Zhao Ruizheng and two others tightly gripped their weapons, their eyes fixed on the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon, waiting for the appearance of the monster.
Especially Tang Shouchang, his expression grave. Compared to the other three, Tang Shouchang knew his strength was the weakest, and he had never encountered the creatures inside the barrier.
Zhao Ruizheng and Zhao Tianyue had accompanied other teams before, slaying monsters.
After understanding part of the situation inside the barrier, the two decided to lead their own team to gain more contribution points.
“Where is the monster now?” Zhao Tianyue asked quietly when Chen Fei stopped shooting arrows.
Chen Fei looked into the canyon. The vitality of the monster was strong, especially within the barrier, where its vitality was extremely resilient.
However, after being bombarded by Chen Fei’s four arrows, its body had already been severely damaged, and even though its vitality was strong, it had completely lost its breath at this moment.
Just as Chen Fei was about to speak, he saw a burst of light emanating from the monster’s body, as if attracted by something, and it flew straight out of the Stone Forest Canyon.
Seeing Chen Fei’s lack of response, Zhao Tianyue was about to ask him, but suddenly noticed movement at the entrance of the canyon. She quickly went on guard, only to find a burst of light flying out.
Zhao Tianyue was taken aback. This was the unique light that appeared after killing a monster. Could it be that the monster just now was already dead?
Was the rank of the monster too low? Was it not even at the Fourth-Tier? So it was killed by Chen Fei’s arrows?
A series of doubts flooded Zhao Tianyue’s mind. Not only Zhao Tianyue, but Zhao Ruizheng also looked somewhat surprised when he saw the light.
Only Tang Shouchang seemed to accept the fact that Chen Fei had killed the monster with a few arrows faster than anyone else. Although Tang Shouchang also knew how exaggerated it was to kill a Fourth-Tier monster with just a few arrows.
As the light flew closer, the four of them felt a slight tremor in the jade rulers in their sleeves. The light split into four in mid-air and entered each of their jade rulers.
Zhao Ruizheng looked at the increased contribution points on the ruler, his brows furrowing slightly. He had only received a small part of the light, but even this small portion had noticeably boosted the contribution points on the ruler.
Obviously, it was a Fourth-Tier early-stage monster.
Zhao Ruizheng turned to look at Chen Fei, his eyes flickering with surprise, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
With such a powerful archer in the team, how could Zhao Ruizheng not be delighted? Compared to the simple tests they had done before, Chen Fei’s current combat power far exceeded expectations.
Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang also glanced at the rulers, noticing a slight increase in contribution points, instantly understanding the rank of the monster.
The jade ruler not only recorded contribution points but also automatically monitored the surrounding situation, hence it had its own rules for distributing credit.
Just now, Zhao Ruizheng attracted the monster by stimulating its blood and gained a portion of the contribution points. As for Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang, they could be considered as staying on guard in place, but in reality, they didn’t contribute much to killing the monster.
Therefore, they only gained a small fraction of the contribution points, while the majority went into Chen Fei’s jade ruler.
According to the principle of fair distribution, this was the rule originally established by the team.
Of course, there were other ways to distribute credit, which entirely depend ed on the choice of each team.
Zhao Tianyue glanced at Chen Fei with a hint of dissatisfaction. During the previous test, she had been suppressed by Chen Fei’s arrows, and she felt she had been careless and didn’t dodge.
Now, unexpectedly, Chen Fei had shown such strength in slaying a Fourth-Tier early-stage monster, leaving Zhao Tianyue with no chance to regain some prestige.
“This Fourth-Tier early-stage monster seems to be lacking in wisdom,” Chen Fei said in a low voice, thinking about the situation just now.
Normally, when creatures suddenly come under attack, their instinct is to evade, but the subconscious reaction of that monster was to continue attacking.
“These monsters only have the instinct to kill, so they are extremely reckless, butthat doesn’t mean they’re easy to deal with,” Zhao Ruizheng chuckled softly upon hearing Chen Fei’s words.
When truly engaged in close combat, facing an opponent who is fearless and only wants to attack you relentlessly, one can understand what kind of feeling that is.
Chen Fei nodded and said,” Shall we continue to use blood and energy to attract the monsters out?”
“Yes, let’s lure out the monsters near the entrance of the canyon first, and then we can gradually move deeper.”
Zhao Ruizheng nodded, beginning to intensify the stimulation of blood and energy in his body.
They had been somewhat reserved before because they needed to let Chen Fei and Tang Shouchang familiarize themselves with the monsters, so they couldn’t act recklessly.
But now, with a monster being forcibly killed by Chen Fei before even revealing itself, they understood the means Chen Fei possessed, so they could naturally loosen some restrictions.
It would be best if they could attract two or more monsters at once. This way, when the monsters charged at them, everyone could experience the monsters’ characteristics up close.
After all, throughout the entire barrier, monsters often lived in groups. Encountering a single monster alone wasn’t very probable.
If they did encounter a wave of monsters, at least they wouldn’t panic and would have some basic psychological preparation.
Zhao Ruizheng’s blood and energy, like a flickering flame in the dark night, flowed into the Stone Forest Canyon, instantly attracting more monsters.
A faint light flickered at the center of Chen Fei’s brow. In his field of vision, ripples spread out in concentric circles within the Stone Forest Canyon, indicating the monsters’ movement and causing disturbances in the black mist.
Drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, as soon as a monster appeared in Chen Fei’s sight, the arrow had already collided with its monstrous body.
Attacking monsters with arrows didn’t necessarily require actually seeing them.
Under the heavenly eye, even without directly seeing the monsters, Chen Fei could make rough predictions based on the disturbances in the black mist and the limited terrain he observed within the Stone Forest Canyon.
A rough three-dimensional map appeared in Chen Fei’s mind.
So as soon as the monster showed itself, it was hit directly by the arrow.
This wasn’t a coincidence but rather the anticipation of an archer.
The attacked monster was completely engulfed in the black mist, causing a disturbance. Chen Fei’s three-dimensional map in his mind became more detailed based on the collision of the mist with the surrounding terrain.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Chen Fei’s right hand seemed to transform into a blur as four arrows, each resembling a shooting star, pierced through the black mist. The monster emitted a loud roar, then fell silent abruptly.
A burst of light tore through the black mist and flew out from the canyon, appearing before Chen Fei and the others.
Zhao Ruizheng and the other two couldn’t help but blink. In such a short time, another Fourth-Tier early-stage monster had been slain?
The light divided into four parts again, with Chen Fei still taking the lion’s share, Zhao Ruizheng getting a portion, and Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang getting a small share.
Chen Fei didn’t lower his bow and arrow because another monster had been attracted by Zhao Ruizheng’s blood and energy and was rushing towards the entrance of the canyon.
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Fei lowered his Shadow Lock Bow because no monsters had emerged from the depths of the canyon for a while.
In just a moment, Chen Fei had slain another Fourth-Tier early-stage monster, adding to the two from before, making it a total of three Fourth-Tier early- stage monsters.
Chen Fei had claimed the majority, equivalent to the contribution from two additional Fourth-Tier monsters.
This speed of gaining contribution points was outrageous.
What’s more, those Fourth-Tier early-stage monsters hadn’t even stepped out of the Stone Forest Canyon, yet Chen Fei had effortlessly slain them with his bow and arrows.
In other words, Zhao Ruizheng and the others hadn’t even seen what the monsters looked like throughout the entire process, yet they still received contribution points.
Zhao Ruizheng stimulated his blood and energy, while Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang simply held their weapons tightly without doing anything.
As Zhao Tianyue looked at Chen Fei again, if she had a hint of reluctance at the beginning, now she couldn’t help but feel it even more strongly.
There weren’t many archers in the Mountain Sea Realm, but few didn’t mean none. In the Mission Hall, Zhao Tianyue had seen a few.
But none of those archers had the efficiency in killing like Chen Fei.
Those monsters weren’t cabbages that could be easily handled. But now, at least for those three monsters, they had been truly handled, unable to resist at all, and they hadn’t even seen a person.
“The monsters at the entrance should be cleared out. If we want to continue killing monsters, we must go deeper,” Zhao Ruizheng said as his blood and energy stopped fluctuating.
This simple method of gaining contribution points made Zhao Ruizheng somewhat uncomfortable.
But inexplicably, this feeling also made it hard for him to resist being immersed in it.
Earning contribution points by lying flat? Such treatment had never been heard of before!
“Shall we enter the canyon now?” Tang Shouchang asked softly.
“Not yet. Let’s wait a moment longer.”
Zhao Ruizheng shook his head. “Those monsters have a habit of actively filling in some empty spaces. There might be new monsters approaching the entrance of the canyon soon.”
Half an hour later, Chen Fei once again killed a Fourth-Tier early-stage monster. The contribution points on Chen Fei’s jade ruler were now close to five points.
With a little over five points of contribution points, Chen Fei could exchange for a Sacred Land’s ultimate technique, further advancing his main cultivation method.
If he didn’t want to exchange for techniques, Chen Fei could continue to accumulate contribution points and exchange them later for heavenly treasures to enhance his cultivation.
The rewards exchanged in the Mission Hall this time included heavenly treasures that could greatly enhance cultivation, requiring a vast amount of contribution points, while the Sacred Land’s ultimate techniques were available at lower contribution point thresholds.
Techniques like these were priceless for those who didn’t possess them.
But for the Sacred Lands, while techniques couldn’t be considered low in value, they were reusable.
When heavenly treasures were rewarded, once they were exchanged, they were gone. But with techniques, they could be continually rewarded to others.
Now, with the Black Divine Barrier here, to some extent, the Sacred Lands also intended to spread techniques, slightly boosting the strength of the Mountain Sea Realm.
In the end, techniques were static. Obtaining a technique was one thing, but if one lacked the talent or guidance, mastering it on their own would be incredibly difficult.
The vast majority of the Mountain Sea Realm didn’t have this ability.
“Let’s go, be careful everyone!”
Another hour passed, and still no monsters appeared at the entrance of the canyon. Zhao Ruizheng waved his hand, and the four of them cautiously stepped into the Stone Forest Canyon.
