When the python spotted the iron-eating beast, it immediately felt a chill rise up its spine, and its body trembled involuntarily.
The powerful aura emanating from the giant beast instilled fear in the python, which turned and fled without hesitation.
It quickly shoved aside the surrounding mutated beasts and fled the scene at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, the python vanished without a trace.
The iron-eating beast sensed the python's escape, a hint of mockery flashing in its large eyes. It seemed to be laughing at the python's foolishness, believing it couldn't possibly escape its pursuit.
Immediately afterwards, the massive body of the Iron-Eating Beast transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from its spot in an instant.
In no time, it had caught up with the fleeing python.
Before the python could react, the iron-eating beast suddenly raised its sharp claws and slammed them down.
With a loud "bang!", the python's body was slammed into the ground, lifeless.
Then, the Iron-Eating Beast used its sharp claws to slice open the python's corpse and took out a huge and strange beast core.
It swallowed it whole without hesitation, enjoying the sumptuous meal.
After digesting the strange beast's core, the Iron Eater's body began to change. Its originally round body gradually became slender, and its fur became harder and smoother.
Its eyes gleamed with golden light, exuding a powerful and majestic aura.
The iron-eating beast felt full of power and couldn't wait to return to its original place.
When it saw that the mutated beasts it had fought with earlier had fled, it did not hesitate at all and immediately rushed into the nearby dense forest to continue its pursuit.
Qin Feng stood quietly in place, sensing the powerful aura emanating from the Iron-Eating Beast. A slight smile played on his lips as he muttered to himself, "This little guy is quite impressive!"
Qin Feng didn't rush to catch up with the Iron-Eating Beast, but walked slowly, as if admiring the surrounding scenery.
He knew in his heart that with the Iron-Eating Beast's current strength, these mutated beasts posed no threat to it at all.
The iron-eating beast darted through the dense forest at lightning speed.
Each attack carried immense power, easily tearing the mutated beasts to shreds.
About half an hour later, the iron-eating beast finally completed its slaughter mission.
It killed almost all the mutated beasts within a thousand miles, leaving only some bloodstained remains scattered on the ground.
The sheer number of people slaughtered filled the air with a pungent, nauseating stench of blood.
Qin Feng slowly walked to the Iron-Eating Beast's side, gently stroked its head with his right hand, a faint smile on his lips, and said softly, "Let's continue!"
He knew that the Demon Yuan Forest was vast and boundless, and that countless strange beasts must be hiding within it.
The beast cores inside these strange beasts are undoubtedly precious resources for the Iron-Eating Beasts to enhance their strength.
Qin Feng would never stop the Iron-Eating Beast from killing these wild beasts because of his so-called saintly heart.
After all, this is a dog-eat-dog world, and survival of the fittest is the eternal truth.
What's more, they are now facing a group of mutated beasts that have no intelligence and only know how to kill blood.
How could Qin Feng possibly feel any pity for them?
The iron-eating beast raised its head and roared, the sound echoing through the mountains and forests, as if it were about to shatter the sky.
Its fur stood on end in anger, and its eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Then, it suddenly turned around and ran wildly into the depths of the forest with heavy steps.
Qin Feng followed closely in the footsteps of the Iron-Eating Beast, and the figures of the man and the beast gradually disappeared into the dense forest.
They traversed treacherous valleys, rushing rivers, and dense jungles.
Along the way, Qin Feng and the Iron-Eating Beast encountered all sorts of mutated wild beasts.
Some wild beasts are enormous, as big as small mountains;
Some are extremely fast, as swift as lightning.
But they are all trash in front of the iron-eating beast.
The Iron-Eating Beast displayed astonishing combat power, with each attack carrying unparalleled strength.
Its claws are as hard as steel, capable of easily tearing apart the flesh of its enemies.
As time went by, the iron-eating beast's body gradually became stronger.
Its muscle definition became more pronounced, and its fur became thicker and tougher.
Qin Feng and the Iron-Eating Beast roamed freely in the Demon Yuan Forest, as if they were in an empty place.
Along the way, in addition to those mutated beasts, the Iron-Eating Beast also defeated many powerful magical beasts.
It's worth mentioning that the magic core inside the monster also has an effect on the Iron-Eating Beast; consuming and refining it can also increase its strength.
A day later, the Iron-Eating Beast finally encountered its true formidable foe—a magical beast with a body as large as a mountain, the Earth Demon Ape!
This earth demon ape exuded a terrifying aura; its body was like a moving mountain, and every step it took caused the ground to tremble.
Its eyes were full of contempt and provocation, as if it didn't take the iron-eating beast in front of it seriously.
The iron-eating beast sensed the opponent's power, but did not back down.
Instead, it let out a roar and challenged the Earth Demon Ape.
Although the Iron-Eating Beast is only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, its combat power far surpasses that of other beasts of the same level due to the bloodline of ancient divine beasts contained within it.
In comparison, the Earth Demon Ape is far more terrifying in strength. It has reached the mid-stage of the Immortal King Realm, which is almost a whole major realm higher than the Iron-Eating Beast.
Even so, the iron-eating beast was not intimidated.
With its tenacious fighting spirit and precise control of its power, it successfully withstood the Earth Demon Ape's attack and found an opportunity to counterattack.
The battle between the Iron-Eating Beast and the Earth Demon Ape was extremely fierce, with neither side giving an inch and the fight proving to be a close contest.
During the fierce battle, the Iron-Eating Beast suddenly unleashed a mysterious skill.
Its entire body radiated a dazzling light, within which ancient runes could be faintly seen.
These runes surrounded the Iron-Eating Beast, instantly increasing its power.
The Earth Demon Ape was startled by this sudden turn of events and took a few steps back.
However, the Iron-Eating Beast did not stop its attack. It used its powerful strength to deliver a heavy blow to the Earth Demon Ape.
The Earth Demon Ape let out a painful howl and collapsed to the ground.
The iron-eating beast pressed its advantage, preparing to deliver the final blow.
Just then, a mysterious voice rang in the Iron-Eating Beast's ear: "Enough, stop."
The iron-eating beast hesitated for a moment, then finally stopped and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A strange-looking man dressed in a black robe emerged from the dense forest not far away.
It couldn't see the other's face, but it sensed the other's powerful and unfathomable aura.
The iron-eating beast immediately realized that it had no chance against its opponent, so without hesitation, it turned around and rushed to Qin Feng's side.
At this moment, staying by Qin Feng's side is the only safe option.
