"Those were its original words."

The Void Beast leader was extremely wary of Lu Ping at this moment, with no intention of making another move at all.

The problem was, even if it wanted to attack, it couldn’t do it.

It still needed to break free from Lu Ping’s restraint first.

And how could it be so easy to break free?

"What do I want, huh."

Lu Ping showed a pondering look, and quickly had an idea.

"I want the treasure and opportunities in this ruin."

As soon as he said that, Zhang Tianqun and the other three all brightened. This proposal was great.

Hearing Lu Ping’s demand, the Void Beast leader muttered in a low voice.

"The range of this ruin is too large. In some places there are Creatures with terrifying strength. Even we don’t dare set foot there. You want the chances and treasures here, that’s possible, but only limited to this surrounding area."

"Only this surrounding area is within our control, and we know it very well."

The Void Celestial Sword Spirit continued translating.

Lu Ping’s eyes flickered. What he said just now was indeed what he had in mind.

But more than that, it had just been something he blurted out.

In his view, these treasures and opportunities would interest these Demon Beasts as well, so how could they possibly hand them over to these outsiders so easily?

He hadn’t expected that just by saying it casually, he would actually gain something.

"That works too."

Lu Ping replied.

At the very least, with the Void Beasts leading the way, he could obtain some treasures and opportunities more safely and save a lot of exploration time.

Having reached such an agreement, Lu Ping eased his control over the Void Beast leader and beckoned it to lead them around this surrounding area.

When they learned that these Void Beasts were going to help them obtain treasures and opportunities, Zhang Tianqun and the other three all showed looks of delight.

Who could have imagined this.

The situation had originally been tense, on the verge of a big fight, but with Lu Ping stepping in, things had suddenly turned out completely different.

Lu Ping followed behind the Void Beasts, while Zhang Tianqun and the other three followed behind Lu Ping, and they once again entered the Beast Fighting Arena region.

This time, with the Void Beasts joining them, the group no longer acted so cautiously.

Because the Void Beasts possessed powerful bloodlines, and there were several in the group who had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, even if Demon Beasts appeared nearby, they were scared off at the first instant, not daring to provoke them.

At this point, Lu Ping no longer needed the Void Celestial Sword Spirit to act as his interpreter, because by continually using the Spirit Manipulation Technique, he was now able to read the language of the Void Beasts with his Divine Sense.

From time to time he conversed with the Void Beast leader, inquiring about the situation of this Beast Fighting Arena.

He learned that the origin of this Beast Fighting Arena was far too ancient, and that these Void Beasts were not the first Creatures to arrive here.

When they came, this Beast Fighting Arena was already very old, housing hundreds of species of Demon Beasts, among which there were no lack of Golden Core Stage Demon Beasts.

And because it was under the jurisdiction of Human Race Cultivators, the Demon Beasts here were mostly suppressed in terms of bloodline, so that Demon Beasts beyond the Golden Core Stage would not be allowed to be born here.

As for how they had managed to grow to the Nascent Soul Stage, and why Nascent Soul Stage Creatures still existed in the surrounding area, it was because the Ancient Cultivators here had already left, abandoning this place.

Without the governance of the Human Race, this place gradually became a paradise for Demon Beasts.

But precisely because this place was sealed off and isolated from the outside world, with limited resources for survival, as the years passed, many Demon Beasts began to slaughter one another, treating each other as food.

In such an environment of natural selection and survival of the fittest, any Demon Beast that could survive was anything but simple.

Any race that could continue to reproduce here relied on strength to do so.

"How many Demon Beast races are left here now?"

Lu Ping asked curiously.

"There are sixteen races left."

"What Levels are those races at?"

Lu Ping asked.

"According to your current divisions, the weakest are all at the Tier Three level, and the strongest reaches Tier Six."

Tier Three level was equivalent to the Crystallization Stage.

Tier Six level made Lu Ping suck in a sharp breath.

That was equivalent to a Divinity Transformation Stage Level existence.

In this Ancient Ruins, there actually existed Demon Beasts of Divinity Transformation Stage Level!

"A Tier Six Creature is the absolute ruler here, and there is only one in this place."

The Void Beast leader said.

"That Tier Six Creature, which one is it? What race does it belong to?"

Lu Ping pressed on.

"You have a lot of questions."

The Void Beast leader said. It hadn’t spoken with Human Race Cultivators in a very long time and didn’t want to talk much to begin with. If it weren’t for its fear of Lu Ping, it would have turned around and left long ago, or even directly attacked and killed them.

Why would it bother answering these questions?

"You don’t want to say?"

Lu Ping spoke with a half-smile.

The Void Beast leader fell silent for a while.

Zhang Tianqun and the other three around them couldn’t understand the racial language of the Void Beasts, so they had no idea what the other side was saying.

Right now, they could only guess what Lu Ping and the Void Beast were talking about from Lu Ping’s words.

When they heard the term "Tier Six Creature," the four of them all changed expression and instinctively swept their gazes around the area.

If a Creature of that Level had its eye on them, there would be no chance of survival, not even a chance to resist.

"It’s the Six-tailed Golden Flame Fox."

The Void Beast spoke the race of that Creature, with a hint of dread in its tone.

"Six-tailed Golden Flame Fox."

Lu Ping murmured. This kind of Demon Beast only existed in ancient records, and he had indeed seen some introductions about it.

It was a Fire Attribute Demon Beast, skilled at wielding Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, and it also possessed a kind of innate flame called Heaven and Earth Golden Flame.

A Demon Beast that originally existed in the Ancient Times appearing here piqued Lu Ping’s interest somewhat.

However, it was only interest. He definitely wouldn’t take the initiative to approach such a Demon Beast.

"It is the absolute overlord here. Even we won’t provoke it."

The Void Beast leader said.

"Where is it?"

Lu Ping asked. This was the key point—he needed to steer clear of the Six-tailed Golden Flame Fox. If they accidentally trespassed into its territory, things would get troublesome.

If he could go around it, he would.

"Not far from here."

This answer from the Void Beast leader made even Lu Ping pause.

Right nearby—what did it mean by that?

Had it deliberately led them here?

Just as he was growing wary, the Void Beast leader’s voice sounded again.

"It’s not far from here, but we haven’t entered its territory. Most of the time it is cultivating or asleep. As long as we take care not to deliberately provoke it, it won’t bother with us."

These words made Lu Ping secretly let out a breath of relief. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The group continued forward. The eight Void Beasts nearby did not conceal their forms, but followed behind the Void Beast leader, arriving at a place that looked like a long-abandoned nest.

"What is this place?"

"A Demon Beast Nest?"

Lu Ping was full of curiosity now. Seeing this nest, he couldn’t help but ask.
