10 The Time to Hunt Has Begun!

The next morning.

Ye Chen finished his rest and casually hunted a wild boar to fill his stomach.

Then, he started to wander in the forest.

His current goal was to kill as many low-level knights as possible.

While honing his battle experience, he could also gain some more knowledge.

After searching for a few hours, Ye Chen finally met a human team.

Ye Chen secretly observed for a while. Then, after they were far away, he quietly followed them.

He was very clear about his current strength.

He killed an apprentice knight unexpectedly with his ultimate move, the 'super flying lizard demon tail piercing spear'.

Otherwise, if they were to fight face to face, he would not be able to defeat that knight who had roughly grasped the wind attribute battle Qi.

His ace attack, the poison arrow, had been dodged by him. Could he still use his mouth to bite him and his tail to whip him?

He was afraid of the speed that the enemy had. Ye Chen felt that he could not get as many sword attacks if that were the case.

Therefore, Ye Chen knew that his most significant advantage was hiding and launching sneak attacks.

It would be best if he could kill the leader of the group with one attack. Then, he would only need to spend a little bit of effort to kill the remaining slaves.

Just like that, Ye Chen patiently stayed away from the group.

When the sky turned dark and set up camp again, Ye Chen did not act rashly. Instead, he waited until late into the night.

Looking at the knight sleeping in the middle of the camp, Ye Chen thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"

He had already guessed that as the group leader, it would be impossible for him to keep watch for those lowly slave catchers.

Indeed, the knights had already entered their sleeping bags to rest while the slave catchers took turns to keep watch.

Even so, Ye Chen still waited until the second half of the night.

At this time, the sleeping people had already entered a deep sleep, and the guards were also the most mentally exhausted.

Ye Chen bypassed the guards and hid five to six meters away from the camp.

Opening his mouth slightly, a seven-colored mist shot out from his mouth and floated toward the people in the camp.

Soon, the whole camp was covered by the seven-colored mist.

The slave catcher rubbed his throat sadly. He wanted to cough but did not dare disturb the sleeping knight, so he could only hold it in.

By the time he found the thin poisonous mist in the dark, it was already too late to warn him.

The poisonous fog he had inhaled earlier had already wholly destroyed his lungs and throat.

He scratched his neck in pain, and the two slave catchers on night duty passed out.

It was not until that knight got up in a daze and started coughing violently.

All the other slave catchers in the camp had already been poisoned to death.

The knight immediately realized that something was wrong. He suppressed the discomfort in his body and grabbed his sword before getting up unsteadily.

But, how could Ye Chen give him the time to recover?

With the tiger gene fully activated, Ye Chen rushed toward the knight who had just been woken up by the smell of poison.

The knight saw a purple light in the corner of his eyes and subconsciously wanted to activate the battle Qi in his body.

However, the poison fog had already damaged his central nervous system while sleeping, making his movements slower by half a beat.

Just as a layer of water battle Qi appeared on the surface of his body...

Ye Chen had already jumped high up into the air, using the long tail of the giant python to smash down on his face.

The knight raised his sword with great difficulty to resist.

After blocking a few times, Ye Chen finally seized the opportunity and bit down on his neck.

Ye Chen directly imitated the crocodile's 'death roll'. As he bit down on the throat, his body rotated.

Half of the knight's neck was instantly torn apart by him.

Looking at the fallen knight, Ye Chen did not dare to waste too much time.

After 'cleaning up' the scene, he once again ran into the dark forest...

..

"So, this forest I'm in is called the Shadow Forest?"

Ye Chen crawled in a cave, digesting the 'knowledge' he had just obtained.

Not only did he know the name of the place he was in, but he also knew that this continent was called the Sacred Continent.

And the Shadow Forest he was in right now was only one of the small places called the Eagle Nest Territory on the Sacred Continent.

In the entire Sacred Continent, thousands of Barons were in the Eagle Nest Territory.

And the Eagle Nest Territory belonged to the Oracle Empire, one of the three great empires on the Dragon Roar Continent.

So far, that was all he knew.

What was the territory's name next to it, and whether there were other continents, was still unclear.

Just these alone had shocked Ye Chen greatly.

Because according to this estimation, the Oracle Empire's territory alone would probably be even more significant than the total land area on Earth in his previous life.

"A bit bigger, that's good too..."

After a while, Ye Chen did not care anymore.

After all, he was just a tiny lizard, so why would he care so much?

He might as well think about the two brown bears that had just crawled into the cave. But, of course, he would rather eat that male or that female...

It was just a joke.

Ye Chen did not let go of the last one and swallowed them all.

Right now, ordinary beasts were no longer Ye Chen's match.

Even if it were two fierce brown bears...

In the end, they had only turned into power genes and were absorbed into Ye Chen's body.

He had followed them for the whole day yesterday and had a fierce battle at night. Therefore, Ye Chen did not plan to go out today.

After eating the two brown bears and filling his stomach...

Ye Chen lay in the cave and rested without moving.

...

In the camp of Silver Knight Jacob.

He was calmly listening to the reports of the teams.

"Among the five teams I led, one of them was ambushed by a demonic beast while camping, and all of them were killed."

"My team is normal. We have already started to check location no. 15."

"My team also had a team that a magical beast attacked. All of them were killed."

"My team was also attacked by a blood bear demonic beast. We lost two knights and eight slave catchers before we killed it."

"I..."

One report after another.

The clerk next to Jacob gathered the casualties and handed them over to him.

Looking at the two teams that had lost all their members, they had yet to discover what kind of demonic beast they were up against.

"What kind of demonic beast did you find?" Jacob asked coldly.

The two bronze knights also reported the abnormalities that they had found.

"Oh? Does that mean that the two teams found traces of the seven-colored poison at the location where they were attacked?"

"Pass down my orders. All teams that have found the seven-colored poison lizard demonic beast immediately gather the nearby teams and surround them!"

"Everyone else, the search location remains the same. Therefore, continue to search for the elven village."

Following the order, the group of bronze knights retreated.

Only then did Jacob read the casualty report with some heartache.

The trusted clerk next to him asked in puzzlement, "Sir Jacob, why did the Lord go all out to find the elven village despite the casualties? Could it be that it was to take revenge for that group of lowly slave catchers?"

Jacob threw the casualty report on the table.

He sighed, "Of course not... It's just an excuse. It should be to curry favor with that lecherous young master, Count Martin."

Hearing that, the clerk could only sigh and continue to organize the documents...
