Chapter 109: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey
An invisible murderous intent spread all around, causing them to gasp in shock. Almost at the same time, they shifted their gaze away.
Chen Li did not pay any more attention to these people. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Zheng Yuan, "Go in."
Zheng Yuan didn't say anything, just nodded, and followed Chen Li into the city.
Although there were people from all walks of life, Chen Li had no interest in them. His current purpose of coming here was just to find a place to rest.
"Let's rest here for a day today, and then set off tomorrow morning." Zheng Yuan said bluntly as he watched the sky gradually darken.
"Why not go directly to the Boundless Sea now?" Chen Li was quite curious about this.
Zheng Yuan shook his head. "The closer we get to the Boundless Sea, the more dangerous it becomes. Especially at night, the monsters will become extremely violent. There are even some terrifying monsters. Even you and I may not be able to deal with them."
After hearing this, Chen Li finally understood why this happened.
It seems that the other party has already anticipated all these things. If we go directly to the Boundless Sea, we may encounter those mad monsters at night and be buried in their stomachs.
"Since you have said so, let's rest here for a day." Chen Li glanced around. There were no inns or restaurants here. The only resting places were probably the corners against the wall.
Chen Li felt helpless, but he just found a corner to sit down and started practicing.
It has to be said that Chen Li is indeed a cultivation maniac, and he chooses to practice almost whenever he has time.
But despite this, Chen Li was very clear that cultivation was one thing, but if he practiced too deeply, he would probably be targeted by these people and die.
He was also very clear that everyone here was an enemy and he must not take it lightly.
However, there were still quite a few people staring at Chen Li, looking at him with a fierce look, as if they wanted to kill him.
Zheng Yuan didn't think much about it, but just rested peacefully.
When night fell, people around had already started to rest, but some people were looking around unconsciously, obviously planning to take action.
"It seems that this place is not as quiet as I thought at night." Chen Li slowly opened his eyes and said coldly when he saw a big knife in front of him.
Zheng Yuan said calmly: "They are just some trash."
They didn't make any movement, just watched quietly.
boom!
The big knife just hit the air, and then suddenly bounced back and took a few steps back.
The spiritual energy caused pain in the opponent's palm, which made him grin involuntarily.
He originally thought that although these people were powerful, as long as he approached Chen Li and the others quietly, he could kill them.
But I didn't expect that they were already prepared.
"It seems that we still have to do something to kill the chicken to scare the monkey." Chen Li frowned and said so.
At this time, Zheng Yuan was holding a dagger in his hand, and had a thick smile : "Since you have said so, why not let me do this?"
"Okay." Chen Li didn't think much about it. Since Zheng Yuan wanted to do this, then just leave it to him.
At this moment, Zheng Yuan's figure suddenly disappeared, and soon appeared behind the man.
Click.
In an instant, a hand fell to the ground.
The sturdy man was still a little confused at first, but the pain that followed made him gasp.
"ah!"
The severe pain made him scream.
But this is not the end yet, because Zheng Yuan will not let him go so easily.
He raised his knife and another hand fell to the ground.
Both of his hands were broken, and the strong man felt almost torn apart by the pain.
He didn't know what was going on. He had clearly used his spiritual energy to protect his wounds, but it had no effect at all. The painful area was still painful.
Zheng Yuan looked at the sturdy man with a smile on his face, "Since you have already attacked us just now, I think you should have thought about what the outcome will be for you."
After hearing this, the other party realized that he might really die here this time.
His original plan was to escape as quickly as possible, even if he couldn't escape, at least he would die a quick death.
But Zheng Yuan didn't give him any chance to escape, nor would he let him die so easily.
"Damn it, if you've got the guts, give me a quick kill!" the sturdy man yelled at Zheng Yuan over there.
But Zheng Yuan didn't care about all that. He directly stabbed the dagger into the scapula of the strong man, and then exerted force suddenly.
Snap!
A piece of bone was broken directly.
"ah!"
The intense pain finally made this man unable to bear it any longer. He compressed the spiritual energy directly in his own qi sea, wanting to self-destruct and die together with Zheng Yuan and the others.
Everyone around was shocked. Is this strong man crazy?
Although the self-detonation of the Foundation Establishment Stage is not enough to destroy a city, people like them will almost certainly be affected.
Unfortunately, Zheng Yuan didn't give him this chance at all, and the dagger directly stabbed into the stomach of the sturdy man.
In an instant, the spiritual energy that was constantly compressing suddenly disappeared.
Feeling his spiritual energy suddenly dissipating, the sturdy man's face was filled with shock.
What is going on here?
He had clearly condensed all the spiritual energy just now, but it has disappeared now?
"If you want to die so easily, it's not as easy as you think." Zheng Yuan's cruel smile appeared on the sturdy man's face, making him feel a strong sense of panic.
But despite this, Zheng Yuan had no intention of letting the opponent go and continued to attack cruelly.
After a whole incense stick of time, the strong man finally died because he could not endure such pain anymore.
Seeing this sturdy man look like a monster, the people around him gasped.
To be honest, they all wanted to take action against Chen Li and others just now, but now it seems almost unrealistic.
If they were to deal with Chen Li and the others with their current strength, they would end up like that burly man.
Chen Li didn't pay attention to these people's thoughts. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Zheng Yuan over there, "Now that you've had enough fun, there's no need to make trouble anymore."
Zheng Yuan grinned, then put away the dagger in his hand and sat next to Chen Li.
"Aren't you going a bit too far by doing this?" Chen Li said very bluntly when looking at Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Yuan said, "You have to understand me. I haven't killed anyone for a long time. I finally met a fool. Do you think I can let him go?"
The effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is still very good.
The people around hardly dared to turn their eyes here, for fear of meeting Chen Li and the others' gazes and being subjected to such an inhumane attack.
During this night, these people did not dare to rest, for fear that Zheng Yuan and his men would take action.
But what they didn't know was that even if they wanted to run, they couldn't escape.
Of course, Chen Li has no interest in these people. As long as they don’t provoke him, he won’t take the initiative to provoke them.
It was not until early the next morning that Chen Li and Zheng Yuan set off immediately and left the abandoned city.
I'm afraid that for a long time, both Chen Li and Zheng Yuan will leave a deep psychological shadow in their hearts.
Chen Li naturally ignored these people and instead headed quickly towards the boundless sea.
But while he was on the road, he could also see quite a few dead bodies.
The bodies looked mutilated and some of them had their internal organs exposed.
Not only those of monsters, but also those of humans.
"Is this the warning you told me last night?" Chen Li didn't have many thoughts when looking at the corpses.
Zheng Yuan nodded. "Yes, at night, a strange mist will be emitted from this area of the Boundless Sea. I don't know where the mist comes from, but it will make these monsters lose their minds and start to fight against all the species around them."
Looking at these mutilated corpses, Chen Li felt helpless. If it weren't for Zheng Yuan, if he had come here alone, he would probably have been in danger or died here.
But in that boundless sea, there might be even greater dangers waiting for them.
"Um?"
At this time, Chen Li suddenly stopped and involuntarily shifted his gaze to a seemingly hidden location.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Chen Li suddenly stop moving, Zheng Yuan became a little confused.
Chen Li pointed to a direction not far away and said to Zheng Yuan, "There is something good."
"A monster in the Jindan stage?" Zheng Yuan asked.
Chen Li nodded, "That should be it."
"Let's go and take a look." It was almost impossible for Zheng Yuan to kill a Jindan stage monster alone.
Now that Chen Li is here, I can naturally get a piece of the pie.
So the two of them made a prompt decision and headed straight over there.
Along the way, Chen Li could smell a very strong smell of blood, and there were quite a few things staring at this side.
Just after Chen Li noticed the monsters staring at him, they escaped so easily.
"It's really strange. Logically speaking, these monsters shouldn't be able to escape so easily after targeting us." Zheng Yuan said.
Chen Li nodded, "If that's the case, I'm afraid they are afraid of something."
What are you afraid of?
This makes people feel a little curious.
It should be impossible for those monsters to be afraid of them.
In other words, are those guys afraid of the Jindan stage monster deep in the forest?
Maybe I have found a treasure this time.
Before long, Chen Li and the other person arrived at a place that looked very secluded.
In front of them was a monster with fangs.
It was clearly a tiger, but it had green fur and was dozens of meters tall, with blood-red eyes, which looked extremely creepy.
"Devil Pattern Demonic Tiger!"
When Zheng Yuan saw the tiger, he was completely stunned.
To be honest, he had never expected that he would encounter the Demonic Pattern Tiger in such a place this time.
This is a demon beast in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and it is simply not something they can deal with.
Although Zheng Yuan is a bloodthirsty person, he is not a fool. This kind of monster is definitely not something they can eat.
"I feel that we should leave this place quickly before it discovers us." Zheng Yuan said to Chen Li.
But Chen Li grinned and said, "I actually want to kill it."
