Trees towered into the sky, thorns covered the ground, and mist was dense. Insects and beasts were lurking.
This was the Paleo-beast Realm. Mountains and hills were everywhere. There were no roads to speak of.
Lu Li was here. If he were not a warrior, he would not be able to move forward.
Of course, this was not a problem for Lu Li. He moved forward like a fox. He did not even touch a leaf.
His psychic power had locked onto the best route. He dashed toward a huge mountain ahead.
Ahead of him was a mountain with a height of more than one hundred miles. The mountain was filled with beast lairs. Looking from afar, the mountain looked like a giant beehive with caves and beast lairs everywhere.
The beasts living in the mountain were strange Xuan Beasts. They were shaped like wolves but had a horn on their noses.
Their eyes were dark blue and their fur was blue as well. They were beautiful. There were spikes on their knees and their tusks were long and sharp like those of rhinos.
The average beasts were not of high ranks, only of the fifth rank. But Lu Li could tell with psychic power that some of the beasts had turned purple and blue, indicating that they were of the sixth rank.
If their fur had turned dark purple, then they would have reached the seventh rank.
"Woo, woo ~"
Some beasts were standing on the rocks outside the caves, howling at the moon in the sky. Their horns were glowing as if they were absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon to cultivate.
"Woo …"
The beasts were howling. Looking from the distance, Lu Li could see at least thousands of beasts standing on the rocks, howling at the moon.
"Well, there are only some Beast Kings. No Beast Gods!"
Lu Li checked for a while and then flew toward the mountain.
This time, he did not hide himself. He swaggered over.
"Woo, woo!"
Lu Li did not disguise his energy. In a moment, he was discovered by the beasts. One beast howled and hundreds of beasts were alarmed.
Many pairs of dark blue eyes looked over. Then, the beasts whooshed down.
It was a shocking scene. Under the moonlight, thousands of blue shadows were coming at Lu Li. Average warriors would have passed out from fear.
Lu Li's expressions didn't change at all. He flew on. Several beasts had already pounced on him. Lu Li shot out some Xuan Energy and smashed the beasts away.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
More and more beasts were coming down. The Bead of Life in Lu Li's abdomen glowed and the Feather Wind castle came out. The castle covered an area with a radius of several miles and thousands of beasts.
"Wu wu!"
The beasts could not withstand the soul attacks from the Feather Wind castle. Countless beasts began to roar. Then, many of the beasts passed out from the shock of the soul attacks.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
It was unknown how many strange beasts there were in this mountain. Above the mountain, streaks of blue light shot out in an endless stream.
Soon, Lu Li deactivated the Feather Wind castle. Then, he built another Feather Wind castle to envelop thousands of beasts.
"Buzz!"
After the time for a few breaths, Lu Li's Feather Wind castle vanished. The thousands of beasts that were enveloped by the castle fell to the ground like dizzy moths.
Lu Li's Feather Wind castle was the cruelest when it came to armies. Even if there were hundreds of millions of armies, after he released the Feather Wind castle for hundreds of times, the hundreds of millions would faint.
"Woo ~"
From the top of the mountain came some horrifying howls. Finally, the Beast Kings could not stand it anymore. They flew down from the peak.
Those Beast Kings were strange. They were not large, only the size of an average rhinoceros. That being said, the might of the beasts was horrifying.
The horns on their noses glowed. They were about to release some powerful skills.
"Hmm!"
Lu Li snorted. His eyes glowed in silver light. An invisible surge of beast might spread out, covering an area with a radius of dozens of miles.
The horns on the Beast Kings' noses were already glowing. Their eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
The four Beast Kings were highly intelligent. That was why they were surprised. They could clearly tell that Lu Li was a human. How could he release the might of a Beast God?
How could they not be shocked and confused?
"Buzzing!"
Lu Li released the Feather Wind castle and enveloped the Beast Kings. At the same time, he used the might of a Beast God to suppress them.
The Beast Kings could not fight back. They had to endure the soul attacks in the Feather Wind. Eventually, the four Beast Kings passed out.
"Whoosh!"
The Beast Kings were small in size. They could be taken away.
Lu Li dashed over and put the Beast Kings into the Wicked Bead. Then, he generated many hand silhouettes to crush the beasts. He also released many Feather Wind weapons to kill the beasts that were trying to run away.
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, the tens of thousands of beasts in the cave were all killed.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement came back. He took out his gourd again and set the mountain on fire to burn the corpses.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li waved his hand and left with Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Along the way, Lu Li would release the might of a Beast God to make sure that no bats were tailing them.
"Okay."
Hundreds of miles later, Lu Li said to Patriarch of Law Enforcement, "Great-grandpa, take the Wicked Bead with you. I will go in and get some information."
Lu Li went back into the Wicked Bead while Patriarch of Law Enforcement moved on.
Lu Li went to the outer hall where Zi Ji was. She understood the language of beasts. Lu Li wanted her to help him interrogate the beasts.
"What ~"
Lu Li took out some water and splashed it on the head of a Beast King. Soon, the Beast King woke up.
The might of a Beast God spread out from Lu Li and Zi Ji as well. The Beast King knelt on the ground in fear.
"Ask him if he can speak."
Lu Li turned to Zi Ji. Before she could say anything, the Beast King moved its mouth and said in the ancient language, "You are a human?"
"Well, you know the ancient language!"
Zi Ji didn't have to translate anymore. Lu Li could understand and speak the ancient language.
Using the ancient language, Lu Li said, "I am a human, but I am also a beast. You don't have to know the details. What is your name?
What race are you? "
After a moment of hesitation, the beast answered honestly. Lu Li's might of a Beast God could not fool anyone. Zi Ji was clearly a beast and a Beast God.
Also, many Beast Gods could transform into humans. The beast answered without hesitation, "Lord, my name is Jiao Yu. We are Horned Beasts."
Lu Li turned to Zi Ji who nodded. "Yes, they are Horned Beasts. In the ancient times, they were a powerful species. But they declined."
"You are Jiao Yu, right?"
Lu Li asked again in the ancient language, "What is the ranking of the powerful species in the Paleo-beast Realm? How many powerful warriors do each species have?"
A glint of doubt flashed across Jiao Yu's eyes. Why did Lu Li ask about this?
Every species in the Paleo-beast Realm knew about this. Was Lu Li not in the Paleo-beast Realm before?
"Do you think you can just say it?
One more word and I will kill you right now! "
Lu Li's might grew stronger. Jiao Yu said in a low voice, "There are seven powerful species in the Paleo-beast Realm. The strongest is the Nine-clawed Silver Dragon, the second is the Ghost Face Spider, the third is the Fairy Fox, the fourth is the Ten-winged Wolf, the fifth is the Three-eyed Blood Ape, the sixth is the Underworld Qiongqi, and the sixth is the Whip Haechi …"
"What?"
Both Lu Li and Zi Ji were surprised to hear this.
Zi Ji mentioned that there were seven major species among the paleo-beasts. But many of them did not match up.
