Chapter 125: Entering the Demonic Beast Territory

  "It seems I'm still immature, and I've been tricked by Huo Niu again. Fortunately, I learned a new martial skill earlier, or else I would have gotten hurt this time. Huo Niu, you're going to pay for hurting my wife and losing your soldiers!"

  "Flame Lotus Exploding Fist!"

  Facing the fire pillar spouted by the Fire Ox, Shangguan Yu calmed down. He clenched his fists and started practicing again as before. The fire pillar seemed to have become gentle and did not cause any harm to Shangguan Yu.

  As Shangguan Yu moved, the pillar of flame also began to move. The Fire Ox stopped its motion of spitting fire and stared at the scene in front of it with wide eyes. But the more it looked, the more shocked it became, for all this had exceeded its imagination.

  The shape of the flame column also changed slowly, from its original columnar shape to its current spherical shape. However, Shangguan Yu's movements still didn't stop, and those flames continued to rotate.

  A spherical flame enveloped Huang Yu inside, and the Fire Ox couldn't see the situation inside at all. It only saw that the spherical flame gradually turned into a lotus shape, and a huge lotus flower appeared in the field.

  Shangguan Yu let out a loud roar, and the massive fire lotus shot towards Huo Niu. Before he could even react, the giant lotus had already reached Huo Niu's side. The power of this punch far exceeded his own when using this martial skill.

  However, there was not a hint of fear in Huo Niu's eyes, as if this giant fire lotus was nothing to be afraid of. Those big eyes even had a hint of mockery and a thread of excitement.

  This time, however, it was Shangguan Yu's turn to be shocked. Huo Niu excitedly let out a loud cry. When the fire lotus reached Huo Niu's body, Huo Niu suddenly grew a large mouth. With a sudden inhale, he actually prepared to swallow that enormous fire lotus whole.

  "No way? Fire Ox is so powerful, it's indeed a fire ox, really awesome! If I eat this whole fire lotus, I estimate that the Fire Ox's physical strength can be restored again. I'm so envious of the Fire Ox, if only I could eat fire too."

  In the stunned gaze of Shangguan Yu, that huge fire lotus was getting smaller and smaller. Huo Niu was excitedly eating, seeing Shangguan Yu's appearance, Huo Niu was even more pleased. In its view, when it finished eating the fire lotus, it would be the time of Shangguan Yu's death.

  "Hmph!"

  The fire ox let out a satisfied snort, and its gaze at Shangguan Yu was filled with disdain. It excitedly pawed the ground with its front hooves, and then its hind legs kicked back again. Looking at its posture, it seemed to be preparing for another charge.

  Shangguan Yu smiled carelessly and said, "Fire Ox, Fire Ox, originally your skin is thick and tough, I thought it would be hard to kill you. But unexpectedly you jumped into the net yourself, now it's hard for you not to die. Tonight we can eat beef, I wonder if your meat tastes good."

  The Huo Niu had already possessed a hint of spiritual intelligence. Although it couldn't understand the words spoken by Shangguan Yu, it roughly grasped their meaning. Enraged, it let out a loud bellow and charged at Shangguan Yu with its fastest speed.

  "You're all going to die, don't you know that yourself? Do you think my 'Hiren Bakuen Fist' is fake? I've already changed the flames I released, they're no longer the same as the ones you spat out before. These flames now only listen to me, explode, my Hiren!"

  Shangguan Yu had only spoken halfway when Huoniu stopped. When he finished speaking, Huoniu let out a painful bellow. However, this was also the last bellow of Huoniu's life.

  A deafening explosion, the Fire Ox's body burst open. That huge fire lotus had exploded right inside the Fire Ox's belly. Judging from how thick and rough its skin was on the outside, it was also very vulnerable to injury on the inside, let alone with an explosion in its belly?

  "This time was also lucky, if the fire cow hadn't eaten the fire lotus, I'm afraid we would have had to fight for a long time. My experience in fighting magical beasts is still very lacking. If that's the case, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage when encountering a magician? Although magicians are generally not opponents of warriors, there will always be exceptions."

  "After all, the previous law enforcers still have an advantage, so I naturally can't slack off. I hope that during this period of time, I can fight with monsters as much as possible, anyway my physical recovery ability is extremely strong. Even if it's fighting every day, I can still hold on."

  "The demonic beasts of the Death Abyss, even if you don't bother me next time, I'll still bother you. Of course, those demon beasts are also my targets. The human and demon tribes have a grudge, so I will definitely fight against the demon tribe in the future. It's good to get familiar with them early on, as preparation for later."

  Shangguan Yu picked up a few pieces of better beef, cleaned them up, and then roasted them. "Little Gui, come out! This is fire-grilled beef, it's really chewy when you eat it, do you want some?"

  Shangguan Yu had just finished speaking when Xiaogui rushed out. "Where is it? Where's the delicious braised beef that's so tender? Let me try some and see if it's good or not, I'm a professional food critic after all."

  A piece of beef was placed in front of Xiao Gui's mouth, and he immediately grabbed it with his two front paws and started gnawing on it. As he ate, he muttered, "Delicious, really delicious. Xiaoyu, eat slowly and leave some for me, I'm starving after sleeping for so long."

  Looking at Xiaogui's appearance, although he clearly knew that Xiaogui was pretending, Shangguan Yu still felt a pang of heartache. He went to find a few more large pieces of roast beef and started roasting them over the fire.

  Who knew that Little Gui was such a big eater, not only did he finish all the ones that Shangguan Yu had roasted earlier, but he even finished the few pieces that he picked up afterwards. Fortunately, Little Gui finally said he was full, and before Shangguan Yu could say anything, Little Gui went back to sleep again.

  The sky gradually darkened, and the bright moon hung in the air. Shangguan Yu once again immersed himself in his cultivation. The continuous battles had not made him feel tired, but instead made him feel more energetic. It was as if he had always yearned for battle in his heart, and fortunately, there would be no shortage of battles to come.

  The following life was indeed the same as Shangguan Yu's imagination, with at least one battle every day. There were too many demons here, and Shangguan Yu gradually adapted to it. If there was a day without a fight, he would be unaccustomed to it.

  All sorts of magical creatures, some using fire magic, some using earth magic, some using water magic, and some using wood magic. Among these magical creatures, the one that Upper Official Yu encountered was the most numerous.

  Even Shangguan Yu had encountered magical beasts that used lightning system magic before, and their attack power was extremely strong. The destructive power of lightning attacks was naturally much more severe than the other types of magic.

  However, this demon encountered Yu Shang and was considered unlucky. Yu Shang had experienced several heavenly tribulations. Although it couldn't be immune to thunder and lightning, at least its resistance to thunder and lightning was already very strong.

  Of course, the earth-type demon beasts are also extremely powerful. After all, Gao Yun's current battles are all on the ground, and the system's magic is indeed very advantageous. Just saying that making the land soft or hard is already very powerful.

  Fortunately, Shangguan Yu was very powerful and could withstand many types of attacks. Moreover, the magical beasts he encountered did not possess particularly strong magic either. If he were to encounter a powerful magical beast, Shangguan Yu would definitely be no match for it.

  Of course, the wooden monsters in the mountains are also very advantageous. They can use the surrounding plants to make those plants listen to them. However, for these, Yu Guan Yu was not afraid at all. As long as he took out the You Long Gun, with the sharpness of the You Long Gun, dealing with these would be a piece of cake?

  Those demons are probably around the Hou Ji border, for example, Xiang Yu's current realm is still a bit higher. Xiang Yu didn't have it easy either, he was injured many times along the way.

  These battles have indeed made him grow. If it were someone else, they would probably not be able to withstand it, even if their mind could handle it, their body wouldn't be able to. Fortunately, Shangguan Yu's martial will is extremely strong, and his determination to become stronger has never wavered. His physical recovery ability is also abnormal, which has allowed him to engage in prolonged battles.

  Shangguan Yu roughly calculated that in so many days, he had probably gone through a hundred battles. This high-frequency battle was indeed the most effective way to hone a warrior's skills. The current Shangguan Yu could stand there casually and launch an attack at any time.

  In the land of death, danger can be encountered anywhere and at any time, so vigilance is naturally high. Even when he was sleeping, if there was danger, he could still fight in the first moment. These are not just achieved by this one month, but also by the three years in the Yuan realm, which laid a solid foundation for today's achievements.

  "It's really strange, how come we haven't encountered any monsters for three days? It's so boring, resting for a day is comfortable, but resting for three days is too boring. If there are still no battles in the next few days, it will be unbearably boring."

  Walking in the mountain forest, Shangguan Yu complained alone. In the past when Qin Shou and others were around, they could still joke around even if there was nothing to do. Now he was alone, if there wasn't a battle, then he really had nothing to do.

  He rolled up his sleeves, and Xiang Yu carefully studied the map. "I'm probably already here, at this rate, it'll take about another month to get out of the Death Zone. But why haven't I encountered any magical beasts in the past few days?"

  He rolled up his sleeves and continued walking forward. The forest was very quiet, not even the sound of animals could be heard. He seemed to have also sensed the unusualness of this place, so he quickened his pace.

  "Roar!"

  One day later, Shangguan Yu finally heard the roar of the beast. He felt that this roar was so familiar, and his blood was boiling all over his body, it seemed that he could fight again soon.

  Shangguan Yu looked ahead and saw many, many animals. However, strangely, there wasn't a single magical beast here, but he did see several demon beasts from afar.

  "Could it be that the front is the territory of the demon beasts, and this place is the territory of the yao beasts?"
