Chapter Eleven Entering the Inner Circle
South Wilderness, infinitely close to the inner enclosure.
Ling Qingyan stood proudly with Xiao Cangyuan in his arms, wearing a long purple robe that was blown up by the wind, making a rustling sound. At this moment, at Ling Qingyan's feet lay three corpses of strange and colorful demonic beasts.
If there were a third person here at this moment, they would absolutely cry out in surprise:
"Saber-toothed tiger!"
"Spirit Fox!"
"Bikōji!"
The first two are all fifth-level demon beasts! And the "Bí Wěi Xī" behind is a sixth-level demon beast!
The Azure-tailed Rhinoceros was born with an extraordinary gift, and a mature Azure-tailed Rhinoceros could even rival the strongest warriors at the Blue-tier pinnacle. Its strength was unmatched. Yet, at this moment, the corpse of this mature "Azure-tailed Rhinoceros" lay at Ling Qingyan's feet.
It seems to be a specific rule of the Southern Wilderness, where the outer periphery is close to the inner periphery, and even at the edge of the inner periphery, there are only fifth- or sixth-level demon beasts! And yet, in such places, not many people can penetrate deeply! After all, demon beasts are born strong, and ordinary sixth-level demon beasts are already comparable to late-stage Blue Rank warriors.
As for the inner ring of Nanhuang, there are all kinds of seventh-level demon beasts. There, even the purple-level warriors on the Chongwu Continent dare not enter deeply! Seventh-level demon beasts have a body of strength comparable to that of a purple-level warrior, and some of them with extraordinary talents have already grasped some of the mysteries of the Zun level, and can be compared to the human boundary warrior.
Approximating a Critical Warrior! What kind of existence is that?!
Ximen family's Ximen Kuang, Bing Luan's softness, during the time in Moyun City, relying on the strength of a boundary warrior, he actually suppressed several top-tier powers in the southern region of Chongwu Continent, making it difficult for their high-ranking officials to breathe, and easily obtained the "Yong Huang Dian"!
This is the Quasi-Sage! The strongest warrior under the Sage level!
Ling Qingyan walked along the road, and the deeper he went, the more astonished he became. The outermost part of this southern wilderness was all barren hills and sandy soil, making it extremely difficult to conceal one's figure, and humans had too many limitations on their hiding places. However, at the end of this outermost part, although it was still a world of yellow dust and sand, there were plants everywhere, all of which were able to survive in dry environments. Ling Qingyan suddenly discovered that except for those "cacti" that could grow in the desert like in his previous life, he didn't recognize any other trees or flowers.
"This Azure-tailed Rhinoceros is indeed powerful! I didn't expect that, previously when I hadn't used my physical strength, I ended up at a slight disadvantage," Ling Qingyan sighed, looking down at the Azure-tailed Rhinoceros corpse beneath his feet.
Earlier, the first to jump out and attack Ling Qingyan were the Sword-toothed Tiger and the Soul-eating Fox, both of which were fifth-level demon beasts. With the help of his Ghostly Longsword and his Cyan-grade True Power, Ling Qingyan easily killed them off. However, following those two fifth-level demon beasts, another sixth-level demon beast, the "Azure-tailed Rhinoceros", suddenly appeared!
At first, Ling Qingyan relied on his own amplified true strength, comparable to the peak of blue rank, and didn't use any sword techniques. However, that attack made Biwei Xī dodge hastily, and in the instant Biwei Xī dodged, he suddenly counterattacked, and Biwei Xī's horn almost collided with him!
This rhinoceros may look clumsy, but it's actually quite fast!
However, even seeing that situation, Ling Qingyan still didn't use any sword techniques, directly bursting out all his physical strength, the speed of the sword increased dramatically, and in the instant when Bì Wěi Xī dodged, he stabbed its head!
A physical strength comparable to that of a fifth-grade demonic beast, combined with the attack power of a blue-grade top-tier warrior amplified by the Yōmei Long Sword, is absolutely unparalleled!
According to the records, these six-level demon beasts have already nurtured their inner elixir from the beginning. Ling Qingyan's heart moved, and he squatted down, his hand holding the Youming Long Sword, which danced with a sword flower, directly bursting open on Bitui Xi's head.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Extremely skillful, only to see the head of the Biwei Xini completely split open, with blood threads all over it, and in the center of the blood threads, a dark-colored dan-like object was quietly placed.
Ling Qing's eyes lit up as soon as she recognized that it was the inner elixir of the demon beast, and her face showed joy. She was just about to reach out to pick it up...
"Whoosh!"
A black and white figure suddenly darted out from Ling Qingyan's arms, pounced onto Bì Wěi Xī's head! In the blink of an eye, the figure returned to Ling Qingyan's arms. It was that little Tibetan Mastiff, who had swallowed Bì Wěi Xī's internal elixir before Ling Qingyan could react!
Seeing this, Ling Qingyan couldn't help but smile wryly. This little Tibetan Mastiff was too impatient, earlier he wanted the inner elixir precisely to give it to him to take.
The survival law of high-level demon beasts on the mainland is to plunder their inner dan. Generally, sixth-level demon beasts have already nurtured their inner dan in their heads, and the struggle between sixth-level demon beasts is mostly for the purpose of plundering each other's inner dan! The inner dan can promote the evolution of demon beasts.
An ordinary sixth-grade demon beast, if it has multiple six-grade demon beasts' inner elixirs to consume, only needs a few years of time to digest, and it may break through and evolve into a seventh-grade demon beast! Even if it can't evolve, its strength will be further enhanced, directly reaching the peak level of a sixth-grade demon beast!
The preciousness of inner elixir can thus be known.
"Let's go, little guy!"
Hugging the small Tibetan Mastiff, Ling Qingyan was about to smile and continue advancing towards the inner enclosure when his face suddenly stiffened, and he glanced around with a hint of vigilance.
All around, in the sandy soil behind the dense forest, several strange beasts were lurking.
Most of these demonic beasts were fifth-grade, and there were only a few sixth-grade ones. These demonic beasts had all been attracted by the bloody smell emanating from the three demonic beasts killed by Ling Qingyan on the ground! And at this time, they seemed to know that Ling Qingyan was not easy to mess with, so they did not make any moves for the time being!
Fifth and sixth-grade demon beasts had already roughly understood human nature. When they saw the three demon beast corpses under the human's feet in the distance, they had already guessed at the human's strength!
"Since they're not coming over, I'll just leave," Ling Qingyan smiled and didn't think much of it, continuing on his way.
Not long after Ling Qingyan left, the several fifth-grade demon beasts that had been lurking in ambush pounced on the corpse of the Biwei Xī and began to devour it. For ordinary demon beasts, their bodies were where their true essence lay. Of course, this did not apply to sixth- or seventh-grade demon beasts, as they had already developed internal elixirs, which were far more valuable than their physical bodies.
And these few fifth-grade demon beasts, the body of sixth-grade demon beast Biwei Xī is absolutely a great tonic for them!
………
Ling Qingyan brought Xiao Cangao, treading on the yellow sand of the vegetation outside the southern wilderness, and directly entered the inner circle of the southern wilderness.
With the hint of Xiao Cangao, Ling Qingyan already knew that their destination was approaching, and for a moment, he was also full of smiles. On the way here, Ling Qingyan had also thought deeply again, combining Xiao Cangao's sad emotions, and thought that the place Xiao Cangao took him to should not be some kind of treasure trove.
However, the journey so far has been for that place alone, and whether or not there is treasure is no longer important to Ling Qingyan at this moment. What he needs to do most now is to reach the source of the small Tibetan mastiff's sorrow as soon as possible!
He also wanted to know why Xia Cangjiao was so sad and what he was grieving about.
What is it that the little Tibetan Mastiff wants to take with him wherever he goes?
