Nie Yuan and the other two fought together, barely managing to kill a third-stage Earth Fierce Bear.

At this moment, the three of them turned around and all fell into a daze.

Not far from them, Ye Han was quietly wiping the fresh blood from his hands, tidying up his clothes, while four Earth Fierce Bear corpses lay on the ground.

"Are you a monster?" He Qingfeng couldn't help but exclaim.

Is this something a human can do?

They had worked hard to kill one Earth Fierce Bear, thinking about how they could escape this ordeal today, and Ye Han had directly killed the remaining four?

"Divine Power Realm combat strength!"

"Ye Han, you actually have Divine Power Realm combat strength. How can a genius like you be with us, the servant disciples?"

After a few breaths of silence, Nie Yuan suddenly spoke.

"I'm not a genius!" Ye Han shook his head.

A true genius would have reached the eighth or ninth level of Gathering Essence by the age of twelve or thirteen, and by Ye Han's age, they would have already entered the Divine Power Realm.

There were people like that among the outer disciples of the Reincarnation Academy now.

"Is this not a genius? The three of us combined probably wouldn't be enough for one punch from you, right?" He Qingfeng looked at Ye Han strangely, meaning don't be modest.

"The Great Void Secret Record mentioned that initially, Feng Wu Liang had reached the ninth level of Gathering Essence at the age of twelve and the eighth level of Divine Power Realm at the age of sixteen. Some of the Divine Power Realm geniuses among the outer disciples are actually around our age," Ye Han said.

"Alright, dig out the bear gallbladders, and let's continue searching for Earth Fierce Bears." Ye Han continued.

The five bear gallbladders were quickly collected, and then the group continued their journey through the mountains.

"More corpses?"

A moment later, the group stared at the ground in front of them, all showing looks of shock.

They saw the bodies of Reincarnation Academy disciples lying there, looking gruesome, and they had probably died no more than two or three days ago.

Not far away, there were other bodies, but it didn't seem like they had killed each other. Their deaths were very tragic, and some of their flesh was even missing.

"They were hunted by demons!"

Ye Han gazed at a distance, where there were several demon corpses.

"That's not right. Although there are many demons in the Demon Ridge, they mostly live in the deep Demon Grand Canyon," Nie Yuan said. "In the outer areas, it's almost impossible to find any demon traces."

"That's correct. According to what I know, we came here to hunt demons and beasts. Although the demons are brutal, they don't dare to come to the outer areas easily," Zhao Yijian also said.

This was very strange. They had only been in the Demon Ridge for a short time, and they had already seen dozens of demons, both alive and dead.

"Regardless, let's complete the mission. Twenty Earth Fierce Bears, it's very easy!"

Ye Han now had a clear sense of his own strength, not just blind confidence.

In the next half day, their harvest was beyond imagination. They continuously hunted over twenty Earth Fierce Bears, including other second and third-stage beasts.

The number of beasts was ten times more than what Nie Yuan and the others knew!

The mission, which was expected to take three to four days, was not only completed but also brought other rewards.

Of course, this was also thanks to Ye Han's strength. Otherwise, ordinary servant disciples would find it hard to survive in such an environment, and even Divine Power Realm outer disciples would struggle.

"Should we go back?"

Zhao Yijian was very calm at this moment.

"Sure!"

Ye Han nodded in response.

He had a bad feeling. During the previous hunt, he had sensed an incredibly terrifying aura, at least from a fifth or sixth-stage beast.

Training was fine, but seeking death was foolish. Ye Han didn't want to stay any longer; something was off in the Demon Ridge.

"Roar...!"

As they were talking, a fierce roar came from deep in the forest.

The sound was chaotic, with demons, beasts, and even human warriors mixed in.

Boom, boom, boom!!

In a daze, the earth trembled as if countless ancient beasts were charging.

"What's happening?"

Ye Han's expression changed. Climbing up an ancient tree, he saw a vast sea of figures rushing towards them.

Various beasts and demons were fighting, and Ye Han roughly estimated that there were thousands, if not tens of thousands.

At the forefront, a few young warriors were fleeing.

"These idiots." Ye Han couldn't help but curse.

Clearly, these warriors had angered a large number of beasts, and with the bloodthirsty demons, chaos ensued.

The demons were hunting the beasts, and the beasts, with bloodshot eyes, wanted to devour the group of warriors.

If they had scattered, it would have been better, but these idiots gathered and fled in one direction. Wasn't this asking for death?

"Run quickly!"

Jumping down from the tree, Ye Han led Nie Yuan and the others to flee from the Demon Ridge.

"Damn, this is probably a demon tide. How could we be so unlucky?" Nie Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

"A demon tide?"

Ye Han was startled, immediately thinking of what the Great Void Secret Record had said.

The reproduction rate of the underground demons was incredibly fast. Whenever a large number of demons grew up, famine would occur, and they would all go mad, surging out to hunt beasts and humans. This was the so-called demon tide.

A demon tide was a disaster. Fortunately, this was the Demon Ridge, where there were many beasts, but it would still cause chaos throughout the Demon Ridge.

No wonder the demons were fighting to the death.

The Demon Ridge was vast and deep, and fortunately, the group's cultivation levels limited them from venturing too deep, so they could quickly escape the area.

Boom!

As they were running, a violent tremor came from ahead.

A forest of trees suddenly collapsed, and then a mountain-like giant figure blocked their path.

"An Icefang Saber Tiger?" Nie Yuan was almost in despair: "A fifth-stage beast!"

A fifth-stage beast was at least as powerful as a third-level Divine Power Realm warrior, capable of turning Nie Yuan and the others into minced meat with one claw.

Fortunately, this fifth-stage beast seemed off. There was a thirty-centimeter wound on its chest, bleeding profusely.

The Icefang Saber Tiger was extremely agitated, its claws swinging wildly, venting its unknown anger, leaving the area in chaos.

"You three, run quickly!" Ye Han immediately said.

"No, we stand together."

Although Nie Yuan was in despair, he was full of passion.

Roar...!

The Icefang Saber Tiger roared, its bell-like eyes locking onto the group. Its body moved, and its claw extended, a gust of wind rushing towards them.

Ye Han kicked Nie Yuan in the buttocks, sending him flying several meters away, and then quickly jumped back.

The ground where he had stood cracked, leaving a deep pit.

"See if you have any brains now!"

Ye Han unleashed a burst of essence energy, roaring at the Icefang Saber Tiger to attract its attention. "Zhao Yijian, He Qingfeng, take him and run, don't drag me down!"

"Brother Ye Han, we'll wait for you to return!"

Zhao Yijian and the others had complex expressions, tears welling in their eyes, and they immediately dragged Nie Yuan away.

A fan-like giant claw swung again, and Ye Han didn't have time to respond. He darted to the right, leading the Icefang Saber Tiger away.

In an instant, the man and the beast disappeared from Nie Yuan's sight.
