Chapter 243: Venomous Flying Dragon (First update, seeking subscriptions)

The harvest from this trip was undeniably bountiful; the only troublesome part was how to handle the corpses of these Demon Pets.

For these Demon Pets, the small ones like the Ice-Snow Penguin were easy enough to deal with—just toss them into the Space Ring—but Demon Pets like the Ancestral Light Bird and the Savage Winged Tiger were several meters long, and Li Zhangsheng's Space Ring simply couldn't fit them.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng could only break these corpses down into materials. Due to limited space, he could only take the most precious materials and had to discard the rest.

Among these materials, what Li Zhangsheng valued most were the blood and hearts of the Ancestral Light Bird and the Savage Winged Tiger. As long as he could master the *Book of Bloodlines Part Two* and supplement it with some of his own understanding, he would have a chance to extract the bloodlines of the Chongming Bird and the White Tiger.

Among them, the White Tiger bloodline was even more important. As long as he extracted enough White Tiger bloodline, Aixi could even evolve directly and become a being of a higher species.

After getting everything settled, the time reached noon. Li Zhangsheng and Li Tianyu bid farewell to Li Wenbo and the others, then began to rendezvous with their teammates.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng and Li Tianyu said apologetically, "Sorry, because of us, we kept everyone waiting!"

What else could the teammates say? Naturally, they were understanding.

At this moment, Instructor Qian Yuanfei drifted down from the tip of a large tree and said, "I hope you can complete this task as soon as possible. I want to remind you that the Zhao Shuyi team has also accepted a Difficult-level Task!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of Li Zhangsheng's team instantly became tense.

Today was the fifth day of the outdoor training, and they had reached the crucial sprint stage. If they were overtaken by the Zhao Shuyi team at the last moment, Li Zhangsheng's team would lose the chance to obtain extra rewards.

Yuan Yongyan added a word: "What about the other teams?"

"The other teams have a significant gap compared to you; there is no threat for now!"

"Since everyone is ready, let's set off now!"

After speaking, Li Zhangsheng took the lead and entered the Silent Forest.

As soon as they stepped into the Silent Forest, the light suddenly dimmed. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the dense leaves, leaving countless mottled light and shadows on the ground. The sharp chirping of cicadas, the calls of birds, and the roars of beasts rose and fell!

Compared to the Green Wild Forest, the Silent Forest was clearly larger and more primitive. Even in the outer reaches, countless towering trees grew, filled with primitive colors. This place was very suitable for wild Spirit Beasts to survive, so their density was naturally far higher than the outside world.

The Silent Forest had existed for a long time. Perhaps it was because the density of wild Spirit Beasts was too high, or perhaps for other reasons, but in any case, every once in a while, a Beast Tide would form, charging at nearby cities without fear of death.

To prevent crises as much as possible, the Langya Kingdom would always issue tasks to clear out the wild Spirit Beasts of the Silent Forest from time to time. The more wild Spirit Beasts cleared, the more the formation of a Beast Tide could be delayed.

As soon as they entered the Silent Forest, a Thunder Leopard immediately pounced from a tree it had been lurking in.

Unfortunately, before the Thunder Leopard could reach them, it was bound tightly by a dozen vines that burst from the ground. It couldn't break free no matter what and could only let out panicked howls.

"Kailan, well done!" Li Zhangsheng praised her out of habit, causing Kailan to show a happy smile; she was always very easy to satisfy.

As for the fate of the Thunder Leopard, it went without saying.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng began to project his Mental Power. His main goal was wild Spirit Beast groups, as that was the only way to complete the task faster.

Of course, if he searched for high-quality wild Spirit Beasts, he wouldn't let them go either.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, he 'saw' dense clusters of light points. Compared to the Green Wild Forest, the density of wild Spirit Beasts here was clearly higher.

And this was just the outer area of the Silent Forest!

Thanks to the density of the wild Spirit Beasts, under Li Zhangsheng's leadership, they cleared out more and more of them. If their luck was good enough, they might be able to complete the task before nightfall.

It was unknown how much time had passed when Li Zhangsheng's team began to head deep into the hinterland. It was difficult to find Elite-level wild Spirit Beasts in the outer reaches of the Silent Forest; they had to go deeper.

Here, the trees were lush and the light was even dimmer, and their visual range was clearly affected.

However, with the Dark Vision Aura of the Moonlight Meow, even in the dead of night, it would not have much impact on their vision.

However, not far ahead of them was a desolate swamp, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, Yuan Yongyan pointed at a dead tree and shouted, "Hey, that's a Velociraptor!"

She saw a head that looked like a Velociraptor, but just as Yuan Yongyan discovered it, the creature immediately retracted its head and let out an unusually unpleasant cry.

Compared to the Armored Earth Dragon or the Venomous Flying Dragon, the Velociraptor could only be considered a small Sub-Dragon. An adult Velociraptor was about two meters long, weighed about 150 kilograms, and was known for its swift movements.

Because its Dragon bloodline was too thin, the Velociraptor did not belong to the category of Exotic Beasts and was merely a Superior Servant Species.

"Everyone, be careful, we are surrounded by them!!" Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power had been in an activated state. When Yuan Yongyan discovered the Velociraptor, he had already detected dozens of light points rushing toward them rapidly.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng's team stood back-to-back and released all their Demon Pets.

In the span of a few breaths, dozens of Velociraptors surrounded Li Zhangsheng's team. They circled them, their pale red eyes wide open, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Roar~

Suddenly, a roar completely different from the Velociraptors rang out. Following that, a massive Sub-Dragon flew over, perched on a large tree, and looked down at Li Zhangsheng's team with cold eyes.

This Sub-Dragon had a pair of bat wings, a body length of nearly eight meters, no horns on its head, and a large number of purple markings on its body. It was a rather rare Venomous Flying Dragon.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Venomous Flying Dragon (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Elite 9th Rank

【Spirit Beast Species】: Medium Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Mid-grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Black Dragon (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Water

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Earth

Like the Armored Earth Dragon and the Red-Armored Earth Dragon, the Venomous Flying Dragon was also a relatively famous Sub-Dragon. Moreover, its species was higher, its flight speed was swift, and its appearance was closer to a true Dragon, so it was naturally widely welcomed by Monster Tamers.

"A Velociraptor group, a Venomous Flying Dragon... the situation seems a bit bad. It's possible a group of Venomous Flying Dragons lives here, or even that this is the territory of a true Dragon! Everyone be careful, we had best break out as fast as we can!"

As soon as he saw the Venomous Flying Dragon, Li Zhangsheng was clearly startled. Unlike the Armored Earth Dragon, the Venomous Flying Dragon was a gregarious type of Sub-Dragon and was also one of the most threatening wild Spirit Beast groups in the wild.

If they encountered a Venomous Flying Dragon group, the consequences would be unimaginable. Being besieged by a group of Venomous Flying Dragons that could reach the Elite level upon adulthood was terrifying just to think about.

This wasn't even the most terrifying part. If this really was the territory of a true Dragon, then it would be dangerous. Li Zhangsheng was confident he could escape the pursuit of Venomous Flying Dragons, but he had no such confidence against a true Dragon, including the White Dragon, which was known as the 'Dragon Clan Shame'.
