63: One breath, three thousand five hundred turns

Some of them had paid attention to the news.

But at that time, Yuan Hong was still merely a Golden Armor Fire Ape.

However, what they saw now was not a Golden Armor Fire Ape, but a completely different appearance!

Could this be Li Yao's new beast?

No!

Even for him, it had only been about two weeks since he contracted his last beast.

He would have to wait at least a month to contract another beast!

Now the problem was, wasn't Li Yao's beast a Golden Armor Fire Ape?

Although this beast also looked like a monkey.

Its appearance had changed a bit too much, hadn't it?

Suddenly, someone seemed to have thought of something, making a bold guess.

"Do you think Young Master Li has researched a new evolution path for the Golden Armor Fire Ape again?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent after hearing this person's words.

If so, this Young Master Li was truly terrifying.

However, they were also very much looking forward to it.

Of course, as King-Level Beast Masters, they still had a bit of pride.

They didn't secretly follow Li Yao, or directly go up and fawn over him.

On Blue Star, being able to become a King-Level Beast Master was already considered extraordinarily talented.

After leaving the somewhat noisy safe zone, Li Yao sat on Yuan Hong's shoulder.

Why walk when you can sit?

[Master, where are we going now?]

"Let's take a stroll around the periphery. If we see any King-level Exotic Beasts, we'll directly eliminate them."

As for why he wasn't going into the center of Qingqiu Mountain, Li Yao had a clear understanding of his limits.

His strength was only that of a King-Level Beast Master. With this strength, he was barely adequate for the periphery.

But if he entered the inner reaches of Qingqiu Mountain, encountering even one Saint-Rank Beast would make escaping a problem.

So he wouldn't foolishly run into the inner area.

Isn't it more satisfying to bully King-level Exotic Beasts in the outer region?

Stealthy development is the way of the King!

[Okay, Master!]

[Leave everything to me!]

Yuan Hong pounded his chest, letting out a thunderous sound.

It must be said that after Yuan Hong's evolution, his strength truly underwent a qualitative improvement.

Among other things, even if he encountered a King-level Exotic Beast, it's unlikely it would truly be Yuan Hong's match.

Even a King Level Tier 9 exotic beast would be the same.

Quality not only represents potential but also combat power.

In the Universe, how many Mythic-grade beasts are there?

Li Yao knew that, including Yuan Hong, there were probably only ten.

If Li Zun returned and successfully obtained the netherworld heart, he could indeed be upgraded to Mythic-grade quality.

Soon, Li Yao and Yuan Hong left the safe zone.

Outside the safe zone, if one was unlucky, they could encounter King-level Exotic Beasts at any time.

What was strange was why the periphery of a Heaven-Rank Secret Realm only had King-level Exotic Beasts, and no weaker quality ones, such as their offspring!

Perhaps this mystery still awaited a solution.

[Master, something's happening!]

Just then, Yuan Hong sensed something with his keen perception.

"Hmm? Something's happening?"

Li Yao glanced at the surrounding environment and found nothing unusual.

However, Yuan Hong was extraordinary.

As a Long-Armed Ape, his abilities were supernatural.

He could grasp the sun and moon, shrink mountains, discern good and ill fortune, and manipulate the cosmos.

Among them, the ability to discern good and ill fortune allowed him to perceive the quality of things.

Now that Yuan Hong sensed something, it was naturally this ability at work.

So Li Yao immediately became alert. In a place where King-level Exotic Beasts roamed everywhere, if one wasn't careful, they wouldn't even know how they died.

Yuan Hong's ears twitched, as if he detected something rapidly approaching.

He grabbed the Gatling and aimed it in that direction, pulling the trigger!

The Gatling began to spin rapidly, and the technologically advanced Gatling started absorbing Yuan Hong's internal power.

The next second, Yin and Yang colored bullets sprayed directly from the Gatling.

Three thousand five hundred revolutions in a breath, sweeping through everything in its path, trees were directly cut down!

It's important to know that although the trees on the outskirts of Qingqiu Mountain were a bit short, they were still over two hundred meters tall!

But, under the pull of the Gatling's trigger, everything seemed to return to equality.

Owoo!!!

A mournful beast roar echoed, clearly an exotic beast, unaware of what was happening, had been hit.

And the sound was a bit tragic, but it sounded like it was only hit once and not killed.

Thump...

The sound of falling trees echoed one after another, and the exotic beast's screams also vanished.

However, Yuan Hong sniffed out the scent of blood.

[Master, hold on tight!]

Upon hearing this, Li Yao immediately grabbed Yuan Hong's fur, preventing himself from being flung off when Yuan Hong accelerated his run.

Yuan Hong ran very fast; even with the Gatling in his hand, he was still as swift as a flying bird.

He leaped up onto the large trees, jumping back and forth among them.

He truly lived up to being a monkey.

His speed leaping through the trees was more than double his speed when galloping on the ground.

Soon, following the scent of blood, Yuan Hong found the exotic beast he had injured.

However, looking at the beast's exterior, it didn't seem to be injured, but its posture looked a bit strange.

But if it wasn't injured, why was there such a strong smell of blood coming from it?

"Hmm?" Just then, Li Yao saw the injured part of this exotic beast.

Well, the location was a bit awkward; it seemed that this strike had hit the exotic beast's 'Place of Five Grains and Reincarnation'.

No wonder this exotic beast was running with its tail between its legs even when fleeing for its life.

Li Yao immediately clicked to view the information of this exotic beast.

Species: Lightning Red-tailed Poison Wolf

Quality: Epic

Strength: King-level Tier 7

Skills: Electric Light Poison Wolf Drill, Source of Plague, Power of Lightning, Swift Thunder Fang...

Weaknesses: Place of Five Grains and Reincarnation, Eyeballs, Belly

Hidden Evolution Plan: ...

So this was a Lightning Red-tailed Poison Wolf. Its whole body, apart from its reddish tail, was a mix of blue and green.

Li Yao remembered seeing the Lightning Red-tailed Poison Wolf in books.

During the exotic beast invasion frenzy, the Lightning Red-tailed Poison Wolf was extremely difficult to deal with because it possessed lightning talent, making its power quite terrifying among King-level Exotic Beasts. Furthermore, while the Source of Plague was negligible for beings of the same Rank, it was deadly for those below King-Rank.

Decades ago, during the exotic beast invasion frenzy, the Lightning Red-tailed Poison Wolf once achieved a terrifying record of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people.

Perhaps not all of these people were killed by the Lightning Red-tailed Poison Wolf itself.

But, they basically all died from the plague it carried.

Li Yao thought back carefully; that incident seemed to have happened in the neighboring Little Sakura Country.
