The zombie cthulhu in the coffin was getting restless and Lin Jin knew that he was probably hungry.
Zombie cthulhu was a strange beast that loved to eat fresh meat.
Sometimes, he could eat a lot in one meal and after one meal, he wouldn't eat for more than ten days. Since Lin Jin wanted to treat this zombie cthulhu, he couldn't let him starve.
He had White Ape toss the bird carcass into the coffin and allowed White Ape to carry the coffin around Mount Gua to hunt for prey. However, he was not allowed to hurt anyone.
White Ape had been following Lin Jin carefully and respectfully the entire time. Now that he had a chance to show off, he was more than happy. After bowing, he carried the coffin and ran off.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin stood at the top of the cliff, enjoying the mountain breeze and enjoying the scenery.
Although Mount Gua wasn't a famous mountain, the scenery was great. Looking into the distance, Lin Jin could see the surrounding mountains and rivers, opening his mind.
Observing for a long time would improve his state of mind.
It was no wonder that cultivators and experts liked to live in seclusion in the mountains. Those Taoist temples and Buddhist halls all liked to be built on the top of the mountains. This not only implied that they were superior and detached from the mortal world, but it was also beneficial for cultivation.
However, it was good to observe it occasionally. If he did it every day, it would be useless.
Lin Jin swept his gaze across the forest and saw White Ape leading the zombie cthulhu on a hunt in the distance. The zombie cthulhu was undoubtedly a carnivore but White Ape was an omnivore that ate everything.
Usually, White Ape ate more fruits, but sometimes he would also eat meat.
Just like now, White Ape had caught a mountain deer at lightning speed and tore it apart before eating it. The zombie cthulhu was even faster. With a sweep of his tentacles, he could even catch some wild beasts. Moments later, their flesh and blood were sucked dry, turning them into dried corpses.
That was pretty cruel.
However, survival of the fittest was the law of nature. Lin Jin couldn't possibly stop them from starving to death.
Regarding this, Lin Jin wasn't a hypocrite. He didn't allow his monsters and beasts to eat humans because he was a human. If Lin Jin was a deer, he would also forbid monsters and beasts from eating deer.
In the forest, the white ape had eaten a deer, but it was obviously not enough. He turned his head and saw that Zombie Cthulhu had eaten more.
The white ape wasn't convinced. It sniffed the air with its nose and leaped several dozen feet away, landing in a distant valley. There, several wild boars were hiding in the thick grass, shivering in fear. When the white ape suddenly landed, these wild boars were so frightened that they scattered in all directions.
But could they escape?
The white ape was also a demonic beast that cultivated magical techniques and divine abilities. With a sinister smile, it reached out and grabbed a wild boar that had just run away.
The wild boar squealed in fear, but the white ape remained unmoved. It opened its mouth and swallowed the boar whole. Its sharp teeth chewed on the boar, producing a strange sound.
"It's almost time." The white ape wasn't greedy. It had always been satisfied as long as it was full. Although it could eat another ten boars if it let loose, for it who had already started cultivating, there wasn't much meaning in eating meat blindly.
According to Master Lin, if it wanted to achieve success in cultivation, it should eat less meat in the future. In the future, it would need to absorb the spiritual energy of plants and the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. As time went by, the amount of meat would decrease. In the end, it could reach a point where it wouldn't need to eat meat for months or even years. Only then would it be considered as having some progress in cultivation.
The white ape naturally knew the benefits of cultivation and yearned for it. However, it would be a pity if it stopped eating meat. Hence, it would definitely cherish the opportunity to eat meat.
After swallowing a big wild boar, the white ape was ready to look for Zombie Cthulhu. However, at this moment, an arrow was suddenly shot at it from afar.
The arrow was extremely fast, shooting toward the white ape with a strong gust of wind.
If it had been an ordinary beast, it would not have been able to react in time and would have been hit by the arrow. However, the white ape was not an ordinary beast. It was a demonic beast. Even though it was only at the third rank, it was not something an ordinary arrow could hurt.
The energy around its body trembled and an invisible Vigor surrounded its body. The arrow only managed to penetrate a foot into its body before it was stopped and dropped to the ground.
The white ape turned around to see a few figures running toward it with a few pet beasts beside them.
"Keep shooting. Don't let the white ape escape."
"Haha, this forest isn't big but there's such a big white ape here. It must be a rare species. If we catch it, we can definitely sell it for a good price."
"You can't say that. This white ape is a murderous beast with a single glance. If we leave such a beast in this world, it will certainly harm many people. We've come out to gain experience and travel the world with our swords. Now that we've come across it, of course we can't just ignore it."
"Well said!"
As those people talked, a few more arrows flew over.
"Run? Why would I run? " The white ape muttered to himself. He stood still and watched as the group ran toward him. As for the arrows, they were all blocked and fell to the ground.
In a short while, White Ape was surrounded by those people.
At the front were several ferocious pet beasts. Among them were lions, tigers, and mountain leopards. None of them could be bought by the average family. Other than that, there was also a beast that was obviously a rare species.
It was a four-eyed saber-toothed tiger.
And it wasn't of a low rank either. With this pet beast leading the way, the other pet beasts surrounded the white ape.
About a hundred feet behind the white ape were those people.
Two of them were dressed like hunters while the rest were dressed in unusual attire. They wore embroidered inner garments and animal hide armor on the outside. They were equipped with breastplates and leg scales. Other than the two hunters wielding longbows, the other three had swords strapped to their waists, looking like chivalrous warriors.
Among these five people, two of them were hunters who were hired by the other three to train in Mount Gua's forest. To put it bluntly, they were here to hunt and have fun. This was also a favorite pastime of many rich kids and chivalrous warriors. Once they arrived, they would hire local hunters and venture deep into the forest. Not only could they appreciate the local scenery, but they could also broaden their horizons and hunt for wild animals. If they came across any powerful beasts, they would capture or kill them, adding to their stories when they returned.
These three people came from different backgrounds. One was the son of a high-ranking official in Jade Dragon Kingdom and his father was the city lord of Jade Dragon Kingdom. Another was the youngest son of a chamber of commerce's president. His family was rich enough to rival a country. The last one was the son of a martial arts family.
Although blood contract cultivators were the main focus nowadays, there were also those who didn't cultivate spells and only focused on martial arts. This man's family was like that.
They formed blood contracts with beasts for one reason and that was to strengthen their blood vitality and martial arts. There weren't many blood contract warriors in Jade Dragon Kingdom and they were mainly cultivators. However, in other places, blood contract warriors were the majority. They even relied on their physical strength and martial arts to completely suppress blood contract cultivators.
"Young Master Fan, this white ape is strong and its fur is clean. It definitely doesn't look like an ordinary beast. Since your father, City Lord Fan's birthday is approaching, we should hunt this white ape back and present it to him. It'd be best if we can capture it alive, but if we can't, we can just skin it and bring it back." The one who spoke was the youngest son of the chamber of commerce's president. He was slightly plump with triangular eyes but his expression was one of sophistication. He was clearly trying to curry favor with the city lord's son.
"Haha, Zhao Xi, that's what I was thinking too. But this white ape isn't that small. I don't think we'll be able to capture it alive," Young Master Fan said helplessly.
"That might not be the case. Young masters, I happen to have some special knockout powder with me. It's specifically used to capture large beasts. Forget this one, we can knock out a few more of them. I'll act according to the situation later and use it on him. I guarantee this big guy will sleep for an entire day," one of the hunters said while patting his chest.
