Chapter 283 – Spiritual Strength Upsurge

In the Beast Hunting Battalion, there were extremely severe punishments for plotting to murder one’s own companions. But, driven by powerful competition for benefits, tragic events still occurred. To avoid unnecessary deaths as much as possible, every hunting squad within the Beast Hunting Battalion had their own independent transmission array, each one anchored to a different location.

Qin Yu hunted alone and had his own separate residence, so he naturally enjoyed the benefits given to other squads with similar qualifications. Stepping off the transmission array, he first carefully checked his surroundings. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, indicating that no one had been here for a long time. After looking around, he walked out. He was like rolling leaves in the autumn wind, quietly flying outwards.

Almost immediately, a horrendous stench filled his nose and mouth. His complexion didn’t change but his movements became gentler.

Not long after, a group of pitch black monster beasts that lived not too far away from the mountain’s entrance arrived in front of him. A look of understanding crossed Qin Yu’s face. He finally understood why this transmission array hadn’t been discovered by other monster beasts even though it had existed here for so long.

Stinky fox. These monster beasts were appropriately named. Below their pitch black fur, they had developed numerous sweat glands. These secreted liquids that would dissipate when they encountered the air beneath the sunlight, turning into the stench that Qin Yu just smelled.

Human cultivators might be able to endure this stench. But, to monster beasts who had developed extremely keen olfactory senses, this sort of odor represented devastating damage.

The transmission array was constructed deep within the habitat of the stinky foxes. The person who could come up with such a plan was certainly a genius. And, did anyone wonder why the stinky foxes didn’t venture deep into the mountain? One reason was their extremely lazy dispositions, and the second reason was sunlight. Only beneath the sunlight could the liquid secreted from their sweat glands vaporize. With this ability, no creature dared to offend Sir Stink Fox!

Of course, these were all needless details. Right now, what Qin Yu needed to do was leave the mountain without alarming them.

The stinky foxes could be said to have almost no natural enemies, because there were no other creatures that were interested in them. Over the endless years, almost all of their faculties had degenerated. The only things left remaining on their round and pudgy bodies were their two furry and greasy giant ears that preserved their keen sense of hearing. Not even the slightest rustle of the grass could be hidden from them.

When sleeping stinky foxes were awakened, they would immediately spray out a massive amount of sweat and that rich stench would nearly condense into essence. Qin Yu didn’t hope he would suffer such a terrifying baptism.

When he was in the sea region, after swallowing up the strange tumor Qin Yu had obtained an amazing aura-restraining method. He could tighten his flesh and blood and bone, nearly blocking in all of his aura. He was like a shadow, quietly floating forwards, fluttering past the den of deeply slumbering stinky foxes.

Pa –

Around 800 meters away, a monster beast that was gnawing away at a severed head suddenly shook its ears. Its fierce, bloodstained face revealed a look of surprise. Just what sort of monster beast was this? It had actually never encountered it before. There was a hint of a water vapor feeling to it, similar to the sea monster beasts located deep in its inherited bloodline memory.

But this was the wilderness, located on the mainland. How could a sea monster beast possibly appear here? It flung back its head, sending blood and meat scattering everywhere. Its strong and thick hind legs moved and its sleek body rushed forwards like an arrow, soaring directly towards that aura.

However, when this monster beast ran through a dense bush of thorns, a pair of arms suddenly reached out and grabbed its neck.

Kacha –

With a crisp cracking sound, a figure tumbled onto the ground with the monster beast.

Qin Yu happily smiled. With a flick of his sleeves, the monster beast’s corpse was put away. 30 points appeared in his points card with it.

He was only 20 points away from reaching the lowest monthly minimum. As long as he hunted a monster beast of similar strength, he would complete it.

As he thought, this wasn’t difficult at all.

Hu –

With a flash of light, Qin Yu’s figure vanished from sight.

…

In the astral winds above the nine heavens, on the floating mountain where the Beast Hunting Battalion was located, the Lord Commander was sitting with a dark expression, sifting through the jade slip in his hand. After a moment he placed down the jade slip and slowly said, “Brother Xu, immediately inform everyone that all operations within the Beast Hunting Battalion will come to a stop for three days.”

Xu Jiao’s complexion changed. “Commander, is there a real eruption?”

“Mm. Go as quickly as you can. We must prevent as much damage as possible.”

Xu Jiao nodded and hurried away.

Soon, from the signal tower at the summit, news spread through every corner of the floating mountain.

“Emergency notification – due to recent anomalies in heaven and earth spiritual energy, all beast
