C43 Lion King with Green Mane

"This is Wan Dong, and this is Li Yu. The two of them will be in charge of bringing you to the Great Desolate Mountain Range to search for the Swordtooth Leopard, and on this journey, they will not make any moves, and you also need to ensure their safety."

The old man walked in front of Jing Yunxiao and the other four, and introduced the two people behind him. The young woman dressed as a man was called Wan Dong, which was sounded a fake name obviously, but the pockmarked face man was called Li Yu.

At first glance, they looked no different from the ordinary, but Jing Yunxiao had a feeling that these two were not simple, at least their cultivations were definitely not low.

"Don't worry, we will definitely succeed within three days."

Zuo Qingfeng was in high spirits.

The few of them chatted for a bit longer before they headed towards the Great Desolate Mountain Range.

The Great Desolate Mountain Range was extremely large, at least dozen times bigger than the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.

This also led to the fact that although many martial artists had entered here, there were still numerous demon beasts. There were all kinds of spirit medicines, all sorts of chances, and even the legacies left behind by all sorts of martial arts supreme experts.

He had heard that there were quite a few people who were initially ordinary in The Way of Martial Arts. It was precisely because in this Great Desolate Mountain Range that these lucky guys had unintentionally obtained certain inheritances that enabled them to make a name for themselves.

Of course, there were more opportunities, and even more inheritances that came from the inner circle. As for the core zone of the Great Desolate Mountain Range, it went without saying.

This was also the reason why the Four Major Sects of the Hundred Warring State had to occupy the inner circle and core zone.

Jing Yunxiao had also thought about whether or not he should think of a way to make Jing Zhu's physique into a martial physique that was extremely suitable for cultivation. After all, Jing Yunxiao had a lot of methods and that technique was also mastered of course, he required some heavenly resources to assist, though.

But those heavenly resources were simply too precious, they should at least be in the core zone of Great Desolate Mountain Range, thus Jing Yunxiao had to temporarily suppress this thought.

Once one entered the Great Desolate Mountain Range, the feeling of oppression of this place and the liveliness of the Great Desolate Ancient City formed a very clear contrast.

This place was filled with gloominess and strange feelings, as well as an atmosphere that caused one's hair to stand on end.

This atmosphere caused Zuo Qingfeng and the others to be on their guard.

After all, everyone got one life only. Even if one came to do a mission to earn money, the most important thing was to ensure one's own life.

Compared to them, Jing Yunxiao was much calmer.

Firstly, it was because his mental energy was exceptionally strong, and his perception of his surroundings was much sharper than Zuo Qingfeng and the others.

Secondly, he was the Great Rebirth Emperor in his previous life, so he had gone to the Bedlam Region and the Godgrave Mountain as well as other fiendish lands. Although this Great Desolate Mountain Range was dangerous, it wasn't to the point where he would be on tenterhooks.

In his previous life, Jing Yunxiao's Rebirth Palace was established on the Beast God Island, where no one came to visit but was filled with Divine Beast.

Seeing the indifferent look on Jing Yunxiao's face, Zuo Qingfeng and the others were slightly surprised.

They originally thought that Jing Yunxiao would appear to be extremely nervous and fearful when he enters the Great Desolate Mountain Range for the first time, at least they had be extremely careful when they came here for the first time. But they never thought that Jing Yunxiao would be even calmer than them. Was he too naïve to be afraid?

Actually, Jing Yunxiao was also surprised in his heart.

However, his surprise was not towards himself, but towards Wan Dong who was disguised as a man and Li Yu who had a pockmarked face.

Not only did these two seem very familiar with the Great Desolate Mountain Range, they also seemed very calm.

This kind of calmness caused Jing Yunxiao to feel that it was a little strange. He faintly felt that the two of them seemed to have other motives for coming here, but he naturally didn't know what exactly they were up to. Regarding that, he could only be careful to take every step forward.

"Roar! Roar!"

Travelling forward, the sound of demon beasts could be heard everywhere. Some were strong, some were weak, some were fierce, and some were wild.

In less than half a day's time, Jing Yunxiao and the others had already encountered four waves of demon beasts that were rather hard to tackle.

The first wave was a large group of First Rank underground lizards.

The second wave was a dozen Second Rank Ice Soul Pythons.

The third wave consisted of seven to eight Third Rank Scarlet Blood Spider Kings.

The fourth wave consisted of several demonic beasts that had just reached the Fourth Rank.

These four waves of demonic beasts were either huge in numbers or had a advantageous geographical position. To the ordinary cultivators who entered the Great Desolate Mountain Range, they could be considered powerful opponents, but to Jing Yunxiao and the rest, they were easy to deal with.

After all, among them, other than Jing Yunxiao, the worst was still cultivators at Fourth Level of Qi Martial Stage. As long as it was not a peak of the Fourth Rank or above demonic beasts, there would not be much difficulty.

And because Jing Yunxiao's cultivation was only at Ninth Level of Arterial Circulation Stage, even though he had used that strange movement skill to toy with the short fatty to the point of ruining his face, in the eyes of Zuo Qingfeng and the others, Jing Yunxiao was still the weakest amongst them. Therefore, Jing Yunxiao had not yet to make a move because the others had not let him do so.

The other person who did not make a move was naturally the tall lean Hao Fei.

He was proud and arrogant, relying on his cultivation at the Fifth Level of Qi Martial Stage, he believed that all the demonic beasts he met along the way were not qualified for him to take action, so he had once been a spectator.

Of course, the only thing that didn't change was his cold and indifferent look towards Jing Yunxiao.

In this regard, Jing Yunxiao was already used to it.

He ignored Hao Fei. As they travelled, he constantly used the Imperial Fire to refine the Capital Ore that he bought before, as well as the Heaven Fragrant Dew to assist him in refining it.

Under the absorption and refinement, Jing Yunxiao's meridians were opened up four more times, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Arterial Circulation Stage in one go. He was just missing an opportunity to step over the Arterial Circulation Stage and rush into the Qi Martial Stage.

"Everyone, we are now almost at the center of the outer ring. This is also the most dangerous place in the outer ring, so if we are not careful, we might encounter a Fourth Rank, Fifth Rank, or even a Sixth or Seventh Rank demonic beast, so we can’t be more cautious."

After going deeper into the Great Desolate Mountain Range, Zuo Qingfeng suddenly said.

He wasn't just saying it for nothing.

It was just that this region did give people a much more oppressive feeling. It was a sense of crisis that a powerful demonic beast could jump out at any moment from the surroundings.

"Roar! Roar!"

As expected, just as Zuo Qingfeng finished speaking, a thunderous roar sounded out from the surroundings.

The sudden appearance of the thunderous roar startled Jing Yunxiao and the others.

Following that, Jing Yunxiao saw a Green Maned Lion King that was in the forest beside him. It pounced and stood in front of them, blocking their path.

The Green Maned Lion King's eyes burned with passion, looking at Jing Yunxiao and the others as if they were its own delicacies. There was even a lot of saliva flowing out of its mouth, as disgusting as it could get.

"Peak Fourth Rank Demonic Beast?"

Seeing this Green Maned Lion King, Zuo Qingfeng, Wu Zhenshuai and Ta Zemei immediately revealed a hint of fear on their faces.

Although they were all cultivators at the fourth level of the Qi Martial Stage, they were more than enough to deal with ordinary fourth Rank Demonic Beasts, but facing a peak fourth Rank Demonic Beast, they were all quite troublesome. At the very least, none of them had the confidence to defeat the Green Maned Lion King.
