252: Hu Bingbing: Look at my mount! The mount is cool.

Night.

Everywhere, the sounds of massive Yao Beasts destroying buildings could be heard.

The sparks created were particularly striking in the night.

Yao Beast roars came from some forests, clearly audible even at the foot of the town's mountain.

Jin Meiting stood on a large tree trunk, looking at the dead Yao Beasts below.

Just a moment ago, she was continuously killing Yao Beasts at the foot of the town's mountain when she suddenly sensed the powerful aura of a Yao Beast from the forest.

Jin Meiting had no choice but to let her mount hold them off; she had to go to the forest.

The strength of this Yao Beast's aura was likely already at the Mid Stage; if this Yao Beast were to reach the foot of the mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This spiritual energy tide successfully allowed Jin Meiting to enter the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage of strength.

Before, she had always felt something was missing, preventing her Breakthrough, but fortunately, this time, after the impact of the spiritual energy tide, she successfully made a Breakthrough to the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage.

The Yao Beast in the forest was only at the Mid Stage of strength; in the past, she might have needed to contend with it for a while.

Now, a Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage fighting a Mid Stage was simply too easy.

As her strength increased, Jin Meiting recalled the scene of Li Mu instantly killing a group of Yao Beasts, and she increasingly felt that Li Mu's strength was truly too profound and unfathomable.

Jin Meiting shook her head helplessly; with her current strength, she probably wouldn't last half a move in front of Li Mu before she was done for!

Jin Meiting successfully killed the Yao Beast; she had previously thought this forest was free of Yao Beasts, so she had only sent people to guard it.

And I haven't seen anyone sent to guard this place since I came to the forest; they're probably all dead!

Now, if the Grand Elder were to send people to guard it again, there wouldn't be enough time, so it would be better for me to create a barrier for this forest!

This way, before the Grand Elder's guards arrive, this place will be protected by the barrier!

Thus, Jin Meiting set up a Formation barrier in this forest; as long as the Yao Beasts are around the early to Middle Stage of Refining Qi, they won't be able to break through this barrier and run out to harm people.

After doing all this, Jin Meiting returned to her previous position of guarding an area and continued to kill Yao Beasts…

…………

Qin Zhe's powerful punch killed a Yao Beast on the ground, which was already covered in Yao Beast bloodstains and various pieces of flesh.

Fighting alongside Qin Zhe was his mount, the Spirit Snake.

Peanut.

Qin Zhe grabbed a Yao Beast by its tail and threw it forcefully, saying at the same time, “Peanut, catch this; this rabbit meat is delicious.”

Peanut watched the flying rabbit Yao Beast and promptly bit it with its mouth, blood flowing from the Yao Beast's body.

Peanut tossed the Yao Beast into the air again, its eyes fixed on the descending Yao Beast, then quickly rose and swallowed the Yao Beast whole.

At the same time, a frog Yao Beast flew towards Peanut's position.

As before, Peanut ate all the food thrown by its master with great sincerity.

At the same time, it also expressed some protest to its master in its heart.

Peanut: I don't want to eat these Yao Beasts anymore; they're so unappetizing.

Qin Zhe, having signed a contract with Peanut, naturally knew Peanut's thoughts.

He looked at Peanut's position with a puzzled expression and said, “Peanut, isn't it said that snakes like to eat rabbits and frogs?”

“There's no reason for you not to like them, right!?”

Peanut: …………

Who said that snakes must like to eat rabbits and frogs? We just like the sense of accomplishment from catching prey…

And even if we eat Yao Beasts, the grade of these Yao Beasts is too low; they really affect the taste!

After understanding, Qin Zhe decided that if it didn't like to eat them, then so be it!

Looking at the continuous stream of Yao Beasts, Qin Zhe basically killed one Yao Beast with one punch.

The Yao Beasts also didn't expect this male bipedal beast to be so strong and dared not advance for a while.

Until a roar came from behind the Yao Beasts, the Yao Beasts scattered, and those that didn't were knocked flying by a wild boar Yao Beast.

The roaring Yao Beast was a wild boar Yao Beast, its strength at the Mid Stage.

The moment it saw Qin Zhe, it charged forward like a wild boar, and as Qin Zhe quickly dodged, the wild boar Yao Beast crashed into a building behind it, leaving a hole several meters wide.

When Qin Zhe saw this wild boar Yao Beast, whose strength was actually at the Mid Stage, excitement involuntarily appeared on his face; it was perfect for testing his current strength!

The wild boar Yao Beast had immense strength, a huge body, and was very fast, but its attacks were very single, only knowing to charge forward everywhere.

Having analyzed the wild boar Yao Beast's characteristics, Qin Zhe immediately cooperated with his mount, Peanut, to launch a series of attacks on the wild boar Yao Beast.

The surrounding Yao Beasts also joined the chaotic battle, only to sometimes be directly sent flying by the wild boar Yao Beast's sudden charges.

Before long, the wild boar Yao Beast was punched in the stomach by Qin Zhe and flew out, crashing into a house, and then never got up again.

Qin Zhe wiped the sweat from his forehead; fortunately, he had just killed this batch of Yao Beasts, so he could rest for a while.

In a flash, Qin Zhe saw Peanut quickly approach the wild boar Yao Beast.

When Qin Zhe saw this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth; the meat of this Middle Stage Yao Beast was much more delicious than these low-level Yao Beasts, and it was greatly beneficial for both the body and Cultivation.

Just as he was about to thank Peanut for helping him with the Yao Beast's corpse, the smile on Qin Zhe's upturned lips involuntarily froze on his face.

Because Peanut directly ate the wild boar Yao Beast's corpse!

Ate it!!

It!!!

After eating the wild boar Yao Beast, Peanut even let out a satisfied burp.

Then it came to Qin Zhe's side to act spoiled, and soon after, Yao Beasts attacked again, and Peanut went to kill Yao Beasts.

Qin Zhe, beside it, sighed helplessly; it turned out Peanut wasn't unwilling to eat Yao Beasts, it was just a little 'picky'…

Meanwhile, on Hu Bingbing's side.

Hu Bingbing was panting heavily, her clothes already tattered and stained with what she didn't know was her own blood or Yao Beast blood.

Too many Yao Beasts had arrived, and the area was densely covered with Yao Beast corpses.

Before long, countless Yao Beasts gathered around Hu Bingbing once again.

Hu Bingbing calculated the time; her mount had already been out several times before, and if she released it again this time, it probably wouldn't last much longer.

Because her mount was a fish, it couldn't fight on land at all. So she wanted to try to lure these Yao Beasts to a place with water.

But there were too many Yao Beasts, and among them were even Yao Beasts at the Mid Stage; even if they were guided to a place with water, and there happened to be Yao Beasts with excellent water affinity there, then her mount… would be done for.

“Damn it, my mount really can't hold on.”

“Why are there so many Yao Beasts in this spiritual energy tide? Damn it!”

Hu Bingbing didn't have time to think about anything else; she only knew that she had to protect this place.

Hu Bingbing looked at the Yao Beasts in front of her with determined eyes, gripping her sword tightly with both hands, facing the Yao Beasts.

This place absolutely cannot be breached by Yao Beasts; I must guard it well. If this place is breached, then the people behind me will be finished…
