Chapter 2246: About the Wilderness

“How is that possible?”
The middle-aged man probably guessed that Han Fei wouldn’t die, because he was a monster who could fight eight Sky Openers alone.
From the beginning, they knew that those who dared to partic.i.p.ate in the Sky Opening Realm’s ten-thousand-year-old compet.i.tion couldn’t be weak.
But at this moment, the combat power Han Fei showed subverted their imagination. This made them realize the difference between mortals and Heavenly Talents.
Although the power that this middle-aged man triggered from his Origin Sea was only 5%, it was still a terrifying astronomical figure.
!!
Han Fei said, “In comparison, you are not smart. Although I may ask for a lot, you can at least higgle! You think you can kill me? Who gave you this unrealistic idea?”
In the blink of an eye, Han Fei’s figure disappeared, and the void was distorted.
The middle-aged man was shocked. “Not good, it’s ultra-light speed. Retreat, retreat, retreat ~”
“Pfft!”
Someone didn’t have time to react and only felt that someone had penetrated the depths of his soul. The moment he exploded, he thought to himself, I’m in the Sky Opening realm. I can revive. As long as I revive, I’ll immediately surrender and pay.
However, this person didn’t know that his life mark had been destroyed by Han Fei, and he had no chance of revival.
Boom! Boom!
After Han Fei pierced through three Sky Opening powerhouses in a row and killed one of them, the octopus roared that it was going to condense a demonic bead and fight to the death. Han Fei appeared in front of them again.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised that Han Fei didn’t continue to attack, but for whatever reason, he quickly said, “If you want resources, I’ll give them to you.”
Han Fei smiled. “That’s it! Harmony brings wealth. Why do you have to fight?”
The middle-aged man was horrified. He, who had always been a hunter, had no power to resist a real powerhouse at all. This person’s strength made him feel unprecedented fear.
“Is this the level of a Heavenly Talent who is going to partic.i.p.ate in the Ten Thousand Year Compet.i.tion?”
The middle-aged man had never met such a person in his life. If he was already so strong before he turned his Origin Sea into a star, how strong would he be after he did it?
Han Fei didn’t intend to kill these people because these people had just let them go. Whether it was because of fear or other factors, at least they had done so.
As for why he wanted to get it back, it was because he had been robbed for no reason. As the Human Emperor, he could give money away, but he definitely couldn’t allow anyone to rob him. This would make him lose face.
In the end, the middle-aged man only gathered 90,000 kilometers of resources. Of course, these resources were not much for Han Fei. The further he went in the Sky Opening realm, the more resources he needed. This small sea monster fortress could gather 110,000 kilometers of resources for him, which was already beyond Han Fei’s expectations.
At this moment, Han Fei stood on the head of the big octopus and said casually, “Show me your sea chart.”
The middle-aged man didn’t dare to be negligent. He immediately took out a jade slip and said, “Fellow Daoist, this sea chart covers two large wanderer camps and spans half a light-year of sea area. It’s the best sea chart I have.”
Han Fei scanned it with his perception. On this sea chart, there were indeed two large wanderer camps. One of them was their previous goal, the Magic Moonlight City. Among them, there were 1,009 islands, 117 ordinary wilderness camps, 203 large wanderer s.h.i.+ps, 58 sea monster fortresses, and 1 mobile castle.
Among them, the wanderer s.h.i.+ps, the sea monster fortresses, and the mobile castles all had no fixed positions. They could be anywhere in this sea area. This light-year distance was equivalent to their territory.
However, Han Fei still felt that the range of half a light year was a little ridiculously large.
Even if he had mastered the ultra-light speed, it would only be three times the speed of light. It would take him at least two months to cross such a sea area. If it were an ordinary Sea Establisher, it would take half a year even if they traveled at the speed of light. But how could an ordinary Sea Establisher be so fast? This meant that most people might need three or five years to cross such a sea area.
Among them, there was a large wanderer camp, which was only about eight days’ walk away from his current location if he traveled at the speed of light.
Han Fei immediately understood that this must be the first battle of their trial.
According to the sea chart that Han Fei had mastered, there were more than 160 islands and 23 ordinary wanderer camps between the Chaotic Wasteland and that wanderer camp.
There must be many places like Dream Island in this sea area.
Han Fei couldn’t help but think that maybe the crisis Mo Qi mentioned was just the ruthless suppression of the outside world on the guys from the Chaotic Wasteland. Han Fei estimated that although the people who came out this time were all Heavenly Talents, at least one-fifth of them would be eliminated in this sea area.
Of course, behind this elimination was rapid growth. Only between life and death could one grow so quickly. It could be seen that the 150 people selected by the City of Scavengers were not the real number of people partic.i.p.ating in the Ten-Thousand-Year Compet.i.tion.
Han Fei estimated that it would be lucky if half of the people could reach the Divine Capital Dynasty. Han Fei even suspected that even one-third left would be great.
Walking down such a distant sea area and experiencing so many difficulties could indeed create some Sky Opening Realm powerhouses.
Unfortunately, such a trial was meaningless to Han Fei. The only benefit was that Han Fei could find some people to practice with and temper himself. Since the wilderness was so dangerous, there must be a lot of battles. Perhaps he could reach a complete balance between his physique and soul before the Ten Thousand Year Compet.i.tion.
Although he didn’t reach the Extreme Dao, he wanted to experience the power behind the Dao of Balance.
Han Fei said, “Since you already know that I’m going to the East Sea Divine Realm to partic.i.p.ate in the Ten Thousand Year Compet.i.tion, do you know how far this place is from the Divine Capital Dynasty?”
The middle-aged man shook his head with a bitter smile. “If you walk in a straight line, it’s about eight light-years. Unfortunately, I’ve only been there once. This journey is too dangerous. Along the way, I was captured by sea monster fortresses, detained by mobile castles, and fought in various wilderness camps. Fortunately, I survived, so I formed such a small sea monster fortress.”
“Heh ~”
Han Fei couldn’t have felt worse. How big was this Sea Realm? Was it so far away from the Divine Capital Dynasty? Han Fei wondered how the people who came with him would react if they knew that the Divine Capital Dynasty was so far away.
For the first time, Han Fei felt that 50 years was very short. If he wasn’t careful, he wouldn’t be able to make it.
As for the experiences that the middle-aged man mentioned, Han Fei didn’t care. There were too many dangers and opportunities in life. As the saying went, accidents would happen. He also wanted to see what the so-called mobile castle was like.
Even the sea monster fortress had a Star Transformation-level powerhouse. The mobile castle was probably guarded by at least a powerhouse who was going to reach the longevity realm. It might even have a Monarch. This couldn’t be underestimated.
Han Fei had many questions, so he planned to ask the middle-aged man.
Han Fei said, “Since you use the Origin Sea of this octopus as your settlement, aren’t you afraid that this octopus will eat you and use the power of his Origin Sea to suppress and obliterate all of you? At that time, you will be a great tonic for him.”
This time, the octopus said, “I’m a Companion Spirit.”
“Uh?”
Han Fei couldn’t help but look at the middle-aged man, thinking to himself, This octopus is actually this person’s Companion Spirit? Then this person is more powerful than I thought.
If this middle-aged man tried his best to fight him just now, it might have taken him some time to beat him.
The middle-aged man said, “Under normal circ.u.mstances, only your Companion Spirit is the most trustworthy. As for others, as long as they trust me or vow to me, they can stay in my sea monster fortress permanently. We will be one, living and developing together.”
Han Fei was surprised. The weak usually attached themselves to the strong. Didn’t this mean that there were actually many more people in the big octopus?
Han Fei couldn’t help asking, “How many people are there in your settlement?”
The middle-aged man could only respond, “About 80,000 people, but not many of them are above the Sea Establishment Realm. Every time we fight, only the strong can fight, so as to show our strength.”
Han Fei learned it. No wonder it was called a sea monster fortress. It turned out that more than 80,000 people lived in this octopus.
No wonder the middle-aged man didn’t dare to fight him to death. If things went wrong, many people would die.
However, this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. He had killed a Sky Opener, which would definitely cause the strength of this middle-aged man’s Sea Monster Fortress to decrease greatly. But there was nothing he could do. They should have listened to him and paid him earlier just now.
Han Fei said, “Go! Continue to hunt as you should! Not everyone can find your position like me, and not everyone can fight ten alone. I’ve robbed you today. If you dare, you can replienish your resources soon. This is a trial. The big shots won’t care.”
The big octopus and the middle-aged man said goodbye to Han Fei respectfully and quickly fled.
It wasn’t until they ran far away that they felt horrified. They felt that they were lucky to survive this time.
The big octopus said, “Maybe this person left the Chaotic Wasteland for the first time and didn’t know the danger of the wilderness. Otherwise, we would have been dead.”
The middle-aged man also nodded and said, “He’s too strong. He must be a peerless powerhouse nurtured by the super forces in the Chaotic Wasteland. G.o.d knows how such a person found us.”
Letting the big octopus leave, Han Fei placed the resources in his Origin Sea but didn’t continue forward immediately. Instead, he entered his Origin Sea to cultivate.
For ordinary people, it would take at least a month or even two months before they could perceive the nearest large wilderness camp.
In the past two months, he might as well cultivate in his Origin Sea.
