Chapter 67: Controlling Demonic Beasts?

Xiao Chen took long strides in the direction of the cry, toward the east side of camp. . As he came closer, the mournful cries grew louder. When he was about 400 meters away from the source of the sound, Xiao Chen stopped.

He condensed his Spiritual Sense into a column and extended it out in front slowly. When it reached 200 meters, Xiao Chen could feel his Spiritual Sense being blocked by something.

“Pu Ci!”

Xiao Chen concentrated and fas.h.i.+oned his Spiritual Sense into the shape of a sword, slowly piercing through the barrier preventing it to go further. After a period of time, his Spiritual Sense finally arrived at the origin of the sound.

In the groove ahead, there was a Martial Grand Master wearing the Tang Clan attire lying on the ground. In front of him was a huge black bird, gorging itself on his internal organs.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly and looked up; there was a dark human figure floating in the air. He was darker than night, and his being gave off a feeling that was as deep and wicked as a black hole.

Although it was incredibly strange, Xiao Chen could sense a feeling of extreme weakness coming from the person’s body; he should be severely injured.

“After hiding for three days, I finally found him,” Xiao Chen heard the dark figure laughing and muttering to himself. The laughter in the black of night sounded like it came from h.e.l.l, and was exceptionally gloomy.

Suddenly, a black Qi came from the body of the cultivator on the ground and entered into the other’s body. An expression of extreme pleasure appeared on his face. It was as though he could taste a delicacy as that strange bird fed on the internal organs.

Even Xiao Chen could feel it when the wounds on the dark figure’s body began significantly recovering as the black Qi entered them. He actually relied on the consumption of human internal organs to recover his wounds; it was truly unbelievable.

When that black Qi dispersed, the Tang Clan cultivator on the ground no longer made any sounds. The huge black bird flew to the feet of dark figure with a ‘shua’ sound.

Xiao Chen was very startled; he was sure that this huge bird was a Demonic Beast. This person could actually ride on a Demonic Beast. This was something he had never heard of before.

“I originally thought that certain death awaited me; who knew that I would run into this nourishment. How unexpected for this king,” the man smiled, feeling pleased with himself as he stood on that huge bird.

Suddenly, his complexion changed. He stared at Xiao Chen’s column of Spiritual Sense. His eyes gave off a deep glow, and it was as though he could see through Xiao Chen’s formless Spiritual Sense.

Xiao Chen quickly caused his Spiritual Sense to turn into a small sword and hide behind a huge tree, sneakily observing the person.

After the man saw Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense it seemed as though he remembered something horrifying; a terrified expression crossed his face. Riding on the demonic bird, he fled as though he was in a sorry state.

It was extremely fast, like a bolt of black lightning, leaving behind countless dark streaks in the forest. He managed to instantly leave the range that Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense could observe.

Xiao Chen did not dare to advance rashly; he slowly approached the dead Tang Clan cultivator only after the man was long gone. His state was exactly the same as the other two corpses they had found. From the looks of it, they had died while the bird fed on them.

This person was able to easily kill three Martial Grand Masters despite his severely injured state. What terrifying realm was he at? Xiao Chen felt afraid just thinking about it.

Regardless of the situation, this strange man had helped Xiao Chen indirectly remove some trouble. If the three Martial Grand Masters had appeared to kill Xiao Chen and his compatriots, they would not have survived.

Recollecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen ignored the body on the ground and quickly returned to the camp. Xiao Chen temporarily hid this matter from Xiao Yulan when she interrogated him.

He felt the matter was extremely strange. To think that there was actually someone who could control Demonic Beasts. Before he clarified this, Xiao Chen decided to temporarily not tell the others.

Around midnight the two of them called someone over to take over their s.h.i.+ft. After resting for four hours, the sky had already brightened. Of course, within the Gloomy Forest, it was still dark and gloomy. The visibility was no better than when it was night. However, at least it was not as cold as it was at night.

Xiao Chen moved around his left arm, with the Blood Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill he felt that there was no longer any major problems with it. Essence was not able to flow smoothly, but it was best not to make any excessive movements for the time being.

The other people in the wooden hut were still sleeping. As there was no sunlight to s.h.i.+ne into the wooden hut to wake them up, they were all fast asleep. Thus, Xiao Chen woke everyone up himself.

After they finished was.h.i.+ng up, they started to a.s.sign people to groups.

When they were split into groups, Xiao Ling`er indicated that she wanted to be in Xiao Chen’s group. There were even a few others who expressed the same thoughts.

This caused Xiao Chen to feel a headache. Finally, he decided to merge Xiao Yulan’s and Xiao Jian’s group together. This way, the strength of the two groups would be similar.

In the end, Xiao Ling`er was still a.s.signed to Xiao Chen’s group. Xiao Chen led four people and headed toward the south. He decided to start off with Fire Lizards.

This was because he had already killed quite a few, and had some experience with them. He released his Spiritual Sense and soon managed to find a Fire Lizard on the top of a large tree.

“Wait here first,” Xiao Chen called out, and had the group stop.

“Brother Xiao Chen, why are we stopping? Is there a Demonic Beast? Where is it?” Xiao Ling`er asked in a bizarre manner, her eyes looking all around, searching her surroundings.

Xiao Chen smiled, “Stop looking for it, it’s right above you.”

Xiao Ling`er was startled when she heard this and retreated backwards a few steps. Xiao Chen raised his head and saw that the tree branches were crisscrossing in a complex manner, causing the sky to be hidden and looking very mysterious.

This was Gloomy Forest. Aside from dangers coming from around you, one must also pay attention to what’s above. Xiao Chen’s smile faded away as he opened his mouth to say, “All of you, take a step back.”
