Canaan Town! Into the Magical Beast Mountain Range!

Canaan Town! Into the Magical Beast Mountain Range!

Canaan Town!

As the name suggested, this place could be considered Jia Nan Academy's territory.

Of course, it was still too far from Jia Nan Academy, and its role was not particularly significant.

It certainly did not have the same level of control as Peace Town.

Moreover, it was close to the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, so quite a few people came here to make a living.

After all, it could barely be considered part of the Black-Corner Region's outskirts.

All sorts of killings were naturally unavoidable.

Still, Jia Nan Academy had some standing after all. Under normal circumstances, overly serious conflicts would not occur within Canaan Town.

Of course, that was mainly because this was a supply point.

Causing trouble in Peace Town was merely a provocation against Jia Nan Academy.

Furthermore, that place was at the border with the Black-Corner Region, so it was only natural that there would be a few lunatics.

But Canaan Town was different.

Although Jia Nan Academy had originally built it, more factions had settled here as it developed over time.

Causing trouble in Canaan Town did not merely mean offending Jia Nan Academy.

It also meant offending those factions making money here, as well as the mercenaries earning a living in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Those people might not care about Jia Nan Academy, because Jia Nan Academy generally would not specifically hunt down anyone who managed to escape.

Of course, most people had no way of escaping.

But the other factions were different.

Cutting off someone's source of income was like killing their parents.

That was the kind of grudge that would not end until one side died.

Those mercenaries and factions would not be as restrained as Jia Nan Academy.

Thus, over time, no one dared cause trouble in Canaan Town anymore.

Even if there were grudges, most people settled them outside Canaan Town.

Wang Chen surveyed Canaan Town. It was indeed extremely prosperous.

However, he did not enter.

After all, his purpose in coming out this time was Beast Flame.

In any case, his Storage Ring contained more than enough daily supplies, so there was no need to replenish them in Canaan Town.

Besides, the prices here were several times higher. Even if Wang Chen had money, he did not want to be taken for a fool.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chen followed a small path outside Canaan Town toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Once he entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Wang Chen felt as if he had returned home.

He did not need to worry about so much and could use all of his abilities freely.

After all, nobody knew anyone here, so he did not have to worry about being exposed.

Relying on his powerful soul perception, Wang Chen easily entered the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range safely.

He did not go to the area designated by Jia Nan Academy. Finding high-level magical beasts there was basically impossible.

Wang Chen did not want to casually collect low-level Beast Flames.

Only Beast Flames above Tier 3 were barely worth collecting.

Therefore, he could only choose the area that Jia Nan Academy had not cleared out.

Of course, he was not a reckless fool who did not value his life.

He headed to a place near that area.

There were stronger magical beasts there, yet it was not overly dangerous.

Those high-level magical beasts possessed relatively high intelligence.

Naturally, they would not venture too close to the area marked out by Jia Nan Academy.

With Wang Chen's strength, as long as he did not go too deep, he could practically slaughter everything in his way.

Boom!!!

A leopard-like magical beast was sent flying by a Fire Flood Dragon, crashing heavily into the ground and falling limp at once.

After killing the leopard magical beast, the Fire Flood Dragon swiftly lunged forward and devoured the magical beast's Beast Flame.

"What a pity. It actually didn't have a Magic Core!"

Wang Chen, dressed in black robes, let out a sigh.

The Magical Beast Mountain Range truly deserved to be called a paradise for magical beasts.

He had entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range less than twenty-five minutes ago, yet he had already encountered five attacks.

However, the magical beasts had all been low-level—four Tier 1s and one Tier 2. None of them could provide him with Beast Flame.

They had not even yielded a single Magic Core.

Still, it was not a complete loss. At the very least, the dead magical beasts had provided Wang Chen with some materials.

They had also allowed his Flame Spirit to grow somewhat.

As he ventured deeper into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Wang Chen grew even more vigilant.

Fortunately, he was not that unlucky. The magical beasts he encountered had not exceeded his expectations.

No high-level magical beasts from the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range had appeared.

Of course, in order to obtain the Beast Flame he wanted, Wang Chen gradually made his way toward the middle region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Under Wang Chen's careful vigilance, nothing went wrong as he traveled deeper.

"This is about enough. I can't go any deeper."

After reaching a suitable location, Wang Chen stopped.

While going deeper would give him a greater chance of encountering high-level magical beasts, it would also be more dangerous.

Wang Chen wanted high-level Beast Flame, but he would not gamble with his own life.

His current location was about right. It was basically the territory of Tier 3 and Tier 4 magical beasts.

He could obtain Beast Flame here without encountering too much danger.

With his current strength, even if he encountered a Fifth-Order Magical Beast, he could still escape successfully.

He could even kill a Fifth-Order Magical Beast if he was willing to pay a certain price.

In this area inhabited mostly by Tier 3 and Tier 4 magical beasts, he could practically sweep through it as long as he remained careful.

Therefore, he did not continue deeper. Instead, he began expanding his search outward.

The Magical Beast Mountain Range was vast, and Wang Chen was not worried about encountering other mercenaries trying to make a living.

After all, anyone who dared enter this region needed at least the strength of a Dou Ling.

And once one possessed Dou Ling-level strength, they generally would not work as mercenaries.

Joining any faction or establishing one of their own would make more money than being a mercenary.

Thus, there were basically few signs of human activity in this area.

That also made Wang Chen's search more convenient.

After all, with fewer people coming here, the number of magical beasts would be greater.

Using his powerful soul perception, Wang Chen searched carefully.

Although this was a mixed habitat for Tier 3 and Tier 4 magical beasts, there were still other low-level magical beasts here.

What Wang Chen needed to do was use his perception to find Tier 3 and Tier 4 magical beasts.

It was best to avoid fighting magical beasts that were too low-level.

After all, overly low-level magical beasts were not much help to his growth.

He did not want to waste too much time on this trip.

After all, Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy Selection Tournament was about to begin, and Wang Chen did not want to miss it.

That was a chance to get a treasure from Jia Nan Academy for free.

Furthermore, the Outer Academy truly did not offer much benefit to Wang Chen's growth. It was better to enter the Inner Academy sooner.

That was where Wang Chen could conveniently earn large amounts of money and various cultivation resources.

Although Medicine Elder had prepared some for Wang Chen as well, no one would ever complain about having too many resources.

For Wang Chen, only an abundance of resources could maximize his growth rate.
