Chapter 1761

Although Han Li couldn't see the changes in the Leopard-Lin Beast for the moment, he knew that anything that could make even him feel threatened now was absolutely extraordinary.

It was a pity that he didn't have the time to study it carefully now, so he could only wait until he left the Guanghan Realm to properly examine the beast's mutation.

Han Li thought to himself, communicated with the Leopard-Lin Beast with his divine sense, and after giving an order to keep watch, he sat cross-legged and began to meditate with his eyes slightly closed.

The magic power he had restored last time wasn't much to begin with, and after the fierce battle with the Jiao Chi people, the spiritual power in his body was even more depleted.

Thus, Han Li stayed in this tree hollow for seven days before he restored nearly ninety percent of his magic power.

According to his original intention, he naturally planned to restore all his magic power before leaving.

But at noon on the eighth day, a low roar from the Leopard-Lin Beast suddenly reached his ears.

Han Li was startled, instantly waking up from his meditation, and suddenly opened his eyes.

A burst of chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations appeared and disappeared nearby, and a faint, explosive sound came from very far away.

It seemed as if someone was fighting in the sky above.

Han Li's heart stirred, and without a word, he quietly released his divine sense to scan outside the tree hollow.

As a result, his expression couldn't help but become a bit strange.

He saw that above the dense forest, a fierce chase between fierce beasts was unfolding.

One large and one small, two strange beasts with vastly different sizes were fighting and chasing each other incessantly thousands of feet in the air.

The one in front was only about ten feet in size, but its fur was glowing with golden light, and its eyes were pitch black. It was actually the Dark Beast King that Han Li had seen being chased by its own kind in the Dark Beast Forest.

Only, this king-level Dark Beast was even more wretched now; not only was its fur scorched in many places, but its long, thin tail behind it was inexplicably missing more than half.

But even so, the beast's fierce aura didn't diminish in the slightest. While transforming into a golden shadow and shooting forward to escape, it kept turning its head to spray out golden wind blades.

The golden wind blades became several feet large the moment they left the golden Dark Beast's mouth, and after a flash, they reached the void dozens of feet behind, slashing down fiercely.

The other strange beast behind, however, ignored these golden wind blades, its body flashing with spiritual light, and it bounced these attacks away.

The strength of its defensive divine ability was truly shocking!

And this strange beast was over a hundred feet long, a mysterious monster with a pig's head and a dragon's body.

Its head was snow-white, its body glowing with blue light, and its aura was several times stronger than that of the golden Dark Beast.

No wonder the king-level Dark Beast didn't dare to fight head-on, only flying and fighting while fleeing.

Han Li put away the Leopard-Lin Beast, his body flashed with green light, and he held his breath.

Both beasts had their minds set on the powerful enemy in front of them and didn't notice Han Li below.

After a short while, the two, one after the other, swept across the sky above the dense forest and vanished into the distant horizon.

Han Li frowned slightly, the green light on his body fading back to normal.

"Why did this king-level Dark Beast run here too!"

He was naturally a bit surprised in his heart.

However, now he didn't have much fear of the two beasts, but naturally, he wouldn't look for big trouble for himself for no reason, which was why he had hidden himself just now.

Although the appearance of the king-level Dark Beast was a bit sudden, since it didn't have much to do with him, Han Li didn't think about it anymore.

After this disturbance, he didn't intend to continue staying here.

After all, the aura left behind by the two beasts when they passed through the dense forest was extremely strong, and it would easily attract other fierce beasts in the nearby area.

Fortunately, the direction the two beasts were chasing was not the same as where he was going, so there was no need for too much concern.

After he removed the barrier at the entrance, he transformed into a green rainbow and flew out of the tree hollow, continuing on his way.

Within the escape light, he held a top-tier spirit stone in each hand, continuously absorbing the pure spiritual energy within them.

He believed that even without special meditation, it wouldn't be long before he could fully replenish the magic power in his body.

Han Li traveled day and night, and this journey took a full month.

On the way, except for encountering some blind low-tier fierce beasts, he didn't run into any trouble or encounter other alien teams.

He was naturally very happy.

On this day, within the escape light, Han Li saw a huge lake appearing in the distance, one that couldn't be seen to the end at a glance.

The lake was as blue as the sea, and the sky was filled with dark clouds, a charming scene of wind and sunshine.

Seeing this lake, a smile appeared on the corner of Han Li's mouth, and at the same time, he carefully released his divine sense to scan the nearby lake surface.

If the map wasn't marked wrong, his destination for this trip would be reached immediately.

After a moment, he withdrew his divine sense.

The sound of air being torn apart rang out, and the green rainbow he had transformed into dived into the sky above the lake, shooting toward the deeper parts.

Several hours later, Han Li's expression changed slightly.

The size of this lake was far beyond his original imagination; with his terrifying escape speed and such a long time, the surroundings were still the same boundless scene.

If it weren't for the fact that the map he was holding hadn't shown any errors along the way, he would have thought he had mistakenly entered some nameless sea.

What made Han Li even more uneasy was that since entering this lake, except for some ordinary fish at the bottom of the lake, he rarely saw other spiritual beasts.

Occasionally, there were a few, but they were all very low-tier and good at hiding, all hiding in concealed places at the bottom of the lake, motionless.

If it weren't for his divine sense being extraordinarily powerful, he really wouldn't have been able to easily discover their traces.

Han Li's eyes flickered, his vigilance rose, and his mind turned rapidly.

He was no stranger to this situation; it was nine times out of ten that an extremely powerful fierce beast was entrenched in the lake, which was why other low-tier beasts were scared away.

Although the Stone Cocoon clan had explained clearly that this area was very safe and there were no powerful fierce beasts.

But that was what was said when the Guanghan Realm opened last time. After so many years, it wouldn't be strange at all if this place had been occupied by some other powerful fierce beast.

Thinking this way, he couldn't help but hesitate a bit.

Whether it was still worth taking this risk for some refining materials of the Stone Cocoon clan needed to be recalculated.

After all, even if he didn't make this trip, Duan Wen Tianren had said he would put in a good word for the super teleportation array matter.

With this person's status in the Stone Cocoon clan, he shouldn't be speaking empty words. But he didn't fear ten thousand, he feared the 'what if'.

And he had traveled so long, dusty and tired, to reach this place; to turn around and leave immediately like this, he was naturally unwilling.

Han Li thought about this with an uncertain expression, and his escape speed slowed down a lot without him realizing it.

Just then, at the end of the lake surface in the distance, a black dot appeared, which then grew larger and larger, actually transforming into a giant lake island.

Seeing this, Han Li narrowed his eyes and simply stopped his escape light, looking into the distance.

It looked like this island was over a thousand miles wide, and there were two mountain peaks, one high and one low, connected side by side.

The higher mountain peak was over ten thousand feet tall, its surface gray and dusty, and most of the peak was barren. The lower mountain peak was three or four thousand feet tall, but it was lush green and densely covered with trees.

"It seems this is the place!" Han Li muttered twice, his eyes falling quickly onto the gray mountain peak, staring at it intently.

The shape of this island was almost exactly the same as recorded on the map, and the rare materials mentioned by the Stone Cocoon clan were precisely a unique ore on the tall mountain peak.

This ore was only produced in the Guanghan Realm and seemed quite important to this clan.

Just as Han Li was watching intently, his expression suddenly changed, and he flicked a sleeve toward the lake below.

A small green sword flashed out.

Almost at the same time, the lake surface, which had seemed as calm as a mirror below, suddenly let out a 'Boom', and a water column sprayed out, shooting straight toward Han Li.

Green light flashed, and the water column was split in two by the sword light transformed by the small sword.

A strange 'Quack' sound rang out, and a strange fish hiding in the water column was also slashed in two by the sword light, scattering a lot of green blood as it fell toward the lake surface.

Han Li lowered his head, his eyes flashing with blue light, and he saw the appearance of the strange fish clearly.

This fish was only about a foot long, but it was emerald green, with wings on its back, and upon closer inspection, its head resembled a poisonous snake, and there seemed to be a pair of slender claws on its belly that were almost impossible to see.

Han Li's eyelids twitched, and he vaguely felt as if he had heard of this kind of strange fish somewhere, but for a moment, he couldn't immediately recall the relevant details.

But the next moment, a scene that gave him a big fright appeared.

The moment the strange fish's corpse fell into the lake, within a radius of several miles, ten thousand sounds rang out in unison.

Water columns sprayed out from the lake surface one after another; looking at it, it was dense and numerous, and there was no telling how many there were.

After the water columns dispersed, strange fish of various sizes all hovered in the low air, staring at Han Li with eyes that carried not the slightest emotion.

These strange fish were the same shape as the one that had died, but their bodies were colorful, and they faintly emitted strange, brilliant spiritual light, appearing mysterious and extraordinary.

"Flying Rainbow Fish"

Witnessing this scene, Han Li let out a cry of shock, finally recalling the origin of these strange fish.

Back when he was in the Holy City of the Tianpeng clan, he had occasionally seen records about this fish in a very ancient classic.

Don't let the name of this strange fish sound very pleasant; in ancient times, when the alien races living in the sea mentioned the name of this fish, it was with a mix of love and hate.

What they loved was that the demon core of this strange fish was the main ingredient for an extremely rare ancient pill, the "Seven-Colored Pill".

And the Seven-Colored Pill was a special pill used specifically for raising ancient spirit insects.

It is said that after spirit insects frequently take it, not only can they be ripened in advance, but even after they are mature, they have a certain chance of mutating and advancing again. In ancient times, it was extremely rare.

What they hated was that this strange fish was not only extremely poisonous itself, and the poison it sprayed was almost unstoppable by anything, but it also always moved in groups. As long as you encountered one, there would be at least thousands, or even tens of thousands.

For a lone person to encounter this school of fish, unless they possessed some special divine ability, nine times out of ten, they would only end up falling and dying.

However, this kind of strange fish had already gone extinct in ancient times, and only some records remained in the ancient classics of some tribes.

Han Li didn't expect that he would be able to see this kind of strange fish here in the Guanghan Realm today.

He also suddenly realized why the medium and high-tier beasts with spiritual nature in the lake had all vanished. Most likely, they had either been poisoned and swallowed by these Flying Rainbow Fish, or they had been scared away long ago.
