Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 29

[Chapter 29 Beast Tide (asking for monthly ticket)]

Another world.

Underground camp.

After dealing with the matters on the Eagle Star, Fang Xing immediately returned here.

Feeling the fresher air and the more suitable environment for martial arts training, he showed excitement on his face: “Before school starts, I will try not to leave, just for the sake of my liver!”

This trip to the black market made him feel a lot and realized more deeply his own weakness.

Being weak is not scary, just catch up.

“Um?”

After arriving at the monitoring room and checking the system monitoring log, Fang Xing’s expression suddenly changed: “How could this happen? There are so many more monsters…?”

During these days of surveillance, the number of monster activities around the camp has increased dramatically!

Even the camouflaged lawn on the ground looked messy and full of holes, as if it had been plowed.

“Hmm? A lot of simulated bird drones are broken…”

Fang Xing quickly released a new drone and immediately saw a series of astonishing scenes.

On the vast land, monsters are running and fighting…

The original territory of the wild boar monster had long been replaced by a group of red fist-sized ants.

The ferocious wild boar monster that had killed many warriors had actually turned into a white skeleton, standing quietly in a certain place, as if expressing its pain and unwillingness…

“Although I heard about the frequent activities of monsters in the market last time…but this has become too intense all of a sudden, right?”

“I really know too little about this world…”

Fang Xing sighed silently.

Although it was becoming very dangerous outside, he had his reasons for going to the market.

Apart from anything else, once the elixir and the spirit rice talisman are used up
, they must be replenished! ‘It shouldn’t be too difficult to find a safer road through the drone…’

“But the most urgent thing is to check the situation of the market first… If Qinglin Market is breached, then it will be worthless… No, it will be more worthwhile to pick up garbage!”

Fang Xing’s expression became serious: “Here, I have nano protective clothing and electric batons to use. With the help of talismans, my strength will be greatly increased… But it’s still not safe, maybe…”

He thought of the product he had been dreaming about – the Swift Dragon-class laser gun!
Of course, he couldn’t afford the black market version, but the one in the official mall was okay.

Although two hundred thousand is not a small amount, it is not impossible to earn the money by going to the black market a few more times.

More importantly…

“Even if I can’t kill humans, I can kill monsters!”

“It’s a pity that the laser gun has a built-in ‘cannot be used against people’ program. It works even without an internet connection. Otherwise, it would be great…”

Fang Xing discovered that there was another benefit to traveling between the two worlds, which was that he could bypass some restrictions.

For example, the basic nanosuit in his hand. Ever since he saw the backdoor-free version on the black market, he knew that it was the right decision not to bring modern products back.

Of course, if the technological products in his hands can send data back to the Blue Star Federation across a world, it means that the Federation has already mastered the technology of traveling through different dimensions, and Fang Xing can only accept it.

“Most of the federal weapons that can be purchased through legitimate channels are not allowed to be used against humans… But I can use them in another world. As long as there is no built-in program, it can be bypassed and it can’t even report an alarm…”

“And the talismans and instruments from another world… would definitely be very useful if they were used to commit murder on Young Eagle Star. The most important thing is that they would not leave any clues…”

Any weapon has a source, but for the Eagle Star, talismans and magic tools just appear out of thin air, which can cut off many clues.

“It is possible that they are related to the evil gods… After all, they have the power over the imaginary space, so they should be able to send some supplies… But the cultists? Aren’t they just there to take the blame?”

Fang Xing felt justified in putting the blame on them.

…

Puff!

Puff!

In the jungle, a few birds flew by, their eyes were dull but their bodies were very agile.

After a moment, a figure emerged, sneaking forward in secret. It was Fang Xing!
“This is a bit troublesome…”

Fang Xing showed his true appearance this time, wearing a bun and ancient costume, with a large basket on his back containing some medicinal herbs.

After all, a lot of spiritual rice has been consumed, so I have to go to the market to replenish it.

For this trip, he mobilized a large number of drones to find a suitable and safe route, taking a long detour, which was quite troublesome.

But thinking about the monster he had seen before, Fang Xing felt that taking a detour might be a good idea.

“That demon beast… is actually six or seven meters tall, and its claws are bigger than me… It’s either in the late stage of Qi training or at the foundation building stage… It’s better to stay away from it.”

He murmured to himself.

In Qinglin Market, Fang Xing had also heard of the general classification of monsters. The monsters that could basically rival cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage were first-level monsters.

The counterpart to the Foundation Establishment cultivators is the second-order monster!
“Nowadays, even second-order monsters may appear…”

“If I hadn’t seen on the surveillance camera that the market was protected by a formation and was as stable as a rock, I wouldn’t have gone…”

Fang Xing complained, then suddenly frowned: “Is there something wrong?”

He saw a scene through a scoping hummingbird drone in front of him.

It was a group of monks and warriors who were besieging a strange monster.

This monster is more than three meters long and looks like a red-haired tiger. It has bright and colorful patterns on its body and a layer of bright glow on its fur.

Even spells such as wind blades and fireballs cast by talismans… were all deflected when they hit it, leaving little damage.

“Are they…hunting monsters? Judging from their coordination, they seem quite skilled…”

Fang Xing took a closer look and found that there were five people, both men and women. The leader was an old man in a black robe. He occasionally used talismans and muttered to himself. He must be a cultivator.

Most of the others had amazing body movements, holding weapons of various colors, and their every move was accompanied by overwhelming power. They should be warriors.

At this time, the old man finally finished chanting the spell, stretched out his hand, and a light green wind blade appeared in the palm of his right hand.

A sharp aura immediately spread out, making the demon tiger a little alert.

“Good, big brother’s wind blade technique has become more and more proficient.”

A charming woman among the four great warriors immediately exclaimed in praise.

“go!”

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed, and the green wind blade flew out immediately, constantly absorbing bits of green spiritual light in the air, and instantly became more than one meter long, and the speed was incredible!

“Ouch!”

The demon tiger roared and tried to dodge, but was forced back by a hammer from a man who was wielding a huge iron hammer and whose body was as strong as an iron tower. It could only take the wind blade head-on.

Hiss!

The spiritual light on the demon tiger’s fur had become extremely dim in the previous round of attack, and it suddenly collapsed at this moment.

The wind blade cut through the demon tiger’s skin, tore its flesh and blood, and left a large wound on its right shoulder.

If the demon tiger had not dodged in mid-air, the wound would have been on its neck.

“good!”

Several warriors cheered, but the old man took a few steps back calmly, pasted a golden talisman on his body, and shouted: “Be careful of this beast’s counterattack…”

The injured beast is the most dangerous!
This also applies to monsters!

The demon tiger was covered in blood. It roared suddenly and opened its bloody mouth.

Strands of red light gathered together and turned into a huge fireball, exploding towards one place!

“Oh no, hide quickly!”

The five people were covered in dust, and then they saw the demon tiger fleeing along the gap created by the fireball without any hesitation!
“Damn it, chase it!”

A talisman in the old man’s hand burned, turning into a breeze, which was added to his legs. It was the “Wind Control Talisman”!
Several people hurriedly caught up. After all, they had been scouting for a long time and finally encountered a lone weak monster.

They have invested a lot in this monster beast. If this monster tiger runs away, everyone will be so depressed that they will vomit blood!

However, the next moment!
“Ah!”

A demon tiger roared in front of them, and it seemed full of pain!
“Stop!”

The old man quickly raised his right hand and asked the four sworn brothers and sisters to stop and move forward slowly.

After passing a bush, they saw the demon tiger lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, with a young man in a silver robe standing next to it.

“Everyone, are you here to hunt this demon tiger?”

Fang Xing, wearing silver clothes and holding a stick, smiled slightly and asked.

Ever since he met these five people, he decided to come over to meet them and inquire about the news in the market.

After all, the drone footage can only confirm that the market town has not been breached, but to find out what changes have taken place, you need to ask others.

Fang Xing naturally had to ask around to make sure there was no danger in the market before going in to spend money.

Otherwise… uh… the federal nutrient solution isn’t very good, but it’s barely adequate.

With the environment here, the progress of martial arts training will not be too slow, but…

“Exactly!”

The five people looked at each other, and the old man in black stepped out and said, “I am Chen Yi, and these are my four sworn brothers and sisters, Hua Feiyue, Chen Hongtian, and Meng Yi, Shen Yuxin and his wife… Thanks to the kindness of fellow Taoists in the market, we have the nickname ‘Cangshan Five Righteous Men’.”

This is actually a bit self-deprecating. After all, if you don’t have the skills, you may not dare to go out of the market to hunt monsters at this time.

The Five Heroes of Cangshan are still ants to the three major forces in the market town, but they are not unknown among the lower-level cultivators.

“It turns out that the Five Heroes of Cangshan are here in person, and they are polite to the stars below…”

Fang Xing smiled slightly, his eyes swept over the Five Heroes of Cangshan one by one, and bowed.

This time he planned to use his new identity to rent a house in the market town and establish another base, so he used his real appearance.

After all, when you’re together for a long time, any disguise will be easily seen through, so it’s better to show your true self.

Anyway, he has a clean background and will never get into any trouble, so he can run his business well.

Looking at the Five Heroes of Cangshan at this time, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Chen Yi is a Qi training cultivator and has many talismans. He should be the strongest among the five.

Hua Feiyue was wearing a peach-red dress and had charming eyes. She was about thirty years old and really looked like a peach.

Chen Hongtian is the burly man in black who wields a hammer. His face looks as if it was carved by a knife and an axe, and he has a shrewd and strong temperament.

Meng Yi was dressed in a green Confucian robe and had elegant manners, while Shen Yuxin next to him had the temperament of a beautiful girl from a small family, and the two of them looked very intimate.
