129: Mysterious beast! Fox King!

Due to his unfamiliarity with this world, and the villagers of Li Family Village being mere mortals, Chen De knew very little about many things, only common knowledge that was widely available.

Truly useful information was almost nonexistent.

Therefore, Chen De randomly picked a direction and started devouring, going wherever he ended up.

He also searched the memories of the Mystic Beasts he devoured to gather more intelligence.

Chen De was not foolish; in the beginning, he only had the strength of a Half-step Demon Origin Realm practitioner.

He certainly couldn't immediately go after powerful targets.

So, Chen De's idea was to start with the weaker ones first.

He would slowly recover his strength, devouring his way up little by little.

No matter what, he had to recover his strength first.

Once his strength was restored, Chen De would then think of a way to return to the Four Profound Heavens.

Actually, Chen De wasn't without a way to directly return to the Four Profound Heavens right now.

It was simple: commit suicide.

Chen De had left three revival opportunities in the Four Profound Heavens.

As soon as Chen De died here, he could immediately revive in the Four Profound Heavens.

However, Chen De didn't want to do that just yet.

Because not only would it consume one revival opportunity, but Chen De also wanted to explore this world further.

So, Chen De decided not to go back for now.

Thus, Chen De immediately began to act.

Chen De was incredibly efficient, wiping out a small forest in no time.

After the Mystic Beasts in the first forest were devoured by Chen De, his cultivation recovered to Demon Origin Realm Sixth Stage.

After the Mystic Beasts in the second forest were devoured by Chen De, his cultivation recovered to Demon Origin Realm Ninth Stage.

...

At first, when Chen De's cultivation was lower, the speed of his devouring was very slow.

Later, Chen De's devouring speed became faster and faster.

The time spent in a forest was mostly consumed by searching for Mystic Beasts.

Even when Chen De used his old method of controlling high-level Mystic Beasts to gather others.

Still, the time spent searching for Mystic Beasts accounted for the majority.

Just like that, Chen De didn't know how many forests' Mystic Beasts he had devoured.

Chen De's cultivation had already recovered to Demon Transformation Realm Third Stage.

This cultivation was already not low, but the quality of the Mystic Beasts here was too poor, providing very little for Chen De after being devoured.

Chen De could only continue to work harder, striving to recover his cultivation within the next few days.

...

Although Chen De's devouring activities over the past few days were very secretive.

But so many forests being emptied like that absolutely could not be concealed for long.

Just like in Tianfeng City, no matter how seamlessly Chen De acted, it was all in vain.

In this world, if many people suddenly died, perhaps no one would care.

But if many people suddenly disappeared, then some people would care a great deal.

So, when Chen De took action, he still left some clues.

For example, Chen De deliberately didn't devour some Mystic Beast corpses.

He even intentionally scattered them everywhere, making it seem like many Mystic Beasts had died here, rather than many having disappeared.

This was not to conceal anything, but to delay something.

Before his strength truly reached a certain level, Chen De was still reluctant to contend with the high-end combat forces of this world.

Feeling the power of Demon Transformation Realm Third Stage within him.

Chen De couldn't estimate what kind of rank his strength would be in this world.

He had only devoured low-level Mystic Beasts, and the data from them had no reference value for Chen De.

Of course, the most crucial point was that the power system of this world was extremely uncoordinated.

It was as if it was crudely made, full of inconsistencies compared to the system of the Four Profound Heavens.

The most direct manifestation was that the data from one realm had no reference value for the next realm.

It was far from the Four Profound Heavens' system, which was interconnected and complete.

A step in a lower realm had a great connection to a step in a higher realm.

Every realm had its reason for existing, not just randomly added.

But this world's system felt like Chen De was taking one step at a time.

As if whenever an idea came to mind, regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, it was just directly added.

This made it impossible for Chen De to make accurate judgments about each realm.

Whenever Chen De calculated what he thought was correct data, he would be harshly slapped by reality.

Also, according to the memories Chen De obtained from the Mystic Beasts.

The Mystic Beasts in this world were not called Mystic Beasts, but Xuan Beasts.

However, Chen De was accustomed to calling them Mystic Beasts and was too lazy to change it back.

It was just a name, and Chen De didn't care much about it.

Mainly, Chen De was more interested in the system of this world.

Exploring it would do Chen De no harm.

It seemed that many things still needed Chen De to personally verify them.

Chen De thought to himself while devouring.

...

"What?"

"Many forests have had a large number of Xuan Beasts die?"

"When did this happen?"

A human-shaped, eerie man looked at the fox demon in front of him.

This eerie man was naturally not a true human, but a transformed Great Demon.

On the Xuanzhe Continent, Xuan Beasts that reached the Profound King Realm could transform.

In other words, the eerie man in front of him was at least a Xuan King-level Xuan Beast.

Hearing the Fox King's question, the fox demon quickly told him everything he knew,

"Reporting to Great King, it was reported by the little demons below, and I don't know much either.

But according to what the little demon said, a few days ago, he was out doing something and happened to pass by a forest.

When he passed by there, he found that there was no sound at all in the forest.

As he gradually moved, he slowly discovered many dismembered limbs of Xuan Beasts, as if someone had deliberately taken them apart.

Then, as he went deeper and deeper, he found that the entire forest had no living Xuan Beasts left.

Therefore, he became more and more frightened as he walked.

Later, he even discovered that the forests with such tragic conditions, and all the forests near them, had almost all become like this.

This discovery almost scared that little demon silly.

He couldn't even finish his task and rushed back to report.

This matter, please Great King make a decision."

After hearing this, the Fox King's eyes also flashed with a strange light.

He could also do such things, so he was not very afraid.

What he wanted to know more was the purpose of the other party doing these things.

What exactly did the other party want to do?

Could it be aimed at him?

Among the several Great Demons in the vicinity, the affected forests were closest to his territory.

These matters made him unable to not worry.

Of course, he was not afraid.

It was simple: if it was truly aimed at him, and the opponent was stronger than him, they would have come directly to his door long ago.

If the opponent was not as strong as him, then there was no need to worry too much, because he could remain unperturbed.

If it wasn't aimed at him, then there was even less need to worry.

After pondering for a moment, the Fox King spoke,

"..."
