Ling Xiao looked at Wei Daier, who had a satisfied smile on her face as she left. He felt that this girl's battle prowess was truly formidable. She had actually fought a few hundred rounds with an expert like him, and now she had gone into the forest to hunt spirit beasts. This kind of battle prowess was truly admirable to Ling Xiao.
However, Ling Xiao could feel that Wei Daier had completely returned to the bold and passionate woman from before.
It seemed that her strength had already caught up to his, which was why she had let go of her state of mind.
"Prodigal brat, I'm coming for you." Ling Xiao shook his head and looked towards the depths of the forest as he muttered.
When he returned to the Desolate Mountain Range, he felt a familiar aura, as if something was calling out to him.
Back then, he had met the Fire Qilin here. Later on, he had established a deep friendship with the Fire Qilin, but it had left after he obtained the Blue Demon Fire Pearl.
Ling Xiao knew that it must have returned to its God Race to do what it was supposed to do.
After being separated for a few years, it was time for Ling Xiao to visit his old friend.
The Golden Wolf King had once said that the Fire Qilin was the prince of their Beast Race, and the Beast Emperor was in the depths of this mountain range. Therefore, if he wanted to find the Fire Qilin, he had to go to the depths of this mountain range.
It was unknown how many terrifying high-level spirit beasts there were in this mountain range. Even an Earth Emperor wouldn't dare to go too deep.
However, Ling Xiao didn't care that much. If he wanted to do something, even nine bulls wouldn't be able to pull him back.
"Xiao Long, Xiao Jin, come out." Ling Xiao summoned his spirit beasts.
A miniature version of a blue flood dragon stared at Ling Xiao's waist as if it was acting as a belt for him.
A golden-white wolf king howled at the sky, looking extremely majestic.
This was also the Golden Wolf King's old haunt, and it was obviously very happy to return to a familiar place.
Following its cry, the howls of wolves rang out nearby as well.
Ling Xiao jumped onto the wolf's back and patted its head, "Stop being horny. Bring me to the Beast Emperor's territory."
The Golden Wolf King cried out, "Master, I'm not horny."
Whoosh!
A golden shadow turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed forward.
The depths of the mountains seemed endless. Ling Xiao and the Golden Wolf King had been running for five days, but they still had a long way to go.
Along the way, Ling Xiao had witnessed the terror of the mountain range.
Currently, just the outermost part of the inner circle was already filled with spirit beasts ranging from the third to the fifth rank. Occasionally, they would even discover the presence of beast hordes.
Ling Xiao didn't have the time to kill and train here. Most of the time, he let the Golden Wolf King release its powerful aura to scare away the Spirit Beasts. When it encountered Rank 5 Spirit Beasts, the Blue Flood Dragon would come out.
With them around, Ling Xiao had a lot less trouble, and at the same time, he also harvested a lot of third to fifth rank spiritual herbs.
One must know that there were many resources in the depths of this mountain range that had yet to be excavated.
Even though some experts from various sects had gone there to mine for resources, how much could they gain from the high-rank spirit beasts that were constantly coming and going?
The deeper they went, the stronger the spirit beasts they encountered.
On the sixth day, sixth-rank spirit beasts often appeared.
If it wasn't for the Blue Flood Dragon, the Golden Wolf King would have run away in fear.
The Golden Wolf King, which had always been majestic, was now slowly moving forward with Ling Xiao on its trembling legs.
Ling Xiao scolded, "With your appearance, this young master's face has been completely lost by you."
The Golden Wolf King looked around with fear in its eyes, "Mas … Master, there's … there's a lot of powerful auras."
"Forget it, you coward. Go back and rest." Ling Xiao knew that when low-rank spirit beasts faced high-rank spirit beasts, they wouldn't be able to hide their fear.
He decided that he had to increase the Golden Wolf King's strength as soon as possible.
At this time, the Blue Flood Dragon that was tied to Ling Xiao's waist let out a roar, and its large eyes revealed a vigilant look.
Cold sweat slowly dripped down Ling Xiao's forehead. His mental power had already scanned the area with a few spirit beasts that were no lower than rank 6.
"Oh my, it seems like we can only escape by flying," Ling Xiao muttered to himself, then he patted the Blue Flood Dragon's head.
The Blue Flood Dragon understood and roared, then it instantly grew to tens of meters long.
Ling Xiao quickly jumped onto the dragon's back and shouted, "Xiaolong, let's go!"
The Blue Flood Dragon immediately soared into the sky, causing the nearby trees to sway.
After the Blue Flood Dragon flew up, a few strange sounds were heard, then a few beasts suddenly appeared behind them.
Fortunately, the Blue Flood Dragon was faster, and the rank 6 spirit beasts didn't go all out, so they were able to avoid a disaster.
Ling Xiao sighed a breath of relief, but he noticed that the Blue Flood Dragon seemed to be in a panic.
Ling Xiao didn't dare to be careless, so he spread his mental power in all directions like a tide.
However, before he could search, a hoarse and unpleasant voice was heard, "Damned human, how dare you trespass into my territory! You're courting death!"
The hoarse voice was very harsh, and it made Ling Xiao's eardrums feel like they were being cut.
The Blue Flood Dragon was frightened by the voice and stopped in its tracks, then it let out a shocking roar.
Dragons Tenbin Divine Ability, Appear!
Along with the roar, the nearby trees were shaken to the point of collapse and flying.
At the same time, a huge beast shadow appeared 300 meters in front of them.
"Seventh … Seventh rank Yellow-Winged Mantis!" Ling Xiao exclaimed.
In front of Ling Xiao was a Yellow-Winged Mantis. It was more than 20 meters long, with a green body and yellow wings. The green and yellow color made it look very special, and its tail seemed to be equipped with something, which was much larger than the rest of its body.
Its green eyes emitted a cold and bloodthirsty light, and the two huge sickle claws it waved were even more threatening.
"The aura of the Dragon God Clan, but it's still a little weak. You guys leave quickly, or even if you're a descendant of the Dragons, I'll still kill you!" The Yellow-Winged Mantis stared at the Blue Flood Dragon and said. It seemed to not put Ling Xiao in its eyes at all.
Although the Yellow-Winged Mantis was of a higher rank than the Blue Flood Dragon, the Blue Flood Dragon's bloodline was more noble than its own. It was the bloodline of the Beast Clan's God Clan, and it did not want to offend the Dragons as a last resort.
It was already at the seventh rank, and its thinking had long been different from that of ordinary spirit beasts.
The Blue Flood Dragon kept hissing, but Ling Xiao felt that it wanted to retreat.
"Brother Mantis, don't be so unreasonable. Your Prince Qilin and I are brothers, and I'm here to find him. You can help me!" Ling Xiao said to the Yellow-Winged Mantis.
"Lowly human, how could you know my Prince? If you dare to say another word, I'll immediately make your blood splash on the spot!" How could the Yellow-Winged Mantis believe Ling Xiao's words?
In its eyes, Ling Xiao's strength was pitifully weak, so how could it be possible for him to know their Prince?
Ling Xiao stared at the Yellow-Winged Mantis that refused to retreat, and he could only shake his head and say to the Blue Flood Dragon, "Xiaolong, let's go back."
Looking at Ling Xiao and the Blue Flood Dragon disappearing into the distance, the Yellow-Winged Mantis once again disappeared into the jungle.
Ling Xiao did not leave. How could he give up at this time?
He descended and put away the Blue Flood Dragon, but there was a pair of gorgeous boots on his feet.
This pair of Wind Boots was taken from the Heavy Sword Sect's Wind Shadow, and now it came in handy.
Ling Xiao certainly did not think that he could escape the Yellow-Winged Mantis's pursuit by relying on this pair of Wind Boots and his wind attribute.
He also had the Concealing Breath Technique to rely on. He had long cultivated the Concealing Breath Technique to great success. As long as he hid his breath, he believed that no one or anything could catch him.
Unless he encountered a person who was proficient in spiritual force like him, it was possible.
Ling Xiao turned into a gust of wind and shuttled through the jungle. Wherever he went, there was only a slight sound of the wind, so it was really difficult for any spirit beast to detect his abnormality.
When approaching the Yellow-Winged Mantis's territory, Ling Xiao became more careful.
He did not dare to get too close to the big guy, so he circled far away, hoping to avoid the Yellow-Winged Mantis's detection.
However, he did not disturb the Yellow-Winged Mantis, but he found a spirit herb that tempted him.
Yellow Tongue Orchid, a sixth-grade high-tier spirit herb, was an extremely rare earth-attribute spirit herb.
It exuded a faint yellow halo, and its leaves were especially like a tongue. There were a few dew drops on the leaves, like saliva slowly dripping down.
Although Ling Xiao did not have the earth-attribute, there were people in the Eight Generals who did.
Even if he did not use it, he could still keep it and take it to the medicine cauldron to exchange for the spirit herb he wanted!
"Good, I absolutely can't let it go!" Ling Xiao revealed his greedy nature and said while licking his lips lightly.
Then, Ling Xiao used his spiritual force to scan the vicinity of a hundred meters and found no danger.
Ling Xiao rushed out without thinking, and his speed was simply extremely fast.
"Got it!" Ling Xiao picked up the Yellow Tongue Orchid in his hand, and in an instant, he was a hundred meters away.
Then, the Yellow-Winged Mantis's angry voice sounded, "Damn human, I'll kill you!"
The Yellow-Winged Mantis flapped its four wings, and the yellow aura cut the nearby trees, sending them flying.
"Damn, I've been discovered!" Ling Xiao did not care so much and instantly used all his strength to escape.
The Yellow-Winged Mantis seemed to swear to destroy the damn human. Its pair of strong and sharp front claws waved, and two huge yellow blade lights cut towards Ling Xiao.
If he was hit by this aura, Ling Xiao would definitely be blasted into slag.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao took an "S" -shaped escape route, so the aura did not hit him. Instead, the ground near him was blasted into a huge deep pit, and he was also pained by the soil and trees.
"Damn, I'll fight!" Ling Xiao stuffed two more speed enhancing pills into his mouth.
This time, his speed increased by more than seven or eight times.
Whoosh!
Only an afterimage was left in his original place, and he was already a thousand meters away.
This speed would even make an Empyrean level powerhouse speechless!
Who would have thought that a King Stage powerhouse could actually have such a terrifying speed?
The Yellow-Winged Mantis was worthy of being a seventh-rank spirit beast. No matter how fast Ling Xiao was, it could still catch up with him, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
It also did not understand how this damn human could run so fast.
Seeing that it was about to catch up with Ling Xiao, it stopped and looked ahead with fear in its eyes, no longer daring to take even half a step forward.
