Chapter 332: Chapter 199: Blood Rang Ecosystem

Four tentacles crisscrossed and pierced through An Che’s chest, and his figure promptly vanished from the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

And Zhong Yi gained one Divine Origin Value!

Since it was everyone’s first time participating in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, they all started with only two Divine Origin Value points.

For the next few days, Zhong Yi didn’t rush to find the central area of this Secret Realm.

Instead, he had Hong Ji lie in wait by the scene constructed by the Endless Wood Demon.

In just over four days, Hong Ji alone had taken care of eight opponents.

One of them was an opponent who was only defeated with great difficulty, even with Lan Po’s help.

Upon killing this opponent, Zhong Yi received a full five points of Divine Origin Value.

This meant that after entering the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, this person had successively killed multiple opponents.

He had managed to accumulate ten Divine Origin Value, and likely had the chance to get even more!

All told, Zhong Yi himself only had fourteen Divine Origin Value points so far.

It was just his misfortune to run into Zhong Yi, bringing his journey in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm to an early end.

After playing the part of a Hunter in this forest for over four days, Zhong Yi decided it was time to move out and start exploring the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

Otherwise, in five days, the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm’s environment would begin to collapse from the outside in.

If Zhong Yi happened to be on the outskirts of the Secret Realm and ran into a powerful enemy, he would find it extremely difficult to escape if he got tied down.

Moreover, Zhong Yi had clearly noticed that the frequency of encountering opponents had been steadily decreasing over the past few days, which suggested he was most likely in a peripheral region of the Secret Realm.

With everyone else out exploring the Secret Realm, if Zhong Yi were in an area closer to the middle, the frequency of his encounters should have been increasing, not decreasing, even as other competitors were eliminated.

Zhong Yi spoke to the Endless Wood Demon perched on his shoulder.

"Change the scene you’ve constructed. Lower the tree we’re hiding in, and then create a few dozen taller trees."

"Use those tall trees to surround the shorter one we’re in."

Upon hearing Zhong Yi’s command, the Endless Wood Demon immediately understood his intentions.

The Endless Wood Demon’s comprehension was excellent, allowing it to perfectly execute Zhong Yi’s requests.

A single tree suddenly moving through the forest would be far too conspicuous; anyone who spotted it would attack immediately.

But if dozens of trees moved through the forest together, for one, any opponents lying in ambush would have a hard time noticing the grove’s overall movement.

For another, even if they did spot the movement, they wouldn’t be able to immediately pinpoint the tree Zhong Yi was hiding in.

For an Extraordinary Tier Silver Quality Endless Wood Demon, creating a few dozen twenty-to-thirty-meter-tall trees with its Endless Wood Ability was an easy task.

Zhong Yi had the Endless Wood Demon move the small grove it created toward the direction where he had been frequently encountering opponents over the past few days.

Meanwhile, on a barren wasteland of grotesque, jagged rocks, a slender and rather gaunt-looking young man was touching the short, small black horn growing from the top of his head.

He kept shaking his head, revealing a handsome face from beneath his ruffled hair.

The young man had thick eyebrows and large eyes—the features of a conventionally handsome man.

It was only because he was a bit too gaunt that his good looks were somewhat diminished.

At the young man’s feet, a woman with a few pale gold fish scales on her face was kneeling.

The woman was exceptionally weak, her gaze fixed resentfully on the young man before her.

"If this environment weren’t so unsuitable for me to fight in, I never would have lost to you."

"If we were in the sea, I doubt you could have beaten me!"

The young man with the short black horn sneered at her words.

"Relying on the environment to fight? What does that make you, if not trash?"

"You don’t actually think it took much of my strength to beat you, do you?"

As if she had just suffered the greatest insult imaginable, the kneeling woman shrieked, "How dare you say such a thing to a noble Mermaid?"

"I—"

Before the woman could finish, the young man viciously kicked her in the face.

Bluish-purple blood instantly gushed from her mouth and nose.

"A mongrel Sea Demon like you dares to claim a connection to the Merfolk Race."

"Just as expected of a native from a Barbaric World. If you were in one of the Nine Great Ecosystems, you wouldn’t dare mention the Merfolk Race so lightly."

With that, the young man shook his head a couple of times before speaking softly.

"Wala, eat it."

As the young man’s voice fell, a strange little dog with crimson red skin and no fur suddenly scurried out from a fissure in the rock at his feet.

The strange little dog then opened its mouth with great gusto, though its appearance was anything but intimidating—it was actually rather cute.

However, the moment the little crimson red dog opened its mouth, a hideous and terrifying shadow enveloped the woman on the ground who called herself a Mermaid and began to chew violently.

After it was all done, the little dog glanced worriedly at the young man before hiding itself in the rock fissure once more.

Luke felt that ever since he had been suddenly hit by a Spiritual Attack in the dense forest a few days ago, he had been in a daze.

Scenes would constantly flash through his mind, making it difficult for Luke to distinguish between reality and dreams.

If Luke didn’t know with absolute certainty that he was currently in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, he feared he would have already sunk into the beautiful dreamscapes emerging in his mind.

Luke muttered under his breath.
