Chapter 940 The Top Predator, Entering the Middle Stage
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
During this half-moon, life is very bad for the beasts who live in the nearby lands.
But all the beasts involved in cultivation are not low in wisdom.
It's just that most of the time, they don't like to use their brains.
However, if they have their own survival problems, they will definitely start to think about it.
The beasts that originally lived in this land can be said to be carefree.
The territory has already been divided.
Spirit beasts have their territory, and fierce beasts have their territory.
Although it is inevitable to meet and fight, there is a tacit understanding between evenly matched existences, try not to offend the territories of beasts of the same level as themselves, and only bully some relatively weak beasts.
To a large extent, the beasts have achieved that the well water does not violate the river water.
As for the weak beasts being oppressed and hunted, there is nothing to say.
The law of the jungle is the basic rule of natural selection.
To a certain extent, there is a tacit understanding, and there is a delicate balance in the surrounding land.
But in this half month, the balance was completely broken.
In just half a month, there were a total of four first-time ninth-level beasts, two mid-level ninth-level beasts, and one beast at the peak of the ninth level.
The "victim" of the beast was either disembowelled or its head was split open.
It is no exaggeration to say that the "crime scene" was a mess.
This is actually nothing to beasts that retain their primitive instincts.
The beasts that originally lived in the surrounding land did not care much.
And in fact, when the first few "victim" beasts appeared, many carnivorous beasts happily came to the corpse to have a full meal.
Ninth-level ferocious beasts, this is not something that can be eaten casually.
Even for beasts of the same ninth level, it is difficult to successfully hunt and kill prey of the same level.
As the "victim" beasts gradually increased, the beasts living in the surrounding lands finally realized that something was wrong.
There are all signs that a top predator who likes to kill has appeared on the land where they live!
The top predator in the concept of beasts is a predator that only targets high-level beasts to obtain the maximum benefits.
As mentioned earlier, it is difficult to produce clear results when fighting beasts of the same level.
Even if there is a difference of one or two small realms, those who want to run can still run, and those who want to fight can arouse fierceness, and it is not necessarily impossible to fight and lose both.
This is not good for everyone.
Fighting for life is the "specialty" of fierce beasts.
But unless necessary, the ferocious beast would not hesitate to fight for its life.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.
Even if you successfully hunt your prey, if you are damaged, you will inevitably become the prey of other beasts.
Among the spirit beasts and ferocious beasts living in the surrounding lands, there are not a few predators.
After all, as long as it is not a herbivorous species, it can be called a predator.
But there is no way to find any top predators in this land.
The appearance of a top predator means that the entire area has become extremely dangerous.
As long as it is a beast living in this land, it may become the next "dinner" at any time.
Even more disturbing for the beasts, the top predators that may appear on the nearby land are quite easy to kill.
Normally, predatory beasts will have a buffer period of several months or even half a year after killing beasts of the same level for a full meal.
They take time to digest.
However, the apex predators that appeared on the nearby territory were different from ordinary predators.
Its existence seems to be purely for killing.
Starting from the "victim" beast that appeared at the very beginning, almost every corpse of the "victim" beast was well preserved, with no trace of eating at all.
How can this reassure the beasts living here?
More importantly, until today, they don't know what species the top predators appearing on their own territory, and how strong they are.
The beasts of the seventh and eighth levels are fine for the time being.
Those who died were all ninth-order beasts.
They are, barely, safe.
But the beasts of the ninth level are really having a hard time.
Not to mention worrying all day long, but also to be vigilant at all times to the troubles around.
Although no spirit beast has been killed so far, who knows what will happen in the future?
Half a month later, many beasts of the ninth rank were both physically and mentally haggard, and at the same time extremely sensitive.
This directly leads to more conflicts between them.
Even in gregarious groups of beasts, there are beasts of the same group that clash with each other.
On this day, another "victim" beast appeared.
The one who died tragically was a ferocious wolf beast with mid-ninth-level strength.
It was supposed to be at the top of the food chain, but it quietly became a corpse, lying alone somewhere deep in the woods.
When beasts found it, the body had already cooled down.
Another intact corpse was discovered, and many beasts were frightened, and at the same time, they rushed to tell everyone.
There was communication between beasts.
In the recent extraordinary period, they have even faintly developed to the level of "society", and have learned to inform each other.
...
In the cliff cave, the instigator of everything, Qin Zhe, was disheveled and had a floor plan drawn with stones.
In half a month, he has gained a lot.
Sneak attacking and killing eight single ninth-level beasts back and forth, the number of potential points on the status bar rose to as much as 600.
Qin Zhe has never been so "rich".
In order to ensure that every hunt can be successful, and that he can retreat safely without attracting the attention of other beasts, he specially drew this plan on the ground.
The drawing on the plan was specially customized by him according to the surrounding terrain and the distribution of beasts.
Having just had a full meal not long ago, he silently crossed out a wolf's head in the middle left of the floor plan.
During this half month, he hunts once every two to three days on average.
During the time he needed to digest, he was not idle, and would go out to "find" his prey from time to time.
This wolf head was the ninth-level ferocious beast that he killed earlier.
At the same time, it is also the last prey of Qin Zhe in this land.
It's not that they can be killed, they are all killed.
The key point here is that the beasts in the world were made nervous by him, all of them maintained a high level of defense all day long, not to mention, some of the single-runners actually learned to hold together, and even some fierce beasts who were afraid of death ran to seek refuge in the group of spirit beasts living in groups .
This change made Qin Zhe very painful.
Seeing that in half a month, he would be able to retire, but now he had to change places and start over.
How can it be so easy to start over?
It is necessary to re-select the appropriate boundary, and to observe the terrain and the division of the beast population, which will inevitably take a few days.
It will take at least three days for him to return to the entrance of the restricted area where he is now.
After all this, how much time will he have to be a "hunter" with peace of mind?
With a secret sigh, Qin Zhe wiped away the floor plan with a wave of his hand, and focused his thoughts on the status bar.
The gains of these days, he has not acted.
Firstly, watching the growth of potential points motivates him, and secondly, under the premise of careful planning, he can still kill the ninth-level peak beasts in one blow without any need to increase them.
Now that he is about to leave, it is obviously a good choice to add a point.
At this moment, there is an item of potential points on the status bar, with a total of 622 potential points, which happens to be an even number.
As Qin Zhe made the choice of adding points without thinking, a prompt popped up on the status bar.
Tips: Chaos value +311, spiritual network bonus 311, overall ability improved.
Tips: God and demon value +311, atavism process +3%, comprehensive ability greatly improved.
Two prompts popped up, giving Qin Zhe a very strong sense of promotion.
The double comprehensive improvement of comprehensive ability has allowed him to further increase his pure physical strength after opening the physical body divine treasure.
In terms of body feeling, his pure physical strength has reached a huge 4.5 million catties.
The increase of 311 spiritual channels has greatly increased the content and quality of the star power in his body.
At the same time, it also allowed him to step into the mid-ninth stage.
But the peak is still far away.
Qin Zhe had expected this point.
From the beginning of the eighth level to the peak of the eighth level, the potential he spent on chaos value is almost this amount.
Wanting to rely on 311 points of potential to complete the leap from the first entry to the ninth level to the peak of the ninth level is tantamount to nonsense.

Looking at the status bar with his mind, Qin Zhe was a little reluctant to leave.
According to the efficiency of the first half month, he should be able to enter the ninth-order peak as a "hunter" for another half month.
But thinking about the current situation in the surrounding land, he had to go again.
Staying here is pure waste of time.
Feeling sorry for himself for a while, Qin Zhe got up and walked out of the cave.
