Chapter 186 Use the old, the weak, the sick and the sick as bait for the shadow behemoth?! (6020 wor
"This is the northern edge of the Broken Soul Mountain Range."
The woman on the back of the dragon-blooded lion said: "More than twenty miles further north is the Sparkling Firefly Swamp."
Chen Fan and the four of them found a clearing in the forest and sat down.
Three days...
This journey went smoothly without encountering anyone from the Nightmare Garden.
However, there are many monsters in the Broken Soul Mountain Range. Once you reach the central area, monsters of more than ten levels can be seen everywhere.
The four of them led a group of beasts, and they almost came all the way.
Chen Fan took a sip of water and checked the system panel.
【System energy】:3656898
[Host]: Chen Fan
[Level]: Third level, fifth level
【Star Power】:3799 Card+
[Mental Power]: 452 Hertz+
[Lingtai]: 5 floors +
After discovering that the system energy had increased to over 100W the night before yesterday, Chen Fan immediately used the system energy to build a fifth-level spiritual platform, breaking through to the third level and fifth level.
We are not really out of the crisis yet.
If your strength can be improved a little, just improve it a little.
Because the breakthrough was too fast in a short period of time, Chen Fan's foundation was unstable and it was a little difficult to control the power of the surge.
So along the way, he chose to be the vanguard and kept killing people along the way.
After three days of fighting, although Chen Fan did not break through again in his cultivation realm, Chen Fan was able to control the power of the third and fifth levels of heaven with ease.
It's a pity that the current system energy is still not enough to activate the Nine Sky-Breaking Swords and the Void Divine Body.
On the system panel, the Nine Blades of Duan Tian are still gray.
The Nine Heaven-Breaking Swords that Chen Fan learned came from his senior brother Bai Baiyu, so if he wants to activate the Nine Heaven-Breaking Swords, he still needs to consume 220W of system energy.
Turning on the Nine Heaven-Breaking Swords is only the first step. The first one below requires 380W of system energy.
If the system energy is sufficient, Chen Fan will definitely initiate this first blow without hesitation.
This sword skill is too profound...
Bai Tianyu taught him this set of sword skills by consuming his soul power, which was equivalent to passing on to him all his years of experience and insights.
But even so, Chen Fan's first sword in such a long time has only penetrated the nine swords.
The first sword of the Nine Cutting Heaven Swords is actually made up of ninety-nine and eighty-one swords. Not only must the ninety-nine and eighty-one swords be thoroughly understood, but in the end, the ninety-nine and eighty-one swords must be integrated and condensed into one sword.
Consider it a success.
If the system energy is sufficient and the first sword is activated directly, it would be equivalent to Chen Fan directly penetrating the first sword!
This is the first sword of the Nine Cutting Heaven Swords. I dare not say that it is too high, but it shouldn't be a big problem to kill several fifth-level swordsmen with one sword.
But now the system energy is only 365W.
It looks like we have to wait a few days.
The issue of the insect wave in East China Sea City is already coming to an end.
Although Chen Fan worked hard to breed beasts in the ten days before coming to the Demon City, the number of insects outside Donghai City was getting smaller and smaller, so in the past few days, the increase in system energy has been much lower than before.
It is probably impossible to imagine the system energy increasing by one to two million in one night as before.
Chen Fan was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up.
Ye Hao was stunned: "Brother Fan, what's wrong?"
Chen Fan said calmly: "If your stomach feels uncomfortable, find a place to relax."
Ye Hao also stood up: "I'll go too, my stomach doesn't feel good either."
"Get lost!" Chen Fan said: "What the hell do you want to form a team? I'll go to the west, you go to the east!"
Ye Hao had no choice but to walk to the east: "Naotao, keep an eye on that woman, don't let her get away."
The woman just wanted to speak...
Shen Taotao turned the hilt of his sword upside down and stabbed the woman in the head.
"Bang!"
The woman fell to the ground and fainted.
Shen Taotao said: "This way you don't have to worry."
Henry Chu glanced at the woman on the ground speechlessly.
There are bumps all over the woman's head.
Every time he wanted to do something, Chen Fan would habitually knock her unconscious.
Now even Shen Daotao has learned it.
…
Chen Fan didn't want to poop at all.
He wanted to stay away and directly use the system energy to break through to the fourth level.
Compared with the fourth level and the fifth level, although they seem to be only a little bit different, in fact they are worlds apart.
Unless someone like Chen Fan has learned peerless sword skills like the Nine Heaven-Breaking Swords, or has a high-grade mysterious weapon like the Heaven-Breaking Devil Sword in his hand, it is impossible for an ordinary third-grade fifth-level sword to attack the fourth-grade sword.
After reaching the fourth level, star power can condense star power armor.
Just this layer of defense can surpass most low-level armors!
Chen Fan looked back at Henry Chu, then walked around behind the rugged rocks.
Keep a low profile...
These guys have been hit hard these days.
In two or three days, a three-story spiritual platform was built, which made Henry Chu feel a little autistic now.
If he were to break through to the fourth level after seeing himself pooping wildly again, even a character like Henry Chu would probably want to vomit blood.
After walking out for a while, Chen Fan sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
[Lingtai]: 5 floors +
The spiritual platform has only five floors in total.
But after breaking through to the fifth floor, there is still a + sign behind it.
Obviously, this is the last level to break through from the third level and the fifth level to the fourth level!
Chen Fan took a deep breath, gathered his energy, and clicked on the + sign behind the fifth floor.
[Consume 150W system energy, solidify the sea of stars, and break through to the fourth level. Please click yes to confirm! 】
This last step actually requires 150W system energy.
In future practice, if you want to directly improve the system energy, the energy consumed will be very huge.
After arriving in the magic city, you must carry out "breeding the beast" to the end.
When the number of cultivated beasts reaches a certain level, the energy of the system can skyrocket!
There has been a wave of insects in this Nightmare Garden, and they have given me a "rich gift"!
But after arriving in the magic city, it is not so easy to encounter such "gifts" again.
Chen Fan pondered for a moment and clicked "Yes".
The next moment...
"boom!"
His body shook violently!
The evil energy in the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly gathered towards him like a rolling flood!
The step to break through from the third-level realm to the fourth-level realm is to absorb the Yin evil energy between heaven and earth, cast a spiritual platform, and let the Yin evil energy merge with the star power in the body.
Now Chen Fan's nine spiritual towers already have five levels, and this is the only thing missing!
As the evil energy from the surrounding heaven and earth poured in, the sea of stars surrounded by nine spiritual towers in the middle immediately condensed and compressed quickly, turning into a layer of spiritual towers!
Immediately...
The star power on the nine spiritual platforms starts to circulate, connecting quickly and connecting with each other!
Centered on the star platform in the middle, a mysterious star array diagram was quickly formed!
And as the star array took shape, the star power in the surrounding heaven and earth immediately gathered towards Chen Fan at a faster speed.
Although the star platform transformed from the sea of stars is much smaller than before, it is like a black hole, madly devouring the star power in the surrounding heaven and earth.
"boom!"
Chen Fan's body shook violently again.
On the star platform, a "Heaven Gate" that leads to nowhere quickly condensed!
The stars are falling all over the sky...
Finally broke through to the fourth level!
The eight meridians lead to the nine orifices.
The nine orifices determine the ten directions.
Shifang Huiling Platform.
Climb the spiritual platform to the Heavenly Gate!
The first-level realm requires the opening of eight meridians, so it is also called the eight meridians realm.
The second-level realm requires access to the nine orifices, so it is also called the nine orifices realm.
The third level realm must determine the ten directions, so it is also called the ten directions realm.
The fourth level realm is called Lingtai realm, so it is also called Lingtai realm.
As for the fifth-level realm, one has to climb to the Heavenly Gate, which is called the Heavenly Gate realm!
【System energy】:2156970
[Host]: Chen Fan
[Level]: Fourth grade
[Star Power]: 3949 cards +
[Mental Power]: 465 Hz+
【Tianmen Progress】:1%
After glancing at the system panel, Chen Fan stood up.
In just this moment, the system energy increased a little bit.
Chen Fan thought slightly, activated his star power, and immediately covered his body with a film-like star power.
"Bang!"
This layer of star power exploded before it completely covered the whole body.
Chen Fan frowned.
The "Star Power Armor" after the fourth level seems to require unique skills.
Let’s ask the old leader later.
Or you can ask the instructor after arriving at the No. 1 Martial Arts University in Shanghai.
Chen Fan looked at a large tree with a diameter of more than three feet in front of him. He flipped his wrist and his fist immediately flashed with light.
But just when he was about to punch the big tree...
A faint human voice suddenly came from ahead.
"Someone!"
Chen Fan shook his fist slightly and withdrew his star power.
Then, two summoning circles appeared next to him, and Lao Yuan and Xiao Hei crawled out of the summoning circles.
Xiao Hei soared into the sky.
The old ape used the "Shadow Canopy" to envelop Chen Fan.
Chen Fan took advantage of the cover of the old ape's shadow sky and quietly moved toward the direction where the human voice was coming from.
After a while, the scene on the mountain road ahead appeared in Chen Fan's sight.
On the mountain road, I saw a group of armored beast masters walking over with a group of beast masters, pressing down on a group of people who were tied up with five flowers.
The group of people who were tied up by Five Flowers included young and old, men and women.
Everyone's body was covered with scars and bleeding.
Some children cried as they walked.
But their cries were met with crazy whippings!
For a moment, cries, curses, screams, and the ferocious roars of the beasts were mixed together.
Looking at this scene, Chen Fan thought he had traveled to another ancient world.
Why do you see this scene on the northern edge of the Broken Soul Mountain Range?
Who are they?
Chen Fan's eyes quickly swept over the tied people.
The properties panel does not appear.
They are neither monsters nor aliens!
What's going on?
"Go faster! If you delay our important event, none of you will survive!"
"A bunch of garbage, slow and slow, delaying my business!"
"If you can't reach the Firefly Swamp before dark, I'll kill you and feed them to the wild dogs!"
The whip kept falling on those people.
The screams kept sounding.
The screams of adults and children made the group of armored beast masters become even more crazy.
Some of them even burst into laughter, completely treating the whipping of these old, weak, sick and young as a matter of fun.
Chen Fan's eyes became colder and colder.
His eyes quickly glanced over the beasts.
Eight royal beasts...
The lowest level beast is a level 9 cleft-hoofed ox;
The highest level beast is a level 13 swamp flying snake;
The remaining six beasts are all level 10 or above.
It seems that the cultivation level of this group of beast masters should be around the third level.
Chen Fan watched the group of people gradually disappear.
After they disappeared around the corner of the mountain col ahead, Chen Fan waved and called Xiao Hei down.
At the same time, he summoned Xiao Qing.
"Xiao Hei, you, Xiao Qing and Lao Yuan, go back to find Xuan Chu and the others, and tell them what happened to me. Then you, Xiao Qing, and Xuan Chu and the others will find a place to hide nearby."
Chen Fan said in a deep voice: "I'll follow you to see what's going on."
Xiao Hei said: "Aren't you going to let Henry Chu and the others pass?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "It's difficult to do things with a large number of people, and most of those people are at the third level or above. It would be too dangerous for Chu Xuan and the others to follow them."
Xiao Hei nodded, and walked back and forth with Xiao Qing and Lao Yuan.
Chen Fan put the long knife behind his back, hunched over his waist, and followed quickly like a ghost.
After breaking through to the fourth level, even though he didn't exert much force, his speed during actions was much faster than before.
A few minutes later…
Chen Fan then caught up with that group of people.
Among the group of people who were tied up, two children who looked to be no more than seven or eight years old seemed to have lost their strength and fell to the ground.
Two beastmasters, a man and a woman, were beating the two children on the ground hard with whips.
Amidst the heartbreaking cries, the man and the woman burst into laughter.
Chen Fan picked off a leaf, poked a few holes in the leaf, strung a vine on it, made a mask, and put it on his face.
Then, he took off the long knife on his back.
Holding the scabbard in his left hand, Chen Fan walked out of the woods with cold eyes.
"Who!"
Among the group of beast masters, someone saw Chen Fan walking out of the forest.
A group of beast masters and beast masters glanced at Chen Fan at the same time!
Chen Fan didn't speak, but walked slowly step by step.
"Things that hide their heads but reveal their tails..."
The man riding on the level 13 swamp flying snake said coldly: "Kill him!"
A beastmaster wearing armor immediately came over with a black flame rat that was larger than an ordinary cow.
Chen Fan walked towards the black flame rat step by step.
"hiss!"
After the Black Flame Rat got a little closer, it took the beast master on its back and pounced directly on Chen Fan!
"Qiang!"
The long sword in Chen Fan's hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sword struck down, splitting the man and the black flame rat into two instantly!
"Be bold!"
"court death!"
When a group of beast masters saw their companions being killed, they were immediately furious!
Except for the level 13 beast master and the level 12 beast master, other beast masters and beast masters surrounded Chen Fan at the same time!
Among the children who were tied up, many of them had their legs weak and fell to the ground!
"Crack!"
Just when a group of people gathered around and the beasts were about to release their skills, Chen Fan suddenly disappeared out of thin air!
The next moment...
"brush!"
Chen Fan appeared out of thin air right in front of the level 13 swamp flying snake!
The sword flashed with thunderous light and slashed at the man on the swamp flying snake!
"What a courage!"
The man shouted angrily, and with a flash of light from the spear in his hand, it hit Chen Fan's long knife like a stick.
"when!"
The overbearing sword light cut off the spear with one strike, and then split the man and the swamp flying snake into two halves at the same time!
A beast master at the early stage of the third level and level 13 couldn't even block Chen Fan's sword!
The other six people turned around and looked at the killed captain, dumbfounded!
Immediately, a group of people screamed and scattered in all directions, trying to escape!
"Can you leave?"
Chen Fan pushed hard with his feet, and the person rushed out like a cannonball. He was still more than eight meters away from the person in front, and he swept out with his sword!
"boom!"
Blood light burst out, and the bodies of the beast master and the beast master exploded at the same time!
Chen Fan swayed and quickly caught up with those people, striking them one by one without mercy!
By the time he finished killing five people, the last man had already escaped more than a hundred meters away!
But Chen Fan dodged past the two thunderbolts and immediately chased after the man!
"No!"
When the man found out that Chen Fan was chasing him, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a bang: "Please, please don't kill me!"
"Those people you tied up also begged you for the same thing." Chen Fan casually swung the long knife in his hand and chopped the jungle bear next to the person into two pieces.
Seeing his own beast being killed, the man became even more frightened. He lay on the ground and trembled, wanting to run but not daring to run!
Chen Fan squatted down and said calmly: "Who are you? With such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who have not awakened, where do you want to go and what do you do?"
"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you; or if I think you are lying to me, I will kill you; if you hide something, I will also kill you... In fact, you have to work very hard to be able to
Save this little life."
"Did you understand what I said? If not, I will kill you right now."
The man swallowed hard and said: "I...we are members of the Li family in the Magic City. This time we captured some unawakened people and wanted to use them as bait to lure out the shadow beasts from the Sparkling Fireflies Swamp.
"
"None of this has anything to do with me, I'm just following orders..."
"It was Li Xinghe, the eldest young master of the Li family, who did it. He ordered us to do this!"
The Shadow Beast of Glowing Swamp?
Chen Fan's expression moved slightly.
The female star warrior from the Nightmare Garden who was captured before once mentioned that there was only one shadow beast in the Sparkling Fireflies Swamp ahead that was more threatening.
What kind of Li Xinghe, the eldest young master of the Li family, actually used living people as bait to lure out the shadow beast?
What is the difference between this kind of crazy person and the scum of the Nightmare Garden?
Chen Fan stood up and said solemnly: "Li Xinghe wants to capture the shadow beast?"
The man kneeling on the ground nodded repeatedly: "The shadow beast is a very rare monster. Li Xinghe wants to capture it alive, just to conquer the shadow beast and let the shadow beast sign a contract with him!"
Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly: "What kind of cultivation level is Li Xinghe? What masters are there around him?"
The man on the ground said: "Li Xinghe is a fourth-grade second-level heaven. This time he brought two fourth-grade third-level beast masters with him... They have now arrived at the Dust Mist Canyon in the Sparkling Firefly Swamp."
"We are escorting this group of people to the Dust and Mist Canyon..."
"Pfft!"
The long knife in Chen Fan's hand cut the man's neck.
The man covered his neck with both hands and looked at Chen Fan with wide eyes. After struggling for a while, he fell to the ground and died.
Chen Fan jumped around in the jungle and soon returned to the mountain road.
On the mountain road, the group of people who were tied up had actually taken the opportunity to break free from the ropes!
Chen Fan's expression moved slightly.
There seems to be a star warrior among these people?
At this time, seeing Chen Fan return, a woman in her mid-twenties came out of the group and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving me!"
Chen Fan looked at the woman, tilted his head and asked, "Are you a star warrior or a beast master?"
The woman quickly said: "I am a star warrior, second grade and second heaven."
Even the second-grade and first-level star warriors were captured as bait. In this magical city, the Li family...
Chen Fan glanced at the group of people behind the woman and asked: "Besides you, is there anyone else who is a star warrior or a beast master?"
The woman said: "There are three more star warriors, but their cultivation is only the first and fifth level."
Hearing this, Chen Fan frowned.
Most of the monsters in Sparkling Swamp are level 8 or above.
It would be too difficult for a second-grade, second-level heavenly star warrior, plus three first-grade, fifth-level heavenly warriors to protect such a large group of people.
Chen Fan looked at that group of people and felt a little headache.
He is also being hunted now.
It is unrealistic to escort such a large group of people.
But leaving them here to fend for themselves is something Chen Fan can't do.
After a moment of silence, Chen Fan pointed to the pile of corpses and said: "Of the group of people I killed, several of them still had intact armor. They also had shield-type wrist guards on them, and their levels were not low.
Weapons..."
"Go get those equipment. Do you have the confidence to walk out of the Sparkling Fireflies Swamp?"
The woman smiled bitterly and said: "It is very difficult, but we have no choice."
Suddenly, a little girl came over and said, "Brother, thank you for saving us...can you take us away?"
Chen Fan sighed softly and said: "I am also being hunted. It will be inconvenient to take you with me... but it may bring you disaster."
"Besides, Li Xinghe also arrested a group of people, and I want to go over and have a look."
The little girl opened her eyes wide and nodded fiercely: "Then... then you go!"
"We...we will get out of this swamp ourselves!"
"Be good!" Chen Fan smiled slightly and reached out to touch the little girl's head.
Then, he looked at the woman and said, "Do you know how to get to the Dust Mist Canyon in Shining Firefly Swamp?"
The woman nodded and said: "Go northwest from here, about one hundred and eighty miles away, and you will reach the Dust Mist Canyon."
"They just want to take us to Dust Fog Canyon and use us as bait to catch the shadow beast."
Chen Fan nodded slightly: "Change the direction and go northeast. Be careful on the road."
After leaving a few words, he rushed into the jungle and headed northwest.
A little further ahead is the Firefly Swamp.
Chen Fan walked quickly through the jungle.
In his mind, the helpless and despairing looks of the children from before kept reappearing.
An unspeakable murderous intention rose in his heart.
At this moment, Chen Fan's eyes became a little scary.
He has never wanted to kill people as much as he does now!
