The Mountain's Demon's choice was even more extreme than Wen Yan had anticipated. He felt he'd undergone professional training, considered himself well-informed, but this time, he almost burst out laughing.
The preset conditions were: mountain-dwelling, ferocious, and powerful.
Among the creatures of the Divine Land's mountains, many inherently possessed nine orifices. To align with the Mountain's Demon and meet the preset conditions, herbivores were immediately ruled out—the Mountain's Demon was not vegetarian.
Creatures with scarce populations, or those already extinct, were also out of consideration. Advancing them later would be too difficult without any reference, and besides, anything that could go extinct must have had its own inherent problems.
In the end, the choices boiled down to the likes of tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, and pigs.
