Divine Emperor of Death

Davis sighed as he shook his head.

"Indeed, your poison, no, poison in general, is a huge deterrent to Magical Beasts. Perhaps, only a few, mostly with resistance to the poison would be brave enough to battle with a Poison Cultivator or a Poison Attributed Magical Beast..." Davis chuckled as he looked at Evelynn.

The poisonous mist of yesterday definitely spoke volumes of how poison laws acted as a lethal area of effect offensive method that still stayed as time passed by... It reminded him of the underground misty river below Old Man Garvin's room that is said to have a curbing effect on souls.

"Is it because it is difficult for them to cure poison?" Evelynn curiously pursed her lips.

Davi both nodded and shook his head, "When a Magical Beast experiences in a level or a stage, it is said that in terms of Human Cultivation System, both their Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation simultaneously experiences a breakthrough. Hence, it should be easier for a higher stage Magical Beast to easily deal with your poison."

Evelynn's mouth became slightly agape before she nodded her head.

"So in theory, a Saint Beast Stage Magical Beast should be able to ignore your poison for few minutes, and that should be enough time for it to eat you till only pieces of you were left... Haha!"

Evelynn puckered her lips as she became angered, "Don't make fun of me..."

In a few minutes, the arrived at a valley intersecting two mountains. One of the mountains had its peak summit at a hundred and forty-eight kilometers while the other had its peak at two hundred and fifty kilometers.

The valley was long and wide as it stretched forwards in a linear fashion with some zig-zags at some location. There were numerous caves by the side of mountains, hosting many and unknown Magical Beasts and the weak ones scurried away at the first sight of two humans, Davis and Evelynn.

However, there were some of them who stayed and blatantly directed their gazes at them even though they were of lower stages!

"Sunset Mountain Wolves... The most common breed of wolves in this Magical Beast Mountain. There are many clans of Sunset Mountain Wolves foresting this region and there's even a variant that prefers to live in the forests rather than caves..." 

"Their species rank is at Earth Rank..."

Davis explained to Evelynn, making her understand that these wolves she saw yesterday and even killed with her poisonous mist were none other the forest variant of these wolves.

'So their species rank is at the Earth Rank... No wonder they displayed signs of high intelligence...' Evelynn mused as she saw that some of these wolves were still remaining.

The remaining wolves stayed and looked at them with a threatening gaze in their eyes. They were all at Grand Beast Stage, their bodies were more than five meters tall, their big and sharp fangs were clearly visible through their agape mouth that drooled with a hint of desire for human meat.

Suddenly, a seven-meter tall wolf walked out from a cave. Its fur revealed a reddish-brown glow under the sunlight while its four legs had sharp claws stretching out of its paws. It inclined its head towards the skies and let out a howl!

*Awooo!~*

*Awoooooo!~~~* 

The other wolves howled together as if they were following their leader. Their pack mentality was plain to be seen even though they were all higher stage Magical Beasts.

Davis intently checked the leader wolf's undulations and confirmed that it was just a Low-Level Saint Beast Stage Magical Beast, just like the fifty-meter snake he had previously killed.

However, for some reason, he felt that there howl made the atmosphere a little sad because it sounded as if there were venting its grievous emotions.

The leader wolf stopped howling and the other wolves did the same in a few seconds as their echoed dyed off from sounding all over the area.

The leader wolf then looked at Davis and moved its mouth, "Humans! Leave!"

Davis became a little surprised when he heard its feminine voice and so did Evelynn.

'The leader of the wolves was female?' He wasn't discriminating but he knew that an alpha, a male wolf led the Sunset Mountain Wolf Clans.

Davis blinked and then replied, "You are of no interest to me. We just want to pass this valley and enter the depths."

Indeed, he had no interest in this clan because his Soul Forging Cultivation wouldn't improve and unhesitatingly he deemed it a waste of time for starters.

But if the female wolf leader insisted otherwise, then he would make sure that they improved his battle prowess by treating them as his punching bags. Perhaps Evelynn would join as well.

The leader wolf suddenly erupted into a brown glow and her figure changed into one of a blazingly hot woman with sharp facial features wearing tribal clothes. Her shoulder-length hair became brown and skin turned out to be fair.

Her expression was blank, better said to be cold. She took a step forward and flew towards Davis.

"Humans, you're always harassing us, actively hunting us and using our fur to make defensive garments and our organs to make a bunch of pills unknown to us. Now you say that you have no interest in me? Am I supposed to believe your words?"

Davis looked at her nearing figure and understood that she was willing to engage in discussion.

In the Magical Beast Encyclopaedia and according to most books relating to Magical Beasts, if a wild Magical Beast is willing to take a human form in front of a human, then it mostly meant that it is willing to engage in discussion. Other cases existed too but those were rare outliers.

Davis had experienced this moment before with the Tyrannical Blue Ape child which was rather naive. However, the Sunset Mountain Wolf in front of him was rather a completely grown adult who fully understood her actions.

"And am I supposed to hunt all the wolves I've come across?" Davis nonchalantly asked.

The wolf woman stopped in her tracks as her expression changed. 

She closed her eyes and before it shot open with a sharp glint, "Just leave! You will not be able to survive past this valley!"

"Whether if I am able to survive or not is none of your concern. Let's just ignore each other twice, shall we?" Davis spread his hands wide.

"Twice?" The wolf woman narrowed her eyes.

"One for entrance and the other for exiting in the future..." 

Davis just shrugged and the woman became speechless as her mouth lips parted. She palmed her face and heaved a sigh. Her nails which were three centimeters long became visible to Davis and Evelynn.

The woman looked as if she were going to say something but suddenly looked up, even leaving herself vulnerable in front of Davis for a moment as if she didn't care that he would attack him.

Davis and Evelynn followed her gaze and saw that a Magical Beast with a twenty-meter wingspan was descending towards them from a height of two hundred kilometers.

It was nothing more than a big dot the skies but as seconds passed, its figure became clear.

Its dark purple wings were majestic, especially the hue of violet shining under the sunlight. The small crown on its head that looked like an imitation accentuated its majestic figure. The base of its neck was covered with red-colored feathers. Its talons were big enough to punch a three-meter wide hole on a tree.

"It's a Crowned Violet-Winged Condor..." 

Davis smiled as he finally found a target.
