Chapter 116: That move by God Nan was absolutely outrageous!

Xu Jiya did not yield and excitedly took the driver’s seat. “Let’s go!”

“Let’s start by exploring Lingxu thoroughly to understand all its various forms, then find a suitable spot to farm monsters. That way, we’ll be more efficient and less exhausted,” Xiang Nan said as he pulled out the electronic map Zhang Chen had given him, checking it carefully.

The map provided by the school was too vague, only useful for monitoring signal changes but lacking any practical detail.

In contrast, Zhang Chen’s electronic map was meticulously detailed—no one knew where he had gotten it.

The forest was teeming with people everywhere.

Occasionally, the roar of battle and bursts of white smoke emerged from the woods—fireballs, ice arrows, water blades—wave after wave of attacks.

Everyone was fiercely fighting the demon beasts.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed through the sky. A helicopter arrogantly appeared in everyone’s view.

The warriors in battle were stunned, and even the demon beasts seemed taken aback.

What was happening?

“Whoa! Since when did Lingxu get helicopters? Is this an official inspection?”

“Official inspection my foot—that’s Nan Shen’s squad!”

“Nan Shen’s move is so flashy! A helicopter is awesome!”

“Isn’t this against the rules? I’m reporting this! We’re slogging through the mud while they’re flying in the sky!”

“Report what? They haven’t broken any rules. The Mad King never said anything about banning helicopters.”

At that moment, the helicopter buzzed overhead. Xiang Nan even popped his head out, making a “Keep it up!” gesture.

“This is so infuriating and humiliating! Awakening a spatial ability is impressive, but flaunting it like this is just showing off!”

“Enough whining, come help! I’m about to be killed by demon beasts here!”

In a patch of forest, Lin Chuchu and her team had just collectively slain a third-rank demon beast.

“Great! Our first kill is a third-rank demon beast—definitely something to celebrate!”

“Less than half an hour in, and we’re already this good! We’re real contenders for the Lingxu Expedition championship.”

“Let’s keep going, strike while the iron’s hot. We can’t claim the championship yet, but we should at least gather more spirit pearls.”

“True, but the mountain paths in Lingxu are really tough—full of snakes, insects, and rodents. It’s hard to guard against everything.” Lin Chuchu, being a girl, couldn’t help but complain about the environment.

“Chuchu, this is Lingxu Expedition—wilderness survival. Everyone’s been through this,” Zhu Wenhao comforted her.

Just then, a fierce gust blew overhead as Xiang Nan’s helicopter roared by.

“Look, it’s Nan Shen! Damn, why do they get a helicopter?”

“It must be from Nan Shen’s spatial awakening. We’re stuck slogging through mud hunting monsters, and they’re comfortably flying above us. What a difference!”

“You don’t get it. Nan Shen’s just protecting himself. After that bet at the entrance, the Supreme Spirit Warriors won’t let him off. Sympathy for Nan Shen, three seconds.”

The boys stared longingly at the departing helicopter.

“Enough, Zhu Wenhao. They don’t need your pity. Stop being so self-important.” Lin Chuchu frowned but couldn’t help glancing repeatedly at the helicopter’s direction.

Along the way, Xiang Nan’s squad collected plenty of envy and jealousy.

He, however, was delighted. For some reason, watching the desperate battles against demon beasts below from such a height gave him an almost divine perspective.

Not only a god’s-eye view but also a feeling of supreme dominance, looking down on everyone beneath him.

In short, it felt fantastic.

What he didn’t notice was the many hostile eyes silently tracking him from inconspicuous corners.

It wasn’t that he was unaware—he just didn’t think it was worth worrying about.

Those people would come for him sooner or later. Worrying in advance was useless.

Besides, he was a man with a resurrection armor. Was he afraid of their dirty tricks?

At worst, he could always use the innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram.

An invincible existence, okay? What was there to fear from a bunch of punks?

Thus, Xiang Nan’s squad flew the helicopter, surveying the entire Lingxu.

Lingxu’s active area consisted of eight islands, separated by a lake.

Twin Moon Island was the entrance and exit, with sparse woods and fewer, lower-ranked demon beasts.

Further in, on either side, were the six Qingyu Islands—three on each side—encircling the central Lingxu island.

Each of the six islands had different terrains. Xiang Nan chose the third island as their base.

It boasted beautiful scenery and a large grassy meadow perfect for camping. According to the electronic map, the demon beasts here were mostly second and third rank, with a few fourth-rank ones—ideal for hunting spirit pearls.

As soon as they landed, Xiang Nan reached into his spatial pocket and pulled out a bundle of machine guns—gifts from Leng Ruoshuang, just in time.

“Come on, two guns each. These second and third-rank demon beasts, unless they’re incredibly tough, won’t last long.”

“Damn! Hanging with Brother Nan is different—gear galore! This’ll save so much spirit energy,” Li Xiang excitedly strapped on two machine guns, taking plenty of ammo.

Why waste spirit energy when you can use tools?

Three girls eagerly followed suit, each carrying two guns for defense.

Xiang Nan waved his hand. “Team, our hunting time has come.”

With that, he led the charge into the dense forest.

The first creature they encountered was a second-rank battle camel demon beast, known for its powerful physical attacks.

The battle camel was foraging when it suddenly saw someone rushing in fearlessly.

Not one to be trifled with, it thought: fresh meat delivered right to my doorstep?

Excitedly roaring, it prepared to turn this intruder into a meal.

Before the third roar, Xiang Nan’s machine guns unleashed a burst of fire.

The massive battle camel was instantly stunned.

Though incredibly strong—one kick could topple a building—it was slow and clumsy in agility.

Its dodging looked like a slow-motion comedy to Xiang Nan.

After a spray of bullets, the battle camel collapsed with a thud.

These creatures also had a bonus: their meat was tender and flavorful, not unlike beef.

Unlike the obsidian bat beast, which looked disgusting and had a foul-tasting meat.

Gourmets who entered Lingxu would never pass up the chance to hunt battle camels.

Life in Lingxu was long, and you couldn’t survive without meat.

Xiang Nan tossed the over-600-pound beast into his spatial pocket.

“Tonight’s midnight snack is settled!”

Gunfire echoed intermittently from the surrounding woods as the team entered full monster-farming mode.

Xiang Nan pressed forward smoothly.

No matter what demon beast appeared, the first move was a burst from the machine gun.

Those who couldn’t withstand it fell immediately. Xiang Nan swiftly harvested their spirit pearls and stored them away.

For tougher beasts with thick hides, he unleashed his Three Great Divine Arts. If that failed, a wave of scorching flame would instantly roast them into barbecue.

The five-person squad each killed several monsters on their own before regrouping to penetrate deeper into the forest.

Behind them, a shadow flickered stealthily through the undergrowth, silently trailing their every step.
