Chapter 1601

Zi Chen's Stagger Step was extremely precise, and his timing was perfect as well, allowing him to avoid the fatal blow.

In the outside world, this Stagger Step was equivalent to teleportation. Not only could he avoid the attack, but he could also counterattack.

In this world, the suppression of extreme speed was very obvious. Zi Chen could not teleport and counterattack, but extreme speed was still the essence of extreme speed.

Adjusting his center of gravity slightly, the unsheathed Dragon Thorn turned into a cold light and pierced towards Aeschi's heart.

The Dragon Thorn's special effect of ignoring defense was fully demonstrated at this moment. Aeschi's heart was completely pierced through.

The power contained in Aeschi's blade instantly dissipated, but the sharp edge of the blade still left a bloody mark on Zi Chen's shoulder.

Zi Chen quickly retreated, the Dragon Thorn in his hand had already been sheathed, and his face was slightly pale.

The Dragon Thorn just now had directly drained 85% of his power, which was equivalent to using up one Spirit Crystal.

Aeschi's body fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to raise his head and look at Zi Chen, blood spurting out of his mouth. His eyes were wide open with disbelief, and then his head tilted to the side and he fell to the ground, dead.

The three of them had used this trick to kill countless people. It was a tried and tested technique, but they did not expect Aeschi to die under this trick today.

Zi Chen's Stagger Step was the key. That was the essence of the Nine Lightning Flashes. In addition, the Dragon Thorn's ability to ignore any defense was also extremely important.

Looking at the dead Aeschi on the ground, the remaining two people's faces changed drastically. However, the two of them were also used to living a life of bloodshed. After looking at each other, they gripped their weapons tightly and charged towards Zi Chen.

"Bang."

With a shake of his spear, the word 'Bang' appeared. A powerful surge of energy surged and directly pushed one of them back. Then, Zi Chen placed his right hand on the hilt of his blade and used the Sword Drawing Technique again.

A flash of blade light flashed in front of the cultivator, and the blade light disappeared in a flash.

The seventh stage of the Sword Drawing Technique was suppressed by this world, and only one stage of power was left. However, ten percent was still enough to kill the enemy.

Ignoring the cultivator, Zi Chen sheathed his blade and swept his spear towards the early stage of the seventh stage.

Zi Chen was full of confidence in fighting one-on-one with someone of the same level.

"Pu."

In less than three moves, Zi Chen had already pierced through his chest. At the same time, he activated the Shattering Word Technique and blew up his opponent's internal organs.

In less than a minute, Zi Chen had killed all three of them.

However, one against three, Zi Chen had to pay a price.

The blade slashed across his cheek, leaving behind a trail of blood. Zi Chen's shoulder also had an additional cut. He had used up 95% of his strength, and the Dragon Stab had used up 85% of his strength.

Next, he cleaned up the battlefield. The weapons on the three were worth a few spirit crystals. Zi Chen searched the three for a while and found eight spirit crystals. However, Zi Chen did not find any high-grade items such as storage pouches. Instead, he looked at the three's boots. Zi Chen was disappointed to find that they were all ordinary items that were not even worth a single spirit crystal.

The three combined were not as rich as Zi Chen. It was clear that they were not important people. After confirming that the three did not have anything valuable, Zi Chen opened their Abdomen with his spear.

Each of them had a fist-sized crystal in their Abdomen.

This was the foundation of an adventurer's strength. Just like the inner core, it contained slightly more energy than a spirit crystal. The mid-stage seventh stage adventurer in the lead had a huge amount of energy in his spirit crystal, which was equivalent to ten times that of a normal spirit crystal.

This was the foundation of why humans killed each other. This was what Zi Chen had learned from his basic knowledge.

The three of them did not bring any backpacks. It was clear that they were planning to return to the city after killing.

Zi Chen put the backpack and dagger into his storage pouch. Then, he carried the four weapons and a sheathed saber and walked towards the Dax Plain.

Along the way, Zi Chen took out a spirit crystal and started to absorb the energy within until he recovered 655% of his strength.

There were Dax Outlanders living in the Dax Plain. Zi Chen's goal was to find some Dax Beasts to kill or lone Dax Beastmen.

Zi Chen traveled during the day and buried himself in the ground at night to better protect himself.

Two days later, Zi Chen arrived at the Dax Plain.

The Dax Plain was like a desert of death, and he could not see the end. There were some weeds growing at the edges that were half a meter tall and swayed with the wind, giving off a sense of danger.

This was indeed the case. As soon as Zi Chen arrived, something jumped out of the weeds and pounced at Zi Chen.

This was a Dax Black Panther. Its attack power was similar to a black wolf, but it was very fast.

As the dangerous aura approached, Zi Chen immediately turned around and swung his spear at the black panther.

Whoosh!

However, the black panther suddenly stopped in midair and moved one meter to the side, dodging this attack and swatting at Zi Chen's head.

Pfff!

A sharp blade pierced into the black panther's body first, extinguishing the black panther's vitality.

After spending six spirit crystals to buy the basic knowledge, Zi Chen had a much clearer understanding of these beasts. Zi Chen had long since memorized their special methods and attack characteristics.

The two attacks, one real and one fake, had consumed less than 65% of his energy. If he killed a black panther and brought it back, he would have earned seven spirit crystals.

However, Zi Chen did not plan on going back immediately, so he only dug out the Dax Black Panther's heart, a piece of bone that gave off a faint light, and a piece of fur that was still intact. These three things were worth five spirit crystals, so it was a loss of two spirit crystals.

After dealing with the black panther, Zi Chen quickly left. The thick smell of blood permeated the air. There would soon be a large number of beasts attacking this place. If he encountered a pack of Dax wolves, Zi Chen would most likely be in trouble.

On the way, Zi Chen encountered two more attacks. They were both Dax Black Rats. They were not very valuable, but the two of them provided Zi Chen with four spirit crystals.

On the first day in the Dax Plains, Zi Chen obtained eleven spirit crystals. As for the night, Zi Chen concealed all of his aura and buried himself in the ground again.

This was a self-protection method recorded in the basic knowledge, but it required him to have an extraordinary aura concealment method.

If he was discovered by the Dax beasts, he would be surrounded and attacked.

Zi Chen had the Perfect Body. Even if it was suppressed, it was still a Perfect Body. His aura concealment method was top-notch.

At night, the Dax Plains was very terrifying. All of the beasts came out in groups to look for food. Beasts would even fight in groups. All sorts of roars reverberated through the plains. Even though Zi Chen was hidden underground, he could still hear them clearly.

The ground was shaking, and all sorts of mournful roars reverberated in his ears. Zi Chen felt that the battle on the ground was less than fifty meters away from him.

The first night passed just like that. Zi Chen crawled out of the ground. Sure enough, he saw large amounts of blood splattered not far away, but there was not a single beast corpse.

During the day, there would be some beasts that would come out alone to look for food. This was Zi Chen's target.

On this day, Zi Chen killed a black wolf, three black rats, and a black panther. His harvest was enough to exchange for fifteen spirit crystals. After two days, Zi Chen had used up one spirit crystal.

The strength of these beasts was equivalent to that of a Tier Five or Six human, but their attacking methods were very ingenious. Zi Chen paced around the periphery. He was not in a hurry to go in. At the same time, he repeatedly trained his battle techniques.

Because there were very few spirit crystals and a serious energy shortage, Zi Chen would calculate how much energy he would use before each attack, as well as how much power he should use.

Apart from that, as he became more and more familiar with the plains, Zi Chen's senses gradually became sharper.

For example, right now, he could see a Dax panther lying in a bush in the distance. It had been staring at him for a long time, but it was very nervous.

Zi Chen walked towards the bush and gradually entered the panther's attack range. However, the panther did not attack.

In the panther's eyes, this human was filled with a thick baleful aura. Within this baleful aura, it could sense the aura of many of its kind. This human gave it a very dangerous feeling.

Even though he was within its attack range, it still hesitated whether or not to attack.

However, after some hesitation, it still retreated and prepared to quietly escape. This human was very dangerous, extremely dangerous.

Suddenly, the human in front of it seemed to have discovered something. He actually turned around, and the human's entire back charged towards it without any defense.

A savage light flashed through the panther's eyes. It knew that its chance had come. Thus, it did not hesitate to use its strength, jumping up and pouncing.

"Pu."

However, in the next moment, a silver light appeared in the panther's eyes. This silver light was still expanding. It immediately recognized that this was a weapon in the human's hand. However, it was too late. The spear had pierced through its head. It was so fast that it could not even stop or change directions.

Withdrawing the spear, the panther fell to the ground. Zi Chen skillfully bent over and began to dissect the corpse. He dug out the heart, scraped the bones, and skinned it.

In the blink of an eye, Zi Chen had already been in the Dax Plains for ten days. During these ten days, Zi Chen's harvest was not small. The one-square-meter storage bag was filled with all sorts of materials that could be exchanged for spirit crystals. In addition, there was also a stack of fur on the spear in his hand. These could also be exchanged for spirit crystals.

He had already used more than half of the 75 spirit crystals that he could use. Calculating the time, Zi Chen should be returning.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from the distance. "Human, I've finally found you."

A figure appeared in the distance. It was a Beastman with a human body but a head like the Dax panther's.

"It's the Dax Beastman."

Zi Chen immediately recognized that this was a foreign race.

Killing a foreign race gave him one contribution point, which could be exchanged for ten spirit crystals.

Throwing the fur and bag to the side, Zi Chen held his spear with a cautious expression.

The Dax Beastman in front of him was equivalent to a human at Stage Seven. However, they were more familiar with this world and had long since integrated into it. They had extremely powerful offensive abilities.

This alien was barefooted. Every time he stomped his feet on the ground, he would leap dozens of meters forward. His speed was extremely fast.

His panther eyes were filled with savagery.

Humans could exchange contribution points for spirit crystals if they killed foreign races. The same was true for foreign races.

"Die!"

With an explosive roar, the foreign race had already arrived in front of Zi Chen. Five sharp spikes appeared on the back of his outstretched hand, and he smashed them towards Zi Chen's head.
