Chapter 897: The Mysterious Woman

Deep within the dense forest mountain range, the Golden Winged Lion King was feeding, as it was the king of the magical beasts of the dense forest mountain range.

Every morning when it woke up, the entrance to the Golden Winged Lion King's cave would be piled high with tributes offered by other magical beasts.

This was also the only time Su Chen and his group could observe the Golden Winged Lion King from a close distance.

Su Chen and his group had found a spot opposite the entrance of the Golden Winged Lion King's cave the previous night, preparing to observe the Golden Winged Lion King up close.

In the early morning, a loud roar broke the tranquility of the dense forest mountain range.

The Golden Winged Lion King walked out from the cave entrance; its shimmering golden fur was like golden armor, wrapping around the surface of its body.

A pair of strong and powerful wings had feathers that looked as if they had been brushed with a layer of golden paint. On its golden lion head, there were actually three eyes. The flapping of its wings was like a tornado, and its four limbs were as sturdy as great mountains; with every step it took, the entire dense forest mountain range would tremble.

Looking at the food at the entrance, the Golden Winged Lion King began to eat heartily.

"Is this the Golden Winged Lion King?"

Looking at the powerful Golden Winged Lion King before him, Su Chen was just about to use his spiritual power to sense the strength of the Golden Winged Lion when Baishitong hurriedly stopped him.

"What are you doing! Do you want to get us killed?"

"You can sense her, but do you think she can't sense you?"

Su Chen also hurriedly retracted his spiritual power, and Huoyan and Shuimiao also hurriedly set up a barrier.

Fortunately, Baishitong had stopped Su Chen in time; otherwise, if they had attracted the attention of the Golden Winged Lion King, it was feared that not a single person would have been able to leave.

Just at this moment, a woman traveling on a sword suddenly appeared in the sky.

The woman in the sky was dressed in snow-white long robes, holding a sword that was entirely cyan in color, with long jet-black hair paired with noble golden headwear, a curvaceous figure, and a beautiful, moving face.

Even Su Chen, who had seen countless people, felt his heartbeat accelerate.

The woman flew directly on her sword to the space above the Golden Winged Lion King's cave, remaining calm and composed even when facing such a powerful Golden Winged Lion King.

"Who are you? What advice do you have for coming to this King's territory?"

This Golden Winged Lion King could actually speak, which left Su Chen stunned.

Because of its long-term cultivation, the Golden Winged Lion King had now gained human-like intelligence, so it was only natural that it could speak.

Perhaps if this Golden Winged Lion King cultivated for another thousand years, it would be able to transform into human form.

A magical beast that had opened its spiritual wisdom was different from other magical beasts that only knew how to roar.

"I have come today for the Golden Stone, and I hope the Golden Winged Lion King can grant my request," the woman said with an indifferent expression.

"The Golden Stone? I, the Golden Winged Lion King, only manage to cultivate one Golden Stone every thousand years. You say you want it, so I should just give it to you? What a joke."

The Golden Winged Lion King did not give the mysterious woman a pleasant look either.

"Of course, I won't take it for free. I can exchange it with this Seventh-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill I have in my hand."

Seeing the Seventh-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill in the woman's hand, the Golden Winged Lion King was stunned.

"This woman can actually obtain a Marrow-Cleansing Pill? This is a Seventh-Grade pill! If a magical beast eats it, it can directly transform into human form."

At this moment, Su Chen was puzzled.

"Magical beasts' bodies are more powerful than humans'. Logically speaking, isn't it better to be a magical beast? Why would they want to transform into human form?"

Baishitong rolled his eyes at Su Chen.

"I don't even disdain to answer this question of yours. Shuimiao, you answer him."

"Little brother, you don't know. Although magical beasts have powerful bodies, they cannot cultivate human techniques, and their cultivation speed is much slower than humans'. As long as they can transform into human form, their cultivation speed will rise in a straight line."

Su Chen suddenly realized.

"Then is this Marrow-Cleansing Pill difficult to refine?"

"Currently, only a Pill King can refine a Seventh-Grade pill, and the success rate is only twenty percent. Not to mention the precious materials consumed each time, just this success rate alone is enough to give people a headache."

The Golden Winged Lion King also knew how hard-won this Marrow-Cleansing Pill was.

But it also did not want to hand over its Golden Stone; if it handed it over, its last thousand years of cultivation would have been in vain.

The Golden Winged Lion King now had only one thought: it also wanted the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, and this woman's strength was not weak; she was a top-tier supplement.

Accompanied by a loud roar from the Golden Winged Lion King, all the magical beasts began to appear.

"Woman, I tell you, today I want the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, and I also want your life."

After saying this, the Golden Winged Lion King flapped its huge golden wings, opened its bloody mouth, and charged toward the mysterious woman.

"I had long heard that magical beasts are cunning and do not speak of morality. Seeing it today, it is indeed so."

Seeing the Golden Winged Lion King charging over aggressively, the woman also hurriedly took out her sword, preparing for defense.

A burst of sparks flashed as the Golden Winged Lion King's claws collided violently with the woman's precious sword.

The woman also swung her sword, and three intense tornadoes suddenly appeared in the sky.

The Golden Winged Lion King spat out golden flames from its mouth. Under the scorching of the golden flames, a layer of golden armor actually appeared on the Golden Winged Lion King's body.

"Oh no, this woman might be at a disadvantage!"
