Outside the cave, moonlight flowed like water.
The corpses of the two High-Level Lord Rank behemoths lay quietly on the ruined plaza, casting enormous shadows in the night. The Mighty Force Ape's body had gone stiff, its black fur gleaming with a cold light beneath the moon. The Seven-Colored Poison Python's body was twisted into a strange shape, its rainbow scales no longer dazzling as they had been by day, but dull and lifeless.
Lin Yun emerged from the cave, twelve throwing knives circling around him. The bloodstains on their blades had already been wiped clean by his Spiritual Force, and they gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
He first walked over to the Mighty Force Ape.
The behemoth had fought to its last breath to protect its family. Now it lay quietly in a pool of blood, its eyes half-closed and its pupils already unfocused. Its body, ravaged by snake venom, had turned an unnatural purplish black. Lin Yun stood beside its head and fell silent for a moment.
Beasts were humanity's mortal enemies. During the Great Nirvana Period, countless people had died at their jaws. Now humanity had retreated to the Base Cities, leaving the Wilderness Area as a paradise for beasts. Every beast that died meant a little more room for humanity to survive.
A throwing knife shot out, piercing the Mighty Force Ape's skull with perfect precision and ending its final agony.
Lin Yun raised a hand, and his Spiritual Force enveloped the Mighty Force Ape's entire body. He didn't need to cut it apart piece by piece like an ordinary Warrior—he had a Space Ring, one from the Coiling Dragon World. Its storage space wasn't particularly large, but it was more than enough for the materials from two High-Level Lords.
