Austin was stunned when he looked down and saw hundreds of thousands of sea beasts jump out of the sea.
It was a well-known fact that sea beasts were highly reproductive.
Since there were all kinds of species in the sea, the astronomical number of sea beasts was astonishing.
Austin acknowledged that even though he was a strong cultivator, he couldn't handle a myriad of sea beasts at the same time.
"Fine. They win.
These sea animals are ruthless and really work as a collective group!" Austin murmured with a sigh.
He knew that it wasn't a good idea to continue hunting there.
Hence, he gathered his vital energy and activated the Thunderbolt Movement Skill. In the blink of an eye, he moved left, and disappeared leaving behind a vague shadow.
A few moments later, he had disappeared from the area.
Austin had planned to go to another place to continue cultivating the Beast Energy-extracting Skill.
Meanwhile, at the same time unknown to Austin, Laird and his team members were flying above the sea where Austin had just left.
They combed through the area inch by inch with great care.
Under Laird's leadership, the group had slain eight primary-level beast masters and a batch of level-eight and level-nine sea beasts within the past ten days.
They had also collected many valuable beast cores.
As for the beast cores, as long as they turned in some to the royal family, they could keep the rest for themselves.
Therefore, all the team members were excited.
'I got so many beast cores and some valuable parts of top-level sea beasts.
If I bring them back and sell them, I can make a lot of money, ' they thought.
The members were in high spirits at the thought of more beasts cores and were, therefore, looking to kill more sea beasts.
However, as the saying went, 'Don't count your chicks before they hatch.' Just then, a great number of sea beasts jumped out of the sea.
Hundreds of thousands of them exuding a ferocious, cold vibe leaped into the air to attack the cultivators.
Most of them were level-eight, level-nine or level-ten sea beasts. Some were even beast masters.
There were, of course, some that were below level eight.
Caught off guard, one team member at the medium stage of Imperial Realm got injured. His foot was pierced by a bone that a magical sawshark had released and blood kept oozing from the wound.
Screaming in agony, the injured cultivator soared into the sky with a deathly pale face.
"Let's get out of here!" Laird shouted at his members.
The sight of countless sea beasts scared the hell out of him.
'If we don't run away, we will not survive long enough to see another day, ' he thought.
Laird led his team members out of the area in a panic.
...
On the other hand, Austin had reached another area after flying for half a day.
He landed in an open field and as he glanced around, there was no sign of beasts or human beings to have recently inhabited the place. He heaved a sigh of relief.
'Perhaps I slaughtered too many top-level sea beasts, which infuriated their companions. So they worked together and attacked me for revenge, ' he mused.
Austin settled down and carried on practicing the Beast Energy-extracting Skill.
The more physical strength he gained, the easier it was for Austin to hunt sea beasts.
Five days later…
Austin's physical strength had increased up to a million pounds.
He was now ready and if challenged to battle a level-ten sea beast, he could beat it to death with a punch.
He was that sure of his newly gained strength.
After punching it, he could then refine its blood essence. Austin happily contemplated the level of his strength.
At that moment, even if his target was a primary-level beast master, he could slay it easily.
It was safe to say that Austin had no difficulty eliminating a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Master Realm with his current physical power.
Two days later, it became easier for Austin to kill sea beasts.
The number of sea beasts he had taken out daily increased as time elapsed.
He even destroyed more than a dozen mid-level beast masters.
Of course, it took him more time and energy to eliminate mid-level beast masters.
Moreover, he got hurt while dealing with several mid-level beast masters with a powerful battle force.
Three days later, his physical power had reached 1.3 million pounds.
