Chapter 185
“Clang!”
After the wooden sword sent the last jackal flying, it drew a perfect trajectory in the air. All the filth and dog blood on the sword flew out. After that, the wooden sword was sheathed by Xiao Chen.
“Swish!”
Once again, Xiao Chen gently hugged Big Yellow with his right hand. His eyes, which had turned slightly red due to all the killing, were slowly fading away. His eyes had turned red without going berserk. This was the first time something like this had happened. Of course, Xiao Chen didn’t know about it. He threw a glance in front of him with an indifferent expression. After confirming the direction, he continued running.
The Great Wilderness was indeed incomparably dangerous. Xiao Chen had only been in the periphery for half a day, but he had already encountered hundreds of desolate beasts of various grades. The lower grade desolate beasts naturally did not dare to provoke the murderous Xiao Chen. However, there were still quite a number of 3rd and 4th grade desolate beasts that attacked Xiao Chen.
Against the attacks of desolate beasts that were below Grade 5, Xiao Chen did not dodge. He used the weapon in his hand and killed them without batting an eye.
During this time, Xiao Chen felt the aura of a Grade 5 desolate beast, Saber-toothed Tiger. He did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he took a detour.
“Grandpa, please don’t let anything happen to you!”
The appearance of the Saber-toothed Tiger caused Xiao Chen’s originally uneasy heart to become even more uneasy. He could not help but increase his speed to the limit. Sometimes, he would even use his unknown God’s Gift to increase his speed, just so he could reach the cave that he and his grandpa lived in.
Xiao Chen’s release of his powerful God’s Gift had frightened countless wild beasts and desolate beasts in the periphery of the Great Wilderness. Suddenly, the peaceful periphery of the Great Wilderness was thrown into chaos by Xiao Chen.
The Great Wilderness was incomparably vast. The area that Xiao Chen could affect was only a small area in the periphery of the Great Wilderness. It was not even a millionth of the area.
And the Great Wilderness had an even wider inner and central region. One could imagine how vast the entire Great Wilderness was; it was almost impossible to estimate.
There were countless dragons, snakes, tigers, and wolves lurking in the Great Wilderness. Since ancient times, even the gods had to stop here. It was known as the Broken Halberd Land. No one had ever dared to enter the depths.
If one could occasionally see a powerful Grade 5 desolate beast in the periphery, one could infer that Grade 5 desolate beasts could be seen everywhere in the inner and central regions. If Grade 5 desolate beasts could be seen everywhere, there would naturally be even more powerful Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8, and Grade 9 desolate beasts.
A sixth-grade desolate beast, the Lion King, was enough to wipe out the entire Death God Tribe. If one or two seventh-grade, eighth-grade, or even ninth-grade desolate beasts appeared in the Death God Tribe, it would be a disaster for the Death God Tribe.
Once a desolate beast’s strength reached the sixth grade, its intelligence wouldn’t be much lower than a human’s. Take the Lion King Da Huang for example. Da Huang’s strength was enough to be the king of the desolate beasts in the inner region of the vast wilderness. If its strength were to go up another level and enter the seventh grade, it would have a place in the central region of the vast wilderness.
After all, desolate beasts of Grade 7 and above were very rare. Even human Dragon Elephant Realm powerhouses were the same. If Buried Heaven did not return to the Godslayer Tribe, there might not be any Dragon Elephant Realm powerhouses in the Godslayer Tribe.
Desolate beasts and human warriors were similar. They could cultivate, but their cultivation methods were different. Moreover, cultivation for desolate beasts was much more difficult than cultivation for humans. Humans had cultivation techniques, but desolate beasts did not. Desolate beasts mainly cultivated to strengthen their bodies through constant battles. In addition, a desolate beast’s Neidan could absorb the essence of the sun and moon, slowly becoming stronger and advancing.
Of course, desolate beasts also had a powerful shortcut, which was to devour other desolate beasts’ Neidan to strengthen their own Neidan. This method was a little cruel, but for desolate beasts, it was common. Killing or being killed was a fact that a desolate beast had to accept since it was born.
If a desolate beast wanted to survive, it had to constantly kill its enemy beasts. Otherwise, it would only become food for the enemy beasts. This was even crueler than human warriors.
The Lion King Da Huang was definitely not a Grade 6 desolate beast when it was born. It had also grown up through slaughter. Even though its beast blood was noble, it had experienced countless battles of life and death. It was impossible for it to become a powerful The Lion King!
However, the nobility of a desolate beast’s bloodline also determined the final achievements of a desolate beast. For example, it was not strange for a desolate beast like the Big-toothed Wild Boar to become a Grade 3 desolate beast, but it was difficult for it to become a Grade 4 desolate beast. It was almost impossible for it to become a Grade 5 desolate beast. However, it was relatively easy for a Lion to become a Grade 5 desolate beast. This was the difference in nobility of bloodline.
A desolate beast’s bloodline was equivalent to a human’s talent. Human warriors with good talent would naturally cultivate faster than those with poor talent.
The more monstrous talent one had, in addition to hard work, the faster one’s cultivation speed would be. Take Xiao Chen for example. Xiao Chen had a mysterious God’s Gift that was even more advanced than the Berserk God’s Gift. Coupled with his hard work, he was able to reach the peak of the White Tiger Realm at the age of 17 or 18. He could enter the Blood Bear Realm at any time and become a strong warrior with decent strength.
“Roar!” “Howl!”
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, night had fallen in the Great Wilderness. The originally not very lively Great Wilderness was now filled with the roars of wild beasts and desolate beasts. When mixed together, it sounded like the roars of demons. It was extremely terrifying, causing people’s scalps to go numb and shudder.
Night was the main time when desolate beasts hunted for food and mates. It sounded a little unbelievable, but it was the truth.
Therefore, other than those especially strong warriors, if human warriors wanted to enter the Great Wilderness to hunt desolate beasts or to train, it was best to choose the day. Desolate beasts roamed freely at night, and the danger level was very high. If one was not careful, they could be buried in the stomachs of powerful desolate beasts.
“Swish!”
In a huge basin, a black figure was sprinting like a black panther. His movements were agile and swift. The basin was filled with unknown weeds that reached the height of a person’s shoulders. The black figure ran in and out of sight, not worrying about any hidden pythons or venomous insects. He was truly audacious.
This black figure was naturally Xiao Chen.
According to common sense, Xiao Chen would not choose to travel in the Great Wilderness at night, much less travel alone in such a huge basin filled with lush weeds. However, Xiao Chen chose to do so.
Could it be that Xiao Chen had turned stupid?
Why was he acting so rashly?
In fact, Xiao Chen understood all of this. However, he was so anxious to return home that he couldn’t care too much.
The basin he was in was incomparably huge, and he couldn’t see the edge of it. If he were to circle around the edge, he would need a day’s time. Xiao Chen didn’t have that much time, so he could only take the risk.
Xiao Chen had walked through this basin before. Half a year ago, when he left the Great Wilderness, he also passed through this basin. That time, he was accompanied by Da Huang, so nothing dangerous happened, and he smoothly passed through.
This time, although he was accompanied by Da Huang, Da Huang didn’t have any vitality. Furthermore, he was walking at night. He didn’t know if he could safely pass through this basin.
Suddenly!
“Peng, peng, peng …”
The dense grassland in the distance emitted a strange sound similar to that of a reptile. It made one’s hair stand on end, and it made one’s heart tremble with fear.
From the sounds, it seemed like there were quite a number of them. Xiao Chen was in trouble, and his life might even be in danger. What kind of desolate beast was this?
Was it of a high grade?
