Chapter 433 - 275: Rapid-fire Reaping

Zou Feng queued up and entered the teleportation array without any trouble.

When the teleportation array activated, he had an experience very similar to when he was teleported by the Glazed Immortal Palace.

However, the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s teleportation array was likely of better quality, as he didn’t feel the dizziness and nausea from before.

When Zou Feng could see again, a lush, craggy, and very primitive forest appeared before his eyes.

Just by looking at the environment, he could tell that the inhabitants were most likely some uncivilized Alien Races.

Of course, this was normal. It was just a monthly test, after all; they couldn’t just throw them into a high-difficulty level right away.

Zou Feng was surveying his surroundings when the Token on his body began to vibrate.

He picked up the Token and saw a few lines of small text appear on its surface.

"Monthly Test Alternate Space: Endless Forest Sea!"

"Alien Races: Tree-man, Frogman, Snake People, and other low-level species that have not fully transformed. There is a certain probability of mutated variants appearing, with strength possibly reaching a level close to the Spiritual Energy Realm."

"Killing Alien Races will earn corresponding points. Mutated variants are worth more points."

"May you have good fortune in battle!"

After reading the lines and taking in his surroundings, Zou Feng couldn’t help but wonder if this so-called Alternate Space was something akin to a Sumeru world—a pocket dimension specially created by some great expert from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.

In other words, this world was created entirely by an Immortal Cultivation Expert.

The Glazed Immortal Palace was the same. Though the two places had different environments, they gave Zou Feng a similar feeling.

Furthermore, the fact that killing an Alien Race immediately converted into points displayed on the Token—didn’t that just prove that everything in this world was under the control of some great expert?

A completely controllable little world. No wonder the monthly test felt so much like playing an online game.

"Hey, Junior Brother, you must have just joined the Immortal Sect, right? I’ve never seen you before..."

Zou Feng was still observing his surroundings when a beautiful maiden with bright eyes and pearly teeth suddenly popped out from behind a boulder not far away, waving and greeting him.

"I’m Qin Fengwu, a disciple from Solitary Moon Mountain!"

"Taian Mountain, Zou Feng."

Qin Fengwu walked right up to him, acting unusually familiar and showing little wariness.

"Junior Brother Zou, you seem pretty strong. How about carrying your Senior Sister through this monthly test?"

"When the test is over, I’ll treat you to some tea and moon-gazing..."

As she spoke, Qin Fengwu winked suggestively, as if hinting at something.

The whole situation made Zou Feng feel even more strongly that this monthly test was just like an online game.

’Just because she’s a girl, she’s looking for someone to carry her and get a free ride.’

"No need. I don’t plan on teaming up with anyone," Zou Feng refused flatly.

’I’d have to be crazy to bring along such a dead weight. Besides, I’m being targeted by the Purple Cloud Association. Bringing her along would just be getting her into trouble.’

Qin Fengwu hadn’t seemed to expect Zou Feng to refuse so decisively. She snorted and said, "Just joined the Immortal Sect and you’re already this arrogant? Did you think I was the one trying to take advantage of you?"

"Teaming up to pass the monthly test is common sense. Acting like a lone wolf is cool and all, but you have to wonder if you’re tough enough to survive it!"

Seeing that the girl wasn’t leaving and was instead just standing there pestering him, Zou Feng fought back the urge to slap her and turned to leave.

However, he had barely taken a step when there was a commotion in the woods, and three Tree-men suddenly charged out.

These Tree-men had bodies like withered trees but possessed human-like heads and limbs, making them look extremely bizarre.

And they were not slow at all; the force of their pounce was not to be underestimated.

Seeing that Zou Feng was already surrounded by the three Tree-men in a triangular formation, Qin Fengwu, who had already retreated to a safe distance, couldn’t help but gloat, "Junior Brother Zou, if you need help, it’s not too late to beg me now."

"This kind of Tree-man isn’t so eas—"

Before she could finish, the three Tree-men suddenly and inexplicably exploded at the same time, blasted into fine dust.

Qin Fengwu was stunned. She had no idea what had just happened.

’If Zou Feng was the one who attacked, why didn’t I see anything?’

After a moment of shock, Qin Fengwu finally realized that the newbie she had randomly encountered was no ordinary person.

However, upon this realization, Qin Fengwu felt no shame for her previous words and actions, nor did she promptly slink away in disgrace.

Instead, overjoyed, she darted toward Zou Feng and said, "Junior Brother Zou... uh, Brother Zou!"

"Actually, I specialize in the art of dual cultivation. I can give my partner the ultimate experience, and it also provides considerable benefits for their Daoist Art cultivation..."

"If Brother Zou is willing to help me out during this monthly test, I’ll be your Daoist partner for a month, free of charge, after the test is over. What do you say?"

Zou Feng glanced at Qin Fengwu, a little speechless.

’Admittedly, the woman is quite attractive.’

’But why do I get the feeling that her method of survival in the Outer Sect is to run a business of paid dual cultivation?’

"No need!"

Rejecting her flatly once more, Zou Feng turned to leave again.

"Brother Zou, it seems you don’t believe in the power of the Daoist Art I cultivate..."

"Then how about we try it right now? You’ll know I’m telling the truth once you’ve had a taste!"

Zou Feng said impatiently, "Are you always this annoying?"

Unexpectedly, just as his voice fell, a large number of Tree-men appeared, and this time, there were many new varieties among them.

Frog-headed, human-bodied Frogmen; snake-headed, human-bodied Snake People...

’Actually, when I first learned there were Snake People here, I thought they would have a human head and a snake’s body. I even fantasized about whether there might be any exceptionally beautiful snake-women among them. Now, it was as if I’d been hit over the head—my fantasy was shattered.’

Seeing so many Alien Races suddenly appear, Qin Fengwu was still trying to pitch herself.
