Chapter 369: Nine Twist Spirit Plant

As the head of the beast pack was about to die, the smoke around its body suddenly exploded brutally, and the small pieces of flesh shot out into the distance. Soon, these small chunks of flesh started to project white smoke. Once the smoke had been poured out, the flesh started to shrivel, until eventually disappearing into the air.

”This smoke is not that simple. It could slowly seep through into the solid rock.” Ye Chen activated his soul power, and immediately realized how different the smoke was.

Boooom!

Right after Ye Chen finished his sentence, all of the beasts under the ground all rushed out and attacked towards Ye Chen. The sound that it created sounded like the whole earth was moving.

Grand elder Chen and Liu Mei were both shocked. How could this be? Although the battle sound was not that loud, it should only attract most of the nearby beasts. How come so many beasts attacked out altogether? It was like they all knew where they were.

”Perhaps it was because of the smoke?”

Liu Mei was still in shock.

”This place is not suitable to stay for longer. Let's leave this place first.”

Green Lotus Zhen Yuan cut through the mud and stone as Ye Chen led the two southward. Although there were relatively fewer beasts in that direction, there were still more than fifty of them. These beasts were in groups of five and kept a certain distance between each group.

”Kill!”

After reaching the Late Astral Reaching Realm, Ye Chen's attacking power had increased drastically. An unbreakable power appeared as he waved his sword casually, killing all of the beasts despite the leaders being present.

Liu Mei helped on the side as she performed her Wind Whip Art. The shadow of her whip looked like snakes, strangling one beast after another, forbidding them from gathering together. Although Grand elder Chen was not as dominant as Ye Chen in terms of attacking power, he was rather powerful against the remaining weaker beasts. With the three working as a team, they managed to make out a way by force.

”Should we go up?”

After escaping out of the beasts' encirclement, Grand elder Chen talked to Ye Chen through zhen yuan.

Ye Chen shook his head, ”No rush! Although it would seem to be quite a good idea, I am not sure if the situation up there would be as good as we assume it to be. We should kill the beasts down here first to a certain amount. Only then would we still have time to go up there.”

”Kill these beasts?” Liu Mei was shocked at what she heard.

”Under the ground, there is a limitation on soul power scanning. If the beasts wanted to surround us, it would be quite hard. On the contrary, we could throw attacks and switch places.”

After hearing him, Liu Mei and grand elder Chen finally got his plan. They both exchanged a look and forced a smile. Before, they were both struggling about where to escape to, and had not realized that Ye Chen had already come up with a solution. It seemed like the level of power decided the perspectives of dealing with problems indeed.

Killing beasts would require a certain level of power. Ye Chen had the advantage of having his soul, power which covered ten times more ground than the beasts. It was something that would allow him to have the upper hand.

”Eh? There are three groups of beasts gathered together here.”

A smile flashed across Ye Chen's face as his Blue Wood Sword sliced through and a huge Green Lotus blossomed.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! …

In the next second, countless green colored sword qi appeared from Ye Chen's body like the spikes of a hedgehog, attacking the enemies ahead. Without any power to fight back, the three groups of beasts drowned in the sword qi ocean and ended up being full of wounds.

”Let's go!”

After killing all of the beasts with one attack, Ye Chen immediately changed his location.

…

With the same method, they had taken out four hundred beasts within three days of time, which included three leaders of the beasts.

”Now, we can go up now!”

Putting his Blue Wood Sword back into his scabbard, Ye Chen stepped on the rocks and shot out towards the surface of the ground.

Crack!

The ground had been pushed open, and the three appeared in the midair.

”Grand elder Ye, should we go check out the stone forest since we have no way of going out right now anyways?” Grand elder Chen said.

Ye Chen nodded. Of course, there was a possibility that there would be a huge number of beasts there, but at the same time, Ye Chen's attacking power had increased drastically as well. He was almost unbeatable within the Astral Reaching Realm. Even if it were a one on one with top-level beasts, he had nothing to be afraid of. In the worst case scenario, he could still make it out through the ground. Therefore, there was no harm in exploring the stone forest.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

The three flew towards the stone forest.

Ye Chen did not know exactly how big the stone forest was, since all of the rocks here were the size of a mountain, shining with a grey light.

The three entered the stone forest silently.

”Do not release your spirit power.” Ye Chen said with his zhen yuan.
