Chương 184: Yang Cheng Gets Stronger by Constantly Farming Jungle

If it were the mediocre clown gang, with his current strength, he would have a high chance of winning in a one-on-one fight, but if they ganged up on him, he might not be a match for them.

A young transmigrator named Kagurazaka Yuuki has been in this other world for many years. He is not only ambitious, but his strength is also a mystery.

Although he has now become a Demon Lord, he is still somewhat inferior to some veteran Demon Lords, and he is even less likely to be a match for those awakened Demon Lords.

Therefore, Yang Cheng's next plan is to hunt powerful monsters everywhere, devour their souls to strengthen himself, and then become an awakened demon king when the time is right.

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Rimuru broke out in a cold sweat on his round, spherical body.

Although Rimuru did not ask about Makoto's profession and age before his reincarnation during their previous conversation.

But now, hearing Yang Cheng's rather chuunibyou-esque remarks, he basically deduced that Yang Cheng must have been a high school student or something similar before he was reincarnated into this other world.

At this passionate and energetic age, when one's inner chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is at its peak, Rimuru completely understands that Rimuru wants to make a name for himself in this other world.

But Rimuru is different. Before his reincarnation, as a middle-aged office worker, he had already had his edges smoothed out by society.

Now that I've arrived in a strange new world, having finally escaped the life of a corporate slave, why bother with fighting and killing? Naturally, I'll just enjoy the slow-paced life in this new world.

"Brother Yangcheng, I understand how you feel right now. If I were the same age as you when I was reincarnated, I would probably feel the same way as you now."

But you have to understand that the stories in comics and novels are just stories. We are actually in an unknown and dangerous other world now.

I heard from Veru—a friend—that we are not the only lucky ones who were reincarnated into this other world.

In other words, we're not the only protagonists in a comic book novel, so I think we should be more careful.

As fellow countrymen from another world, and as an older man with more social experience, Rimuru felt it necessary to offer some advice to his junior, Yuuki.

Having finally met a fellow countryman in another world, and the first "human" he'd ever met, Rimuru would be very sad if Yangcheng were to die from his recklessness.

"In that case, let's split up for now."

You're in charge of finding a place to settle down, while I'll go out and explore the world, and maybe gather some information along the way.

If I can't make a living like this, how about I come and rely on you?

Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Rimuru had no choice but to accept Yangcheng's suggestion. After all, they had just arrived in this other world and were completely clueless. Gathering useful information was indeed very important.

Seeing Rimuru, disguised as a cautious warrior, constantly and earnestly advising him to be careful, Yu Cheng couldn't help but smile wryly.

If they were in an unknown other world, Yang Cheng would naturally agree with Rimuru's attitude and thoughts, after all, he wasn't some so-called chuunibyou hot-blooded teenager.

However, although he, like Rimuru, was reincarnated into this other world for the first time, as a second-time transmigrator, he knew most of the plot of this world.

In addition to the unique skills that reincarnated and transmigrators possess, Rimuru also has the "Great Sage" ability, which is comparable to a cheat code. So, it's not unreasonable for Yang Cheng, as a "prophet," to know some plot details in advance, right?

The Jura Forest, the area where the calamity-level monster, the Storm Dragon Veldora, is sealed, has always been a forbidden zone for humans due to the magical energy emanating from Veldora. It is also a natural paradise for monsters.

Because of the infamous reputation of the Storm Dragon Veldora, the entire Jura Forest was considered its territory, and even the Demon King had not set foot there.

The Storm Dragon Magic that shrouds this place has become the best natural barrier for all kinds of monsters living here.

However, although the magic content of the Jura Forest is rich, the strength of the monsters here is ultimately no match for the monsters under the command of the Demon King's forces.

To put it bluntly, with Yang Cheng and Rimuru's current strength, they are more than capable of dominating the entire Jura Forest.

Rimuru's worries were completely unnecessary, because the most powerful monsters in the Jura Forest were mostly concentrated in the cave they came out of.

Because the closer you are to the sealed Storm Dragon, the more concentrated the magic energy becomes, the monsters in the cave are generally a level stronger than those outside.

Monsters like the spiders and snakes they killed in the cave could easily wipe out powerful monster tribes if they were placed in the Jura Forest.

The cave that seals the Storm Dragon is considered a forbidden zone even by the monsters of the Jura Forest.

After temporarily parting ways with Rimuru, Yu Cheng used his "magic perception" ability to search for powerful magical beasts inhabiting the Jura Forest.

Because of his unique skills "Deceitful One" and "King Spirit Master," he wants to increase his strength and level up. The method is actually similar to Rimuru's: just keep slaughtering.

Unlike monsters, magical beasts are beings without intelligence, only instinctively hunting other creatures.

However, due to the sheer amount of magic power in himself, and the same goes for his soul, he became Yang Cheng's best hunting target.

"boom!"

A blue flame transformed into a blade and shot down from the sky, instantly splitting a giant spider monster on the ground in two, causing it to crash to the ground and kick up a cloud of dust.

The Gun-Armored Spider is one of the most powerful calamity-level magical beasts in the Jura Forest.

Because it has a metal armor-like shell and gunblade-like limbs that can easily pierce through rocks and steel, it has long been called a nightmare by many adventurers.

To defeat a monster of this level, you would generally need a team of experienced A-rank adventurers or an entire legion.

However, this powerful monster was killed in less than a minute after it encountered a black-haired boy.

"Bullying newcomers!"

As Yang Cheng descended from the sky, he reached out and pulled a struggling blue soul directly from the corpse of the dead Gun Armor Spider, absorbing it instantly.

As for the body of the Gun Armor Spider, Yang Cheng thought for a moment and finally reached out and put it into the "Between of the Dead" skill that he had recently mastered.

The Necropolis is a special space used to house the dead. Yang Cheng recently discovered that this skill can also be used as a storage warehouse. Unfortunately, since it is a space for placing dead creatures, it cannot store living beings.

"It's been three days since I parted ways with Rimuru. I wonder if he's encountered goblins and started building the village yet."

"It's about time I went to see him, and check on how his infrastructure is going. This gun-armored spider will be a nice souvenir."

In less than three days, Yang Cheng had hunted nearly a hundred magical beasts. However, with such soul power, reaching the level of awakening a demon king was still a long way off.
