Chapter 472: Chapter 439 Continued_1

(Revised version)

Upon hearing that Xu Mu was going to make a move, both Yue and Xiao Tian Yuan’s faces lit up with joy. They had no doubt about Xu Mu’s abilities.

Xiao Tian Yuan had witnessed it before, and Yue had unconditional trust.

Under the consolation of the Martial Arts Grandmaster, the team gradually restored order.

The beast of a Martial Ancestor rank usually has its own territory, often located in the deepest part of the Wilderness. They didn’t expect to encounter one so soon after entering, and it was a particularly troublesome speed-type beast. Indeed, they were quite unlucky.

If they were unable to resolve this quickly, their only choice would be to retreat.

Although with their strength, it was not impossible to kill the three-tailed purple marten, if the losses were too heavy, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Now that Xu Mu was willing to make a move, they could breathe easily.

They did not depart after reorganizing themselves that day; they continued to set up camp to wait for the three-tailed purple marten to strike.

Compared to the leisurely atmosphere of yesterday, the mood was much tenser today, particularly for the patrolmen, whose nerves were practically fraying.

Yesterday’s casualties totalled twenty to thirty people; their bodies weren’t even cold yet. No one dared to be negligent.

“Do you think we can catch it?”

A troubled martial artist on patrol asked.

“Who knows? But, I’ve heard that the young master is quite formidable.”

Very few had actually witnessed Xu Mu’s strength; most people only heard about it from others.

“If you ask me, we might as well retreat and wait for the beast to leave. We can then continue hunting for beasts. Otherwise, even if one is strong, it’s impossible to restrain it in one move. The unfortunate ones would be we.”

Upon hearing this, others also subtly nodded their heads.

Although they knew there would be dangers when they came in, everyone thought it wouldn’t happen to themselves and held on to the hope of getting lucky.

But now, the danger was hanging over their heads, just like a sword hanging by a thread over their necks. No one dared to predict when it would fall.

Those who were on patrol were terrified, and those who weren’t, were worried about encountering danger while on patrol.

This tense atmosphere also affected the people in the centre of the camp.

At least Zhang Ergou, Yang Jiang, and others still couldn’t help revealing worried expressions. Although they had the strength of a Martial Emperor, they were equally defenceless in front of a beast with Martial Saint speed.

So, everyone unintentionally gathered around Xu Mu, if conditions were unfavourable, they could at least stay close to him for safety.

Xu Mu remained in his tent, leisurely studying the collected items. Only after nightfall did he stop this activity.

He then sat cross-legged in the centre of the tent.

A human-shaped phantom appeared behind him again, but this time it strangely detached itself from his body and flew out alone.

“This feels so strange.”

Martial Artists could separate their beast spirits from their bodies and temporarily release them. But few people did so, because both the body and beast spirit would become weaker, and this ability seemed worthless.

But now, for Xu Mu, it had other uses.

Because in this state, he could use most of his Divine Skills, although it consumed his body’s vital essence.

The current sensation was similar to having an out-of-body experience, which took some getting used to.

Add to that his arrival in this world, for the first time possessing such an ability, the gap from his past was profound.

First, he cast an Invisibility Technique and retracted his aura completely, becoming as inconspicuous as a wisp of smoke.
