Chapter 168: Strange Beast Appears

The concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was absolutely no less than the mansion where Wuming lived.

Of course, the reason it could possess such a high concentration of Spiritual Qi was that there was a five-hundred-year interval between each opening of the cave.

This time, the cave had no specified time limit.

Once the Spiritual Qi and the power of the elemental Law within the cave became thin, the Cultivators would naturally leave the cave.

At this moment, Bing Ranxue emerged from her sleeve.

Suddenly, a Spiritual Qi vortex formed around her.

A large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the power of the wood elemental Law from the surroundings gathered toward her.

Ever since she completely transformed her Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline.

Her cultivation speed was countless times faster than before.

"Given this concentration of Spiritual Qi, one could quickly improve their cultivation even without seeking other Opportunities," He Ruoxi said.

"Opportunities must still be sought," Bing Cheng said, while splitting off a Clone.

She then handed the Storage Ring containing the Puppet and numerous Saint Grade Magic Treasures to the Clone.

"I will send a Clone to look around and see what Opportunities exist."

He Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly; she had already guessed the reason for Bing Cheng's actions.

The Clone left.

She needed to first find the Yin Family Cultivators and refine some skin.

Then rendezvous with Luo Tianqing.

Use the Soul-Chasing Art to find the main body of Luo Tianlin.

Meanwhile, Bing Cheng and the others were searching the mountain forest for that so-called great Opportunity.

What made her feel puzzled was this.

Although the roars of Yao Beasts were incessant, she did not see the shadow of a single Yao Beast.

It seemed that there were only these towering trees in the mountain forest.

Suddenly, she remembered the wood-attribute area in the Small World of Dongfang City.

Could this place be the same?

But when she spread out her Divine Sense, she discovered that these towering trees had no cultivation.

Nor did they have a Divine Soul.

"Strange, how strange."

"Sister, where have the Yao Beasts hidden?" Bing Ranxue rubbed her little pink fists. Since transforming into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, she had not engaged in any real battle.

At most, she had only sparred with the Puppet.

But the Puppet could only exert the strength of a Half-step Unity Stage at most, which was simply not enough for her to fight.

Even if Bing Cheng split her Divine Soul to control the Puppet, she was still no match for her.

"Let's keep looking; perhaps the Yao Beasts here are more cautious," said Bing Cheng.

Just at this moment.

Bing Ranxue frowned tightly and looked toward a towering tree.

The branches of this towering tree were swaying, not as if blown by a gentle breeze.

Bing Cheng and He Ruoxi also noticed something wrong and cast their gazes toward this towering tree.

The frequency of the rustling sounds increased.

Two breaths later.

A completely green, unidentified Strange Beast emerged from within it.

It killed toward the three of them at extreme speed.

This Yao Beast had a wolf's head, but its body resembled a mantis, possessing two huge forelimbs.

Its size was not large, less than five zhang.

Bing Cheng's expression was strange; she secretly sighed at the creations of Heaven and Earth, that such Strange Beasts could actually exist.

"Did a wolf Yao Beast go off the rails, or did a mantis Yao Beast have an affair?"

Up to this point, Bing Cheng still had not sensed the aura of the Yao Beast.

The Strange Beast was like a dead object; it did not even possess any vitality.

"Be careful," Bing Cheng said, then wrapped her arms around He Ruoxi and pulled back to increase the distance from the Strange Beast.

Bing Ranxue, however, could no longer restrain herself.

She transformed into a golden Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Because the Strange Beast was relatively small, she also compressed her own size to five zhang in length.

"Roar…"

The high-pitched dragon roar spread throughout the surrounding mountain forest.

The Strange Beast's body trembled slightly, seemingly suppressed by Bing Ranxue's Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline, giving rise to fear.

It was not just it.

There was considerable movement on almost every towering tree in the vicinity.

It seemed that there were many Yao Beasts hidden among them.

While the Strange Beast was in a trance, Bing Ranxue killed her way to its front.

The golden dragon claw suddenly slammed down.

As if possessing heaven-reaching power.

Before the dragon claw struck the Strange Beast.

A part of the Strange Beast's body shattered.

Green blood gushed out wildly.

The towering trees below were stained with the green blood, becoming even more lush and green.

Bing Cheng sensed the rich power of the wood elemental Law within the green blood.

"Could it be that the Opportunity within the cave refers to this?"

If it was as she thought.

She really couldn't bring herself to do it; after all, swallowing fresh blood still seemed a bit strange.

Especially since the blood of such a Strange Beast was green.

It seemed even more disgusting.

"Awoo…"

The Strange Beast wailed in pain.

Its two huge forelimbs slashed down toward Bing Ranxue.

They easily shattered the Void Realm, showing its terrifying strength.

Only until this moment did Bing Cheng perceive the cultivation of the Strange Beast.

It actually had a Unity Peak Stage cultivation.

Truly, one cannot judge by appearances.

"Well come!" Bing Ranxue laughed.

A faint Bright Moon radiance erupted from her golden body.

After the tempering of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Array, her Physical Body strength had also broken through to the Bright Moon level.

"Clang! Clang!"

Two sounds of metal clashing rang out.

Even though the Strange Beast possessed Unity Peak Stage cultivation, it could only leave two white marks on Bing Ranxue; it could not break her defense.

"Roar!"

Another dragon roar.

The Strange Beast fell into a trance again.

Bing Ranxue's dragon claw gripped its neck.

A larger dragon claw phantom manifested on her dragon claw.

"Rip."

Instantly, it tore the wolf head of the Strange Beast off.

A large amount of green blood gushed from its neck.

"Ranxue, collect this blood," Bing Cheng reminded; even if the three of them didn't drink it, others would.

Upon hearing this, Bing Ranxue continuously channeled Spiritual Qi from within her body, forming a spherical Spiritual Qi barrier, enveloping herself and the Strange Beast within it.

The gushing green blood was caught by the Spiritual Qi barrier.

Immediately, she crushed the wolf head into powder.

There was actually no Divine Soul within the wolf head.

The neck of the Strange Beast, which was still gushing green blood, suddenly sprouted another wolf head, and its powerful forelimbs slashed down once more.

Unlike before.

This time, the Strange Beast's forelimbs were wrapped in dense wood Spiritual Qi, emitting a terrifying aura.

The attack became even more powerful.

"Be careful," He Ruoxi hurriedly warned.

Just at this moment.

The surrounding towering trees began to stir.

Strange Beasts kept emerging from them.

A crowd of Strange Beasts all had animal Yao Beast heads, but their bodies were those of various insects.

Their number was probably in the dozens.

They did not hide their cultivation.

The lowest was at the Late Unity Stage, and there were also Half-step Yuhua Cultivators present.

"Are there so many of them?" Bing Cheng frowned.

These Strange Beasts were very strange.

Although she could sense their cultivation, she could not sense the existence of their Divine Souls.

Living beings without a Divine Soul?

The Strange Beasts did not come toward Bing Cheng and He Ruoxi; it seemed they were not interested in the two of them.

Instead, they crazily attacked Bing Ranxue's Spiritual Qi barrier.

Some Strange Beasts even extended their tongues to lick the Spiritual Qi barrier; where they licked, there was green blood.

It was not just the Strange Beasts.

Countless branches also attacked.

Whipping against the Spiritual Qi barrier.

Even though Bing Ranxue was now a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, facing so many attacks.

The Spiritual Qi barrier also developed cracks.

Showing signs of shattering.
