Holding the detailed map of the Tianmu Mountains, generously sponsored by Yan Ruyu, Mo Tang and his companion left Huagu City and headed towards Tianmu Mountain.
However, since they had a month to spare, they weren't in a hurry. Whenever they passed a forest rich in spiritual energy, they would search for it to see if they could find anything.
After several large-scale shopping sprees, Mo Tang's advanced energy had increased by several thousand points, which was still more than enough in terms of expenditure.
In the
quiet forest, a stream flowed down from a distant mountain peak, like a small silver river, adorning the lush mountain range. The tranquil atmosphere filled the area around the stream with a sense of peace.
"Boom!"
The silence didn't last long. A dark shadow suddenly shot out of the forest, then crashed to the ground with even greater speed, leaving a long trail on the gravel around the stream before finally coming to a stop…
A figure with wings on its back stood in mid-air, looking at the figure below who had stubbornly stood up again, and said with some helplessness, "I only took a fruitless berry, you're a mountain king, don't be so stingy…"
Below, the figure stood up, revealing a naked, burly man with his upper body bare, his face still showing uncontrollable rage, even a hint of grievance.
"You're talking nonsense! That fruitless berry is a spiritual herb I've guarded for hundreds of years, and you stole it just as it ripened, and now you're telling me this?!"
It was only because he had been completely outmatched in the fight that the Wolf King was so wary of this freak who wasn't even a Dou Zong; otherwise, he would have already torn him to shreds, instead of wasting so much breath!
To be honest, as the king of this vast mountain range, the Wolf King is extremely powerful.
After all, he transformed into human form through his own abilities, which is no easy feat…
You see, when a magical beast transforms, it's like the birth of a high-grade elixir; a tribulation of lightning descends. If it survives, it successfully transforms; if it doesn't, it's struck dead by lightning, its life extinguished…
Of course, if one possesses a Transformation Pill, this dangerous step can be avoided.
However, the Wolf King clearly doesn't possess such a high-grade elixir. After all, a Transformation Pill is a seventh-grade elixir, especially in the magical beast world, considered one of the rarest elixirs. Obtaining one is incredibly difficult.
Since transforming into human form, he has lived a carefree life in this mountain range, with no one daring to cause him trouble, leading a very comfortable existence.
Until this day, two monstrous humans suddenly appeared, not only stealing the spiritual medicine he had painstakingly guarded for years, but also beating him up...
At this moment, the Wolf King felt utterly wronged, utterly aggrieved...
"Hand over the stuff, or I'll tear you apart today!"
The Wolf King stared at Mo Tang with bloodshot eyes, then stomped his foot on the ground, a huge crack spreading from beneath his feet, and his figure flashed to Mo Tang's side...
His sharp fingernails, like blades, slashed fiercely towards Mo Tang's throat, even cutting faint black marks into the space itself.
Seeing this, Mo Tang smiled, took a step, and almost instantly retreated more than ten steps. Under the silver light, three afterimages appeared, easily dodging the Wolf King's attack.
"You little bastard, all you do is pull these fancy
tricks. If you've got the guts, don't dodge!" Hearing the Wolf King's roar, Mo Tang's lips curled into a slight smile. He said calmly, "A dog is a dog, always forgetting its lesson..."
The next moment, as the wolf charged again, Mo Tang narrowed his eyes and delivered a simple
, unadorned punch. The Wolf King's face lit up with delight, thinking to himself, "Idiot."
It actually wanted to test its strength against his beastly body? It was
courting death! "Haha, die!"
Amidst the Wolf King's maniacal laughter, the two fists, one large and one small, collided without any skill.
Boom!
The Wolf King, who had been beaming with elation, instantly turned pale…
He felt an excruciating pain in his fist, followed by an overwhelming force that sent him flying through his arm, crashing heavily to the ground!
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Unable to accept this reality, the Wolf King lay motionless in the crater, staring blankly at his caved-in fist, his face filled with disbelief.
He was a magical beast…
how could he have lost a contest of strength to a human…
How could this be!
"Nothing is impossible!"
Mo Tang once again appeared above the opponent, looking down at the burly man lying at the bottom of the pit. With a thought, the original battle aura wings on his back disappeared, replaced by an even larger pair of wings, swirling with azure whirlwinds and silver lightning... The
previously incredulous Canglang King suddenly felt an oppressive force that made him submit from the depths of his soul...
At this moment, the Canglang King froze, his eyes widening as if he had seen a ghost, staring intently at the pair of wings on Mo Tang's back. After a moment, he let out a horrified scream: "Heavenly Phoenix?"
"You are a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?!"
This news was like a tidal wave crashing down on the Canglang King's mind...
As one of the three top families of magical beasts, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan truly stood at the pinnacle of magical beasts. Not to mention this ordinary Canglang, even the Canglang Clan in the Beast Domain was still one of the subordinate races of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan...
and a very insignificant little race at that...
*gulp!*
Swallowing hard, the Wolf King felt like dying.
"That...that..."
He opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Seeing the burly man's stunned expression, Mo Tang almost burst out laughing.
This guy was actually quite honest and simple-minded, which was quite nice.
"Alright, close your eyes a bit, or they'll pop out!" Mo Tang said teasingly.
"M-Master, I really didn't recognize you, please forgive me!"
Startled by Mo Tang's words, the Wolf King immediately realized what was happening and put on a fawning act, trotting over eagerly.
"...!"
Okay, Mo Tang took back his assessment.
This wasn't honesty; this was a complete idiot!
Aren't you a wolf? Where's your pride as a wolf? What's with this fawning act? Could it be due to impure bloodline?
