The Master of Beasts-Chapter 635 - 174:

"Host, are you going to personally take action?" Yu Bai asked with some surprise.

Such news resembling the Heaven and Earth Array is rarely seen in the Golden Desert, yet it's not so rare as to require Kai Ming to personally intervene!

"Just consider it a little exercise!"

........

"Is it here?"

Mo Ming's emerald green eyes brought great pressure to Lin Yao and his nephew.

Lin Yao tremulously responded, "It's right here!"

"Look, that's our previous caravan!" Lin Ping suddenly pointed to a section of the carriage exposed on the distant yellow sand.

"Let's go check it out!"

Bai Wei grabbed Lin Ping and brought him to the exposed part of the carriage. With a single hand gently pressing, the sand on both sides seemed to be under great pressure, automatically parting to reveal the carriage's dilapidated state, and several skeletons beside it.

The bones still bore numerous teeth marks and various sizes of claw marks.

Sniffing with his nose, Bai Wei said with some suspicion, "Why is this aura so chilling?"

Bringing back a bone with the thickest aura to the group, Bai Wei said gravely, "I feel like something's not right."

"Let this monk take a look!" Kai Ming reached out to grab the bone.

Mo Ming was about to stop him when unexpectedly, a large amount of black qi floated out from the bone. As it approached Kai Ming, it emitted a shrill scream and then vanished into the air.

"Residual resentment? Or ghosts?" Kai Ming was also a bit puzzled.

In the True Realm, Immortals are eternal, and mortals, due to their weak Divine Souls, can hardly form ghosts after death, leaving behind only some residual resentment.

However, that residual resentment is formless, unlike this, which condenses into black qi and can emit sounds like living beings.

Black Eye, the representative from the City Lord Mansion, squeezed in with his wide footfalls and large head, saying, "I smell the scent of Hell!"

Black Eye's bloodline is that of the Hellhound, a creature originally found only in Hell, naturally making him the most sensitive to the aura of Hell.

"The scent of Hell, could this be the work of the Underworld?" Mo Ming said, his face grave.

"This task is not easy to handle!" Kai Ming frowned as well.

Though the Golden Desert is remote, it doesn't mean it's out of touch. They've heard a bit about the current uproar of the Underworld invasion.

"Oh well, since I've already agreed, I, as a monk, must make my way forward!"

Kai Ming, with great spirit, led his subordinates and strode into the endless yellow sand ahead.

"Let's go, we can't be outdone by a bunch of monks neither male nor female!" Mo Ming said, shaking his sleeves.

After both parties entered, only Black Eye's side remained still.

"Black Eye, what do you say?" Silver King descended from high above, transforming into a silver-haired youth of about fifteen or sixteen years old and asked.

"I don't know; my inherited memories regarding Hell are quite few, but the remaining fragments warn me that it's very dangerous in here!" Black Eye hesitantly said.

"We can't just not look, can we?" Yue Li said impatiently.

"True. Let's go, but make sure not to stray too far from each other and prioritize your own safety."

"Alright!"

........

'Lao Dao' stood not far from the city gate, greedily gazing at the cultivators constantly coming and going through the city gate.

"Food, so much food!"

"Hey, it's you, Lao Dao! I thought you were gone." A narrow-eyed Loose Cultivator bumped into Lao Dao.

"Hmm?" Lao Dao's eyes flashed with a hint of malice.

"Are you planning to make a move on me?" the Loose Cultivator taunted.

In the brief moment of conversation, 'Lao Dao' had already recalled memories about the person before him.

"So it's Da Hai! I'm back from completing a task and planning to repay you with Spirit Stones," 'Lao Dao' laughed heartily.

"Well, that's smart of you! It's much better this way. Every time I ask for Spirit Stones, it ends up in a fight. Better if it's done voluntarily, it's good for both of us!"

"Hand it over!" Da Hai said, eyes gleaming.

'Lao Dao' had no Spirit Stones at all. With a quick thought, he said, "How could I carry so many Spirit Stones on me? They're all in my cave mansion, come with me!"

Da Hai frowned but didn't doubt him, grumbling, "Do you know my time is precious? This time you'll have to add extra interest!"

'Lao Dao' nodded and bowed, agreeing like a servant leading the way.

Soon, the two arrived at a secluded cave mansion.

Da Hai looked with disdain and remarked, "Even as a famous Loose Cultivator, you live in a place like this!"

"Quick, bring the Spirit Stones!"

"Brother Hai, follow me, follow me."

The two entered the cave mansion one after another, followed by an extremely terrified voice.

"What is this? No, no."

"Lao Dao, I don't want the Spirit Stones anymore."

"Don't! Ah, save me!"

"Squish, squish"

The sound of beasts gnawing continued to echo, and Da Hai's once vibrant voice gradually weakened until it completely disappeared.

Before long, 'Lao Dao' reappeared, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, with a look of ecstasy on his face, "That was delicious, truly exquisite!"

"I love it here!"

Inside the cave mansion lay a fresh skeleton full of bite marks, with an eyeball scattered beside it, the terror within it seeming to silently recount what had just happened.

After walking a couple of steps, 'Lao Dao' paused, his aura began to change, and a completely new appearance emerged.

"This should do it!"

"I remember this guy seems to be called Wu Yan."

The person in Lao Dao's original memory was also a Loose Cultivator, but this Wu Yan was backstabbed while out with Lao Dao, and no one knew he was already dead. Now, his appearance was perfect, not easily arousing suspicion.

......

"Merciful Buddha!"

Kai Ming crushed the monster behind him with a punch, turning it into a pile of flesh, and retrieved a red crystal from it.

"Rich Qi-Blood, truly a rare Body Cultivation Spiritual Medicine!"

These crystals contained extremely pure Qi-Blood power, truly a Supreme Treasure for Body Cultivators focusing on physical strength!

"Roar!"

Roars echoed densely around, and Yu Bai trembled slightly, "Host, the number of monsters has increased again!"

Kai Ming joined his palms together, about to speak, then saw the blood on his hands and subtly lowered them, "Gather everyone together, and find an opportunity to meet up with others."

Though the monsters ahead were numerous, Kai Ming could handle them, but the loss of other disciples might be significant, which seemed somewhat undesirable.

On the other side, Mo Ming was also caught in a similar predicament.

Bai Wei reverted to his true form, the enormous body of the Jade Flood Dragon weaving through the group of monsters, unleashing a bloody storm.

"That's enough. Stop entangling with them, find a chance to meet up with the others!"

Bai Wei licked his lips with some reluctance; although the monsters looked quite hideous, the crystals inside tasted quite good, a rare chance to enhance his long-unchanged body.

"Alright then!"

The simplest situation was surely with Black Eye and his group, as they were all Spiritual Beasts whose massive bodies could easily sweep through these monsters.

"Boom"

Yue Li's punch enveloped several monsters, smashing them into blood mist, skillfully collecting a few crystals and consuming them.

"Don't eat random things!" Yang Huan said displeased.

"It's fine!" Yue Li said nonchalantly, being a Heavenly Immortal, determining whether spiritual objects were poisonous was simple.

This was also why True Realm Poison Cultivators were in decline and nearly unseen, as the instincts of Immortals were too strong, making poisoning nearly impossible.

"Hmm, no need to be overly nervous, it's indeed fine," Zhan Ge agreed, shouldering a blood-colored long staff.

"Huff"

Two long streams of Black Flames surged from Black Eye's nostrils, the terrifying flames burning a crystal into black smoke, Black Eye approached and sniffed, "Indeed, no problem, at least not that we can see!"

"Then it's okay to eat, right?" Silver King's eyes flashed.

In this place, most of the Spiritual Beasts had extremely strong bodies, with Silver King and Yang Huan having the lowest physical strength, but Yang Huan was adept in the art of assassination, with a much higher efficiency in killing than Silver King.

"Hmm"

In the depths of the eerie region,

a colossal dark green head slowly emerged from the deep desert, its gigantic eyes glancing in three directions.

"Master, you tasked me to guard this place, but it seems we can't use full power at the Golden Immortal level. This task is too troublesome!"

The enormous head complained for a bit, then sighed heavily, lamenting, "This time I'm losing big, haven't even tasted fresh blood and I'm already at a loss!"

A large stream of blood sprayed from the head's mouth, and a horde of creatures, after bathing in the fresh blood, experienced a surge in their cultivation, rapidly advancing from True Immortal to Heavenly Immortal in mere breaths!

"Children, go and eliminate all those invaders!"
