Chapter 38

The power of the mutated beasts is evident, but if asked whether Cheng Yang now hopes to encounter one, he would certainly raise both his hands and feet to give an affirmative answer.

This is not because Cheng Yang is tired of living, but because the mutated beasts possess characteristics that the demonized beasts cannot compare to.

The reason for this is that the mutated beasts can be tamed. In game terms, this means that the mutated beasts can be kept as pets.

However, the number of mutated beasts is too small, and their strength is either extremely strong or extremely weak, making it not easy to tame them. In the previous life, there was only one case of a mutated beast being tamed and made into a pet. It was precisely because of this incident that all the combat practitioners in the world coveted the mutated beasts. Some people even risked their lives to venture into remote areas in search of possible mutated beasts. But most of these people did not return alive.

Although Cheng Yang now very much hopes to encounter a mutated beast, he himself also knows that it is a luxury, because there has never been a precedent for a mutated beast appearing right next to a base. It can be said that the field bases and main cities are the places most closely watched by the deities, and also the areas where the laws of heaven and earth are most complete. Mutated beasts, which are monsters that exist on the fringes of the laws of heaven and earth, cannot appear in this area.

For Cheng Yang, the mutated beasts are still very distant. What he needs to do now is to kill demonized beasts and accumulate more spirit energy points for himself.

Next, Cheng Yang continued to sweep through the jungle. When encountering groups of monsters with fewer than seventy or eighty, Cheng Yang would not use the magic energy potion, but instead use a stop-and-go method to slowly eliminate the demonized beasts. Only in this way can the magic energy potion achieve its maximum effect.

In the following hour, Cheng Yang slaughtered a large group of more than three hundred monsters, as well as two medium-sized groups of about two hundred monsters each. As for small groups, there were seven or eight. This brought Cheng Yang's spirit energy points to 1,600 again.

However, at this point, his magic energy potions were also exhausted, and he had to return home.

Upon returning to Luofeng Village, Cheng Yang found that Liu Hao was practicing. At the same time, the forty people under his command were also practicing in their respective places. To ensure maximum efficiency, all the civilian houses were prioritized for those practicing. The rest, even if they wanted to rest, could only camp outside.

If this had been when these people first arrived at Luofeng Village, some might have been dissatisfied, but now, no one raised any objections. In the past two days, while clearing the ruins of Huimin Town, they had seen too many deaths, with bodies piled everywhere. Those with good luck still had complete skeletons, while those with bad luck only had piles of limbs.

These scenes made the survivors deeply grateful that they were still alive and could eat their fill. As for where to sleep, who would still be picky? Who would dare to be picky?

Cheng Yang now had some doubts about whether he should, after finishing his practice, continue to provide another 1,000 spirit energy points for others to practice.

Undoubtedly, this would accelerate the growth of Luofeng Village's strength, but Cheng Yang was not very reassured about the others. Although 1,000 spirit energy points is not a large number, it is still very important to Cheng Yang at this stage.

However, if he did not provide it to others, keeping it for himself would not be very useful. To activate a higher multiple of practice effect, it would not be enough with just 1,000 or 2,000 spirit energy points. After the fourfold practice effect, the next is the sixfold practice effect, which requires 10,000 spirit energy points to activate. Cheng Yang would need about seven or eight days to accumulate this much.

If he provided 1,000 spirit energy points to others for seven or eight days, it would be enough for them to advance to the mid-level apprentice.

After some consideration, Cheng Yang finally decided to provide this part of the spirit energy points to others. Of course, this was just a loan. When all his spirit energy points reached 10,000, he would take them back to activate the sixfold practice speed.

It was only around 10 PM, and he still had about four hours before he started practicing. Cheng Yang woke Liu Hao from his practice and said to him, "What do you think of the person named Chen Chao under your command?"

"Chen Chao?" Liu Hao was initially taken aback, then said, "That person is quite good. His profession is an archer, and he seems to have been a professional soldier before, receiving specialized training. Although he has only been an archer for a few days, he can basically hit the target every time. Moreover, Chen Chao has a high level of recognition for Luofeng Village. He is from Huimin Town, and both he and his mother were rescued from the ruins, so he has a high level of recognition for Luofeng Village."

Cheng Yang nodded and said, "If you think he is good, develop him as your deputy. Your team will gradually grow larger, and relying on just one person for management won't work, so cultivating a deputy is important."

Liu Hao instantly understood, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, Chen Chao is indeed quite suitable. He comes from the military and is very good at managing people. I hadn't thought about this issue before, but now that you mention it, I realize it. Yangzi, you must promise not to poach him from me."

Cheng Yang said irritably, "Do I need to do that?"

"You're right, everyone in Luofeng Village seems to be under your command," Liu Hao said, "But you can't transfer him from under me, right?"

"Alright, I promise you."
