After the long beast tide passed, Li Dong finally heaved a sigh of relief and sat on a tree branch." Oh, this is the first time I've seen such a huge creature. This unprecedented tension is unexpectedly interesting.”
However, Li Dong quickly forgot about his nervousness. It was late at night now, and his vision in the dark was only average. At most, it was slightly better than an ordinary person's. Although he did not know if the wild beasts in this world had the same habits as the wild beasts in the human world, there should be wild beasts that slept during the day and came out at night. Therefore, it was better to stay on the tree before dawn.
He flipped open the " Classic of Mountains and Seas: Records of Anecdotes " in his mind and browsed through it roughly. The content that he could flip through included the records of the ancient people regarding the demon race. The ancient people did not differentiate the strength of the spirit beasts, but only divided them into six categories based on their influence on humans. They were the sacred beasts, divine beasts, ferocious beasts, ancient beasts, and auspicious beasts.
The higher the status of the demon race, the rarer it was. For example, there were only three sacred beasts recorded in history. They were the Sky Water Qilin, the Primordial Fire Phoenix, and the Cangmu Azure Dragon. These three were all Spiritual Venerables who had existed before the opening of the sky. Their strength was also legendary in the legends, so they were also collectively called the Primordial Sacred Beast.
The number of Divine Beasts was ranked second to last among the six categories, and their strength was second only to the fierce beasts. Although the Divine Beasts had all kinds of strange powers, most of the Divine Beasts were not good at fighting, so the overall strength of the fierce beasts far exceeded the Divine Beasts. However, there were exceptions to everything. The strength of the legendary Ten Divine Beasts of Heaven and Earth was said to be above all the fierce beasts.
The ancient beasts referred to the strange beasts from the prehistoric times. Their population was second only to the fierce beasts. However, other than their ancient species, there was nothing special about them.
Auspicious beasts were the rarest and most peculiar existence among all the demons, except for the sacred beasts. They generally did not have a physical body. Because most of the auspicious beasts were the embodiment of the blessings of heaven and earth, they regarded heaven as their father and earth as their mother. If the blessings were endless, they would not grow old and die. All kinds of auspicious phenomena in the world basically came from them.
"Judging from the duration of this beast tide, there should be a gathering place or nest of fierce beasts within a thousand miles. Combined with the current information, this should be the central region of the Ancient Desolate Realm, the Eternal Sun Forest.”
Logically speaking, the variety of medicinal herbs here was the most abundant and complete. However, in order to efficiently harvest them, one must first understand the ecology of this forest.
The commotion of the Beast Tide had gradually subsided. Just as Li Dong was about to go down, a chill swept through his entire body. He turned around and saw a huge green pupil flickering with a faint green light staring at him. The owner of the pupil raised his head, which was the size of a classroom, and spat out two streams of cold air from his basketball-sized nostrils. In the darkness, he spat out a scarlet forked tongue.
This was the sign of an attack!
Without the slightest hesitation, or rather, without any time for hesitation, he jumped out without hesitation. The facts proved that his judgment was correct, because the moment he jumped out, a bloody mouth that could swallow an adult elephant was less than 20 centimeters away from him. If he had been slower by half a beat, he would have become a delicacy in the stomach of this terrifying beast.
As they descended from a height of over a thousand meters, Li Dong turned his head to look at the ferocious beast that was following closely along the tree trunk. Although he could not see it clearly, Li Dong still recognized it. It was the legendary Ba-Serpent! It could reach up to 460 meters in length, and it lived in deep valleys or perched on giant tree crowns all year round, waiting for prey to come knocking on its door. It was ranked 360 on the Mountain and Sea Exotic Beast Ranking.
The reason why it hadn't noticed it earlier was because it was hiding its aura from the Aoyin Race's " hunters " just like him. At this moment, it was just a prey that had turned into a hunter.
What should he do? Li Dong's first thought was to get rid of the pursuers. Since this was the Mountain and Sea Realm, where the strong preyed on the weak, he didn't need to worry too much.
Ice Spell-Snow Embrace Blue Pass!
He unleashed all his magic power! In an instant, heavy snow fell from the sky, and an extremely cold aura instantly froze the entire tree crown. An enormous icy mist spread out in all directions with Li Dong at the center, and the Ba-Serpent's pursuit came to a halt!
His body was still in a state of weightlessness as he fell. Just as Li Dong was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a dark purple light flashed on his chest, and four words appeared in his mind: The sun and moon flew like shuttles!
He muttered these four words in his heart. Immediately after, the surrounding space fluctuated violently. His body first became light before he landed on the cold and soft snow.
The heavy snow in the sky poured down like a torrential rain, covering everything that was frozen with a thick white blanket. The Ba-Serpent did not move at all, maintaining its downward charging posture.
Not having the courage to confirm whether the Ba-Serpent was dead or alive, Li Dong struggled to run deeper into the forest.
"That was…a spatial spell!”
The feeling was different from the space warp in the sky. This time, the warp was clearly under his control. However, after using the 'Sun and Moon Like Shuttle,' the magic power in his lower dantian had decreased greatly.
"Using it once consumed nearly four layers of my magic power. In other words, I can only use it twice at full capacity. After that, I have to meditate and circulate the vital qi in my heart meridian to replenish my lower dantian. Then, I have to convert the vital qi into true essence magic power. This process takes about two hours, and in a battle, the fastest speed of converting vital qi into magic power is…six hours!”In other words, he couldn't use it more than twice in six hours. Once he forcefully used it a third time, his magic power would immediately be exhausted. Not only could he not use it, but it would also have a huge impact on his body, causing him to lose strength, become weak, or even faint...
However, Li Dong was also glad that this skill consumed spiritual Qi and magic power instead of demonic Qi and demonic power. This was because demonic Qi and demonic power came from the heart meridian. Once the heart meridian was damaged, it would not be as simple as a heart attack.
It was just that spatial spells had always been something that could only be encountered by chance. It was already extremely lucky to have them, and as for some flaws, they were not too important.
Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn't help but sigh at how strange his luck was as usual. The reason why it was called strange was because extreme luck and extreme bad luck were the same. It was like winning the lottery or being hit by a comet. This was all part of one's luck. It didn't mean that it wasn't luck because it was disadvantageous to one. As for the so-called probability, it was just a lie. No matter how small the probability was, as long as it happened to one, it was a hundred percent.
And Li Dong was the type of person who believed that the more impossible it seemed, the more likely it was that it would happen to him…
Along the way, he carefully groped around, afraid that another ferocious beast would jump out from a certain bush. The Ice Four Words Formula just now had instantly drained half of the magic power in his dantian. In addition, he had used the Sun and Moon Moving Like Shuttle once. Now, Li Dong's magic power was only left with a layer. He looked around warily, but unfortunately, he could not see anything in the surroundings. If he had not used his spiritual sense to scout the way, he would have fallen heavily every few steps.
Just as Li Dong was at a loss as to where he should run, a faint light appeared in the distance and was particularly dazzling in the dark night.
He walked for four hours in search of the source of light, and then climbed up a steep cliff. He looked up but saw no sign of beasts or humans. It turned out that a large number of minerals emitting golden light were exposed in the rocky cliffs on the cliff. Not only that, but the branches and leaves of the Yuzhang and Cotoneaster trees on the cliff also emitted golden luster. He thought that this place was very likely to be a gathering place for cultivators in the human world, but he still missed.
Li Dong examined these minerals slightly and discovered that their properties were extremely similar to the gold of the human world. He picked up a fist-sized piece of refined gold from the ground and placed it into his Universe Creator, planning to bring it back to study it. Of course, this was definitely not because he was greedy or anything!
At this moment, an inconspicuous cave caught Li Dong's attention. The cave was only half the height of a person and one meter wide, but it was bottomless. Li Dong threw an ordinary stone into it and only heard the sound ten seconds later.
" It's at least a hundred meters deep…" Li Dong stroked his chin as he pondered.
However, for safety reasons, he didn't go down rashly. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from the cave, and a bone-chilling sense of danger arose spontaneously. Li Dong slowly retreated and stared at the cave vigilantly.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out of the cave. It was a creature that looked like a wolf or fox. It was not as big as an adult gray wolf, but its fox-like tail was two to three meters long. It had wolf-like eyes, fox-like mouth, and rabbit-like long ears.
"It seems to be the pterosaur from the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Anecdotes? "Ranked 98th on the Mountain and Sea Beast Rankings, fire-type. But how could I have encountered such a beast that only appears once every thousand years...?" Li Dong suddenly realized how strange his luck was.
The man and the beast were facing each other, and neither of them made any other movements. Li Dong's muscles were tense as he focused on the creature in front of him. However, the Lone Wolf was calmly resting with its eyes closed, completely disregarding Li Dong.
"Am I being paranoid? This little guy doesn't have any offensive abilities? " But why do I feel a sense of fear when I see it…" After a long time, Li Dong couldn't help but relax.
However, at this moment, the Lone Wolf's figure disappeared from Li Dong's eyes without any warning. The aura of death assaulted him, and his body was immobilized by an unknown force. In this life-and-death situation, four words flashed through his mind. The sun and moon flew like shuttles!
The attack of the Lone Wolf missed and hit the trunk of the Cotoneaster Tree. When Li Dong reappeared, he crashed into the rock wall of the mountain. His nose started to bleed, but he didn't have the mood to care about this. Looking at the trees that seemed to have been cut into pieces by an axe, Li Dong's forehead broke out in cold sweat. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been the one who had been cut into pieces.
The wolf did not continue to attack. It did not understand how the prey in front of it avoided its attack.
Li Dong thought that it was unrealistic to escape with the speed of the Mud Wolf. However, if he wanted to defeat it, he had to use some strange methods.
Not daring to be careless, Li Dong mobilized the Primordial Qi in his body to the greatest extent, converting it into Demonic Qi and Spiritual Qi respectively. The conversion speed of Spiritual Qi was extremely slow, as slow as a snail compared to Demonic Qi.
Moreover, the way to activate magic power and demonic power was very different. Magic power was activated in the lower dantian, through the heart meridian, and through the thirty-six circulation meridians before gathering in one place, while demonic power was activated in the heart meridian, through the lower dantian, and through the thirty-six circulation meridians before gathering. The difficulty was no less than multitasking.
Therefore, the two were like two trains running side by side in opposite directions on the track. If the track was not wide enough or there was only one track, then the two could easily squeeze together and collide. At that time, nothing could be used, and it would even hurt the meridians.
Li Dong could indeed be considered to be born with divine strength compared to ordinary people. His body was also much stronger than ordinary people, but the meridians in his body were as small and fragile as ordinary people. Therefore, he had to be even more cautious when activating two types of power at the same time!
Even though his meridians had already been widened by demonic energy and medicinal pills, the circulation of true essence still took a lot of time.
But no matter what, he should give it a try! First of all, he had to deal with the terrifying speed of the pterosaur wolf…
At this moment, the Lone Wolf turned around and roared. Its body suddenly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, it turned into a giant beast that was thirty feet tall.
" Oh my, can it grow bigger? This is different from what the books say…"
Seeing this, Li Dong was suddenly frightened and slowly retreated. However, the pterosaur closed in step by step. Just as it flew over, Li Dong cast the Ice Art, Realm of Snow!
This was a wide-area spell that was the closest to a domain. It did not have any direct killing effect and consumed very little of one's own Primordial Qi. However, it could slow down the movement speed of everything within a certain range with Li Dong as the center and the efficiency of Primordial Qi circulation.
The white snow in the Snow Region was condensed from the cold air of the Thousand-Year Ice Soul. Not only could it block detection abilities, but it could also corrode the bodies of living creatures, affecting their physical functions and spiritual consciousness.
At the same time, Li Dong recalled his encounter with the Qiong Qi. He learned the method of sensing the Thousand-Year Icesoul and sensed the other Spirit Seed!
"Found it!"
Li Dong's eyes lit up with a fiery light as he held the spell in his palm and shouted coldly,""Flame Art-Attack!"
The Nirvana Jade Pendant in front of his chest suddenly burst out with a red light, and a huge shadow was projected behind Li Dong. An ancient red flowing flame pattern appeared on the back of his left hand. He spread out his palm and a flame spell spewed out. A huge flame pillar with a diameter of about six meters hit the Mud Wolf.
Violent flames shot into the sky. The wolf rolled on the ground with flames all over its body. Its skin and hair were burned black.
Li Dong, who was hidden in the snow, quickly covered his tracks. He couldn't help but exclaim," The Fire Spiritual Seed was so powerful when it was activated by demonic power. Not only did it not consume much Primordial Qi, but its power was also on a different level than the Thousand-Year Ice Soul.
The wolf struggled to get up and panted heavily. It looked like it would fall at any moment.
"Hu ~" Li Dong let out a breath of hot air in the cold wind."A spell that doesn't require chanting is indeed useful.”
This was the power of the ancient magic formula. It saved the need to add all kinds of prayers to the heaven and earth to activate the Five Elements Spiritual Qi. It could be quickly cast with only one's own Primordial Qi.
The Lone Wolf knew that it was heavily injured, so it attacked wildly with the determination to die. The wind blades that were stirred up by its limbs spread out densely, and some nearby trees, grass, and stones were instantly cut into pieces by the wind blades.
Seeing this, Li Dong decided to give it the final blow!
"Too much destruction will only scatter the power. If you want to kill in one blow, you have to focus!”Li Dong circulated the Primordial Qi in his heart meridian with all his might, continuously condensing and compressing it into demonic Qi. Finally, it turned into extremely pure purple demonic power!
Flame Technique-Red Refined Spear!
The spear formed by fire-type demonic energy flew out of Li Dong's hand and turned into a purple light that instantly pierced through the wolf's steel-like body. Immediately after, purple-red flames ignited. The wolf howled and kept rolling and jumping, but it could not extinguish the flames on its body. The purple-red flames stuck to the wolf's body like maggots in its bones.
The advantage of the Fire Soul Seed was not only its explosive power, but also its continuous burning property. The fire poison in it even penetrated into the body of the wolf through the demon power. Even if it was cooled down by ice, snow, rain, or other means, it would still suffer a second injury.
About fifteen minutes later, the wolf's huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang. It lay motionless on the snow without any signs of life.
Li Dong carefully moved forward. Suddenly, the closed eyes of the Mud Wolf suddenly opened. It opened its bloody mouth and bit at Li Dong. Li Dong seemed to have been prepared for this. He extended his right hand and a white jade pillar appeared in his hand. He stabbed it into the wolf's mouth and pierced through its skull.
The Lone Wolf fell into a pool of blood. The ice and snow gradually covered its corpse and blood, but Li Dong did not feel relieved at all.
"This fierce beast seems to only have the intelligence of a wild wolf, but is this really the extent of a fierce beast that can live alone here like a lord?”Thinking of this, Li Dong felt a chill run down his spine, and he involuntarily tightened his grip on the white jade pillar.
"Huff huff ~ I haven't seen the younger generation of the Li family for many years. I didn't expect that the family, which was once at the peak of its power, would now be in a state of decline.”
A mocking voice exploded like thunder from behind him. Li Dong carefully turned around and saw an unbelievable scene. He saw a rabbit-sized Mud Wolf lying on a huge piece of pure gold, revealing a human-like smile.
Li Dong gathered all his magic power, demonic power, and energy into the white jade pillar before throwing it at the pterosaur wolf. The white jade pillar passed through the pterosaur wolf's body at a speed that was hard to catch with the naked eye. It pierced through more than ten Yuzhang Trees and Cotoneaster Trees before finally sinking into the mountain on the other side of the cliff.
The Lone Wolf yawned sleepily and said,"Don't waste your energy. Don't you know that not all beasts have a physical body?”
"This is the first time I've heard of it. I only know that many auspicious beasts don't have a physical body because they are the embodiment of the blessings of heaven and earth. They can be reborn when they follow the heaven and earth, and they can live forever when they follow the earth. I'm quite surprised that there are such beasts among the fierce beasts.”
"Oh? You know quite a bit."
Suddenly, a soft sound rang out, and his vision blurred. The Lone Wolf that was lying on the rock suddenly disappeared. Then, he felt a slight pressure on his shoulder. The Lone Wolf's body stood steadily on Li Dong's shoulder, as light as a leaf. Its silk-like tail wrapped around the youth's body. At this moment, it quietly whispered into his ear,"Then guess if I'm an auspicious beast or a ferocious beast? And what is my blessing?"
At this moment, it was as if there were several knives on his neck, making him unable to move. Beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but Li Dong did not dare to act rashly because his current magic power was not enough to use the Sun and Moon Moving Like Shuttle again…
" If the records in 'Classic of Mountains and Seas: Anecdotes' are not wrong, your appearance means that the world I'm in will be in chaos…" Li Dong answered honestly.
"Haha, not bad." The wolf laughed and continued," Then do you know? "Although I'm classified as a ferocious beast by you humans, in fact, I have the ability of an auspicious beast. I can bestow my blessings on a certain area or give them to a specific person or object. I can do all of these…"
When Lone Wolf said this, Li Dong suddenly had an ominous feeling.""Well…there are so many people in this world who want the world to be in chaos. Why did you choose me? I'm a pacifist."
"Hehe, it would be boring if we didn't do this, wouldn't it? Some people are born to cause trouble. Even without my blessing, they can still make small things big. But you are different. I can see that you are a person who is careful with your words and actions. If you don't let things come to you, I'm afraid you will really be unknown and aloof from the world…"
The Lone Wolf sneered and said," But don't worry, I will only give you half of my power. After all, I am also a nuclear peace-advocate. So when you return to the human world, the world will not be in chaos all of a sudden. However, the country you are in will be in chaos first, and then all kinds of troubles will follow. From small disputes to local wars, and finally the world will be in turmoil. All of this will be centered on you.”
Brother Wolf! Do you have some misunderstanding about the word peace? Li Dong cried out in his heart with tears streaming down his face.
" But you must remember, don't die so easily. Otherwise, everything will be irreparable…"
After saying that, the wolf's tail curled around the corpse on the ground, shrinking it down and stuffing it into Li Dong's mouth...
"Damn you! Wu wu…" Li Dong, who had always been well-mannered, could not help but curse. This was raw, and it was bloody! Even though it had been shrunk, it was still the size of an adult rabbit.
Li Dong felt as if his esophagus and stomach were about to explode. When the Lone Wolf saw that Li Dong had swallowed half of its essence, it curled its tail and threw Li Dong into the bottomless cave.
