963. Chapter 961 Extraordinary Bearing

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly calmed his emotions, and began to dig up the Blood Vein Grass.

This is the source of the Blood Vein Grass's life, and also the only place where it remains.

Lu Yuan spent two hours, finally digging up the Blood Vein Grass, which weighed six or seven hundred catties, shimmering with crystalline blood light, appearing extraordinarily remarkable.

"This is Blood Vein Grass; after consumption it can enhance bloodline power and should greatly help my cultivation." Lu Yuan exclaimed delightedly.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan took out a jade bottle, opened the stopper, and placed the Blood Vein Grass inside the jade bottle.

After finishing these, Lu Yuan prepared to leave.

This secret should not be kept for long; if discovered, it will surely cause a great uproar.

Whoosh—! Suddenly, the previously tranquil valley became violently chaotic, whipping up a fierce sandstorm that swept in all directions.

Immediately after, a piercing cry rang out, startling everyone.

"Oh no!" Lu Yuan's face drastically changed.

Roar— In the next second, a bellow sounded, and immediately a huge body burst from the ground, charging toward Lu Yuan.

"A fifth-grade demon beast!" Lu Yuan was horrified to the point of death.

It was a creature with scarlet red feathers all over, like blazing flames, its wingspan about three meters wide, and its speed was as fast as lightning.

"How did I encounter another fifth-grade demon beast!" Lu Yuan's face turned pale as he turned and fled.

He never expected that deep in these remote mountains, a terrifying demon beast was actually hiding.

Whoosh!

However, this flying creature, as if premeditated, dove down, bringing a foul gust of force, and lunged to bite Lu Yuan.

This flying creature's body was engulfed in scorching flames, its wings extremely sharp, easily tearing the void, emitting a sizzling tearing sound, like a blade slicing through the air.

Pfft!

Lu Yuan reacted swiftly, sidestepping to dodge, but he was a step too slow; a shocking gash was cut into his abdomen, and blood spurted out.

Ah!

Intense pain surged, Lu Yuan let out a miserable scream, nearly passing out.

"I won't die here, will I?" Lu Yuan muttered, feeling his hands and feet turn icy cold.

Whoosh!

However, at that moment, the flying creature swooped again, its talons reaching for Lu Yuan, its sharp claws glinting with a cold light, making people tremble.

Whoosh! Lu Yuan was terrified out of his wits, and he sprinted away at full speed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

This flying creature is extremely fast; with each attack, Lu Yuan barely manages to dodge.

"No, if this continues, I'll eventually be worn to death by it."

Lu Yuan's thoughts raced, seeking an opportunity to shake off the flying creature.

He scanned his surroundings and saw that the stone cliff ahead was steep as a dragon and smooth as a mirror.

"Exactly!"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up; he leapt onto the stone wall and then slid sideways.

Boom! The next moment, the flying creature reached the spot where Lu Yuan had previously been, opened its mouth and spat out a blazing hot fireball, which struck the cliff wall, producing a deafening explosion.

Whoosh! Lu Yuan took advantage of the chaos to climb up the adjacent stone wall, then proceeded to climb upward along the cliff.

However, the flying creature seemed to see Lu Yuan's intention, relentlessly pursuing him from behind, trying to drive him toward the cliff.

Lu Yuan cursed, his heart filled with anxiety, wishing he could immediately escape this area.

"This guy is too cunning." Lu Yuan cursed under his breath, continuing to flee.

Roar! The next moment, an angry roar came from below the cliff, like the growl of some beast, filled with ferocity and savagery.

"Oh no!" Lu Yuan's face instantly paled a few shades, and he hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique, fully activating the refinement of the Blood Vein Grass.

The Blood Vein Grass possesses powerful medicinal effects; for martial artists, it yields twice the result with half the effort, quickly boosting strength.

"Huh? My bloodline power seems to have increased significantly." Lu Yuan's face showed a hint of surprise.

His bloodline power has remained sealed; unless it is awakened, it cannot be strengthened at all.

Now Lu Yuan discovered that the flow speed of his blood had increased, his true essence was more condensed, and even showed signs of boiling.

"What's going on?" Lu Yuan wondered, not understanding why his blood would boil.

Cry!

At that moment, a sharp whistle pierced the clouds, making scalps tingle.

Lu Yuan followed the sound, his pupils suddenly widening in utter terror.

There appeared a griffin several zhang long, its body covered in golden-yellow scales, its eyes blood-red, exuding a savage, bloodthirsty aura as it locked onto Lu Yuan and released a murderous intent.

The griffin spread its wings, kicking up a gale that obscured the heavens, and charged toward Lu Yuan.

"Is this guy crazy?" Lu Yuan's face turned ashen, filled with dread.

He never imagined that the spirit fruit on the mountaintop would attract such a powerful demon beast.

The griffin's aura was too terrifying, like a towering wave pressing down; Lu Yuan had no power to resist, was directly blown away, slammed hard to the ground, and blood spilled from his mouth.

Crack! Crack! Lu Yuan had just steadied himself when the griffin lunged at him, opening its bloody maw to reveal ferocious, razor-sharp teeth.

"Could it be that I'm really going to die here?" Lu Yuan's face turned pale, countless images flashing through his mind, finally freezing on a beautiful smile.

Rumble…

However, at that moment, a deafeningly muffled thunderclap suddenly rang out.

In an instant, the entire valley shook as if it were about to collapse.

Lu Yuan was terrified out of his wits, his face turning green in an instant; this was practically the apocalypse descending.

However, the next moment, he froze, because there was no sign of any danger.

Roar! Just as Lu Yuan was doubtful, a furious shout suddenly came from the mountain peak below.

Immediately, a dazzling burst of green light exploded, illuminating the entire valley.

This green light grew stronger and gradually coalesced into a blurry human figure.

Buzz…

In an instant, the surrounding trees trembled, leaves fluttered down, emitting a clear, pleasant sound.

Immediately after, streaks of emerald light shot up from the ground, merging into the greenish human figure, enveloping it and making her even more hazy.

"This…" Lu Yuan widened his eyes, his expression dazed, looking completely bewildered.

Rumble…

The mountain shook more violently, endless rubble rolled down, dust and smoke swirled, enveloping this valley.

Lu Yuan quickly covered his eyes, waiting for the thick mist to dissipate.

Soon, the thick mist vanished, the valley reappeared, the mountain peaks still stood tall and majestic.

However, at this moment a colossal beast was coiled in the valley.

This was a black flood dragon, its body pitch black, about three meters long, its torso as thick as a water bucket, its head like a dragon's, ferocious in appearance, with two scarlet eyes emitting a terrifying cold light.

The black flood dragon lay coiled there, weighing several hundred catties, its muscles knotted and bulging, exuding a terrifying aura.

"A sixth-level demon beast!"

Lu Yuan was scared out of his wits, his eyes wide, his face deathly pale, his heart about to leap out of his chest.

Although he was just a nobody, he also knew that a sixth-level demon beast was extremely terrifying, its combat power comparable to a fearsome existence. (End of chapter)
