Chapter 138 - 119: A Land Octopus? What Kind of Demon Beast Is This?
Chapter 138: Chapter 119: A Land Octopus? What Kind of Demon Beast Is This?
"Yeah, this is delicious. Hurry and eat, Ye Fan!"
Fang Xiu nodded repeatedly.
After all, he was just an Awakened, not a cultivator; he still got hungry.
Especially after hunting so many Demon Beasts during the day.
And one of them was a Level 40 Elite Monster.
Fang Xiu was already starving.
"Alright!"
Ye Fan nodded and joined Fang Xiu, digging in with gusto.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them each entered a state of Cultivation.
However, because more powerful Demon Beasts could appear, Fang Xiu didn’t fully enter his meditative state, remaining on guard.
BOOM!
After about another hour of Cultivation, Fang Xiu finally had a breakthrough.
’Level 16!’
Fang Xiu was somewhat unsatisfied with his Cultivation speed.
After all, back in the Gate World at home, he should have broken through right after eating the meat.
But here, it had taken an extra hour of Cultivation.
’I really want to go home soon!’
Fang Xiu looked up at the starless sky.
He found himself missing Kajimi.
He hadn’t seen her in a few days and wondered how she was doing.
Fang Xiu wasn’t worried about her being in danger.
Now that Kajimi’s strength had reached Tier Two, even an expert at Level 60 or 70 would have trouble stopping her.
Fang Xiu just wondered if Kajimi was eating properly.
"Congratulations, Fang Xiu. You’re the fastest person I’ve ever seen!"
Ye Fan said, looking at Fang Xiu.
According to the information he’d seen online, it had been less than half a month since Fang Xiu’s Awakening.
And he had already reached Level 16.
Ye Fan had never seen anyone level up so quickly.
Even someone with a Gold-Level Cultivation Technique couldn’t be this fast.
And Fang Xiu was the fastest person he had ever seen.
"The fastest?"
Fang Xiu was taken aback.
’Why does that sound like an insult?’
"That’s right, the fastest!"
Ye Fan nodded emphatically.
Then, realizing his mistake, he quickly clarified, "The fastest at leveling up your Cultivation!"
"Uh..."
Just as Fang Xiu was about to speak, he heard the roar of a Demon Beast in the distance.
"A Demon Beast!"
Fang Xiu was instantly on alert.
ROAR!
The Demon Beast roared again.
"The Demon Beasts here are at least Level 40, and some might even be Level 50. We have to be careful!"
Ye Fan said to Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly. He wasn’t worried if it was just a Level 50 Demon Beast.
What worried Fang Xiu was the possibility of a Beast Tide—that would be truly dangerous.
Even a Level 60 Awakened could perish in a Beast Tide of Level 50 monsters.
And he had Ye Fan with him.
"It sounds like there are quite a few Demon Beasts!"
Ye Fan’s brow furrowed.
He was thinking the same thing as Fang Xiu.
If these chaotic sounds meant a Beast Tide was coming, he might meet his end here tonight.
After all, this was a gathering place for Level 40 Demon Beasts.
If it really was a Beast Tide, it would be composed of Level 40 creatures at the very least.
And Ye Fan couldn’t even defeat a single Level 40 Demon Beast.
Let alone a Beast Tide.
"If it’s a Beast Tide, find a place and hide."
At this point, it was all Fang Xiu could say to Ye Fan.
He had a few tricks up his sleeve, but he wouldn’t use them unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Okay."
Ye Fan also knew that if it truly was a Beast Tide, Fang Xiu would be overwhelmed.
He wouldn’t be able to protect him at all.
He would be on his own.
Still, Ye Fan didn’t regret coming here; it had been his own choice.
Besides, he’d reaped considerable benefits along the way.
He just hoped they weren’t so unlucky as to actually run into a Beast Tide here.
"They’re coming!"
Just then, Fang Xiu heard the chaotic footsteps drawing closer and closer.
Although there was only a single roar, that could only mean there was a powerful "leader" among these Demon Beasts.
Fang Xiu could only hope that this Beast Tide wasn’t too large.
"Yeah."
Ye Fan also stared nervously into the darkness.
Soon, a massive Demon Beast appeared before them.
And behind it...
"There’s nothing?"
Fang Xiu saw that there was nothing behind the Demon Beast.
The chaotic sound of footsteps had all come from this one creature.
The Demon Beast before them looked something like an Octopus.
Except it was walking on land.
Its eight tentacles supported its movement.
That was what had created the chaotic sound of footsteps.
"Why would an Octopus be on land?"
Fang Xiu asked, confused.
Ye Fan shook his head; he didn’t know either.
But just then, Fang Xiu saw something on the Octopus’s head.
It looked like... a tombstone?
