Chapter 133: First Encounter with a Demon Beast (Fourth Update)
The Luotian Continent's Beast Forest has existed since ancient times, but it wasn't called that back then. As for what it was actually called, nobody remembers anymore and there are no written records either. Plus, this vast forest is the territory of magical beasts, so over time, it came to be known as the Beast Forest.
It is said that in ancient times, the monsters living in this forest were not the current monsters, but a gathering place for deep-sea demons. They came from the terrifying deep sea and had a terrifying appearance. Their strength also made other creatures feel terrified and desperate.
After millions of years of rule by the abyssal demons, the true gods that everyone knows today appeared. At that time, the gods had great power and were said to have come from outside the sky, descending upon this land. After tens of thousands of years of war, they finally defeated the abyssal demons and saved the world.
Of course, these are all recorded in the book, but whether they are true or not is unknown. However, in Yichi's view, he doesn't think that gods are so great.
"It's probably just a struggle between two powerful forces, and one side lost. Since ancient times, the winner is king and the loser is a bandit. Who knows who was wrong?" Yi Chi said casually.
At this time, he was moving forward one step at a time, and it had been more than half a day since Bai Ye left. The sky was also slowly darkening, and Yi Chi was looking for a place to stay. If not for the Dou Huang behind him, he could have stayed in the Divine Kingdom, but now it was impossible, so he could only find a relatively safe place to stay. Having a tree hole or something would be best.
Unfortunately, in this short period of time, Yi Chi saw many trees, but none of them were suitable for nesting, and there were no caves or anything like that.
With one kick, he shattered a large tree that had fallen to the ground in front of him. Yi Chi sighed and said, "Looks like we'll have to live in the trees today."
Although there was a Dou Huang following behind to protect him, Yi Chui didn't want to put his life in someone else's hands. This was the Demon Beast Forest, not some Amazon jungle; he wasn't qualified to ignore its dangers yet.
Then, Yi Chi found a big tree nearby that was just right, about two or three people hugging it.
With a leap, his body jumped onto a branch about 20 meters high. The thick and sturdy branch was very solid, even if Yi Chi stood on it and jumped a few times, there was no shaking at all.
"Not bad, I'll stay here tonight." Yi Chi said with a smile.
This is going out, who can afford to be picky about this and that, it's good to have a place to lie down, at this height, ordinary monsters will definitely not hurt the easy pool above, and those monsters that come up, the easy pool will also wake up before them.
Furthermore, Yi Chi doesn't sleep at night. He has always used cultivation to replace sleep, not only is it effective, but it also recovers one's energy better than sleeping.
Above the void, Dou Huang who had been following Yi Chi also saw all of this and couldn't help but admire Yi Chi. In such an environment, he actually dared to use cultivation in place of sleep. It wasn't that Yi Chi was particularly diligent or hardworking, anyone who wanted to achieve good results on the path of cultivation would do the same.
The key is that this is the Monster Forest, wanting to wake up clearly during cultivation is much harder than waking up from sleep, it's possible that a monster has reached your head and you still haven't reacted yet. He thinks that Yi Chi's courage is really not small.
It was also something he didn't know, that Yi Chi thought it would be easier to wake up from cultivation than to sleep and wake up, and besides, wasn't there still his free bodyguard, so why not use him.
......
At night, the Beast Forest is especially terrifying. Sometimes it's so quiet that it's deadly, and sometimes it's noisy to the point of being frightening.
At this time, Yi Chi was sitting cross-legged on the branch, quietly cultivating. Behind him, hundreds of meters away, stood a Dou Huang looking out into the distance from atop a tree. He didn't dare sleep now, if something happened to Yi Chi, he would be in big trouble. Now, he had to protect him well.
"Ah-woo!"
The Dou Huang furrowed his brow, he had a bad feeling, this voice didn't seem like the normal roar of a magical beast! Could it be...
"This is bad, this is the howl of a Lycan calling its companions, something's going to happen!" The Dou Huang was greatly shocked, and upon careful listening, he recognized that it was indeed the howl of a Lycan.
If this Lycan were alone, it wouldn't be a fearsome demon beast. The key is that they are despicable and never act alone. As soon as something big happens, they summon a large group of companions to surround and kill their prey. Each Lycan is a third-level demon beast, and a large group can number in the hundreds, or even thousands.
This time, Dou Huang couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the shouting voice. He wanted to see who these fierce wolves were after. If they were really after Yi Chi, then he would have to take care of them ahead of time. If they met up with Yi Chi, wouldn't Yi Chi be torn to shreds?!
In his opinion, a small three-star Dou Shi coming to the Monster Forest was simply courting death. Unfortunately, this courting-death object happened to be the person he needed to protect, so he had no choice but to go take a look!
......
Just as the Dou Huang was about to leave, Yi Chi woke up from his cultivation.
So many wolf howls, if he doesn't wake up now, he'll become deaf.
Yi Chi looked in the direction of the howling sound and muttered to himself, "This seems to be the cry of some kind of wolf-like magical beast! Not a single magical beast was encountered during the day, but as soon as night falls, I run into a whole pack. Hehe, this is quite interesting."
If Yi Chi's words were heard by Dou Huang, he would probably admire him again. Someone actually thinks it's interesting to encounter a group of magical beasts that are stronger than himself! Isn't this just asking for death?
Yi Chi didn't know what others thought of him, he was clear about his own strength, as long as he wasn't up against those high-level magic beasts, otherwise some mid-level magic beasts couldn't even take him down, if he wanted to run, there was still time.
He stood up, and Yi Chi moved his hands and feet, saying softly: "Okay, then let's go take a look. I've never seen what a demon beast looks like before!"
After finishing speaking, Yi Chi lightly jumped out of ten or so zhang, directly jumping onto another big tree. With a push of his foot, he again jumped onto another big tree. In just a few light jumps, Yi Chi returned to where he was originally standing and headed in the direction of the calling voice.
At this time, Dou Huang had already arrived there.
At this time, he was standing on a branch of a big tree, staring at the battle scene in front of him with wide eyes.
This place was not originally a vacant lot, and there were also some tall trees. Unfortunately, these trees grew in the wrong place and now they are unlucky, being beaten into small pieces by this group of fierce wolves and a violent madman.
At this time, a pack of powerful wolves emerged from the forest behind the empty land. These wolves looked no different from ordinary wolves, except that they were slightly larger, with each one as tall as an elephant. They had thick red fur all over their bodies and a pair of huge blood-red eyes staring fixedly at their enemies in front of them.
Sharp claws were constantly trampling the wild grass on the ground.
In front of this large pack of wolves, however, was a young man with his upper body exposed. At this moment, he was staring at the pack of wolves with eyes full of spirit, and his mouth kept making strange sounds, as if they were some kind of eerie melody.
The peacock standing on the branch did not show its own shape, but stood on the tree and looked up.
In his eyes, both sides were nothing but local hooligans, but a tattoo on the young man's chest caught his attention.
He furrowed his brow, and the Dou Huang thought to himself: "Isn't this the emblem of the War Clan? To be able to have it tattooed on one's chest, they must also be a core member of the War Clan! But why hasn't anyone come to protect them?"
For the War Family, this Dou Huang was also very familiar with one of the top ten super families in the Empire, with a big reputation and strong strength. The mark of their family members was this tribal emblem, and the place where they were tattooed was also different. Like this being tattooed on his chest, that was the core member of the War Family. However, what made him strange was this point - how could the core member of the War Family come to the Magic Beast Forest without a special person to protect him?
"Could it be that you also sneaked out?" Dou Huang guessed.
Nor can he be stopped from thinking that way, who let their young master just sneak out once before? Now seeing this situation, he naturally thought of that place.
After glancing at the clan members of the war family, this Dou Huang did not intend to step forward and help. Although this young man only had a one-star Dou Ling's strength, facing such a large group of fierce wolves was absolutely impossible to win against.
"We're not even close, what's the point of helping him!" The emperor snorted in disdain.
He naturally stood on the branch and prepared to watch the show.
At this moment, Yi Chi arrived in a hurry. As soon as he got here, his first glance fell on the large group of giant wolves, and his second glance was on the young man surrounded by these giant wolves. Finally, he felt a familiar gaze, which was the gaze of Dou Huang who had been following him.
"Haha, quite interesting!" Yi Chi joked and then jumped onto the empty ground.
