Chapter 908: Powerful Suction

Ye Liuyun and his companions can only deal with ferocious beasts of slightly lower realms; those of too high a realm are still beyond them.

They also don't waste the corpses of ferocious beasts; whoever kills them gets the loot. The beasts slain by Ghost Butterfly and Ice Demon Tiger naturally belong to Ye Liuyun.

He now doesn't have time to extract the True Essence Pill; after killing, they just toss it into the Storage Ring to deal with later.

During battle, Ye Liuyun often stops to swing the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, absorbing the souls of those ferocious beasts to arm his Yin Soul army.

By the time they reach the misty area, both the Yin Soul army, the cultivation‑absorbable True Essence Pills, and the food supplies are already fully harvested.

The three of them each take a Restorative Pill to recover strength, lest there be troublesome things in the mist.

Hundreds of ferocious beasts remain on the mountainside, eyeing them hungrily, yet none dare approach the misty zone.

"Prepare the Dragon Eagle!" Ye Liuyun tells Ling Shuang: "You see these ferocious beasts aren't afraid of Ghost Butterfly or Ice Demon Tiger, which shows that the Beast King above is stronger than those two."

Ling Shuang nods and immediately signals the Dragon Eagle stored in the Storage Ring.

Ye Liuyun does the same, notifying the Dragon Eagle to get ready, and also holds the Mourning Bell in his hand, just in case.

After they are all prepared, only a few of them step into the mist.

The mist above grows ever denser. The distance Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil can see cannot completely avoid attacks launched by Supreme Rank ferocious beasts.

So he simply lets Ghost Butterfly and Ice Demon Tiger go ahead, shielding the three of them from danger.

Inside the mist it is quiet; the voices of Xiao Tianqing and others cannot be heard by Ye Liuyun and his group.

"Boss, I suggest you also release the Magic Vine, lest we get ambushed," Yuan Datou also feels it's dangerous.

His visual range is far shorter than Ye Liuyun's. Ghost Butterfly and Ice Demon Tiger can only block the front; if an attack comes from the side, they won't be able to rescue in time.

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun agrees, takes out a Magic Vine seed, and lets it spread defensive vines around the four of them, moving forward slowly with them.

"Roar!"

Suddenly a roar of a Supreme Rank ferocious beast echoes—a golden tiger engulfed in flames bursts out, charging straight at Ice Demon Tiger.

Ice Demon Tiger's body radiates Ice Power, it draws back its legs, preparing to leap and counterattack.

Yet a vine shoots up from the ground, lashing straight at the golden tiger.

With a "Bang", the vine snaps open, halting the golden tiger instantly.

Before it can react, more vines erupt from the ground, entangling its four limbs while barbs pierce its body; simultaneously, the tips of the vines flare open like huge mouths, tearing into the golden tiger.

Inside each giant mouth of the vines are bristling spikes; each bite can strip away a piece of the tiger's flesh.

Moreover, the vines on the ground keep sprouting, wrapping the golden tiger's head and body in layer upon layer.

The flames on the golden tiger's body have not yet burned away the old vines when new vines coil around it again.

It is firmly fixed in place, unable to move at all, only able to keep roaring.

The Magic Vine takes the opportunity to absorb its True Essence. Soon the golden tiger's roar turns into a wail.

At this moment the golden tiger's outer skin is completely devoured by the Magic Vine, leaving only a blood‑stained skeleton. Its realm keeps dropping, losing the majestic aura it had when it first emerged.

"Supreme Rank double‑layer ferocious beast!" Yuan Datou finally realizes the tiger's realm and shouts. "It wasn't this golden tiger's roar before!" he alerts everyone.

The Beast King's roar he heard earlier differed from this tiger's; at least the Beast King was not a tiger‑type ferocious beast.

In other words, there are still Supreme Rank ferocious beasts within this mist.

"Roar, roar!"

As soon as he finishes speaking, several beast roars echo again!

"Ah! They're all Supreme Rank ferocious beasts!"

Ye Liuyun and the others are also shocked.

The beast roars they heard must have come from at least five or six Supreme Rank ferocious beasts, and they are of different species!

Ye Liuyun, fearing the Magic Vine couldn't contend with so many opponents, immediately takes out the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner and releases the Dragon Eagle. Ling Shuang also releases a Dragon Eagle to assist in defense.

However, when five different ferocious beasts charge forward, the Magic Vine doesn't miss a single one.

It uses the same method to entangle all those beasts, then absorbs the energy from their physical bodies and True Essence.

The Dragon Eagle, Ice Demon Tiger, and Ghost Butterfly become mere decorations, having no use at all.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun exchanges a glance with Ling Shuang, then recalls the Dragon Eagle and Ice Demon Tiger, leaving only Ghost Butterfly for defense.

Ghost Butterfly's soul is relatively strong; with the Magic Vine present, Ye Liuyun estimates that keeping it for defense is sufficient.

He also swings the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, drawing in the souls of six Supreme Rank ferocious beasts completely.

Inside the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, besides the Yin Souls of seven Foreign Tribe members, an Asura, and a dignitary from Yu Wang Mansion, there are already the Yin Souls of ten Supreme Rank ferocious beasts.

The highest‑realm one is the soul of a blood‑colored bat, at the Sixth Layer of the life‑and‑death realm.

Watching the Magic Vine eliminate these Supreme Rank beasts, Ye Liuyun's expression grows ever more severe.

"These beasts aren't the Beast King!" Yuan Datou is also a bit stunned: "Why are there so many Supreme Rank beasts here!"

Ye Liuyun confirms, "The Beast King is still out there!"

Ye Liuyun clearly remembers the Beast King's roar. He had thought at the time that the roar seemed to belong to a species he had never seen before.

Yet the ones before him are all tiger, wolf, bear‑type Supreme Rank beasts. He is more familiar with their cries.

As soon as their words fall, Ye Liuyun keenly notices the surrounding mist slowly drifting toward one direction.

This is thanks to his mastery of the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, making him more sensitive to air currents.

"The mist is moving!" Ye Liuyun immediately alerts Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou.

At the same time, the Magic Vine suddenly begins forming a shield around them.

After it envelops them, Ye Liuyun's group feels the vine shield sinking toward the ground.

Ye Liuyun, Ling Shuang and the others also notice the outside mist rapidly moving toward one direction.

A suction force drifts faintly.

Then the suction grows stronger, intensifying.

The ground erupts with flying sand and stones; everything is drawn by this suction, soaring in one direction.

The speed at which the Magic Vine sank was also clearly increasing, and it soon descended below the surface.

But as the suction kept growing, a layer of soil and rock on the surface was quickly sucked away, revealing the protective shield formed by the Magic Vine.
