Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 41 Is such a good place really dangerous?

The group from Youlin Feiyue had only been running around for a short while when they encountered another group absorbing Mist Spirits.

There were too many people in this group, so they were all standing sideways, fighting close together, and couldn't even swing their fists wide. It was all short, quick combos.

Zhao Youyue led the way and quickly ran over. They hadn't gone far when they found a second Mist Spirit.

The group then surrounded and attacked.

"I heard about the danger from others, but it seems pretty good. Everyone can absorb it, and everyone can find their own. There seem to be quite a lot of Mist Spirits."

Liu Qingqing was overjoyed, feeling only luck.

Fang Yuan calmly said:

“We entered early, while the group that came up for cliff climbing adventures was still in the edge area, and those who entered later were still queuing to enter the Pillar Stone Peak, so there was no conflict for a while.”

Liu Qingqing understood, and then she made an idea.

"Then when we've had enough, and it gets dangerous when there are too many people around, we can leave, and then we'll be safe, right?"

Ma Jin quickly chimed in, "Qingqing's idea is brilliant!"

Ren Xing knew they didn't want to take any risks, preferring to absorb less rather than risk, so he chuckled and replied:
"If you want to leave, will the people who entered from Pillar Stone Peak wait for you to pass?"

"..." Liu Qingqing fell silent, realizing that this terrain was not one she could simply walk through.

Unless you leave via the cliff, the stone pillars at the entrance are all lined with people rushing in.

Ma Jin quickly said, "It's not that bad. Everyone is busy looking for the Mist Spirit and doesn't have time to attack people right now."

Ren Xing glanced at Ma Jin with disdain and said:
"You're so good to her!"

"It should, it should."

"You call yourself a simp? You're absolutely right!"

Ren Xing noticed that Ma Jin didn't understand, so he quickly added something.

"If being nice to others makes you a 'simp,' are your parents your 'simps'?"

Ma Jin retorted, clearly displeased.

"Huh?" Ren Xing didn't seem angry at all; instead, he looked surprised and said, "So you can get angry!"

Why are you bullying Ma Jin!

Liu Qingqing angrily questioned her, already feeling that her words had gone too far.

"It's alright, at least she'll still protect you."

Ren Xing smiled and surprisingly didn't argue with them.

Lin Xiufeng had long noticed that Ren Xing, though quite beautiful and clearly a person of strong emotions, was perhaps a little too temperamental, to the point of being unpredictable...

Lin Xiufeng felt that calling her willful was more appropriate.

After defeating the second Mist Spirit, Lin Xiufeng turned around seemingly casually, and in the process, his hand casually grabbed the colorful little light orb and threw it into his zippered pocket.

"Everyone, please report the amount of Tianwuli you absorbed."

Zhao Youyue noted down everyone's data and basically drew a conclusion.

If six people absorb a wisp of mist spirit, even the slowest one can increase their Heavenly Martial Power by one-twentieth.

The fastest is about one-tenth.

"Ma Jin and I can break through by absorbing twenty Mist Spirits!"

Liu Qingqing was very excited.

Ma Jin also couldn't hide his joy.

Fang Yuan and Ren Xing improved by one-fourteenth.

Despite his seemingly explosive offensive capabilities, Ren Xing's actual damage to Wu Ling was not as high as Fang Yuan's.

Zhao Youyue and Lin Xiufeng both scored in the top ten twice.

Several people ran around searching and saw a light in the dark, colorful mist, so they immediately ran over.

But they encountered an allied group.

So they kept running past it until they found another one.

Lin Xiufeng observed Fang Yuan and discovered that Fang Yuan also frequently paid attention to him and Zhao Youyue.

They clearly wanted to further increase the damage to the Mist Spirit, but to no avail.

During this time, Fang Yuan also helped Ren Xing adjust his attack rhythm to make it more stable and faster.

Lin Xiufeng also didn't notice anything wrong with Fang Yuan's attack rhythm; it was obviously due to the power difference brought about by the different levels of the Heavenly Martial Soul.

After all, a first-level Heavenly Martial Soul is about 10% stronger.

The difference is even greater when combined with the strength advantage afforded by height and build.

Zhao Youyue silently recorded the time it took for the Mist Spirit to be discovered and to absorb all its energy three times.

They are two and a half minutes, four minutes, and seven minutes respectively.

Lin Xiufeng considered making the suggestion:

"To improve efficiency, I suggest we split into three teams to search. Whoever finds it first should call out, and once everyone has found it, we can absorb it directly."

"There are many Foglings now, and the surrounding area is full of allies, so there shouldn't be any security issues."

Zhao Youyue had also been considering optimizing efficiency, the key being to absorb as much as possible when there weren't many people around, because good times would soon be gone.

"Won't this cause dissatisfaction among other groups?" "The sooner you take advantage, the better. Maybe some other groups are already doing this."

Lin Xiufeng didn't have that many concerns.

Ren Xing said impatiently, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's take action now!"

"Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing will continue absorbing, while we will split into two groups."

Lin Xiufeng grabbed Zhao Youyue and pulled her away.

The two had been running through the dark, colorful mist for a short while when they saw light again.

I ran over, and luckily, no one had taken it first.

As the two were absorbing the nutrients, Zhao Youyue said:

Wouldn't it be more efficient to have one person in a team?

"If this place is attacked, the energy from the Heavenly Martial Force won't be able to spread out. If we're surrounded and ambushed, we might not even have time to shout. Wouldn't that be luring other groups to attack us from behind?"

If Lin Xiufeng hadn't had this consideration, he would have suggested breaking it down into smaller parts earlier.

Zhao Youyue understood. If either of them shouted, the attacking group would violate the alliance and find themselves in a situation where their allies would jointly attack them.

Whether or not someone cuts down the trees is not important; what is important is:
Given the current abundance of fog spirits, you can find them by running a short distance; there's no need, and really no need.

Zhao Youyue originally wanted to ask if there were any invisible small light beads, but she was worried that it would be very bad if someone was nearby in the thick fog.

So he kept quiet and left it for the future.

It took the two of them more than four minutes to completely absorb the cloud of mist.

Lin Xiufeng, without any attempt to hide his true feelings, grabbed the colorful little light bead and stuffed it into his pocket.

Then they heard Liu Qingqing shout, "Youlin Feiyue!"

The two followed the sound and found Liu Qingqing guarding the mist spirit.

Where is Ma Jin?

"It's right next to us. The one that was just absorbing the light hadn't finished yet when it suddenly saw the light over here. Ma Jin asked me to hold it for you."

Liu Qingqing pointed to the side, then ran back after speaking.

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue had finished absorbing the energy, but Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing hadn't finished absorbing the earlier wisp of mist.

The two continued their search for the Fog Spirit.

They hadn't gone far when they suddenly heard Liu Qingqing shout:

"Youlin Feiyue of the 11th Regiment! Robbed!"

The sound rang out, and in an instant, roars echoed throughout the mountains and forests.

"Thirteen Alliances! Unite against outsiders! If you don't get out, we'll kill you all!"

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue had just arrived when they saw the figure disappear into the thick fog.

Ma Jin hurriedly shouted, "The scoundrels have retreated!"

The sounds echoed through the mountains and forests once again:
"With the Thirteen Alliances here, even rats must retreat!"

Ren Xing rushed over and, seeing that nothing was wrong, turned back to continue absorbing the mist spirit.

In such a short time, Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing had also finished absorbing the nutrients.

Based on the source of the allies' voices, Lin Xiufeng pointed in a direction and directed Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing to go there.

He and Zhao Youyue headed to the other side, and as expected, they did not encounter any allies, but instead found the Mist Spirits that no one was absorbing.

The two absorbed the energy for more than four minutes, during which they both broke through to the eighth level of the Heavenly Martial Soul.

"This is too easy! The True Holy Land of Mist Spirit!"

Lin Xiufeng also felt that she had made the right choice in coming.

Just then, suddenly, from high in the mountains, Wang Guan's voice shouted:
"With the Thirteen Alliances here, even rats must retreat!"

This was agreed upon; whenever someone encountered an intruder, regardless of whether there was any robbery, they would shout this phrase.

This means that more and more people are coming in, and this trend will continue.

From then on, everyone would shout once every five minutes, led by Wang Guan, and the others would respond once.

In this way, those who later enter the Misty Forest Mountain Range and run to the vicinity will hear of this power and go elsewhere, allowing the mountain to remain peaceful for longer.

And so, shouts echoed throughout the mountains and forests once again.

"With the Thirteen Alliances here, even rats must retreat!"

At first glance, it sounds like there are people everywhere, from the top of the mountain to the bottom, creating an impressive scene.

The use of hateful terms like "rat" was Wang Guan's suggestion, intended to intimidate others through such aggression.

As it turned out, the effect was good.

More and more Tianwu Po who were flocking to the Wulin Mountain area chose to go around the mountain after hearing the loud explosion.

Lin Xiufeng continued to search for the Mist Spirit through the gaps between the sources of the shouts from his allies.

The light in the thick fog ahead indicates the presence of fog spirits.

But the light was a bit too strong.

As Lin Xiufeng passed through the mist and looked at the mist spirit, he was surprised to find that this mist spirit was a size larger than the previous one.
