The Golden Lion Beast. And what about Gui Rui and Liu Yuan? Wasn't it just a Golden Lion Beast, a kind of monster that doesn't exist on Earth?!

Monster?!

The two of them immediately broke out in a cold sweat. A demonic beast!

However, the two reacted differently. Wang Rui, on the other hand, had heard his godfather talk about the power of demonic beasts; in a bloody battle between a demonic beast and a cultivator of the same level, the cultivator would undoubtedly die. Moreover, the power of a demonic beast allowed it to challenge opponents of higher levels.

Some demonic beasts possess extremely powerful innate abilities, even rivaling top-tier "law-based divine abilities." In the history of plant cultivation, a level 99 earth dragon demonic beast, on the verge of evolving into a "demon," possessed the innate divine ability of Earth-based laws, "Earth Dragon Roar." This ability sealed several level 100 cultivators in earth, then weathered them away, killing them in a single blow! And these were several level 100 cultivators!

This is just a record; no one has ever actually seen it. However, it does illustrate that some of the innate supernatural abilities of demonic beasts are extremely terrifying.

One of the Golden Lion Beast's innate divine abilities is "Lion's Roar," a sonic attack-related divine ability. Although it cannot compare to the "law divine abilities" of true cultivators, it is still a top-tier innate divine ability below the law divine abilities.

Upon hearing the newcomer identify himself, Little Ha let out a deafening roar that seemed to shatter the heavens and split rocks. It traveled far and wide, then instantly grew several times its original size, reaching a height of three meters and a length of seven or eight meters. This was Little Ha's optimal fighting form, allowing him to unleash one hundred percent of his power!

"Ah!" Wang Rui and Liu Yuan were so frightened when they saw that Xiao Jin had grown so big that they stepped back. They tripped over each other, got up immediately, and ran away.

Run as far as you can!

Now, thinking back on it, he was terrified. Especially Liu Yuan, who was usually cautious and timid, had been forced into the army by Wang Ruiqiang and was resentful. Now, with this sudden turn of events, three people had died, and he had almost lost his life. He was filled with questions and fear.

Do monsters really exist in this world?

Are there really immortals?

Wang Rui stopped, not knowing how far he had run. Liu Yuan also stopped instinctively.

"Whoosh"

This frantic run had exhausted them both, and they could no longer stand. They were already quite lucky they hadn't wet themselves or gone weak in the knees from fear. Now, unable to hold on any longer, they collapsed to the ground, not even caring that the sand was still very hot.

"Young Master Wang, what exactly happened? Was I hallucinating just now?" Liu Yuan asked breathlessly in fear.

As she spoke, she pinched herself; her thigh hurt. This proved that everything that had just happened was real! She was momentarily lost in thought again. This whole affair was completely outside the realm of thinking of someone who had grown up believing in science and not in superstition.

"Hallucination? Hmph, Liu Da Nao, it's your good fortune to see Grandpa Wei today! That beast is a demon. It already possesses human-like thoughts and powerful abilities; even our bullets can't harm it! But, to Grandpa, it's nothing. Once Grandpa catches it and makes it his demon pet, all that underworld stuff will be nothing." Wang Rui remained excited, a sinister smile on his face.

If Grandpa catches that monster, he'll definitely take it and make it his pet warrior. With a monster pet, his combat power will increase dramatically! From now on, all those who play dirty tricks and shady dealings will have to obey him. Anyone who dares to disobey will be wiped out!

Liu Yuan was stunned. Wang Rui's grandfather...wasn't he just a retired old man? How did he become such a powerful expert?

"Hmph, and since you witnessed all of this today, then pretend this never happened. Don't reveal a single thing about today, or you know the consequences. My grandfather can kill some people without anyone knowing! From now on, stick by my side and do your job well!"

Ultimately, Wang Rui did admire Liu Yuan's competence, even though he was a bit timid. Since today's events were a matter of fate, letting Liu Yuan know his capabilities would surely prevent him from betraying him in the slightest, saving Wang Rui the trouble of using words and methods.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely follow Young Master Wang!" Liu Yuan blurted out. Her heart was filled with bitterness; what else could she do but follow?

If he didn't follow, Wang Rui would definitely kill him. What would happen to his wife, daughter, and family? Wang Shao's grandfather was actually even more powerful than that monster.

Killing one's own family would be as easy as turning one's hand.

"Haha, ouch, it's burning me!" Wang Rui was immediately delighted, but before he could finish laughing, he felt the burn on his back and rolled over.

"Let's go to the car. You remember the way, right? We'll wait for you there!"

Returning to the main battlefield.

Little Golden Beast's eyes were filled with solemnity and fear; it had encountered a formidable enemy! If the opponent were only three or four levels higher than it, it could fight back; if they were five or six levels higher, it could escape. But this person's level was at least forty, which was beyond its ability to fight. Even if it tried to escape, it probably wouldn't be able to.

However, the Golden Core of a demon beast forms much later than that of ordinary demon beasts, and correspondingly, its willpower is also quite high. That lion's roar just now wasn't a vocal attack; it was merely a message.

Now they can only hope their owner will come to their rescue. Thinking of its owner's strength, Little Gold still has confidence.

Xiao Jin had some understanding of Zhang Guodong's power. It had long since sensed the fluctuations in his magical energy. Having been by Zhang Guodong's side for so long, and seeing that Zhang Guodong hadn't avoided using his magic at all, Xiao Jin understood that its master was very powerful.

Magic power is something it fears; in terms of quality, magic power and demonic energy are equal. However, magic power is inherently the nemesis of demons. "Get up. Magic power is more powerful than demonic energy; magic power carries a dangerous aura."

But that's its owner, and it won't hurt it.

The life force within a demon beast is transformed into demonic energy, which is why it is able to challenge opponents of higher levels.

The person in front of me is strong, but there is no fluctuation of magical power on him, only a huge fluctuation of life force and demonic energy, which means that he has not yet reached the level of "quasi-great master".

"Little Golden Lion Beast, if you don't submit now, when will you?"

Wang Ping completely ignored Xiao Jin's roar and sneered. In his view, this monster was no match for him at all; he could easily defeat it with a single snip.

However, to make a beast a demonic pet or a fighting assistant, the beast must first submit. Otherwise, the contract is formed.

Of course, there is another way: a forced contract. That requires a "high-level expert" to forcibly take a demon beast ten levels lower than themselves as a demon pet.

However, those who have become "masters" are all seizing every opportunity to cultivate in seclusion. Weaker demonic beasts are actually a burden, hindering their own improvement. External things are ultimately just external things; most "masters" firmly believe this.

Having attachments in one's heart creates hindrances, preventing thoughts from becoming clear and pure, which is detrimental to breakthroughs in cultivation.

Moreover, contracting with a demonic beast carries a certain chance of failure.

Xiao Jin completely ignored Wang Ping's intimidation. He turned and ran. His massive body moved like a shooting star, nearly twice as fast!

"Beast! How dare you!" Wang Ping was stunned. He was instantly enraged, his life force surged, and he chased after Xiao Jin with a whoosh, his speed even five times faster than Xiao Jin's! While Xiao Jin was roaring, Zhang Guodong quickly left the stone house and went up the sand dune.

Xiao Jin's roar was filled with anxiety, which greatly surprised Zhang Guodong. If he hadn't spent a lot of time with Xiao Jin, he probably wouldn't have been able to understand the meaning behind that sound.

This guy is calling for help, but why would he be calling for help? Unless he's encountered a formidable enemy!

His divine sense, as soft as cotton or silk, spread out in an overwhelming manner, like a vast net with a radius of ten miles, encompassing everything within that area. Every single thing was revealed in its entirety.

"We've indeed encountered a formidable enemy!"

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the sky—it was Xiao Jin's voice—and it flashed past the slogan "Shatian". Then came a second one, which was about to catch up with Xiao Jin.

What was that sound?

"Was that lion's roar again? We must find out what happened this time!"

"What a great opportunity!"

"Who has the time to yell and shout? It's disturbing my games and my sleep!"

The sound startled many people in the desert, prompting them to come out and investigate.

But mortals are mortals; how can they possibly see such fleeting glimpses? Most return empty-handed and go back to what they were doing before.

Zhao Qingshan and He Chengxi are not included in this list.

They were monks, and very sensitive to this sound. They immediately leaped out of the villa and climbed the sand dune to listen carefully.

Just then, another whooshing sound came from the sky, growing louder as it approached, then flashed past Sha Tin No. 2. Gone!

"It's a monster!"

"A battle!"

The overwhelming force of the attack terrified the two men, and they were knocked to the ground with a thud.

"So powerful!"

After the two beams passed, the two realized they were drenched in cold sweat, their clothes completely soaked. That was too risky!

The two finally realized their mistake, quickly descended the sand dune, returned to the villa, and locked the doors as soon as they entered the house.

Just now, they almost met their demise, truly feeling the threat of death. If either of them had stopped, they probably wouldn't have seen the sun rise tomorrow.

"Cultivation!"

Where is Xiao Jin trying to escape to?

They fled out of the desert, to desolate, uninhabited places.

As they passed through the slogan-filled Shatin, Xiao Jin sensed its master's presence and immediately felt relieved, even having the urge to play with Wang Ping.

This was sensed through the contract. And contracts don't usually reveal themselves, so Wang Ping didn't know it was a beast that had already been contracted. Otherwise, if he knew that all his hard work had been completely hopeless, he'd probably be furious enough to vomit blood. Such a cunning beast?!

500 meters, 400 meters

Xiao Jin sensed the guy closing in behind him, and immediately turned and leaped in another direction. There, in the forest where Lei Tai and the others had met the two elders, Xiao Jin had fulfilled his promise to Zhang Guodong.

No one lives here, that's perfect! Otherwise, if war breaks out, ordinary people will know the world has changed. Not only will it be dangerous, but Zhang Guodong will also be in danger. Unless they kill every single human in the desert!

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters

"One hundred meters!"

"Let's see where you run now!" Wang Ping's voice came from behind. He patted his storage bag, and a mid-grade magic artifact appeared in his hand. "Go!"

One hundred meters is already a distance that Wang Ping can use to attack!

Just then, a silver beam flew out diagonally. With a loud boom, Wang Ping's magical weapon attack collided with the silver beam, but all the surrounding trees suffered damage. This allowed Xiao Jin to escape this time. Otherwise, if it had been entangled, it would have been unable to escape.

By: There is another bunch, a few seconds later.
