Chapter 87: Fighting Ancient Creatures, a Feast of Gluttony!

"Ox Demon, guard this place!"

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, then had Ox Demon guard beside this Kongjianliefeng; he intended to go inside and take a look.

Although this was in the depths of the Qinling, which could be considered his own territory, because of the great changes in heaven and earth, this was no longer the location of his original lair, and according to Fire Leopard, there might be other Beasts lurking nearby.

Therefore, he felt it was very necessary to be careful.

"Don't worry, Boss. Before you come out, I will not retreat half a step!"

"Good!"

As the words fell, Lu Chuan plunged directly into this Kongjianliefeng, naturally in a state of Invisibility.

He had studied the methods of Restriction within those few scrolls, so he knew that this Kongjianliefeng was only exposed because the surrounding seals had shattered; presumably, the ancient creatures inside were sealed in the same way.

Being careful is never wrong.

"This place really... has a kind of primordial aura!"

Lu Chuan swam through it while invisible for a while and saw many plants he had never heard of, especially the giant elephant in the distance that was taller than a three-story building,

a gray wolf with fur like steel needles and an equally massive physique, and even a saber-toothed tiger he had seen before in the Kongjianliefeng over at Kunlun Mountain.

These fierce and massive ancient Beasts were everywhere here.

"First... go find that gray wolf to test things out."

After pondering for a while, Lu Chuan continued to stay invisible and quietly swam toward the gray wolf not far away.

This gray wolf looked less than ten meters tall, its body was streamlined, and it moved like the wind, but it looked like the weakest of these behemoths, which was the reason Lu Chuan chose it.

Whoosh, whoosh—

At this moment, the gray wolf leaped and flew more than ten meters away, pouncing directly on the prey in front of it.

Suddenly, the gray wolf retreated several steps, and a powerful aura permeated its entire body.

Before Lu Chuan's stunned eyes, it opened its mouth and spat out a mass of cyan spiritual power, directly killing the prey in front of it.

"Oh my goodness..."

After a long while, Lu Chuan finally came back to his senses, feeling deeply moved in his heart, "This guy... actually has the strength of the fifth stage of the Shackle Realm!"

"It seems I still can't set my sights on it for now, otherwise I might be in trouble!"

He had witnessed the entire process of the gray wolf hunting just now and was clear that the opponent had not yet truly used its full strength.

This made Lu Chuan feel a sense of wariness.

In the time that followed, Lu Chuan continued to wander in the space inside the rift and soon found a more suitable prey, "This savage bear seems to only be at the fourth stage of the Shackle Realm; it's perfect for testing the strength of these ancient creatures."

"It's him!"

After deciding, he opened his mouth directly, and after condensing his power, he violently shot a beam of energy light at the opponent! Boom, boom, boom—

Instantly, a violent roar erupted from the place where the black savage bear was, followed by its wild, furious roar.

Lu Chuan had made his move, but he hurriedly changed his position, rushed to the other side of the savage bear, and observed carefully.

Thump! Thump! Thump! The savage bear had been sleeping soundly when it was suddenly hit by someone; it immediately flew into a rage and ran wildly, its massive size creating a huge noise that made the nearby ground shake! "Good fellow, is this skin too thick and flesh too tough?"

Lu Chuan was greatly shocked to see that the savage bear was completely unharmed under his energy beam, "It seems... I chose the wrong target!"

"Roar—" At this very moment, the savage bear had already discovered him and was charging over at high speed.

After it reached Lu Chuan, it directly raised its paw and slapped down fiercely, containing its endless fury.

Bang! Instantly, a pit more than three meters wide appeared where Lu Chuan had been standing, and he had already taken the opportunity to dodge to the side, still feeling shocked, "This guy is not only thick-skinned and tough, but also has infinite strength!"

"However... you only have this one advantage!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan opened his mouth and spat out a mass of pitch-black thick fog; this 【Corrosive Venom】 rushed out instantly and enveloped the savage bear.

However, to his surprise, the savage bear actually resisted the Highly Toxic within it and charged over even more furiously.

"I'm running!"

Lu Chuan had no choice but to run quickly under the blessing of 【Spirit Snake Swift Step】.

But during this time, he still tried his best to observe every move of the savage bear, hoping to find the opponent's weakness, "This guy is really hard to break from the outside; if it really doesn't work... I can only constrict it to death."

"But if I do that, I won't be able to test the true strength of the ancient Beasts here!"

"Got it!"

Suddenly, Lu Chuan dived into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

This change made the savage bear freeze for a moment, and then it frantically dug at the spot where Lu Chuan had disappeared, creating a huge commotion! Underground, Lu Chuan quietly felt the savage bear's anger, and until its speed slowed down slightly, he rushed out and bit its neck, "Die!"

In an instant, a giant snake was fiercely constricting the savage bear, making its limbs unable to move, while the giant snake's mouth bit the savage bear's neck tightly.

Only after trying several times did Lu Chuan feel a bit desperate, "The skin is really thick, but... this guy's strength is not too strong, which just lets me know that the strength difference between ancient creatures and current Beasts within the same realm is not that big."

"That makes things easier!"

Crack!

A moment later, Lu Chuan exerted force with his whole body, crushed the savage bear's bones, and increased his strength.

Not long after, the savage bear died of exhaustion, and only then did he loosen his grip slightly, open his blood-red maw, and devour it.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations to the host for a successful devouring, gaining 100 points of Evolution Value!】

"Hmm?"

The system's prompt made Lu Chuan feel a burst of surprise, and after a long while, he was overjoyed, "Does the Evolution Value fed back by this ancient Beast actually amount to this much?"

"Since that's the case... I must have a good feast!"

This was the first time he had gained three-digit Evolution Value after devouring; although he didn't understand why the gap in Evolution Value between ancient Beasts and current-world Beasts was so large, getting more was enough.

"Not bad, not bad. Killing one ancient Beast is equivalent to two or three current-world Beasts; I've made a huge profit!"

While murmuring, Lu Chuan cast his gaze on the gray wolf in the distance that had also noticed him, his eyes gradually flickering with a fiery light, "Wait until I've devoured the other ancient Beasts, then I'll come find you."

"Before that, you must not die!"

Not long after, this unique space containing ancient Beasts instantly became restless; countless ancient Beasts, both large and small, were running wildly, and it was evident that they were extremely nervous and terrified.

Behind them, a giant snake was in hot pursuit, and from time to time, it would swallow the ancient Beast that lagged the furthest behind in one gulp! Finally, that gray wolf could no longer hold back, directly blocking the path in front of the giant snake and roaring loudly, "You have crossed the line!"
