The next day.
In the middle of the barren forest, there was a slightly damp open space. Clouds of hazy miasma gave off a faint purple glow, causing the surrounding flowers and plants to wither.
The glow of dusk was elegant and warm, leaving bits of mottled light in the dark forest outside the miasma.
Whoosh!!
Two sounds broke the air, creating some ripples on the mottled light.
In front of the ripples, two black figures landed. One of them was wrapped in a black robe, it was Qin Shi. Beside him was Yu Luocha, with her black hair falling like a waterfall.
On their waists were the Netherworld and the Nirvana Swords.
Between the two blades, there was a very thin and shallow spirit light, quietly connecting the two sword handles.
Ever since Hades saw Silent Destruction, it refused to return to the space ring. Qin Shi tried to forcefully take it back several times, but not only did he not succeed, he was almost stabbed by the furious Hades.
Because of this, he couldn't help but curse, "Forgetting friends!"
Looking at the defeated Qin Shi, Yu Luocha's cold expression changed slightly. She followed the two of them to the miasma of Misty Shadow Mountain, "This is it. Inject spirit energy into the mammoth's tusk, and you can create a barrier equal to the miasma."
Yu Luocha explained faintly, then hung the mammoth's tusk on her neck. A trace of spirit energy as gentle as water merged with the top of the tusk, and a three-meter-long barrier spread out.
"Damn, why?"
Looking at Yu Luocha's beautiful appearance, Qin Shi clicked his tongue, but became dissatisfied.
He lowered his head and looked at the mammoth's tusk in his hand. Not only was it ugly, but it was also very large. Even if he carried it on his back, it would look very awkward, let alone on his neck.
But Yu Luocha's tusk was very beautiful, shining with a faint fluorescence in the dusk.
Comparing the two, it was like a live version of beauty and the beast.
What was even more helpless was that when Qin Shi's five fingers were wrapped with eternal spirit light, trying to make the tusk into the shape he wanted, he unexpectedly found that the tusk was extremely hard, and could not be polished at all.
"Why?
Mine is so ugly! "
"This piece of mine is the tusk of a young mammoth. Moreover, it was only obtained after several years of grinding. Back then, after you hunted it, you thought that it was useless, so you casually threw it into your space ring. You should be satisfied that you found it." Yu Luocha said faintly.
"…" Qin Shi clicked his tongue. In the end, he couldn't be bothered to make a fuss about it. He could only carry the mammoth tusk on his back. He felt like he was carrying a dead person on his back. It was extremely embarrassing.
"This young master is a natural beauty!
I'm not afraid of being affected! "
"Pfft!" Even someone as cold as Yu Luocha couldn't help but laugh.
The two of them put up a barrier at the same time. Without wasting any more time, they directly rushed into the miasma.
As expected, with the barrier, the miasma was assimilated the moment it came into contact with the barrier. Furthermore, the barrier became stronger after absorbing the miasma.
"It's really good stuff."
His slender fingers reached out from his black robe. After raising his hand, it set off a ripple on the barrier's halo. A very weak spiritual power actually entered his body from the ripple.
"Yes, the Silver Halberd Mammoth is a top fierce beast that has rushed into the Ancient Fierce Beast List. Its tusk can turn dirty into pure and holy. It is a rare treasure." Yu Luocha nodded.
"Ancient Fierce Beast List?"
Qin Shi frowned. Previously, when he used the Blood Dragon Demonic Talisman on Burning Sky Mountain Peak, he had heard Zhao Yan and the others mention it. However, he had never known about it.
Hearing it again, he couldn't help but be curious.
"You don't know?" Yu Luocha was a little surprised.
"Uh … Must I know?"
Qin Shi blinked. Looking at Yu Luocha's surprised and disdainful expression, he felt a little unhappy.
It was one thing to be looked down upon by others, but not being looked down upon by a beautiful woman was a disgrace.
"That's not it. It's normal for ordinary people not to know about the Ancient Fierce Beast List. However, it is indeed surprising for a Talisman Magician who is close to Four-Vein Talisman Magician not to know about it," Yu Luocha said faintly.
Clang!
His heart tightened. As his black robe fluttered in the wind, he emitted a little vigilance. "How did you know?"
"I felt it when I was treating your injuries. Moreover, if it wasn't for your powerful Mental Energy, even if the Nirvana Sword deliberately showed mercy, you would still have been petrified after being enveloped by its sword light." Yu Luocha's beautiful eyes slightly raised.
Hearing this, Qin Shi came to a sudden realization.
Shortly after, he looked at Yu Luocha with a slightly strange gaze. He felt that Yu Luocha seemed to know everything. He was completely transparent in front of her.
But on the contrary, what made Qin Shi unhappy was that he knew nothing about Yu Luocha. He didn't even know the most basic age and name. Yu Luocha was clearly a nickname.
"What exactly is this Ancient Fierce Beast List?"
After a moment of silence, Qin Shi couldn't be bothered to bicker and asked.
Lightly raising her head, Yu Luocha looked at the hazy sky filled with miasma and said, "The Ancient Fierce Beast List … As the name suggests, it ranks the Ancient Fierce Beasts. During the Ancient Era, the Demon Territory dominated the world and the Fierce Beasts were rampant. At that time, the Fierce Beasts had pure bloodlines and were extremely powerful."
"Later on, the strongest one thousand Fierce Beasts were ranked. But now, the list is already broken and there are very few Wild Beasts recorded. The top one hundred Fierce Beasts on the Divine List have long been lost."
"Divine List?"
"Yes, the Fierce Beasts on the Ancient Fierce Beast List are called the Fierce Beasts on the Divine List. Any one of them on the Divine List is rumored to have the power to destroy the world." When mentioning this, Yu Luocha revealed a rare fear.
"So it's like that …"
Qin Shi nodded and asked, "This Silver-Halberd Mammoth is one of the ferocious beasts on this list?"
"Yes, it's ranked nine hundred and ninety-seven."
"Hiss —" Gasping, Qin Shi clicked his tongue and thought, "Such a powerful Fierce Beast is only ranked nine hundred and ninety-seven?
It barely made it onto the list? "
This news caused Qin Shi to tremble endlessly with shock.
What kind of existence were the Fierce Beasts that were ranked on the Divine List?
"If I can refine the Fierce Beasts on the Divine List into Demonic Charms … Hehe, I'll be rich, I'll be rich!"
Glancing at Qin Shi who was grinning lewdly, Yu Luocha naturally poured a bucket of cold water, "Stop dreaming. Let's not talk about the fact that the Fierce Beasts on the Divine List have already fallen along with the two devils during the ancient war. Just the power that it possesses is not something that ordinary people can control. Refine Demonic Charms?
Dream on! "
"…"
Like a bucket of cold water, Qin Shi glanced at her and said leisurely, "Damn, you won't let me even in my dreams?
So what if I'm dreaming?
I'm dreaming of marrying a wife in broad daylight! "
"…"
Suddenly, Yu Luocha was speechless. She realized that Qin Shi was really a rascal. In the end, she couldn't help but curse, "Pervert!"
Along the way, the two of them were silent once again. This time, they were truly silent. Yu Luocha was a person of few words. No matter what Qin Shi said, she would only say 'en', 'oh', 'okay' or 'no'.
In this regard, Qin Shi felt bored and rolled his eyes. He was really speechless about Yu Luocha's purity.
But fortunately, after Yu Luocha finished explaining the Ancient Fierce Beasts List to Qin Shi, she handed Qin Shi a broken record of the Ancient Fierce Beasts List, which recorded many Fierce Beasts on the list.
With this record, Qin Shi could reluctantly entertain himself.
At night, he flipped through the list under the misty gray moon. This time, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Some familiar Wild Beasts appeared.
"Proud Sky Winged Tiger, Fierce Beasts List Ranking: 999?"
Holding the Fierce Beasts List, Qin Shi couldn't help but smack his lips. Wasn't this the Proud Sky Winged Tiger he had met before?
He still had the Proud Sky Winged Tiger's demonic rune in his hand, so he couldn't help but be happy.
Flipping further, he saw the Bloodthirsty Berserk Dragon, ranked 980th, the Demonic Leopard, the Black Mountain Spider, the Thousand Year Illusion Demon, and the Charming Fox.
The last four were all ranked 970th, which made Qin Shi think of the Black Panther, the White Fox, and the Snow Eagle.
On the list, the Charming Fox's innate charm was recorded. The Fox Clan's charm art was the most powerful existence in the world, which was how the Fox Spirit came into being.
"Worries Corpse Worm, ranked 900?"
"Wow, who would've thought that the Worries Corpse Worm would be on the list?" Qin Shi couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Yu Luocha started a bonfire and nodded: "The Worries Corpse Worm is impervious to fire and water, and is indestructible. In the ancient times, even the God Ranking Fierce Beasts didn't dare to provoke them."
Qin Shi nodded. That was indeed the case. If it wasn't for the Life Replenishing Fruit in this forest, even a Cryptic Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to live for more than three days, right?
That kind of strength was too terrifying.
"Huh?"
But as he flipped through the list, Qin Shi frowned unhappily. He flipped all the way to the 300th place, and there were no more records on the list. But he still couldn't find the Rainbow Lucky Cloud Snake's position, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
My Little Mi Cai isn't on the list?
That's impossible, my Little Mi Cai is so powerful.
After a moment of dissatisfaction, he tried to comfort himself that there must be no record before the 300th place. Only then would he feel better.
But at the same time, when he thought of Little Mi Cai, he thought about it. Ever since they parted ways in the Burning Heaven Secret Realm, it had been half a year since he last saw her. He wondered where she was now.
"Little girl, how are you?"
Raising his head to look at the starry sky, Qin Shi softly humphed: "Didn't they say that the starry sky would convey the longing in one's heart?
Little girl, if you hear me, you must live well and wait for me to come find you! "
Yu Luocha, who was beside the bonfire, looked at Qin Shi. Looking at his angular face under the light of the fire, she couldn't help but be stunned.
In a short moment, her beautiful eyes became unfocused.
Weng!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
But at this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly reverberated in the forest, followed by three consecutive loud noises.
This brought Yu Luocha out of her thoughts, and she realized that she had lost her composure. She shook her head with all her might, and thought to herself: "What's wrong with me?
After so many years of silence, why was his heart beating so fast recently?
Could it be because of him? "
"Impossible!
Yu Luocha, have you forgotten your mission?
You don't have much time left, and you can't waste it on love! "
Yu Luocha tried her best to be vigilant. She bit the tip of her tongue, and a pungent smell of blood spread in her mouth.
How ruthless.
Not noticing the change in Yu Luocha, Qin Shi put away the list and stood up in shock: "What's going on?"
The three sudden explosions caused Qin Shi to tighten his black robe vigilantly. Following that, his gaze was like two bitingly cold streams as he looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
In the next moment, his pupils tightened.
