Chapter 426: 334 Lin Feng_1

Wood Demons differ from Monster Beasts; they have neither Spirit Souls nor Demon Cores, leaving only a Crystal Core upon death.

In the face of the Golden Magnet Array, a fourth-order early-stage Flower Demon had no power to resist and thus perished.

If they fought head-on, Shen Long would have a hard time killing the Flower Demon, as it could escape using the Wood Escape Technique, and Shen Long wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Shen Long channeled a spell into the Array Plate, the golden light screen dissipated, and the gravity was gone.

He beckoned with one hand, and the Flower Demon’s Crystal Core flew towards him, landing in his palm.

The Tree Demon had currently devoured two fourth-order Wood Demon Crystal Cores, and with this Nascent Soul stage Flower Demon’s Crystal Core, it should be able to advance to the fourth order.

Shen Long pinched a spell, and eighteen golden Formation Flags flew out from the ground and into his sleeves.

Shen Hai hurried over, thankful to him for playing the bait; otherwise, the Flower Demon wouldn’t have been so easily trapped in the Array.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox burrowed out from the ground and let out a low growl, circling around Shen Long.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada flew over, emitting sharp and piercing chirps.

"A fourth-order early-stage Three-Tailed Spirit Fox, that’s rare. Might as well slaughter it; eating its Demon Core will certainly aid in your growth."

Shen Long said with a smile, bringing Shen Hai into the Myriad Beasts Tower to cultivate on the fourth layer.

A covert underground cavern, one hundred ninety li away.

A snow-white fox lay in the cavern’s bottom left corner; it had three tails, and not far from it were dozens of yellow Lingzhi mushrooms.

A fiery red light brightened, and Shen Long appeared, his back sporting a pair of wings that flickered with red light.

Upon Shen Long’s appearance, the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox was startled; a bright yellow light emanated from its body as it was about to cast the Earth Escape Technique to flee. Suddenly, a piercing screech sounded as if someone had struck a heavy blow to its head, dizzying it.

At the same time, a powerful gravity field materialized, pinning it in place.

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and Qian Gold Needles shot out, piercing its head. A mini fox spirit flew out of the body and was collected by Shen Long into a Green Jade Vase.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Iron Tail Scorpion emerged from underground. The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox exhaled a green mist, enveloping the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox corpse and swallowing it whole.

"Millennium Yellow Jade Ganoderma! An unexpected windfall."

Shen Long said with a smile, his gaze falling on the yellow Lingzhi mushrooms.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada flew in, and Shen Long harvested all the Yellow Jade Ganoderma.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada emitted a piercing chirp, having detected other Cultivators.

"Hmm, a fourth-order Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, I wonder if it has a Leading Thunder Pearl or an Absorbing Thunder Pearl."

Shen Long displayed an excited expression and left the cave.

An open area: a gigantic Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle was entangled in combat with a Red Giant Tiger.

The Red Giant Tiger exhaled massive fireballs, aiming for the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle; the fireballs hadn’t even reached within fifty zhang of the Thunder Eagle before dense lightning shattered them, scattering the flames, which fell to the ground and created huge craters.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle spit out a thick golden bolt of lightning, speeding towards the Red Giant Tiger.

The Red Giant Tiger countered with a stream of red soundwaves, halting the golden lightning in its tracks.

A burst of golden thunder light appeared above its head as the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle materialized; with a gentle flap of its wings, dozens of silver thunderballs were released, striking the Red Giant Tiger in succession.

A loud boom followed, and the body of the Red Giant Tiger was engulfed in lightning.

The claws of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle reached into the lightning, and a mournful beastly roar was heard.

When the lightning dissipated, the Red Giant Tiger lay on the ground with a large bloody hole in its head, lifeless.

A strong force of gravity suddenly emerged, and the body of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle uncontrollably plummeted toward the ground. With a flash of red light, Shen Long appeared, gently flapping his Windfire Wings on his back.

As soon as he appeared, the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle opened its mouth and spewed a thick bolt of golden lightning that struck Shen Long. Lightning engulfed Shen Long’s figure, and a yellow spear flew out from within the lightning, hurtling straight towards the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle emitted a golden sonic wave that collided with the yellow spear. The spear instantly shattered, turning into a vast expanse of sparkling yellow sand. Amidst it, a golden flying needle shot out, swiftly penetrating the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle’s head.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle fell, and a mini Thunder Hawk flew out from its body.

Shen Long took out a green jade vase and captured their spirit souls.

He pulled out a short green knife, sliced open the belly of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, hoping to find either a Leading Thunder Pearl or an Absorbing Thunder Pearl, only to be sorely disappointed.

Shen Long collected the corpses of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle and the Red Giant Tiger, then released the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada emitted a shrill chirping sound, alerting the presence of cultivators.

"Eh, disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect!"

Shen Long let out a light exclamation as four Heavenly Ghost Sect cultivators were approaching his location.

He stored away his treasures, descended to the ground, took out a Concealing Spirit Cloak, poured mana into it, and the Cloak shone with dazzling golden light, covering himself and the Hundred Eyes Cicada. The light dispersed, the Cloak vanished, and both Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada disappeared as well.

Some time later, a flying boat with flickering black light sped across the sky, carrying three men and one woman, with a square-faced, large-eyed, black-robed elder leading them, his aura unfathomable.

"Senior Brother Lin has subdued that mutated Strong Golden-Backed Ape, significantly increasing his strength."

A tall and thin man in green robes said with a smile.

"If not for obtaining a thousand-year-old Demon Attracting Grass, it would have been impossible to lure it into the formation. With a purity of bloodline reaching four, my trip here was not in vain," the black-robed elder said in a deep voice.

Lin Feng, at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, a Great Elder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

They had received reliable information that a mutated fourth-tier Strong Golden-Backed Ape was in the Hengduan Mountains. Lin Feng personally led the team, working together with three Mid Stage Nascent Soul sect members. Using a formation, they subdued the ape.

"There are many rare birds and Alien Beasts in the Hengduan Mountains. With a thousand-year-old Demon Attracting Grass in hand, hunting Monster Beasts is quite convenient. Why not stay a while longer?" suggested a full-figured woman in a black dress.

Su Ying, a protective elder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

"Forget it. A fifth-tier Monster Beast has appeared here before, and there is definitely more than one mutated fourth-tier beast. It’s better to leave early. It’s not worth being too greedy. After all, cultivation is the essence," Lin Feng rejected Su Ying’s suggestion.

The black flying boat emanated blinding black light and accelerated its escape speed, quickly leaving the area.

Half an hour later, the void shined with a streak of golden light, revealing Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada. Watching the departing figures of Lin Feng and his group, Shen Long’s face showed a thoughtful expression.

"A mutated Strong Golden-Backed Ape! With this beast, Lin Feng’s strength has increased significantly," Shen Long muttered to himself.

The focus of the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s development was in the Northern Sea Cultivation Realm, which didn’t affect Shen Long, but he also didn’t wish for the sect to grow stronger.

"It’s also time to make a trip to the Northern Sea Cultivation Realm. I don’t have many Blood Flood Dragon Pills left," he talked to himself.

For refining Blood Flood Dragon Pills or aiding the Ice Flood Dragon in advancing, he needed to venture to the Northern Sea Cultivation Realm.

Shen Long put the Hundred Eyes Cicada back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet and left the area.
