Grrr!!!

Crack! Crack! Crash!!!

Booooooom!!!

At this moment, the Longhorn Thunderbolt Bull spirit monster was furious at being ambushed and seriously injured. It vented its anger by creating thunderbolts from its horns and launching them throughout the surrounding area, felling trees and shattering the ground.

"Looks like you're really angry, destroying the surrounding area like that! Well! For you to not have to suffer your wounds for long, I'll help you myself!"

[Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill]

Roooaaar!!!

Bang!

Booooooom!!!

Grrr!!!

Zheng-Fu aimed his second attack at the Longhorn Thunderbolt Bull spirit monster's head. But as his sword wave hit the monster's horn, it suddenly released a thunderbolt wave. Zheng-Fu's sword wave dissipated along with the spirit monster's thunderbolt wave, both vanishing into thin air.

However, the impact of the collision still existed. The Longhorn Thunderbolt Bull spirit monster sustained further injuries and shrieked even louder.

Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!

Grrr!!! Grrr!!! Grrr!!!

At the same time, the footsteps and roars of additional Longhorn Thunderbolt Bull spirit monsters echoed, and there were more than three of them.

"What the hell!"

When Zheng-Fu saw three more Longhorn Thunderbolt Bull spirit monsters, his face instantly turned pale. He could barely handle one, and with more of them, he would surely be overwhelmed and killed by their thunderbolts. Zheng-Fu decided to flee before they could notice him.

"Better run away for now! I can't fight four of them at once. I'll wait for my energy level to rise a little more and then come back to settle accounts with them!" This was yet another time Zheng-Fu had to escape from a spirit monster because he couldn't handle facing so many at once. If it had been just one, he wouldn't have been afraid at all.

Five lis to the left of where Zheng-Fu was just now...

Thud!

Phew!!!

"I should be out of their range now. Sigh! I just thought I'd find a sparring partner..."

Whoosh!!!

Whooooooosh!!!

Booooooom!!!

"Damn it! Who dared to attack me!?" When Zheng-Fu let out a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped from the herd of Longhorn Thunderbolt Bull spirit monsters, suddenly, he sensed a strong psychic killing intent rushing toward him. He narrowly dodged the attack, took a stance, turned to face the direction of the attack, and shouted in dissatisfaction.

Hiss!!! Hiss!!!

The response wasn't a human voice but a hissing sound, accompanied by a two-pointed red tongue sticking out of the misty dust. Zheng-Fu immediately realized it was a snake-type spirit monster, its distinctive tongue giving it away.

"Snake-type spirit monster? Moreover, it can hide from my senses until it attacks. This is not a normal creature! Except for the Wood Shadow Serpent spirit monster, no other snake-type spirit monster has such abilities! And it seems its energy level is about the same as the first Longhorn Thunderbolt Bull I encountered!"

Analyzing the situation, Zheng-Fu identified the monster as the Wood Shadow Serpent, a spirit monster renowned for its ability to hide its presence from those two levels above or below its energy level. Even with Zheng-Fu's sharp senses, he couldn't detect it beforehand.

Hiss!!! Hiss!!! Hiss!!!

"You're threatening me? Do you dare to threaten me? Just you alone, and you think you can intimidate me? Ptui! Come in! Let me vent my frustration on you instead of those bastards just now!"

Zheng-Fu quickly scanned the surroundings for other Wood Shadow Serpent spirit monsters. Finding none, he challenged the one before him.

[Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill]

Roar!!!

Boooooooom!!!

Hiss!!! Hiss!!!

Crack!!!

With a single attack from Zheng-Fu, the Wood Shadow Serpent spirit monster was instantly killed. Zheng-Fu's Moonlight Dragon Sword struck its mouth, its weakest point, decapitating it. As the spirit monster died, its soul crystal ball emerged from its body.

Blop!

"Is this what a monster soul looks like? I thought it would resemble its form!" Zheng-Fu examined the Wood Shadow Serpent's soul crystal ball before smiling contentedly and storing it in his dimensional ring.

"Besides this soul crystal ball, the snake's body should also be useful. Better keep it, because if I leave it here, its blood will definitely attract bloodthirsty monsters in the area!" Zheng-Fu recognized the value of the Wood Shadow Serpent's body and stored it in his mysterious dimensional space. He quickly left the area, knowing that lingering would bring unwanted attention.

Whoooooooosh!!!

Whoosh!!!

Roar!!!

Grrr!!! Grr!!!

Quaaack!!!

Once Zheng-Fu made his decision, he immediately left the spot where he had been. As he exited the area, the cries of numerous monsters of various species echoed loudly. It was indeed fortunate for Zheng-Fu that he had decided to flee from there in time.

Ten lis away from the starting point...

Thump!!!

Phew!!!

"Oh, I almost died! If I hadn't rushed out, I would've turned into a delicious loaf of cake, waiting for them to feast on! By the way, where am I now? I didn't look at anything, just ran away!" Zheng-Fu sighed in relief before glancing around to assess his location in the forest.

At this moment, without realizing it, Zheng-Fu had almost exited the ten-li range he had previously set as his limit. He used his psychic ability to survey the area.

"Did I really come this far? But why aren't there any spirit monsters around here? Could they have gathered over where I just passed? Probably not! If that were the case, I should have encountered some of them as I ran past. But it... ah, what is this remnant?"

While Zheng-Fu was speaking and wondering why there were no spirit monsters in this area, his gaze suddenly fell upon some remnants of something. Out of curiosity, Zheng-Fu walked over to investigate what those remnants actually were.

"Huh? This is the remnant of a spirit monster. So why is it here? Oh! There's another one over there, and another there, and there too. It's a spirit monster's soul crystal ball!" Zheng-Fu picked it up to examine what it was. The moment he picked up the fragment, he noticed other fragments nearby, along with a soul crystal ball lying on the ground.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Grrr!!!

Huh?

As Zheng-Fu was about to pick up the spirit monster's soul crystal ball, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed, followed by a low-pitched roar. A large black figure appeared, adorned with white feathers on its neck and two red horns protruding from it. Most strikingly, its tail bore a burning flame.

"Jin-Tian! Is that you, Jin-Tian!?" Zheng-Fu blurted out, calling the large monster Jin-Tian as soon as he saw it. Its figure closely resembled Jin-Tian before he transformed into a human.

Grrr!!!

Rooaaar!!!

However, the spirit monster resembling Jin-Tian had an aggressive and ferocious expression, showing that it was not Zheng-Fu's Jin-Tian. It was merely a spirit monster with a similar figure. More importantly, its energy level was extraordinarily high.

"You're not Jin-Tian!? Then why does your figure look so much like Jin-Tian's?" Zheng-Fu, unaffected by the energy waves accompanying the spirit monster's roars, remained deep in thought, pondering the resemblance.

"Foolish human, get out of this place! This is not a place suitable for a human like you to live in! If you still value your life, leave now!" However, this spirit monster was able to speak the human language, and it spoke very clearly. It told Zheng-Fu to leave the secret land immediately if he didn't want to die.

"You can speak, too? Why are you so similar to Jin-Tian and his mother? Do all of you have bodies like this?" Zheng-Fu's curiosity grew, and he questioned the creature without heeding its warnings.

"I don't understand what you're saying, human! But all of us in the Savage Fire Tiger Race look like this. Or we can change to look like this…"

Whooooosh!!!

When the large spirit monster finished speaking, its body began to transform. From a ten-meter-tall figure, it shrank down to the size of a normal human, adopting a human-like appearance.

Ah!!!

"Anyway, I don't want to use this body at all! Human, I'm warning you one last time. Leave this place immediately, or I, Hu-Tai-Min, will have to deal with you. Even though you are weak and lowly, I won't hold back!" The spirit monster, Hu-Tai-Min, spoke with a cold expression, though it was clear he didn't truly want to act against Zheng-Fu.

"I really can't leave this place because this is where I can cultivate myself to become the strongest. If I leave now, everything I've worked for will be in vain. So, I'll make the most of the three months I have here!" Zheng-Fu immediately rejected Hu-Tai-Min's warning. He knew the spirit monster didn't truly intend to kill him; if that had been its intention, it would have acted already.

"Tch! Don't think I won't dare to kill you, human! I'll warn you for the last time. If you don't leave this place immediately…"

Roooaaar!!!

Huh?

Before Hu-Tai-Min could finish speaking, a terrifying and bloody roar echoed through the area, causing his expression to change drastically.

"That bastard has arrived. It's too late, human! Hurry and come with me if you still want to survive the three months you claim to have!"

Blop!

"What!?!"

When Hu-Tai-Min finished speaking, he rushed toward Zheng-Fu, grabbed him, and led him away to escape the new arrival.
