Ambush

"Snow Demon, stop for a moment." When they were still dozens of miles away from the location of the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, Lin Ming called out to Snow Demon Sky Ape. "Snow Demon" was the name that Snow Demon Sky Ape had given Lin Ming and the others to call him.

"Thump~" The Snow Demon Sky Ape's massive body leaped to the ground, causing the ground to vibrate and make a sound.

"What's wrong?" After hearing Lin Ming's call to stop, the Snow Demon Sky Ape stopped and looked at the two people who had landed in front of it, asking.

"Snow Demon, that's all for today. Let's rest here for the night and get our energy back before officially starting work tomorrow," Lin Ming replied to Snow Demon Sky Ape's question.

Lin Ming had been flying for a long time today, and his Dou Qi was quite depleted. The Snow Demon Sky Ape had also been traveling for several hours and was also expending its strength. Therefore, going to cause trouble for the Iron Blood Violent Bear King now would be very disadvantageous for Lin Ming and his companions.

At this stage, the only skill Lin Ming can effectively damage Tier 5 Magical Beast is the Earth Tier Dou Technique, Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber.

Under the blazing sun, the power of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber is significantly enhanced. Therefore, from any perspective, launching an attack on the Iron Blood Violent Bear King tomorrow is the best option.

"Alright! Let's rest for the night and launch another attack on the Iron Blood Violent Bear King tomorrow." Puffs of smoke billowed from the Snow Demon Sky Ape 'Snow Demon Sky Ape mouth as it spoke in human language. After speaking, the Snow Demon Sky Ape sat down on the spot.

"Zi Yan, let's find a place to rest nearby!" Lin Ming said to Zi Yan beside him after seeing the Snow Demon Sky Ape sit down.

With the Snow Demon Sky Ape present, no foolish Magical Beasts would dare to attack Lin Ming and his companions.

Of course, we still need to be vigilant. Who knows if the Snow Demon Sky Ape might harbor resentment towards Lin Ming his group for taking its Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, and suddenly change its mind and launch an attack? So, we still need to be cautious.

They chose a large tree as their resting place, and Lin Ming and Zi Yan discussed taking turns keeping watch at night.

The night passed quietly as Lin Ming and his companions rested.

The sun rises, illuminating the earth. In the forest, two people and one animal gather their strength amidst the Star Points sunlight.

A flash of cold light, and a small Jade Bottle appeared in Lin Ming's hand. After looking at the Jade Bottle, Lin Ming tossed it to the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

"There's still a little bit of Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk left in here. Have it for your breakfast!" Lin Ming said after tossing the Jade Bottle to the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

Of course, the Jade Bottle contained Diluted Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk. Lin Ming wasn't foolish enough to give the Pure Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk to the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

Upon catching the Jade Bottle and hearing that it contained Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, the Snow Demon Sky Ape grinned, its expression one of extreme joy.

The small Jade Bottle was barely bigger than a toothpick to the Snow Demon Sky Ape. So the Snow Demon Sky Ape the entire Jade Bottle into its mouth, and with a snap, it revealed an expression of ecstasy.

Ignoring the Snow Demon Sky Ape, Lin Ming took out some prepared food from his Storage Ring and began to eat with Zi Yan.

With a "thump," the Snow Demon Sky Ape took a step, causing the ground to tremble.

"Let's set off too!" Zi Yan said, watching the Snow Demon Sky Ape depart.

Nodding, the Purple Crystal Wings extended behind Lin Ming. With a flap of the Crystal Wings, Lin Ming's body was lifted off the ground and flew into the sky.

Half an hour later, a sheer, barrier-like mountain wall appeared before Lin Ming's eyes.

Upon seeing the mountain wall, Lin Ming and Zi Yan exchanged a glance, then flapped their wings and headed towards the forest below.

After Lin Ming and Zi Yan landed in the forest, the enormous Snow Demon Sky Ape also arrived.

"Proceed according to plan," Lin Ming said to the Snow Demon Sky Ape after they reunited.

A tremendous roar erupted from the Snow Demon Sky Ape's Snow Demon Sky Ape, and its massive body charged forward at top speed.

"Roar~" A moment later, an even louder roar came from ahead.

Upon hearing the roar, Lin Ming knew that the Iron Blood Violent Bear King had been enraged and was defending its territory.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape's roar just now was full of provocation. This was practically its own territory; how could the Iron Blood Violent Bear King tolerate such a provocation from another Tier 5 Magical Beast?

"Roar~" Two different roars came from ahead. Then, the sound of two huge creatures fighting came out.

"Let's move too!" Lin Ming said to Zi Yan, then released his immense Soul Power, covering himself and Zi Yan, and headed towards the battleground ahead.

The Soul Power of Magical Beasts is much weaker than that of humans, while Lin Ming's Soul Power is much stronger than that of most Dou Emperor. Therefore, under the cover of Lin Ming's powerful Soul Power, Lin Ming and Zi Yan can get extremely close to the Iron Blood Violent Bear King without being detected by it.

The Iron Blood Violent Bear King's strength is comparable to a low-level Dou Emperor. Even with the addition of the Snow Demon Sky Ape, Lin Ming and his group might not be able to defeat the Iron Blood Violent Bear King in a head-on battle.

So, after some discussion, it was decided that the Snow Demon Sky Ape would first provoke the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, while Lin Ming and Zi Yan would lie in wait to find a suitable opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Iron Blood Violent Bear King. This way, Lin Ming and his companions would have a much higher chance of winning.

Upon arriving near the battlefield, Lin Ming witnessed the two colossal creatures locked in a brutal, hand-to-hand combat. He remarked that this was indeed a battle between Magical Beasts; it wasn't flashy at all, just a genuine brawl.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape, with its over three-zhang-long frame, appeared quite small compared to the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, which was nearly five zhang tall.

Furthermore, because the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was significantly stronger than the Snow Demon Sky Ape, the Snow Demon Sky Ape already had many wounds after only a short time of fighting, and its originally snow-white fur was now largely stained red. In contrast, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King had almost no injuries.

"Zi Yan, seize the opportunity to strike. The Snow Demon can't hold out for long on its own," Lin Ming transmitted to Zi Yan using his Soul Power.

Zi Yan nodded in response to Lin Ming's telepathic message.

"Boom!"

The Snow Demon Sky Ape was picked up by the Iron Blood Violent Bear King and slammed heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

Lin Ming, who was nearby, felt the ground tremble as the Snow Demon Sky Ape was slammed to the ground.

"Roar~"

The Iron Blood Violent Bear King stomped on the Snow Demon Sky Ape, letting out a cathartic roar.

"Zi Yan, this is a good opportunity," Lin Ming transmitted his Soul Power to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan knew that the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was relaxing at this moment, so she didn't delay. She transformed into a beam of purple light, and the space itself seemed to shatter during the impact.

"Bang!"

A loud crash was heard. Faced with Zi Yan's sudden attack, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was sent flying by Zi Yan attack and crashed into the vertical mountain wall behind it.

"Are you alright?" Lin Ming asked the Snow Demon Sky Ape as he stepped forward.

After the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's suppression was lifted, the Snow Demon Sky Ape got up from the ground and roared at the mountain wall, as if venting its frustration at being beaten by the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.

Hearing the Snow Demon Sky Ape 'Snow Demon Sky Ape powerful roar, Lin Ming instantly stopped worrying about it.

As the dust settled, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's figure appeared before Lin Ming and his companion, along with the beast.

At this moment, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was leaning against the cracked mountain wall, with a hole the size of a bowl in its abdomen, from which blood gushed out like water.

Judging from the current miserable state of the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, one can tell just how powerful Zi Yan's attack was.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape and the Iron Blood Violent Bear King fought each other, but the Snow Demon Ape barely managed to inflict any damage on the Iron Blood Violent Bear King. However, Zi Yan caused a hole to appear in the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's abdomen.

Of course, Zi Yan's ability to injure the Iron Blood Violent Bear King with a single blow was inseparable from the fact that the Iron Blood Violent Bear King was careless, thus giving Zi Yan an opportunity.

"Snow Demon Sky Ape, you actually colluded with humans! You are a disgrace to the Magical Beast World!" The Iron Blood Violent Bear King opened its mouth and spoke in human language.

"Iron Blood Violent Bear King, we're not colluding. Hand over the Azure Blood Divine Marrow, and we'll leave now." At this moment, Lin Ming certainly wouldn't give the Iron Blood Violent Bear King a chance to provoke him, so he spoke first.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape was initially slightly shaken by the Iron Blood Violent Bear King's condemnation, but upon hearing about the Snow Demon Sky Ape Azure Blood Divine Marrow, it instantly returned to its fighting stance.

"Hmph~. You're not qualified to want the Azure Blood Divine Marrow." The Iron Blood Violent Bear King snorted and stood up, mocking Lin Ming and the others.

The Azure Blood Divine Marrow is crucial to breaking through the barrier of the Fifth Order bloodline and successfully advancing to the Tier 6 Magical Beast. So, let alone the fact that it's just Zi Yan and the Snow Demon Sky Ape now, Lin Ming is completely ignored in the eyes of the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.

After all, the aura emanating from Lin Ming was equivalent to that of Tier 4 Magical Beast, and a low-tier one at that. To the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, such a low-tier Tier 4 Magical Beast was like Tier 4 Magical Beast; even if he stood there and let it attack him, he probably wouldn't be able to break through his defenses.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, the main threat came from Zi Yan. The Snow Demon Sky Ape was not considered a significant threat to the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.

Even with these people joining forces, the Iron Blood Violent Bear wasn't particularly afraid. As for Lin Ming's request to hand over the Azure Blood Divine Marrow, that was completely impossible for the Iron Blood Violent Bear King.

The Azure Blood Divine Marrow is crucial to whether he can enter the ranks of Tier 6 Magical Beast. For the Iron Blood Violent Bear King, let alone the fact that he is currently facing a group of people weaker than himself, he still holds the advantage.

Even if they were replaced by a Tier 6 Magical Beast, the Iron Blood Violent Bear King would not give up the Azure Blood Divine Marrow until the very last moment of despair.

"Roar~!"

The Iron Blood Violent Bear King stood up and roared fiercely at Lin Ming and his companions. Its massive body charged forward, attacking Lin Ming.
