Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

On the other hand, the situation for Wang Teng and others is not optimistic.

"My friend, we have no past grievances or present conflicts, so there must be some misunderstanding."

"We don't know where we offended you. If we have, we are willing to apologize." Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Wang Teng's forehead.

That person is at the half-step Martial Master level, and is not someone the three of them can afford to provoke.

"Can we discuss the terms?"

He was calculating in his mind: if they could reason with him, they would; if not, he wouldn't mind paving the way with money.

Seeing that the crew-cut boy was unmoved, Wang Teng quickly added more conditions.

"Money, I can give you a lot of money! Just let us go."

"You don't even want the money? What exactly do you want? Do you just want to kill people for fun?" Wang Teng said angrily.

Having grown up in luxury and never lacking in sycophants, when had Wang Teng ever experienced such cold treatment?

In his view, people always have a purpose in doing things, whether it's for money, profit, or revenge.

But the person in front of them seemed to have no desires whatsoever, only thinking about killing them.

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Wang Teng had no choice but to take out a Qi and Blood Elixir.

"Oh? A Qi and Blood Potion? Judging by its quality, it's a top-grade product," the crew-cut boy said curiously.

"Do you really think you can fight me by taking a bottle of Qi and Blood Potion?"

"Excuse me for speaking frankly, but your two underlings are ridiculously weak. They couldn't even withstand a single move from me."

"You...you're not expecting them to buy you time to absorb the Qi and Blood Elixir, are you?" At this point, the crew-cut boy suddenly laughed.

"You might as well obediently become my nourishment."

"I promise, the pain will end soon."

"There's no other way then. We might as well die together in the jaws of the wolves." A ruthless glint flashed in Wang Teng's eyes.

As the wolf pack drew ever closer behind him, Wang Teng ran while saying helplessly.

At their current speed, they are no match for a pack of wolves running at full speed.

If they lingered here with this crew-cut guy for too long, they would definitely be surrounded by wolves and die here together.

So what if you're at the half-step Martial Master realm? You can only run away when you encounter a large group of Star Beasts.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Teng slammed the Qi and Blood potion in his hand onto the man.

"Bang!"

A strong, pungent smell of blood exploded in the air.

"Huh?" the crew-cut boy asked, puzzled.

With a burst of frantic wolf howls, he instantly understood Wang Teng's intention, and his face immediately turned grim.

The Netherwolf is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, let alone the aroma of medicinal liquid containing rich blood and qi.

Upon smelling the scent, the wolves, who had been pressing forward relentlessly, instantly became even more frenzied, their eyes turning bloodshot as they pounced on the crew-cut boy, surrounding him completely.

While the pack of ghost wolves was frantically attacking the crew-cut boy from before, Wang Teng shouted to his two henchmen beside him:

"run!"

The three of them had already run a hundred meters away before they finished speaking.

Meanwhile, in another part of the secret realm, Lin Yue was sitting cross-legged on a flat rock, surrounded by a faint mist of qi and blood.

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them. Feeling the surging, powerful energy within his body, he couldn't help but gasp in amazement:

"Are first-tier star beast inner cores this powerful? Just absorbing one has improved my physical attributes so much, and my whole body is full of power."

"Wouldn't the effects of even higher-level star beast inner cores be even more terrifying?"

"This secret realm in the South Seas is indeed worthy of its reputation. It is full of rare and precious materials, including star beast cores and exotic flowers and herbs. As long as you have enough strength, you can improve yourself quickly here."

"If one is strong enough, the star beasts existing in this secret realm are not a threat at all, but rather more like a resource!"

Lin Yue exhaled a breath of stale air. This Star Beast Inner Core had greatly improved his physical attributes in a short period of time.

After fully absorbing the star beast's inner core, Lin Yue consumed a few drops of moon dew, sweeping away all the fatigue in his body.

"After obtaining the bud of true qi, I can get about three to four drops of moon dew every day." Lin Yue calculated in his mind and quickly came to a conclusion.

[True Qi Sprout: Growing (45%)]

"It has already grown to 45%!"

"After slaying an adult Netherwolf last time, the growth rate of the True Qi bud has also increased significantly."

"It seems that the growth rate of the True Qi Sprout will accelerate with the number of Star Beasts I kill," Lin Yue pondered.

After putting away the panel, Lin Yue climbed a high mountain peak and, by the faint moonlight, stood gazing into the distance.

"The environment in this secret realm is truly intricate and complex."

Looking at the endless, undulating mountain peaks before him, dotted with scattered lakes and dense forests, Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"Moreover, some areas also contain a lot of fog and swamps."

"If you're not careful, you'll get lost."

Lin Yue sat down cross-legged and rested for a while.

"It appears that this secret realm is divided into three inner layers and three inner layers."

"The outer three layers are relatively safe."

"I am currently located on the second of the outer three layers, where ferocious first-tier star beasts like the Netherworld Wolf have already appeared."

"In the inner three layers, there may be even stronger star beasts, and there may even be intelligent star beasts that have awakened their intelligence."

Thinking of this, Lin Yue couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

Star beasts at the intelligence level possess strength comparable to, or even greater than, human martial arts masters.

If someone is unlucky enough to be teleported directly to the inner third level of the secret realm, they probably won't even have time to react before being killed by the star beasts and dying in an instant.

"As expected, the South Seas Secret Realm is no longer as safe as it was described when it was first opened," Lin Yue analyzed.

When Lin Yue first arrived in Southeast Asia, he had already noticed something amiss.

"The chaos caused by the Star Beasts is everywhere."

"It's only natural to sign a waiver of liability." After a moment of reflection, Lin Yue glanced around at the surrounding environment.

"No, it's not just the hidden realms of Southeast Asia; it's highly likely that unrest is starting to occur all over the country."

"It is said that there are also habitable environments on other planets besides Earth."

"What happens beyond Earth?"

Lin Yue then remembered the flying warrior he had seen on Battle.net before.

"After soaring to the heavens comes stepping onto the stars! This world is far too small to contain a true powerhouse."

Thinking of this, Lin Yue couldn't help but recall a quote from a historical figure:

"He can be replaced."

Just then, a semi-transparent panel quietly appeared in front of Lin Yue's eyes.
