39: Chapter 39: Demonic Beast Inner Pill

Wang Bin watched with his own eyes as the group of fierce Yao Beasts, like a surging black tide, galloped towards White Cloud City.

Wherever they passed, sand and stones flew, the earth trembled slightly under their heavy footsteps, and their earth-shattering roars seemed like the prelude to death.

Wang Bin hid in the stealth Formation, his heart filled with helplessness, not daring to even breathe.

He knew clearly that if it weren't for the sufficient distance between them, if he hadn't happened to be in this stealth Formation, if the Divine Sense detection range of Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts was only a few hundred meters, and if these Yao Beasts' attention was entirely on chasing Chen Fei and others instead of on him, he would have been discovered long ago.

Once discovered, he would probably have already become sustenance in the belly of a Yao Beast, without even a sliver of a chance to resist.

Time slowly passed in this suffocatingly tense atmosphere, and even after the surroundings became completely quiet, Wang Bin still dared not make any rash moves.

He patiently waited for another fifteen minutes, and after repeatedly confirming there was no movement, he cautiously emerged from the stealth Formation.

At this moment, Wang Bin was burning with anxiety; his mind was completely focused on rushing back to White Cloud City to take his women away.

Although he didn't love Qin Wenjun and the other women to the point of being engraved in his bones, two years of companionship had fostered deep feelings between them.

Those days of living together and intimate exchanges were embedded in his memory like precious jewels.

It was only regrettable that they had not yet borne him a single child.

However, the current predicament made him feel utterly desperate.

The direction to White Cloud City was full of wolf-like Yao Beasts; if he rashly followed them, it would undoubtedly be a suicide mission.

Wang Bin forced himself to calm down, knowing that White Cloud City should still be safe for now.

After all, there was a second-tier mountain protection Formation established by the Four Seas Commerce League, and there was also a second-tier Spiritual Vein at the foot of the mountain continuously providing energy for the Formation.

Without special means, these Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts would not be able to break through that Formation in a short time.

Moreover, he had given a Formation Flag to Huang Youcai when he left, and if danger arose, it should not be a problem for Huang Youcai to activate the Formation.

And since his wife and child were in White Cloud City, he believed Huang Youcai would not easily abandon the city and flee.

It seemed the only option was to take a long detour back to White Cloud City.

But even so, he wasn't entirely confident he could get back in time.

Wang Bin felt bitter in his heart; his strength was so low that if his Dao Companions unfortunately perished at the hands of the Yao Beasts, he could only find a way to avenge them in the future.

No matter what, he would not choose suicide; he had to live, for those who had passed away, and for himself.

Just as he was about to fly in the opposite direction from where the Yao Beasts had departed, suddenly, a muffled 'thud' broke the silence, a sound like a dull clap of thunder, followed by a violent shaking of the entire ground, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

Wang Bin was greatly startled by this sudden change; he quickly summoned his shield and turned his head, looking nervous.

It turned out that the Yi Wood Azure Spirit Formation set up by Liu Xue had been breached, and the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations distorted the air.

Wang Bin was startled, and without even observing the specific situation inside, he turned, raised his shield, and fled wildly into the distance on his Flying Sword.

It wasn't until he had flown several miles away that he suddenly came to his senses.

He seemed to have buried a Lei Sha Pearl in that Formation, right? Could it be that the Yao Beast trapped inside accidentally attacked the Lei Sha Pearl, causing it to explode, not only killing the Yao Beast inside but also destroying the Formation?

The more Wang Bin thought about it, the more he felt this possibility was high; at this moment, seeing no movement behind him, his fear gradually subsided.

After some hesitation, his curiosity got the better of him, so he cautiously turned around and slowly flew towards the valley.

When he returned to the valley, the sight before him made him gasp.

The entire valley was a mess, as if it had suffered a catastrophic disaster.

A huge crater appeared in the center of the valley, and the surrounding trees were blown helter-skelter, with wood chips and dust filling the air, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Amidst this wreckage, two enormous Yao Beasts lay prostrate; upon closer inspection, they were precisely the Black Bear and a giant snake.

Presumably, these two Yao Beasts were too eager in their pursuit and didn't notice the existence of the Formation, crashing right into it, getting trapped, and unfortunately taking the full force of the Lei Sha Pearl's attack.

Trapped in the Formation and unable to escape, these two Yao Beasts, even if not dead, were probably crippled.

Wang Bin still dared not approach rashly; he cautiously used his Divine Sense to thoroughly examine the two Yao Beasts from a distance.

The snake had already been blasted to death; its originally tens of meters long body was blown into several sections, but its skin was exceptionally tough, which prevented the entire snake body from completely breaking into multiple pieces, but at this point, it had no Aura left.

Looking at the Black Bear, although he had thick skin and flesh, he was also blasted to the brink of death, covered in blood, with wisps of black smoke still rising from his wounds.

Wang Bin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to risk collecting the corpses.

After all, there were many valuable things on the bodies of these two second-tier Yao Beasts; it would be too much of a pity to just give up on them.

He took a deep breath, gathered his Qi, and cast the Wood Spike Technique, repeatedly stabbing the Black Bear's wounds.

The Black Bear's body trembled violently a few times, letting out a few low roars, and then became motionless.

Wang Bin was still a bit uneasy, so he controlled his Flying Sword to stab his head and eyes a few more times; seeing no reaction, he finally felt completely relieved.

He hurried over and quickly put all the useful parts of the two Yao Beast corpses into his Storage Pouch.

But as he was packing, he realized his Storage Pouch was too small, only ten cubic meters, completely unable to hold the entire bodies of the two Yao Beasts.

However, while cleaning up the Black Bear's corpse, he discovered a Demonic Core inside his body.

It seemed this Black Bear was also exceptionally talented; he must have been born with some powerful innate skill to have cultivated a Demonic Core.

Wang Bin glanced at the Demonic Core and knew it was a rare good item, but the situation was urgent now, and he didn't have time to study it carefully, so he directly put the Demonic Core into his Storage Pouch.

Looking at the large portion of Demon Beast Meat remaining on the ground, his heart was filled with regret.

Fortunately, he had taken the four bear paws and some of the tender parts of the meat; the rest simply wouldn't fit. Wang Bin gritted his teeth and reluctantly turned to leave.

He secretly vowed that next time he would buy several more Storage Pouches to carry with him; this time was truly too wasteful, discarding so much second-tier Demon Beast Meat was simply squandering natural resources.

Wang Bin continued to travel in the opposite direction; he no longer dared to fly on his Flying Sword, fearing that the Aura he emitted would attract other Yao Beasts.

He ran at high speed through the tall and dense forest, proceeding cautiously all the way, trying to conceal his Aura as much as possible.

After going another dozen miles, the surroundings were still very quiet, and not a single Yao Beast was seen.

It seemed those Yao Beasts had all gone towards White Cloud City. Wang Bin couldn't help but worry, sighing to himself:

"Alas! I hope West Sea City can get the news soon and send people to rescue them! Otherwise, White Cloud City will be in danger.

I also don't know what good things Yin Chengmu and the others stole in there to make all the Yao Beasts pursue them relentlessly."
