After confirming that the Blade Beast could kill Stone Spirit Beasts in an instant, Chen Yue began to hunt Prime Beasts on a large scale.

  Outside a hidden valley near the Red Stone Plain, the Frozen Rabbit was hopping ahead, followed by a large group of Stone Spirit Beasts, bustling with a total number of seventy to eighty.

  The Frozen Rabbit was running away very carefully. It couldn't run out of their sight, nor could it run into their attack range.

  With seventy to eighty Stone Spirit Beasts, just one salvo of their attacks could cover all the places where the Frozen Rabbit could dodge and kill it in an instant.

  The whole journey was extremely thrilling.

  From time to time, several Stone Spirit Beasts would throw several huge stones, which landed around the Frozen Rabbit, almost hitting it. The attacks of second-grade Prime Beasts were already quite powerful. Each huge stone that fell would smash out a big pit. If it was hit directly, perhaps just two hits would be enough to kill the Frozen Rabbit.

  This scene made Chen Yue and Meteorite Crystal, who were standing far above the valley, extremely nervous. Especially Meteorite Crystal, at first, she didn't dare to open her eyes to watch at all. She only felt relieved when she saw that the Frozen Rabbit was okay for a long time.

  "Heehee, Sister Ice is getting stronger and stronger. These big guys can't hurt her at all now," Meteorite Crystal said excitedly when she saw another scattered wave of stones fall far away from the Frozen Rabbit and smash out several big pits.

  Chen Yue smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

  Using familiars to lure enemies was a common tactic among apostles, especially in dangerous areas where low-level Prime Beasts gathered in groups. Moreover, Prime Beasts wouldn't go too far when provoked by familiars. However, if humans appeared, it might attract all the nearby Prime Beasts to come out and fight to the death.

  No apostle would be stupid enough to take risks himself. What's more, even with the protection of various powerful props, their own combat effectiveness was far from enough. Although the life force constantly nourished the body and could enhance the body's foundation, it didn't have much destructive power. Once trapped in a group of Prime Beasts, even just first-grade Prime Beasts could doom them.

  Anyway, familiars wouldn't really die. Even if they were killed, they would only lose their levels and compatibility. However, in the Trial Ground, in an environment similar to the Spirit Realm, it was easy to cultivate the compatibility to the level where they could command familiars to fight. Therefore, they didn't have many scruples.

  Even someone as powerful as Chen Yue, together with the Blade Beast that could kill in an instant, was far from being able to run amok in dangerous areas. There were quite a number of Prime Beasts like the Stone Spirit Beasts that had long-range attack abilities. Once their numbers increased, after several rounds of covering salvos, with Chen Yue's body that had undergone three transformations, he would be doomed immediately.

  Therefore, Chen Yue could only let the Frozen Rabbit lure the enemies, but he paid great attention to safety. His compatibility with the Frozen Rabbit was already above "intimacy". If it died once, the loss would be too great. After all, after reaching the "familiarity" level, even in the Trial Ground, it would be extremely difficult to improve the compatibility again.

  Each time, he seized the opportunity to lure the groups of Stone Spirit Beasts wandering on the periphery and never went deep into the Red Stone Plain. Moreover, he would never lure groups of Prime Beasts with a number exceeding one hundred.

  Even so, Chen Yue was still not at ease. At the beginning, he always kept a distance from the Frozen Rabbit that allowed him to take it back into the subspace at any time.

  The performance of the Frozen Rabbit was also quite impressive. At the beginning, facing the attacks of a large group of Stone Spirit Beasts, it still seemed to be in great danger. However, it soon found the trick. It always kept changing directions, constantly switching inside and outside the attack range of the Stone Spirit Beasts. Not only did it make the number of Stone Spirit Beasts that could attack simultaneously less than ten, but it also successfully kept provoking their anger, making them lose their minds and follow all the way.

  And when it absorbed a large amount of Life Essence and successfully advanced to two-star and second-level, it became even safer.

  "It's almost time. I should go down," Chen Yue said to Meteorite Crystal with a raised eyebrow as he watched the group of Stone Spirit Beasts being lured into the valley.

  Next, there would be a fierce battle, and the little guy was not suitable to stay outside anymore.

  After giving a light "Hmm", Meteorite Crystal slipped back into the subspace.

  At the same time, Chen Yue slid down from the top of the valley.

  Inside the valley, the Stone Spirit Beasts that had been lured in were almost in chaos.

  Although they looked like stone men and didn't have a high level of intelligence, the Stone Spirit Beasts were still intelligent creatures after all. Even though they were provoked by the Frozen Rabbit and had their anger burning and their judgment impaired, they still knew the truth about life and death.

  Inside the valley, there were countless bones densely packed, and it was impossible to count the specific number. Most of them belonged to Stone Spirit Beasts. It was hard to imagine how many Stone Spirit Beasts had been killed here.

  After entering the valley, the Frozen Rabbit took advantage of its small size, turned around a few times, and disappeared from sight.

  However, this group of Stone Spirit Beasts didn't care anymore.

  Seeing the countless bones in front of them, their expressions were like being doused with a basin of cold water from head to toe, and they felt icy cold all over.

  The first feeling was anger, the kind of anger that wanted to grind the hunters to ashes. But then came fear, fear that could almost freeze the soul.

  Just at this moment, Chen Yue descended from the sky.

  At this time, the group of Stone Spirit Beasts was in chaos. A small number of Stone Spirit Beasts rushed madly towards the outside of the valley. Less than two-thirds of the Stone Spirit Beasts remained in place. Among them, only half of them noticed Chen Yue at the first time.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  Seeing the appearance of the human enemy, the Stone Spirit Beasts that reacted immediately threw the huge stones in their hands. However, how could such disorderly attacks hurt Chen Yue? He kicked hard on the mountain wall and immediately flew out like an arrow leaving the bowstring, avoiding this wave of attacks. Before they launched the second attack, the Blade Beast slashed across the bodies of these dozen or so Stone Spirit Beasts.

  Without exception, they were all cut in half and died on the spot.

  After staying in place for a moment, Chen Yue's figure was immediately covered by huge stones.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The soil was flying everywhere, and big pits were smashed out on the ground, but Chen Yue's figure disappeared.

  Just when the remaining Stone Spirit Beasts were looking around blankly, a figure rushed over from the side, passing over a dozen or so Stone Spirit Beasts that were standing relatively close at lightning speed.

  Without having a chance to let out a single scream, these Stone Spirit Beasts were all cut into two halves.

  The same process continued. The area inside the valley was narrow, and it was easy to attack companions, so these Stone Spirit Beasts were a bit more cautious when they attacked, and it was even more impossible for them to hit Chen Yue.

  In less than a quarter of an hour, all the Stone Spirit Beasts remaining in the valley had been killed.

  "Sure enough, being able to kill in an instant is the key," Chen Yue raised his eyebrow with a bit of relief as he looked at the dozens of additional Stone Spirit Beast corpses in the valley. If the Blade Beast hadn't been unsealed, if he really had to face this large group of Stone Spirit Beasts and couldn't kill them with one blow, the number of Stone Spirit Beasts wouldn't decrease at all. In the end, he would only end up exhausted and dead.

  However, after being able to kill in an instant, everything was different.

  During this period of time, Chen Yue hadn't returned to the Trial City at all. Anyway, with the Glassy Bead, he didn't need to be afraid of getting into dangerous situations. Moreover, he wasn't sure about the attitude of that extremely beautiful woman, so he simply stayed outside for a while and focused on hunting Stone Spirit Beasts.

  The crazy hunting also brought extremely gratifying harvests.

  At this moment, the number of second-grade Life Essence in Meteorite Crystal's space ring had reached as many as one thousand. This didn't even include those that had been devoured by the Frozen Rabbit. All in all, in less than five days, Chen Yue had actually hunted no less than one thousand five hundred Stone Spirit Beasts and a small number of other second-grade Prime Beasts.

  "This is equivalent to ten pieces of third-grade Life Essence," Chen Yue's expression showed a bit of satisfaction. At this rate, it wouldn't even take a year to complete the trial goal of obtaining three pieces of fourth-grade Life Essence. If West didn't have any backup plans, he would surely lose.

  "However, it's time to stop at the right time," Chen Yue's eyes flickered. Although the number of Prime Beasts in the entire dangerous area was extremely large, and there were also many Prime Beasts on the Red Stone Plain, the number of more than one thousand Prime Beasts was still quite astonishing. If he continued to hunt on the Red Stone Plain, it might cause a riot.

  While thinking about the next hunting ground in his mind, Chen Yue quickly dug out the Life Essence of these Stone Spirit Beasts without stopping and then ran towards the entrance of the valley.

  The small number of Stone Spirit Beasts that had escaped during the chaos just now hadn't run far. Instead, they were entangled by the Frozen Rabbit. Moreover, their speed was originally slow, so Chen Yue easily caught up with them one by one.

  A moment later, more than twenty pieces of Life Essence were in his hands.

  After giving a few pieces of Life Essence to the great contributor to satisfy its craving, Chen Yue handed the rest to Meteorite Crystal to put them away.

  Meteorite Crystal smiled and seemed to enjoy this feeling.

  "Check if there are any Stone Spirit Beasts that have escaped nearby," Chen Yue ordered. If one escaped, the consequences could be imagined.

  Meteorite Crystal immediately took out the Glassy Bead, took a look, and her pretty face suddenly changed drastically.

  "Oh no, Chen Yue, a third-grade Prime Beast is quickly approaching here."

  "A third-grade Prime Beast?" Chen Yue was shocked when he heard this. He took the Glassy Bead and took a look. Sure enough, there was a yellow dot on it, which was rushing towards here quickly.

  "It seems that the continuous hunting of Stone Spirit Beasts has finally made them aware," Chen Yue's expression didn't show too much surprise. He had already expected this moment.

  Taking a deep breath, Chen Yue's expression calmed down, and his gaze shifted to the Blade Beast in his hand.

  "Let's just give it a try and see the real strength of the third-grade Prime Beast."
