After picking the giant bananas, they placed them into the Star Chart.

After all, they had acquired several Star Charts, filled with water. By releasing some, there was enough space.

Once done, they continued walking a bit further before finding a place to set up camp.

Once the campsite was settled, they started cooking dinner.

Three meals a day were quite important to them; they did not let them slip by if possible.

After dinner, Xu Yi killed the level 3 Fierce Beast and gave its brain crystal to Lu Ke.

For Lu Ke, a level 3 brain crystal was still quite useful.

Then, everyone went on to cultivate.

Currently, cultivation was the only thing they had control over.

Other matters they could not manage.

Night watch naturally fell to Xu Yi, since he had Spiritual Vision and could see thirty meters outside the camp.

Furthermore, only Xu Yi could handle level 3 Fierce Beasts.

At 3 a.m., the Black Qilin became restless, seemingly sensing something.

Xu Yi instantly emerged from the tent, observing the surroundings.

Then, the lightning also became restless, and other Fierce Beasts began to stir.

It went without saying, a level 3 Fierce Beast must have arrived.

However, Xu Yi’s worry was about how many level 3 Fierce Beasts there were.

Theoretically, he could handle three level 3 Fierce Beasts, but he hadn’t fought them in reality, so it was uncertain.

Yet Xu Yi did not wake Lu Ke and the others since their daytime cultivation had been taxing.

Suddenly, a silhouette appeared in Xu Yi’s vision.

A monkey?

Upon seeing the Fierce Beast, Xu Yi was momentarily stunned.

Indeed, it looked like a monkey, except its skin was covered with scales, not fur.

It cautiously observed the camp, appearing very alert.

Moreover, it was exceedingly agile, climbing up a tree after its observation to approach from above.

Xu Yi remained seated in the camp, undisturbed, with his three flying arrows floating before him.

After triple checking, there was only one.

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief; if there had been more, he would have needed to wake Lu Ke and Qin Fan.

Xu Yi could now wake someone individually without others hearing.

Just by entering the other’s brain with Spiritual Power, it would suffice.

But since there was only one, it wasn’t necessary.

The Scale Monkey was still highly cautious.

A rock, thrown by the Scale Monkey, slammed at Qin Chao’s Yao Ji.

Its clear intention was to kill Yao Ji.

The rock’s force was substantial; Xu Yi caught it with Spiritual Power.

Seeing Yao Ji fall, the Scale Monkey became instantly jubilant, swiftly sliding down the tree, heading straight towards Yao Ji.

As it approached Yao Ji, three flying arrows cut through the air.

The Scale Monkey seemed to sense something and turned back to glance.

Then, screaming once, it leapt onto the tree, attempting to flee.

But Xu Yi’s arrows flew incredibly fast, piercing directly through the Scale Monkey’s brain, ending its life, causing it to fall from the tree, crashing to the ground.

Xu Yi walked over to ensure its death, then retrieved his arrows and pulled out his dagger.

Breaking open its head, Xu Yi extracted the brain crystal inside.

The orange brain crystal was slightly lighter in color than yesterday’s, indicating that yesterday’s creature was indeed stronger than others.

Then, Xu Yi brought out a machete, chopping it into countless pieces, allowing the mounts to consume them.

This entire process took less than half an hour.

Xu Yi continued cultivating and no more Fierce Beasts appeared afterward.

By five-thirty in the morning, Xu Yi opened his eyes, glanced at the sleeping Lu Ke, and couldn’t help but smile.

"System, check-in."

Today marked the 152nd day of check-ins, with the monthly gift day drawing nearer.

After checking in, Xu Yi commenced to cultivate the Body Refining Technique.

A dozen minutes later, Lu Ke awoke as well.

Today, she added a few movements.

Now, she didn’t require Xu Yi’s help to complete the later movements.

Once finished, they packed up the bed and stored it in the tent’s Storage Space.

Exiting the tent, they packed the tent too.

After all, they must continue venturing deeper today, without stopping.

Others were also packing their tents.

Once tents were packed, they started practicing Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening.

Half an hour later, they began cooking breakfast.

"Xu Yi, why does the camp have a bloody smell? Did Fierce Beasts visit last night?" Qin Fan detected a faint scent of blood and asked Xu Yi.

Xu Yi straightforwardly admitted and laughed: "Well done, Old Fan, you can smell such a light scent of blood?"

Qin Fan nodded and quickly spotted where the Scale Monkey fell yesterday, curiously asking: "Level 3?"

Xu Yi twisted his neck and said: "Level 3, a monkey, no real danger."

Then, he took out the level 3 brain crystal and handed it to Lu Yao.

After breakfast, they continued advancing.

Two hours later, they encountered a Fierce Beast, resembling a large bear, standing nearly two meters tall.

It was gnawing on another Fierce Beast, unexpectedly encountering Xu Yi and the group.

Upon discovering them, it didn’t hesitate, charging at them fiercely.

Finding so much food at once made it rather excited.

In the territory of level 3 Fierce Beasts, it boasted substantial strength, never meeting a rival in its hunts.

Now, discovering so many creatures, how could it not be thrilled?

Four flying arrows soared towards the Fierce Beast.

Xu Yi’s flying arrows hovered in front without engaging the Fierce Beast.

As the four flying arrows neared, they halted.

"Half a meter away, so strong?" Qin Fan frowned, stronger than the Fierce Beast fought by the four of them that day.

Xu Yi was slightly jolted, then his three flying arrows also shot forth.

Likewise, they were held in place, but Xu Yi’s arrows were only 5 centimeters from the Fierce Beast.

This marked the difference between Xu Yi and them.

"Qin Yue, you all retreat, quickly." Xu Yi shouted and readied his spear.

Lu Ke, Qin Fan, Lu Yao, and Zhou Chun also drew their spears, dismounted and followed Xu Yi.

No question, this Fierce Beast was formidable, even immobilizing their non-lethal arrows.

Qin Yue and her group didn’t hesitate, swiftly retreating together, leading Xu Yi’s mounts away.

After all, they were only level 2 Mages, remaining would not aid them, they might get hurt instead.

Retreat was the most appropriate decision.

Executing Xu Yi’s orders was also their fundamental reaction.
