Everyone all showed looks of surprise when they looked at their locators. Liu Feng had already leaped out and was looking for a path. Although Bing Tianliang and the trio were surprised, they listened to the order and continued moving.

Only Lan Mengqin, who was at the back, spoke out, asking, Shouldnt we be heading in the direction back to base? Why are we moving in the opposite direction instead?

Lan Xuanyu looked her straight in the eyes and answered, We are currently over 500 kilometers away from base, with a mountain region between us and the base. I dont think that it will be possible to return back to base smoothly without being able to fly in three days. And I believe that the locator on our bodies is also a positioning tool that will allow the teachers to locate us easily. During the process of being sent over from the base to here, we never encountered any strong attacks. This means that in the 500 kilometers, there were no special alien monsters. We might be able to survive better, but we wont gain much. Theres eight of us and our overall strength is not weak. The academy will not put us in a test environment that will get us killed in a single second. So under these considerations, we should head towards the hills there. Its complicated terrain, so we might be able to meet more alien beasts to hunt and our rewards might be bigger. Lan Mengqin, I will explain this to you clearly, and only this once. There will be no next time, I hope that everyone will move according to what I say. Because when danger comes, the slightest hesitation will not only cause danger to befall on an individual, it might even cause our teammates to be in danger. Do you understand what I mean?

Lan Xuanyu looked straight at Lan Mengqin and spoke in a serious tone.

Lan Mengqin was startled, the gaze in his eyes completely different from before. This guy was truly different from the others.

Oh, she complied and no longer made a sound.

Lan Xuanyu had no other choice. If not for Lan Mengqins absolute strength, he would not be willing to bring on such an unstable factor, one that required him to explain his decisions.

But he was able to tell from Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqius coordination that they were indeed able to unleash a strong power when paired together. It was extremely helpful as a whole. He now hoped that Lan Mengqin would be able to assimilate completely into the entire body and not bring trouble. If real trouble came, he would immediately think of a way to separate from her, so much so that he was even willing to let her and Dong Qianqiu leave together. The separation of both parties might instead be even safer for them.

The group advanced forward quickly.

Just like Lan Xuanyu had mentioned, the hilly area was covered with vegetation but not overly dense. All of the purple and blue plants had life energy but did not emit much energy fluctuation. They were obviously not plant type soul beasts. No one knew if they were safe for consumption.

Not long after entering the hilly area, everyone heard a burst of hissing sounds, coming from the left, ahead of them. It sounded like the alien beasts that they had encountered previously.

Stop for a moment, Lan Xuanyu gestured and brought everyone to hide in the vegetation.

Liu Feng came back not long later and found everyone from a marker that Lan Xuanyu had left.

There are many weird beasts inside the hilly area. There was a battle that occured over there and over 10 weird beasts were killed. By the looks of it, it was done by Yuenen Huihui. He actually entered this region before us.

Everyone was shocked.

They had seen the strength of the weird beasts in the air. All the weird beasts on the planet, or at least the ones they had seen, were not extremely powerful but in no way were they weak. It only revealed how strong Yuenen Huihui was to have killed 10 beasts in such a short period of time. However, he was alone and did not team up with anyone. In fact, due to his overpowering individual strength, it was impossible for him to team up with substantially weaker people.

Do you know his rough direction? Are we able to follow? Lan Xuanyu asked Liu Feng.

Liu Feng nodded his head and replied, I can make a rough estimate. Since he only cared about fighting, I was able to follow him.

Lan Xuanyu asked, Are there many weird beasts in this hilly region?

Quite a few, replied Liu Feng. I discovered a few groups just now. All of these alien beasts seem to congregate, the smallest group being seven to eight and the largest so far a pack of over 100.

Lan Xuanyus eyes narrowed. Good, continue following Yuenen Huihui. Leave markers for us and we will move about near him.

Alright, Liu Feng turned and left immediately. Lan Xuanyu had given him another buff with the golden patterned Blue Silver Grass, allowing him to explode at a speed that left a series of afterimages. This caused Lan Mengqin and Bing Tianliang to glance at each other.

Lan Xuanyu whispered, For the next period of time, our battle strategy will be to fight near Yuenen Huihui. He is arrogant and strong, so he will definitely kill any weird beasts that he encounters and will head towards where the weird beasts are specifically. SInce the alien lifeforms here live in packs, it means that they are extremely united. Once he kills a few more, they will definitely start surrounding him. He will be the main attraction for the large quantity of weird beasts here. No matter how strong he is individually, it will be impossible for him to clash head on with all the number of weird beasts here, so fighting while being on the move is the best choice. We will hang around behind him and kill off the scattered weird beasts that follow him. With him as the attraction, we will be much more relaxed.

Lan Mengqins mouth twitched, asking, Are we taking advantage from behind?

Lan Xuanyu replied without flinching, How is this taking advantage? We are helping him fight his enemies and decreasing the pressure put on him.

Lan Mengqin suddenly felt that it was impossible to believe the boys expression. They were clearly taking advantage, but he was able to reason it out so well. It was truly a deadly, earnest load of nonsense.

But did you consider that by doing so, our rewards will definitely be less than his. He is extremely strong and will naturally kill many of the weird beasts. His contributions will definitely be higher than ours, Lan Mengqin frowned.

Lan Xuanyu coughed to clear his throat, He is but one person being chased by many weird beasts. He will be busy and might not be able to retrieve all the crystal cores ! To avoid waste, we can help him by remedying his error.

Lan Mengqin was stunned and quickly saw the strange look in Lan Xuanyus eyes. Yu Tian, who was at the side, was no longer able to hold it in. Isnt that your true goal?

Everyone immediately understood why Lan Xuanyu wanted to follow Yuenen Huihui.

Thats right! Yuenen Huihui was alone. Regardless of how strong he was, it would be considered a feat to be able to fight out of the mess against the number of soul beasts. How could he have the time to pull out the crystal cores while being surrounded? That required time! Even if he managed to do it, it would be impossible to pull out all the crystal cores, he would not have the time.

Lan Xuanyus sentence of remedying his errors had exposed his goal. This was no longer just taking advantage but putting all into the cheap gamble.

Having sensed everyones strange gaze at him, Lan Xuanyu asked indifferently, Isnt it worth it?

Yu Tian stuck out his thumb quickly. It is, Im convinced. Youre truly an evildoer. See how big his brain is, I wonder how he nurtured that. Upon saying that, he sensed Bing Tianliangs unkind gaze on him.

Yu Tian immediately coughed twice, Im just saying that I dont have a brain.

Bing Tianliang looked up at the sky. Although he was unwilling to admit it, if he truly had the brains of the boy in front of him, why would he even bother to cooperate with him?

Lets go. Well take a look, Lan Xuanyu stated.With a wave of his hand, everyone moved out once again.
