Chapter 253: Chapter 188: Sharing Weal and Woe

Inside the Demon Beast Battlefield.

Fang Xiu followed along with Jian Ying, Fan Gang, and the others as they headed toward their destination.

Along the way, Fang Xiu learned that Fan Gang and his group were acting on a tip.

A Demon Beast was about to appear.

This "about to appear" was a prediction.

Based on a Demon Beast’s habits, available information, and some experience, one could roughly determine when, where, and what Level of Demon Beast would show up.

Of course, these Demon Beasts didn’t just materialize out of thin air.

Instead, the prediction was based on discovering traces of a Demon Beast, such as footprints.

From there, they could determine the Demon Beast’s Level and other details.

This required a great deal of experience.

Fang Xiu had no idea how to make such a judgment.

"I’ll have to learn a lot from all of you in the future!"

Fang Xiu wasn’t just being polite.

He genuinely wanted to learn from them.

The Skill of predicting a Demon Beast’s appearance was something Fang Xiu felt was worth learning.

"Don’t worry. Since Principal Xiang approved of you, you must have the ability. If you need anything in the future, just come to us!"

Fan Gang said.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, everyone!"

Fang Xiu gave a slight nod.

It was his first time in the Demon Beast Battlefield, and there was still a lot he didn’t understand.

"I’m a student of Principal Xiang. Since our teacher said you’re good enough, then you must be. No need for all the pleasantries!"

Fan Gang stated bluntly.

’So he’s one of Principal Xiang’s students!’

Fang Xiu hadn’t expected that.

He only knew that Li Mu was a student of Principal Xiang.

But now it turned out Fan Gang was one, too.

"Yeah. From now on, I’ve got your back!"

Fan Gang said with a smile.

Soon, the group arrived at the place where the Demon Beast was expected to appear.

"This should be the place!"

Fan Gang said, pulling out a device.

Fang Xiu wasn’t familiar with this device.

"This is a coordinate locator. After all, the landscape in the Demon Beast Battlefield changes from time to time due to all the fighting. You can’t rely on landmarks to determine your position!"

Jian Ying explained to Fang Xiu from the side.

’So that’s how it is!’

Fang Xiu understood.

The battles between Demon Beasts and the Awakened here could be incredibly intense.

What you see as a mountain today might be flat ground tomorrow, and the day after, it could be a bottomless lake.

This was the Demon Beast Battlefield.

No one could fix their coordinates using landmarks.

"This device can also detect a Demon Beast’s Spiritual Power. Unlike humans, they can’t conceal their own Spiritual Qi!"

Jian Ying added.

’It even has a function like that!’

Fang Xiu was surprised.

He hadn’t thought the device could detect a Demon Beast’s Spiritual Qi.

"What about other kinds of Demon Beasts?"

Fang Xiu asked, a little curious.

In truth, he was just worried that Kajimi’s presence would affect the data.

If the data was skewed, it could lead to the deaths of the Awakened here.

"It’s not that advanced!"

Jian Ying shook her head.

She casually took the device from Fan Gang and showed it to Fang Xiu.

She taught him how to operate the machine.

It was very simple, with just a few buttons and some text on it.

Coupled with some numbers, it was very clear to read.

As for the Spiritual Qi detection, that was even simpler.

If a Demon Beast got close, an alarm would sound, and its specific location would appear.

’So that’s how it works!’

Fang Xiu looked at the device in his hands, still a bit curious.

He tried it out and more or less got the hang of it.

"Careful, looks like a Demon Beast is here!"

Just then, another device in Fan Gang’s hand sounded an alarm.

It was just a single, buzzing sound.

The one in Fang Xiu’s hands also made a sound, and then a location appeared on its screen.

’Southwest?’

Fang Xiu looked toward the southwest.

He didn’t see any sign of a Demon Beast.

But since this was what the Awakened in the Demon Beast Battlefield used to pinpoint Demon Beasts, it was probably correct.

"Stick with me in a bit. It’s your first time in the Demon Beast Battlefield, so you might not be used to it. You’ll get the hang of it over time."

Jian Ying said.

Although she knew of Fang Xiu, it was only through hearsay.

She didn’t know about the time he, at Level 15, had hunted a Level 40 BOSS.

After all, most people in the Demon Beast Battlefield only cared about fighting, not much else.

Naturally, there wasn’t much gossip.

The only reason they knew about Fang Xiu was because his file had been given to them by their superiors.

Of course, it was just some basic information.

Things like Fang Xiu’s age, the school he graduated from, and his Level.

It mentioned a few other things, but that was it.

So, their understanding of Fang Xiu was that he was a relatively talented newcomer.

This being his first time participating in this kind of battle, and against a Level 40 Demon Beast at that, it was only natural to want to protect him.

"Alright!"

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

He was capable of handling it himself, but he still wanted to get a better understanding of the Demon Beast Battlefield.

If he needed to act, Fang Xiu wouldn’t hold back.

"ROAR!"

At that exact moment,

a roar echoed through the air.

It came from the southwest.

Fang Xiu quickly looked over.

There, he saw a Level 40 Demon Beast.

It was standing on high ground, looking in their direction.

"How can it be a Celestial Net Illusionary Serpent Lion!"

When he saw the Demon Beast that had the head of a lion and the tail of a snake,

Fan Gang, standing to the side, froze!

"What’s wrong?"

Fang Xiu asked, seeing how agitated Fan Gang was.
