Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

After Hu Yun finished speaking, she didn't care about Tang Wen's and the others' reactions.

Reaching out, she picked up a plate of snacks and stuffed them into her mouth: "Hurry up and have your people prepare the meal! We'll set off after eating!"

Set off?

Why does that sound so ominous?

Tang Wen glanced at her speechlessly, his mental power descending like night, directly concealing Hu Yun and the three white tigers.

The maids entered in single file; being only at the level of martial artists, they couldn't detect the empty chair beside Tang Wen, where a beautiful woman with terrible table manners was sitting.

The first few to enter skillfully removed the fruit plates and snacks.

Immediately, two maids with warm, damp cloths stepped forward and quickly wiped the table clean.

Then, they put down the wet cloths, replaced them with clean white cloths, and wiped it again.

Finally, they spread a silk, clean tablecloth.

The maids who came later placed plates of dishes on the table, gave Tang Wen a slight bow, and walked away fluidly.

The door closed.

Hu Yun reappeared.

The three white tigers were gone; they had returned to the neighboring courtyard to eat.

They felt that Tang Wen's food was good, but the chef next door had been specializing in cooking for exotic beasts for many years and had long understood the white tigers' tastes.

Feng Sanniang concentrated on reviewing the intelligence, saying as she read, "Going to the First Wharf is not as good as going to the Third Wharf."

"First Wharf" and "Third Wharf" were the names of the boat gang's wharves.

The dockworkers were almost all illiterate and from poor backgrounds, so the names of the wharves were naturally as simple as possible.

The closest to Ganshan City was the First Wharf, and downstream along the waterway was the Second Wharf. The subsequent names were arranged according to distance, mainly for convenience and ease of remembering.

"The river channel is winding and tortuous. The Third Wharf is in the north, where there is a lake that is rich in silverfish. Winter silverfish are the most delicious, and these days are when the winter fishing begins. According to custom, experts from several wharves near the boat gang will go there."

Hearing this, Hu Yun simply said, "Okay, let's wipe them out in one fell swoop to save running around!"

Tang Wen: "How many Fifth Ranks are there in total?"

"At least three, and at most four or five. However, there is only one Fifth Rank Peak, and he is stationed at the Third Wharf."

Hu Yun stuffed a chopstick of fatty beef into her mouth: "Good, it'll be convenient to kill them."

Feng Sanniang smiled wryly. She had grown up in Ganshan City and had never seen anyone so bold as to hunt Fifth Ranks.

Those were five Fifth Ranks.

If they broke away from the boat gang, they could occupy at least several hundred miles of territory and become a large force that even Ganshan City would find troublesome.

The key was that Tang Wen didn't have many people on his side.

Four white tigers, two Fifth Rank exotic beasts, plus Hu Yun.

At most, there were seven in total.

The Thunder Rock Crocodile Turtle was okay; its movement speed could barely keep up with Fifth Rank experts and should be able to protect Tang Wen.

But the Stone Dragon probably couldn't help much and could only serve as a backup.

Thinking of this, Feng Sanniang couldn't help but worry.

Tang Wen was still Seventh Rank!

A Fifth Rank killing a Seventh Rank was like killing a chick, wasn't it?

Feng Sanniang transmitted her voice to him, advising him not to take risks. Even if he went, it would be best to stay with the Stone Dragon in the outer perimeter underground.

Tang Wen comforted her with a few words, signaling her to rest assured.

He was determined to kill a few dying Fifth Ranks to farm some experience.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two rested briefly and quietly left Ganshan City.

Hu Ershi and the other three white tigers who were good at transformation naturally followed, and Hu Qi once again became Tang Wen's mount.

The Stone Dragon tunneled with the crocodile turtle to outside Ganshan City, and Hu Qi used the wind to bring them into the air.

In order not to make too much noise, Tang Wen had to expend more mental power to conceal the two exotic beasts together.

Concealment Skill experience +1, +1, +1...

The white tiger began to accelerate, and in less than a few minutes, its speed was faster than a Sixth Rank Golden Roc.

If Hu Qi could breathe fire, it would definitely be dragging a long white tail behind it.

Tang Wen's mental power output speed suddenly maxed out!

The speed of concealing the target was very fast, and the difficulty of concealing it naturally increased exponentially.

Night fell, and the Milky Way hung upside down.

Tang Wen didn't have time to admire it.

Concealing all the way, his mental power was empty, and everything in front of him was doubled.

Suddenly, in the distant front, a patch of lights appeared.

The lights were very close to the water surface, reflecting shimmering waves.

"Let's rest for a while."

It was Hu Qi who spoke.

It could feel that Tang Wen's condition was very wrong.

Sitting on its back, his body was unstable, as if he was drunk.

Hu Yun, under the moonlight cloak, had been taking the lead all the way. She turned her head and realized that Tang Wen had a problem.

So she took off the hood of her moonlight cloak, revealing her heroic and charming face, and approached him in the air.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Wen was squeezing his mental power to conceal himself and several exotic beasts, and he didn't notice what Hu Qi had said just now.

But as soon as Hu Yun leaned over, a lonely head appeared out of nowhere beside him, and he was startled. His body tilted, and he almost fell down.

Hu Yun was quick to grab him and came to Hu Qi's back to hold him.

"Your mental power is overdrawn. Everyone, prepare to land and rest for a while." Hu Yun put her arm around Tang Wen's waist, not minding letting his head rest on her chest.

Tang Wen's throat was dry: "It's too scary for you to just show your head."

Muah~

Hu Yun didn't argue, considerately straightening her little boyfriend's head and kissing him on the cheek.

They landed on the ground with the beasts, rested for a while, and after only an hour, Tang Wen opened his eyes in meditation, his eyes gleaming.

His mental power was completely restored.

The new master—the Fourth Rank Shadow Tiger's, seventy-two pictographic character meditation method. It replaced the original Bai family meditation method.

[43/72]

In Tang Wen's sea of consciousness, forty-three ancient characters lit up in turn, still far from complete cultivation.

Just now, Tang Wen had tried his best to use [Concealment], and now he had gained a full hundred experience.

[Concealment, Expert (……→10167/12000)]

According to Tang Wen's usual style, since he had discovered a way to farm experience, even if he couldn't raise the level of [Concealment] to Grandmaster in this operation.

He would come back and train with the Stone Dragon alone.

After all, thinking about going to the White Tiger tribe to accompany Hu Lan on adventures in a few months, he even had the heart to raise the Concealment Skill to Grandmaster or above in one go.

The night wind was cold. Seeing the lights in the air meant that the wharf wasn't far away.

The group flew for less than five minutes, and a large area of farmland appeared in front of them, which was the farmland on the outskirts of the wharf.

Prepare to sneak in." Hu Yun perked up.

The three white tigers neatly shrunk their bodies and jumped to her shoulders, one on each side. Hu Ershi was the most mischievous and wanted to jump on her head, but was grabbed and ruthlessly rubbed against the fur, turning it into a frizzy cat.

The stone road surface was mottled, and the river channels crisscrossed.

On the water, there was a small boat every mile or so, rowing all night to prevent the water from freezing.

The boat gang relied on the waterway for their livelihood, and even in winter, they didn't want to see the waterway freeze.

Tang Wen took a deep breath, and his nasal cavity was filled with a faint fishy smell.

"Sanniang guessed correctly. The Silver Fish Lake is ahead. They just finished fishing during the day and are now having a feast!"

Winter fishing was a grand event, and feasting was a rare celebration on the wharf.

For these three days, as long as it didn't delay fishing, everyone could drink freely!

Except for those unlucky enough to be assigned to row boats in the river, almost no one else needed to work.

The fragrance of fish and wine floated together, and Hu Yun narrowed her eyes: "Perfect, all five of them are there. I'll sneak over now, kill four first, and leave one crippled for you."

Tang Wen shook his head: "There are too many people! Let's wait until they each return to their residences before making a move!"

Hu Yun said indifferently: "Killing people is more troublesome than killing exotic beasts."

As the head of the White Tiger tribe's hunting group, Hu Yun's usual opponents were all kinds of exotic beasts.

Although high-level exotic beasts were smart, if there were no humans in the tribe, their wisdom would still be much weaker.

Facing the combination of Hu Yun and the white tigers, they would often suffer losses.

And Fifth Rank exotic beasts had keen senses, making it difficult to sneak attack them.

Having stayed in this environment for a long time, Hu Yun had developed a fighting style of facing them head-on and killing them all!

The waiting time was always particularly long.

The Milky Way rotated, from late at night to midnight, and then to early morning.

Hu Yun simply rested her head on Tang Wen's lap and fell asleep.

After a few hours, the banquet was finally coming to an end.

"Wake up, one Fifth Rank has left. Ershi, stay and watch him. Let's kill him first."

Hu Yun woke up rubbing her eyes.

Wine was the matchmaker of lust.

Without lust, the wine wasn't enjoyable. The Fifth Rank who left first went straight to the brothel for a drink.

With his status and position, he naturally entered the last small courtyard of the brothel.

Ten minutes passed, and the sound of lascivious music rang out in the room, accompanied by a maid playing the zither.

Tang Wen listened carefully and found that the faster the zither music was played, the louder the lascivious sounds were.

When the zither music slowed down, the sound of lasciviousness would be much quieter.

Quite the player.

Hu Yun took off her moonlight cloak and, together with the white tiger and crocodile turtle, placed herself in Concealment.

A black veil, under the traction of Tang Wen's mental power, lightly enveloped the entire small courtyard.

Every brick and tile in the courtyard was swallowed by the night.

Not knowing if she had sensed something, the lascivious music in the room stopped.

Hu Yun's eyes were calm. She was familiar with this situation.

The Fifth Rank exotic beasts that she regarded as prey could often sense something at the last moment.

Then it was just a forced kill!

It was just a little noisy.

Tang Wen reached out and pressed her shoulder, silently counting for half a minute.

The zither music rang out in the room, and then, the voice of the female protagonist singing the lascivious music changed.

Tang Wen suddenly realized: So they just changed people.

No wonder.

Fifth Ranks had strong bodies.

If they were looking for women below the extraordinary, they would indeed need to constantly change people.

As for why not look for extraordinary or Sixth Rank women?

It could only be said that there were only dead cows, not ruined land.

Men like Tang Wen, who dared to provoke Fifth Rank women at the Seventh Rank, were unique.

The wooden door opened silently.

Hu Yun led the three white tigers to sneak in.

The Thunder Rock Crocodile Turtle was huge and inconvenient to enter the building, so it stayed by Tang Wen's side as a guard.

"Who?"

"Bang!"

Accompanied by short, intense movements.

Tang Wen's mental power fluctuated for a while, and the experience of Concealment jumped instantly.

+79.

He concealed the movements of a Fifth Rank expert fighting.

The progress inside was very smooth.

In less than a minute, Hu Yun tied up the people inside and brought them out.

She also brought two female martial artists with her.

"The Fifth Rank is still alive?" Tang Wen was very satisfied.

A good start.

In his eyes, this was an experience pack.

Just now, the experienced Fifth Rank in the brothel was first attacked by Hu Yun with a thunderbolt, paralyzing his body.

Then, the three white tigers simultaneously used Wind Binding.

Hu Yun struck hard and directly beat the man half to death, causing him to faint in pain.

The group moved to the mountains outside the city.

The Stone Dragon had dug a cave a hundred meters deep underground.

In the quiet stone cave, the three white tigers joined forces to suppress the boat gang's Fifth Rank, and Tang Wen took the opportunity to continuously bombard him with the Black Night Divine Fist.

A senior Fifth Rank didn't even make a sound and died inexplicably.

[Contemplation Martial Art, Black Night Divine Fist, Expert (12000/12000)]

The experience panel popped up. After killing this Fifth Rank, the experience of the Black Night Divine Fist was finally complete.

[Extraordinary Ability: Darkness (Awakening Progress 92.13→97.13%)]

The awakening of the Dark Ability increased by a full 5 points.

Tang Wen was excited. Based on these gains, tonight's adventure was worth it.

You know, there were still four Fifth Ranks in the wharf waiting to be killed!

"Let's go, next one!" Walking out of the cave, Tang Wen was full of fighting spirit and ready to kill.

He was responsible for not letting the Fifth Ranks scream before they died, and the rest was left to Hu Yun and the white tigers.

Hu Yun had been outside the cave just now. Seeing Tang Wen come out, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes: "You seem to be different from just now."

Tang Wen was even more surprised. Whether it was boxing or the Dark Ability, he hadn't broken through yet, so he shouldn't have any obvious changes.

"I had some insights, I didn't expect you to see it."

Hu Yun nodded: "You are more in tune with the darkness, it should be an increase in the degree of awakening. Not bad, you are one step closer to the Sixth Rank!"

Tang Wen couldn't explain the sudden improvement, and Hu Yun didn't ask any more questions.

They acted again.

Hu Ershi, who was watching the wind, brought bad news.

Two more Fifth Ranks had left the banquet just now and went to the central area of the wharf together.

The two of them lived very close, and they were the guards of this wharf.

Two people, one old and one young.

The old one was the previous boat boss, now the supreme elder of the boat gang, with the strength of the Fifth Rank peak.

Hu Yun asked: "Who shall we kill first?"

Tang Wen frowned, the two lived too close.

The two houses were next to each other, separated only by a narrow garden.

And their actions were not completely silent.

The Fifth Rank just now made a little noise before being subdued.

These two lived so close, if either one made a noise, the other would hear it and become alert.

"The Supreme Elder is Fifth Rank peak, and the other is just entering Fifth Rank..."

Before Tang Wen finished speaking, Hu Ershi suddenly said again: "Wait! The last two Fifth Ranks have also left, one left by boat, and the other went to the casino."

Separated?

Then kill them first.

Hu Yun and Tang Wen looked at each other.

Killing these two was still smooth.

The experts of the Shipping Gang had also enjoyed a long period of peace. How could they have imagined that, having just finished a feast and returned to their residences or boats, before they could even dally with their beautiful concubines, they would suddenly be ambushed!

In the history of Ganshan City, such a thing had almost never happened during peaceful times!

Ambush a Fifth Rank?

A Fifth Rank was the representative of the highest combat power within thousands of miles.

Ambushing a Fifth Rank meant death if you lost, and not much benefit even if you won. What was the point?

With such ability, why not rob a treasury?

They couldn't understand it.

Thus, they died without figuring out what had happened.

Tang Wen happily took their experience packs.

His skills greatly improved.
