Qin Feng's eyes flickered as he looked the strange man up and down. He noticed that the man was emanating a pure demonic aura, but he was not a demon. Instead, he seemed more like a powerful magical beast.
Normally, once a magical beast successfully survives the tribulation of transformation, it gains the ability to transform into human form.
However, despite this, the combat power of monsters in human form is often limited to a certain extent and cannot be compared with that when they maintain their true form.
Therefore, when faced with intense battles, most monsters will choose to revert to their true forms in order to unleash their strongest power.
The strange-looking man glanced at Qin Feng and the Iron-Eating Beast, then slowly flew to the Earth Demon Bear lying on the ground and said in a calm tone, "Get up and get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, the Earth Demon Bear dared not be negligent in the slightest. He immediately endured the excruciating pain, struggled to his feet, and staggered away from the scene.
Once the Earth Demon Bear had gone far away, the strange man turned around and turned his gaze to Qin Feng and the Iron-Eating Beast.
With a flash, he arrived in front of Qin Feng and the Iron-Eating Beast.
He first sized up the Iron-Eating Beast, then turned his gaze to Qin Feng, and said coldly without expression, "Isn't it a bit excessive for you to allow your mount to slaughter living beings in this Demon Yuan Forest?"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and said with a hint of mockery in his tone, "It's really surprising that a magical beast could say such a thing."
He paused, his gaze fixed on the other person, and continued, "As far as I know, what you magical beasts love most is killing, without exception, right?"
The eerie man's face darkened, and he coldly snorted, "Nonsense!"
He stared coldly at Qin Feng and continued, "I don't deny that magical beasts are bloodthirsty, but they're not as outrageous as you say!"
"Most magical beasts that have developed intelligence are not bloodthirsty!"
"Especially the magical beasts in the Demon Essence Forest, they all prefer to coexist peacefully!"
Upon hearing the strange man's words, Qin Feng merely curled his lip and said with disdain, "Hmph, that's just your self-deception."
Too lazy to waste words arguing with this strange man, he said directly, "Demonic beasts are inherently bloodthirsty, there is no doubt about that."
"Heh, in this dog-eat-dog world, don't give me that nonsense!"
Qin Feng stared directly at the strange man without fear and said decisively, "I will allow my mount to slaughter those mutated beasts and magical creatures. What are you going to do about it?"
Whether it's the core of a mutated beast or the core of a magical beast, both can help the Iron-Eating Beast improve its cultivation, so Qin Feng naturally wouldn't give up easily.
Even if the strange man opposite him was only at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, he would not back down.
The eerie man's face instantly darkened, and he said coldly, "Does Your Excellency think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you?"
His voice was icy cold, as if it could penetrate one's soul.
"Hmph, although I can't see through your cultivation level, I'm sure you're not much stronger than me!" the strange man continued, his tone full of disdain and provocation.
"So you'd better take your mount and get out of the Demon Yuan Forest right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
The strange man spoke his last words with particular sternness, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Qin Feng chuckled, a forced smile on his face, and asked the strange-looking man, "How do you intend to be impolite to me?"
His expression was calm and composed, and he didn't take the strange man's threat seriously at all.
"Are you sure you're mentally prepared to die if you fight me?" Qin Feng retorted, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the strange-looking man fell silent.
In fact, he knew very well that if they really started fighting, he might not have the upper hand.
After all, he couldn't see through Qin Feng's cultivation level, yet Qin Feng confidently asked him if he was prepared to perish, clearly indicating that he had something to rely on.
Qin Feng asked this question because he had seen through the strange man's thoughts.
If the strange man was confident he could defeat him, why would he waste time talking to him? He would probably have attacked without saying a word when he arrived.
Therefore, the strange man was talking nonsense to him because he couldn't see through his strength and wasn't confident of defeating him.
After a long while, the strange-looking man finally spoke with great helplessness: "Sir, please don't go too far! In any case, this Demon Yuan Forest is the territory of our magical beasts!"
"If you continue to rely on your superior cultivation level to allow your mount to kill at will, then even though I know I am no match for you, I will fight you to the bitter end!"
His voice carried a hint of determination, as if he was prepared to fight to the death.
Qin Feng stared calmly at the strange man and said in a nonchalant tone, "My mount needs the cores of those mutated beasts and magical creatures to enhance its strength!"
Then, after a slight pause, he added, "If you can provide me with some beast cores, I might consider stopping my mount from continuing its slaughter!"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, the strange-looking man's expression visibly relaxed, and he nodded in agreement. "No problem!"
After all, there are numerous mutated wild beasts and magical creatures in this Demonic Forest.
Whether they are mutated beasts or magical beasts, they are constantly fighting each other, so tens of thousands of mutated beasts and magical beasts perish every day.
Useful animal cores can be extracted from these fallen corpses.
These beast cores are not only beneficial to the Iron-Eating Beasts, but also play an important role for other magical beasts.
Therefore, the strange man had already collected a considerable number of beast cores.
Immediately afterwards, the strange-looking man took out a storage ring and handed it to Qin Feng, saying, "This storage ring contains over a million beast cores. That should be enough to meet your needs, right?"
Qin Feng picked up the storage ring and examined it carefully.
The storage ring was incredibly spacious, filled with crystal-clear beast cores that emitted rich energy fluctuations.
These animal cores were piled up like mountains, their sheer number astonishing.
Qin Feng made a rough estimate and indeed there were over a million beast cores!
Immediately, Qin Feng took all the beast cores out of his storage ring and piled them in front of the Iron-Eating Beast.
The Iron-Eating Beast stared wide-eyed at the mountain of beast cores before it in disbelief.
Its eyes were filled with ecstatic joy, and its mouth was wide open, revealing sharp teeth. This was a feast for it, an unprecedented opportunity.
Without hesitation, the Iron-Eating Beast opened its blood-red maw and greedily devoured the mountain of beast cores piled up in front of it.
Its chewing sound is crisp and clear, and every bite is like enjoying the most delicious food in the world.
As the Iron-Eating Beast continued to devour the beast core, its body gradually emitted a powerful aura.
