After hesitating for a while, he ultimately didn't dare to take action.
"Qingmeng, hurry home." On the side, Chen Tianyu spoke, not angry, but rather comforted that his son could have the intention to help. It's just that his third brother was a bit too impatient in this regard.
"Why can Qingyu leave, but we can't?" Chen Qinghe retorted.
"If you were in the Blood Coagulation Realm, you could go too!"
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go." Off to the side, Chen Xingzhen interrupted them and spoke. The group did not hesitate and left for the depths.
After the group left, Chen Xingzhen turned to Chen Qinghe and Chen Qingmeng and smiled, saying, "Hunting is very dangerous. Your strength is not enough.But since you also want to contribute to the clan, I have other tasks for you here, I don't know if you can do it."
"Of course we can!" Chen Qinghe replied confidently.
After sending them away, Chen Xingzhen prayed to the Divine Tree once again.
This time, more people were sent out to hunt, and there was also Qingyu who was a warrior of the Blood Coagulation realm. It seemed like there would be no problem.
Ji Yang silently observed. As time passed, he gained a deeper understanding of the Chen family. It seemed that Chen Tianjing, such a stable person, had a rebellious son.
Just as Ji Yang sighed, he suddenly realised that the absorption of the moonlight seemed to be much faster. Yesterday at this time, his Qi had only increased by 0.1.
Only half an hour had passed, and his Qi had already increased by 0.2.
It seems like only a small difference but, the overall gains are actually twice as much.
This made Ji Yang both surprised and delighted.
To confirm his speculation, Ji Yang waited for another hour.
When Ji Yang saw that his Qi had increased by 0.4, he was ecstatic.
The speed at which he absorbed the moonlight had indeed increased.
This meant that he could absorb 2.4 Qi in one night, which was a significant improvement.
The reason for the increase in speed, Ji Yang guessed, was probably because he now had two clusters of luxuriant branches, so the area for absorbing moonlight had also doubled.
This was very reasonable!
Growing more branches and leaves would require more Qi.
Now, it seemed that his approach yesterday was not wrong. If he had kept his blood energy, he would not have been able to achieve this change.
...
"The exit of the tunnel is ahead, everyone be careful."
In the tunnel, a group of people walked quietly and cautiously, paying close attention to their surroundings.
Although it was a secret tunnel, it was not small and could accommodate three people side by side.
This also made it easier to carry the game after the hunt without having to cut it up.
However, since the exit of the tunnel was built deep into the Chaotic Burial Mountain, they had to be careful to avoid any beasts hiding in the shadows.
Especially near the exit as they would be exposed.
The beasts had a keen sense of smell, and some of them were very intelligent, so they couldn't let them find the location of the tunnel's exit.
At the exit, a massive bluestone slab blocked the way. Chen Tianjing, who was at the very front, felt his blood rush to his arm and pushed with all his might, revealing the world behind the bluestone slab.
What came into view was a sunken valley surrounded by a dense forest, which would reduce the chances of the exit being discovered.
Looking at the dark surroundings outside the valley, Chen Qingyu's eyes were filled with a hint of excitement.
In the past few months, he hadn't hunted in Chaotic Burial Mountain.
In the battles with the Li family, he was often at a disadvantage just because the Li family had two martial artists who had already entered the Blood Coagulation Realm.
Today, he could finally flex his muscles and feel the power of the Blood Coagulation Realm.
Just as Chen Qingyu was about to confidently step out of the exit, Chen Tianjing stopped him, "Qingyu, wait, sprinkle some magnolia powder!"
With that, Chen Tianjing took out a porcelain bottle from his chest and sprinkled the grey powder on everyone's clothes.
Magnolia Powder, a powder made from medicinal herbs, can be used to eliminate one's own scent, thus avoiding detection by wild beasts.
Chen Qingyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing his hesitation.
He was already at the late stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm. He felt that whether he used this magnolia powder or not would not make much difference.
However, he couldn't resist Chen Tianjing's persuasion, so he reluctantly sprinkled some on himself.
After everyone was ready, they slowly stepped out of the exit.
Before they left, someone put the bluestone slab blocking the exit back into its original position.
There were many ferocious beasts in the depths of Chaotic Burial Mountain. Although it was dangerous, it would prevent people from following them. As long as they encountered suitable ferocious beasts, they could take action at any time.
The group had been out for about half an incense stick's time, but they still hadn't seen any ferocious beasts. This caused Chen Tianyu, who was at the very front, to slightly furrow his brow while saying, "Something is wrong. Yesterday at this time, there were many ferocious beasts. Why haven't we seen any today?"
"Everyone, be careful!"
Hearing Chen Tianyu's words, the people behind him also had solemn expressions on their faces.
"Wait! Over here!"
At that moment, Chen Qingyu suddenly raised his hand to signal, his eyes shining brightly as he quickly walked in a certain direction.
Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu looked confused because they didn't feel anything unusual, but they still called for the others to quickly follow.
Soon, they all stopped behind some scattered rocks.
Under the faint moonlight, a ferocious beast resembling a leopard with a horn on its head and a light red fur covering its body appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"A mid-stage beast of the Blood Coagulation Realm!"
Seeing the ferocious beast, everyone's eyes narrowed and there was a hint of joy in their eyes.
No one spoke. The long-time hunters already had a set of secret signals for communication during a hunt, and the beast in front of them was just right to be their prey.
Under the command of Chen Tianjing and Chen Tianyu, everyone gradually began to retreat.
The reason for retreating was to avoid startling the beast. They would be stealthy so it doesn't escape.
In the depths of the Chaotic Burial Mountain, if one were to hunt for prey without considering the surroundings, they would become the prey.
After the group retreated a bit, they slowly began to surround the area from all sides.
At that moment, the beast on the ground had not noticed the presence of the group and was licking its own fur.
Chen Qingyu, who was standing on one side, did his best to suppress his qi that was about to burst out.
As the person with the highest realm in the hunting team, Chen Tianjing and the others also regarded him as part of the main force this time.
When the others approached later, this beast would definitely panic and flee to the place where there were no people.
And the gap that was left was where Chen Qingyu was. When the beast was panicked and had no choice, it would be his turn to make a move.
Although the plan was simple, he couldn't afford to be careless.
