While Ren Ming and Old Hei were on their way, in a secluded valley not far from the human battlefield base...
Although this was a battlefield between humans and devils, the battlefields of all sizes were not inhabited by humans and devils alone. Demonic beasts also existed here.
First of all, demonic beasts were not the same as the Demon Race.
The Demon Race consisted of members of other races who had cultivated to a certain realm and transformed into human form.
Once a demonic beast transformed into human form, it had two choices.

Because in a sense, once a demonic beast assumed human form, it had completely broken away from its original beastly body and acquired certain human traits and abilities.
The most obvious point was that demonic beasts cultivated very slowly. A demonic beast might cultivate for a thousand years and still not achieve what a genius could accomplish in ten.
But once a demonic beast became part of the Demon Race, although its cultivation speed was still somewhat slower than that of humans, it was a hundredfold or even a thousandfold faster than the thousand-year pace of demonic beasts.
