At the edge of the forest…
The group rescued the heavily injured Lou Yunxian Zun, and were deeply shocked by his wounds. They never expected that the legendary, peerless expert would face such a day.
"That… that demonic beast… is severely injured! It must… must be killed! Otherwise… the cultivation world is in danger!"
Several Nascent Soul stage cultivators were stunned by this, and then their eyes met. They saw greed reflected in each other's gazes!
The beast core and bones of a Soul Transformation stage demonic beast were precious materials! Their flesh and blood were also top-grade! Moreover, if such a powerful demonic beast appeared, it would be difficult for them cultivators to control demonic beasts in the future!
At this moment! Everyone reached a consensus…
They absolutely could not let this Soul Transformation stage demonic beast escape!
However, when they arrived quickly, they were met with only tens of thousands of demonic beasts and a large pit.
The trial ended, and everyone returned to their sects. Except for a few who desperately wanted to enter to find Jin Bao'er, they were forcibly taken away by the Misty Sect.
Li Qingjiu was also stopped by elders from the Dragon Tiger Sect who rushed over. They refused to let him enter, no matter what. After all, a beast tide had just begun in the Seven Desolations Forest, making it extremely dangerous. How could he, at the half-step Golden Core stage, survive?
Thus, Li Qingjiu stayed on the outskirts of the forest, refusing to leave. He stayed there for a full month…
On this day, a loud boom echoed from the center of the Seven Desolations Forest!
"Boom!"
Instantly, the surrounding demonic beasts that heard the sound panicked and fled, afraid of being targeted by that human again!
A girl in blue, holding a wooden sword, her eyes calm. Her beautiful, pure face, unadorned by makeup, was stunning. Her raven-black hair was tied high in a jade hairpin at the back of her head. She looked around in confusion.
"I didn't say it wrong!"
A lazy, casual voice reached her ears. Jin Bao'er pursed her lips unhappily.
"A fifth-grade Ding Kun Pill is a rare and excellent medicine. After taking it, it can absolutely consolidate one's cultivation without any side effects. What are they afraid of?"
Hearing her tone, she clearly hadn't reflected on how terrifying her actions were. Long Lixing couldn't help but chuckle.
"Are you sure? The first time, you gave the flying bird beast diarrhea. The second time, you made the pig beast lose its teeth. The third time, you made the sound-listening beast deafened… and the fourth and fifth times! Now, all the low-level demonic beasts in the demonic beast forest are afraid when they see you!"
Jin Bao'er's face darkened: Those were all accidents! She had grown now!!
Just then, a powerful pressure rapidly spread, instantly shaking the entire forest…
The beast tide, which had just calmed down, showed signs of collapsing again. A chaotic aura surged, and even though she was in the heart of the forest, she could feel the excitement and fervor!
Looking at the sky full of dust and the faint tremor under her feet in the distance, Jin Bao'er's expression became solemn!
"It's not a beast tide!"
Just as she was about to investigate, Long Lixing spoke, his attitude still aloof and casual.
Not a beast tide? What else could make the demonic beasts so agitated?
"Roar!" "Roar roar roar!"
A thunderous roar came from the cave behind them. Almost in the next second, the agitated demonic beasts quieted down, as if fearing something, or perhaps anticipating something! The low-level demonic beasts that had been scared away by Jin Bao'er also peeked their heads out, prostrating themselves on the ground in humility…
In the distance, countless demonic beasts moved in the same way! Whether they were at the Soul Transformation stage or Golden Core stage, they all lowered their proud heads. Even if the demonic beast beside them was their natural enemy, they didn't move at all.
They were clearly demonic beasts without intelligence, yet they made such unified and orderly movements…
Jin Bao'er saw this scene from afar, her heart filled with shock! For hundreds of years, the demonic beasts had never been so united. They were powerful yet not very intelligent, and were treated as pets by cultivators!
But at this moment, she seemed to see the rise of the demonic beasts!
Was it because of the powerful white tiger in the cave? Vaguely, she thought of a possibility! She looked up at the dark depths of the cave, her eyes full of complexity…
There was an ancient legend in the cultivation world: the demonic beast race and cultivators once shared the continent equally, standing on par! The power and innate advantages of the demonic beasts made people wary, especially the Beast King – Tian Shu!
Not only was his talent formidable, but his terrifying power truly shocked the continent. Only after the news of his death spread did cultivators completely dominate the continent and become the true masters of the cultivation continent.
Without a top expert, and not very intelligent, the demonic beasts naturally became the playthings of cultivators!
"It is inevitable that the demonic beast race will welcome a new king! You can go in."
A deep, casual voice came. Jin Bao'er was slightly surprised, but Long Lixing's words had no follow-up, clearly indicating that there was another mystery.
At the same time, she also discovered that the barrier behind her had disappeared…
After she brought the white tiger back a month ago, a barrier suddenly appeared inside, preventing anyone from approaching. Many demonic beasts surrounded the cave, staring at her menacingly, not letting her leave. So, she simply stayed there.
So… she could go in?
In the darkness, as her footsteps drew closer, the spacious cave finally revealed its full appearance. Recalling that it was pitch black and oppressive when she last entered, the white tiger's massive body completely blocked the opening of the cave's skylight. But this time, it was exceptionally clear and bright…
On a large circular platform in the center stood a burly white tiger with wild eyes, standing straight. Its beastly pupils were filled with scrutiny and pride.
"Human! Did you save this king?"
Confirming it had no ill intentions, Jin Bao'er slightly lowered her guard and looked at it calmly.
"No!"
The white tiger was instantly stunned. The words it was about to utter were forced back, and it stepped down from the platform in surprise, each step carrying a powerful, restrained explosive force.
"You don't need to be humble, this king saw you at the time! Humans have always been cunning and treacherous. Whatever benefits you want, this king can agree to them!"
The condescending and disdainful gaze from its beastly pupils made Jin Bao'er very unhappy. If Long Lixing hadn't told her to come in, and the high-level demonic beasts outside wouldn't let her leave, she wouldn't have bothered coming in.
"It wasn't me who saved you. I just carried you in casually. However, those Soul Transformation stage demonic beasts won't let me leave. If possible, please tell them."
The sect grand competition was about to begin. This time, it was a competition with other sects, and she couldn't miss it! She wondered what they were thinking. The moment she sent the white tiger in, she was pushed out by a restriction, and then turned to see a group of furious Soul Transformation stage demonic beasts…
That's right! A group!! Almost all the Soul Transformation stage cultivators in the forest had gathered here. It was impossible for her, a Golden Core stage cultivator, to escape. Even the flying tiger that had chased her last time was there, as if saying, "Try to run? We'll tear you to shreds!"
The white tiger was puzzled. Its beastly pupils stared intently at her, confirming that she really had no intention of taking credit. Only then did it shift its gaze away in disappointment, its tone carrying a hint of anger.
