Two Mysterious Young Individuals
Rubble and dismembered human body parts littered the roads of Pill City. That was credited to the golden-winged dapeng when it spread its wings. If it wanted, it could devour the entire city in one go. Pill Valley’s adepts were in the city to console the people and assist in repairs.
Yang Tian went on his way straight to the door leading to Primitive Forest. Outside the city, he saw the ginormous landmark the dapeng left behind with its claws – collapsed mountains. Instead of rubble and human remains, there was damaged landscape and dismembered Fierce Beasts. As he treaded further in, he discovered the area was dead silent; not a single Mutated Beast was around. Not one escaped. The death toll estimate was in the thousands.
Yang Tian brought out a map of the outer perimeter.
I need to travel kilometres deep to enter the demon race’s turf.
Yang Xiao: “This might be to our advantage. I doubt beasts would dare to step in here again. Consider it a free profit.”
Yang Tian was quite certain there were Mutated Beasts inside. The blood and essence lingered for a long time after they died, which would be perfect for the Yang trio.
Aware of Li Clan’s two Battle Emperor’s on their tail, Yang Xiao suggested, “Let’s get rid of the two on our tail first.”
Li Clan’s Peak Battle Emperor duo appeared. Their surprise was almost instantly replaced with insidious looks.
“Yang Tian, I really wonder if you are brave or plain foolish.”
Yang Tian: “And you think I would lure you here without a trick up my sleeve?”
The two elders froze in place before figuratively raising their guard. Once they composed themselves, one of them condescendingly said, “You sound as if you’d even pose a challenge.”
“How about me?” Yang Xiao emerged with the corners of his lips tugged up.
Yang Ba finally saw Yang Xiao.
The two elders bolted the other way without a second thought, taking off as fast as their legs could take them. Yang Xiao had other plans for them.
Yang Xiao performed a vacuum palm, bending the void and dragging the two back down violently. Their heavy landing’s impact gusted up a field of dirt. Next, Yang Xiao slammed their skulls into mush using just one massive palm attack from above.
Yang Ba saluted Yang Xiao, while Yang Xiao was interested in Yang Ba’s most recent killing formation. While the two engaged in a hearty conversation, Yang Tian was left bewildered as he was ignorant on the topic.
The majority of people lived in panic since the devils surfaced. News of the man in white’s immeasurable prowess also rapidly spread to half of the continent. As a matter of fact, the Alchemy Convention and golden-winged dapeng were dumped in obscurity thanks to him.
Yang Tian was hundreds of kilometres deep in the forest after two days, but he had yet to see any life forms. Regardless, he collected plenty of Mutated Beast’s blood and essence. When he trained his sights on a corpse the size of a small mountain, he noticed a big hole in its forehead. “Somebody was here!”
Yang Xiao scanned the corpse Yang Tian mentioned. “It doesn’t have any Blood and Essence left.”
“I suppose we need to pick up the pace.”
The farther they went, the more valuable the Mutated Beasts found were. Somebody was ahead of them. In order to collect the blood and essence, Yang Tian didn’t get any shut eye or rest. It was an opportunity of a lifetime, after all.
The massive forest suffered awful damage. The blood and qi of Mutated Beasts he came across henceforth had been drained. Yang Tian began to feel frustrated when he didn’t gain anything after wandering the forest for so long. He began complaining until he suddenly spotted vials inside an interspatial ring; that elevated his mood again.
Not long after Yang Tian moved along, two young men with incredible life forces appeared in the distance. Both of them donned beast fur for clothing. Their eyebrows were thick and hair was messy. Their steps left slits in the ground. The chubby one armed himself with a bloody bone sixty-seven centimetres long. His thin companion had bright and large eyes akin to black gems. His face and body were stained with blood. He wore a bracelet with pearls the size of a pebbles containing a mysterious energy. Aforementioned mysterious energy granted him the ability to manifest a raging Mutated Beast.
The slim individual’s voice and eyes didn’t match. His voice sounded as though he time travelled from the ancient era as his pronunciation was different to pronunciation in the current era. It wouldn’t have been surprising if others didn’t understand him.
“What the hell is this place? There isn’t a single soul here.”
The chubby individual: “I think we’re lost. This is quite the place. I mean, Divine Beasts were here, and look at all the odd monsters we found dead.”
Wiping his blood-stained face, the skinny individual griped, “The energy here is awfully weak and low quality. We need to find a way back.”
“We’ll see. The blood and essence here may be low quality but enough to refine a decent number of elixir pools.”
The chubby individual single-handedly picked up a beast weighing fifty tonnes and started a fire to grill the thing. He skinned the beast quickly and tossed it into a large copper furnace to cook. “Ji, throw the ingredients in.”
