Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 18 Traveling Together
Mental energy is contained.

The keen insight that seemed to know everything vanished like a receding tide.

Ji Fuyou even felt a slight dizziness.

However, he quickly recovered from this state and his gaze immediately fell on his chest.

The stab-proof vest, which could withstand even sharp blades, was torn in three places by the wolf's claws.

This was even after he had pierced the werewolf's skull with a single sword strike, destroying its central nervous system.

"The werewolf seems to be much stronger than the leopard man."

Ji Fuyou came to this conclusion.

He had never fought werewolves in his dreams and lacked experience.

All I know is that he is stronger than the leopard man.

As for speed...

Ji Fuyou glanced at the werewolf whose leg had been severed by a bear trap—it was hard to tell.

He then began to search carefully inside the werewolf's skull.

A moment later, he dug out another white source crystal from it.

This scene surprised him somewhat.

"Isn't it said that the yield of Source Crystals is very low? It's not surprising that you might only get one after hunting ten or eight..."

In addition, he discovered that this source crystal seemed to be slightly smaller than the source crystal inside the leopard's body.

"Isn't the size of the Source Crystal determined by strength?"

He was a little puzzled.

But then, a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in my mind.

fear.

When faced with the leopard man, he was so terrified that he became stiff and unable to move.

How similar this feeling is to being shocked by Pei Zhaoye's mental techniques!

So, is it possible that the leopard man...?

Is it a mental-type orc?

On a spiritual level, it is comparable to the associate senior level.

Unlike the werewolf in front of us, who is at most a mid-level martial artist?
Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment but could not come to a conclusion.

If I can't think of anything, I'll stop thinking about it.

He held the source crystal, tore a small opening in his hand, and quickly channeled its energy into his bloodstream.

Suddenly, the familiar feeling of heat gradually emerged.

His body seemed to be pumped with adrenaline, brimming with inexhaustible energy.

"I wonder if my physique stat has broken 10 yet."

Ji Fuyou speculated.

Even if you haven't mastered the Ming Jin (internal strength) skill, once you break through level 10, you can still pass the exam to become a junior martial artist and work as a martial arts instructor in a martial arts school, earning over ten thousand yuan a month.

However, he knew that now was not the time to consider this issue.

“Things don’t seem to be going as I expected. I was killed by the spider monster more than ten times in Lion Mountain, but that doesn’t mean that the only creature in this fog is the spider monster!”

The werewolf next to me is the best example.

and……

The spider monster is even stronger than the werewolf.

He was experienced and prepared to deal with the spider monster.

But what if there are monsters of the same level as the spider monster in this fog...?

After some thought, Ji Fuyou decided to go back to the spot where he first encountered the spider monster and wait there.

Like rowing against the current, if you don't move forward, you'll fall behind!

In his dream, the monsters he encounters only get stronger and stronger. If he retreats this time, what about next time?

What about the time after that!?
Ji Fuyou immediately took the werewolf's corpse and quickly returned to his hiding place.

Time flows on!

A thick fog filled the surroundings, so heavy that it robbed everyone of their sight.

Aside from relying on hearing and mental acuity, the most familiar way humans see things is no longer of any use.

Ji Fuyou stood in the mist, trying his best to accurately perceive every movement around him without severely depleting his mental energy, waiting for the arrival of his true prey.

half an hour!
Maybe more!

He glanced at his phone, which had automatically shut down...

Buying a tactical watch seems quite necessary.

Just then, Ji Fuyou suddenly heard a shout.

"Is there someone!?"

He looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

Judging by the time, the fog has been there for at least an hour, and the hunters in the surrounding area should be arriving soon.

However, considering the shockingly high price of Source Crystals...

The benefits are exciting.

The danger posed by humans within the mist is no less than that of the strange beasts. Just as Ji Fuyou was considering whether to take cover, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.

"who!?"

The next moment, the three of them suddenly appeared from the mist.

The three formed a tactical formation.

Two in front and one behind.

The first two men wielded swords and axes and were skilled in close combat.

The second person was holding a crossbow, and Ji Fuyou sensed a fluctuation similar to that of a psychic from him.

Upon seeing Ji Fuyou alone, the three men's expressions subtly changed.

"An unfamiliar face?"

The man wielding the battle axe looked at Ji Fuyou with a slightly scrutinizing gaze and said, "I don't think I've ever seen you in the Starlight City hunter circle before? Have you overstepped your bounds?"

Ji Fuyou looked at the three of them but did not speak.

But he gripped the sharp sword tightly in his hand.

At that moment, one of the three suddenly gave a wink.

The man holding the battle axe fixed his gaze on the werewolf corpse, his expression shifting slightly.

After a moment, he finally spoke: "Should we each go find our own?"

"Please."

Ji Fuyou said something, but remained highly alert.

The man with the axe nodded and retreated warily.

Just then, the man holding the crossbow suddenly glanced at Ji Fuyou not far in front of him and suddenly said, "Did you set up the traps on the mountain?"

Ji Fuyou glanced at the three of them.

Both the man with the sword and the man with the crossbow were somewhat disheveled.

The man with the sword also had an arrow wound in his hand, a wound like that...

It was left by a trigger trap.

Furthermore, the place the man had just been looking at was also a trap.

"Those traps were not set up in a short period of time."

Ji Fuyou Road.

The man thought back for a moment; the trap had probably been set up for several days, and Ji Fuyou looked...

His gaze swept over Ji Fuyou's shoes, and his expression suddenly turned fierce: "No! You're the one who set the trap!"

Without his command, the two men, one wielding an axe and the other a sword, quickly surrounded him from the left and right.

"These two traps have caused us quite a bit of trouble. Tell me, how are you going to compensate us for our losses?"

"That's what the man with the crossbow said."

"We're all here to hunt strange beasts, why create unnecessary trouble?"

Ji Fuyou took in all three of them out of the corner of his eye.

"So all the injuries I sustained on my hands were for nothing?"

The man with the sword snorted coldly.

“I marked the trap.”

"With such thick fog, who can see anything?"

"That's your problem."

"Alright, to avoid any accusations of ganging up on us, consider the werewolf corpse as compensation for our medical expenses, okay?"

Corpse?

Even a leopard-man carcass can sell for 10!
Werewolves are stronger than Leopardmen, so selling them for 15 isn't unreasonable, right?
He hadn’t seen what 15 yuan looked like in four years!

You think you can take 15 yuan from him with just one sentence?!

Fed up!

"You go your way, and I'll go mine, isn't that better?"

He crouched slightly, clearly having shifted into an attack stance.

This scene left the three of them completely bewildered.

Their suggestion to go their separate ways was a test, and Ji Fuyou's lack of intervention proved that he couldn't accept them.

So they then asked to take the werewolf's corpse.

If this person still agrees, it proves that he lacks confidence. Next, there will be a lot of compensation for equipment costs, medical expenses, and mental distress. He will not be satisfied until he has extorted millions.

In the fog, if you can't hunt the beasts, you hunt the hunters. You've already risked your life, how can you return empty-handed?

It has to be the exact number.

result……

Such a strong reaction!?
For a moment, all three of them were unsure what to do.

Just as the three were pondering whether to continue probing against such an uncertain opponent, a slight noise suddenly broke the silence of their standoff.

"Fizz!"

A tall figure gradually emerged from the mist.
