The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

After getting what he wanted, Ji Chen didn't make things difficult for the Lin family members; he simply let half of them die to quell his anger.

and.

"As for who lives and who dies among you, you can decide for yourselves. I am a beast with a conscience and I don't like to deprive others of their choices."

a bolt from the blue.

The Lin family members, who thought they would be satisfied after obtaining the secret weapon, were completely dumbfounded.

"You...you said you'd let us go if we satisfied you? Why are you going back on your word?"

snort!

After a thunderous groan, the Lin family members, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground, finally came to their senses.

Rather than getting entangled with this beast king who is so powerful that he is not even afraid of nuclear bombs, let's first consider who should die for the greater good.

Above ground and underground.

The Lin family members, who were communicating via wireless earphones, suddenly fell silent.

Everyone seemed to sense Ji Chen's sinister intentions.

They decide for themselves, and half of them die.

The combination of these two words instantly brought a chilling cruelty, making everyone feel a suffocating pressure.

In a short time, the Lin family fell apart.

After the Lin family members who were negotiating on the ground returned to the underground base, the conflict broke out almost instantly.

Ji Chen closed his eyes, feeling the sudden gunshots from underground and the fading life force.

Half an hour later, the Lin family members, whose numbers had dwindled by 30%, ceased fighting.

Then, after ten minutes of negotiation, the conflict broke out again, and this time it was even more violent.

One life after another slipped away like grass, and soon the death toll quickly surpassed the half limit set by Ji Chen.

However, the underground conflict showed no signs of stopping until only 20% of the survivors in the underground base remained, at which point the fighting gradually subsided.

As night fell, when the last surviving members of the Lin family returned to the surface, each of their faces bore the weariness of surviving a catastrophe, as well as a deeper, almost tangible, sinister ruthlessness.

Their gazes toward Ji Chen were filled with hatred, but even more so with fear.

Their patriarch sacrificed himself in this battle, their relatives and friends were killed by their own family, and the once-great Lin family was wiped out under Ji Chen's coercion.

"Alright, it seems you've met my requirements to a high standard. In that case, I won't make things difficult for you."

Ji Chen didn't care about the resentment in these people's hearts. He simply said:

"Submit to me and build me an electromagnetic field that can contain me. This is the condition for your eventual survival."

. . . . . .

Three days later, Ji Chen had the Lin family light a mushroom bomb for him to liven things up.

For Ji Chen, a nuclear bomb is undoubtedly a good thing; its powerful destructive force can hone his adaptability.

The residual nuclear radiation after the outbreak can also be reused as a resource, used to upgrade skill levels.

After using up the Lin family's nuclear weapons, Ji Chen looked at the electromagnetic field that had only recently begun construction and decided not to linger there.

Furthermore, Ji Chen learned about the existence of the mysterious person from the surviving members of the Lin family, making him even less inclined to stay there any longer.

"Mysterious man, hehehe, what's your relationship with Ye Xiao?"

The familiar aura, coupled with the intense malice directed at him, meant that the mysterious man's identity was essentially revealed, awaiting only final confirmation.

Ji Chen smiled slightly, his massive figure stepping over a series of spiderweb-like deep pits, leading the chimpanzee eastward.

Ten thousand meters away, Ye Xiao stood atop the giant tree, his face grim.

"The Lin family, is that all? What a bunch of useless trash!"

"Furthermore, what is that blue behemoth? Why do I have absolutely no recollection of it?"

A beast king that can withstand multiple nuclear bombs without dying, and seemingly also capable of absorbing the power of nuclear bombs, should, in any case, have a place in the future.

Ye Xiao felt deeply uneasy that such a mutated beast was not under his control.

"Could this be another Chu Junhui-like figure?"

He then thought of the chimpanzee following behind the blue behemoth, seemingly engaged in combat with Chu Junhui, and his expression grew even more grim.

For some reason, he seemed to see an invisible giant net enveloping him, and he was like a flying insect that could not escape the net no matter how hard he struggled.

"No, no! I am Ye Xiao, who can be reborn from the future again and again. I am a born protagonist. How can my story end like this?!"

Despite saying that, Ye Xiao still felt guilty from time to time, worrying that his previous rebirth might have been his only chance in this life.

He still wouldn't dare to recklessly throw his life away.

Watching the two giant beasts gradually disappear into the distance, Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and calmed down, deciding not to go directly to the Lin family base to gather intelligence.

Two days later, leaving D City behind, Ji Chen, who had been lying in wait nearby, returned to D City, cursing and swearing.

Ji Chen was naturally in a bad mood because he could smell the familiar scent lingering in the area but still couldn't catch the little mouse.

But just as his main body returned to D City, his new, smaller Yoda received some good news.

After a series of twists and turns, Ji Chen caught a whiff of Ye Xiao's scent on the road.

Moreover, it's very new.

The river surface suddenly swelled, and turbid waves spread out in all directions.

The next moment, Ji Chen's enormous head, covered in rugged carapace, burst out of the water, creating a waterfall-like curtain of water.

Those vertical pupils slowly opened in the misty air, their star-like gaze piercing the night sky and locking onto a distant coordinate.

Ji Chen gently sniffed the cool, damp air under the night sky, grasping the invisible thread composed of scents.

He quietly emerged from the river, layers of water gliding over his sharp sword armor, bringing a refreshing sensation.

"Heh, I caught you after all."

His mood brightened.

. . . . . .

"If I remember correctly, this valley will be the territory of the Wind Eagle Clan in the future."

Night fell like ink spilled across the valley, thick fog obscuring the dark mountain walls on both sides, with only a few sparse stars letting through a faint light.

A strong wind swept through the valley, and Ye Xiao lightly landed on a green leaf, gazing intently into the valley.

"But that's the future. Right now, this place is still in the stage where the Wind Eagle King has just evolved into a fourth-tier creature and its race has not yet multiplied."

He carefully searched for the figure of the Wind Eagle King.

More precisely, they came to find the whereabouts of the Wind Soul Stone, which was created by the energy released from the evolution of the Wind Eagle King.

There's only the Wind Eagle King here now, and the number of Wind Soul Stones is pitifully small; he needs to search carefully to find them.

As for the reason for seeking the Wind Soul Stone...

He possesses a special ability that allows him to enhance his own power by absorbing super-powerful materials of the same attribute through a special method.

With the added benefit of future memories and experience, he had already mastered all the secret martial arts he had practiced before, and his superpower had reached a bottleneck, reaching the third-tier limit.

It has reached the point where it has no choice but to rely on external forces to break through the limits and evolve to the fourth tier.

"Wind Soul Stone, there's still a fourth tier left. I, Ye Xiao, am coming."

Ye Xiao quietly took out his specially made animal food, which he had painstakingly prepared using materials he had collected over this period of time. It was bait that had a fatal attraction to the wind eagles.

They were then carefully tied to more than a dozen captured mutated birds, and then released one by one.

As he watched the panicked flock of birds disappear into the sky, a triumphant smile crept onto his lips.

Behind him, Ji Chen, who had quietly crept up to this spot, watched as a magnificent bird, its entire body cyan, its skin shimmering with a terrifying luster, and its wingspan reaching tens of meters, soared past. A smile also appeared on Ji Chen's lips.
