of blood appeared across the center of its body.

The next second, its body was sliced neatly into two, just like tofu cut by the sharpest knife!

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs was instantly scattered by the violent gale!

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change!

With an enhancement of 30 spiritual power points, the difference in the skill's power was like heaven and earth?

That's a bit ridiculous!

"Tsk, not bad, not bad!"

Chen Yi flicked his finger.

Feeling the surging spiritual power within his body and looking at the remains of the Wind Falcon cleanly sliced in half in the distance, he felt secretly pleased. "It seems that my combat power now should have no problem soloing an ordinary Tier 3 A-grade spirit beast!"

"Next time I have a chance, I must use more Enhancement Points on spiritual power! This thing improves skill power almost instantly!"

The subsequent battle had no suspense.

The remaining dozens of Wind Falcons didn't even last a minute in front of The girls before they were completely wiped out.

Only a few magic beast crystal cores were left to be collected.

"These little things are really insidious!"

"If it weren't for the map's warning, they might have actually managed to bite us by suddenly burrowing out of the rocks to launch a sneak attack."

"Yeah! It's a good thing we were prepared."

"But what I'm more curious about is the skill Little Brother Chen Yi just used. That seemed to be a Wind Blade, right? Can a Beast Tamer also use our skills?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes of The girls focused on Chen Yi.

Although they were already accustomed to Chen Yi's endless array of magical methods.

But witnessing the Beast Tamer himself perform a spirit beast's combat skill, and with such high power, still brought a huge shock to their hearts!

Chen Yi curled his lips into a smug smile, enjoying the surprised and slightly adoring gazes of The girls. Just as he was about to show off, he said, "I told you, I have plenty of trump cards—"

Before he could finish his sentence.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

A sound of rocks shattering, so dense it made one's scalp tingle, suddenly erupted from above!

A very violent updraft suddenly rose from the bottom of the rift valley, whipping up countless pieces of gravel!

Under the frantic acceleration of the violent gale, these gravel pieces turned into a rain of stones that blotted out the sky, smashing fiercely toward the floating rock area where Chen Yi and his group were located!

"Holy crap! Is this ever going to end?"

Chen Yi's declaration to show off was stifled, and he couldn't help but let out a colorful curse.

"To the left! Hurry! There's a depression under that giant rock!"

"Go!"

"Clang, clang, bang!!!"

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

"Bang, bang, bang!!!"

Dense, large stones slammed into the surrounding rocks like cannonballs!

The hard rock mass was instantly gouged with countless deep pits, and rock fragments splattered everywhere!

Although with the physical fitness of a Tier 3 spirit beast, weathering this stone rain shouldn't be a problem.

But—everyone wasn't a masochist, so why look for trouble?

Finally, five minutes later.

The stone rain finally ceased.

"Whew—it finally stopped!"

"This Five Elements Secret Realm—is simply not a place for people to stay!"

"No wonder the internet says this place has rich resources but a low recommendation rating; this is basically risking your life to make money, but having no life to spend it!"

"It's indeed too dangerous. The Beast Tamers who come here to make money are probably not mediocre people."

Chen Yi observed the environment and everyone's condition, then decisively ordered: "Let's rest here for a while! Replenish water, adjust spiritual power; judging by this, it will probably take several more hours to reach the inner area."

"Okay!!!"

---

Meanwhile.

Just as Chen Yi and his group were resting.

Jia Lahan, along with his two subordinates, followed the path Chen Yi and his group had taken, heading toward the Wind Region.

And behind them, twelve female Contracted Spirit Beasts with numb expressions and varying degrees of injuries followed like walking corpses, showing no reaction to the perilous environment around them.

Looking at them, they must have suffered plenty of torture and abuse in their daily lives.

"Damn it!"

Jia Lahan kicked away a piece of gravel that was in his way. "Are these Dragon Country people brain-dead? Why not take the sunny path in the Light Zone, but insist on drilling into this godforsaken Wind Region? If a few of them fall to their deaths later, I'll skin that kid alive!"

Of course, he didn't care about Chen Yi's life or death, but whether those six top-quality goods were unharmed!

The Contracted Spirit Beasts behind him turned a deaf ear to their master's roaring, with only a deathly gray darkness deep in their eyes.

Capture new sisters?

To them, it was nothing more than a repetition of this hellish life.

"Brother Lahan! Look over there!"

A sharp-eyed subordinate pointed to a giant rock ahead, its edges pitted and scarred. "It's them! They seem to be resting!"

Jia Lahan looked in the direction indicated, and a sinister smile finally appeared on his tense face. "Hahaha! Good! Good! As long as they haven't fallen to their deaths yet! That saves me a lot of trouble! Let's go! Let's go over and say hello!"

However, just as he was about to rush over, he was grabbed by another troublesome subordinate. "Wait, Brother Lahan, you can't! Look at that rock, it's like a sieve. If we start fighting, that broken rock definitely won't hold up, and if those people fall down, it'll all be over!"

Jia Lahan looked closely.

Sure enough, the structure of the giant rock serving as cover was already very fragile, covered in cracks.

His face instantly turned gloomy. "Damn it! What the hell, this is bad luck!"

"Boss, don't be anxious!"

"Since they could make it this far, they must have the ability to reach the inner circle!"

"Although the inner circle of the storm is also dangerous, the terrain is much more open, and the space is stable! Why don't we go around and wait on the only path leading to the inner circle! We'll catch them like turtles in a jar, and after we succeed, we'll withdraw directly through the relatively easier Fire Zone. No one will be the wiser!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Jia Lahan finally snorted heavily. "Fine! We'll do as you say! Let's go!"

He waved his hand, and with his subordinates and those numb spirit beasts, bypassed the giant rock where Chen Yi and the others were, continuing toward the direction of the inner storm circle.
