Chapter 9: The Pseudo-Beast Rumor

TL: Etude

"Fierce spotted snake!"

Ye Tian stared at a two-meter-long giant snake five meters in front of him. This snake was not particularly strong, and an ordinary Martial Disciple could handle it. As long as one was not entangled by the snake, they would be fine. But if entangled, even a Martial Warrior with the strength of four or five hundred jin would be unable to break free.

Whoosh!

The spotted snake suddenly lunged at Ye Tian, attacking him.

Ye Tian did not dodge. With his speed, it would have been easy to evade the spotted snake, but there was no need.

Clang!

His blade flashed. The snake's body froze, falling to the ground, and struggling for a moment before dying.

If one looked closely, one could see that the snake's vital point had been cut open. It was Ye Tian's knife that had sliced it.

"Too weak!" Ye Tian shook his head.

He then took the snake's pair of eyes: an item required as proof that he had slain a spotted snake, with a value of 1 point.

The spotted snake was the most common fierce beast in this small wilderness area. It was said that there used to be a giant beastly snake in the area, and these spotted snakes were its descendants. One day, a few Elite Martial Warriors joined together to slay the giant beastly snake, then cleared other beasts in the area, turning it into a small wilderness.

This tidbit was revealed by a teacher on the road, though its authenticity was unknown.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a day had passed, and night was about to fall.

"Today's harvest is not much!" Ye Tian opened his bundle and carefully counted; various materials from fierce beasts amounted to only 23 points.

For the average student, these points were quite good, but they were far from enough to compete for the top three, and even making the top ten would be difficult.

The night was very dangerous. Human eyes, affected by the darkness, had difficulty detecting some beasts, so it was best not to hunt at night, lest one be hunted by the beasts.

In the trees, there were mainly spotted snakes, but as long as one was cautious and observant of the surroundings, it was not easy to be attacked by them.

Even if a snake did approach, Ye Tian's reflexes and speed were enough to handle it.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, after roasting and eating a rabbit, Ye Tian continued hunting.

At this time, he moved deeper into the small wilderness area, for only in the deeper parts were there stronger beasts, worth five or six points each, far more than what could be earned on the outskirts.

"Help!"

"Someone, save us!"

Sparse cries for help reached Ye Tian's ears, accompanied by the howling of wolves.

"Someone's run into a wolf pack?" Ye Tian thought to himself.

After considering for a moment, he sprinted in the direction of the wolf pack. Not that he wanted to save those people, but because wolves were valuable in points, especially the tooth wolves, each worth 10 points, much more profitable than hunting ordinary beasts.

Soon, Ye Tian arrived at an open area, where about a dozen tooth wolves were attacking seven or eight students, with several bodies lying on the ground.
