Chapter 263: High-Quality Prey

“Wang Ye!” Nante’s eyes turned red.

He knew that Wang Ye had the talent of Resurrection, but with such a lightning strike, the origin of thunder would tear everything apart. Even the star core would be shattered.

Anger surged wildly, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

At this point, the black realm’s strong spatial restraints became his helping hands instead.

The dislocated space continued to distort, and even the Hell Prison Spear that was overflowing with spear energy became illusory, like particles.

“Space Distortion?” The Dark Energy-level expert who had the upper hand earlier had a change in expression and was a little flustered.

Light condensed intensely on the pitch-black spear tip before appearing from the ever-changing space and stabbing his body.

In an instant, the mystical engravings shone brightly. Like a devouring demon, the Hell Prison Spear’s power was unleashed at 100%!

Tear!

Nante, who was covered in blood, seemed to have understood something at this moment.

At this moment, the remaining 10 cosmic-level warriors had already rushed over from all directions, covering the sky and the earth.

Even though Nante had unleashed an explosive attack, a mere cosmic-level 3 warrior wasn’t enough to make them flee.

On the contrary, the probability of the other party being surrounded and killed was extremely high!

Luckily, the captain had managed to drag that terrifyingly powerful advanced cosmic warrior with him to hell before he died.

Otherwise…

Swoosh!

Wang Ye appeared out of thin air.

The cosmic warriors were all shocked, feeling as if they had seen a demon. Their legs felt heavy.

The monster that crushed their captain had been resurrected!

Wang Ye seemed to have grown out of the Brahma Equipment Suit, which was an extremely eerie scene.

In an instant, the Nine Sharp Blade and Thundercloud Four Transformations Saber shone brightly. Combat energy burst out, quickly taking the heads of the cosmic-level warriors, one at a blade.

Fast and concise!

No one was a match for him.

With Wang Ye’s current strength, he could even instantly kill a beginner Dark Energy-level expert, let alone these cosmic warriors who were only as good as the Munro Guards.

If they split up and fled, he might not be able to do anything, but as long as Nante was left as bait, they would definitely gang up on him.

He annihilated them in one fell swoop!

Corpses and pools of blood littered the ground.

The battle quickly ended with Wang Ye and Nante’s victory.

ii

F*ck! You scared me to death!” Nante cursed.

He and Wang Ye had gone through life and death together. Having experienced so much together, they were closer than real brothers.

“Don’t you know my talent?” Wang Ye said with a smile as he searched the storage space of the Dark Energy-level experts.

“How did you do it?” Nante was still in disbelief. “1 just saw you turn into ashes.”

“1 have an Immortal Body.” Wang Ye didn’t explain much.

The power of the lightning strike was about the same as the full-force strike of the Martial Extreme Dojo’s martial instructor. It wasn’t to the extent that his body and soul would be destroyed.

That being said, it was really accurate!

Fortunately, his talent of Immortality’s resurrection abilities had been greatly improved. Even if his body was shattered to the point that only one cell was left, he could recover in an instant.

Although his talent was of little help to his strength, his life-preservation ability was first-class. In particular, it greatly increased his survivability in such a unique area where danger lurked everywhere.

This was also one of the reasons why he dared to venture deep into the black realm.

“We’re rich! Seven pieces of Dark Energy level 4 equipment and thirty-one pieces of Dark Energy level 3 equipment!” Nante grabbed the pieces of equipment one by one.

Although they were mostly damaged, it would still be a huge sum even if they were only sold at 60% of the original price.

“They’re just a bunch of thugs from the Silverjade Cosmic Nation’s Tongyu family.” Wang Ye had already used the Manipulation Spell to check their memories. “To think an intermediate Dark Energy-level warrior can’t even afford Dark Energy level 5 equipment.”

A piece of Dark Energy level 5 equipment was equivalent to a hundred pieces of Dark Energy level 4 equipment.

The Enzo Silver Spear that he had sold previously was worth 8000 cosmic dollars.

In contrast, a piece of Dark Energy level 4 equipment was only worth a hundred cosmic dollars on average. They were dispensable.

As for Dark Energy level 3 equipment, unless it was at the supreme grade like the ones he was wearing, they would only be worth a few cosmic dollars.

Thirty-one pieces of Dark Energy level 3 equipment were not even worth a single piece of Dark Energy level 4 equipment. They were only worth thirty-one coins.

“It’s close to 1,000 cosmic dollars.” Nante disagreed.

Even though it was convenient to earn money in the black realm, he had only earned 700 cosmic dollars per cosmic day when he collected dark crystals.

Now, just one battle had already surpassed the gains from the previous day.

Wang Ye took out a bunch of shiny black crystals from the storage space and placed them on the ground. The exquisite light flickered like shining stars.

Nante’s eyes widened. He was a little dumbfounded. “This, this much?”

A large number of dark crystals, all different in size and shape. There were fingernail-shaped ones, triangular-shaped ones, strawberry-sized ones…

Nearly a hundred of them!

Even if they were only worth 100 cosmic dollars each, the sum was already over 10,000 cosmic dollars!

“Around 16000 cosmic dollars,” Wang Ye said. “Only a small portion was collected by themselves. The rest were stolen. They have many pieces of Dark Energy-level equipment in their storage space too, though they’re all at level three.”

Nante revealed a look of disdain, “They’re only picking on Cosmic Lifeforms.”

“It has something to do with the atmosphere of the Silverjade Cosmic Nation,” Wang Ye said. “This cosmic nation is very strong. Among the 105 cosmic nations in Taishi Starfield, its overall strength can be ranked in the top 10. It’s extremely belligerent and is basically hostile to other cosmic nations.”

To put it simply, their citizens were used to killing. If their identity as cosmic citizens was removed, they would be no different from cosmic pirates.

“In the end, we’re the ones who have benefited.” Nante shrugged and smiled.

Wang Ye said, “If you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet. Although they only pick on the weak, nothing is foolproof. Even if they don’t die in our hands, they will definitely be killed by other cosmic warriors with super combat prowess.”

“We can only blame the black realm for being too profitable,” Nante sighed.

Wang Ye nodded.

Just by casually collecting some dark crystals, one’s daily profit would exceed a thousand cosmic dollars.

It might not be much in the black realm, but in the cosmic, a beginner Dark Energy-level expert’s net worth would probably only be so much.

“Be prepared. This kind of thing will happen again and again. It won’t just happen once,” Wang Ye said to Nante.

The two of them were only cosmic-level, Nante was even an elementary cosmic warrior.

They seemed too weak, and it was extremely deceptive.

Even if some families and factions were very careful, how could they resist when they saw “high-quality prey” like the two of them?

It was as if a supreme-grade woman had delivered herself to his door.

The second battle came very quickly.

Wang Ye and Nante were like two lambs in the black realm. Anyone who saw them wanted to ravage them.

However, when the lambskin was torn apart, two ferocious tigers were underneath.

“Search.” Wang Ye and Nante had a clear division of labor.

One searched through the storage spaces while the other searched for equipment.

The harvest this time was slightly inferior to the first, only totaling an income of less than 10000 cosmic dollars.

“Their equipment is not good enough.” Nante was already starting to express disdain.

“It mainly depends on identity,” Wang Ye said. “A Dark Energy-level expert from a territory or colony planet who works for a cosmic nation’s family will naturally have an average income. It’s normal for an intermediate Dark Energy-level expert to be unable to afford Dark Energy level 5 equipment. It’s the same even if one is a disciple of an ordinary family with not much status or talent.”

Not all cosmic humans born in territories could be as successful as Munro

Ruiwen. In a cosmic nation family, one had to have to have some skills to be successful.

H

It’s still better to be a cosmic adventurer. We have freedom and money.” Nante sighed.

“That’s only on the surface,” Wang Ye said. “At least it’s safer to work for a family in a cosmic nation. You don’t have to work too hard either. The cosmic adventurers have to kill others to earn bounties. They have to fight against cosmic pirates every day. The death rate is very high. Basically, those who survived are all very capable. We naturally don’t have to worry about money.”

“If I had to choose, I would still be a cosmic adventurer,” Nante said.

“Because we’re used to freedom,” Wang Ye said with a smile.

“Is there anything that has the best of both worlds?” Nante asked.

“Yeah,” Wang Ye said. “If you show enough talent, the seven supreme factions and the eighteen top factions will fight to recruit you. It’s safe and you’ll have opportunities. All the paths will be paved for you. The cosmic humans value geniuses very much.”

“Do you think we are geniuses? 1 feel like I’ve already grasped some of the tricks of Space Distortion,” Nante grinned.

“Genius…” Wang Ye sighed and stood up. He shook his head with a smile. “I’m just a mediocre person now.”

“You’re mediocre? Then what am I?” Nante was stunned.

“An idiot.”

Their starting point was low, so they had to work harder!

To change fate, one had to do what others could not.

Wang Ye didn’t know how many cosmic-level warriors dared to enter the black realm, but at least he and Nante dared to risk their lives.

Three cosmic days passed quickly, during which they experienced four battles.

The total harvest was close to 50000 cosmic dollars.

Not every cosmic nation family would make a move when they saw them.

Some turned a blind eye, some probed with words, and some smiled and made friends.

The deeper they went, the lower the chances of fighting.

No one was stupid.

How could two cosmic-level brats who had the ability to barge in here not have some skill?

They might have the protection of a supreme treasure, have concealed their original strength, or have an extremely powerful backer.

Moreover, the intense energy fluctuations during the battle would attract lightning strikes.

Without absolute confidence, smart people would not easily make a move.

Watching as another batch of cosmic humans left them, Wang Ye sighed silently.

They were no longer good “prey”. They hadn’t eaten “meat” for the entire day.

“Should we go back?” Wang Ye looked at Nante. “These people are too smart. There are more idiots near the periphery.”

“If you had such intentions, we would have earned a lot by now.” Nante glanced at him.

Wang Ye smiled.

Indeed, all of this was done in passing. His true goal had never changed.

Compared to the treasures of the black realm’s master, let alone tens of thousands of cosmic dollars, even tens of millions of cosmic dollars were nothing!

Of course, if there really were tens of millions of cosmic dollars, over 99.99% of the cosmic humans in the black realm would go crazy for them.

“Have you noticed that the number of cosmic families we’ve encountered in the past three cosmic days has increased?” Wang Ye said.

“It seems to be so.” Nante pondered.

“It doesn’t just seem to be so, it’s a fact. We met four teams on the first cosmic day,” Wang Ye said. “On the second day, we met six teams. Today, we met nine teams!”

“So, what does this mean?” Nante asked.

Wang Ye said, “If the black realm is like a mountain, the factions of the various cosmic nations will rush in from the periphery. The higher we climb to the top, the smaller the area will be. Therefore, the chances of encountering each other will be higher. It means that we’re approaching the target..”
