"Awooo!"
Deep in the night, the occasional heart-palpitating roar of a beast could be heard in the quiet mountain forest. Darkness enveloped the entire Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. The temperature was much lower than during the day, and at the same time, the danger level was much higher.
Long Bufan sat cross-legged near a bonfire in the clearing, eating a few wild fruits he had picked. They tasted sweet and sour, but weren't enough to fill his stomach. He had no choice. He had already used up all the food he had brought with him. Since he hadn't caught any magical beasts, he could only pick some fruits to fill his stomach.
After eating the wild fruits, Long Bufan pulled out some sword orchids from the nearby grass and weaved several straw ropes that were more than ten meters long. He tied several iron cans that he picked up on the ropes and tied them to the surrounding trees along the open space, forming a circle. The open space in the middle was where he was going to rest tonight.
Under such a dangerous environment, he didn't dare relax and sleep. Instead, he chose a large tree to lean against and sit cross-legged before concentrating his mind to absorb the cold Yin energy into his body and guide it to fuse and refine with the Origin Energy within his body.
He knew his position very well. Perseverance, perseverance, these three were the only things he needed to pursue the path of martial arts.
Just as Long Bufan was immersed in his highly focused training, he suddenly heard the sound of bottles knocking against each other.
"Eh?!" Long Bufan's body shook, and he suddenly opened his eyes. His sharp gaze swept in the direction of the sound, his expression vigilant.
Long Bufan could vaguely make out a dark shadow quietly moving towards him. From the silhouette, he could instantly tell that it was a wild beast. Especially when he saw the two green eyes staring coldly at him.
The shadow drew closer and closer. With the help of the light from the bonfire, Long Bufan finally saw the beast's face clearly. He sucked in a breath of cold air. "I didn't expect that a magical beast would target me as soon as I entered the mountain range."
It was a bull-tendon beast with taut muscles and exposed veins. It was about the height of a man, with four thick limbs. Its long, curved horns glinted coldly under the moonlight. Upon closer inspection, the tips of its horns were stained with blood.
A third rank magical beast, a bull-tendon beast.
Long Bufan remembered that he had deboned such a Demonic Beast in the Ovens. Its rank corresponded to the realm of a martial artist. A third-rank Demonic Beast was comparable to a human martial artist in the Natal Opening Realm.
Magical beasts were different from ordinary wild beasts. They were blessed with a unique talent, and could rely on the beast cores in their bodies to absorb and refine the energy of heaven and earth. It could be said that every part of a magical beast was a treasure. Whether it was its fur, sharp teeth, claws, or internal organs and bones, they were all symbols of wealth. Many daring adventurers had made a fortune by capturing magical beasts.
"My beast taming technique is actually useless against it!" Long Bufan was surprised. He had just released his soul power to control the bull-tendon beast, but the wisp of soul power was bounced back. He had heard Elder Hiroshi say that wild magic beasts were different from magic beasts in captivity. They were wilder and harder to control.
Long Bufan didn't panic when the Beast Taming Technique didn't work. He flipped his hand and took out the White Jade Sword from his storage pouch. Its sharp body emitted a cold light.
"Aooo –!"
The bull-tendon beast's two bell-like nostrils spat out two streams of white air. After a wild roar, it lowered its head and charged towards Long Bufan with its long horns.
Long Bufan kicked off the ground with his right foot and jumped up. He twisted his body in midair at a tricky angle, and the White Jade Sword ruthlessly stabbed into the bull-tendon's back.
