Chapter 213 - 188: Got the Immortal Bone, Poked a Hornets’ Nest_1

The Dao Book acted up again, radiating a hazy glow as it sent out a longing feeling.

Lu Yan moved in the direction dictated by the Dao Book.

Within the Crimson Jade Flower Sea, there weren’t many Alien Beasts. Lu Yan easily avoided the few that were active at night.

After a while, Lu Yan stopped in front of a cliff.

Below the cliff was a cave. According to the Dao Book, the Dao Food was located within this cave.

However, outside of the cave, a gigantic Alien Beast lay sprawled out.

A snow-white tiger of a massive size, its eyes half-closed, emitted a chilling aura.

"A third-level Monster King."

Lu Yan’s face slightly changed.

If he forced his way into the cave to take the Dao Food, it would definitely startle this Monster King and, in doing so, alert other Monster Kings.

After pondering for a bit, Lu Yan quietly retreated.

There should be more than one piece of Dao Food here. It was unnecessary to risk his life at this spot, he would look for the others.

After bypassing the cliff and traveling another five or six miles, the Dao Book reacted again.

Guided by the Dao Book, Lu Yan arrived in a hilly area.

He immediately noticed two Alien Beasts.

One was a giant red ape, which he had encountered before; it was a third-level Monster King.

The other resembled an Alien Beast like a hunting dog.

Both Alien Beasts lay there quietly.

And the Dao Food, or to be more precise, the Immortal Bone, was inside the dog-like Alien Beast.

"After last time’s incident, have these Monster Kings become so cautious that each piece of Immortal Bone is guarded by a Monster King?"

Lu Yan pondered.

Under these circumstances, he would inevitably alarm the Monster King.

Inspired, Lu Yan came up with a plan. His Avatar with Vajra Indestructible Skill materialized and quietly approached the dog-like Alien Beast.

Of course, before manifesting the Avatar with Vajra Indestructible Skill, he, as expected, left half an ear next to the Dao Book.

The best skill to use would have been Cloud Walk Avatar.

Regrettably, his Cloud Walk Avatar was depleted in the battle at Baiyue City and hadn’t had time to recover yet.

He had to use other Avatars.

As the Avatar with Vajra Indestructible Skill got close to the dog-like Alien Beast, the red Giant Ape sensed something and opened its eyes.

The Avatar of the Vajra Indestructible Skill turned and ran.

Roar!

The red Giant Ape gave a low growl and chased after the Avatar of the Vajra Indestructible Skill.

The Avatar of the Vajra Indestructible Skill sprinted with all its might, racing out of the Crimson Jade Flower Sea. The red Giant Ape pursued vigorously and soon disappeared into the darkness.

"The intelligence of a third-level Monster King is still lower than a human’s. It was fooled away so easily."

Lu Yan chuckled, drawing his blade and dashing towards the dog-like Alien Beast.

The previous roar of the red Giant Ape had already startled the dog-like Alien Beast. It was crouching low, its gaze sweeping in all directions, prepared to defend itself.

But its strength was far inferior to Lu Yan’s.

In the darkness, a flash of the knife, and the dog’s head hit the ground.

Lu Yan dug out a pure white rib from the dog-like Beast’s ribs.

An Immortal Bone.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yan called out the Dao Book and swallowed the Immortal Bone in one gulp.

After eating the Immortal Bone, he quickly dug a hole, buried the dog-like Alien Beast’s body, and then rushed towards the outside of Kunwu Mountain.

More haste, Less speed. One piece should be enough. If he were greedier, he might end up burying himself here.

He quickly left the Crimson Jade Flower Sea, then concealed his aura, avoiding Alien Beasts and carefully evacuated.

Not long after Lu Yan left, there was a long howl in the sky. A huge blood-red eagle circled down and landed at the place where the dog-like Alien Beast’s body was buried. The eagle’s sharp eyes swept over the ground, then with a flap of its wings, the wind started gusting, blowing the dirt away, revealing the body of the dog-like Alien Beast. Upon seeing the dog-like Alien Beast’s rib being dug out, the blood-red eagle let out an angry howl and soared upwards.

Caw!

Caw!

The eagle’s howl echoed far and wide, startling the Alien Beasts within dozens of miles.

Roar!

Roar!

Inside Kunwu Mountain, a large number of Alien Beasts woke up, bellowing, seemingly in conversation with the red eagle.

Then, many flying Alien Beasts ascended to the skies, circling and inspecting.

"Damn, I’ve been discovered," Lu Yan, who had stopped on a large tree, evaded the gaze of a flying Alien Beast above his head. When that beast flew off into the distance, he continued on his journey. But he hadn’t traveled more than a hundred meters when he stopped again, hiding himself.

Ahead of him, several Alien Beasts were running past, their eyes scanning the surroundings.

"All the Alien Beasts in Kunwu Mountain have been awakened and are searching for intruders. If this continues, it will be hard for me to leave Kunwu Mountain without being discovered. I’d better find a hidden place to hide first."

Scanning his gaze, Lu Yan noticed not far away a pile of stacked boulders forming a small enclosed space due to their overlapping arrangement. The space was extremely concealed.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yan dashed a few steps and dove into the pile of boulders.

The boulders formed something similar to a cave underneath, big enough to conceal a few people. As it was night, and the lighting was dim, there was no way to spot Lu Yan hiding within.

Roar!

Not long after, Lu Yan heard several angry roars that shook the forest.

Those were definitely the roars of third-level Monster Kings.

Lu Yan felt a headache coming on.

He had thought this journey would go smoothly, but he ended up stirring up a hornet’s nest.

Luckily, he had managed to get an Immortal Bone in the end. At this point, the Dao Book had already begun refining it and Lu Yan started channeling his energy into an Avatar with a first-rate knife technique.

This knife technique improved rapidly.

After a moment, Lu Yan shook slightly.

"The Avatar of Vajra Indestructible Skill has been killed," Lu Yan thought to himself.

Luckily, he had left half an ear, which would allow him to recover later.

Lu Yan hid among the pile of boulders, waiting quietly.

Half a day later, the first top-tier knife technique had achieved the Unity of Man and Martial Arts.

With this, eight top-tier knife techniques had achieved the Unity of Man and Martial Arts.

Only one remained.

The final one, still improving.

Lu Yan looked forward with anticipation.

Whether these nine top-tier knife techniques could ultimately be integrated into the supreme knife technique would soon become apparent.

The ninth knife technique kept improving, from Small Success, Integration, Mastery, Reaching the Peak of Perfection, to Transcendence...

Not long after, the sky was already bright.

However, the alien beasts outside didn’t stop at all and were still looking around.

At this time, Lu Yan heard a rustling sound from behind, turned his head and saw a large snake with flower patterns all over its body, as thick as his arm, crawl into the pile of rocks.

When Lu Yan saw the snake, the snake saw Lu Yan.

An eyeball contest between them.

The big snake turned and fled, its body writhed frantically. With a whoosh, it slithered out over ten meters.

Lu Yan’s eyes turned cold. He pushed off with his feet, and pounced like a released arrow. He jumped out of the rocks pile, drew his blade, and cut the large snake into two halves. With another stroke, he split the snake’s head in half.

Eh?

Lu Yan saw that a hundred meters away, a wild boar was glaring at him. It let out a low growl, turned, and took off.

Whoosh!

Deploying the Cloud Walk, Lu Yan dashed out like lightning, took a leap, caught up with the wild boar, and beheaded it with one stroke.

Splash!

On a large tree, some large birds took off into the sky, shrieking sharply.

"This is troublesome."

Lu Yan felt a headache, turned, and dashed towards the exterior of Kunwu Mountain.

Since he had been discovered, he could only run first.

Above his head, several large birds circled, eyeing Lu Yan.

Drawing his bow and setting an arrow, Lu Yan shot one into the sky, piercing through a large bird.

The other two birds flew higher in fright, circling hundreds of meters up in the sky.

He activated his bone strength and ran at full speed, jumping and crossing several hundred meters, rushing toward the outside of Kunwu Mountain.

However, before he could run ten miles, a sharp roar came from the sky.

A giant blood-colored eagle swooped down, its wings spread out, over twenty meters wide, casting a large shadow.

Whoosh!

Lu Yan immediately shot an arrow at the blood-colored giant eagle.

The arrow flew towards the sky, creating a wave of gas.

The blood-colored giant eagle didn’t dodge or evade, rapidly fanning its wings and causing a violent wind, trying to blow the arrow off its course.

But it obviously underestimated Lu Yan.

The arrow went straight into the wind, its direction hadn’t changed, even its speed did not change much, shooting straight at the blood-colored giant eagle’s eyes.

At the critical moment, the blood-colored giant eagle covered its head with its wings as if creating a shield.

There was a thump.

The blood-colored giant eagle’s wings, which were many times tougher than steel, were pierced through. Feathers flew in all directions, and blood flowed freely.

Ga!

The blood-colored giant eagle let out an angry roar, and the Energy of Earth Blood in the sky quickly gathered towards it. A blood-colored glow covered the eagle’s body.

With a quiver of its wings, the arrow was shaken off and shattered into pieces.

The blood-colored giant eagle, with murder in its eyes, stared at Lu Yan, then dived down again.

Lu Yan shot another arrow.

This time, the blood-colored giant eagle didn’t dare to take it head-on, its wings flapping, it quickly slid sideways to avoid the arrow, then dived down again. When it was a few dozen meters away Lu Yan, it flapped its wings and shot out ten feathers like arrows at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan dodged using his movement technique, but the blood-colored giant eagle took the opportunity to pounce, its huge claws reaching for Lu Yan.

Lu Yan put away his horn bow, held the Red Blood Blade in his hand, and sliced.

There was a clang.

The Red Blood Blade struck the talon, as if two divine weapons were clashing against each other.

Lu Yan felt a surge of immense force, pushing him two steps back. Whereas the blood-colored giant eagle, with its massive body, was knocked back several meters and hit a tree, breaking it.

"Such strong power, this blood-colored giant eagle is comparable to a First-level Master. But if we were to talk about brute strength, it surpasses a human First-level Master."

Lu Yan thought to himself.

Of course, the physical strength of the alien beasts is naturally greater, and they have the boost from the Energy of Earth Blood.

But alien beasts lack martial arts. Humans have martial arts as a boost. In a battle outside the Blood Land Vein, martial cultivators of the same level usually have the upper hand.

But according to some ancient records.

As the alien beasts become stronger, they may awaken some innate skills.

Once they awaken these innate skills, the strength of alien beasts will skyrocket.

No one can be sure where these innate skills of the alien beasts come from.

Are they innate and contained in the bloodline, or are they obtained from the Energy of Earth Blood? There are various speculations.

Ga!

The blood-colored giant eagle roared, its wings flapped, and it soared into the sky.

Lu Yan didn’t want to entangle with it, turned and ran. After a few leaps, he was already a kilometer away.

However, the blood-colored giant eagle was significantly faster than Lu Yan. It chased after Lu Yan, swooping down from the sky towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan didn’t confront the eagle, but dodged its highlighted talons and continued to run outward.

Now he needed time, the ninth top-tier knife technique would soon achieve the Unity of Man and Martial Arts.

Roar!

At this moment, the ground was shaking.

Ahead of him, a giant beast was running at a pace of hundred meters per step.

In the last leap, it punched at Lu Yan while in mid-air.

It was the red giant ape.
