Savage Beast

"Puff!"

A ferocious beast that ambushed Yi Yun was beheaded by Yi Yun with a backhand strike!

This ferocious beast was only the size of a monkey, with a pair of fleshy wings on its back, resembling a large bat.

"The Purple Fang Bat has a purple venom on its teeth. Once it enters the human body, it can melt the flesh and blood, turning it into a bloody sap that the Purple Fang Bat sucks dry, leaving only a withered human skin. The Purple Fang Bat is not very strong, but it is extremely fast and adept at ambushes. You were able to decapitate it with one strike, very good! Your swordsmanship has improved again in the past few hours."

Lin Xin Tong extremely knowledgeable about the ferocious beasts of Yunhuang. She was like an encyclopedia, knowing almost everything about the ferocious beasts and dangerous plants she encountered along the way.

Along the way, every time Yi Yun fought against a ferocious beast, Lin Xin Tong would offer guidance, praising some of Yi Yun's moves while also pointing out his shortcomings.

This benefited Yi Yun greatly.

As time passed, Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong ventured deeper and deeper into the canyon, having traveled hundreds of miles along it, a journey that took them a full day and night.

The two had fought dozens of battles, all of which were resolved single-handedly by Yi Yun!

Yi Yun was injured once along the way, but it was nothing serious and he recovered quickly.

If they got hungry, the two would cook on the spot: grilling meat, steaming rice, making soup... Although Lin Xin Tong was not a woman who had much of a taste for food, the food that Yi Yun made was indeed mouthwatering.

Despite being away from home for so long, Yi Yun wasn't worried. With the Brocade Dragon Guard protecting the Lian Clan, no one would dare to touch Jiang Xiaorou.

Sunrise and sunset, and it was already late at night the next day. The continuous high-intensity battles had allowed Yi Yun to improve extremely quickly.

After each battle, Yi Yun could consume the Bone Relic to enhance his cultivation!

Moreover, not only has his cultivation and foundation improved, but most importantly, Yi Yun's combat skills are also rapidly improving. This experience of traversing the Great Wilderness and fighting to the death is extremely valuable.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, Yi Yun heard a piercing rustling sound. Soon, the rustling sound became more and more intense and louder, like the sound of tens of thousands of kilograms of sand being constantly squeezed and ground. The sound waves pierced his eardrums.

Yi Yun's expression changed; he felt a chill!

It blows straight in like a cold wind, penetrating directly into one's bones.

"What is that...?"

Yi Yun became more alert and stared intently. In the dim light, he saw a scene that sent chills down his spine.

A group of black snakes swam over from a short distance away.

The thinnest of these snakes was as thick as a water bucket, many were as thick as a water vat, and some were so thick that two people couldn't even hug them.

A group of snakes surrounded Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong from all directions.

Each of these snakes is a ferocious beast. With so many snakes attacking together, Yi Yun would definitely be bitten to pieces.

However... Yi Yun also has Lin Xin Tong by his side.

Lin Xin Tong glanced at the numerous pythons around her and said calmly, "We've encountered a wild beast. These snakes are all being controlled by that beast!"

"A wild beast!?"

Yi Yun was taken aback. Wild beasts were a level higher than ferocious beasts. Although there were far fewer wild beasts than ferocious beasts, they were the true rulers of this Great Wilderness!

"It's a Frost Python!"

Among the chaotic pythons, Lin Xin Tong spotted the true snake king at a glance.

A cold python!?

Yi Yun certainly knew about the Frost Python, because what he had taken from Lian Chengyu was the Cold Python Savage Bones!

The Cold Python Savage Bones is poisonous, and refining it requires the intervention of Savage Heaven Master; otherwise, the cost will be enormous.

"It's an immature Frost Python, very good! Yi Yun, this is an opportunity. Among the wild beasts, the Frost Python belongs to the lowest level of strength. Its immature form is about the same strength as an ordinary Purple Blood Warrior among humans. You can try it out and see what a battle at the Purple Blood level is like! In this battle, you just need to hold on and not be defeated. This is a test for you!"

Yi Yun is still at the peak of Qi Refining. There is a significant gap between mortal blood and purple blood. However, Yi Yun has been practicing martial arts for so long, including his understanding of Subtle Movement and formlessness. In addition, he has perfected his Body Refinement and his pulse is like a dragon. It is not impossible for him to fight Purple Blood Realm warrior with lower strength head-on!

A hint of excitement flashed in Yi Yun's eyes.

The wild beasts... I'm finally going to fight them!

But there are so many snakes...

As Yi Yun was pondering this, Lin Xin Tong made her move. She drew her Cold Water Sword and casually slashed out.

This sword strike stirred up blue and white Sword Qi. This Sword Qi was icy cold and spread outwards like ripples on the surface of water. Wherever it passed, all the water vapor in the air condensed, and the ground was frozen with a layer of Ice Crystal!

At that moment, centered on Lin Xin Tong, it was as if a giant ice flower had bloomed, and the entire area within a hundred feet around it had turned into a world of ice and snow!

The group of pythons that were about to pounce were all frozen by the ice and snow, turning into ice sculptures!

Yi Yun was stunned by what he saw.

He was well aware of the ferocity of the beasts, but they were utterly powerless against Lin Xin Tong, who killed a whole group of them with a single sword strike.

Only the Frost Python King withstood the icy aura of Lin Xin Tong strike.

This is because the Frost Python King is the strongest, and also because the Frost Python itself is of the ice attribute, making it extremely resistant to cold.

However, upon suddenly encountering such a scene, the python was completely terrified!

It originally thought that Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong would be a delicious meal, as the human race had some strength. However, they were actually a great tonic for the wild beast. By devouring them, it could grow faster and become a mature being.

So the frost python drove its pythons to surround and attack the two men, hoping to wear them down. But it never expected that its python army would be wiped out before it could even launch an attack, leaving only itself alive!

The python possessed a certain level of intelligence; it immediately realized how terrifying the girl was. It turned to flee, but...

"Clap clap clap!"

Runes flashed, coalescing into a barrier of light that enveloped Han Mang, Yi Yun, and Lin Xin Tong.

"You can't escape!" Lin Xin Tong sheathed her Cold Water Sword. "If you can defeat this young man, I'll let you go. If you can't, you die!"

"Hmm? It understands human speech?" Yi Yun was somewhat surprised to see Lin Xin Tong actually talking to the cold python.

"I can't understand it, but some wild beasts can sense human mental fluctuations and understand some of the meaning."

Lin Xin Tong was right; this icy python had indeed identified its enemy.

It stared at Yi Yun, flicking its black tongue.

The Frost Python wasn't very big. Among this group of pythons, it was actually the smallest, with a waist only as thick as an adult's thigh and a length of no more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Yi Yun stared at the icy python, and he could see every single scale and its pattern clearly.

The fact that the Tao Clan was able to kill the Frost Python proves that the Frost Python is among the weakest of the ferocious beasts. This battle is perfect for them!

Lin Xin Tong watched Yi Yun expectantly from the sidelines. She was eager to see how Yi Yun's battle with the Cold Python would end. (To be continued~^~)
