Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump

Setting off again, I am now facing hardships alone, and the future is uncertain.

Xu Yunxin, however, did not put himself into the role of Jing Ke.

His decision to do this was made after careful consideration.

Two barbarian squads have been wiped out in the southeast sector, and three more are expected to be lost.

There is an extremely low probability that one of the three squads is a Foundation Establishment expert among the barbarians.

Because if this Foundation Establishment expert really was in the Southeast sector, Xiao Ze Ma Li wouldn't dare to make an exception and run so far ahead on his own.

Of course, there is also a very slight possibility.

But what can you do without taking risks?

Xu Yunxin opened the system, glanced at the number of Origin Points, and immediately added ninety-nine white Origin Points to the Mist and Clouds.

[Skill: Mist Breathing and Cloud Swallowing upgraded to LV1, Moon Essence Storage greatly increased.]

After the "Exhaling Mist and Swallowing Clouds" technique was upgraded to level one, the crescent moon hanging in Xu Yunxin's dantian suddenly swelled and instantly became a full moon.

Although this full moon is still very thin, it already contains enough lunar essence.

Xu Yunxin opened his mouth and exhaled, and a thin mist enveloped his entire body, causing him to disappear into thin air.

"Hiss!"

When Xiaoqing saw this, her big eyes widened in surprise.

It didn't see the young master inhaling and exhaling moonlight, so how come he suddenly became so good at it?

After Yuehua covered her body, Xu Yunxin tried Tengyun again.

However, the moonlight surrounding him was too thin to lift him up.

The moonlight that Xu Yunxin exhaled was of the same kind and origin as Xiaoqing's, so the invisibility effect was ineffective against Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing could clearly see Xu Yunxin's movements.

Seeing him testing his cloud-flying ability, Xiao Qing said, "Hiss~ Young Master, you need thick fog to fly, hiss~"

Xu Yunxin felt a slight regret, but it was good enough.

Next, Xu Yunxin explained to Xiaoqing that it should head south from the due east direction, while he would head south from the west.

The man and the snake kept their distance, relying solely on their spiritual connection to sense their location and exchange messages, as they searched from north to south towards the outskirts of the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland".

They didn't intend to run into the barbarian army in this way.

Instead, they tried every means to drive all the monsters they saw in the same direction and capture them all that they could.

Xiao Qing is better at driving away demonic beasts. It is now a mid-level second-tier demonic beast and can drive away first-tier demonic beasts with its aura alone.

Xiao Qing simply sucked up the easy-to-catch first-tier demonic beasts and placed them on the cloud shelf next to her.

Once these first-tier demonic beasts were on the cloud platform, they trembled with fear and dared not run away.

Xu Yunxin, on the other hand, came up with a clumsy solution.

Once he spotted a monster, he would sneak up on it using stealth, knock it unconscious, and then use earthen magic to create a rope, dragging it along as they headed south.

The two, one human and one snake, searched a wide area, doing their utmost to capture and drive away the monsters.

We were busy for most of the day before we finally got together again.

Not counting those that were chased away, Xu Yunxin caught more than sixty "yellow sand lizards" all by himself.

Xiaoqing is much more impressive; nearly two hundred of them were crammed onto its cloud mount alone!

It wasn't that Xiaoqing could only catch so many, but rather that the weight of these two hundred-plus demonic beasts was almost exceeding the limits that her cloud-riding could bear.

With Xiao Qing here, the captured "Yellow Sand Lizards" and some other first-tier demonic beasts did not dare to act recklessly and all obediently lay on the ground.

Then the man and the snake waited among the monsters, waiting for the barbarian to come to them!

In the southeastern inner layer of the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland," Okabayashi Saeko, who had just completed a blood sacrifice, frowned as she reaffirmed the god's instructions.

Is there a large amount of blood food coming from that direction?

But that's the hunting grounds of "Shushi-kun".

Despite the god's apparent desire, Okabayashi Saneko did not want to break the rules.

......

On the other side, Yamamoto Misao received the same instructions, but without any hesitation, he immediately ordered a change of direction, and the whole team accelerated toward the target.

......

Hidefumi Hanzawa also received divine inspiration. He was overjoyed, never expecting to pick up such a big prize so early in the hunt!

......

At noon the next day, Okabayashi Saeko paced back and forth restlessly.

Since they didn't heed God's instructions to change direction, they've been busy all morning and have only managed to catch three monsters, a number more than ten times less than yesterday.

If this continues, he won't be able to harvest enough blood food, let alone feed his own gods!

"Shushi-kun, I'm so sorry!"

Okabayashi Saneko silently muttered a sentence to herself, and immediately ordered the team to change direction and head towards the hunting area under Hanzawa Hidefumi's jurisdiction.

If you zoom out, you can see that all three barbarian squads are moving in the same direction.

This direction is where Xu Yunxin and Xiao Qing restrained the demon beasts and waited for them to come to them.

Xu Yunxin and Xiaoqing have been waiting here for almost two days.

Over the past two days, Xu Yunxin has continued to capture monsters.

Within two days, they captured more than forty more, basically clearing out all the monsters within a radius of dozens of miles, and driving away those they couldn't catch.

More than three hundred first-tier demonic beasts were already getting out of Xiao Qing's control.

But this didn't stump Xu Yunxin. Before each hunt for monsters, he would stealthily approach and knock out those troublemakers.

Without these troublemakers causing chaos, the monsters managed to maintain order, avoiding fighting and scattering among themselves.

Although I've been busy these past two days and it's tiring, the intensity of the work is far less than that of a magic duel.

After two days of rest, both the person and the snake had recovered to their full potential and were back to their optimal state.

After the initial excitement wore off, Xiaoqing got bored. It would randomly pick up a monster, suck it up, and put it down from time to time, playing by itself.

As dusk approached, Xu Yunxin, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly had a sudden urge to get up and look south.

Looking into the distance, a group of barbarians appeared on the horizon and were rushing towards them at high speed.

"It's finally here!"

Xu Yunxin breathed a sigh of relief. He asked Xiaoqing to lower the cloud frame and silently estimated the distance.

Suddenly, Xu Yunxin saw another group of barbarians appear behind the first group!

"Good! All that effort wasn't for nothing, a double victory!"

The first group of barbarians arrived very quickly; they had clearly already spotted the horde of monsters gathered in the open space ahead.

"By the gods above! How can so many demonic beasts have gathered here!"

Yamamoto Misao looked overjoyed. He was planning how to devour all the monsters without missing a single one when he suddenly frowned and turned around.

"What a nuisance, how did they get here so quickly!"

The person who arrived was none other than Hidefumi Hanzawa, who was in charge of this area.

Hanzawa Hidefumi also saw Yamamoto Misao and questioned him loudly from afar.

"My lord! This is my hunting ground, how dare you break the rules!"

Yamamoto Misao snorted but didn't answer. He turned around, raised his arm, and shouted, "Kill the chicken!"

At Yamamoto Misao's command, his "archer foot soldiers" charged forward with howls, ready to be the first to hunt down the monsters.

Seeing that Yamamoto Misao lacked martial ethics, Hanzawa Hidefumi angrily cursed and hurriedly ordered his foot soldiers to launch a full-scale attack to seize the monster's blood.
