“Yes!” said Yang Pojun with a somewhat solemn expression.
“Oh?” Fang Lin immediately showed curiosity.
Yang Pojun glanced at Yang Wanshan, who did not react at all, and continued, “In the very depths of the Imperial Beast Garden, two Four Transformations Demon Beasts are imprisoned. They possess extreme power and were repressed by the supreme emperor and many royal adepts.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin became extremely interested. A Four Transformations Demon Beast. That’s equivalent to a Spirit Vein martial artist of the Human Clan. Even a Heavenly Origin expert would simply die at the hands of such a Demon Beast.
Fang Lin did not expect that within this small royal Imperial Beast Garden, there were two powerfully intense Four Transformations Demon Beasts imprisoned. Didn’t the royals fear that these two Demon Beasts might escape one day and bring about disaster?
“Hehehe, it seems like Fang Lin is very interested in those Four Transformations Demon Beasts. Let’s go directly to take a look.” Yang Wanshan laughed.
However, Yang Pojun hesitated: “The Four Transformations Demon Beasts are extremely powerful. If we go, I’m afraid it’s not safe.”
Yang Wanshan laughed heartily, patted Yang Pojun on the shoulder, and said, “Fourth brother, I have always thought that among all of us brothers, you have the most courage. Now, why are you becoming timid? The two Four Transformations Demon Beasts are repressed by an array, they can’t cause any trouble.”
Provoked by Yang Wanshan, Yang Pojun said nothing more.
However, Fang Lin sensed something odd. It seemed that Yang Wanshan was very eager for them to check out those two Four Transformations Demon Beasts in the depths. What was he up to?
Little wonder that Fang Lin grew suspicious as he always thought Yang Wanshan was not to be trusted. Now, he was stimulating Yang Pojun with his words and encouraging them to venture to the deepest part of the Imperial Beast Garden, which seemed full of ill intentions.
However, Fang Lin kept his suspicions to himself. This was purely based on his intuition and conjecture. Perhaps Yang Wanshan didn’t have any ulterior motives.
Without further ado, the group proceeded deeper into the dark depths. As they ventured deeper, the Demon Qi became stronger, and everyone felt an invisible, oppressive discharge from the darkness.
Seeing this, Fang Lin’s expression changed. Such a heavy sense of oppression could only be attributed to a Three Transformations realm Demon Beast at the very least.
“Up ahead is where the Three Transformations Demon Beasts are kept. There are twelve of them in total.” Yang Wanshan pointed at the cages in front of them.
After a short walk, there were indeed twelve huge cages appearing ahead. Each cage contained a grotesque and fearsome Demon Beast.
The Demon Beasts held here were all at the Three Transformations stage, equivalent to Heavenly Origin martial artists. Any one of them would be capable of crushing them all to a pulp
“Of these twelve Three Transformations Demon Beasts, the strongest is undoubtedly the Steel-Backed Bear. Its steel-like skin is incredibly hard, and its strength terrifying. No martial artist of the same realm could stand up to it,” Yang Wanshan explained.
Fang Lin looked over and sure enough, inside one of the cages was a towering Steel-Backed Bear. Standing on its hind legs, it was more than five meters tall, its massive paws sturdy and thick. If it hit you, you would most certainly be killed instantly.
Fang Lin stared at the Steel-Backed Bear recklessly and couldn’t help licking his lips.
“Bear paw…it’s been a while since I’ve had that,” Fang Lin mumbled to himself.
Upon hearing Fang Lin’s murmur, Yang Pojun was taken aback and gave Fang Lin a strange look.
Had the guy gone insane? He desired to eat the paw of a Steel-Backed Bear? The Steel-Backed Bear was notorious for its fondness for live human flesh, for heaven’s sake.
It seemed that it sensed someone outside, the Steel-Backed Bear, which was originally dozing off with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes and roared at the crowd.
Roar!!!
The deafening roar was so terrifying that even with the array blocking, everyone was startled and involuntarily stepped back.
“What a pure-blooded Steel-Backed Bear. What a pity it’s trapped here, depriving it of the opportunity to grow further,” Fang Lin secretly admired in his heart.
Unlike the others, Fang Lin knew that the Steel-Backed Bear was a lineage surviving since ancient times, with a long bloodline.
In the old days, a pure-blood Steel-Backed Bear, grown to its full potential, could transform into an even more terrifying Sky-splitting Bear.
A Sky-splitting Bear was at least a Five Transformations beast. Its tough-as-rock skin and needle-like hair were so hard that even Divine Weapons had trouble leaving a scratch.
Fang Lin had once hunted a Sky-splitting Bear, using its gall and Demon Blood for Pill Refining, and stewed its paw for food.
The Steel-Backed Bear in front of him must be of a pure breed, but it was imprisoned here, reduced to a pet. In that case, it had almost no chance to grow any further
Nevertheless, it was understandable why the royals were keeping it here. They never expected the Steel-Backed Bear to continue to grow. If it evolved into a Sky-splitting Bear, who in the royal family could suppress it? It could have turned the capital into ruins long ago.
“Hm?” At this moment, Fang Lin felt fluctuations from the Beast Bag. Looking inside, he found the golden furry ball squeaking anxiously, its big eyes filled with worry.
Fang Lin frowned, feeling something was not quite right. He turned his head—Yang Wanshan and the four middle-aged men, who were behind him just a while ago, were nowhere to be seen.
“Damn!” exclaimed Fang Lin. Yang Pojun gave him a puzzled look.
“We’ve fallen into a trap set by your second brother,” Fang Lin said grimly.
Realizing nobody was behind him, Yang Pojun’s expression changed drastically.
“Let’s go!” Without further ado, Fang Lin gave Yang Pojun a pat, and the two hurried back the way they came.
But when they reached the connecting area between the inner layer and the middle part, the two were stupefied. The array had been closed.
In other words, Fang Lin and Yang Pojun were trapped in the innermost part of the Imperial Beast Garden.
“How could this be?” Yang Pojun said unbelievably.
Fang Lin sneered, “Your second brother really has a ruthless, scheming heart. He wants to trap us both here to die.”
Yang Pojun’s face was grim as anger welled up in his heart. He pulled out his golden spear and struck the array at the exit with all his might.
However, the array didn’t budge. Regardless of how much force Yang Pojun exerted, he couldn’t even make a slight impact.
“Don’t waste your energy; we can’t break this array. And there’s a bigger problem coming our way.” Fang Lin grinded his teeth and explained.
Yang Pojun was stunned, not understanding what Fang Lin was implying.
Fang Lin turned around, his eyes fixed firmly on the cage containing the Steel-Backed Bear. He noticed that the glow from the array on the cage was gradually fading.
“What?” Yang Pojun turned pale with fright. If the array disappeared, how could a simple cage possibly hold back such a terrifying Steel-Backed Bear?
