136 The Show of Power (1/2)
Demon Beast Territory.
The landscape within the outer area of the demon beast territory was extremely rough. It was filled with numerous trees, mountains, and valleys.
Crossing this mountain range was not an easy task.
However, Ling Chen was truly a brilliant being. After reading the memories of both Bai Chang and Bai He, he had learned all the paths within the mountain range.
Under his leadership, they had traveled more than a hundred of miles in just a few hours and had officially entered the inner area of the demon beast territory.
As they ventured within the inner area of the demon beast territory, the demon beasts' level has become much stronger than previously.
Within the inner area, they would occasionally encounter mid-level demon king beasts and some peak level demon King beasts.
Of course, this level of strength could just be considered strong for normal people. For someone like Ling Chen and the others, they were still too weak.
Right now, Ling Chen had the strength of a 3rd tribulation Martial Saint while Ling Lei had the strength similar to that of a Martial Venerable, and Fang Lan had just broken through the Martial Emperor realm as well.
The five little devils could be considered as peak Martial King realm warrior. This powerful combination allowed them to walk through the outer area of the demon beast territory into the inner area like it was their own backyard.
They could have made it to the inner area a long time ago, however, Ling Chen's purpose was to train the five little devils and raise their strength before they arrived at the Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan. As such, they took longer than expected.
As they continued making their way into the deeper part of the demon beast territory, Ling Chen suddenly halted his footsteps.
At the same time, his mouth curved upward, revealing a cold smile.
”Well, it seems like we gonna have some company.”
”Rustle, rustle.”
With his spiritual sense, Ling Chen had already discovered various powerfully built Windwolves rushing out from the mountain forest towards their direction at an extremely fast speed.
”Roar ~~~”
The great roars of the wolves resounded continuously. Various Windwolves rushed out from the mountain forest unceasingly. In only a short while, Ling Chen and the others were already surrounded by more than a hundred Windwolves.
The rustling sounds increased and more and more Windwolves continued to show up.
Windwolves were demon beast that traveled in a pack. They're very brutal and aggressive. Unless the leader of the pack was killed, they would become even more bloodthirsty as the fight went on.
Soon, Ling Chen and his group were surrounded by more than four hundred Windwolves and there was till new ones rushed out from the mountain forest.
These wolves were more than just a simple pack. Their claws were like swords, fangs like sabers, and with firm and resolute furs, they were extremely hard to injure. Also, their speed was extremely fast.
Moreover, even the weakest among them was at the Demon Lord level while the strongest were three initial Demon Emperors or 7th rank demon beasts.
The three leading Windwolves stared at Ling Chen and the others with their cold eyes, a murderous intent emanating from them. Their cruel white fangs gleamed with a cold light
Surrounded by the hundreds of Windwolves, Ling Chen was still calm as he ordered. ” Ling Wei, Ling Zheng, Ling Shen, Ling Rui, and Ling Bing, this is your first test. You have less than an hour to get rid of all of them.”
”We won't disappoint you, father.” They simultaneously answered with a confident look on their faces upon hearing Ling Chen's order. At the same time, they formed a circle around Ling Chen, Fang Lan, and Ling Lei. It was as though they were protecting them from the Windwolves.
”Filthy beastmen, how dare you intrude our Wolf's domain?”
While Ling Wei and the others were getting ready to face the hundred of Windwolves, they suddenly heard a cold and disdainful voice rang out within their mind. It wasn't just them, even Ling Chen heard that voice as well.
Hearing the words of the 7th rank demon beast, Ling Chen was surprised. Not because the 7th rank demon beast was able to talk to them telepathically as it wasn't something unusual, but because he referred to Ling Wei and the others as beastmen.
Ling Chen had long heard about beastmen, they were a group of people that were born from the union of humans and demon beasts. After a demon beast has broken through the 8th rank, it was capable of taking human form.
As such it wasn't impossible for them to mate with humans. However, it was very rare. Beastmen are usually found in the Heaven Suppression Region or the Divine Demon Beast Region.
Furthermore, because they weren't human or demon beast, they were the subject of discrimination. Whether it was human or demon beast, they all viewed them as inferior hybrids.
