Luo Xing nodded slightly.
He was the type who couldn’t stand still for a moment.
Even if they encountered a Demon Beast stronger than him, as long as Fang Xiu was around, everything would be fine.
"Don’t worry. With Tao Miao here, you’ll get plenty of chances to act soon. Whether you can enter the Demon Beast Battlefield will depend on your performance."
In truth, Fang Xiu hadn’t been idle.
He had just sent Kajimi to scout the surrounding area for places with a high concentration of Low Level Demon Beasts.
Preferably around Level 15.
Fang Xiu didn’t need to show off.
But Luo Xing did, and so did Chu Qingxue.
And Tao Miao, too.
Fang Xiu wanted to bring this person to the Demon Beast Battlefield.
However, her Power wasn’t high enough, and the level of risk she brought was also very high.
This was why Fang Xiu was looking for Low Level Demon Beasts.
He needed to determine the true extent of Tao Miao’s Power.
If she was too weak, bringing her to the Demon Beast Battlefield wouldn’t be particularly useful.
But if Tao Miao was a talent that could be molded, Fang Xiu naturally had ways to help her increase her Power.
And then... have her work for him.
"So, Brother Fang, when do I get to perform?"
Luo Xing was secretly delighted.
He also wanted to go to the Demon Beast Battlefield.
After all, while it was fraught with danger, it was also filled with opportunities.
If he could hunt a few more Demon Beasts on the Demon Beast Battlefield, the things they dropped would be every bit as good as what he could find in a Gate World.
In fact, the materials on the Demon Beast Battlefield were even more abundant than in the Gate Worlds.
Basically, anything that could be found in a Gate World could also be found on the Demon Beast Battlefield.
Even Rare Materials were far more plentiful on the Demon Beast Battlefield than in the Gate Worlds.
If he could find enough materials, he might be able to craft suitable Equipment.
Of course, Luo Xing wasn’t the only one who thought this way.
Most of those who had signed up had the same idea.
On the Demon Beast Battlefield, everything that dropped belonged to the individual Awakened.
They could even get rewards for hunting Demon Beasts on the Battlefield.
The people here all had at least A Level Talent.
Like Chu Qingxue, their requirements for Equipment were also very high.
If they couldn’t get suitable Equipment from drops or purchases, their only option was to gather materials themselves.
To forge brand-new Equipment.
Equipment that was tailor-made for them.
"Just follow me!"
Fang Xiu’s route seemed aimless, but in reality, he was following directions Kajimi was sending to his phone.
The entire way, Fang Xiu headed toward clusters of weaker Demon Beasts.
And along the way, he also avoided quite a few Demon Beasts above Level 15.
But to everyone else, it just looked like Fang Xiu was wandering around randomly.
"Fang Xiu, are you very familiar with this Gate World?"
Just then, Chu Qingxue walked up beside Fang Xiu and asked curiously in a low voice.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xiu was taken aback.
’My path has been completely random.’
’How did Chu Qingxue figure it out?’
"Although your path seems disorganized, you’ve managed to consistently head toward the center in this unfamiliar Gate World. It’s obvious you’re very familiar with this place."
Chu Qingxue’s voice was still very low.
As if she were afraid of being recorded.
Hearing this, Fang Xiu just smiled. "You could say it’s one of my Skills!"
He didn’t explain any further.
And Chu Qingxue didn’t press him.
She just grew even more curious about Fang Xiu.
As far as Chu Qingxue was concerned, since Fang Xiu hadn’t admitted to being familiar with this Gate World...
...then it really must be a unique Skill that allowed him to scout the Gate World.
As for what kind of Skill it was, since Fang Xiu was unwilling to elaborate, Chu Qingxue wouldn’t ask too many questions.
She just became more intrigued by Fang Xiu, this Mage.
A Mage had achieved Enlightenment in a Swordsman’s Skill. Something that ridiculous had already happened.
So, a Mage being able to survey the dangers of a Gate World was naturally acceptable, too.
"Everyone, get ready. Your chance to perform is right up ahead!"
Just then, Fang Xiu suddenly spoke up.
Everyone was a little confused.
’A chance to perform?’
But before they could react...
...a beast’s roar echoed from not far away.
"ROAR!"
This roar put everyone on high alert.
"There’s a Demon Beast!"
The other female Mage in their group shouted.
Only then did they understand why Fang Xiu had said this was their chance to perform.
"That’s... a Level 14 Demon Beast!"
At that moment, Tao Miao caught sight of the Demon Beast.
A Level 14 Demon Beast.
And at the same time, the Demon Beast also saw Fang Xiu and the others.
"Tao Miao, use your Skill. Release the Exotic Fragrance."
Fang Xiu said, looking at Tao Miao.
"But..."
Tao Miao hesitated. After all, what had happened before was quite dangerous.
The Demon Beast before them was only Level 14.
But her Exotic Fragrance might just attract a wave of Level 20 Demon Beasts.
After all, the closer they got to the center of the Gate World, the stronger the Demon Beasts they would face. This was a principle all Awakened understood.
And right now, they were naturally much closer to the center of the Gate World than before.
If she attracted another wave at this point, she feared they would all be Level 20 Demon Beasts.
"Listen to me. If any Level 20 Demon Beasts show up, I’ll take care of them!"
Fang Xiu assured the hesitant Tao Miao.
"Okay!"
Only then did Tao Miao nod slightly.
As her Spiritual Power surged, she charged directly toward the Level 14 Demon Beast in the distance.
"Celestial Demon Vine!"
Tao Miao shouted in a low voice.
Countless vines shot out from all directions, swarming toward the Demon Beast.
And as soon as these Celestial Demon Vines appeared, Fang Xiu could smell a fragrance emerge from them.
"Is this the Celestial Demon Flower’s fragrance?"
Luo Xing also caught a whiff of the scent and asked in surprise.
"Yes, this is the Celestial Demon Flower Fragrance that can attract Demon Beasts. But this scent isn’t just for attraction."
Fang Xiu explained, "Its effect is to put Demon Beasts into a dazed state. And even if the Demon Beasts know they’ll be dazed, they can’t resist absorbing the fragrance."
"But this fragrance attracts a lot of powerful Demon Beasts. If we get defeated before they fall into a daze, we’re done for!"
Luo Xing could also see the drawback of this fragrance.
"Every Skill is a double-edged sword. The advantages of this Celestial Demon Flower Fragrance outweigh its disadvantages. Most importantly, the drawbacks can be compensated for by the Awakened."
Fang Xiu said with a smile, "If an Awakened is strong enough, then this fragrance will only bring a steady stream of Demon Beasts. It basically means you can stand still and have Demon Beasts come to you, serving themselves up on a platter."
"That’s true!"
Luo Xing nodded.
Having a constant stream of Demon Beasts appear was equivalent to waiting for materials to be delivered right to your doorstep.
Whether it was materials, Treasure Chests, or Equipment, anything could potentially appear.
Of course, the precondition was that the Awakened weren’t too weak.
"Hah!"
At that moment, Tao Miao’s battle had also begun.
A Level 14 Demon Beast wasn’t very strong.
But Tao Miao’s Skill didn’t seem to be very powerful either.
The vines merely managed to bind the Demon Beast.
’To perform better, Tao Miao either needs good teammates or needs to acquire an Attack-type Skill!’
Fang Xiu could see that Tao Miao’s only skill was one that left foes Entangled.
While this Skill was decent at times, allowing her to kill lower-Level Demon Beasts simply by binding them, it was a different story against stronger foes. If she encountered a powerful Demon Beast, or one from the Power System, they could probably break free in an instant.
And as it happened, the Demon Beast before them was from the Power System.
"ROAR!"
With an angry roar from the Demon Beast, Tao Miao’s Celestial Demon Vines were instantly broken.
"Tao Miao, we’ll help you!"
Seeing that Tao Miao’s binding was useless,
her other two teammates quickly rushed forward to help.
"It’s about time!"
Just then, Fang Xiu suddenly spoke.
Luo Xing was stunned. ’What’s about time?’
"ROAR!"
"AWOO!!"
"SCREECH!!!"
At that exact moment, a chorus of cries erupted.
Luo Xing’s face was filled with astonishment. "This... is this the allure of the Celestial Demon Flower Fragrance?"
’Is it really that deadly?’
But Fang Xiu just nodded slightly. He knew he was about to see the results of the test he wanted to run.
