The three of them rushed forward with all their might. After completely leaving the area marked on the map, what came into view was a jungle.
It was lush and green, and from time to time, they could hear the roars of strange beasts in the distance.
After exchanging a glance, the three of them resolutely chose to step into the jungle.
Soon, they saw the ruined buildings left behind by humans hundreds of years ago, including rusty street lamps and tall buildings that were now just frames of abandoned houses.
The world that once served as a place for humans to live had now become a paradise for strange beasts.
This was the first time Ye Xiang had seen such a scene. In the past, he had only seen the environment of the strange beast territory in books and movies.
Hundreds of years ago, when humans discovered that all thermal weapons were useless, they realized that they had lost this battle completely.
But fortunately, humans also began to undergo job transfers and awakenings, which saved them from the dangerous situation of almost being exterminated by other races.
The three of them walked very carefully in the jungle.
Ye Xiang walked at the front, Song Xinrui was in the middle, Shen Youwei was at the back, and the Tusky Boar and the Little Rotten Snake walked on both sides.
They didn't walk very fast, as caution was the top priority.
Fortunately, they could see a small path that had been trodden by people.
These were all paths trampled out by hunters who came here to hunt, and most of them were on their way to the Hunter's Fishing Port.
So, unless they were particularly powerful strange beasts, they wouldn't come to this path on their own initiative.
Once Ning Chuan became stronger, perhaps it wouldn't be long before the outer city area could be expanded to this place.
Just then, Ye Xiang stopped in his tracks and squinted his eyes slightly as he stared around.
Seeing this, Song Xinrui and Shen Youwei also stopped and looked around warily. Sure enough, they faintly heard a rustling sound.
The next moment, a lot of spider silk suddenly appeared from all directions and shot towards the three of them.
Ye Xiang somehow found a long wooden stick in his hand and his body moved quickly.
Using the wooden stick as a long sword, his figure was elegant yet fierce. Dozens of strands of spider silk that had sneaked up on them were all knocked down and wrapped around the wooden stick.
Ye Xiang was using the Qingfeng Sword Technique.
Then, the wooden stick in his hand flew out of his grasp and suddenly shot towards the trees.
With a puff sound, a Level 14 Six-eyed Flower Spider fell from the tree. The wooden stick went straight through its body. It was almost as big as two human heads and looked very terrifying.
The next moment, more and more Six-eyed Flower Spiders appeared densely around them, staring intently at Ye Xiang and the other two.
Ye Xiang calmly said, "The spider silk is poisonous. Be careful not to touch it."
The reason why he threw the wooden stick was that he found that the spider silk was almost corroding the wooden stick.
Shen Youwei nodded and directly cast a layer of the Moon Goddess Blessing on the three of them. A hazy moonlight covered their whole bodies, and then she directly transformed into a Moon Elf Warrior, with transparent wings spreading out behind her.
"Little Snake, go!"
Song Xinrui commanded the Little Rotten Snake to launch an attack directly. Without any hesitation, the Little Rotten Snake shot out with a whoosh and bit one with each of its two heads.
The Tusky Boar had also been upgraded to Level 15. It looked very fierce and charged straight at a Six-eyed Flower Spider.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, it jumped back with an "ow ow" sound, looking very spineless.
Ye Xiang calmly formed a magic seal with his fingers, and his eyes glowed with a familiar golden light as he stepped forward.
A lot of spider silk shot towards him, but as soon as it touched the golden light on the surface, it immediately melted and disappeared.
Before they could react, Ye Xiang directly punched and exploded a Six-eyed Flower Spider, and colorful liquid splashed everywhere.
But he didn't even blink. He pushed hard with his feet and nimbly jumped onto another tree. With both hands, he grabbed the legs of two Six-eyed Flower Spiders and pulled them down.
Before the two spiders landed, Ye Xiang put his hands together in a sword finger gesture, covered in golden light, and directly pierced through the heads of the two Six-eyed Flower Spiders, killing them.
However, the most efficient one was Shen Youwei. The thin Moonlight Long Sword in her hand glowed with a faint luster. Her sword strikes were simple and fast. Soon, more than a dozen Six-eyed Flower Spiders lay dead beside her.
Standing in mid-air like the Goddess of the Moon, she was elegant even in battle.
The Six-eyed Flower Spider, though it looks terrifying, is not rare. It's even described in textbooks. Generally, after entering the jungle, this type of strange beast is the most common. They hunt in groups. As long as you're not trapped by their spider silk, this kind of strange beast isn't difficult to deal with.
Soon, dozens of Six-eyed Flower Spiders were eliminated, all becoming points for the three of them. Each person's score increased by nearly a hundred points again.
Obviously, although entering the strange beast area is risky, the rewards are great. They've just entered and already started reaping benefits. Compared to yesterday, when they had to travel for most of the day to find a group of strange beasts, it's a world of difference.
After a short adjustment, the three of them continued in the direction of the Hunter's Fishing Port. Before long, they soon heard the sound of flowing water.
After passing through a stretch of jungle, a vast lake came into view.
Seeing the scene in front of them, the eyes of the three of them lit up.
The serene forest, the tranquil lake, the blue sky and white clouds – this beautiful scenery of nature could never be seen in the inner city.
"It's so beautiful..." Shen Youwei couldn't help but whisper softly.
However, it's a pity that in such a beautiful environment, there is danger and mystery everywhere.
"Don't let your guard down too much," Ye Xiang said softly.
He kicked the Tusky Boar, "Go, take a round and come back."
After the boar was upgraded to Level 15, perhaps because it's a summoned beast, its body size isn't large, but its fur has become even tougher. Even if you give it a hard kick, this guy won't even make a sound.
The boar looked full of grievances, but it still turned around and ran forward. Soon, it attracted a lot of strange beasts to chase and bite it.
Obviously, no matter what level the boar is, it's at the bottom of the food chain. Even a Level 10 Alligator Turtle was chasing it.
Ye Xiang formed a magic seal with his fingers, and his body glowed with golden light. He stepped forward and directly eliminated these strange beasts.
After all, they were going to fish later. If these things weren't dealt with, they might launch a sneak attack at any time, and it's also easy to attract higher-level strange beasts.
"I'm going to go into the water now," Ye Xiang said.
"Is it too dangerous?" Shen Youwei couldn't help but ask.
Don't be fooled by the calm appearance of this lake. The fish-like strange beasts beneath the surface are very fierce.
There's no place to gain a foothold when entering the lake, and something might go wrong.
"It's okay. I'm not bad at swimming," Ye Xiang said.
The fish in the lake, due to the fact that they devour each other, aren't low in level. But compared to strange beasts of the same level, they're much easier to deal with.
Ye Xiang took off his upper garment, rolled up his trouser legs, carried the body of the Alligator Turtle, and directly jumped into the lake from the shore.
The lake water was cool and refreshing. However, as soon as Ye Xiang entered the water, black shadows around him immediately started to swim and move.
The smell of blood emanating from the Alligator Turtle immediately attracted a lot of fierce fish-like strange beasts.
Sure enough, the next moment, a series of extremely ugly fish beasts slowly surrounded Ye Xiang.
Almost all of them were above Level 18, and there were even two Level 20 Human-faced Fish Beasts among them.
They had already grown human faces and limbs. If it weren't for the fish scales and gills on their bodies, they would almost look like humans that had degenerated into fish. It was very disgusting.
Ye Xiang looked at these fish beasts and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
On his bare upper body, the Human Immortal Pattern slowly emerged, and powerful strength quickly surged through his whole body.
"If you want to eat me, then come at me!"
