Chapter 332: Chapter 268 Not Going to Rest Properly_1

```

"Enough, enough." Seeing Katrina wanting to give him some additional boosts, Zheng Yichen hurriedly spoke. The blessings he already had made him quite powerful.

The role of a support is actually very important. As long as they can keep up with his growth, then in some battles, increasing his strength by even a tenth can be a transformative change. In battles within the planetary abyss, increasing his strength or even his physical toughness by a tenth might save him from accidentally stabbing himself in the heart.

Of course, at that time, influenced by demonic thoughts, if he were stronger by that extra tenth, he would definitely charge up the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills for a longer duration, enhancing the power of the subsequent attack to stab his heart after the battle had ended.

Outside the southern forest, some forest rangers looked into the depths of the forest with puzzlement. The monitoring station had sent some information about some abnormal disturbances deep in the forest, instructing them to contact some Hunters at the southern forest camp to be on alert.

"Could something terrifying have appeared?" one of the rangers asked nervously.

"If there is any real danger, don’t be afraid, the nearby military base will handle it. When the time comes, remember not to go up and do anything reckless, just find a place to hide," an experienced ranger advised. They were only responsible for the outer regions of the southern forest.

Taking down any dangerous extraordinary creatures that ran out could earn a reward, but compared to one’s life, the reward was insignificant.

The young ranger quickly nodded in acknowledgment.

In a nearby temporary camp, some Hunters who were resting also became vigilant. Armed with their weapons, they paid close attention to the situation inside the southern forest.

Deep within the forest, Katrina looked at the increasingly numerous extraordinary creatures with a bit of shock: "Are there so many extraordinary creatures here? I even saw a dragon...?"

"...This qualifies as a dragon?" Zheng Yichen gazed at a large lizard he had killed. It resembled a giant dragon only slightly, looking more like a mutant offspring of a true giant dragon and a lizard. Standing upright, it was less than three meters tall, with two fleshy bumps instead of horns on its head, and its wings so degenerated it could not fly.

The creature was vicious, and then Zheng Yichen speared it through the heart. Now, his thermal vision had greatly improved, allowing him to finely distinguish between heat sources when activated.

He could even see some of the energy flowing through the bodies of the extraordinary creatures, which also represented a type of ’heat source.’

"Maybe it’s a young one?" Katrina hesitated, approaching the ’dragon.’ The creature’s blood had been mostly drained by Zheng Yichen, who hadn’t entirely desiccated it during the process. So although it was somewhat shriveled, it was still usable.

"Do you need to process it?"

"Some materials from these special creatures are useful." Katrina explained. The reason her Blessing Magic had a boosting effect was precisely because she used special materials. Encountering a suspected dragonkin, naturally, she could not let it go.

Zheng Yichen’s black spear transformed into a giant saber, tearing open the chest of the dragonkin. Katrina looked at it and rolled her eyes adorably, "The insides are all useless now."

The dragonkin’s heart had completely dried up, and its internal organs were shrunken due to the lack of blood, evidently not valuable. In the end, what could be used were the fleshy dual horns on the dragonkin’s head and its skin.

"Are you done processing? Once you’re finished, I’ll continue," Zheng Yichen said as he took out some bait, attracting a new wave of extraordinary creatures.

The Hunters on patrol outside the forest also felt that something was amiss: "It seems like someone is dealing with the extraordinary creatures deep in the forest. Who’s so brave??"

There were many Hunters who ventured into the forest, but no one could be certain what strange things might exist deep within.

One might not crash, but a single crash meant there was no ’afterward.’

By noon, Zheng Yichen was resting on a tree stump, eating with a beautiful young girl beside him, while a few people lay scattered nearby.

The southern forest was a hotspot for anomalies, and that morning alone, they had encountered over a dozen. However, since the duration of these anomalies was not clear, Zheng Yichen avoided prolonged contact.

Aside from the anomalies, there were also anomaly seekers, and those who came through the anomalies weren’t just beast-like beings but also humans.

The extra people were not local Hunters. Since Zheng Yichen had encountered them, he helped them out a bit. In truth, there should have been more of them, but some weren’t kind. They saw Zheng Yichen’s group, comprised of young girls and a child, and thought they were easy targets.

They wanted to do something dangerous in the forest. To eliminate the danger and protect the forest environment, Zheng Yichen disposed of these hazardous elements.

"Shall we continue in the afternoon?" Katrina reached out and grabbed a lock of Zheng Yichen’s hair. He had started off with short hair, but after dealing with a large number of extraordinary creatures, Zheng Yichen’s body began to grow rapidly, and his hair had now reached past his shoulders.

```

All of this was exchanged for after a large number of extraordinary creatures in the southern forest had been killed.

"No need," Zheng Yichen shook his head, not only did his hair grow fast, but his nails also grew unusually quickly. He had already cut them several times, "The weakness has already been dispelled. What remains is just slow growth."

Having dealt with a large number of extraordinary creatures, the life force missing from his body had been replenished. Just like a body can’t inflate and grow back immediately, continuing to hunt extraordinary creatures could speed up the process, but no matter how much he accelerated, judging by the feeling of his bodily changes, he wouldn’t return to normal for a couple of months.

The ability of the "serpent’s exuvia" was useful, but the recovery period was just too long. If the recovery period were shorter, he could use it as a special refresh ability in battle.

"So... can we rest a bit longer this time?" Katrina asked, somewhat worried.

The image of Tia surfaced in Zheng Yichen’s mind, "The boss probably won’t let me rest properly. Let’s head back first."

Would Tia mind using ’child labor’? She probably wouldn’t care. After filling the shortfall in his life force, his power had also recovered quite a lot, although compared to his peak condition, now he was probably only at about forty percent of his strength.

Without muscles, the body of a child couldn’t exert much power. Even because his body was in a state of being redone, those body ’coefficients’ that far exceeded ordinary people were also affected. After all, he was now a ’juvenile’ rather than an adult. Even in the case of creatures like giant dragons, juveniles didn’t appear too strong.

However, his ability to manipulate elements could be used normally, unaffected by the physical factors. The existence of spellcasters had always been a version reason.

It didn’t matter whether his body was strong or not, as long as the spells he mastered were powerful enough.

Zheng Yichen was a practitioner of both martial and magical skills, but his ’spellcasting ability’ was quite behind his physical strength. Now that his physical strength was impaired, the two had evened out. It also happened that fighting these extraordinary creatures had significantly improved his cultivation of the Blood Asura.

The inner force of the Blood Asura wasn’t reduced due to his physical state; it actually became a bit stronger. However, the Blood Asura inner force was mainly for killing and couldn’t be as flexibly used as the inner strength depicted in some martial arts novels. Don’t even think about using it to heal injuries.

Daring to use Blood Asura to heal someone, that person could die a violent death or become mad within minutes. In day-to-day non-combat situations, Blood Asura inner force could be largely ignored, at most used for some extended detection operations. Touching objects was fine, even superficial touching of the body was mostly fine, but deeper contact would definitely cause problems.

"Wake those people up," he said.

Katrina nodded, walked over to those who were unconscious, took out some powder from the pouch she carried, and as the powder turned into shimmering light falling upon the sleeping people, they rapidly regained consciousness.

Some looked at Zheng Yichen in terror, both psychologically and physiologically showing fear. This kid had killed hundreds of extraordinary creatures in front of them, and they had also witnessed the danger of this forest.

Extraordinary creatures that could appear anywhere were deadly, yet they seemed to avoid Zheng Yichen, which made the child seem terrifying.

"Follow me. Someone will arrange things for you later."

"...Can we leave on our own later?" One person asked reluctantly. They’d been unwittingly brought to this world, chased by extraordinary creatures in a forest, and met a terrifying, kid-like figure. Had they known all this, they wouldn’t have carelessly touched that strange phenomenon.

"Of course not. You’re illegal residents in this world. Leaving won’t make your life easier."

Some hesitated to speak further, fearing their life wouldn’t be easy if they stayed. But Zheng Yichen was stronger than any of them, and in the end, they had no choice but to follow him out of the forest.

Outside the southern forest, Zheng Yichen looked with some surprise at the many vehicles parked here, including armored cars used in war, and even more astonishingly, he saw several tanks and a special vehicle equipped with rocket launchers.

"What happened?" Zheng Yichen asked a Hunter, who looked at him with a puzzled expression, then at Katrina standing beside Zheng Yichen and the people following behind him.

Zheng Yichen realized that his current childlike state was the reason the Hunter seemed strangely. He took out his phone and made a call.

"Hello? I need someone to come and pick us up. Yes, on the southern forest side."

"Someone will be there immediately," Ahn Qi said. It wasn’t long before two individuals associated with the Ahn family arrived. Although they were somewhat puzzled, they had received instructions to cooperate with Zheng Yichen and to ensure that everything that needed arrangement was taken care of.

As Ahn Qi drove on the road, she looked at the text message on her phone and raised an eyebrow. The message sent by her staff, whom she’d arranged, reported that they had taken in several otherworldly visitors. After initial inspection, two were ordinary people, and the remaining three possessed some special powers.

Ahn Qi handed the matter over to her subordinates to handle. She had encountered many such people before and didn’t have the time to meet these new arrivals personally.
