Chapter 007: Demon Beasts

The silver wolf continued to charge inward, but as it pressed on, it began to sense something was amiss, and its breathing became increasingly rapid

This is also the estate of Old Master Zhong, and this manor is situated near a massive mountain range, with Kaiyang Temple located within that range. It is not that Old Master Zhong is unwilling to extend the railway into the mountains; rather, the mountains here are filled with countless solid minerals, and even with a hundred years of effort, only a few mountains can be tunneled through.

Yin Qiu continued to sit on the mat, practicing and regulating his breath. Having reached the innate stage, Yin Qiu was no longer constrained, and would soon attain the innate stage as well

Without any warning, the silver wolf suddenly pounced on Old Master Zhong

In the main body, Old Master Zhong walked down to the underground, where there was also a train tunnel.

Carefully placing the jade piece into his bosom, Old Master Zhong let out a long sigh. A strong sense of confidence burst forth from his eyes

The two figures embraced each other, and the main body stepped on the ground, revealing an underground entrance once again. Adjusting their clothing, the main body descended while holding the jade piece, and after going down, the underground entrance closed once more

Old Master Zhong was in a state of deep meditation, yet the wolf—was it merely relying on its sense of smell? The wolf's nose is exceptionally sensitive. After the howl of the sky and the moon, once the time for absorbing the moonlight had passed, it fixed its gaze on the valley below, its eyes revealing a hint of coldness.

Behind this lies an endless expanse of mountains, rarely trodden by human feet. Moreover, there are numerous venomous insects and poisonous plants, with miasma pervading the air. Many ferocious beasts lurk in the shadows, and there are also supernatural creatures that roam about. Even the venerable Lord Zhong, who is at the innate stage, would not dare to enter alone.

Old Master Zhong shrank back in fear at https://m.hetushu.com

He picked up the large knife that had been knocked away by the silver wolf, shouldered his burden, and quickly left the spot. This place was not suitable for staying long, it was better to leave quickly

The silver wolf charged for a while longer, but finally could not endure any more

The situation has become extremely serious, as the surrounding rocks are constantly shaking. Clearly, it will not be long before this area of rock is worn away, causing the silver wolf to bite itself.

Thus, the hidden body will remain stationed at the Zhong residence; otherwise, if the old fellow from the Kaiyang Sect detects any clues, it would not be good. The Hongluan Sutra cannot be cultivated by the hidden body, so I will seek other methods to practice later. However, as long as the main body does not perish, the hidden body will not be extinguished. The red orb will be safeguarded by the hidden body, while the main body will proceed to the Kaiyang Sect.

The silver wolf, with its head raised, howled at the moon. At that moment, its entire body seemed to shine even more brightly, not merely silver, but as if more moonlight was illuminating it. Was it absorbing the moonlight?

Pressing against the mountain wall, Old Master Zhong could already sense the foul odor emanating from the silver wolf's mouth, which was right in front of him, capable of biting him at any moment. Moreover, it was getting closer and closer to him.

demon beast

"The shadow in space? It is simply identical to me. Two of me, I have two bodies," Old Master Zhong said with a smile.

Old Master Zhong only felt a numbness in his hand, and the large knife was knocked away. No knife left

The silver wolf extended its sharp claws, its massive wolf head pressing inward, as if it were about to bite Old Master Zhong at any moment

At the age of forty, Lord Zhong, for some unknown reason, still appeared to be in his early fifties. However, after spending a night with Fairy Zixun, his appearance rejuvenated significantly, making him look around forty years old.

From the looks of this demon beast, if the rocks here were to shatter, I would surely die on the spot. What to do, what to do? The dagger? I still have that dagger, which I obtained from a cultivator. Perhaps it could work, but if I move, the silver wolf might bite me before I can use it.

With a gentle wave of his hand, suddenly, a shadow appeared before Old Master Zhong. The shadow was the same height as Old Master Zhong and gradually, the shadow began to take on a distinct form. This form, however, resembled Old Master Zhong's appearance before he reached the innate stage, in his old age. With another gentle shake, the appearance slowly transformed to become youthful, eventually resembling his current self exactly.

The mountains here are the true high mountains, with several thousand meters in height being quite common. In the distance, one towering peak after another pierces the clouds. Old Master Zhong is determined to traverse these mountains, heading deep into the heart of the mountains to reach Kaiyangzong.

Awoo ... ...

However, this scene appeared quite amusing in the eyes of the Silver Wolf; it had been a long time since it had tasted the flavor of humanity.

In the valley, there is a small depression in the mountain that can just barely shield one from the wind and rain, accommodating only one person; any more would not fit. After clearing the interior, some special substances were sprinkled outside, and then one sat cross-legged inside.

Looking at the person in front of him who looked exactly like himself, Old Master Zhong also let out a long sigh

With a true flow of energy at hand, a thread of red Luan energy is infused within.

This is the extraordinary ability mastered by Old Master Zhong to traverse space, allowing one person to control two bodies simultaneously. Moreover, this shadow body can transform into a shadow, passing through narrow gaps like those of a door, and hiding within the shadows of others, which is incredibly miraculous

Upon sensing the silver wolf leap down and fix its gaze upon him, Old Master Zhong realized that he was in trouble and could not escape. He had been discovered.

After resting for two days in the manor and preparing everything that needed to be arranged, Old Master Zhong finally instructed the butler, shouldered a bundle, grasped a large knife, and set off on foot towards the depths of the mountains

...

Shh ... ...

This place is often frequented by the silver wolf. With the presence of human scent, it naturally detected it immediately. Moreover, at the mountain pass where Old Master Zhong resides, the medicinal materials he scattered to ward off poisonous insects emitted an unusual odor, which also instantly caught the attention of the silver wolf

In the dead of night, a piercing howl of a wolf resonated through the valley

The pain inflicted by the broadsword drove the silver wolf into a frenzy, its eyes turning blood red as it pressed into the mountain hollow. Countless fragments of rock tumbled down, as if it could devour Old Master Zhong at any moment

The crisis has been averted

With a series of leaps, the silver wolf jumped into the valley of Old Master Zhong and fixed its gaze on Old Master Zhong, who was situated in the hollow of the mountain.

Upon realizing this, Old Master Zhong was taken aback, quickly retreating and immediately employing the Tortoise Breathing Technique, hoping that the large wolf would not see him

Old Master Zhong swiftly filled his large knife with true energy, extending his hand to stab towards the silver wolf.

At this moment, a bright full moon casts its light down, illuminating the valley with an extraordinary silver brightness. The howling of wolves emanates from the mountaintop, as Old Master Zhong gazes up at the sky and the map.

The originally red eyes have now become even redder, yet the redness at this moment seems to be a different concept from the previous redness

At the palm, a large amount of pink mist suddenly burst forth. Under the urging of Old Master Zhong, the small valley was instantly filled with the red mist of love, the number one spring medicine in the world

Upon witnessing this scene, Old Master Zhong's pupils constricted, and he immediately recognized that it was a demon beast

A cunning rabbit has three burrows; how much more so for Old Master Zhong? The secrets of Old Master Zhong are not something those adopted sons can grasp

The silver wolf continuously clawed at the old man Zhong in the hollow of the mountain, and it was indeed a wise choice of location by old man Zhong, as the enormous body of the silver wolf could not even enter

After traveling by train for ten days, we finally arrived at another estate

At this point, Old Master Zhong renamed his two bodies as the Main Body and the Shadow Body

The dagger is ineffective, true energy, the red luan celestial scripture

Old Master Zhong furrowed his brows, opened his eyes, and gazed outward

In the evening, Old Master Zhong found a relatively clean valley. The term "relatively clean" refers to the simplicity of the grass in this area, with few poisonous insects and toxic plants, no miasma, and no large wild beasts roaming about.

However, the location of Kaiyang Temple is too far away, and by evening, one can only find a place to rest

A large silver wolf, three meters tall, a three-meter tall wolf

Unable to bear it any longer, unable to bear it any longer, the silver wolf quickly turned and ran, its eyes glowing red, heading into the deep mountains, destination unknown

Old Master Zhong is sitting inside, waiting for dawn

Unable to do so, Old Master Zhong swiftly drew his large knife to defend himself

Old Master Zhong understands that the so-called demon beasts are those that transcend the categories of wild animals and book beasts. The lowest level of demon beasts possesses strength equivalent to that of a human at the innate stage. As for the innate stage, Old Master Zhong has just advanced to it, making him the weakest among the innate practitioners. Moreover, he lacks the corresponding techniques for the innate stage, relying only on the postnatal techniques he previously learned. If he had innate techniques, he might stand a chance, but now it is evident that he can only hide, hoping that the large wolf has not seen him.

When ... ...

Old Master Zhong let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with astonishment

Making a fire? Old Master Zhong would not dare to do so, as making a fire equates to placing oneself in the most dangerous position. Many wild beasts on Earth fear fire, but here, do the wild beasts, or even the demon beasts, still fear fire?

rumbling ... ...

Death, the sensation of death, Old Master Zhong suddenly felt the sensation of death

Indeed, this is a supernatural ability. Under the effects of light and shadow, Old Master Zhong and the shadow of this space can still project a dark silhouette. However, this spatial shadow is rather unique, akin to the external avatars found in novels from decades ago on Earth, reminiscent of the legendary second soul, and even more like a peculiar magical artifact. Yet, it is far more extraordinary than any of these.

In an instant, countless illusions of she-wolves flashed through the silver wolf's mind. Endless desires surged forth within. What is happening? I want to eat people, why has it turned into thoughts of she-wolves?

This sitting lasted until deep into the night

The silver wolf let out a painful howl, swinging its claws towards the place of the large blade

Gambled a bit

Since the beginning, my agility has improved significantly. Climbing over a high mountain has become merely a matter of continuous leaps. Along the way, I encountered poisonous insects and toxic plants, all of which were deftly avoided by Old Master Zhong.

It merely broke the skin a little
