Chapter 126: The Chaotic Magic Beast Mountain Range
The next day, Xiao Ming took Zi Yan to scour the Magic Beast Mountain Range in search of various medicinal herbs.
Even with the talent of perception of medicinal herbs, it was not easy to find them, as perception had a distance limit.
To increase efficiency, Xiao Ming and Zi Yan split up and searched for various kinds of medicinal herbs.
Once they found the medicinal herb, if there was a magical beast protecting it, they would call each other and fight it two versus one.
During this period, the higher-level magical beasts that inhabited the Magic Beast Mountain Range were very unlucky.
Many of them were beaten by Xiao Ming and Zi Yan and stripped of the medicinal herbs they had worked so hard to protect for years.
After being treated like this by Xiao Ming and Zi Yan, those magical beasts felt aggrieved in their hearts, and every night, they would raise their heads to the sky and howl to vent their discontent.
Many of the mercenary groups that chose to enter the mountain at this time of the year were unlucky and suffered heavy losses.
Xiao Ming was unaware of this.
In a hidden, frozen pond, Xiao Ming raised his hand and knocked down a fourth-rank magical beast called Phantom Ice Boa, before approaching the edge of the pond and squatting down.
He plucked a medicinal herb growing on the bank with a strange blue glow.
"Blue Ice Grass, the companion of the Phantom Ice Boa, if consumed without supplementary medicine, it can easily poison a Dou Grandmaster and has a miraculous effect in the Dou Spirit realm. Not bad, it will be of use to Xiao Yi Xian."
Xiao Ming placed this medicinal herb in his storage ring, then stood up to look at the sky.
"Counting time, ten days have passed in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. It's time to leave..."
Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation and a violent lion roar sounded in the sky like thunder, interrupting Xiao Ming's words.
Xiao Ming's face changed slightly as he heard the lion's roar, his wings appeared on his back and he appeared in the air, his gaze fixed on the distant sky, where the violent energy fluctuation came from.
Soon after, a huge magical beast appeared in Xiao Ming's sight.
The surface of this magical beast, which was seven to eight meters long, was covered by a layer of purple-colored crystal, which reflected the sunlight and shone it in all directions. The Magic Beast's head was an ominous-looking lion's head with a pair of bloody red beast eyes that carried a strange glint of purplish light and a large mouth covered with fangs. Each time it stepped down, it would cause the empty air to shake, displaying a great strength that was difficult to imagine.
In front of this magical beast, a small white figure fled with mysterious movements.
Seeing that the figure was Zi Yan, the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth twitched as he was speechless.
'The King of the Magic Beasts Mountain Range, the Sixth Rank Amethyst Winged Lion King, chasing after her so frantically, Zi Yan wouldn't have rampaged the lion's lair, would she?'
"Roar, you damn thief, stop right there!" Behind her, the exasperated voice of Amethyst Winged Lion King sounded, which had no effect on Zi Yan.
Instead, it was Xiao Ming who appeared in his line of sight which caused her eyes to light up, and with a flap of her wings, she flew towards Xiao Ming at a slightly faster speed.
Soon, Zi Yan carried the Amethyst Winged Lion King to Xiao Ming.
The first words Zi Yan said were.
"Xiao Ming, quickly help me beat up this little winged lion, and I will share half of the things with you."
Seeing the thief it was chasing stopped next to a strange young man, the Amethyst Winged Lion King also stopped not far away warily.
Hearing Zi Yan's words, Amethyst Winged Lion King became even more enraged and its voice thundered like a storm.
"You damned thief, give me back what you have stolen or you won't be able to leave the Magic Beast Mountain Range today! And that human next to you, I'm warning you that you'd better stay out of our business, or else you'll suffer the consequences!"
Directly ignoring Amethyst Winged Lion King's words, Xiao Ming looked at Zi Yan who was standing beside him.
"What did you take from it to make it chase you for tens of miles?" As Xiao Ming recalled, Amethyst Winged Lion King King's cave was located far away from here.
"It's because of this."
A meter-high square amethyst stone platform seemed to have been taken out by Zi Yan.
On top of the amethyst stone platform, a purple object the size of a human head was silently placed.
"Amethyst Lion Birth Essence..." Xiao Ming recognized what this purple orb was at a glance, the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence was an item that would only be produced with a very small probability when the Amethyst Winged Lion gave birth to its cubs.
This type of Amethyst Lion Birth Essence, when the young beast grew into a fourth-rank magical beast, as long as it devoured it, it could directly become a fifth-rank magical beast, moreover, the purple fire in its body would be stronger than other Amethyst Winged Lions that had not devoured the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence!
Being able to make a fourth-rank magical beast leap to fifth-rank, one could imagine how much energy this item contained, and it was no wonder Zi Yan had stolen it.
This Amethyst Lion Birth Essence was also very important to the Amethyst Winged Lion Clan, and it was normal for the Amethyst Winged Lion King to chase Zi Yan for dozens of miles after discovering it.
Seeing Zi Yan take out the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence, the Amethyst Winged Lion King became agitated and roared loudly.
"Quick, give it back to me!"
"Give it back to you? It could be... or better not" said Zi Yan as she stuck her tongue out at him, then shoved the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence back into her own storage ring under the furious gaze of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
This blatant taunting caused the Amethyst Winged Lion King to finally lose its patience.
During this period of time, it had also discovered that the two people in front of it were just two Dou Kings, and since they sought death, it could not be blamed for conceding to them!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King bellowed, and from its huge mouth, a low roar echoed through the mountains.
At the sound of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's roar, the amethyst crystal on its body glowed brightly, and in the blink of an eye, raging purple flames erupted from its body, the purple flames gradually coiled and whirled, finally converging into a huge pillar of purple fire that shot skyward. The heat caused the Phantom Ice Boa, which had been knocked out by Xiao Ming, to wake up a few hundred meters below, and when it felt the heat, the Phantom Ice Boa scurried into the pool of water with a whoosh.
"Hmph, who's afraid of you!?" Zi Yan originally wasn't afraid of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and now that Xiao Ming was nearby, she was even braver, her delicate figure trembled slightly, and she moved straight towards the Amethyst Winged Lion King in an instant, her little fist clenched tightly, a terrifying power brewing in it.
"Humph, a mere Dou King, how dare you to be so arrogant? Know your place." A roar erupted from the huge mouth of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and with a single vibration of its wings, the huge purple fire pillar on its body smashed into Zi Yan.
The purple fire pillar instantly shot out towards her, and when she felt the fierce and hot energy contained within it, Zi Yan's face became slightly serious as she slowly extended her small fist and pointed her five fingers at the purple fire pillar that shot out towards her.
"Break!"
Boom!
With the sound of her voice, Zi Yan's five fingers shot out a wave of invisible fluctuations that spread out like lightning, and the ten-meter space in front of her was compressed into a ball by an extremely terrifying force, the purple fire pillar passing by was also compressed into that space.
Boom! Another bang resounded in the surroundings, and the purple fire pillar finally burst into a beautiful purple fire flower, the energy in it dispersing completely.
The energy released was so terrifying that it caused the surrounding space to oscillate faintly.
