Chapter 1106: 1106

Boundless mountains stretched far into the horizon and high into the sky . Rivers cut through them, winding through the land . The occasional roar of a Magical Beast sent birds flying in flocks .

A man and a woman were standing at the peak of a tall mountain . They were Long Chen and Meng Qi .

Long Chen looked at the map in his hands in accordance with the terrain below . “Once we’re past the river ahead of us, there should be many Magical Beasts around . The Elder Hall Master said that there was some special ore underground that creates a magnetic field here, and it is very helpful to a Magical Beast’s cultivation . This place is like a natural Spirit Gathering Formation for Magical Beasts . So despite there being countless battles between them, they still stay here . And more surrounding Magical Beasts are constantly drawn over, wanting to occupy some territory here . ”

“That’s similar to us . Didn’t we also charge our way into the Central Plains in hopes of establis.h.i.+ng a foothold?” laughed Meng Qi .

“Your comparison really is accurate . In truth, when it comes to the weak being prey to the strong, the human cultivator world is much crueler than the Magical Beast world . Although the battles between Magical Beasts are b.l.o.o.d.y and berserk, the danger can be seen on the surface, and there’s still a chance to hide . But human cultivators scheme, killing people silently . Many people don’t even realize how they died even as it happens . So the struggle of Magical Beasts is always open, and Magical Beasts that form packs never betray each other . As for humans? Hehe, betrayal is a common occurrence . ” Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh emotionally . “Come on, let’s go . ”

Long Chen pulled Meng Qi’s hand as they slowly flew ahead . As they crossed over the wide river, Meng Qi couldn’t help but reminisce . “Last time in the Spirit World, you led me into the stomach of a fish to escape a calamity . I wonder if this time we’ll be even more miserable . ”

Thinking of their time in the Spirit World, both of their hearts warmed . Sometimes, memories were the most precious wealth .

“Last time was just an accident . It definitely won’t happen again . ” Long Chen patted his chest confidently .

BOOM!

Just as he had spoken, waves exploded out of the river below . A large mouth shot toward the two of them .

It was a three-thousand-meter fish . It had a thin body like a ribbonfish, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth . From its aura, it should be a mid eighth rank Magical Beast .

Long Chen pointed a finger and a lightning arrow pierced its head . It instantly died .

“How about I treat you to some roast fish?” Long Chen smiled .

Meng Qi hastily shook her head . “No, this Ghost Toothed Eel eats rotting Magical Beasts . It only eats rotten flesh, so its own flesh is disgusting too . ”

“Ah, is that so? Gross . ” Long Chen directly tossed it into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, allowing the black soil to devour it .

The primal chaos s.p.a.ce had expanded after he had advanced to Foundation Forging . He had filled it with the seeds of Iron Spruce Oaks, but right now, they had only grown to around thirty meters .

The old Iron Spruce Oaks hadn’t even reached their peak yet, but he had planted so many more . Their growth was exceedingly slow now, but he was helpless to do anything about it .

To make them grow faster would require mountains of Magical Beast corpses, and high ranking ones at that . Magical Beast corpses below the seventh rank were essentially ineffective .

“How curious . Why would this idiot fish want to eat us? To its huge body, we aren’t even two sesame seeds,” wondered Long Chen .

“That’s not it . Magical Beasts are all territorial . As long as they feel like they are threatened, they will think that the invaders came to take their territory, so they’ll naturally attack . It wasn’t because of hunger,” explained Meng Qi .

A loud roar echoed as Long Chen and Meng Qi reached the other side of the river . From the darkness of the forest, a huge flaming wolf pounced on them .

“Scram!”

Long Chen kicked the eighth rank wolf away . Its huge body tumbled through the forest . Terrified of Long Chen, it knelt in the distance, baring its teeth toward Long Chen, warning him .

“Is it because of Little Snow?” asked Meng Qi quietly .

“Yes . I just can’t be emotionless toward wolf-type Magical Beasts,” sighed Long Chen .

Meng Qi held his hand . She worriedly asked, “Can Little Snow really be revived?”

Both Meng Qi and Long Chen had deep feelings toward Little Snow . To them, Little Snow was no different than family .

Meng Qi had personally witnessed Little Snow being struck by the Yama King Blood Curse . That Yama King Blood Curse was an extremely vile art . Anyone struck would definitely die .

“Don’t worry, Little Snow will definitely be revived . The soul will be the same, but the body will be different,” said Long Chen .

“Then why don’t we find a ninth rank wolf Magical Beast? We can erase its soul and allow Little Snow to revive,” said Meng Qi .

Long Chen shook his head . “No, ninth rank would be too low . Even tenth rank is too low . Little Snow only has one chance to be reborn . If it was just a ninth rank Magical Beast, the same old play would repeat again . If he can’t keep up with me, he still wouldn’t be happy after being revived . He has his own pride and would rather die alongside me . So the body I find for Little snow must be powerful, and it must be able to grow to the peak of the martial path with me . ”
