Conquer the game world

Chapter 21 Inside the Barrier (2)

Regardless, after confirming that there was no immediate danger in the surroundings, Ye Feng did not let his guard down. He felt like he was in a large dungeon, where one wrong move could mean certain death.

With a thought, many small animals appeared around Ye Feng, including rabbits, goats, and birds, numbering in the dozens.

At first glance, these animals seem no different from ordinary animals, but upon closer inspection, there are some differences. Their eyes are lifeless, with gray pupils and black circles around them, exuding a sense of death.

In fact, these animals were originally dead. They were summoned by Ye Feng using his necromancer skills and were given the soul of the ghost mist he had obtained earlier. So now, apart from their bodies, the entire soul of these animals is controlled by Ye Feng.

Although a necromancer could normally summon a skeleton-shaped creature, Ye Feng felt that it looked rather terrifying. He hadn't felt anything when sitting in front of the computer before, but seeing it in front of him in person still made him feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Ye Feng is a professional cook in the Star Dust Sect, so finding some animal carcasses with flesh and blood is not difficult. However, recently when he takes these animals, he lies and says that Shui Ying wants to eat them. I guess the other guys in the kitchen are already spreading rumors behind Shui Ying's back that she has a huge appetite.

Of course, Ye Feng added the soul of Ghost Mist when summoning these guys, otherwise they would just be uncontrollable, lifeless things that only copy each other in battle.

Using these rabbits, goats, and other animals to fight is obviously pointless, but now that they have been infused with souls, it's different. They are under Ye Feng's control, and Ye Feng can see what these animals can see. In this uncertain place, with the surrounding situation uncertain, these things are the artifacts that clear the way.

Commanding them to scatter and explore, Ye Feng began to observe the mountains on both sides. Of course, the most urgent task was to find a hiding place. Although Ye Feng could use stealth, it couldn't be used for long.

Therefore, finding a hiding place is very important. It is best to hide yourself first, then use these undead animals to scout out the situation, and only make a move when the situation is stable. Ye Feng is very clear about the saying that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. In the past, when playing games in groups, those who were reckless died the fastest.

Now, having to stay in this place for seven days, facing an enemy force of over a hundred people, temporarily concealing oneself is the best strategy.

After searching for a while, Ye Feng chose a protruding platform in the center of a nearby mountain range and used his levitation technique to fly onto the platform.

He landed on the platform. The wall behind the platform was somewhat recessed, making it much easier to create a cave for someone to enter. Taking out a giant axe, Ye Feng quickly dug a hole in the wall. Of course, when hiding inside, he didn't forget to block the entrance and conceal it. He even dismantled the platform at the entrance that a person could stand on, to ensure that no one would land there and accidentally discover him.

Hiding inside the cave was a bit stifling, and the exit was blocked, with only a sliver of light shining through the cracks, which made Ye Feng feel somewhat annoyed.

Forget it, let's just bear with it. There's still a long way to go. Instead of collecting any useful materials now, it's better to just kill and rob later. No matter how much treasure we have, we need to be able to keep it for ourselves first.

Stopping his thoughts, Ye Feng began to calm his mind and sense what the undead animals he had released were observing. After all, he had released dozens at a time, and even with shared vision, they couldn't see everything at once; he had to concentrate fully and observe carefully.

Not long after Ye Feng went into hiding, the people from the Stardust Sect and the Lion Sect who had entered started making their own moves. Some Stardust Sect disciples and Lion Sect disciples started fighting as soon as they entered. Others from the Stardust Sect, who were more cunning, chose to hide like Ye Feng.

Shi Lei was among those who started fighting as soon as he entered. It was unclear whether he was unlucky or incredibly lucky, but when he came in, he found himself in the same place as the guy from Elder Wan's faction who had provoked him earlier, almost leading to a fight.

As a result, the two sides naturally got into a fight again after a disagreement. It's probably only possible for these two to start fighting as soon as they enter the sect, since they are nominally teammates and there doesn't seem to be any conflict of interest between them at the moment.

Fortunately, neither of them consciously used weapons during the fight, presumably because they were both hesitant to attack a fellow disciple and were more interested in simply teaching each other a lesson.

However, the fight between the two was quickly stopped because a member of the Lion Clan appeared in front of them.

This guy from the Lion Faction was really unlucky. He was alone, only at the fourth level of the Spirit Light realm, when he appeared in front of Shi Lei, who was also at the fourth level of the Spirit Light realm but had amazing combat power, and another guy who was a real fifth level of the Spirit Light realm.

Although the two were fighting, neither had actually used weapons or any truly dangerous moves, so neither of them sustained any injuries. And just like that, this Lion Clan member appeared before these two hot-tempered individuals. It was truly a tragedy.

Indeed, this guy was a tragic figure; his appearance clearly provided an outlet for Shi Lei and his companion's anger. Without hesitation, Shi Lei drew his giant axe and charged forward.

Another member of the Stardust Sect was not to be outdone, drawing his weapon and quickly giving chase. It seemed he wasn't willing to fall behind Shi Lei in taking down this guy. The poor Lion Sect member didn't even have time to say a word before being surrounded and brutally beaten. Although he tried his best to buy time, his inferior strength prevented him from holding out for long, and he was ultimately cleaved in two by the enraged Shi Lei, weapon and all.

Having successfully killed a true enemy, the two men seemed to have vented their anger. Looking at each other, neither showed any intention of fighting again.

"See how powerful I am now, kid? Don't mess with me again, or I'll chop you in half." Shi Lei felt that even though he wasn't going to fight, he still couldn't back down in terms of words.

"What? You think you could have gotten away with this so easily if your brother hadn't been helping you? The main credit goes to you, you know?" This Stardust Sect guy retorted, not to be outdone.

"What? You're not convinced? Come and have another go!"

"Come on then, I'm not afraid of you, big guy."

However, the two sides were unable to fight again because the situation suddenly changed. Shortly after the Lion Clan member was killed, more than a dozen Lion Clan members suddenly appeared in front of them, and one of them was a martial artist at the ninth level of the Spirit Light Realm.

Faced with this situation, the two were clearly no match for the enemy, so they chose to run away without hesitation. From their earlier triumphant killing of a guy to being chased, the situation had changed too quickly.

Actually, the two of them were really unlucky. They happened to be at the place where these dozen or so people had agreed to meet. The guy from the Lion Faction was also one of the members who came to the meeting, but he was even more unlucky. He was the first one to arrive and encountered two ungrateful people.

Moreover, the Lion Clan member didn't understand his place. Although he was a fourth-level Spirit Light martial artist and knew he was no match for the two, he still felt he could hold out against them for a while. That's why he didn't choose to run away but instead engaged in a prolonged fight, thinking he could hold off the two until they arrived and he could turn the tables.

Unexpectedly, this guy misjudged the two's fighting strength and accidentally got himself killed.

However, the two idiots didn't choose to leave immediately after killing the person, which is why they ran right into the Lion Faction.

At this moment, Shi Lei and his companion were being chased by more than ten people. Apart from the one who seemed to be the leader, a ninth-level Spirit Light martial artist, the other martial artist was still standing still.

At this moment, Shi Lei, who was fleeing, suddenly turned around and swung his giant axe to attack backward. The pursuers obviously did not expect that this guy would have a plan to turn around and fight back. They were not prepared and hurriedly took out their weapons to defend themselves.

As a result, the people at the front were forced back a few steps by the attack. There was nothing they could do; Shi Lei's giant axe had too wide an attack range, and the people at the front were attacked at the same time but were bounced away by Shi Lei's immense force.

"Split up!" Shi Lei shouted. Now the two of them had a fork in the road. Shi Lei used an attack to block the pursuing people and quickly dodged to continue running down one of the roads.

Meanwhile, another disciple of the Stardust Sect quickly ran towards another path, shouting as he left, "Good brother, I'll remember you!"

The two quickly ran a distance away. The pursuers were caught off guard when they saw the two running in different directions, so they quickly divided up and prepared to pursue them in two groups.

"A bunch of trash, go after that fifth-tier kid, I'll take care of this big guy." Just as the group was about to split up to pursue, the ninth-tier Spirit Light martial artist caught up and shouted at them.

The others naturally dared not have any complaints. The ninth-level senior brother was the team leader for this operation. In fact, there were ten such teams, which together made up the more than one hundred members of the Lion Sect who entered this time. Each team was led by a ninth-level Spirit Light martial artist.

Upon receiving the order, no one dared to hesitate. They all turned around and chased after the guy from the Star Dust Sect who was at the fifth level of the Spirit Light Realm. In their eyes, Shi Lei was definitely going to die since he was being chased by his captain.

The guy running ahead glanced back and saw that all the pursuers had abandoned Shi Lei and were heading his way. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, what's going on? Is it because I'm too handsome that I attract hatred?!"

However, if he knew the true situation on Shi Lei's side, he would probably think he was actually quite lucky...
