nChapter 43: Hunting Wind Foxes

nTranslator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

nGreenhill Forest.

nQuietly, Chen Feng entered the forest.

nThe sun was scorching.

nThe sun shone through the dense tree leaves, bringing a flurry of heat with it. Chen Feng was cautiously observing his surroundings, not daring to lower his guard.

n

"F-class mutated beast, earthdrill bird.

"

nChen Feng glanced at it and carefully avoided the beast.

nAlthough these mutated beasts were not a threat to him, Chen Feng was obviously not interested in these mutated beasts that would not bring him any apparent gains.

nF-class mutated beast, skyleap ape.

nF-class mutated beast, skysoar boar.

n…

nChen Feng penetrated deep into the forest and finally reached the territory of the wind foxes.

nLooking into the distance, Chen Feng could clearly see one after another green- and white-colored foxes wandering on the hill, seemingly hunting something. After a long time, a mournful scream resounded.

nChen Feng’s heart leaped.

nSeveral Wind Blades were instantly unleashed.

nA skysoar boar that was passing by was slashed into pieces. A group of illusionary-looking wind foxes exposed a savage expression on their faces and leaped at it viciously with their claws extended and directly tore the skysoar boar into pieces. Streams of blood were streaming down their claws, giving them an extremely terrifying appearance!

n

"Hiss—

"

nChen Feng inhaled a breath of cold air.

nThis was a mutated wind fox!

nAlong with the increase in their strength, the killing instinct of these mutated beasts would also increase. With bloodlust as their second nature, no matter how meek they appeared, they were actually extremely terrifying.

n

"Whoosh!

"

nChen Feng carefully aimed at a lone wind fox that was separated from the rest.

nHis wristband vibrated as the mutated beast detector he had prepared started scanning.

n----

nGene attributes:

nStrength: 15

nAgility: 22

nPhysique: 18

nSpirit: 48

n----

n

"Ding—

"

n

"After comparing with your attributes, the result is as follows: five point increase in strength, 12 point increase in agility, eight point increase in physique, four point decrease in spirit. Not recommended to fuse.

"

nChen Feng shook his head.

nHe could still ignore the other three attributes, but for spirit to decrease? This was his main attribute. It seemed like this wind fox was not suited to be his gene-strengthening material. Chen Feng sprawled within the thicket and observed his surroundings without stop using his wristband.

nSuddenly, Chen Feng saw a wind fox that was distinctly larger than the rest and instinctively scanned it.

n---

nGene attributes:

nStrength: 55

nAgility: 52

nPhysique: 88

nSpirit: 100

n----

n

"Damn!

"

nChen Feng was shaken.

n100 spirit? Was that the leader? If he killed that beast…

nChen Feng’s eyes were red from temptation.

nHowever, as he recalled the unknown danger Mu Yuan mentioned, Chen Feng calmed himself down quickly. The attributes of a wind fox at this level far exceeded Chen Feng's!

nIt was very probable that something bad would happen!

nWind fox leader…

nChen Feng took his thundersnake gene reagent out and looked longingly at the attributes of this wind fox leader on his wristband screen for a long time before finally deciding to give up on it.

nMu Yuan’s words were still somewhat effective on Chen Feng.

nCurrently, if he were too greedy, something bad might happen!

n

"Let’s change the target.

"

nChen Feng sighed and continued searching the outer layer of the area.

nA suitable wind fox was not easy to find. Chen Feng was clear on his advantages and disadvantages. Only after one whole hour did Chen Feng lock onto another target.

n

"All the attributes are higher than mine by five points. After gene strengthening, I should get two points.

"

nChen Feng was tempted.

nThis was a feasible target.

nChen Feng approached silently. However, when he was roughly ten meters from the wind fox, the wind fox moved slightly and abruptly looked toward Chen Feng’s direction.

n‘Not good, I’ve been discovered.’

nChen Feng’s heart leaped.

nHe was paying too much attention to the attributes and combat power of this wind fox and forgot that wind foxes also possessed a high level of awareness.

n

"Whoosh!

"

nAs the wind fox sensed an unfamiliar aura, it abruptly scuttled toward that aura with a speed that was multiple times faster than Chen Feng's. A chain of three Wind Blades instantly condensed in front of the beast.

nXiu! Xiu!

nOne after another, Wind Blades pierced the air, heading toward Chen Feng.

nChen Feng was shocked. ‘The heck. Is this 5%?’

nWhoosh!

nChen Feng instinctively released a single Wind Blade.

nOnly one appeared.

nThe azure colored radiance collided with the wind fox’s light blade. However, in only a short moment, Chen Feng’s Wind Blade shattered. At the same time, together with three Wind Blades, the wind fox was already leaping toward Chen Feng. In these few short seconds, the wind fox had displayed its formidable killing ability.

n

"Can’t drag on.

"

nChen Feng inhaled.

nThis wind fox surpassed him in every aspect. If he did not use Luck Aura, he stood no chance at all.

n

"Ao—

"

nAs the Wind Blades neared him, Chen Feng inhaled while he unleashed his Wind Blade. After the consumption of one point of luck value, a terrifying might was displayed by his Wind Blade.

nTen-combo attack!

nPlop! Plop! Plop!

nBlue light flickered followed by a howl, and the wind fox was no longer conscious.

nChen Feng quickly took out the prepared gene-absorbing tool and absorbed the wind fox’s gene before injecting it into himself.

nHum!

nChen Feng could feel a warm current entering his body.

nThe freshly injected gene started to fuse with the gene within his body as the temperature of his body slightly increased. A few beads of sweat appeared on his body. However, it did not affect him much. He could feel his body increasing in quality. After the gene strengthening ended, his attributes had increased.

n----

nGene attributes:

nStrength: 12

nAgility: 12

nPhysique: 12

nSpirit: 54

n----

nTwo point increase for each of his attribute. It was not an easy feat to find a suitable wind fox!

nRustle!

nBefore Chen Feng could even bask in the enjoyment that feeling brought, he could sense that peculiar sounds were starting to appear around him as the faint stench of blood spread around him.

n

"I need to leave.

"

nChen Feng was cautious and left immediately.

nLess than one minute after he left, more than 10 mutated beasts appeared, fighting with each other as the wind fox’s corpse was torn apart.

nThis was the world of mutated beasts!

nWithout the assistance of Luck Aura, the one being ripped apart might be Chen Feng instead.

n

"Next.

"

nChen Feng’s gaze wandered toward the distant wind foxes, looking for his next target.

nOne…

nTwo…

nThree…

nChen Feng hunted quietly.

nAfter all, these wind foxes were only normal F-class mutated beasts. Under Chen Feng’s unlimited Wind Blades, they could pose no resistance. The only thing Chen Feng needed to take note of was to leave promptly after each kill. He definitely could not be discovered by other beasts, or else he would definitely die without even a burial site.

nAfter more than half day, Chen Feng’s spirit finally reached 62 points.

nFour instances of one point increases and three instances of two point increases!

nIt was too hard.

nIn seven hours, he had only performed seven gene strengthenings. On average, only one suitable beast was found per hour.

nAfter calculating, Chen Feng found that he had used a total 10 points of luck value. Among these, 3 points were used when he was fleeing from a few mutated beasts that he had accidentally encountered.

nChen Feng calculated silently.

"Only a 10 point increase in spirit after consuming 10 points of luck value?

"

nEven the him that possessed Luck Aura encountered such hardship. How about the others?

nGene strengthening was dangerous indeed.

n

"It’s getting late. I’ll go back after killing a few more,

" Chen Feng told himself.

nHowever, all the wind foxes had disappeared for some unknown reason.

nChen Feng searched for a short while yet failed to find any wind foxes. Even when he penetrated deeper into the wind foxes’ birth place, he still couldn’t find a single wind fox.

n

"Something is wrong.

"

nChen Feng felt something amiss.

nRetreat!

nChen Feng retreated without hesitation. However, at this moment...

n

"Whoosh!

"

nA streak of light radiating with a cold glint flew over Chen Feng’s scalp as Chen Feng barely dodged this attack. If his agility hasn’t been increased earlier, he would have been killed by the attack.

n

"What was that?

"

nChen Feng glanced around instinctively and felt his soul leaving his body.

nA dense group of wind foxes had appeared and surrounded him. They were looking at him with ice-cold gazes, arranged neatly without a single wind fox running around in a disorderly manner.

n

"What’s happening?

"

nChen Feng felt something amiss. Had he been surrounded by wind foxes?

nHow could these low-level mutated beasts possess intelligence?!

nWhile Chen Feng blanked, that wind fox leader appeared from the hill top. The scariest part of that wind fox leader’s appearance was the fact that there was a youngster seated on the wind fox leader.

nUsing the wind fox as a mount?

nChen Feng’s heart leaped. ‘Who is that!’

n
