Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 500: Xu Yi the Adventurer
Qin Fan hoped that Xu Yi could be a bit steadier.
It’s better to advance a little slower than to rush in.
Xu Yi glanced at Qin Fan and then said, "This situation isn’t something only we are experiencing now. To advance from level 5 to level 6, we also have to go through such things. So, if we’re not going now, we might as well go home."
Then Xu Yi didn’t say anything further and went straight back to his tent.
Qin Fan’s caution, he could understand, but he wouldn’t support it.
If you don’t take risks, don’t expect to complete the 500-day challenge. Just go back, take some compensation, and enjoy life.
When they go back, they’d each have a few million.
A global trip and living comfortably for a few years is still possible.
Even if it’s worse, it’s more comfortable than staying on this alien planet, right?
"Brother, aren’t you usually fearless? What’s going on today?" Qin Chao looked somewhat puzzled at his big brother; after all, such things have never happened to Qin Fan before.
"Who isn’t afraid of death, but your brother is still not afraid. I actually wanted Xu Yi to be a bit sober, but it turns out I’m the one who’s not clear-minded." Saying this, Qin Fan shook his head helplessly.
He had been overly cautious. If Xu Yi’s analysis was correct, only those who take risks can possibly advance. Otherwise, you’d just cling on in the safe areas.
Could Xu Yi’s analysis be wrong?
Probably, Qin Fan thought the chance of Xu Yi being wrong is very low.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chao immediately understood. He got up, patted Qin Fan on the shoulder, and then returned to his tent.
Was their choice risky?
Of course, it was extremely risky. After all, they hadn’t even reached the peak of level 4 yet. Facing the peak level 4 Fierce Beasts would still be very arduous.
But, if they don’t take this risk, can they break through to level 5 before the 200th day?
Obviously, that’s impossible.
Then, who knows, on the 200th day, if the place where they appear isn’t surrounded by level 5 Fierce Beasts?
If that’s the case, even if they were at the peak of level 4, could they handle level 5 Fierce Beasts then?
By that time, wouldn’t they still be eliminated?
So, is there a difference if they get eliminated now compared to then?
Everyone’s mood was quite complex.
After all, tomorrow they’d face a brand new challenge.
If they win, they advance.
If they lose, they might be eliminated, only to make a comeback on the 200th day. Or they could directly die.
So, they trained desperately, only going to sleep late at night.
The night was quickly replaced by daylight.
"System, check-in."
Today was the 187th day of check-in.
In two more days, Xu Yi could claim a weekly gift pack. Following that, there are gift packs for the 196th and 203rd days.
On the check-in day 203, which is the 198th day of the challenge, Xu Yi planned to claim the gift pack, have breakfast, and then press his Star Chart to return once to human society.
After check-in, Xu Yi got up to train his Body Refining Technique.
After finishing the training, Xu Yi and Lu Ke walked out of their tent and then tidied up their camp.
The others also packed up their tents.
Seeing Xu Yi and the others packing up the camp, Li Kang ran over immediately.
"Xu Yi, are you heading to the level 5 Fierce Beast Territory?" Li Kang asked nervously, since if Xu Yi and his team left, staying behind would be dangerous for them.
"Yes, but our transaction continues. You can still camp around 50 from us." Xu Yi looked at Li Kang and said calmly.
Although this deal could continue, it still depended on whether Li Kang and his group had the courage to go on.
"Are... are you breaking through to level 5?" Li Kang felt it was somewhat unacceptable, thinking he worked hard enough, yet the gap was still so wide.
Xu Yi shook his head. In his team, only he had reached the peak of level 4; the others still needed time to accumulate to reach the peak of level 4.
"However, to break through to level 5, you must go to the level 5 Fierce Beast Territory. Staying in the level 4 Fierce Beast Territory, you’ll never break through to level 5 in this lifetime. Whether to go or not, you decide." Saying this, Xu Yi glanced at Lei Jie and Lavinie. Xu Yi felt this information should be shared.
"Does it have to be this way?" Li Kang quickly asked.
Xu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, at least from my perspective, that’s how I see it."
So, is Xu Yi’s judgment correct?
On Spirit Blue Star, at least, that’s the pattern, and his judgment is very accurate. All the Fierce Beasts follow this pattern; only by entering higher-level Fierce Beast Territories can one break through.
"I’ll give you ten minutes. We leave in ten minutes. Whether to follow, it’s up to you." After saying this, Xu Yi had no intention of saying anything more.
Hearing this, Lei Jie immediately went back to organize his tent.
After all, he had been there with Xu Yi yesterday and knew the situation. Training there indeed had obvious effects.
Li Kang hesitated for a moment, then went back to pack up his tent.
Could he not go?
If he didn’t go, Lei Jie would break through to level 5, and what would be left for Li Kang at that time?
Lavinie had the same thought, unwilling to lag behind.
Ten minutes later, everyone set off.
To accommodate Li Kang and his group, Xu Yi and his team didn’t ride their mounts but walked forward. This also allowed Lu Ke and the others to experience the change.
Once they arrived, they reached the same point as Lei Jie and his group did yesterday. After a certain point, they couldn’t move further, instinctively coming to a halt.
"Xu Yi, are we in the level 5 Fierce Beast Territory now?" Lu Ke asked, feeling she could still move a bit further, but considering the others were almost collapsing, she stopped.
"Not yet, we still need to go another 200 meters to reach the level 5 Fierce Beast Territory. For now, we’ll set up camp here." Xu Yi explained, allowing those who could continue forward to train further, while those who couldn’t would stay at the camp.
Xu Yi took out his tent, and the other tents were not needed for now, as his alone could accommodate 11 people for training inside.
Li Kang and his group were around 30 meters away from Xu Yi’s camp due to their limited strength, so close was all they could manage. Lei Jie was a bit closer because he was stronger.
You could say everyone’s strength was very visibly displayed here.
So, could Xu Yi bring people into the level 5 Fierce Beast Territory?
The answer is—yes.
