In a deathly quiet, barren valley, huge rocks lay scattered everywhere, many already weathered away.
This valley was a deeply secluded spot within the Black Demon Forest.
Bleached bones littered the valley's surroundings. Most belonged to wild animals or Demon Beasts, but human remains were mixed among them...
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
A series of barely audible footsteps sounded.
A slender boy who looked fifteen or sixteen wore a grave expression on his pale face, his features taut with tension.
This boy was Ye Han.
Zhang Sanlei, Li Zongqing, and Wang Fulai had brought him to this valley...
It was a deeply secluded place in the Black Demon Forest. They had passed through several stretches of woodland and encountered many formidable wild animals along the way. Fortunately, they had run into only one Demon Beast.
They had reached the valley where the Claw Beast lived in relative safety.
Now he entered the valley alone because the three had forced him to come here and use himself as bait to lure out that damned Claw Beast.
According to Zhang Sanlei, Demon Beasts all liked eating humans, and they liked eating cultivators even more.
Cultivation filled a cultivator's body with refined spell power, and their constitution differed from that of mortals.
To Demon Beasts, humans were not only delicious but could also advance their cultivation. Naturally, they were the finest supplements...
In fact, much the same held true for cultivators. Demon Beasts lived in places rich in heaven and earth spiritual energy and consumed vast quantities of natural treasures. The finest specimens were treasures from head to toe.
Their hides could be refined into defensive treasures or talisman paper. Their blood essence could be used for cultivation, drawing talismans, or even as a catalyst in pill refining. Their bones and flesh were valuable
