Chapter 36: Difficult to Advance

“Don’t we have zero places to stay now? How can it be worse than now?”

“That’s right. Hurry up and say it. Do it while you’re alive. If you’re dead, you have no chance to come back.”

Now, these people had nothing to lose. According to their thoughts, they were the victims during the trip to the Mystic Realm. Exposing Ye Chen was to let more people know his face. What they did not expect was that in the end, it was their fault and everyone despised them.

Naturally, they blamed all of this on Ye Chen. They did not think that it was them who were tempted by treasures.

“I discovered something a while ago. This thing has a fatal attraction to wild beasts and will cause them to go berserk.”

“If we find out where Ye Chen’s tribe is, we can scatter it around his tribe, then cause a beast tide and let the wild beasts trample his tribe!”

Upon hearing that they were going to deal with Ye Chen directly, those people started to hesitate.

The main thing was that the Immortal Phoenix had left a deep impression on them. Once the Divine Beast appeared, all the mutated beasts prostrated on the ground.

Everyone looked at each other and did not know what to say. It was indeed a good method to use others to kill others but the risk was too great. If something went wrong, they would have to stay there too.

Seeing that no one said anything, the person who suggested this became anxious and hurriedly said.

“I know it’s dangerous but often high risk brings high returns.”

“Once the beast tide destroys Ye Chen’s tribe, won’t everything inside be ours?”

“Food. Materials. The way to raise a second beast. And why his beasts are all Divine Beasts…”

When the person said that his companion was obviously interested, he mentioned the wealth that Ye Chen possessed word by word.

Someone stood up and said.

“I agree with this idea. We can’t possibly not do anything just because we’re afraid of Ye Chen’s Divine Beast, right?”

“Besides, we’re only afraid of his Divine Beasts, not him. Once the beast tide comes and the Divine Beasts deal with the beast tide, won’t the remaining Ye Chen be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?”

Upon hearing this, another person stood out with a resolute expression.

“That’s right. Other than the Divine Beast, what else does Ye Chen have?”

“When facing a beast tide, isn’t he just a mortal?”

“When Ye Chen dies, won’t his things be ours?”

Finally, more and more people stood up.

“I agree.”

“I agree.”

“…”

After everyone reached an agreement, they encountered a new problem.

Where was Ye Chen’s tribe? How were they going to determine where to lure the beast tide to? Who would go when attracting the beast tide? How were they going to implement it?

It had to be said that humans sometimes felt despair and powerlessness when facing difficulties but when facing hatred, they would provide unlimited energy and wisdom.

The few of them gave their own opinions and made up for the other party’s shortcomings. A simple and perfect plan appeared.

Ye Chen did not know anything about this. He probably would not care even if he knew.

Ye Chen was having a private conversation with the people in the trading area.

[Boss Ye Chen, I have the Misty Fruit that you want. I wonder what price you want to pay for it.]

[Boss Ye Chen, I risked my life to get this thing. The price you offered is a little low. I can’t accept it.]

[Ye Chen, I may be lacking in food but it’s not a necessity. If you want to use food to exchange for my divine item, I’m afraid this transaction will not go on.]

[The price you offered is a little low. With your foundation, I need to add another 40%. I’ll give you the item immediately.]

“Do I look like a foolish rich second-generation heir?”

Ye Chen felt helpless when dealing with these people in the trading area.

These people were clearly trying to take advantage of the situation. Now, everyone knew that he had obtained a treasure in the secret realm and needed to purchase medicinal ingredients to concoct it.

With his current strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to collect them all.

However, Ye Chen could not lower his head in the face of a sky-high price. Once he lowered his head and set this exception, what awaited him would be endless demand.

Even though he had resources, he definitely wouldn’t squander them like this.

“I’m not in a hurry. Let’s see who can last longer.” Ye Chen sat in the tribe and smiled to himself.

His current focus was not on the formula. When he saw the various herbs on the formula, he knew that this was a long process. Hence, Ye Chen was not anxious at all.

“Could it be that as the number of Divine Beast increases, the chances of Mutated Beast Eggs hatching a Divine Beast will decrease?”

Ye Chen turned to look at the Mutated Beast Egg at the side. It had been two days but there was still no sign of the Divine Beast. Currently, the highest grade was the SSS-Rank Holy Beast.

Who knew that although there were many types of mutated beasts on the Wasteland Continent, there were only a few types of Divine Beasts. Furthermore, there would not be two Divine Beasts of the same type.

In other words, if the Divine Phoenix was born, as long as it had not reached adulthood, there would not be a second Divine Phoenix in this world.

Nature is balanced. It gives you unique strength. Then the size of your race will never be as large as the common herd of beasts.

This was also what Ye Chen learned from the Wilderness Quintessence. Just as he had nothing to do and was about to tease the Immortal Phoenix, Ye Chen felt the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energies in the tribe fluctuate.

At this time in the tribe, they could clearly feel that the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Gathering Array was heading towards one direction.

Soon, a vortex of Spirit Qi formed at the center point and it poured into one point like a funnel.

“That’s… Kun Peng!”

In an instant, Ye Chen knew that the Kun Peng was about to complete its advancement. He hurried over to where the Kun Peng was and saw that the Kun Peng that was originally in the form of a big fish had already turned into a huge Mutated Beast Egg.

The black patterns on it were vivid and lifelike, flickering with red and black lights, representing the form of a big fish and the form of a giant roc. Those strange black patterns represented the Black Mark Clan that had been devoured in the Mystic Realm.

“It seems like the Black Mark is a special existence in the Wilderness. Otherwise, it would not have appeared when the Kun Peng advanced,” Ye Chen muttered to himself.

While Ye Chen was thinking, the Kun Peng Egg was no longer absorbing Spiritual Energy. Red and black mist surrounded the eggshell and was slowly seeping into the Kun Peng Egg.

Ye Chen knew that once the black and red energies were absorbed by the Kun Peng Egg, the Kun Peng would come out of seclusion.

What he did not know was that while the Kun Peng Egg was absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Spirit Gathering Array was also running at full speed, forming a small Spiritual Qi Funnel outside the valley.

And this scene was coincidentally seen by others. This person was also one of those people who wanted to start a beast tide.

Within the tribe, not long after, the red and black mist on the surface of the Kun Peng Egg was completely absorbed. Countless tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the egg.

“It’s coming out. I wonder how strong the Kun Peng will be when it comes out of seclusion this time,” Ye Chen muttered to himself..
