Chapter 2488: Chapter 2491: Let’s Divide Them (Extra Chapter for ’Jing Xiao’)

In a vast and dark chasm.

Over a hundred people were rapidly leaping and shifting within, with dozens of Necro Spirits gradually trailing behind them.

When they deemed the attraction sufficient, over a hundred people darted toward one end of the chasm, pursued relentlessly by thousands of Necro Spirits.

"They’re here!"

At one end of the chasm, Yan Li softly called out, and Lu Xian, Yan Hu, and others’ eyes lit up.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and stood up, watching the swarming crowd rushing towards them.

Swish!

As the hundred people were only a hundred meters away, Jiang Chen’s figure flickered and appeared directly above them.

Pausing slightly, once the hundred people approached Yan Li and the others, Jiang Chen formed a hand seal and shouted: "Nine Revolutions Qiankun Slash, activate the Formation!"

Buzz!

A mysterious array fluctuation spread in a radius of several hundred meters, revealing a transparent barrier that enveloped the thousands of Necro Spirits chasing the hundred people.

"Kill!"

Jiang Chen pressed a hand onto the top of the barrier’s Bagua diagram, which shone brilliantly and expanded instantly, then came crashing down!

Rumble!

A grey mist emerged within the great formation, filling it entirely.

"Disperse!"

Jiang Chen shouted softly, forming another hand seal, causing the formation barrier to flicker and vanish.

Whoosh!

Standing aside, Lu Xian waved his hand, releasing a tornado that instantly scattered the vast grey mist, revealing thousands of Necro Spheres on the ground, each glimmering with a faint glow.

"Hunting Necro Spirits like this is so satisfying! All thanks to Mr. Jiang!"

"The gains from this Necrotic Tide so far have already surpassed several others before this!"

"The Necrotic Tide hasn’t even ended yet, if things continue like this, we might become the biggest winners this time!"

"Don’t get too caught up, other villages have Array Masters too!"

"But none could possibly match Mr. Jiang’s mastery of formations!"

Cheerful laughs erupted from the mouths of the hundred strong individuals.

Jiang Chen glanced at everyone, smiled lightly, and leaped forward.

Swish swish!

Four figures flashed out, each taking out a Space Ring to begin collecting Necro Spheres from the ground.

It had been three months since the battle with Gui Ying and the others. During this time, the people of Wind Thunder Valley along with Yun Hai and Jiang Chen’s group traveled to all known Dead Spirit Gathering Points.

The people of Wind Thunder Valley were thoroughly convinced by Jiang Chen, whose array mastery led to unexpected gains!

During these three months, everyone had a clear division of labor. Over a hundred Integration Path Stage elites were responsible for luring the Necro Spirits, Jiang Chen handled the formation setup and extermination of Necro Spirits, Lu Xian blew away the death aura released by the dead Necro Spirits, while Yan Hu, Jin Hu, Yun Hai, and Yan Li were responsible for collecting Necro Spheres.

And during these three months, every time they stayed at a gathering point, they would send people outside to gather news, mainly focusing on the Central Region.

The Central Region not only had the Saint’s Relic soon to appear, but also some already visible relics. The relics of the Integration Realm had mostly been excavated, but several relics of Semi-Saint experts occasionally slipped into the void and hadn’t been fully explored yet.

Meanwhile, some gathering points in the Central Region were also within the scope of investigations. Those gathering points could never be taken by any single force alone.

To access those gathering points, cooperation among multiple forces was necessary, which would create larger commotions, thus allowing them to share in the benefits.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

After collecting the Necro Spheres, Yan Hu and the others leaped to Jiang Chen’s side.

Glancing at the sparse Necro Spirits in the vast chasm, Jiang Chen smirked and turned to Lu Xian: "Senior Lu Xian, I wish to train for a while now, you all can continue hunting the Necro Spirits here for the time being. After all, with the Central Region gathering strong individuals, the more strength we gain, the better our chances of survival!"

"As expected!"

Lu Xian promptly responded, having fully set aside any previous underestimation of Jiang Chen over these three months, treating him as a peer.

Once, when their people made a mistake in luring Necro Spirits and couldn’t retreat from Jiang Chen’s formation in time, being surrounded by nearly a thousand Necro Spirits, Jiang Chen used Spatial Shift to rush in and single-handedly brought that person out from among the thousands of Necro Spirits.

The battle power Jiang Chen displayed at that time truly made Lu Xian understand the frightening aspect of this young man. In these deserted plains, strength was not a reliance, battle power was!

Since then, Lu Xian had no trace of disdain for Jiang Chen and genuinely accepted Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, and Jin Hu into their fold.

"I’ll set up some protective formations. If you’ve finished hunting the Necro Spirits here and I haven’t finished my seclusion yet, you can leave on your own. I have your compass, and we can meet again in the Central Region."

Jiang Chen spoke softly, indicating that his training might take some time.

"Alright! If we’ve finished off the Necro Spirits here and Mr. Jiang hasn’t resurfaced yet, we’ll leave first."

Lu Xian chuckled, nodding lightly.

"Let’s divide the Necro Spheres now!"

Yan Li grinned, tossing something skyward with a wave.

Clatter!

A river of Necro Spheres formed in the sky.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Yan Hu, Jin Hu, and Yun Hai lifted their hands, throwing all the Necro Spheres they had gathered into the sky.

Soon, a dark cloud of Necro Spheres covered a hundred-meter radius, dimming the light considerably.

"There must be over a million, right?"

"Definitely more than a million!"

"Based on the agreed shares, our village will receive two hundred thousand!"

"So, we could get a few thousand?"

"Wow! A few thousand, that’s equivalent to several of our previous charges at the Necrotic Tide!"

The people of Wind Thunder Valley, their eyes wide with excitement, couldn’t contain their shouts as they looked up at the dark array of Necro Spheres.

However, no one harbored greed over the quantity of Necro Spheres, knowing the greatest contribution to their capture was made by Jiang Chen, with the distribution ratio already settled.

Most importantly, Jiang Chen had saved their lives more than once. If they got greedy now, even they would look down on themselves.

Hearing the discussions, Jiang Chen smiled faintly, eyes sweeping the sky full of Necro Spheres, quickly identifying his target.

Everyone was watching Jiang Chen, as it was understood he would make the first selection of Necro Spheres.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As Jiang Chen raised his hand, the Necro Spheres in the sky divided into three large piles and two small ones.

Lu Xian and the others paused at the unexpected allocation, a hint of surprise glinting in their eyes.
