Chapter 3884: A narrow victory
The ideal situation was that they would discover the lair of the Iron Scaled Sheep, and then draw out the beast king. Then, they would deliver a fatal strike. In that way, there would be no casualties.
It could not be helped. Reality and expectations could not possibly be completely in sync.
At first, they had wanted to kill all eight of the beast kings in one go, but by the looks of it now, that was obviously impossible.
Thus, everyone could only rest and reorganize here.
This was good too. This area was now their territory, so they could go and find the Celestial medicine.
Ling Han was completely unscathed. He naturally couldn’t just sit there. He also went to look for Celestial medicines.
-That Heaven Hunting Crossbow and arrow had been taken back by the Zhou Clan. The reason was that they had to calibrate it. After all, the might of the arrow was too great. Every shot would affect the crossbow and arrow, so in order to ensure the accuracy of the next shot, they had to calibrate and maintain it.
Ling Han naturally knew that it was because the Zhou Clan was worried. After all, this powerful weapon was too terrifying.
He did not refuse. Now, it was the honeymoon period of their cooperation, so they both had to show their sincerity.
After two days, he had really found a few Two Star Celestial medicines, but he did not ingest them immediately. Instead, he wanted to refine them into alchemical pills, so as to increase the efficiency rate.
On the third day, Zhou Mi came to find Ling Han, informing him he could hunt down a second beast king.
All right, then let’s set out.
Everyone was even more careful. After entering the territory of the second beast king, they still split up and went off to find the lair of that beast king.
This time, it was surprisingly smooth. That was because someone had seen that the beast king just happened to return from a hunt, so naturally, the lair was exposed.
After arriving at their destination, the Zhou Clan handed the crossbow bolts over to Ling Han.
After Ling Han had accumulated enough power, he had the Zhou Clan go and lure out the beast king. In the end, the moment it appeared, he shot it dead.
Everyone cheered. This time, there were no casualties. This was practically a miracle. Continue.
They continued to search for the third beast king.
The reason why it was so smooth was also because the second Demonic Beast was only in the early stage of Core Formation Tier. Whether it was its abilities or sensory abilities, they were considerably inferior. However, if it was a peak stage Core Formation Tier, it was very possible that it would discover danger ahead of time.
And what followed was this kind of great test.
The third beast king was a great beast at the peak stage of the Core Formation Tier. If it really came down to it, the four elites of the Core Formation Tier from the Zhou Clan would probably be killed completely within a few minutes.
Thus, everyone was extremely careful. If they were the slightest bit careless, the entire team could possibly be wiped out in an instant.
However, they still continued their good luck and found the beast king’s lair very smoothly.
As per usual, Ling Han began to make preparations, and then had the Zhou Clan go and lure out the beast king.
This was a black wolf, but it was not very big in size. It was not much different from an ordinary wild wolf, but its eyes were terrifyingly ferocious. Even a single glance at it would make one’s heart shudder, or even lose all battle prowess directly.
Xiu, Ling Han didn’t hesitate at all. His mind was calm, and he was unafraid of any aura or viciousness.
This arrow was still as domineering as ever.
Boom!
The arrow shot over, directly shattering the black wolf along with the mountain behind it.
“Killed again!”
“So awesome!”
“Five more times, and we’ll be done.”
Everyone cheered. However, someone immediately let out a tragic cry, which then came to an
abrupt stop.
“Ah!” “Ah!” “Ah!”
Tragic wails rang out endlessly, as if they were playing a musical piece.
What was going on?
Amidst the dust and dirt, everyone was horrified to discover that there was a black shadow rapidly shuttling through, easily reaping human lives.
Hiss, it was that black wolf!
It did not die, but with the latter half of its body missing, it could be seen that the damaged intestines were still dragging out, which was both terrifying and disgusting.
However, it was an existence at the peak stage of the Core Formation Tier. Even with such heavy injuries, its battle prowess was still incredibly terrifying.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Mi said to Ling Han, “We will detain it, and you fire the second arrow as soon as possible.”
“All right.” Ling Han nodded.
The four Core Formation Tier cultivators from the Zhou Clan charged forward. Apart from them, no one else could withstand a single strike from this black wolf, even if it was severely
wounded.
However, that black wolf had absolutely no intention of tangling with the four of them. It was just using its two forelegs to burst out with speed, and was still going on a killing spree in the
-crowd.
All of a sudden, blood flowed like a river.
The people who had died were basically all members of the Zhou Clan. When outsiders saw that the situation was dire, they would naturally immediately shatter their tokens and teleport out of the Mystery Realm to save their lives. Meanwhile, some people had powerful backgrounds, possessing life-saving rare treasures. In fact, the might of their counterattacks was extremely terrifying, and even the black wolf was wary, turning around to attack the
others.
Ling Han continued to observe as he accumulated power. Although this was an unexpected turn of events, it gave him a chance to check out everyone’s trump cards.
However, Song Lan was far too smart, and she immediately retreated from the battle. In fact, she hadn’t even come close to Ling Han before. Now, she could stay out of this battle and watch from the sidelines.
Yi, there were really crouching tigers and hidden dragons among them.
Ling Han saw that there were a few people who were quite extraordinary. They had probably reached Seven Cauldrons of even Eight Cauldrons in battle prowess. Though they were far from being a match for the black wolf, they all had rare treasures on them, which allowed them to stubbornly survive.
Thankfully, the black wold was severely injured after all. Though it had launched a counterattack in its fury, ignoring its injuries, after venting its anger, it was exhausted. Very soon, it was trapped by Zhou Mi and the others, and could no longer attack the others.
Seeing this, Ling Han naturally wasn’t in a hurry. After a whole fifteen minutes, he finally
fired an arrow.
Boom!
This time, it was no longer possible for the black wolf to escape. His head was directly blown off, and he was completely and utterly dead.
The vicious beast at the peak stage of the Core Formation Tier was truly terrifying. It couldn’t kill the sneak attacker, and instead counterattacked, killing at least a few dozen people.
A narrow victory.
The members of the Zhou Clan were all unable to feel happy. Initially, they thought that after they had obtained a deadly weapon, they would be able to sweep aside all opposition in the Heavenly Cloud Mountains. They had not thought that they would encounter a Core Formation Tier beast king, which immediately taught them a bloody lesson.
This time, their raid had to be postponed again. With so many casualties and injuries, they
naturally had to make some adjustments.
Thus, those who were still alive continued to search for Celestial medicines.
They were willing to take the risk, naturally for the sake of their gains.
A great many people were still thinking of supreme great opportunities. Aside from Celestial medicines, there was also the legendary celestial light here, which could be cultivated to become supreme divine light, destroying everything in the world. There was also divine substance, which could stimulate the evolution of Celestial Foundations, Celestial Cauldrons, and Celestial pills, so that they could charge towards a perfect level.
It had to be said that there were really people who had encountered great fortune.
“It’s Liu Chuang.”
“He obtained a divine substance, and raised the level of the Celestial Cauldron.”
“What? He was originally a golden cauldron, the strongest Celestial Cauldron in the world. If he advances another step further, how can he be any stronger?” “You don’t understand. The golden cauldron is not the strongest Celestial Cauldron. Impurities can be further removed, and it can become a special Celestial Cauldron like the platinum cauldron, crystal cauldron, golden jade cauldron, and so on, crushing the golden
cauldron.”
“Hiss, why have I never heard of it?”
“Hehe, that is because you are ignorant and ill-informed.”
When Ling Han heard about this, he was also slightly surprised. He had seen this Liu Chuang
before. Previously, when the black wolf wreaked havoc, this Liu Chuang was the one who had displayed Seven Cauldrons in battle prowess, ranking eighth in the Galaxy Network. Now that he had obtained the divine substance, allowing the Celestial Cauldron to evolve, his battle prowess would definitely increase greatly. However, whose Celestial Cauldron could evolve to his level?
