Fang Xiu looked at the Demon Beasts before him.
They were all around Level 15.
The number was similar to the Level 20 Demon Beasts they had encountered before, but their levels were much lower.
Perfect for Luo Xing and the others.
"This Celestial Demon Fragrance is ridiculously strong. It attracted this many Demon Beasts in an instant?"
Chu Qingxue, standing nearby, was also curious.
’The Celestial Demon Fragrance is way too powerful, isn’t it?’
"I guess there are just a lot of Demon Beasts around here!"
Fang Xiu said casually.
Indeed, a large number of Demon Beasts had already gathered in this area.
It was just that Fang Xiu had specifically sent Kajimi to find such a place.
After all, there were cameras overhead. If any strange traces left by other Demon Beasts were discovered, it would arouse suspicion.
And Fang Xiu couldn’t hunt the... Demon Beasts specifically designated for the competition cameras a second time.
Fortunately, the Demon Beasts here were rather scattered.
Sometimes they gathered together, and other times, you could go a long while without encountering a single one.
This was an artificially created Gate World.
These were some of its minor flaws.
Of course, they could also be called bugs.
And now, Fang Xiu could put them to good use.
"Brother Fang, should we kill them?"
Luo Xing looked at the Demon Beasts that were closing in on them.
He wasn’t worried in the slightest.
After all, the highest-level Demon Beast among them was only Level 18.
To Luo Xing, it was no longer a threat.
Besides, Fang Xiu was with them.
With him around, there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
"Go ahead, but don’t kill them!"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
These Demon Beasts were all drawn by the Celestial Demon Fragrance.
And he wanted to use these very Demon Beasts to test the effects of the Celestial Demon Fragrance.
Of course, that was on the condition that the Demon Beasts didn’t kill Tao Miao.
"Right. Killing a Demon Beast is one thing, but just stopping them is simple enough!"
Luo Xing nodded slightly.
Then he nocked an arrow, drew his bow, and shot a charging Demon Beast.
"I’ll go help too!"
With that, Chu Qingxue, who was standing nearby, charged out.
Only Fang Xiu remained where he was, watching quietly.
His gaze was focused mainly on Tao Miao.
Celestial Demon Fragrance. A scent that could both drive Demon Beasts into a frenzy and stun them.
Fang Xiu now wanted to see exactly how the Celestial Demon Fragrance would stun these Demon Beasts of around Level 16.
This would also determine whether Tao Miao’s Talent could be useful in major battles in the future.
It all depended on the effectiveness of the stun.
This was also why Fang Xiu had told Luo Xing and Chu Qingxue not to rush to kill the Demon Beasts.
Moreover, the Demon Beasts’ Levels weren’t particularly high.
Even Tao Miao and her two friends could handle them without much trouble.
They wouldn’t get injured.
Besides, since the Demon Beasts’ Levels were varied, Fang Xiu could determine how long the Celestial Demon Fragrance’s stun effect lasted against beasts of different Levels.
After all, Fang Xiu didn’t believe the stun duration would be the same for every Demon Beast.
’Otherwise, you could just drag Tao Miao near a Level 100 boss, protect her until the boss is stunned, and then kill it outright.’
That was, of course, impossible.
’In fact, with the Celestial Demon Fragrance that the current Tao Miao emits during combat, it would be difficult to stun a Level 100 boss for even 0.0001 seconds.’
And what Fang Xiu wanted to determine now was whether Tao Miao was worth cultivating and leveling up.
’If she isn’t worth it, then... after this wave, I’ll just leave things to fate.’
According to the official domestic explanation of the Celestial Demon Fragrance, it was generally a ten-second stun every five minutes.
But that was the description for the plant-based version of the Celestial Demon Fragrance, not for the Celestial Demon Fragrance Talent.
Furthermore, the ten-second stun from the plant-based Celestial Demon Fragrance applied to a specific Level 38 Demon Beast that was discovered at the same time as the plant itself.
Additionally, the naturally occurring Celestial Demon Fragrance plants were mostly around Level 20.
Fang Xiu couldn’t predict if her stun effect would improve if Tao Miao’s Level was raised to Level 30.
For now, he could only rely on these Demon Beasts to make his judgment.
"One minute left."
Fang Xiu watched the time.
He looked at the Demon Beasts before him. Some were injured, while others weren’t even scratched.
Only a few had been killed.
It couldn’t be helped. Fang Xiu had told Luo Xing and Chu Qingxue not to kill the Demon Beasts, but Tao Miao and her friends hadn’t been given that instruction.
So, whenever they saw an opportunity, they struck to kill the Demon Beasts.
Fang Xiu didn’t mind.
Time passed, second by second.
Finally, at the five-minute mark, Fang Xiu saw a Level 15 Demon Beast fall into a stunned state.
’Not bad!’
Immediately after, a second one fell, then a third.
The highest-level Demon Beast, however, was not stunned.
Instead, it continued its Attack.
Fortunately, its opponent was Chu Qingxue.
She immediately intercepted the Demon Beast.
’Six minutes!’
Fang Xiu watched the Demon Beasts before him.
Most of the Demon Beasts had now fallen into a stunned state.
But the Level 18 Demon Beast had not.
’Seven minutes!’
When the seventh minute arrived, Fang Xiu saw the Level 18 Demon Beast finally begin to show signs of being stunned.
At seven minutes and thirty-two seconds, the Level 18 Demon Beast finally succumbed to the stun.
Tao Miao and her two teammates let out a collective sigh of relief.
"Seven minutes and thirty-two seconds."
Fang Xiu said, looking at Tao Miao.
"Huh?"
Tao Miao was taken aback.
’She hadn’t expected Fang Xiu to be timing it.’
"Your current Level is 16. To stun a Level 18 Demon Beast, it takes you seven minutes and thirty-two seconds. To stun a Level 17 Demon Beast, it takes six minutes and forty-one seconds. For a Level 16, it takes five minutes and thirteen seconds. And for any Demon Beast with a lower Level than you, five minutes!"
