Chapter 671: Top-tier Power Otter (First update, requesting everything)

Amidst a dizzying spin, the environment before his eyes changed abruptly, and he appeared in the middle of a grassland.

After entering the King's Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng began to survey his surroundings.

Behind him was a three-meter-tall portal, with a Sixth-Rank Expert standing guard to one side.

Not far away stood an exquisite house, and Li Zhangsheng could vaguely sense the auras of two Sixth-Rank Experts.

If nothing went wrong, this was likely a house designed specifically to monitor this Secret Realm.

Li Zhangsheng gazed into the distance; the place they were currently in was a grassland spanning several dozen miles, with a forest and a fairly large lake vaguely visible in the distance, though no mountains or forests were to be seen.

The King's Secret Realm had clearly been meticulously maintained by the Imperial Family, and the environment and energy concentration here were not a bit inferior to the Royal Garden.

Unlike the Royal Garden, the King's Secret Realm had no so-called Restrictions, nor were any needed.

Additionally, there was a large number of wild Spirit Beasts here, and it was not just High Quality Fairies; it was primarily wild Spirit Beasts of Inferior Quality, though the proportion of High Quality Fairies was much higher than in the outside world.

This was the purpose of a Secret Realm: it was easier to produce High Quality Fairies than in the outside world, and combined with some human factors, the proportion of High Quality Fairies here far exceeded that of the outside world.

Over so many years, the two great King's Secret Realms possessed a large number of High Quality Fairies, and the number of Superior Quality and Top-tier Spirit Fairies was certainly far greater than in the Royal Garden.

It was just that the number of wild Spirit Beasts here was too high, and wanting to find a satisfactory wild Spirit Beast in just one day was no small feat.

If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly go chasing after Quasi-God Sprites; after all, their Mental Power and time were limited, and Quasi-God Sprites were guaranteed to be at least Superior Quality, and with good luck, one might even find a Top-tier one.

Li Zhangsheng was naturally not among them; he did not need to go through the trouble of making Temporary Contracts one by one like other Monster Tamers, as he only needed to project his Mental Power to scan a vast area in one go.

The King's Secret Realm seemed large, but with Li Zhangsheng's scanning efficiency, he could finish sweeping it in just two or three hours.

Unlike before, this time, because of Ning Bizhen, Li Zhangsheng needed to lock onto two of the highest-quality wild Spirit Beasts.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng projected his Mental Power, covering a full seven-thousand-meter radius.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, over a thousand points of light appeared, among which nearly a hundred were quite bright—a proportion unexpectedly high.

Against the backdrop of these light points, there appeared a point of light like scorching moonlight.

Li Zhangsheng was exceptionally experienced; he could tell at a glance that this was not a Superior Quality Fairy, but a Spirit Beast that had reached Top-tier quality.

He had not expected to find a Top-tier Spirit on his first scan, and he did not know if it was because the King's Secret Realm had many Top-tier Spirits or if it was due to his own luck.

Under the Imperial Family's decades or even centuries of maintenance, a considerable number of Exotic Beasts were kept in the King's Secret Realm, and even low-level Exotic Beasts were born with Medium Grade quality.

Even a King could not directly see the data of the Spirit Beasts kept in the Secret Realm; otherwise, one could just drive groups of wild Spirit Beasts into the Secret Realm from the wild.

Like ordinary Monster Tamers, Kings could only observe a Spirit Beast's data after a Temporary Contract.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng flicked his Monster Pet Bag and summoned the Black Dragon.

Under the gaze of three Sixth-Rank Experts, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen rode the Black Dragon and flew toward the location of the Top-tier Spirit.

At the moment Li Zhangsheng began to move, in the massive house, hundreds of Obsidian Screens hung on the four walls, displaying different scenery and monitoring the entire Secret Realm from an overhead perspective.

There were two Sixth-Rank Experts here; one of them had his eyes closed, using his Mental Power to continuously scan the Obsidian Screens, monitoring every move in the King's Secret Realm.

The other Sixth-Rank Expert was specifically tasked with locking onto the positions of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen, observing their every move; as soon as they committed any violation, he would report it to Dou Qingtian at the fastest speed.

As a Pseudo-King, especially one who had incorporated the Spirit Essence of a Black Tortoise and the Hundred-Armed Giant Essence Blood into his body, Li Zhangsheng's sensory ability far exceeded that of an ordinary Pseudo-King, and he could clearly feel that someone was monitoring him.

However, Li Zhangsheng could only pretend not to know; after all, this was the King's Secret Realm, and being monitored was perfectly normal.

Within just a few breaths, Li Zhangsheng saw the other party's appearance.

Not far away, a group of Wind Wolves were running wantonly on the grassland, and the leading Wind Wolf was particularly massive, more than ten times larger than an ordinary Wind Wolf, exuding the aura of a Leader.

Because the Black Dragon had restrained its Dragon Might, this group of Wind Wolves did not collapse in terror upon seeing it, but they knew they could not fight it, and the lead wolf immediately took the Wolf Pack away from the Black Dragon.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng discovered that the Wind Wolf leader was indeed that Top-tier Spirit.

Li Zhangsheng began to check the other party's data.

【Spirit Name】: Wind Wolf (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Realm】: Leader 3rd Rank

【Spirit Race】: Medium Servant

【Spirit Quality】: Top-tier

【Spirit Bloodline】: Heavenly Wolf (Inferior Quality)

【Spirit Attribute】: Wind

【Spirit Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Weakness】: Thunder

Although this Wind Wolf's race was very low, Li Zhangsheng could quickly improve its race, though this would require consuming quite a bit of Spirit Essence.

What Li Zhangsheng found least satisfactory was that this was a Top-tier Wind Wolf in the Mature Stage; although it could still progress, its potential was certainly far inferior to an adolescent Wind Wolf, and the training effect would be half the effort for twice the result.

If one were to use humans as an analogy, one is a boxer trained from childhood, and the other is a boxer who started halfway through adulthood; both have the same aptitude, but there is a clear gap in their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, after reading the Wind Wolf leader's data, Li Zhangsheng felt no excitement at all; although this Top-tier Wind Wolf was more valuable than a Quasi-God Sprite, it was only marginally so.

However, Li Zhangsheng still activated the Mental Parasitism Secret Technique and placed a mark on the Top-tier Wind Wolf.

At Li Zhangsheng's current realm, the duration of the Mental Parasitism Secret Technique far exceeded what it used to be; as long as it was not washed away by energy, it could last for a full three days.

Ning Bizhen did not know about Li Zhangsheng's special ability and could not help but say, "Zhangsheng, shall we split up to look?"

"It's fine, I will help you find the highest-quality Spirit Beast. You just need to look at the scenery along the way; consider it a trip to relax!"

Li Zhangsheng rejected Ning Bizhen's proposal, and Ning Bizhen did not say anything; she already had divine confidence in Li Zhangsheng, believing that nothing could stump him.

Thus, Ning Bizhen truly followed what Li Zhangsheng said and began to tour the scenery along the way.

Under Li Zhangsheng's control, the Black Dragon flapped its wings rapidly, flying swiftly over the grassland.

In this King's Secret Realm, the largest area was the grassland, occupying more than half the area, followed by the forest, and finally the lake.

The Black Dragon flew at a low altitude, and under the rich Dragon Might, naturally, few wild Spirit Beasts dared to provoke it, but occasionally some reckless ones with decent strength would appear, just like now.

Roar~

Not long after the Black Dragon had been flying, a roar suddenly came from below, and then a massive figure jumped high, like a fired bullet, rushing rapidly toward the Black Dragon.

Although the Black Dragon was only a hundred meters from the ground, such a powerful leap was truly rare, and to actively attack the Black Dragon—it went without saying that it must be a powerful Demon Pet.

This was a large Demon Pet with a head resembling a hippopotamus, and its two rather ferocious giant claws were particularly impressive.

Indeed, this was none other than a Behemoth!

Li Zhangsheng had not expected that this King's Secret Realm would actually contain a Behemoth.

This was an adult Behemoth, and like the Black Dragon, it was of the Lord-level.

If one were to say that dragons and titans were mortal enemies, the relationship between dragons and Behemoths was more one of competition, though once the two started fighting, it was often a matter of life and death.

Just as the Behemoth was about to close in, the Black Dragon suddenly flapped its wings, increasing its speed by another thirty percent, causing the Behemoth's surprise attack to miss.

Having failed to hit its target, the Behemoth could only fall from the air; however, the Black Dragon was clearly not the type to just take a beating without retaliating, and it nimbly circled in the air, spitting a stream of Acid Breath directly at the creature's head.

The Behemoth had no way to dodge in mid-air and could only instinctively cover its head with its hands, immediately being struck by the Acid Breath; its entire body emitted a sizzling corrosive sound, and it let out a painful roar.

Boom—

The Behemoth landed on the ground in a sorry state; before it could launch a counterattack, the Black Dragon had already appeared above its head, its massive dragon body turning as its thick, long Dragon Tail instantly whipped against the Behemoth's waist.

Under the immense force, the Behemoth was sent flying back twenty or thirty meters against its will, crashing onto the ground in a disheveled heap.

The Behemoth struggled on the ground a few times, but ultimately lost its ability to fight, unwilling as it was.

When it came down to it, this was, after all, just an ordinary Behemoth; its quality alone was a grade lower than the Black Dragon, not to mention that the Black Dragon had undergone long-term training, so its combat proficiency was naturally incomparable to that of a wild Spirit Beast.

Li Zhangsheng glanced at the Behemoth, and after confirming that the fellow had only temporarily lost its ability to fight, he did not linger there, continuing to steer the Black Dragon to explore this King's Secret Realm.

For Li Zhangsheng, this was merely an interlude; even if he were to encounter a Demon King-level Spirit Beast, he would not feel surprised.

Although the grassland was vast, Li Zhangsheng finished exploring it in just over an hour; besides that Top-tier Wind Wolf, Li Zhangsheng had also encountered a Top-tier Strength Otter.

The Strength Otter was a Dengdeng Zhanjiang Zhongzu Spirit Beast, and as its name suggested, it was a type of Spirit Beast known throughout the world for its strength.

Just like the Top-tier Wind Wolf, this Strength Otter was also an adult, and before leaving, Li Zhangsheng placed a mark on it.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng steered the Black Dragon to the area above the forest, continuing to use his Mental Power to explore.

This time, Li Zhangsheng once again discovered a Top-tier Spirit.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, verified!
