The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Time passed swiftly in the human world.

Li Muyang wandered cautiously in the game every day, searching for prey before lying in wait to hunt.

The powerful venom of the Half-Evil Dragon ensured his hunting success every time.

After spending ten days and finally reaching LV20, Li Muyang noticed that attacking beasts on the outskirts no longer yielded much Experience Points.

This was within his expectations.

Although there were legends of the Ten Miles Slope Sword God in his previous life, Li Muyang obviously didn’t have time to emulate it now.

Moreover, the beasts on the Outer Realm Island didn’t respawn endlessly or at fixed intervals.

Once he confirmed the current area could no longer help him level up, Li Muyang ventured deeper into the region to seek beasts with blood-colored eyes or traces of Flame Energy.

The first target was a giant eagle.

Traversing the dense forests of the Outer Realm Island and searching diligently, Li Muyang soon found the giant eagle’s nest based on prior experiences.

He repeated his tried-and-true strategy, hiding in the eagle’s nest while it was out hunting, and ambushed it when it returned.

Venom poured madly into the giant eagle’s body, and it soon fell with a tragic screech. Its flesh and life essence were absorbed by the Half-Evil Dragon’s clay form, and Li Muyang collected a trace of Bi Fang Flame.

[Bi Fang Flame 8.9%]

[Half-Evil Dragon LV20]

This kill didn’t raise his level, but his experience pool was nearly full, just shy of an upgrade.

Li Muyang left the giant eagle’s nest and began searching for his next target.

The current game content was remarkably simple: hunting and evolving to level up.

There was virtually no storyline exploration.

In this area, Li Muyang hunted three more beasts, raising his Bi Fang Flame Energy to 11.2%, before decisively leaving this region.

Based on his past death experience, once he killed more than four beasts in an area, the Divine Bird Bi Fang would sense it and begin hunting him.

Not long after Li Muyang left the area, sure enough, he saw the Divine Bird Bi Fang circling in the skies.

The blood-colored eyes cracked open on Bi Fang’s body, coldly searching the forests for Li Muyang.

But by then, Li Muyang had already fled to another area, a vast canyon.

The canyon was colossal, with steep, nearly vertical stone cliffs on both sides. At its center, a roaring river thundered through, flanked by dense primeval forests and jagged boulders.

This was another Divine Beast’s domain.

Li Muyang killed a three-headed baboon here and obtained a trace of Blood Flame.

[Taotie Flame 1.2%]

This was the domain of the Divine Beast Taotie.

Li Muyang immediately grew cautious.

The Divine Beast Taotie, among the ancient Divine Beasts, was exceptionally fierce and brutal, with overwhelming Power.

Li Muyang stayed in Taotie’s domain for only three days, hunting a total of three prey before hurriedly leaving.

A chilling sense of danger made him feel as though something in the shadowed forest was watching him.

Li Muyang suspected it was the Divine Beast Taotie.

Perhaps the threshold for each Divine Beast was different.

In Bi Fang’s domain, killing four beasts would draw out the Divine Bird.

In Taotie’s domain, perhaps killing three beasts would provoke Taotie?

Li Muyang quickly fled from Taotie’s territory, entering snow-covered mountains.

This was yet another Divine Beast’s domain. By killing his first prey in the snowy mountains, a white yak, Li Muyang earned [Ice Python Flame 1.9%].

But after killing this beastly yak, Li Muyang felt that same eerie sensation of being watched return, shadowing his every move.

“The threshold here is even lower? Killing just one beast alarms it?”

Li Muyang fled once again, dashing away from the snowy mountain region.

Thus, he continued to flee while advancing, drawing closer and closer to the central region of the Outer Realm Island.

According to the directions provided by the Bash snake head in the swamp, the west was where the Divine Altar lay.

Li Muyang wanted to see just how dangerous the Divine Altar truly was.

After climbing over numerous mountains and rivers, Li Muyang finally saw a towering stone mountain standing against the distant skyline.

The massive stone mountain loomed steep and imposing, dwarfing the surrounding mountain ranges lying at its feet.

It seemed deceptively close.

But after calculating, Li Muyang frowned. The actual distance would likely span tens of thousands of miles.

“I can see the destination now, but…”

Li Muyang looked ahead. The area before him had none of the dense forests or flowing rivers of earlier regions.

Beyond this barren stretch lay blood-choked scorched earth.

Menacing crimson Evil Qi surged and rolled, with terrifyingly massive silhouettes flickering faintly within the blood mist.

Li Muyang tossed a leaf into the mist, and as it touched the swirling crimson haze, it instantly wilted, blackened, and disintegrated into ash.

Li Muyang’s expression shifted subtly.

“…This remaining stretch of the journey is the real challenge!”

He had assumed all the Divine Beasts roamed freely within the forests of the Outer Realm Island, defending their territories.

But he hadn’t expected only a fraction of the Divine Beasts to have escaped.

The vast majority were trapped within the blood mist-choked central region of the Outer Realm Island.

This region was entirely devoid of vitality, its savage energy deeply oppressive. The Divine Beasts, constantly tormented by the Demon God and mingled with the Thousand-Eyed Blood God’s malevolence, radiated an intensely horrifying Evil Qi, corrupting everything.

Even if one could withstand the corrosion of the blood mist’s Evil Qi, the Divine Beasts prowling within it would be the deadliest hunters.

The region ahead was absolutely off-limits for Li Muyang.

At least, not for the Li Muyang of now.

After just a quick glance, Li Muyang was certain of this.

Without hesitation, he turned around and retreated, plunging back into the mountains behind him.

He abandoned his impulsive idea of skipping tasks to retrieve the statue from the Divine Altar, opting instead to methodically level up.

Li Muyang was thoroughly adept in the hunting methods of the Half-Evil Dragon.

He had also mapped out the three-tiered zones of the Outer Realm Island.

Now familiar with the game’s structure and mechanics, he relied on his seasoned veteran player experiences to level up quickly.

He continuously tested the thresholds of the Divine Beasts in each region, escaping just before alarming them.

This scavenging-like hunting strategy caused him to spend considerable time traveling.

But his leveling speed accelerated sharply.

As Li Muyang ventured across more territories and gained a deeper understanding of the Divine Beasts’ distribution in the second-tier regions of the Outer Realm Island, he could hunt, travel, and locate new prey with maximum efficiency.

A month sped by.

At this point, Li Muyang had successfully leveled up to LV68.

The system interface displayed a total of fifty-six progress bars for Flame Energy.

The longest progress bar, which Li Muyang had scavenged the most frequently, was [Gu Eagle 72%].

This Divine Beast was exceptionally vicious yet absurdly lazy.

It typically didn’t react until at least seven or eight beasts in its territory were hunted.

Li Muyang was eagerly curious about what might happen once the Gu Eagle’s Flame Energy Value was fully collected.
