Chapter 1261

Zi Chen followed Shang Guan Hong and left through the back door. Then, they walked out of the city gates and boarded a flying boat according to Shang Guan Hong's instructions.

This time, the two of them were heading to a huge mountain range thousands of miles away. There were many Soldier, General, and Spirit Beasts there, but no King Beasts. This was in line with Zi Chen's standards.

From the moment they boarded the flying boat, Zi Chen stood at the front of the boat and looked into the distance.

Shang Guan Hong felt somewhat unnatural for a man and a woman to be alone. However, she quickly realized that she was overthinking things. On the flying boat, Zi Chen was very quiet and calm.

She had encountered such situations before, but most of them were old fellows in the Domain Realm. It was her first time encountering such a hot-blooded youth as calm as Zi Chen.

She carefully sized up Zi Chen and gradually sensed that there was something unusual about Zi Chen. When she looked into Zi Chen's eyes, her curious face suddenly turned into anger.

Zi Chen's eyes were lifeless as he stared blankly ahead. He had actually spaced out.

Spacing out meant being ignored.

Shang Guan Hong wasn't someone who used her appearance to show off. However, at this moment, a man and a woman were alone on a flying boat. Not only was she ignored, but he was also spacing out. This naturally made her angry.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Shang Guan Hong suddenly walked in front of Zi Chen and gently pushed Zi Chen.

"What are you doing?" Zi Chen came to his senses and looked at Shang Guan Hong.

"Do you know that you're spacing out? If I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago." Shang Guan Hong's voice was a bit loud because she was angry.

Zi Chen found Shang Guan Hong's behavior somewhat inexplicable and unreasonable. He decided to ignore her and once again looked into the distance. This time, he wasn't spacing out, but there was longing in his eyes.

It had been decades since he left the Tianwu Continent. He missed his friends, both men and women.

"I wonder how they are doing. Did they break through to the Emptiness Realm? Did they step into this world?" Zi Chen muttered.

The more he learned about this world, the more regretful Zi Chen felt. If he had known this would happen, he would have let them break through to the Corporeal Realm.

After all, the Emptiness Realm in this world was also filled with danger.

"My mind wandered again."

Shang Guan Hong had already walked up to Zi Chen and was very close to him. She moved closer to Zi Chen and asked, "I saw longing in your eyes just now. What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about your family, your friends, or … your wife?"

Zi Chen sorted out his emotions, and his expression returned to indifference. He said indifferently, "Nothing."

"Impossible. I felt that your emotions were fluctuating violently just now, and they were filled with longing and love. You still admitted it."

Shang Guan Hong was very curious, but Zi Chen couldn't be bothered to answer. However, as Shang Guan Hong continued to ask, Zi Chen helplessly began to talk about the Martial Heaven Continent.

It went without saying that back then, the Martial Heaven Continent was an existence comparable to heaven in the eyes of the Zhan Wu Continent's people.

Just as the two of them were chatting and gradually becoming familiar with each other, the news of the Void Tree being auctioned in Huping City spread.

This news was enough to cause an uproar. Regardless of whether one could buy it or not, the Void Tree was destined to become a hot topic of discussion.

At the same time, there were also people who privately wondered which idiot actually wanted to auction the Void Tree.

Obviously, at the level where one could obtain the Void Tree, resources were just a number. Who would exchange a supreme treasure for a number?

The Void Tree being auctioned was extremely rare in the history of Huping City, so the auction was held in the largest auction hall.

When the time came, those who participated in the auction would all be in the Domain realm. As for those in the Corporeal realm, they didn't even have the qualifications to participate.

There were many people outside Hunter's Castle every day, so if one stood in front of the castle for a long time, it would be very difficult to attract everyone's attention.

A man in purple had been staring at Hunter's Castle for half a day, but he didn't step inside. In the end, he just chuckled and turned to leave.

Before he left, his expression was complicated. It seemed that he was reminiscing, but also hating.

Zi Chen and Shang Guan Hong spent two days to travel thousands of miles. During this time, the two of them had a very pleasant chat on the flying boat.

At least, that was what Shang Guan Hong thought.

Zi Chen's legendary growth history was like a history book, which made her yearn for the Tianwu Continent even more.

The flying boat stopped at the periphery of the mountain range. The two of them jumped off the boat and walked forward.

"Although there are no King-level Battle Beasts here, there are many Spirit-level Battle Beasts and many people. It's best to be careful." As they went deeper into the forest, Shang Guan Hong began to remind Zi Chen.

However, thinking about his growth history, she felt that this reminder was unnecessary, because Zi Chen couldn't be careless.

After going ten miles into the area, the two of them encountered their first Battle Beast, which was a Soldier-level Battle Beast.

The Soldier-level Battle Beast was very large. It was eating, and the arrival of the two of them undoubtedly disturbed it.

"Roar."

After seeing the two of them, it roared angrily. Its eyes flashed with an indescribable light, and it directly rushed toward Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's figure flashed and easily dodged the Soldier-level Battle Beast's attack. Then, he kicked the Soldier-level Battle Beast.

In this attack, Zi Chen didn't use any Yuan Power at all. He only used pure strength.

The Soldier-level Battle Beast flew backward and crashed into four ancient trees before stopping.

"Your strength is really great." Shang Guan Hong looked at Zi Chen in surprise.

Zi Chen said indifferently, "It's just so-so. Let's go."

"Let's go. Aren't you here to hunt Battle Beasts? Why don't you kill it?" Shang Guan Hong asked doubtfully.

"It's a Spirit-level Battle Beast." Zi Chen corrected.

Now, even if a General-level Battle Beast appeared in front of him, Zi Chen wouldn't bother to kill it, let alone a Soldier-level Battle Beast.

Shang Guan Hong couldn't understand Zi Chen's thoughts, but seeing Zi Chen leave, she could only follow.

Zi Chen had killed too many people along the way, and he had long been tired of it. Therefore, unless it was necessary to kill, he really didn't want to kill.

Along the way, no matter if he encountered Soldier-level Battle Beasts or General-level Battle Beasts, Zi Chen would kick them away, appearing very relaxed.

Some General-level Battle Beasts could already threaten some Realm-level Battle Beasts, but in Zi Chen's eyes, it was still a matter of a kick. As they moved forward, Shang Guan Hong gradually understood Zi Chen's strength.

Even without the Thunder Wings, she believed that Zi Chen could kill Realm-level Battle Beasts.

This dense forest was very big. If they wanted to find Spirit-level Battle Beasts, they could only go deeper and deeper.

Soon, a day passed, and the two of them didn't find any Spirit-level Battle Beasts.

At night, Zi Chen started a bonfire and began to roast meat.

Shang Guan Hong kindly reminded him, "This is the mountain range. If you dare to start a fire at night, it will attract Battle Beasts."

Zi Chen chuckled, "It's best if it can attract Battle Beasts, so I don't have to look for them again."

Shang Guan Hong's expression was not relaxed, "There won't be just one or two Battle Beasts. This will attract groups of them."

"Alright, I'll treat it as practice."

As the roasted meat gradually turned golden, the aroma of the meat wafted out.

After the meat was cooked, Zi Chen gave a large piece to Black Eagle, and the rest was shared with Shang Guan Hong.

Rustling sounds suddenly came from the forest, and the aura of Battle Beasts rushed in from all directions. In the dark night, the Battle Beasts were actually hiding their aura, but they couldn't escape the two's perception.

Many Battle Beasts came from all directions, but unfortunately, there were no Spirit-level Battle Beasts.

However, in Shang Guan Hong's eyes, a group of General-level Battle Beasts was very difficult to deal with.

"Ha."

Without waiting for the Battle Beasts to rush up, Zi Chen shouted and rushed out.

He rushed into the forest like a ray of golden light. Soon after, a series of thumping noises rang out from the forest. These noises were accompanied by the enraged roars of warbeasts. However, these roars quickly turned into terrified shrieks.

In the dense forest, vision was blocked. Shang Guan Hong used her spiritual sense to investigate everything that happened in the forest. Her red lips were slightly open, and her face was full of shock.

Compared with these Battle Beasts, Zi Chen was more like a Battle Beast, rampaging among the many Battle Beasts without any defense at all.

Every General-level Battle Beast would be knocked away as soon as it came into contact with Zi Chen.

The roars were accompanied by the sound of ancient trees breaking.

In a short while, this group of Battle Beasts was knocked down by Zi Chen, but he only injured them. Zi Chen didn't kill them.

After returning, Zi Chen obviously hadn't had enough fun. Shang Guan Hong's expression suddenly changed at this moment. She looked at Zi Chen and wanted to say something, but for some reason, she stopped.

After a while, Zi Chen, who came forward, exclaimed, "Hey, this is a Spirit-level Battle Beast."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Chen excitedly turned into a golden light and chased after it. Shang Guan Hong's face was shocked again. This time, she was shocked by Zi Chen's perception. It was actually so sharp.

Spirit-level Battle Beasts were very strong. This time, Zi Chen couldn't finish the battle quickly. There was no sound of energy explosion in the forest, and there was also the sound of ancient trees breaking.

The energy oscillated, and the aftermath crushed the broken ancient trees into powder. The battle between Zi Chen and the Spirit-level Battle Beast could be said to be fierce and exciting.

Zi Chen's speed was very fast, like a flash of light. Shang Guan Hong extended her spiritual sense to pay attention nervously. As long as Zi Chen showed signs of being defeated, she would go forward to help.

However, judging from the battle situation, Zi Chen obviously had the upper hand. He had been suppressing the Spirit-level Battle Beast.

After a full quarter of an hour, Zi Chen roared, "Die."

As the roar fell, Shang Guan Hong saw a dazzling light in her spiritual sense.

After the light fell, it was accompanied by a shrill scream.

The battle was over.

Not long after, Zi Chen appeared by the bonfire with a happy smile on his face. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the battle.

He was indeed very satisfied, because he had killed a Spirit-level Battle Beast with only the power of the Virtual Realm.

Shang Guan Hong was shocked because of this. She finally understood why the Hunter's Castle couldn't wait to add an identity imprint on Zi Chen when he was only at the Virtual Realm.

Because when such a person grew up, it was indeed very scary.

The next morning, the two continued on their journey.

Shang Guan Hong looked at the energetic Zi Chen and said, "Yesterday, there was someone behind us, but I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional tracking."
