The Eye-Searing Miniature Ferocious Beast

"Alright!"

The High Priest answered respectfully.

Before long, the tribesman assigned to lead the way also arrived.

Yi Chen followed him toward where Luo Ge was stationed in the north. ✴

Squeak, squeak...

Behind him, seeing that Yi Chen was about to leave The Valley, the Miniature Ferocious Beast danced about in excitement.

Perhaps it was too excited. It actually climbed up along Yi Chen's right leg.

And sat atop Yi Chen's head.

But the next second, Yi Chen grabbed it and roughly tossed it to the ground.

Fine then!

The Miniature Ferocious Beast was helpless.

It could not hitch a ride, so it could only spread its little short legs and sprint all the way, struggling to keep up with Yi Chen's pace.

After running painstakingly for several minutes.

An idea suddenly flashed through its mind.

It sped up again, ran in front of the tribesman leading the way, and climbed all the way onto his head.

As the Tribal Chief's pet, the tribesman naturally did not dare refuse it a ride.

He even had to be extremely careful, craning his neck and not daring to shake his head too much, lest he toss the Miniature Ferocious Beast off.

Yi Chen could not be bothered with such insignificant trifles. As long as the little thing did not become bold enough to climb onto his head, that was fine.

Along the way, he opened the system and took a look.

Strongest Talent System

Host: Yi Chen

Territory: 120,000 square kilometers

Talent Bonus: 0.012 times

After more than ten days, the Four Routes Army had made fairly good progress.

Their controlled territory had already expanded to cover a hundred li in every direction around The Valley.

The territory under his control had also risen to 120,000 square kilometers.

As a result, his talent bonus had climbed to 1.2 percent.

In other words, his talent had now surpassed the Human Race's greatest talent by another 1.2 percent.

Though the effect was still not especially obvious during ordinary cultivation, it had already improved by more than ten thousand times compared to over ten days ago.

And this was only the beginning.

After crossing mountains and ridges all the way, they reached their destination half an hour later.

"Tribal Chief!"

In a forest, Luo Ge and the other tribesmen all lowered their heads somewhat shamefully, not daring to look at Yi Chen.

Yi Chen's gaze swept over them.

Only Luo Ge and a dozen or so tribesmen bore minor injuries. The rest were fine.

As long as there were no casualties, it was within his expectations.

Naturally, he had no dissatisfaction.

On Flame Mountain, there were not only Ferocious Beasts that Luo Ge and the others could not defeat—there were even Ferocious Beasts that he himself could not defeat. It was perfectly normal for them to lose, and he had anticipated it long ago.

"It's fine. Tell me about this Ferocious Beast."

Yi Chen spoke.

Seeing that Yi Chen did not blame them, Luo Ge felt slightly relieved and hurriedly began his introduction.

The Ferocious Beast was a giant wolf resembling a black wolf.

It was enormous, over ten meters long and five or six meters tall.

Not only was it nimble and agile, it could also spew poisonous Black Mist from its mouth.

Furthermore, it only moved about on the open grasslands. No matter how Luo Ge and the others exhausted every means at their disposal, they could do nothing to it.

"I just checked the map. It's a level 14 Poison Wolf. I wonder if Yi Chen's current strength is enough to defeat it."

"That's hard to say. When Yi Chen was at the Spirit Release Realm First Level, he could defeat a level 10 Green Leopard. Now that he's at the Spirit Release Realm Sixth Level and has the Cloud Stepping Art, which lets his speed exceed the speed of sound, his strength has risen enormously."

"But then again, although this level 14 Poison Wolf isn't particularly large, its strength is far beyond anything a level 10 Green Leopard can compare to."

"More importantly, this Poison Wolf is very cunning. It only operates on the grasslands and has a wide-range poisonous mist attack. Killing it is easier said than done."

"I think Yi Chen has a high chance of killing this Poison Wolf. Remember, his speed exceeds the speed of sound, and he has ranged attack methods."

"With his speed advantage and Thorn Fruit, he can keep circling around it and shooting. He should be able to wear it to death eventually."

"A level 14 Poison Wolf already has considerable intelligence. How could it possibly be stupid enough to let Yi Chen keep whittling it down?"

The viewers in the Live Stream Room discussed animatedly, debating whether Yi Chen could kill this level 14 Poison Wolf.

The ratio was roughly six to four.

That was to say, sixty percent believed that with Yi Chen's current strength, killing this Poison Wolf would be somewhat difficult.

The other forty percent believed that Yi Chen would most likely be able to slowly wear the Poison Wolf to death with his speed and ranged attack methods.

"You wait here. I'll go take a look first."

In the Small Woods, Yi Chen did not hesitate for long.

Whether he could handle it or not, he would know after trying.

In any case, according to Luo Ge's description, although the Poison Wolf was agile, it was not faster than Luo Ge and the others.

Even Luo Ge and the others could remain invincible with the weakened version of the Cloud Stepping Art. Naturally, he would have even less of a problem.

Following the direction Luo Ge indicated, he left the Small Woods.

A vast grassland appeared before him.

After going several hundred meters deeper, a giant wolf with fur as black as ink came into view.

Squeak, squeak...

Yi Chen was about to approach.

At his feet, the Miniature Ferocious Beast began dancing about.

Judging by its gestures, it seemed to want to serve as the vanguard and go deal with the Poison Wolf.

Yi Chen could not be bothered with it. Holding several Thorn Fruit in his hand, he walked straight toward the giant wolf.

Though the Miniature Ferocious Beast's strength was improving rapidly, it was currently only equivalent to a level 4 Ferocious Beast.

Running over there would be nothing but courting death.

Squeak, squeak...

Ignored, the Miniature Ferocious Beast immediately felt depressed.

It hummed and grumbled as it spread its little short legs, overtook Yi Chen, and charged toward the Poison Wolf at full speed.

Seeing this, Yi Chen simply stopped.

Safety came first. In any case, this little thing possessed a bizarre immortal body.

Since it wanted to court death, it would be good to let it take the lead and test the Poison Wolf's strength.

Keeping the little thing by his side seemed to have some value, even at this stage.

Squeak, squeak...

It rushed in front of the Poison Wolf.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast began baring its teeth and snarling at it.

The Poison Wolf turned its head, glanced at the Miniature Ferocious Beast, which was only a little over ten centimeters tall and not even as large as its eye, then turned away again.

It directly ignored its existence.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast had repeatedly suffered abuse and neglect from Yi Chen, yet still shamelessly clung to him. Its temper, however, seemed anything but small.

Seeing the Poison Wolf ignore it.

It immediately flew into a towering rage, fury gleaming in its mung-bean-sized eyes.

Its golden fur actually stood up strand by strand.

The next second, the fur on its front shot toward the Poison Wolf like Golden Hair Needles.

In an instant, the Miniature Ferocious Beast's upper body became completely bare.

Even its tiny little thing, no bigger than a match head, was exposed.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Golden Hair Needles were not weak.

Unfortunately, the Poison Wolf's hide possessed even greater defense.

After the dense Golden Hair Needles struck the Poison Wolf, they merely produced a string of metallic collisions before all falling to the ground.

"Oh my god, that's eye-searing!"

"Well, whether this Miniature Ferocious Beast is male or female is no longer up for debate."

"This is the most shameless Ferocious Beast I've ever seen, bar none."

"Still, its attack power is actually quite strong. According to the Scanner, there are over ten thousand of those hairs. They're as hard as steel needles and travel at over three hundred meters per second, enough to easily pierce an ordinary beast's body."

"It's just that this attack method is far too unconventional. Some Ferocious Beasts do shoot out their fur as an attack, but none of them strip themselves completely bare like this fellow."

The viewers in the Live Stream Room all cried out that it was eye-searing.
