Monster Paradise

Time flew by and another three days passed.

Only half of the 30-day exploration period remained.

Lin Huang spent three days exploring the entire first level of the abyssal zone. He killed over 3,000 monsters.

In reality, he was not focused on hunting monsters this time. Instead, he was focused more on probing explorers. He was only conveniently killing local monsters while doing that.

He had explored every corner of the first level of the abyssal zone throughout these three days. He had found a total of nine minor dao-level explorers. They were basically the leaders of most of the minor dao-level powerhouses.

Initially, Lin Huang thought that Old Wang from Royal would be on this level too. However, he did not find him throughout his period of exploration.

Although he was not sure if they were skilled at concealing themselves or that none of those nine were the Raiders’ spies, Lin Huang thought it was unnecessary for him to continue wasting time here after the fruitless three-day observation period.

Before dawn on the fourth day, he headed over to the second level of the abyssal zone.

As soon as he entered, he activated his long-distance ocular skill again and probed his surroundings.

The result was similar to what he expected.

All of the monsters on this level had the combat strength of major dao-level powerhouses. The number of Dao seals they had mastered was basically between 100,000 to 200,000.

Lin Huang chose a direction casually and began planning his hunting and probing route.

He killed over 1,200 monsters on the first day.

He had also discovered four explorers. They were the major dao-level powerhouses from the seven organizations.

On the second day, he killed over 1,300 monsters.

He discovered five more explorers. Among them, four of them were at major dao-level. The fifth person was the leader of Snow Kingdom’s minor dao-level powerhouses, Shang Yang.

On the third day, Lin Huang had explored the entire second level and killed over 1,100 monsters.

He discovered another four explorers. Among the four of them, the only minor dao-level powerhouse was a person he was familiar with—Wang Xuanan from Royal.

Lin Huang thought that it made sense for Old Wang and Shang Yang to be here.

The two of them actually were already halfway into major dao-level.

Lin Huang could sense that the number of Dao seals the two of them mastered was not the rumored 100,000. Instead, they had reached the limit of minor dao-level, 180,000 Dao seals. They were at the edge of a breakthrough.

They were only one step away from breaking the threshold and achieving major dao-level.

Their objective of coming to this level was clear.

They wanted to force themselves to break through by immersing themselves amidst the pressure of the major dao-level monsters here.

Since they had insufficient potential, they wanted to squeeze out all of their potential through a life-and-death crisis.

Though it was dangerous, it was theoretically possible.

In reality, since the beginning of time, there were many people who had indeed forced themselves to achieve something impossible through this method.

Lin Huang disagreed with Old Wang’s actions, but he understood why he did so.

He also knew that, for some reason, Old Wang was close to the end of his life.

If he did not break through to major dao-level, he would die soon.

To him, the opening of the mystic territory this time was undoubtedly a chance to fight for his life.

He could only wait for death if he did not fight for his life. He chose to go all out without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Shang Yang’s condition was much better than Old Wang.

He should still have the time and the chance to break through.

Perhaps he thought it was a great opportunity when the mystic territory opened this time and wanted to seize the opportunity to try breaking through.

Naturally, it would be good news if he made it. If not, he would try again next time.

Lin Huang roughly speculated that Old Wang was here this time with the intention of confronting the danger of death himself and fighting to live, while Shang Yang most probably had the mentality of testing himself.

He admired their courage.

However, Lin Huang did not exclude the two of them from his ocular skill marking this time. Instead, he marked all 13 explorers.

Three days soon passed by.

None of the 13 did anything out of the ordinary.

Lin Huang thought for a long time and decided to stay for another day to observe.

There were plentiful monsters in this level anyway. There was no need for him to rush to the next level.

Throughout these three days, he focused more on Old Wang.

It was not that he suspected that something was going on with him, but rather that he was the clumsiest among the 13 explorers.

Throughout the three days, Old Wang challenged over ten monsters, but failed to kill all of them.

Lin Huang could tell that he specialized in ocular skills. Compared to that, his close combat ability and long distance attack ability were really mediocre. Lin Huang became nervous whenever he watched.

His ocular skill was indeed powerful. He could even temporarily control monsters that had just been elevated to major dao-level to make them fall into an illusion when he was only at minor dao-level.

The thing was that the strength of his God’s soul was insufficient. Each control attempt could only last for a short moment.

His ocular skill attack could wound major dao-level monsters too.

However, due to the restriction of the strength of his God’s soul, the harm done to those monsters was rather minimal.

This caused the major dao-level monsters that he challenged to struggle free of his illusion in the end and chase after him.

Fortunately, he could use his illusion to control those monsters again and escape in one piece.

“His ocular skill inheritance is actually pretty powerful. It’s a pity that it’s restricted due to his innate talent and potential,” Lin Huang could not help but exclaim after observing him for three days.

However, throughout these three days of observation, he now admired Old Wang.

This old man really would not give up. His hair would be disheveled from being chased after by monsters. Nevertheless, he would only catch his breath for a little bit after escaping and then begin his next search for prey instantly.

He had powerful ocular skill probing ability that allowed him to accurately avoid all the monsters that had mastered over 120,000 Dao seals. He could also locate monsters with less than 120,000 Dao seals that were closest to him accurately.

Even if he was being chased after by monsters, he always successfully controlled them in the end and escaped.

Throughout these three days, Lin Huang could truly feel Old Wang’s desire to achieve major dao-level to prolong his life.

…

At approximately 2 am on the fourth day, Wang Xuanan locked onto a monster that was within his hunting parameters again.

He adjusted his condition a little bit and headed over to the route that he had planned immediately.

He was elated when he saw the monster with his ocular skill. It was an Autarch.

Autarchs were monsters with powerful physical bodies. They were proficient in close combat and did not like defense.

However, they had a weakness, whereby they had frail God’s souls.

They might be killed instantly if they ran into an opponent with a powerful God’s soul.

Meanwhile, most of Wang Xuanan’s ocular skills were activated using his God’s soul.

Therefore, he had the most confidence in this hunt compared to any of the prior hunts.

He even had the feeling that he might be able to break through to major dao-level at once after this hunt was successful.

However, what he did not know was that Lin Huang, who was millions of kilometers away, was frowning lightly at the moment..
