It was unknown if Shun Long's luck was good or bad, but not long after he left the 'earth bear's cave', an early rank 2 ''silver-haired fox'' attacked him.

Without using any of his qi, just by relying on the 'Monarch's Eternal body's' strength, Shun Long sent a full-powered punch towards the fox's ribcage.

Although the 'silver-haired fox' also managed to bite Shun Long's hand before the punch had connected, Shun Long only felt a sting before the fox was sent flying towards the nearby trees.

As a rank 2 magic beast, the 'silver-haired fox' had expected its teeth to tear through the human's arm without a problem. However, Shun Long's body was extremely durable and the fox didn't even last one punch before it was heavily injured.

At this point, unless a magic beast had some sort of natural weapon, like the 'iron-winged eagle's' sharp wings, they probably wouldn't be a match for Shun Long, unless the beast had reached the middle level of rank 2.

''This 'outer sect examination' truly is a survival test. You may die at any moment if you aren't careful here.'' Shun Long thought.

After killing the 'silver-haired fox' and storing its body, he then headed deeper inside the Demonic Mountain Region.

''Master, there are plenty of rank 2 beasts in this area'' little Black warned.

Shun Long was more than 50 miles away from the Demonic Mountain Region's entrance by now, and the more he walked the more he noticed how the rank 2 magic beasts around him had started to increase in number.

However, with little Black scanning the area around him, he didn't have anything to worry about, as he avoided the magic beasts that were at the middle stage of rank 2 and above.

Night soon arrived and Shun Long jumped on top of a tree when he heard little Black's voice inside his head

''Master, I feel that as we are heading deeper inside this Demonic Mountain Region the qi around us is becoming purer compared to when we were still on the outskirts.''

Shun Long nodded his head as he too had discovered this earlier. As he activated the 'Monarch's Hourglass', his qi balls were being refined faster than usual.

''Did you find out the reason behind this change?''

Little Black shook his head before replying

''There is definitely something extraordinary deeper in this Demonic Mountain Region or the density of the qi in the air wouldn't have changed for no reason.''

Then with a joyous voice little Black said

''Master, the rank 2 'blood wolves' that we were looking for earlier have now appeared almost 4 miles away from our east.''

Elated, Shun Long stood up and followed little Black's directions as he quickly headed towards the wolves' location.

The 'blood wolves' were magic beasts that always hunted in packs, and it wouldn't be easy to kill them, but their hearts as well as their beast cores were important to Shun Long who wanted to refine the 'Profound earth fruit' into a pill.

After a short while, Shun Long had arrived in front of a valley where 5 early rank 2 'blood wolves' had encircled a small group of blue-robed disciples.

There were 4 people in this group, one man and three women, each of them covering each others' back so the 'blood wolves' wouldn't pick them off one by one

Shun Long could sense that the strongest among these disciples was the good-looking young man with the blue sword in his hand, who was at the early rank 3 in earth grade, while the 3 women's strength was only at the early rank 2 in earth grade.

Just as he was about to sit at a tree and wait until the 'blood wolves' had tired themselves with this group of disciples from the 'Roaring wind pavilion', Shun Long's mind had a sudden idea as he looked at this group of 4 people before he walked towards them.

As soon as the good-looking young man noticed Shun Long, he waved his hand as he screamed

''Brother please help us'' He was fighting off 3 wolves on his own while the 3 young women behind him were also struggling to contain the 2 wolves that were left for them.

Shun Long then looked at the young man whose body was riddled with bites and claw marks as he asked bluntly

''What will I get if I help you?''

Both the young man and the 3 young women were stunned.

Right! Why will he risk his life to help us?

The young man then gritted his teeth as he said determinedly

''We can give you 4 survival points''

But Shun Long just shook his head at this suggestion as he responded

''Won't I be able to get your survival points if I just let the 'blood wolves' kill you? I will also be able to get all your possessions by then.''

The young man was shocked at Shun Long's bluntness but he knew that his words were correct. He then asked in a frantic voice

''What do you want then?''

''I want the 4 survival points, as well as the 'blood wolves' hearts and beast cores.''

As soon as they heard Shun Long's demands, all 4 of them were furious as the girls were the first to scream

''Impossible!''

The young man also shook his head as he said

''I can concede and also give you the 'blood wolves' hearts along with the 4 survival points but I need the beast cores as well as the wolves' pelts.''

Shun Long shook his head at this group's greed as he turned and walked away.

While he may have sounded to be asking for too much, the truth was that if he didn't help them, not only would these people have no chance to kill the 'blood wolves' by themselves, but at least 3 of them if not their entire group, would end up dead here.

As the young man in blue robes saw that Shun Long was leaving, he gritted his teeth as he shouted ''Wait!''

He then took a deep breath as he continued

''If you can really help us, then you can take 3 of the beast cores as well..''
