Chapter 168: Finding
To be honest, Lian Yun brought Ding Lan along mainly to keep watch. When someone arrived, he would have Yang Zai Xing return to the Yin-Yang Stage without intending for her to fight.
He had considered this idea, but Lian Yun was somewhat puzzled. "Aside from that Wolf King, which seems to possess some intelligence, the other Chaos Beasts lack any awareness. It appears they have a specific attack range; as long as we don't step into that range, they won't attack even if they see us."
"Then what could attract them?"
"It should be something with a strong scent!" Ding Lan replied uncertainly.
Lian Yun nodded in agreement with Ding Lan's opinion but struggled to think of anything that could emit a scent strong enough to draw in a Grizzly Bear.
"Lord, perhaps it's not about a specific item but rather a special location?" Yang Zai Xing suddenly suggested.
"A special location?" Lian Yun was somewhat surprised but also found it plausible.
"This Yin Yang City was clearly built to gather Spiritual Energy, which is why they recruited us as enforcers. In this case, Yin Yang City not only doesn't mind our excessive killings but actually hopes we can do even more."
"Then I believe there might be a certain spot in the forest that, once touched, could summon all the Grizzly Bears in the area."
"I even think that if we can kill a certain number of Grizzly Bears within a specific timeframe, we might receive special rewards."
Yang Zai Xing's analysis made sense, and Lian Yun found it very likely. Thus, Lian Yun dashed into the forest.
Since Ding Lan had once been a hunter and was most familiar with the woods, Lian Yun let her lead the way while instructing her to avoid stepping into the Grizzly Bears' attack range. Meanwhile, Lian Yun had no such concerns; eager to explore more territory, he charged through the forest like a headless fly behind Ding Lan, occasionally striking down some Grizzly Bears when necessary.
Yang Zai Xing returned to the Yin-Yang Stage.
The reason was that he and Yan Lie were almost one entity. Although he could dismount, Lian Yun did not want to separate from the life that was intertwined with his horse unless absolutely necessary.
After nearly an hour and a half, Lian Yun's footsteps had traversed several mountains without finding any place that could attract all the Grizzly Bears. However, Lian Yun did not give up; instead, he returned to a valley nestled between the Three Mountains.
This gorge was not large, but it housed a towering pine tree, its trunk so thick that it would take four or five people to wrap their arms around it. The tree rose high above the mountains, standing over a hundred meters tall.
This was the only particularly special spot among the mountains.
Lian Yun thought about how, although there were many punishments for enslaving 'souls' in Yin Yang City, the Eternal Emperor's true intention could not have been merely to enslave souls.
There should always be a glimmer of hope in everything.
If the battlefield were to be between the mountains, it would attract the Grizzly Bears from all sides, and with their continuous emergence, it would lead to an endless battle. Once exhausted, there would be almost no chance of survival.
Thus, Lian Yun felt that there should also be a safe place for rest within the battlefield.
The giant tree at the center of the valley clearly provided protection against the Grizzly Bears' climbing.
Lian Yun then thought that Yang Zai Xing's speculation about the contact point might not be on the ground but rather in the tree.
Upon reaching the base of the tree, Lian Yun instructed Yang Zai Xing to switch places with Big Head and then let Big Head come out as well. The three of them—Lian Yun, Big Head, and Ding Lan—began to circle around the trunk and ascend.
After passing twenty meters and reaching the first branch, then thirty meters to the second branch, they finally arrived at forty meters where they reached the third branch. From this height, they could see all three slopes of the Three Mountains. It was at this moment that Lian Yun noticed all the Grizzly Bears on those slopes charging down.
This scene made Lian Yun smile knowingly and think to himself, "General Yang really fell for it."
However, the number of Grizzly Bears on the slope of Three-Faced Mountain Body was only about four to five hundred. Lian Yun felt that this was insufficient and wanted to climb higher to see if he could attract more Grizzly Bears.
As soon as Lian Yun left, the Grizzly Bears charging down immediately halted and began to retreat.
This~~~
Lian Yun quickly summoned Ding Lan back to his previous position, and then all the Grizzly Bears charged down once again.
Such a situation was truly delightful.
So, Lian Yun had Ding Lan stay put while Big Head returned to the Yin-Yang Stage. He himself went under a tree and summoned Yang Zai Xing.
Although this valley was not large, it was relatively flat. While Yang Zai Xing couldn't unleash his full power here, his combat effectiveness wasn't significantly diminished.
Thus, Lian Yun and Yang Zai Xing stood back-to-back against the tree trunk, waiting for the Grizzly Bears to descend before starting their massacre.
The two attacked with all their might, able to kill forty to fifty Grizzly Bears in a minute. To wipe out a wave would take about ten minutes. However, during those ten minutes, more Grizzly Bears continuously spawned on the slope of Three Mountains and charged down.
After fighting for a while, Lian Yun noticed that although all the Grizzly Bears from the slope of Three-Faced Mountain Body had come down, their total number remained unchanged. To improve efficiency, the only way was to increase the kill rate, but even that improvement was quite limited.
That meant they could kill at most a hundred Grizzly Bears per minute. If they killed too many, the spawning rate of the Grizzly Bears couldn't keep up; if they killed too few, the efficiency of spawning would decrease.
In summary, in this area, they could produce fifty Gray Spirit Coins and around four to five hundred Black Spirit Coins per minute.
Moreover, this task generally couldn't be accomplished by an individual; under normal circumstances, it should be considered a team effort.
If it were a battle against the Five or Six Peak Kings, earning fifty Gray Spirit Coins per minute and four to five hundred Black Spirit Coins wouldn't be excessive.
Lian Yun had other combat capabilities, and with Zhao Jinlong, Zhao Jinhui, and Sword Mountain fighting together, they would surely achieve this goal.
However, Lian Yun was not in a hurry. After fighting for about ten to twenty minutes, he took a break on the first branch of a tree, while Ding Lan went to the ground to collect nearly all the Gray Spirit Coins and Black Spirit Coins scattered throughout the valley.
Lian Yun's so-called rest involved absorbing Black Spirit Coins. Not only did he need to replenish his own energy, but he also needed to absorb it into the Yin-Yang Stage to supply Yang Zai Xing. The spiritual energy already present in his body and within the Yin-Yang Stage was temporarily set aside to conserve it for emergencies.
As a result, after twenty minutes of fighting, Lian Yun needed to spend nearly forty minutes absorbing spiritual energy.
In just one hour, he could only obtain close to a thousand Gray Spirit Coins and nearly ten thousand Black Spirit Coins. Considering the consumption of over a thousand Black Spirit Coins for replenishing Spiritual Energy, this yield was not particularly significant.
If there were one or two teams rotating in, they would undoubtedly gather more; however, splitting it among them might reduce individual gains.
For now, Lian Yun did not mind too much.
