”What if we meet a demon beast?”

”Senior Brother, are you trying to tease me again?”

”I'm not going!”

Not only was Fu Yun not angry, he was actually more and more satisfied with how careful and cautious Tian Ci was.

”It's not a demon beast. It's a strange beast.”

”I guarantee that I absolutely won't tease you this time. Quickly go, it will be beneficial for you!”

He had heard of demonic beasts, but had never had the chance to see one.

In the past when he walked through the big cities, small towns, and mountain villages, he would often hear people talking about demon beasts attacking the mountain villages. Whenever someone mentioned demon beasts, he would listen very seriously and when he was free, he would ask his senior about demon beasts.

When hunting in the mountains, he would often come into contact with small animals and had a special interest in the monsters in the mountains. When people talked about the brutality of demon beasts, he was always on guard against attacks from demon beasts.

They often walked by the river, so how could they not have wet shoes?

Traveling in the martial world, crossing rivers and mountains for five to six years, how could he not meet any demonic beasts? The reason he could not see them was all because of Fu Yun's secret attacks, which frightened those demonic beasts so much that they did not dare to approach him.

Strange beast?

He had never heard of or seen anything like it. If it wasn't for his senior brother mentioning it, he probably wouldn't have known about it for the rest of his life.

Suddenly hearing his senior brother mention it, he became extremely interested in the strange beasts. He seemed to have forgotten on purpose that his senior brother had asked him to enter the forest to investigate.

”Senior brother, what is a beast?”

”Why didn't I hear you mention it before?”

In the thousands of years since the last war with the demons, the beasts had disappeared without a trace.

Thousands of years had passed, and the world had changed. Mortals, cultivators, and new generations had all replaced the old. Aside from the records of the various sects, almost no one knew about the existence of strange beasts.

It was only natural that Heaven's Gift had not been mentioned before.

”Strange beasts. They are special existences within monstrous beasts. They have very high intelligence and are born with special abilities.”

The strange beasts had intelligence and special abilities. When the demonic beasts cultivated to a certain level, they would have the same wisdom and special abilities as the demonic beasts.

”Senior Brother, demonic beasts have very high intelligence and special abilities. They're not much different from each other!”

If they could be called strange beasts, then how could they be comparable to those demon beasts?

”Strange beasts are blessed by the heavens. From the moment they were born, they had a very high intelligence, and their special abilities were brought to them by innate experts. However, demonic beasts are different, and they relied on cultivation after birth.”

”Not only that, the cultivation speed of strange beasts is faster than that of demon beasts. Without any surprises, strange beasts are also the existences that could easily evolve into divine beasts.”

As long as there were no problems with his cultivation, Fuyun's lecture would be extremely serious and careful.

Of course, Heaven's Gift had a very strong interest in demonic beasts, and it was also very curious about strange beasts. It was completely focused and did not want to miss a single detail.

”Senior brother, are there really strange beasts in the forest?”

There really were strange beasts in the forest. Of course, Blessing didn't want to miss the chance to watch them.

In fact, if he did not mention the strange beasts, he would still enter the forest to investigate.

Because he had only heard of how powerful and savage the demon beasts were, he had never had the chance to meet them. Thus, he wanted to see exactly how powerful and fierce they were, even if it was only a glance from afar.

”When did Senior Brother lie to you?”

If his Senior Brother was so shameless, he would directly filter it out.

Although his Senior Brother often teased him, he had never hurt himself. Out of curiosity towards the demon beasts, regardless of whether his Senior Brother lied to him, he still entered the forest to take a look.

”Then I'll go take a look!”

Receiving the approval of his senior brother, he excitedly followed the source of the scream and soon found a cave. It was the source of the scream.

From afar, the cave was very dark, so he could not clearly see the situation inside. He heard that the monsters were very savage and loved to eat people. He was somewhat worried, and did not dare to rashly approach the cave.

The screams never stopped. He had been waiting for a long time, but when he saw that no strange beasts had appeared, he mustered his courage and approached the cave to take a better look.

”… …”

Boars are social animals, three or five of them live together.

Strangely, there was only one wild boar in the cave, and it was even a pregnant wild boar. The scream came from this wild boar, but no other wild boar existed.

A few nights ago, the wolves attacked the three wild boars that lived with him. In order to protect him, the three wild boars were surrounded and killed, leaving him wounded behind. They fled back to the cave alone, waiting for the baby to be born.

For a few days, fearing danger, he only dared to come out during the day and search for food near the cave.

Today, when he was about to go out and look for food, his stomach suddenly hurt so much that he had to go back to the grass and wait for the baby to be born.

It had given birth several times, and each time it had gone smoothly. Each time, it was able to give birth to a few children. Only this time, it had encountered a great deal of trouble.

Outside of the cave, there was very little food. There wasn't enough to eat, so its body had lost a lot of weight. It was quite strenuous during the process of production.

The child kept making a ruckus in his stomach, refusing to be born. It caused him a great deal of pain, constantly crying out in pain.
