Chapter 104

It could be said to be an opportunity point located at the very outermost periphery.

But for Meng Zhangqing, it was already enough.

Although his current strength was formidable, he did not believe he could defeat a level-three beast.

The gap between major realms was not so easily crossed.

Especially the super-qualitative transformation from Aperture Opening to Sea-Bypassing.

After roughly the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

Meng Zhangqing left the Wild Grass Plain and entered an ancient forest.

It was unusually quiet here.

Not a single strange sound, with even the wind only occasionally audible.

Beasts of the Mystic Clarity Realm were not few in number, yet he had ventured this deep without encountering a single one.

Then there could be only one answer.

Within this territory of roughly ten-plus li beneath his feet, a very powerful beast resided!

Beasts possess a very strong sense of territory.

They absolutely forbid other living creatures from moving freely within their domain.

"First, let's see how strong the beast at this pale-red opportunity point is."

In Meng Zhangqing's view, merely pale-red should not imply a level-three beast; otherwise, how many people could obtain it?

But to be safe, Meng Zhangqing would still prioritize caution and first scout the surroundings.

Moments later.

Meng Zhangqing stopped on a thick tree branch.

Not far away lay a wide valley, with sheer cliffs rising a thousand ren on both sides, extremely steep, with occasional loose stones rolling down, producing a thudding sound.

In the center of the valley, a beast lay crouching.

This beast was quite huge, nearly thirty meters in length, its entire body crimson and covered in scales and armor.

On its ferocious face grew two pairs of blood-red eyes.

"Iron-Armored Flame Lion."

Meng Zhangqing spoke the name of this beast.

Among the beast races, it was considered a race of formidable strength.

Not only was its defense terrifying, but it was also born mastering the power of flames, capable of spewing blazing fire to burn Shanhe.

"Fortunately, it has not reached level three."

Meng Zhangqing's expression relaxed slightly.

If it were a level-three beast, its internal beast power would transform into beast qi, much like the true qi of the human race.

Yet this Iron-Armored Flame Lion clearly did not possess that.

However, observing its aura, it was very strong as well, nearly at the limit of level two.

Equivalent to the peak of the human Aperture Opening Realm!

"It can be resolved, but..."

Gazing at that Iron-Armored Flame Lion, Meng Zhangqing suddenly had a whimsical thought.

The definition of a friend should not be limited solely to the human race, right?

Who says one cannot become friends with a beast?

Thinking thus, Meng Zhangqing stared at the Iron-Armored Flame Lion, and his Eye of Investigation activated accordingly.
