Bang!
The massive body of the Seventh Grade Exotic Beast, the Stone-Devouring Pangolin, collapsed to the ground. This was the first Seventh Grade Exotic Beast Jiang Liu had encountered in this mountain range!
I was just preparing Grass Flower Python meat for lunch when this Stone-Devouring Pangolin suddenly appeared out of nowhere, ready to steal the python meat!
Jiang Liu was patient; he drew his Treasure Blade and exchanged three blows with it before being cleaved in two by Jiang Liu's single strike!
Hmm! This Seventh Grade Exotic Beast Meat is perfect for lunch, it'll make things more substantial.
Immediately, they peeled the skin, shaved the meat, and made skewers. With a flick of their fingers, flames rose, the skewers were grilled, spices were sprinkled on, and in no time, the aroma filled the air. This rustic style of grilling skewers can only be found here.
Hmm! The preparations weren't complete enough. Next time, I'll need to prepare an iron plate. Or perhaps I should find some better iron ore and have it forged by the Hundred Craft Hall?
Jiang Liu had just finished eating a skewer when a sharp shriek suddenly rang out.
To hell with death! Nothing is more important than cooking.
While Jiang Liu was eating, the shrieking sound grew increasingly urgent.
Finally, Jiang Liu finished eating, and his shrieking subsided.
Jiang Liu packed his things, mainly putting away the Seventh Grade beast core of the Stone-Devouring Pangolin, before getting up and heading towards the place where the shriek had come from.
When Jiang Liu arrived at the scene, he saw a man lying unconscious on the ground with his right leg severed. The man's severed leg was being chewed on by a sixth-grade Exotic Beast, the Gale Wolf!
Jiang Liu took a step forward and released his Seventh Grade Yuan Qi, unleashing a move called the Frost Nether Palm, which struck directly at the top of the Gale Wolf's head!
Instantly, the Gale Wolf's skull shattered, and it collapsed to the ground, utterly dead. Jiang Liu dug out its beast core and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out, "Stop! Don't you dare leave!"
Jiang Liu slowly turned around.
There stood a young woman, about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, holding a long sword and pointing it at Jiang Liu. She was quite beautiful, with delicate features, a slender waist, and long legs. However, at this moment, her eyes were wide open in anger, and her eyebrows were raised in anger, which detracted from her beauty.
This made Jiang Liu a little unhappy.
"What do you need?"
"Did you kill that Gale Wolf?"
"If I didn't kill him, then did you?"
"My senior brother must have injured it, that's why you came to take advantage!"
"When I got here, your senior brother was already lying there. I didn't save him; he's already dead. Alright, I don't have time to waste with you!"
Jiang Liu finished speaking and was about to leave when, unexpectedly, the woman thrust her sword at Jiang Liu, saying, "It must be because you stood by and watched my senior brother die that he lost his leg. You think you can just leave like this?"
Jiang Liu took a step back and said, "Get out of my way, or you'll face the consequences!"
The woman continued thrusting her sword while saying, "Even if it wasn't you, why didn't you come to save him sooner? Otherwise, he wouldn't have broken his leg. It must have been you. Otherwise, why are you so guilty?"
Jiang Liu was furious. He had only meant well in rescuing the man, and he was already being misunderstood, especially since his senior brother had broken his leg. But now he was being directly slandered, and he wouldn't tolerate that!
He immediately unleashed the Eight Steps of Trampling, taking two steps in quick succession. The woman's body was instantly frozen in place. Her sixth-rank strength was utterly useless in front of Jiang Liu!
With his right hand raised, he unleashed a move called the Frost Nether Palm, striking directly at the woman's crown! Instantly, she was frozen solid, and then, shaken by the overwhelming power of the Eight Steps of Trampling, she shattered into dust, which scattered with the wind.
Then, Jiang Liu used his left hand to wield an Ice Blade, striking the man's dantian directly. In no time, the man's dantian exploded, and he died bleeding from all seven orifices!
Jiang Liu killed this unreasonable and unruly woman without feeling a ripple of emotion. As for her senior brother, one can only say that he was fortunate to have such a good junior sister.
He looted the corpse and obtained a sixth-grade beast core and a Fifth Rank Beast Core! Hmm! Not a complete waste of time! Jiang Liu then left.
As for the man's body, Jiang Liu felt that a sky burial would be just fine. It would also be a way of giving back to the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Jiang Liu used his Wind Walk to leave.
About a moment after Jiang Liu left, a man who had been flying through the air looked down at the ground and was immediately enraged. He saw a tiger-like Exotic Beast devouring Tian'er's corpse!
He quickly released his vital energy, a powerful aura of a Minor Grandmaster, which enveloped the tiger-like Exotic Beast. Instantly, the tiger-like Exotic Beast exploded into minced meat!
He quickly landed and saw that his son, Ouyang Tian, had lost both legs and had a ruptured dantian. Looking at the injuries, he saw that his body was bitten by Exotic Beast, as were his legs. However, he didn't know what had injured his dantian.
"Who is it? Who exactly is it that dares to oppose me, Ouyang Han? Who dares to oppose my Sun Moon Sect?"
Ouyang Han secretly vowed, "If I find out, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
He then used his Ice Attribute Qi to freeze Ouyang Tian's corpse, then carried it away! As he left, he seemed to smell a familiar scent.
Jiang Liu had arrived at a forest full of redwood trees. He looked at the scene before him with a chill down his spine. Luckily, he had sneaked over here on a whim. If he had rushed over directly, he would probably have met the same fate as the Exotic Beast before him!
Previously, a Seventh Grade Exotic Beast ran straight into the redwood forest, and in no time at all, not even its bones were left! It was all eaten up by the Bloodthirsty Ants in the redwood forest.
Good heavens, at least hundreds of thousands of Bloodthirsty Ants swarmed in! Don't underestimate these Bloodthirsty Ants just because they're only Fourth Rank- grade; you couldn't kill them all even if you worked yourself to death.
It turns out that the redwood forest was covered with highly venomous Bloodthirsty Ants. Just thinking about it sent chills down Jiang Liu's spine!
Jiang Liu made the strategic choice to retreat!
He slowly took two steps back, then used his Windwalking Step to fly backward! With a blink and a step, he landed on a large tree in the distance, finally letting out a sigh of relief! This was the first time Jiang Ru had ever escaped in such a disheveled state since entering the world of martial arts.
He couldn't help but smile wryly, realizing he would never underestimate low-grade Exotic Beast again. It turns out that when their numbers reach a certain level, even high-grade beasts become less of a threat.
