He shifted his gaze away from the egg and looked at the bone tablet. When he first obtained this item, he only briefly read through it. The item inside was all-encompassing. It was basically an encyclopedia from the Primordial Wilderness.
Now that he did not lack food, Ye Chen planned to study it carefully here.
...
What Ye Chen did not know was that while he was reading the Great Wilderness Handbook, the World Chat went completely crazy.
"We will jointly report Ye Chen. This person is extremely cold-blooded. He attacked more than 30 people without any warning."
"Fortunately, our mutated beasts are faster. Otherwise, no one would know about this."
"A few days ago, a secret realm appeared. Almost everyone in the area went there."
"As for him, Ye Chen, he's fair and clean. I didn't expect him to have such a dark heart."
"We thought he was weak. Let him walk behind us. If there's danger, we'll go."
"However, when we took out our treasures, the Heaven-devouring Demon Clansmen immediately started killing us."
"Blocked the entrance of the Mystic Realm and used the two Divine Beasts to force us to hand over the treasures."
"Of course we wouldn't listen to him. We didn't expect him to kill us."
"We fought to the death. Ye Chen made use of the two Divine Beasts to seize the opportunity. We were injured…"
"If not for the death of the brother who brought the heavy treasure and delayed Ye Chen's speed, I'm afraid all of us would have died under Ye Chen."
"There are too many of such scumbags!"
These few hundred words made Ye Chen look like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Initially, no one believed their words. They only confirmed the story after knowing that those who escaped later also spoke up.
All of a sudden, the power of public opinion fell on Ye Chen again.
"Really? Ye Chen is actually such a person?"
"Previous poster, what do you know? Don't you know that it's hard to read people's minds?"
"Oh my god, I'm also in this area. Fortunately, I didn't go there at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to send this message."
"This is too savage. Could it be that before coming here, Ye Chen was one of them?"
"I think so. Let's not even talk about killing someone. Even killing a chicken would look creepy to me, let alone thirty people."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…"
"I'll just watch and not comment on it."
"Observation+1."
"There's a problem. When Ye Chen appears, can't you see his two Divine Beasts?"
"I was also watching. This matter is debatable."
Rumors stopped at this position. There were still quite a few people who didn't quite believe what that person said.
There was no reason. Ninety percent of them were killed while being in a group. This was too ridiculous.
"I'm with Ye Chen. I have something to say."
"Ye Chen is very domineering, fierce and ruthless. He did kill so many people and all the treasures are indeed with him."
"However, that brother from earlier spoke too much."
"The truth is that the five of us and Ye Chen were the first people to go in."
As this person stated the facts objectively, he didn't say anything else.
The other three also stood up and agreed with this statement.
For a moment, there were two explanations. Those who were eating melons were more in favor of the last one.
It was because this was the strength that two Divine Beasts should have. At the same time, there were many people who despised the person who said those words.
"Big brother, that's not right. Are you using us as cannon fodder?"
"There are really all kinds of fish in the sea. There were so many people and 80 to 90% of them were killed. Why are they only talking here?"
"If I had the ability, I would do the same thing as Ye Chen. I won't attack unless I'm attacked."
"Even if it's their fault, how can Ye Chen bear to kill so many people?"
"The person above must be a girl. Don't be a saint in the vast wilderness. What era is this? Survival is the only thing, no matter what methods you use."
"I agree with the previous poster. In this era where people eat raw meat and drink blood, you're talking about morals to me?"
"This lady is probably quite upright. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so brainless."
Many people agreed with Ye Chen's way of doing things. There were also quite a number of people who now accepted the survival principles of the wilderness.
Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.
"Where's your mother?"
As long as he lived on, there was no bottom line to speak of!
If it was during the period when he had just arrived, Ye Chen's actions would definitely not receive support.
At that time, humans were still protected under the Protection of the Wilderness. They did not experience the feeling of survival of the fittest and survival of the wisest.
In the few days since the Protection of the vast Wilderness disappeared, some of the more powerful people had gradually adapted to this life.
Only the weak would still insist on staying in the World Chat.
At one point, you would need food and resources. Who could help you?
...
Meanwhile, Ye Chen was studying the Great Wilderness Handbook seriously in the tribe.
There was only one cultivation method recorded within, which was the forbidden cultivation method mentioned by Hei Wen. When Ye Chen read up to here, he was shocked by the various techniques within.
He really could not imagine what kind of monstrous genius would be able to think of such a method to cultivate.
It recorded the extraction of the Blood Essence of wild beasts and fierce birds, coupled with special medicines to refine the body. The stronger the beast, the greater the benefits the cultivator could obtain.
"Could this senior be a transmigrator?"
Ye Chen could not help but exclaim.
This was because it already involved genes and other advanced things. They used medicines to stimulate the Blood Essence of vicious beasts and reach the limit that the human body could bear.
Then, he would combine the medicines and inject the Blood Essence into his body to absorb it, thereby obtaining certain abilities of the vicious beast.
The specific ability depended on how much you could absorb. Although it was not a 1: 1 replication of the beast's ability, it could be used indefinitely. There was a premise that your body could withstand it.
Ye Chen looked at the Divine Phoenix playing not far away.
As if sensing Ye Chen's gaze, the Immortal Phoenix looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
"Master, there's something wrong with you."
"My instincts tell me you're not pure right now."
The Divine Phoenix's voice became more and more hoarse.
"Where did you learn all these words?"
Faced with such words and the Divine Phoenix's tender voice, Ye Chen's face turned red as he reprimanded.
What gave him a headache was that this cultivation method was only theoretical and had not been put into practice.
Hence, Ye Chen wanted to be the first guinea pig. This made things difficult…
"Let's fight!"
After a long while, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Naturally, he had his reasons for doing so. Logically speaking, the pets produced by the Mutated Beast Eggs were related to his blood but he could not rule out the possibility that they would have their own thoughts when they reached adulthood.
Even though it wouldn't backfire on him, he would still have to go out. At that time, he wouldn't be able to put up much of a resistance. That was why it was true that he needed to get stronger.
This thing had to be thought out in advance. As the saying went, when sharpening a spear at the last moment, even if it wasn't fast, it would still be deadly. However, this was the vast wilderness, there was no time for you to sharpen it. When the time came, you wouldn't even know how you died.
"It's just that this material is a little difficult to obtain…"
"I've never even heard of it, let alone after all these years—"
Then, he encountered another problem. There were really too many medicinal herbs required.
There were many things that Ye Chen had never heard of before. Furthermore, would the names of medicinal herbs from tens of thousands of years ago be the same as now?
"Aye…"
Other people's most difficult problems were the easiest for him but he was the exact opposite.
He did not lack Divine Beasts. He was about to have a third one.
As a powerhouse of the vast wilderness, he really did not have any medicinal herbs.
"Looks like I can only request in the trading area/Exchange Option."
Thinking about this, Ye Chen opened the system chat interface again. The moment he opened it, 999+messages made him a little confused. He opened a few messages and saw that they were all baffling.
"Boss Ye Chen, I'm on your side. I agree with what you're doing."
"All the best. Follow your own path and keep walking. You will eventually reach the other shore."
"Don't care about what others think. I support you."
"Do not live in the eyes of others. You are you, my eternal god."
"Big boss, big boss, have you seen the World Chat? It's all about you."
"Are you really as cold and heartless as they say?"
"You don't even have the basic ethics of being a human. Are you even fit to be a human?"
"Every dog has its day. Don't bully the poor."
"What goes around comes around. There's always someone better than you. Sooner or later, you'll end up in someone else's shoes."
"..."
"What the hell is this?"
The more Ye Chen read, the more confused he became. Was someone trying to smear his reputation again?
Then, he opened the World Chat and realized that they were all discussing how to survive. After scrolling for a long time, he finally reached the starting point.
"A bunch of spineless cowards!"
"What a waste of my time."
After looking at it for a long time, Ye Chen finally said this. He thought it was something important. He did not take the matter of the Mystic Realm to heart at all.
Other people wanted to kill him but they realized that he was stronger than them. In the end, they said that it was a misunderstanding.
'Do you want me to shake hands with them and say that it's alright?'
After sorting out his emotions, he directly opened the Transaction Area and hung up the search information for medicinal herbs.
After what happened just now, when he hung the items in the trading area, he was careful. He hung ten items and three of them were not on the list at all.
There were also some things left on the medicine list that he would hang up in the future. He didn't know how many people had transmigrated to this world. Who knew how many people there were.
It was inevitable that some scholars would collect a copy of others things when they saw them. Then, they would secretly work hard and come out to shock everyone.

...
There were more than ten types of them. Some were fabricated by Ye Chen and some were useful materials. Afterward, he waited quietly for others to find them.
Yes, according to his story in the World Chat, there were definitely many people looking for him!
As expected, the World Chat became lively again.
"Ye Chen is doing something again. What is he doing? Why is it all herbs?"
"Yeah, what's he up to now?"
"Logically speaking, he doesn't lack anything. Could this be a treasure he brought out from the Mystic Realm? He wants to refine pills?"
"Brother above, have you read too many cultivation novels? You even brought up alchemy."
"Are we worse than cultivators? Nothing is impossible."
"That's the logic. But isn't the problem how to actually refine and concoct?"
"This method is all controlled by Ye Chen. If we want to learn it, the probability is one in a hundred billion."
"..."
The chat group naturally caused a stir when Ye Chen listed so many items.
Many people had recorded what he had posted. Even if they didn't, there was nothing wrong with remembering it.
Ye Chen had long known that this would be the case and had held back a hundred million moves. When he saw them talking about this on the World Chat, he, who was sitting quietly in the tribe, smiled.
"Come on, come on."
During his free time, Ye Chen would look at the Mutated Beast Egg every minute. There was still no reaction. They were all trash mutated beasts.
To the current him, a mythical beast that was not of the SSS rank simply did not catch his eye.
Little did he know that there was a group of people not far from him who had their eyes on him. If Ye Chen was here, he would definitely recognize them as the people who escaped.
"What do we do now?"
They looked at each other and couldn't come up with an idea.
Previously, when he tried to frame Ye Chen in the World Chat, he was completely furious. Now that he had calmed down, he felt a lingering fear.
They had already completely offended Ye Chen. In the World Chat, these people were also notorious. No one would trust them. It was like being abandoned by the world and becoming a rat on the streets, hated by everyone.
"Who knew that Ye Chen was so strong? Dozens of people were not his match. The key was that he only used one Divine Beast!"
"Now that the treasures of the Mystic Realm have been taken away by him, I'm afraid he'll only become stronger after some time. At that time, we'll only have death to walk on."
"I have an idea here. However, if it fails, there's basically no way for us to survive."
"Tell me about it!"
