Chapter 264 The First Star God, Jingmu Han, Displays His Power!
As soon as he left the shelter, Chen Lie went straight to the danger zone ten kilometers away.
While it's safer within ten kilometers, there are fewer exotic beasts. If you only relay messages within this range, it's impossible to hunt many of them.
Soon, Chen Lie arrived at the leaderboard screen in the middle of the danger zone and found that Han Keke, who ranked seventh in individual points, already had 615 points.
Meanwhile, Shao Keyu, who is ranked first on the leaderboard, has already surpassed 800 points, reaching 802.
"The rewards for the Northwest Generals from first to seventh place are all the same: 100,000 Star Yuan Galaxy Coins. So I only need to secure seventh place."
Chen Lie is not yet able to deal with third-tier beasts, but with the help of dragon tendons and dragon bones, he can make third-tier beasts retreat.
With his mental attacks, he is a natural enemy of these strange beasts. In addition, his dragon tendons and Flood Dragon Bones make him fearless of danger. If there are enough strange beasts in the training ground, he can hunt down thousands of them in a single day if he goes all out.
But this is too conspicuous. Someone from one of the worst provinces on Earth could easily surpass the top talents of the top ten martial arts provinces on Earth. It's too suspicious.
After glancing at the points leaderboard, Chen Lie continued walking forward.
Having just entered a jungle, Chen Lie suddenly saw a pair of long, narrow, scarlet eyes swimming towards him.
After a long, dark shadow swept past, Chen Lie saw clearly that it was a large centipede, seven or eight meters long.
"This must be a top-tier second-tier beast, and it's probably very close to becoming a third-tier beast."
Upon seeing the giant centipede covered in heavy armor, Chen Lie could tell that this beast's defensive capabilities were definitely more astonishing than those of an ordinary third-tier beast.
The giant centipede, with its hundred legs, arched its body, reaching a height of two or three meters, and was about to attack Chen Lie.
"Even those at the Blood Refining stage on Earth would struggle against this kind of beast, let alone hunt it down. But unfortunately for them, they've run into me—"
The giant centipede let out a strange roar and attacked Chen Lie, its seven- or eight-meter-long body almost flying into the air.
With a thought, Chen Lie unleashed the power of Jing Mu Kuang, the First Star God who was in charge of the sea of consciousness. The invisible spiritual force impact was like a sharp sword, piercing the already weak consciousness of the alien beast.
轰」
Chen Lie keenly sensed a jolt in the beast's consciousness. Under the impact of Chen Lie's mental energy, the beast instantly lost consciousness.
With a "thump".
The large centipede, seven or eight meters long, collapsed to the ground instantly and fell into a coma.
Seeing this, Chen Lie quickly stepped forward to finish off the beast. After observing the area, he discovered that the large centipede's weak point was below its mouthparts. He then struck, killing the beast with a single blow.
At the same time, the alien radar on his wrist showed that his score had increased by 2.
Having successfully hunted down a top-tier second-tier alien beast, Chen Lie ventured deeper into the danger zone.
During this time, he encountered two more Tier 1 beasts. He used a wave of mental energy to knock the beasts unconscious, and then killed them.
After scouring most of the danger zone, Chen Lie hunted down a total of 53 first-tier alien beasts and 6 second-tier alien beasts.
Seeing that it was already past noon, Chen Lie secretly made some plans.
"Although there are many strange beasts in the danger zone, they are not densely packed. It seems we need to venture deeper into the military training area."
Chen Lie locked onto the direction and continued walking forward.
Soon, he saw a huge warning sign ahead.
The warning sign reads: "Twenty kilometers beyond the shelter, teeming with strange beasts, this is an extremely dangerous area."
Beware of Tier 3 beasts.
In front of the warning sign is a 20-meter-high specially made iron net. Beyond this iron net is the extremely dangerous area of the military training ground.
Chen Lie arrived at the iron fence, and with a leap, jumped onto it.
Standing on the iron fence, Chen Lie could finally see clearly that there was a valley floor in front of the fence, and Chen Lie was standing on the fence as if he were standing on a cliff.
"No wonder the beasts here can't get to the other side of the iron net. This cliff and iron net are hundreds of meters high, and it's very difficult for a third-tier beast to cross through."
Only flying beasts and those that are not very large can happen to pass through.
From his vantage point, Chen Lie could see the dense horde of strange beasts below the iron net.
"No wonder it's an extremely dangerous area. The density of these strange beasts is probably eleven or twelve per square kilometer."
This is just the military training area. There are 20,000 Northwest Front Army soldiers stationed at the front. The number of strange beasts outside the military training area is probably more than ten times that here.
"Based on this calculation, there are at least one hundred strange beasts per kilometer in the Kunlun Ruins of Northwest China. With such a terrifying density of strange beasts, how much pressure must the Northwest Army withstand?"
Chen Lie knew perfectly well that Blue Star had perished due to the Northwest Beast Plague.
This place is less than 200 kilometers away from the place where strange beasts keep emerging from the Kunlun Ruins cave. Behind the military training area is the defense line that Blue Star has spent a lot of effort to build.
With this defensive line stretching over 300 kilometers, the frontline troops can advance or retreat as needed, and can also deploy a strong force several times a year to reduce the number of alien beasts outside the defensive line.
If this defensive line is breached by the alien beasts, then the humans and the alien beasts on Earth will have to fight against the aliens, and can only watch as the alien beasts grow stronger and be passively attacked.
The world is now hoping that Blue Star will produce a tenth-level Celestial Master martial artist or a Grandmaster-level Divine Sense Master, so that such an extraordinary expert can take action and solve the beast problem in the northwest of Blue Star in one fell swoop.
But only Chen Lie knew that more than a decade later, a Celestial Master did indeed appear on Blue Star, but Blue Star ultimately perished due to the calamity of alien beasts.
This shows that even a Grandmaster of Light and Heaven cannot solve the problem of the strange beasts.
"If we have the chance, we could go deep into Kunlun Ruins and see what's going on."
After muttering something to himself, Chen Lie jumped off the iron net and made his way to the bottom of the valley.
As soon as he landed, more than a dozen strange beasts within a kilometer radius rushed towards him, including giant cats with sharp fangs that were seven or eight meters long, and huge creatures that resembled both bears and tigers, roaring as they surrounded him.
Chen Lie glanced at them and saw a total of twelve Tier 1 exotic beasts.
He mobilized his spiritual power, and the First Star God Jingmu Kuang, who was stationed in his sea of consciousness, displayed his full power.
From within Chen Lie's sea of consciousness, a massive shockwave of mental energy swept across, instantly causing the twelve ferocious, roaring beasts to lose consciousness due to the mental attack.
Just then, a huge black shadow flew in from a distance in the sky.
Chen Lie, with his keen senses, immediately looked up and saw a second-tier beast with a wolf's head and an eagle's body pouncing towards him with its sharp claws outstretched.
The strange beast with a wolf's head and an eagle's body spread its wings and was eleven or twelve meters long. It quickly swooped down to attack Chen Lie.
Chen Lie snorted, and when the wolf-headed, eagle-bodied beast was within a hundred meters of him, he unleashed his full mental power attack.
"Ugh—"
The second-tier beast with a wolf's head and an eagle's body paused, its diving posture vanished, and it instantly fell to the ground.
When it was more than ten meters above the ground, the wolf-headed, eagle-bodied beast seemed to wake up, flapping its wings and trying to fly into the sky.
"Still trying to run?"
Chen Lie knew that the mental attack he had launched earlier was due to his distance from the beast, which greatly reduced its power and only caused the second-tier beast to faint for a moment.
However, there was nothing that could be done. The second-tier beast swooped down too fast. Not only could we not launch a mental attack in advance, but we might not even have a chance.
Seeing that the beast was about to flap its wings and fly into the sky, Chen Lie launched another mental attack.
"boom"
This time, Chen Lie realized that the beast's consciousness had been shattered, and it had completely fallen into a coma.
Seeing the thirteen unconscious beasts around him, Chen Lie quickly went up and finished them off one by one.
The Beast Radar on his wrist gained another 14 points.
"Psychic masters are indeed the nemesis of these low-intelligence beasts."
Having cultivated the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter," Chen Lie's spiritual power was among the best even among the first-tier Divine Sense Masters of the Central Galaxy Empire.
In the Central Galaxy Empire, there is no claim that any alien beasts can pose a threat to a Divine Mind Master.
After finishing off the thirteen strange beasts, Chen Lie swept forward.
There are many strange beasts here. When they see humans, they usually swarm around and attack at the same time.
Chen Lie's mental power was invincible against the alien beasts, and as he walked, he was left with the corpses of alien beasts all behind him.
In just over an hour, having traversed only half of the extremely dangerous zone, Chen Lie had hunted down 184 alien beasts, including 9 second-tier alien beasts and 5 flying alien beasts.
On a winding mountain road, Chen Lie came face to face with a trio.
The trio consisted of two men and one woman. The man in front looked dignified, and the woman behind him was also incredibly beautiful, while the other man appeared rather ordinary.
It's clear that the dignified-looking boy at the front is the leader, while the man and woman behind him are his assistants.
After entering the extremely dangerous area 20 kilometers away from the shelter, Chen Lie encountered living people for the first time.
Without a doubt, these three are undoubtedly among the most outstanding special recruits at Blue Star University. Those who are weaker would not even be able to enter this place.
After they passed each other, the beautiful girl in the trio suddenly asked in surprise, "Wait, was that person alone?"
"I think so!" the boy next to him replied.
"You dare come here alone to hunt beasts? Without anyone to help you, if you're surrounded by several second-tier beasts at the same time, you won't even have a chance to escape!"
"Who knows? Maybe they came here to take a look."
The girl nodded and didn't press further. Instead, she asked, "By the way, we're already halfway through the day. How much have we gained today?"
"I didn't remember. Ask Brother Yang; he has today's hunting records on his alien beast radar." The boy shook his head.
"Brother Zhou Yang, more than half of the day has passed. How many strange beasts have you hunted?" the beautiful girl asked in a sweet voice.
The dignified young man glanced at the beast radar and said, "97 beasts, including 6 second-tier beasts."
"You've achieved more results today than in the past few days. If you can maintain this level of performance tomorrow, you'll definitely surpass Yan Zheng, who's currently second on the individual leaderboard."
The dignified young man said, "Not necessarily. Our Sudong Province is, after all, at the bottom of the top ten provinces on Blue Star. Its overall strength is slightly inferior to that of Dongzhe Province, where Yan Zheng is located."
He hunted the strange beasts with the help of two members from the bottom of the East Zhejiang Province's genius group. These members were comparable to the top five in our province.
If Yan Feng discovers that my score is trending towards catching up with his, he will definitely assign a top-five member from the Eastern Zhejiang Province to assist me.
The beautiful girl pursed her lips and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhou Yang, our strength is too weak to provide you with stronger assistance."
"It's not your fault, it's just that our province is already somewhat behind Zhejiang Province."
"Securing a top-three finish this time already fulfills the expectations placed upon us by the Martial Arts Association."
The boy next to him said, "Yeah, this time Yang Ge just needs to stay in the top three in individual points and in the top seven in the province. Once he gets to Blue Star University, he'll have plenty of opportunities to catch up with Yan Zheng."
"I don't like what you're saying. How is Brother Zhou Yang inferior to that Yan Zheng? Does he need to catch up?" The beautiful girl glared at the boy reproachfully.
"Okay, okay, it was a slip of the tongue," the boy quickly said.
"Hmph, look at your perfunctory face. Yan Zheng from Dongzhe Province has seven times the strength, and so does Brother Zhou Yang. Their martial arts realms are also the same. It's just that Brother Zhou Yang's blood energy is slightly lower than Yan Zheng's. Is that considered a difference?"
"Alright, Momo, I am indeed a bit behind Yan Zheng now, but the gap isn't big, and there's nothing to be ashamed of," Zhou Yang said calmly.
The trio walked and talked, and when they reached the end of the path ahead, all three of them looked shocked.
"What...what happened?"
The beautiful girl stared, completely mesmerized.
Ahead, a road was covered with the corpses of strange beasts. The beasts were enormous, and when they were gathered together, they looked like a small mountain.
"Let's walk a little further!"
Zhou Yang walked forward without making a sound, and the two special admissions students, a boy and a girl, hurriedly followed behind.
The scenes they saw along the way made them gasp in surprise.
Why are there so many strange beast corpses?
"There are flying creatures? There was nothing here when we came here today," said the girl in the trio.
As Zhou Yang walked, he would check the corpses of the strange beasts every few steps.
Ultimately, he came to a conclusion.
"The beasts here were all hunted by humans, who specifically targeted their weak points and killed them with a single blow."
"Isn't that a bit much? I can barely believe that the people who hunt these alien beasts are strong enough to kill a second-tier alien beast with one blow, but what about these flying alien beasts?"
"Furthermore, there were at least a hundred monster corpses on the way here, which weren't there when we arrived. Even if we invited the martial arts champion of Lan Jing, or the top ten martial arts geniuses on the Lan Xing Qi and Blood Extreme Realm Martial Artist Ranking, they still couldn't do this, right?" said the boy in the trio.
"There are indeed many suspicious points here. There were more than a hundred strange beast corpses when we came. I don't think that the top ten people on the Blue Star Qi and Blood Extreme Realm Martial Artist Ranking could have done that."
Only the top five Qi and Blood Warriors on Blue Star could probably hunt them down in such a short time.
Even if it were possible, these flying beasts still don't make sense.
Zhou Yang frowned. As everyone knows, flying beasts have the advantage of the sky. Ordinary martial artists can only passively take a beating when they encounter flying beasts. Of course, there is a chance to fight back and kill flying beasts, but it is definitely not a big chance.
"Could it be a fifth-level martial artist from the front-line army who made the move?" the girl asked.
"A fifth-level martial artist can control their qi externally. The beast's corpse showed no signs of being injured by true qi, so it couldn't be a fifth-level martial artist."
"Furthermore, barring unforeseen circumstances, the military is unlikely to interfere with military training," Zhou Yang said.
"That's really strange—"
"I feel like these strange beasts are standing still, waiting to be killed."
So many strange beasts, with no other signs of combat, all killed in a single blow—that's impossible.
Could it be that some province on Earth has developed a drug to hunt alien beasts, rendering them incapable of fighting?
"If such a drug exists, the authorities must have already mass-produced it and equipped the military with it."
The life genes of the alien beasts are very unique. The authorities have tried using biological weapons to eliminate them, but this has been completely ineffective.
Zhou Yang said in a deep voice, "You don't need to guess about these beast corpses. They were probably just casually made by one of the top ten martial arts geniuses on the Blue Star Blood Qi Warrior Ranking."
"The top ten martial arts geniuses in the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm of Blue Star must all be carefully nurtured at Blue Star University or Starry Sky University, so why would they come to the Northwest Front?" the girl asked.
"I received a message that a martial arts genius from outer space was coming to Earth for an exchange visit."
This martial arts genius from outer space proposed to go to Kunlun Ruins in the northwest, the place on Earth plagued by beasts, to see the cause.
He was accompanied by one of our martial arts geniuses, who ranked among the top ten on the Blue Star Qi and Blood Extreme Ranking.
"Perhaps this martial arts genius has already arrived," Zhou Yang said.
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the other man and woman in the trio nodded in understanding.
The top ten on the Blue Star Qi and Blood Extreme Realm Martial Artist Ranking are the most outstanding martial arts geniuses on Blue Star. The martial arts champion of Blue Capital, the province with the highest martial arts index on Blue Star, seems to be among the top ten on the Blue Star Qi and Blood Extreme Realm Martial Artist Ranking.
In contrast to the Blue Star Qi and Blood Warrior Ranking, there is also the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking.
Both lists are updated every three years.
For many Blue Star University students, being ranked in the top ten on these two lists means being a leading figure of Blue Star's generation.
The sight of over a hundred strange beast corpses along the road shocked several groups of people.
Soon, the Northwest Army assigned personnel to collect the carcasses of the more than one hundred strange beasts.
The meat of the alien beasts in all the provinces of Blue Star comes from the Northwest Front. The total weight of these alien beast carcasses is about two million catties, which is enough to supply a barren province with alien beast meat for almost half a year.
By evening, Chen Lie had hunted down nearly 300 strange beasts. Because of his hunting, the density of strange beasts within a radius of several miles had visibly decreased. This was the result of his careful hunting; otherwise, the harvest would have been even greater.
"Let's stop here for today. We can't hunt too much at once. Anyway, this is just the beginning, no rush."
Chen Lie glanced at the alien beast radar and found that he had reached 387 points.
He completed the military training mission in Dongchuan Province on his own in a single day.
One day's work is equivalent to several days' work for others.
It took Chen Lie half an hour to cross the iron fence of the extremely dangerous zone and return to the points leaderboard screen in the center of the military training field.
Looking at the screen again, Chen Lie noticed that Han Keke, who was seventh on the individual points leaderboard, had reached 701 points, while Shao Keyu, who was first, had already broken 900 points, reaching 913.
