Chapter 339 - 339 Prey (1/2)

Seeing the shiny golden-colored beast core that had rolled its way in front of his feet, Shun Long didn't hesitate to pick it up and place it inside the herb garden in his 'Stone of Time'.

At the same time, only when she saw the corpse of the middle rank 4 magic beast fall on the ground did Liu Mei allow the black ball of death qi from her hand to disappear.

Although she and Shun Long were both many times stronger than before, Liu Mei guessed that if the 'Silver-clawed earth burrower' had reached the peak of rank 4, they may not have been able to kill this beast even with all of her skeletons and undead knights combined.

After all, even Shun Long wouldn't have been able to affect a peak rank 4 magic beast with his 'Dao of Time' just yet, while his cultivation was still at the middle of rank 4.

Despite having almost half of his qi being drained at once after using his 'Time Prison', Shun Long didn't sit down to recover just yet, and instead, after removing the 'Silver-clawed earth burrower's' silver claws as well, he abandoned the useless parts of its body, as he and Liu Mei continued further inside.

Staying in that place to recover his qi would only bring more trouble.

Shun Long knew that the scent of blood coming from the middle rank 4 magic beast would certainly attract other predators in this area.

If a powerful peak rank 4 or even a rank 5 magic beast showed up, then it would surely cause a commotion and attract even more people and magic beasts in this area.

Additionally, although Shun Long had a certain degree of certainty in dealing with an early or even a middle stage rank 5 magic beast using the 'Soul Poisoning hell grass' poison, he also knew that some magic beasts were naturally immune to poisons as well.

He wouldn't bet things on luck to see if the magic beasts that were attracted here, were actually affected by the 'Soul poisoning hell grass' poison or not.

As he and Liu Mei continued walking deeper inside time continued to pass, but Shun Long was disappointed that even after 4 hours of walking, they didn't seem to find any other rank 4 magic beast.

Even early rank 4 magic beasts seemed to have been scarce in this area, which was completely different from the rumors about this place.

Shun Long suddenly understood that the 'Ten thousand beasts' mountain range' seemed to have certain layers that it was comprised of, which also indicated the different territories of the magic beasts here.

The first layer that he was at now, seemed to still be the very outskirts.

The magic beasts in this place seemed to be at the early rank 3 to the peak of rank 3.

Of course, among the rank 3 magic beasts, there probably existed some powerful rank 4 magic beasts that were usually hidden as well like the 'Silver-clawed earth burrower', but these beasts were extremely rare and wouldn't easily show themselves.

If it wasn't because the 'Silver-clawed earth burrower' had sensed that Liu Mei's aura was at the middle of rank 4 of the Spirit realm, this beast would have certainly avoided attacking them.

As he and Liu Mei continued to walk deeper inside the 'Ten thousand beasts' mountain range' night soon fell, before the sounds of fighting as well as miserable cries of men and women sounded from the distance.

Liu Mei turned her head to look at Shun Long who was staring in the distance ahead before she asked curiously
