“Haha, as long as you can speak.”

Ye Chen did not care about the lack of clarity. The number of people in the wilderness was still rather scattered and the World Chat was filled with words.

But after a while, no one said a word.

He’d long since been bored out of his mind. Now he was better. At least he had someone to talk to and relieve his boredom. It would be even better when the Demon Master Kun Peng reached its Growth Stage.

“Woo-hoo…”

Seeing Ye Chen being so intimate with the Divine Phoenix, Kun Peng could not stand it anymore. It whimpered and rubbed its whale head against Ye Chen’s shoulder.

“Hahaha…”

Ye Chen laughed out loud at the jealousy between the two beasts. From now on, he would no longer be alone in the wilderness.

“Don’t make a scene, you two. I’ll give you some barbecue later!”

Since he was in a good mood today, Ye Chen decided to be extravagant and cook all the meat in his inventory.

With the two Divine Beasts around, there was no need to worry about not being able to eat it. This was especially so for the Kun Peng. At its prime, it could transform into the form of a Kun and devour the entire world.

…

World Chat.

“The Protection of the Wilderness will disappear at sunrise tomorrow. I’m very anxious now. A bunch of small mountains have settled around my tribe.”

“Mine too. Just this morning, a few Green Nether Wolves looked at my Mutated Rhinoceros Boar with tears on their lips.”

“The vast wilderness is indeed changing. When I went to hunt for beasts, there were many beasts taller than usual. I was so scared that I didn’t dare to go out.”

“Stop talking about this. Everyone, think of a way to ensure your survival.”

“What can we do? The beast’s arm is thicker than your body, how can you twist it…”

“Do you remember what the system voice said when we first came to the wilderness?”

“Considering what the system voice said, I have an idea. Don’t we have an area to chat in? The distance definitely won’t be too long. It’s definitely possible to form an alliance in each area!”

“Previous poster, don’t be so naive. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be sending yourself to death?”

“I’m not talented and my mutated beasts are about to reach their Growth Stage and their attack power is as high as 2000. I can barely survive in this desolate land filled with vicious birds and fierce beasts. I’ve killed a few vicious beasts and the taste isn’t bad. If any fellow in the same region is in trouble, feel free to come find me!”

“Gosh, Big Boss, while we wanted to survive, Big Boss directly pursued quality of life. Awesome!”

“Big boss, big boss, do you still need a pendant around your thigh? Please bring me.”

“I’m really envious. When will I be able to eat the meat of the beasts that I beat down?”

“Boss, bring me. I know all the positions!”

“….”

Ever since then, the world chat was filled with praises for this person’s awesomeness. It was extremely lively until someone said something that made them instantly fall silent.

“What do you think of this big shot compared to Ye Chen?”

“Ye Chen? He’s just an unscrupulous businessman. How can he compare Ye Chen to this big shot?”

“Big brother said that he will provide us with food for free when we reach his place. On the other hand, how can Blacky compete?”

“I agree with the person above. If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m hanging high, Scary Ye Chen would have wanted my pants.”

“Boss, wait for me. I just saw it. I’m near you.”

“Big brother, are you cold when you sleep at night? I’ll warm your bed!”

Ye Chen was roasting meat while watching the World Chat. He snorted at this person’s words.

He did not believe that such a saint existed in the vast wilderness.

A mutated beast with 2,000 Attack Power would be lucky if it could survive here. How many mutated beasts had it fought?

What’s more, he even provided it to the person who looked for him for free. This was even more nonsensical. He was just deceiving ignorant people. The rest was nothing.

He, Ye Chen, was not a saint. He would not remind others to pay an IQ tax for this trap. He still needed to rest up and hunt tomorrow.

Just as Ye Chen said, the guy who said he wanted to protect people for free was looking at those people who were chatting privately with him with a dark gaze.

“The bait is down. I wonder how many are coming.”

…

The next day.

“Let’s go, let the hunt begin!”

In order to build the tribe, Ye Chen had not gone out to kill wild beasts for many days.

His current life still needed to be improved. His goal was not to survive in the wilderness.

After saying that, Ye Chen got on the Kun Peng’s back. The Divine Phoenix’s eyes were filled with resentment. However, it had no choice as it was the main fighting force.

Screech!

Screech!

With two long cries, he flew towards the outer area. The birds that were flying above the river had long made way for him.

When the Immortal Phoenix came out of seclusion, it saw that a Kun Peng had appeared beside Ye Chen. Resentment had accumulated in its heart and it directly let out its anger into the flock of birds. Now, this group of thunderbirds had already been completely subdued by the Immortal Phoenix.

Today was the day when the protection of the vast wilderness would expire.

Ye Chen had two Divine Beasts to lead the way, so his safety was definitely not a problem. He still had the time to open the World Chat to see what was going on outside.

“It’s just f*cking ridiculous. When I woke up early today and went to the spring nearby to get some water to drink, I went back and saw my home become a huge pit.”

“SOS, SOS, SOS, help! I’m being chased by a turtle!”

“The great wastelands have completely changed. In the past, my strange beasts could still exchange a few moves with vicious beasts but this time, they were directly crushed and chased down.”

“It’s the same. This is ridiculous. Even if they meet ferocious beasts on the way, they will chase after them regardless of whether they have grudges or not.”

“I’m in the same situation. The rabbit that was chased away by me yesterday was sent me flying with a kick today.”

“Outrageous! Outrageous!”

“Which big shot came to save me? I will devote my life to you. I know everything!”

“….”

Ye Chen fell into deep thought as he watched the World Chat cry.

Just now, the Divine Phoenix had also finished off several low level wild beasts. According to his observations, today’s vicious beasts were indeed a bit different. Whether it was in terms of attack power or speed, they were much faster than before.

Many ferocious beasts saw Ye Chen and their eyes turned red instantly. They ignored the Divine Phoenix and Kun Peng beside him and pounced on him.

With the two Divine Beasts around, nothing unexpected happened. Many more materials appeared in Ye Chen’s space.

Seeing this scene, a terrifying thought surfaced in Ye Chen’s mind. The so-called Protection of the Wilderness did not seem to directly apply to people.

Instead, it was suppressing the ferocious beasts in all aspects, causing many beasts with some intelligence to not come out.

Now that the suppression had disappeared, they came out to look for the culprit. That was why ferocious beasts and fierce birds would turn red when they saw people. They would beat them up regardless of the consequences.

After this thought was planted in his mind, Ye Chen became more and more convinced of his thought.
