Andrew’s purpose for this trip was the monster core.
If he wanted to obtain the monster core, he had to use his spiritual power to kill the monster before it could react.
One also had to conceal one’s own aura in the vicinity of a hundred meters around the demon beast.
When these conditions were combined, even the king of seventh-grade grandmasters, Chief Charles, could not do it.
But Andrew was an exception.
This was because seventh-grade demon beasts already had intelligence and spiritual power.
The range of their spiritual power was not too large or small, around a hundred meters.
If Chief Charles followed him and let the monsters sense danger approaching, the success rate of obtaining the monster core would drop from 90% to 10.
Maybe not even 1%.
At this moment, Andrew was stepping on the body of a giant python.
“Black-striped python!”
The body was more than 30 meters long and two meters wide.
Such a powerful black-striped python, a seventh-grade demon beast, was instantly killed by Andrew with his Eye of Spirit.
When the black-striped python died, it was still resting. It died without knowing anything.
And in Andrew’s hand, he was weighing a dark purple crystal the size of a baseball.
“This should be the demon core!
“It’s the same as the picture on the Internet.”
As he was thinking, the system notification suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations on killing a seventh-grade demon beast. +5,000 strengthening points.”
After obtaining the demon beast materials, he received about 3,000 strengthening points.
As for the black-striped python’s demon core, it was 30,000 strengthening points.
The market price of this seventh-grade demon core was 10 billion. However, just as he had guessed, the strengthening points should be specified by the system itself.
To be honest, it was a bit of a scam.
However, compared to simply killing demon beasts and gathering materials, the strengthening points were much faster.
He looked at the thing in his hand.
The grade seven demon core had a deeper color and seemed to only be slightly transparent.
However, when he held it in his hand, he could clearly feel the power contained within the demon core.
It was extremely dense.
It could be considered the essence of the power of a grade seven demon beast.
No wonder the demon core was needed to make a divine weapon. The power contained in this thing was completely incomparable to that of any complex metal.
However, Andrew thought that he could easily obtain a grade seven demon nucleus.
The success rate was close to 100%.
Obtaining a grade seven demon nucleus was like looking at the lines on the palm of the other hand. It was just a matter of raising one hand.
However, getting a grade eight demon core…
It wasn’t such a simple matter.
Chapter 86 - Harvesting Demon Cores

An eighth-grade demon meant an eighth-grade demon beast. If he wanted to get close without letting the other party sense danger, his mental strength was still insufficient.
With this thought in mind, he could only obtain demon cores from seventh-grade demon beasts anyway.
He would not think about eighth-grade demon cores for now.
He directly set off and headed to a mountain area 20 kilometers away from the Half Moon Mountain.
On the map, there was also a seventh-grade demon beast there.
“A cat demon beast that evolved from a bobcat!”
After a while, Andrew stepped on the corpse of the seventh-grade bobcat and looked at a brown demon core the size of a baseball in his hand.
He had obtained another seventh-grade demon core.
He kept one for his own use.
The remaining one was sold to Chief Charles.
Reasonable.
Ten billion, easily obtained.
Just as he was rejoicing in his heart, Andrew suddenly frowned.
He felt a slight tremor from the ground. Could it be…
This place was nearly 100 kilometers away from Boston.
In front of him was the dilapidated town.
This movement was somewhat abnormal.
Andrew frowned. He stepped on the Kunwu Blade and flew high into the sky.
He looked at the source of the earthquake.
Sure enough, just as Andrew had guessed, it was really a beast tide.
Densely packed demon beasts were rushing out of Dong Mountain.
In the sky, on the ground, everywhere.
If a patient with trypophobia saw this scene, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
The demon beasts that rushed out of Dong mountain varied in size, but they were densely packed together in front of each other, running wildly in the direction of Boston City.
“There are close to 10,000 of them. The weakest demon beasts are at least of the second grade, six of the seventh grade, two of the eighth grade… ninth grade?
“That’s not right. To be able to command such a large-scale demon beast horde and have eighth-grade demon beasts charging within it, there must be a ninth-grade demon beast commanding them from the shadows!”
Raising his head, he could still clearly see the demon beast at the front even though they were tens of kilometers away. It was a flying bird. Its body was 20 meters long, and its wingspan was close to 35 meters.
It was the Black-crowned Golden Eagle!
The speed of a second-grade demon beast running at full speed was about 30 ms, so the speed of the demon beast army should not be very fast.
This place was about 100 kilometers away from Boston. It would take about half an hour for the beast tide to reach Boston. 20 minutes later, they would arrive at this dilapidated town.
However, Andrew was puzzled.
“Strange. Isn’t Venerable Wuji dead? This Black Panther King wasn’t starting the beast tide anymore, but now, it’s suddenly at it again. Why is that?”
Previously, Andrew had learned from Senior Johnson’s analysis that Black Panther King and Venerable Wuji must have come to some sort of agreement to start the beast tide.
But because Venerable Wuji was dead, Black Panther King didn’t continue to start the beast tide.
After all, there was no benefit in relaunching the beast tide.
But at this time, at one o’clock in the night, the beast tide suddenly moved out, which made Andrew unable to think of a reason.
“Could it be…”
He secretly guessed in his heart.
There was only one possibility.
The leader of the evil warriors in the Massachusetts region, Venerable Wuji, had died. There was no one to lead the evil sect in the entire Massachusetts region.
The Heavenly God Sect had sent other people to lead the Massachusetts region.
And at this time, the beast tide was suddenly launched. This newcomer should have reached some agreement with Black Panther King again.
While thinking, Andrew suddenly moved.
He headed toward the shabby town not far ahead.
This was the place where Venerable Wuji had died.
It was also the place where the beast tide had to pass.
Starting the beast tide was not a good thing for others, but for Andrew…
There was nothing more exciting than this.
With so many monsters, how many strengthening points would he get!
However, this news was a disaster for Boston.
Because the ninth-grade Sword Saint, Senior Johnson, Custer, and some powerhouses who had come to support Boston had all returned.
The beast tide actually erupted at this time.
…
Andrew knew that he had to stop the bea
st tide.
Otherwise, Boston would be finished.
He had only lived in his swimming pool villa for a few days, so it couldn’t be trampled by these monsters.
Whoosh!
In the air, Andrew arrived at the abandoned town and landed on the top of a mall.
From the discovery of the beast tide to the arrival of this dilapidated town, Andrew only took five minutes.
This meant that Andrew still had fifteen minutes to set up the trap.
Thinking of this made Andrew excited.
Finally, he could use his talismans.
Just thinking about it made him thrilled. “Stopping the entire beast tide by myself. If this kind of behavior were to be spread out, I’m afraid that it would shock the entire martial arts world. However, the power of humans is limited. With my strength, even if I were to use my full strength, there would still be some beasts that I’d miss!”
Andrew took out a stack of talismans from his body.
There were a total of three types of talismans.
The talismans were about the size of a piece of A4 paper, made of special paper.
One-third of the talismans were light blue, the other two were fiery red, and there was also dark blue.
Among them, the light blue ones were water talismans.
The fiery red ones were fire talismans.
The dark blue ones were thunder talismans.
“Thunder!” “Fire!” “Water!”
If it wasn’t for the different font and color of these three types of talismans, he wouldn’t even be able to tell them apart.
He raised his head and looked at the progress of the beast tide at the edge of his line of sight.
Andrew knew that he still had around ten minutes to prepare.
These ten minutes could be used to increase his strength.
He opened the system interface.
He still had 40,000 strengthening points left.
He had just killed the black-striped python, a seventh-grade demon beast, and obtained 5,000 strengthening points.
A seventh-grade demon core meant 30,000 strengthening points.
He had also killed a seventh-grade lynx that had evolved and obtained 5,000 strengthening points.
A brown demon core got him 30,000 strengthening points.
Therefore, the total strengthening points on Andrew’s system interface had reached 110,000.
These 110,000 points were enough for him to upgrade from level six to level seven.
Even if it was Nine-layered Thunder Blade, it could be upgraded once.
However, Nine-layered Thunder Blade now had 60-meter-long qi energy, so there was no need to upgrade it further.
Combined with his Kunwu blade and spiritual power control, he could directly upgrade the lightning qi to a range of more than 100 meters.
After thinking for a while, Andrew decided to use the 110,000 strengthening points to upgrade Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique.
Previously, when he obtained Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique, his physical body had been greatly improved.
His flesh, blood, defense, and physical strength had all increased by a lot.
The instantaneous explosive attack power, his speed, and the recovery of his injuries had all increased.
With so many strengthening points, using them to increase Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique was the best choice.
“Ding! Using 100,000 strengthening points, Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique has been upgraded to the second stage!”
With the system’s notification, Andrew felt that his body had undergone a massive change in an instant.
Chapter 87 - Ambushing The Beast Tide

The bones, flesh, and meridians of his body were all making abnormal sounds at the same time.
There was even some white gas on his skin.
This was the phenomenon of his body heating up and sweating while his sweat evaporated.
Andrew felt that his body’s strength was increasing rapidly.
His entire body was filled with strength.
He clenched his fists. “Kacha! Kacha!”
His bones were cracking.
This state lasted for more than ten seconds.
Then, it began to gradually decline.
However, Andrew felt that the strength of his body had increased by a whole realm.
Looking at his body, when he took the initiative to exert strength, he had a faint feeling that his bones were emitting a golden color.
This was…
Golden Transformation!
When Andrew saw the changes in his body, he was shocked.
His eyes widened.
In Andrew’s knowledge, only a ninth-grade martial saint’s physical body could reach this state.
This was a performance that surpassed the eighth-grade Golden Body Realm.
When an eighth-grade Golden Body Realm expert used his strength, his entire body would burst out with golden light.
As the strength of an eighth-grade Golden Body Realm martial grandmaster increased, each section would restrain the golden light outside of his body to some extent into his body.
All the way until the eighth level or ninth level, or even until he advanced to a ninth-grade martial saint.
A ninth-grade martial saint wouldn’t be so exposed. All the golden light would be restrained into his bones.
Although the golden light had been restrained, the strength of his physical body would have increased by more than one level.
Andrew was secretly shocked.
“The strength of my physical body is actually about the same as a ninth-grade martial saint!”
He couldn’t help but laugh out loud. If this was the case, his success rate in stopping the beast tide by himself would be significantly increased.
Thinking of this, Andrew felt that he had to inform the people in Boston about the beast tide.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t discover the beast tide and wouldn’t even have any countermeasures.
Andrew stepped on the Kunwu Blade and flew up into the sky.
He was going to call Chief Charles with his cell phone.
As the signal here wasn’t very good, he could only get a little signal from his cell phone when he was high up in the sky.
However, just as Andrew was about to make the call.
Suddenly, he heard a “Whoosh” above his head
There was a piercing sound.
He subconsciously looked up.
Streaks of flames flew over his head.
They were missiles.
They flew from the direction of Boston City towards the beast tide ahead.
“Looks like Boston already knows about the beast tide.”
In the next moment, more than ten missiles fell towards the middle of the beast tide.
Boom!
Boom!
Every missile exploded, causing a massive tremor.
The earth shook.
The exploding flames were like fireworks, illuminating the night sky.
At the same time, countless beasts were roaring and screaming.
The scene was chaotic.
Even if Andrew was standing more than ten kilometers away, he could still feel the extreme heat when the missile exploded.
There were also sand and stones that were splashed.
The next moment.
“Pu!”
A fist-sized stone flew in front of Andrew and hit his shoulder.
The stone turned into powder.
Andrew cursed in his heart. Such a good beast tide. I was going to increase my strengthening points. Once the missile exploded, they were all blown up.
A monster of the seventh stage in the middle of the explosion was killed.
Even at the edge of the explosion, a demon beast of the fourth or fifth stage was blown to pieces by the force of the blast.
It was directly turned into powder.
If this
kind of explosion were to happen a few more times, the beast tide would be scattered.
The effect of an ambush would be greatly reduced.
Just as he was muttering to himself…
He suddenly felt that something wasn’t right.
In the beast tide ahead, an extremely terrifying roar sounded.
“Roar!”
Behind the beast tide, this roar emitted a mighty blood qi aura.
“Ninth stage great demon!
“Apart from the ninth stage great demon, there are also two eighth stage, six seventh stage, and several hundred sixth stage demon beasts at the edge.”
Andrew didn’t see through it with his eyes.
Instead, he relied on his spiritual energy.
Demon beasts of the sixth stage would give birth to spiritual energy.
However, their spiritual energy was still a bit weak.
Demon Beasts of the seventh or eighth stage, or even the ninth stage, all had strong spiritual energy fluctuations.
Just as the missile was about to hit it, Andrew felt hundreds of spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly burst out from the beast tide ahead.
It was as if they were communicating with their spiritual energy.
After that, they actually reasonably avoided the area where the missiles were bombarded.
As for the seventh-grade demon beast that was killed by the explosions…
It could only be said that it was unlucky.
With more than ten missiles bombarding, it was impossible to avoid one or two of them.
After several rounds of bombardments, there were always a few that could be hit.
Otherwise, why would humans need to be afraid of demon beasts when they were bombarded with such firepower?
They could just use thermal weapons and nuclear weapons to directly blow up the Dong Mountain.
All demonic beasts had to die.
At this time, Black Panther King roared furiously in the mountain, its voice spreading for tens of kilometers.
The survivors were close to several hundred sixth-grade demonic beasts.
They gathered together.
“Humans… deserve to die!”
Black Panther King’s blood qi surged, and its killing intent bloomed. It combined with the tyrannical blood qi, forming a pillar of blood that soared into the sky.
