Chapter 1715: Dark Beast King

Hearing Han Li's words, Shi Kun was stunned, but immediately said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist's supernatural powers are definitely not below mine and Fairy Liu's, so let's stop flattering each other and talk about business. If we walk for another day or two, we will truly enter the depths of the Dark Beast Forest. Most of the Dark Beasts live there. We must be twelve times more careful to pass through this area."

"When passing through the center of the Dark Beast Forest, don't even think about killing any lone Dark Beasts. Our restrictions are fine against ordinary Dark Beasts, but when facing high-level Three-Eyed Dark Beasts, we definitely can't hide from their senses once we make a move. And in the depths of the forest, we can't release our spiritual sense to search the entire area first. Once we start fighting, the danger is imaginable," Liu Shui'er also said with a solemn voice.

"Even if we are forced to make a move, we can't drag it out for so long like now. The three of us must strike together and strive to kill the opponent instantly to minimize the risk," Shi Kun thought for a moment and added.

"Hmm. With the combined strength of the three of us, if we only face one ordinary Dark Beast, killing it instantly is not too difficult. But if we encounter a high-level Dark Beast, it's hard to say," Han Li touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"If we are really targeted by a high-level Dark Beast, I am afraid our combined attack technique of Magneto-Optical Light will come in handy," Liu Shui'er said with a light smile.

"Not bad! I almost forgot this secret technique. With this means, we don't need to fear even a lone high-level Dark Beast," Shi Kun's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and laughed.

"However, unless it is a last resort, this supernatural power can only be used as a last resort. I don't want to be chased by a large number of high-level Dark Beasts at the same time," Han Li shook his head, still somewhat worried.

"Rest assured. Brother Shi and I naturally know this. Since both I and Fellow Daoist have obtained Dark Beast skins, let's transform and officially set off. It's best to keep some distance between us. In case we are too conspicuous if we are together," Liu Shui'er suggested.

"Fairy Liu's words make sense. Then Shi will go first," Shi Kun replied with a grin.

Then he formed seals with one hand, and the black Dark Beast skin appeared on his body, and a ball of silver light flew out from his sleeve and sank into the beast skin.

The big man rolled and immediately turned into a black Dark Beast, using his four limbs to shoot out like a crossbow.

Han Li and Liu Shui'er saw this and didn't hesitate to perform the same spell, transforming into two other black Dark Beasts, splitting left and right, and chasing after him.

During the flight, the three of them urged their treasures to cover their figures again.

In this way, in this place where the shadows of trees were blurry, it was harder than ascending to heaven to discover the traces of the three.

On the subsequent journey, whenever Han Li and the others discovered any traces of exotic beasts or any wind or grass movement, they immediately bypassed them silently and never contacted other exotic beasts at all.

In the first few days, the number of Dark Beasts encountered was not too many, but these Dark Beasts rarely appeared alone, mostly acting in pairs or threes.

After another seven or eight days, they were truly in the central area of the forest, and some Dark Beasts actually began to appear in groups of five or six, or even over a dozen.

This made Han Li and the others feel slightly shocked, and they became even more careful.

Fortunately, the three of them had magical escape techniques, and their magic power was far superior to ordinary Dark Beasts, so there were no slips.

In addition, I don't know if they were lucky or if something unexpected happened in the Dark Beast Forest. They didn't encounter any of the legendary high-level Three-Eyed Dark Beasts along the way, allowing them to sneak into the very center of the Dark Beast Forest in one breath.

If they could be so smooth and safe for the next three or four days, they could pass through the most dangerous section of the Dark Beast Forest and breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Han Li and the others not only didn't feel relaxed, but their faces became even more solemn.

All three were people with extraordinary experience, not knowing how many times they had seen things fall short of success, and the absence of high-level Dark Beasts in this Dark Beast Forest made them happy, but they were also muttering in their hearts.

And going further forward, ordinary Dark Beasts became sparse, and only over a dozen were encountered in the next two days.

Han Li and the others felt a chill in their hearts and became even more careful.

Han Li moved rapidly in the forest like a ghost. Even though there was a towering tree in front of him, the green shadow he transformed into just pounced and passed through it like a formless body, without making a sound.

Such a strange escape technique naturally made the escape speed unusually fast.

But he frowned, blue light flashing in his eyes, and his gaze scanned the surroundings continuously.

Since he didn't dare to release his spiritual sense in the center of the forest, he could only rely on the Clear Spirit Eye supernatural power to discover those Dark Beasts and avoid them early.

I don't know what methods Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun used, but whenever Dark Beasts appeared, the two's avoidance actions were not slower than his at all.

This made Han Li feel very surprised.

Did these two cultivate profound five-sense supernatural powers like him, or did they do this with the help of some unknown treasure?

This made him look at these two with even more respect.

Thinking about this, Han Li turned his gaze and looked left and right.

With the Spirit Eye supernatural power, he could see clearly. The Dark Beasts transformed by Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun were moving forward unusually fast at a distance of over a hundred feet from him.

Seeing that these two had no problems, his eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he withdrew his gaze again.

But just then, a change occurred!

From the direction they were moving, a golden shadow suddenly shot out from the darkness ahead.

With just a flash, it crossed a distance of dozens of feet and hit Shi Kun, who was hiding, head-on.

Even though Shi Kun was shocked and wanted to avoid it, he was caught off guard and the opponent was too fast, so he couldn't avoid it at all.

He could only ignore the concealment, and yellow light flashed on his body, injecting magic power into his protective spiritual energy.

A loud "boom" sounded.

As golden light and yellow light intertwined, the golden shadow stumbled back a few steps, but immediately stabilized its figure with a sway.

And the Dark Beast transformed by Shi Kun was sent flying backward, fiercely hitting a giant tree dozens of feet away, smashing the giant wood that could only be hugged by several people into two sections, before finally stopping.

But the Dark Beast transformed by the big man was half-crawling in the broken wood, with a face of pain, and couldn't stand up for a while.

Han Li and the nearby cloaked woman saw this, and their faces changed suddenly.

Shi Kun's body was strong, which they had both witnessed. But being hit accidentally by that golden shadow, he became so embarrassed. That golden shadow must be terrifying to the extreme.

Han Li's blue light flashed, and he saw the true face of the golden shadow clearly.

As a result, he was shocked!

The original face of the golden shadow was a Dark Beast only a foot long, but its fur was shimmering with gold, and its eyes were as black as ink.

It was actually the legendary King-level Dark Beast!

No way! Before setting off, he had muttered that it was impossible to be so coincidental to run into a King-level Dark Beast. As a result, now that the Three-Eyed high-level Dark Beasts hadn't been encountered, he had run into the most terrifying existence in this forest. Although he didn't know the supernatural powers of this beast, it must definitely be above the Saint level.

Han Li's heart sank, his figure stopped in the distance, his eyes staring fixedly at this golden Dark Beast, not daring to blink.

At the same time, several exotic treasures in his body began to vibrate slightly under the induction of his mind.

The Dark Beast transformed by Liu Shui'er nearby also stopped on a branch as thick as a bowl, staring at the golden Dark Beast like a great enemy.

This King-level Dark Beast was clearly dizzy from the unexpected Shi Kun, shook its head, and then its fierce light flashed, staring at Shi Kun who couldn't get up for a while.

Its two front limbs moved, and "swish" sounds were heard, and sharp claw lights appeared on the front, looking like it was about to attack the big man immediately.

Han Li and Liu Shui'er witnessed this scene, and their hearts sank, the thought of whether to help or not appearing in their hearts at the same time.

Clearly, the two of them hadn't been discovered by this King-level Dark Beast yet. If they just slipped away quietly, they might be able to retreat unscathed. Otherwise, even if the three joined forces, they could barely hold off the King-level Dark Beast, but if the opponent gave a warning call, their lives would definitely be in danger.

But if they failed to complete the mission, and Shi Kun fell in the Dark Beast Forest, there was no need to think about it. Even if they retreated from the Vast Cold Realm, they would definitely not have a good ending when facing Cai Liuying and Duan Wen Tianren.

However, these things were extremely headache-inducing, but they were also things for later. Now, naturally, they had to save their own lives first.

Han Li figured out the pros and cons in almost a moment, and his gaze swept toward the cloaked woman rapidly.

But he found that the Dark Beast transformed by Liu Shui'er had a slightly hunched body, and faint white light began to appear on its body, looking like it was going to strike without hesitation.

This surprised him, and a trace of thoughtful expression flashed in the depths of his eyes.

However, he didn't intend to take the risk of falling into the trap like this woman. He took a deep breath, and the Dark Beast he transformed into was about to shoot backward.

But just then, something that made his eyes almost fall out appeared.

That golden Dark Beast, which was clearly about to strike in the next moment, suddenly moved its ears, its expression changed, and then the fierce light in its eyes turned into an expression of extreme shock and anger in an instant.

It let out a low growl, its body moved, and it turned into a golden shadow again, shooting out, and vanished into the trees on one side in a few flashes.
