The leopard was merely an ordinary beast and had not crossed the boundary between beast and monster beast. As such, its adaptability and resilience to the environment were not particularly strong. At this time every year, it even slowed down its hunting to avoid dying of heatstroke in the scorching heat.

"Splash, splash, splash~~~"

Looking out beneath the blazing sun, even the stream seemed to be suffering beneath the scorching dry season. Its water level kept dropping, exposing pebbles and mud that had once been covered by water in many places. The leopard stood by the stream, rapidly curling its tongue to lap up what little water remained. Every drop seemed incomparably precious.

Perhaps it should move farther east, where the vegetation was denser and resources more abundant.

Suddenly, the leopard perked up alertly. Its ears caught some movement.

It grew louder and closer.

"Pssh!"

Just as the leopard was about to retreat from the stream, a clump of tall reeds at the edge of the forest shook violently. Then, an enormous black shadow abruptly landed not far in front of it.

With the shadow looming overhead, the leopard was badly frightened. Its fur stood on end, its eyes widened, and the enormous figure was reflected in its pupils. Its heart seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and even its breathing became rapid.

Already irritable from the heat, it became even more distressed from the fright.

That black shadow was naturally Xu Yang, who had come charging over at high speed! His sense of smell now covered an incredibly vast range; no scent within dozens of miles could escape his tracking. A scent as deeply ingrained in his memory as the leopard's was firmly etched in the depths of his mind!

Before Xu Yang, who was nearly seven meters long and stood 2.4 meters at the shoulder, the leopard was like a tiny toy, trembling beneath his terrifying Ninth Stage aura.

What a bore.

Xu Yang, who had been brimming with excitement, suddenly found it dull when he saw the leopard trembling nonstop, nearly incontinent from fear.

The grudge had only been from ten days ago. Why was there no pleasure in revenge?

"Roar—"

This low growl might have seemed casual to Xu Yang, but to the leopard, it was like Mount Tai bearing down on it. Its body shook violently, and it nearly collapsed to the ground.

Swish!

A cold glint flashed, and Xu Yang gave the leopard a quick death.

Resource +1

At the end of the day, the leopard was only a low-intelligence beast. Moreover, Xu Yang's strength now far exceeded what it had been before. The leopard could neither provide him with combat value nor emotional value.

It was only natural that revenge brought no satisfaction.

Newborn Valley was only a few steps away, so Xu Yang stopped by to take a look. Due to the relentless heat of the past several days, the water level in the valley's pool had fallen sharply. It had originally been at least seven or eight meters deep, but now less than four meters remained, and the bottom was already visible. He dove in headfirst. The bottom of the pool was somewhat murky, and aside from a few small fish and shrimp, he found no hidden underwater cave like those that often appeared in novels...

After a long while, Xu Yang emerged from the pool feeling refreshed after a comfortable bath. Though he had not found any divine weapon or treasure, taking a cold bath in such scorching weather was exceptionally pleasant.

Hm? Why do I feel a little uneasy?

Lying by the pool to cool off, Xu Yang suddenly frowned. His heart was beating a little faster than before. Though it was not much faster, it still indicated something unusual. He was now an Apprentice Ninth Stage, a quasi-Planet Level existence. He had complete control over his muscles and blood energy. During a near-motionless moment of rest like this, there was no way his heartbeat should accelerate or his blood energy should stir.

In his previous life, Xu Yang would not have thought much of something like this. But this life was different. This was a world where cultivation existed. Perhaps there really was such a thing as spiritual intuition or inspiration. What if, just as those novels described, this was a warning from the dark...

At that thought, Xu Yang no longer bothered cooling off. Better to believe it than not. He should leave first.

With a whoosh, he turned into a gust of wind and left Newborn Valley.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Mian Gu Black Forest, not far from the Vajra Ant Clan's territory, less than a hundred miles from Newborn Valley.

In the sky and within the dense forest, the sounds of air being torn apart rang out continuously. Two burly figures descended directly, like two walls of dark rock. They dropped straight down and slammed fiercely into the earth, sending dead branches and fallen leaves swirling into the air, yet their bodies remained completely motionless.

Iron Fist and Gale!

Both of them stood over ten meters tall. Even on all fours, they were no shorter than some ancient trees.

Swish! Swish! Swish...

Streams of black shadows leaped through the forest at astonishing speed. Like dark clouds pressing down upon a city, they descended in overwhelming numbers behind the two of them. Amid crackling and thudding impacts, the earth shook, and a dense aura of killing intent spread through the air.

Iron Fist turned to look at the clansmen behind him. Seeing the fighting spirit in their eyes, he nodded in satisfaction. Though he and Gale had been deeply worried while discussing matters earlier, morale was extremely important when battle was imminent. Naturally, he could not dampen his subordinates' spirits.

"Warriors, do you have confidence?!!"

Since they had already arrived, Iron Fist no longer cared about being exposed. He simply roared aloud!

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

All the Azure-Eyed Baboon elites raised their weapons high and responded fervently. To them, fighting for their clan was the highest honor!

Accompanied by their frenzied roars, towering battle intent seemed to rise across this small stretch of land.

Light cyan Origin Power surged from Iron Fist and Gale. The once-bright world gradually turned dark and oppressive, while a thick scent of blood seemed to spread through the air.

The beasts and monster beasts in the distance watched these Azure-Eyed Baboons emitting terrifying fighting spirit with fear in their eyes. At this moment, the latter truly displayed the might of a major Monster Race clan. Led by two Planet Level warriors, the aura emitted by fifty elites was like that of five hundred!

In the past, the Azure-Eyed Baboons had claimed such a vast territory under the leadership of their king. Who knew how many monster beast clans had been shattered and completely wiped out in frenzied battles against the Azure-Eyed Baboon Clan.

And now, faced with the provocation of another major clan, the Vajra Ant Clan, the Azure-Eyed Baboons bared their fangs once again. This time, who would prove stronger?

"Crack, crack, crack~~~"

"Crack, crack, crack~~~"

Like a declaration before battle, the dense scraping of King Kong Ants rubbing their forelegs came from the distant forest...

This was a provocation!

Visible to the naked eye, Iron Fist's face flushed red, his emerald-green eyes rapidly bloodshot, his savage fangs bared as he roared, "Boys, charge with me!!"

"Roar! Roar!"

"Charge, charge, charge!!"

Battles between demon beasts were this straightforward.

Iron Fist took the lead, while Gale at his side refused to fall behind. The elites following them had bloodshot eyes as well, brandishing weapons forged from 'Blade Wood' as they charged forward.

Trees snapped, wild grass whipped through the air, as if an army of thousands was sweeping across the land!
