Chapter 2312: You’re Having Fun With Your Clone Skill! (2)

The cavern stretched for dozens of kilometers in height and could span three to four dozen kilometers in width—a staggering expanse. In such an environment, the appearance of a group of origin beasts didn’t surprise Wang Teng at all.
However, he felt that the origin beast core was leading him into a trap.
It had already brought him into a gathering of origin beasts after such a short while, and if it continued guiding him, it seemed like he would be led into an even larger trap.
He even suspected that the ancestor who left the scroll might have intended to harm him.
Nevertheless, the situation did not allow Wang Teng to retreat. He cautiously proceeded forward, and the red glow ahead grew increasingly bright.
The space suddenly expanded before him. Wang Teng saw the group of origin beasts and his eyes widened in shock.
There were so many of them!
This was a cavern that resembled a massive underground grotto, with crimson pillars rising like a stone forest.
Standing on the edge of the cavern, Wang Teng could see the gathering place of the origin beasts below.
The origin beasts here were not of a single type. They exhibited various forms. There were terrestrial predators like tigers and lions, as well as different species of avian creatures, appearing as if randomly coalesced.
Their sizes varied greatly, ranging from tens of meters to hundreds or even over a thousand meters. Some were small, only a few meters or a dozen meters. The differences were substantial.
However, the strength of the origin beasts was not determined by size. Some that were only a dozen meters away emitted an aura far more terrifying than the towering ones that spanned hundreds of meters.
Witnessing this scene, Wang Teng fell into contemplation.
Continuing like this seemed somewhat dangerous.
It wasn’t that he was afraid, but he felt that charging ahead recklessly seemed a bit foolish.
Of course, with so many origin beasts, he couldn’t simply give up.
If he slayed them all, he could obtain numerous origin beast cores. It would be a shame to waste them.
Moreover, to reach the center of the mountain, he would likely need to expend a significant number of origin beast cores.
Wang Teng stroked his chin, pondering for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and an idea struck him. “Got it!”
Clone technique!
Threads of constellation Fire Force emanated from his body, enveloping an origin beast core, gradually transforming it into a flaming origin beast.
“Haha, it does work!” Wang Teng couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
This was his first attempt at using the clone technique to manifest an origin beast, and to his surprise, it succeeded effortlessly.
Whether it was manifesting a human clone or an origin beast clone, there wasn’t much difference fundamentally. It was just a matter of external form. However, when creating the origin beast clone this time, he infused an origin beast core into its essence. This way, his origin beast clone was almost indistinguishable from a regular origin beast.
Even if he threw this origin beast clone into the midst of the origin beast congregation, it probably wouldn’t be noticed.
“This feels quite extraordinary!” Wang Teng controlled the origin beast origin to lift its foot and shake its head playfully, finding the experience quite novel.
For the first time, he transformed his clone into a beast form. Even with his Devour Nihility Beast clone, it mostly had a humanoid appearance, rarely manifesting as a beast.
“Go!” After a moment of amusement, Wang Teng chuckled and shook his head. “Howl!” The origin beast clone let out a quirky howl and leaped down, charging into the congregation of origin beasts below.
Wang Teng quickly stuck his head out to watch.
Boom!
A resounding roar echoed as the origin beast clone descended, smashing a hapless origin beast into pieces, its essence dissolving into primal energy. The exposed origin beast core was swiftly devoured by the origin beast clone.
Though the surrounding origin beasts paused momentarily, witnessing an intra-species skirmish, they soon paid no further attention.
A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the origin beast clone as it lunged towards the nearest origin beast. With a swift claw, it clawed out the core of that origin beast.
A few nearby origin beasts, unable to tolerate the spectacle, interpreted the little creature’s actions as a provocation and pounced.
However, facing the origin beast clone, these cosmos-stage origin beasts were utterly inadequate and were promptly crushed.
Roar!
Howl!
More and more origin beasts were incited, charging towards the origin beast clone.
Yet, upon closer observation, one would notice that only a small fraction of the origin beasts were truly enraged, while the others remained indifferent.
Hence, hunting down these origin beasts with the origin beast clone seemed surprisingly effortless.
If Wang Teng’s main body had directly descended to hunt the origin beasts, he would have long been ensnared in an all-encompassing onslaught from every origin beast.
“The method you’ve chosen is quite…” Round Ball materialized nearby and peered down, expressing a series of impressed sighs.
“Isn’t it great?” Wang Teng chuckled. “But it seems that a single origin beast clone is a bit too slow. I’ll conjure a few more to assist.”
Regardless, slaying origin beasts would yield Force attributes, so Wang Teng wasn’t concerned about depleting his own Force.
He immediately manifested four additional origin beast clones, representing the elements of metal, wood, water, and earth. Coupled with the fire-element origin beast below, they formed a complete set of Five Elements Origin Beast. These origin beasts weren’t confined to the ground. Some could soar through the skies.
Among them was one that transformed into the likeness of Little White—a golden crow. However, it was a metal-element origin beast, while Little White was a fire-element star beast.
“Go!” Wang Teng waved his hand, releasing all four clones.
“You’re having fun with your clone technique,” Round Ball said with a strange expression.
“Cough, don’t mind these details. Reaching this level with the clone technique is also a kind of achievement,” Wang Teng coughed awkwardly.
“Hehe, self-praising!” Round Ball rolled its eyes and dismissed the comment. Wang Teng rolled his eyes back, ignoring it, and continued observing the ongoing battle below.
The four origin beast clones appeared simultaneously, stunning the surrounding fire-element origin beasts.
These four clearly stood out.
Howl!
Roar!
The fire-element origin beasts began to roar furiously, rising to their feet with hostile glares fixed on Wang Teng’s four origin beast clones.
In their simplistic minds, there was only one thought…
If they weren’t the same kind, kill them!
In an instant, all the origin beasts pounced on Wang Teng’s four clones. “Damn! They’re so aggressive!” Wang Teng was startled by the scene, unable to refrain from letting out a curse.
“No kidding. Your four origin beast clones are not of the same kind. How could they tolerate that?” Round Ball remarked.
“My mistake! My mistake!” Wang Teng shook his head. He had initially believed that as long as they were origin beasts, they wouldn’t trigger aggression from the fire-element origin beasts. Now, it seemed he was too naive.
If they weren’t the same species, how could they become friends?
In that case, it was time to fight!
Wang Teng’s eyes turned ruthless. He controlled the five origin beast clones to engage in a frenzied massacre. For someone capable of multitasking, controlling five origin beast clones was a piece of cake.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Below, a fierce battle erupted, creating chaos and causing the entire cavern to tremble continuously.
Wang Teng glanced at the cavern ceiling, half expecting it to suddenly collapse. However, he was overthinking. The Five Elements Mountain was composed of extremely sturdy material, and even if a heaven-stage martial warrior’s attack landed on it, it would only leave a shallow mark.
After more than an hour, the origin beasts below were completely eradicated by Wang Teng. He leaped down, collecting both attribute bubbles and origin beast cores.
“Bye!”
Wang Teng bid farewell and, with his five origin beast clones leading the way, left the area.
As time passed, Wang Teng had grasped the patterns, so the pace of his advancement increased significantly. In just over five hours, he felt that he had covered a considerable distance.
At this rate, he might reach the core of the Fire Elements Mountain in less than three days.
“Huh?”
At a certain moment, Wang Teng suddenly halted a hint of surprise in his eyes.
His clone unexpectedly encountered Guizang Yan and the others.
Not the beast clone, but his human clone.
Since it wasn’t far from his current location, Wang Teng pondered for a moment and decided to go over and take a look.
On the other side, Wang Teng’s clone encountered Guizang Yan and the group in the cavern. Both sides stared at each other, creating an awkward atmosphere.
“Councilor Wang Teng, what a coincidence to meet here,” Guizang Yan looked at Wang Teng’s clone, a sly smile gradually forming on his lips..
