Ye Shen didn't understand matters of luck. She scratched her head and pondered carefully. She thought that the luck Qin Feng mentioned might mean that the more people in a team, the greater the danger. It was like the Peace Alliance; they were fine as two people, but a third might attract monster attacks.
Moreover, her teammate's strength was formidable, and he didn't need anyone's help. Thinking this, she said no more.
They continued towards the next spiritual energy gathering spot.
Seven days passed like this. Qin Feng had killed many Commander-level monsters along the way, and his Bronze Treasure Chests had reached dozens.
Simultaneously, they had traveled to a Level 2 spiritual energy gathering spot and killed a Sovereign-level monster, gaining a lot of experience, money, and treasure chests.
Today, they headed to a Level 3 spiritual energy gathering spot. Based on Qin Feng's calculations, if this place contained monsters, there should be three Sovereign-level monsters gathered together, otherwise, the spiritual energy wouldn't have reached Level 3.
At the same time, Qin Feng understood that this Level 3 spiritual energy gathering spot would definitely not contain a Legendary-level monster. A being like the Sword Saint would have spiritual energy of at least Level 5, not Level 3.
With his current strength, he didn't have much confidence against a Legendary-level monster, but he could try. However, for this Level 3 spiritual energy gathering spot, he was absolutely confident.
His own combat power, combined with the Sword Control technique, was enough to deal with three Sovereign-level monsters.
What's more, he had his Red Alert army to assist him in combat. The Red Alert army's overall combat power was even greater than his, although their individual combat strength was not high.
Qin Feng still dispatched a Red Alert soldier to scout the situation.
When the Red Alert soldier arrived at the spiritual energy gathering spot, they found no trace of monsters. Qin Feng controlled the Red Alert soldier to circle the area several times but found nothing.
Could the monsters have already left? Were they no longer at this location?
This situation was very possible. The coordinates he had recorded were from seven days ago. Anything could have happened in these past few days.
It was possible that the monster had already been killed, or perhaps they were attracted by some target and had left. It was also possible that this group of monsters was just passing through, and their nest was not here.
Through the detection of the "Heavenly Round Earth Square" chess board, he could only remember the coordinates of these spiritual energy gathering spots, but he couldn't know if the monsters here would leave.
Feeling that he had gained nothing, Qin Feng decided to head to the next location.
Ye Shen, sitting beside him, scratched her head and said, "What a pity. It seems there are no monsters here. What a shame! I really wanted to see what kind of monsters would be in a Level 3 spiritual energy gathering spot."
After she finished speaking, they continued to move forward. However, they hadn't gone far when Qin Feng sensed something different. He felt a powerful force locking onto them, and a killing intent permeated from the sky.
Qin Feng stopped the off-road vehicle and simultaneously commanded his Red Alert army to set up an ambush around them. He then directly drew the Peerless Good Sword and carefully sensed the source of the killing intent.
Ye Shen, who was beside him, was startled by this sudden action. She asked, "What's wrong? Is a monster attacking us?"
Qin Feng didn't say much, only nodded.
Then he looked up at the sky, because he could sense that the killing intent was coming from the air.
The moment he looked up at the sky, the sky suddenly turned gloomy. Dark clouds gathered overhead, instantly blocking the sunlight, plunging them into darkness.
Qin Feng tensed up in vigilance. He could also sense that this enemy was very powerful. This move of "dark clouds covering the sky" was not something an ordinary person could do. Even as a cultivator, Qin Feng believed he couldn't achieve this.
To possess the ability to summon clouds and rain like "dark clouds covering the sky," his cultivation would have to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
With this "dark clouds covering the sky" technique, Qin Feng should have retreated. Such a powerful enemy was not something he could contend with in his current state. Although the Red Alert army was powerful, in such a one-on-one battle, they couldn't play much of a role.
For such a powerful and formidable figure, only by letting the Red Alert army charge forward and using his infinite money-farming ability to continuously produce troops could he contend with such a master. However, he couldn't do that now. Yet, his heart was not flustered at all, because he could sense that the enemy in the sky was weaker than him.
The reason the opponent could use a technique like "dark clouds covering the sky" might be due to some treasure, or perhaps the opponent was not a single person at all, but a monster capable of summoning clouds and rain, causing trouble.
In this instant, Qin Feng had already evaluated their respective strengths and knew he would not fail, which was why he did not retreat.
The dark environment did not hinder his performance. His perception was released to its maximum. Even without using his eyes, he could sense where that killing intent was!
Sensing the movement of that power, Qin Feng did not attack rashly. As the opponent got very close and the killing intent reached its peak, he directly swung the Peerless Good Sword in his hand and engaged in a head-on clash with the opponent.
Clang, clang, clang! The sound of metal colliding echoed.
The Peerless Good Sword in Qin Feng's hand fought back and forth with the opponent. Nine golden light swords circled around his body, confronting the power in the darkness. The nine light swords, combined with the Peerless Good Sword in his hand, created ten streaks of sword light that crisscrossed, fighting fiercely.
However, Qin Feng, with his slightly superior strength, gradually gained the upper hand. The power in the darkness sensed Qin Feng's might and quickly retreated, no longer engaging with Qin Feng. Instead, it focused on its target this time, the blood-red tree.
It directly wrapped its body around the tree and carried it away.
Sensing the action of the power in the darkness, Qin Feng realized what this guy was.
This was a mutated monster. Only mutated monsters would be interested in blood-red trees. During their struggle, this mutated monster realized it couldn't kill Qin Feng, so it intended to take the blood-red tree away directly.
How could Qin Feng let the opponent take his treasure?
So, he instructed Ye Shen, who was beside him, "Don't move here. I'll be right back!"
With that, he directly used Sword Control Flying and pursued the power.
As the mutated monster left, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and sunlight shone upon the earth again, as if nothing had happened. However, Ye Shen looked around and suddenly realized that the blood-red tree tied to an engineering vehicle was gone. At this moment, she also realized what had happened.
She murmured, "Wasn't that person just now a mutated monster? Oh my god! Are mutated monsters getting stronger and stronger? They're completely different from the mutated monsters at the beginning! Could this guy be the monster in the Level 3 spiritual energy gathering spot?"
