Chapter 1106: 1106
Boundless mountains stretched far into the horizon and high into the sky . Rivers cut through them, winding through the land . The occasional roar of a Magical Beast sent birds flying in flocks .
A man and a woman were standing at the peak of a tall mountain . They were Long Chen and Meng Qi .
Long Chen looked at the map in his hands in accordance with the terrain below . âOnce weâre past the river ahead of us, there should be many Magical Beasts around . The Elder Hall Master said that there was some special ore underground that creates a magnetic field here, and it is very helpful to a Magical Beastâs cultivation . This place is like a natural Spirit Gathering Formation for Magical Beasts . So despite there being countless battles between them, they still stay here . And more surrounding Magical Beasts are constantly drawn over, wanting to occupy some territory here . â
âThatâs similar to us . Didnât we also charge our way into the Central Plains in hopes of establishing a foothold?â laughed Meng Qi .
âYour comparison really is accurate . In truth, when it comes to the weak being prey to the strong, the human cultivator world is much crueler than the Magical Beast world . Although the battles between Magical Beasts are bloody and berserk, the danger can be seen on the surface, and thereâs still a chance to hide . But human cultivators scheme, killing people silently . Many people donât even realize how they died even as it happens . So the struggle of Magical Beasts is always open, and Magical Beasts that form packs never betray each other . As for humans? Hehe, betrayal is a common occurrence . â Long Chen couldnât help but sigh emotionally . âCome on, letâs go . â
Long Chen pulled Meng Qiâs hand as they slowly flew ahead . As they crossed over the wide river, Meng Qi couldnât help but reminisce . âLast time in the Spirit World, you led me into the stomach of a fish to escape a calamity . I wonder if this time weâll be even more miserable . â
Thinking of their time in the Spirit World, both of their hearts warmed . Sometimes, memories were the most precious wealth .
âLast time was just an accident . It definitely wonât happen again . â Long Chen patted his chest confidently .
BOOM!
Just as he had spoken, waves exploded out of the river below . A large mouth shot toward the two of them .
It was a three-thousand-meter fish . It had a thin body like a ribbonfish, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth . From its aura, it should be a mid eighth rank Magical Beast .
Long Chen pointed a finger and a lightning arrow pierced its head . It instantly died .
âHow about I treat you to some roast fish?â Long Chen smiled .
Meng Qi hastily shook her head . âNo, this Ghost Toothed Eel eats rotting Magical Beasts . It only eats rotten flesh, so its own flesh is disgusting too . â
âAh, is that so? Gross . â Long Chen directly tossed it into the primal chaos space, allowing the black soil to devour it .
The primal chaos space had expanded after he had advanced to Foundation Forging . He had filled it with the seeds of Iron Spruce Oaks, but right now, they had only grown to around thirty meters .
The old Iron Spruce Oaks hadnât even reached their peak yet, but he had planted so many more . Their growth was exceedingly slow now, but he was helpless to do anything about it .
To make them grow faster would require mountains of Magical Beast corpses, and high ranking ones at that . Magical Beast corpses below the seventh rank were essentially ineffective .
âHow curious . Why would this idiot fish want to eat us? To its huge body, we arenât even two sesame seeds,â wondered Long Chen .
âThatâs not it . Magical Beasts are all territorial . As long as they feel like they are threatened, they will think that the invaders came to take their territory, so theyâll naturally attack . It wasnât because of hunger,â explained Meng Qi .
A loud roar echoed as Long Chen and Meng Qi reached the other side of the river . From the darkness of the forest, a huge flaming wolf pounced on them .
âScram!â
Long Chen kicked the eighth rank wolf away . Its huge body tumbled through the forest . Terrified of Long Chen, it knelt in the distance, baring its teeth toward Long Chen, warning him .
âIs it because of Little Snow?â asked Meng Qi quietly .
âYes . I just canât be emotionless toward wolf-type Magical Beasts,â sighed Long Chen .
Meng Qi held his hand . She worriedly asked, âCan Little Snow really be revived?â
Both Meng Qi and Long Chen had deep feelings toward Little Snow . To them, Little Snow was no different than family .
Meng Qi had personally witnessed Little Snow being struck by the Yama King Blood Curse . That Yama King Blood Curse was an extremely vile art . Anyone struck would definitely die .
âDonât worry, Little Snow will definitely be revived . The soul will be the same, but the body will be different,â said Long Chen .
âThen why donât we find a ninth rank wolf Magical Beast? We can erase its soul and allow Little Snow to revive,â said Meng Qi .
Long Chen shook his head . âNo, ninth rank would be too low . Even tenth rank is too low . Little Snow only has one chance to be reborn . If it was just a ninth rank Magical Beast, the same old play would repeat again . If he canât keep up with me, he still wouldnât be happy after being revived . He has his own pride and would rather die alongside me . So the body I find for Little snow must be powerful, and it must be able to grow to the peak of the martial path with me . â
Suffering that pain once was enough . So Long Chen couldnât revive Little Snow right now . He had to find a stronger body .
âThen should we subdue the flame wolf?â probed Meng Qi .
âWhat? To make up for the void in my heart?â laughed Long Chen . âLittle Snow is always by my side, so thereâs no need for that . Furthermore, this flame wolf is too weak . â
Meng Qi smiled . The two of them continued . They found that as they went deeper, the Magical Beasts grew fiercer, and the two of them were attacked multiple times .
However, they were all eighth rank Magical Beasts . They were all killed by Long Chen and tossed into the primal chaos space as nutrients .
âTheyâre so packed together that thereâs no buffer room between them at all . â Long Chen found that as soon as they left one Magical Beastâs territory, they received an attack from another Magical Beast .
Each of the eighth rank Magical Beasts only had a territory of a hundred miles . That was a far cry from the hundreds or thousands of miles of territory that they normally had .
As the two of them crossed a mountain, a rumbling rang out . A huge black scorpion charged at the two of them .
âFinally, a ninth rank Magical Beast . â Long Chen was delighted, and he was already charging out . The black scorpion slammed one of its pincers at him .
BOOM!
Long Chen received its attack with his fist . Long Chen felt his arm tremble and he shot back, while the black scorpion was smashed into the ground .
âWithin the same realm, armored Magical Beasts have the greatest power . This power is enough . â Long Chen shook his slightly numb hand and smiled .
The huge scorpion once more charged at Long Chen . This time, both its pincers were at the front, and it was like a chariot trying to smash him to death .
âThen letâs see just whose power is greater . â
Long Chen took a deep breath, and the 108,000 original runes in his body quivered slightly . Energy surged out of them like a flood, filling Long Chen with power . He punched out with both fists .
The ground exploded, dirt flying out in every direction . In terms of power, Long Chen and the huge scorpion were equally matched .
âDamn, ninth rank Magical Beasts are far stronger than the ninth rank devil beasts from the Infernal Devil Abyss . â Long Chen couldnât help being stunned as he felt some faint pain in his arms .
Suddenly, an attack shot down at him from the sky . Long Chen immediately pushed away with his arms and shot back .
The scorpionâs tail pierced the ground where he had just been .
âMeng Qi, this Magical Beast is pretty strong . Do you want it?â shouted Long Chen as he flew back .
âBut, itâs so dark and uglyâŠâ Meng Qi was a bit hesitant .
Long Chen thought about it and agreed . Meng Qi was like a fairy . Riding such a black and ugly scorpion wasnât very suitable .
âAlright then . Heaven Trapping Flame Prison!â Flame runes condensed into a prison around the black scorpion .
Now, Long Chen had new magical arts, and the cast time for them was very short, practically instantaneous . A dumb Magical Beast wouldnât be able to dodge them .
The black scorpion struggled, but the flame prison didnât show any signs of breaking .
Long Chen raised his right hand . His forefinger and middle finger pointed toward the huge scorpion, aiming at its head .
Flames condensed between his two fingers, and then a blinding light erupted .
âBlazing Death Spear . â
A ray of light pierced through the huge scorpionâs head . It reached its head practically the instant it left his fingers .
The light directly went through its armor and out the other side of it . A three-meter hole appeared in its head .
Despite that, it continued to struggle for a few minutes before completely dying . That was one of the terrifying aspects of armored Magical Beasts .
âThe fish wasnât edible, but this scorpion is a delicacy . Hehe, Iâll cook you some roast scorpion,â laughed Long Chen .
