At the Bao Islands, Yapeng City…

At the location of the spatial gateway thirty-some kilometers southeast of the city district, Wang Bo stood a few dozen meters away from the gateway, his eyes shining.

“During this period of time, I’ve harvested the Yin energy from eighteen women with yin constitutions. I’m now fully in sync with this body. It’s time to enter the so-called beast world to test out my strength.”

A strange light flashed in his pupils as Wang Bo strode forward, crossing the spatial gateway.

Just as he walked through the spatial gateway, a hint of excitement shone in Wang Bo’s eyes.

Sensing the abundant spiritual qi in the beast world, he took a deep breath, his expression drunken.

“As expected of the land of legends. The spiritual qi in here is so thick I’m about to cry!”

He ignored the strange looks from the people around him. He walked resolutely out of the safety zone.

Wang Bo’s pace was very slow. It was like he was afraid of stepping on the ants under his feet, taking each step very carefully, leaving his footprints behind one by one.

When Wang Bo walked out of the safety zone, he realized he wasn’t rejected by this world, and finally revealed a joyous smile.

“Nice!”

Looking at the place he had only heard of in legends, Wang Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking, -Going forward, I’ll have to wait for my other clones to fully take over their hosts’ bodies, and to quickly raise my strength, then strive to obtain a position of power among the humans and work towards constructing a spatial tunnel in this world!

-It’s probably impossible for a spatial restriction to appear in this world and leave our powerful warriors unable to arrive here, right?-

No one had yet to realize that although Wang Bo still appeared to be a human beastmaster, his soul had disappeared without a trace. What occupied his body was an almighty creature from the demon world, acting as one of its many identities.

The whole world was guarding against the hundred and eight black doors standing in the air in Mercury, not realizing that the demonic creatures had taken an alternate route and were preparing to invade the beast worlds!

Of course, opening a large and stable spatial tunnel in the beast world wasn’t something they could achieve anytime soon, even if that almighty creature’s clones slowly recovered their strength.

——-

In Hua Xia, deep in the beast world behind a spatial gateway in a nameless city, Zhang Che was both happy and shocked by the frisky monkey’s attempt at human speech. He instructed the pet to activate his skill, scanning for ten thousand meters radius around them.

Soon, the frisky monkey scanned through the surrounding area, then jumped up excitedly and pointed to the northeast, stammering, “Baba, baba, herb, herb!”

“Hahahaha, not bad, not bad! Looks like I’ll have to teach you how to speak properly!”

This truly was an unexpected piece of good news. He didn’t think the frisky monkey would even know how to say spiritual herb, apart from his badly pronounced daddy, although he only learned a single word.

However, it meant that the fellow was trying hard to learn, didn’t it?

As long as Zhang Che didn’t recall the monkey back into his spiritual sea, the frisky monkey would surely learn more words. Learning how to speak properly in the end was only natural progression!

Of course, whether the frisky monkey could speak in full sentences was something to be verified. However, him being able to learn new words was something indisputable.

“Come on, we’ll go see what grade the best spiritual herb this time is!”

Naturally, that wasn’t the only spiritual herb the frisky monkey found this time, but the one in the northeast gave off the biggest reaction. That was why the frisky monkey pointed in that direction first.

The frisky monkey saying the word ‘herb’ meant that specific spiritual herb’s grade would definitely not disappoint him. Zhang Che was filled with anticipation. He quickly picked up the frisky monkey and mounted the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, flying in the direction indicated.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew for close to half a minute, passing several mountains, and finally dove down to a deep ravine below.

“Hmm? It’s a spiritual herb that grew in a ravine?” Zhang Che couldn’t help but find it a little strange.

Usually, spiritual herbs with a higher grade would be growing on the waist of a mountain or higher, or even at the top of a mountain. This kind that grew in a deep ravine was really uncommon.

Of course, Zhang Che wouldn’t suspect the frisky monkey’s senses made a mistake. The fellow had never made such a mistake before!

However, to guard against whatever danger might be in this ravine, Zhang Che summoned the Earthen Rock Demon and had the giant stone man scout the way forward, advancing cautiously into the valley.

After advancing a few hundred meters, Zhang Che’s pupils contracted slightly. The Earthen Rock Demon at his side even let out a furious roar as a large rock spear appeared in its hand, throwing it into the fog-shrouded ravine with a whoosh.

An exotic beast making the Earthen Rock Demon act so cautiously had to be six-star epic-quality, at the very least!

-Hopefully it’s not a divine-quality exotic beast, or I’ll have no choice but to run.- Zhang Che prayed silently, but he wasn’t too worried about it.

If it really was a divine-quality exotic beast, the Earthen Rock Demon’s first reaction wouldn’t be to attack, but to warn him and run.

As the rock spear flew deep into the ravine, a furious roar suddenly rang through the whole ravine. Afterwards, Zhang Che’s sharp senses detected a wave of intense energy fluctuations deep in the ravine ahead.

“Oh shit!”

Zhang Che immediately put on his legend-quality armor, then ordered the Earthen Rock Demon to stand in front of him.

Before the Earthen Rock Demon could lower its raised leg, a concentrated wave of projectiles resembling black sharp arrows came flying at them.

Dang dang dang dang..!

Intensely clear and crisp sounds rang out. Zhang Che felt like artillery shells were blowing up near him. Although they didn’t break the Purple-Gold Demonic Armored Worm armor’s defense, the massive impact still made his stomach feel terrible. He couldn’t sit stably on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, and nearly fell off the dragon’s back.

In the next moment, Zhang Che quickly willed the frisky monkey behind him back into his spiritual sea.

Fortunately the fellow was hiding behind Zhang Che moments earlier, and wasn’t hit by the attacks. Otherwise, he might have died right there!

“That had to be the skill of an exotic beast at six-star epic-quality, at the very least!”

Zhang Che’s gaze was grave. The Earthen Rock Demon had stepped in front of him, shielding the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and Zhang Che behind its heavenly pillar-like legs.

The wave of attacks from the skill came to an end.

Zhang Che discovered, to his shock, that those black arrow-like objects directly vanished after striking him and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, not leaving anything behind. Evidently, those black arrow-like objects were a kind of energy attack!

It also explained why the skill attack of an exotic beast who was likely to be high-tier epic-quality was fully blocked by a mid-tier legend-quality armor…

If it was a skill that dealt physical damage, the Purple-Gold Demonic Armored Worm armor would most likely be damaged.

“Retreat! Out of the ravine!”

Although the Earthen Rock Demon was standing in front of Zhang Che, shielding him, he felt uneasy about it. It truly wasn’t advantageous for him to battle in the thick fog in the ravine.

After receiving Zhang Che’s order, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon turned around and flew out of the ravine, stopping a short distance away from the entrance.

Meanwhile, another rock spear appeared in the Earthen Rock Demon’s hand, who threw it forward with a loud roar.

During the concentrated wave of black arrow-like attacks earlier, many had struck the Earthen Rock Demon, making it very angry. It wasn’t be willing to retreat without hitting back.

“Hng!” an enraged cry resembling that of a pig was suddenly heard from the ravine several hundred meters in. The Earthen Rock Demon’s spear had obviously struck its target, enraging that unknown exotic beast.

“Quickly, come chase us out here! Let me see what kind of an exotic beast you are!” Staying on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back, Zhang Che narrowed his eyes, trying his best to look into the ravine. Regretfully, the fog was too thick. He couldn’t see what was in there clearly.

However, he saw a blurry black silhouette as large as an armored car, becoming clearer and clearer. That epic-quality exotic beast was obviously charging out here.

“That fellow didn’t seem very fast!”

After a rough estimation, Zhang Che realized the exotic beast’s charging speed wasn’t as fast as he had imagined

Compared to his subdued beasts and pets, Zhang Che noticed that exotic beast’s speed was only on par with the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus at best. Even the Earthen Rock Demon was a little faster than it.

It was no wonder it chose to conceal itself in this ravine. With its speed, it probably wouldn’t be able to catch up to many prey during its hunt for food.

Of course, no matter how slow that exotic beast was, it was only in relative terms. After Zhang Che discovered its silhouette in the fog, it only took the exotic beast about three seconds to charge out of the fog and appear before him.

After seeing the exotic beast’s true appearance, Zhang Che’s eyes nearly popped out!

It was actually a freaking pig!

Although the pig had six tusks, and its body as large as a heavy tank covered by dense black bristles, its basic characteristics were that of a pig. The loud thumping sounds produced by its black hooves when charging was the best proof.

Since when was a pig able to evolve to this extent, reaching epic-quality? Zhang Che felt this world was really too ridiculous.

Of course, Zhang Che wouldn’t underestimate the exotic beast just because it had the appearance of a pig. Since it could reach epic-quality, and perhaps even high-tier, it wouldn’t be ordinary, even if it was a pig. If Zhang Che fought it carelessly, he might not be its match!

“Hng!”

The pig-like epic-quality exotic beast immediately saw the hill-like Earthen Rock Demon after charging out of the fog. It quickly realized it was this thing that had attacked it earlier. Its eyes turned bloody-red, its six tusks straightened, and it charged at the Earthen Rock Demon without slowing a beat!
