122: Tam, Nine-Tailed Fox, please help! The battle for the hegemony of Qinling Mountains!

The Great Sand Empire that Lu Chuan spoke of was precisely Yan Country's northern neighbor, the Great Sand Empire.

The territory of the Great Sand Empire was also extremely vast, spanning countless miles from east to west.

The Great Sand Empire was vast in area, but it also had a long winter.

Yan Country's northeastern border was adjacent to the Great Sand Empire, so it was understandable that the Black Monkey King ran over there.

However, since the other party had already fled the country, Lu Chuan naturally didn't plan to chase him all the way.

After all, he hadn't even traveled throughout Yan Country yet and currently had no plans to leave the country.

"Right, in these great northeastern mountains, have you discovered any other powerful fierce beasts?"

Lu Chuan found that there were indeed quite a few powerful fierce beasts in these deep mountains and old forests.

Previously, the North Sea Dragon King stirred up trouble, causing headaches for the entire Yan Country.

But Lu Chuan didn't expect that in the northeastern mountain range, there was also a Black Monkey King whose strength was comparable to his!

He was very curious if there were other fierce beasts in this vast primeval forest.

"Boss, before you came, this Black Monkey King was already the strongest."

"And below his strength was the cunning Black Bear King of Black Bear Ridge, and the white giant python you encountered earlier in the Ice Lake, but both of those guys have already died by your hand."

"Other than that, there's only the Yellow Immortal to the northeast."

Having already signed a Soul contract, Old Bei didn't dare to hide anything and told Lu Chuan everything he knew.

"Oh? Yellow Immortal?"

Hearing this name, Lu Chuan immediately became very curious.

After all, for a fierce beast to dare to name itself with the character 'Immortal', that was truly remarkable.

Just as Lu Chuan was curious, Ren Qingyao on Mount Dagong Snow began to explain to him.

According to Ren Qingyao, there were a total of four powerful Beast Kings in this northeastern mountain range.

However, apart from the Black Bear King who was on the ranking list, the others were unknown.

Because apart from the Black Bear King, the other Beast Kings in this northeastern mountain range were relatively laid-back and hadn't gone out to cause trouble.

And the Yellow Immortal that Old Bei mentioned was actually a weasel whose strength had continuously evolved after the spiritual energy revival.

It was just that this Yellow Immortal, like Old Bei, didn't focus their evolution on physical strength.

According to Ren Qingyao, the Yellow Immortal's body size was similar to a human's and didn't look particularly outstanding.

But this fierce beast had a powerful Soul and awakened a very special innate ability: Nightmare!

This special innate ability allowed the Yellow Immortal to place all living beings within a large area into an illusion without them being able to detect it!

The scenes within the illusion were a mix of truth and falsehood, making it difficult to distinguish.

The most crucial part was the gradual influence, which was simply impossible to guard against.

This kind of illusion, which combined reality and falsehood and affected one unknowingly, was the most difficult to break.

Because it was very possible that the method you thought would break it was actually a deeper trap within the illusion...

"Boss, actually that Yellow Immortal doesn't have much real ability, and his own combat strength isn't very strong."

"But since he knows how to create illusions, it can indeed be a bit troublesome."

Old Bei also explained from the side, but what he knew was not as detailed as Ren Qingyao.

But in Lu Chuan's opinion, for Old Bei to understand the abilities of other fierce beasts so well at this stage was already quite good.

"Alright, I understand. Since that Yellow Immortal hasn't provoked me yet, I won't bother with him for now."

Lu Chuan nodded and said in a deep voice.

Immediately, Lu Chuan released his powerful king's pressure, and the rest of the fierce beasts also expressed their submission.

After all, those who remained were originally willing to surrender to Lu Chuan.

"I'll leave these guys to you. Don't cause any trouble for me."

Lu Chuan instructed Old Bei.

He could tell that among these fierce beasts, the Soul-evolved ones like Old Bei were the most cunning and intelligent.

Having him lead the remaining subordinates of the Black Monkey King could also be considered a decent force.

This Old Bei also understood social etiquette.

As soon as he took office, he immediately ordered the other fierce beasts to take action.

They took out all the spiritual fruits previously collected in the Black Monkey King's cave and handed them over to Lu Chuan.

Because other fierce beasts were different from Lu Chuan.

Normal fierce beasts needed a certain amount of time to digest these spiritual fruits containing vast medicinal power after consuming them.

Only Lu Chuan was an exception; with the System, he could directly convert spiritual fruits into evolution points.

Therefore, in the lairs of the other fierce beasts, there were still many spiritual fruits they had previously gathered but hadn't consumed yet.

With the new king ascending the throne, these fierce beasts also knew what they should do.

At this moment, they all brought out various spiritual fruits, piling them directly into a small mountain in front of Lu Chuan!

Lu Chuan's current cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Awakening Realm.

But to break through to the next Realm, he needed a full 600,000 evolution points.

Originally, in Lu Chuan's view, this was simply an astronomical figure.

But after coming to the Northeast this time, Lu Chuan felt that this shouldn't be a difficult task.

By devouring the spiritual fruits that Old Bei led the fierce beasts to offer, Lu Chuan gained a full 200,000 evolution points!

Lu Chuan estimated that the Black Bear King's flesh and blood, if completely eaten, should also increase his evolution points by over a hundred thousand.

In the Ice Lake, the body of that white giant python hadn't been dealt with yet.

The white python's strength was similar to the Black Bear King's, perhaps even slightly stronger, so it should also be able to increase his evolution points by quite a bit.

After adding everything up, Lu Chuan believed that it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the next stage.

This trip was not in vain for Lu Chuan.

"The Shackled Realm above the Awakening Realm? This new Realm is truly something to look forward to."

At this moment, several miles away, Ji Ruxue and her group, who had been stealthily penetrating deep into the northeastern mountain range.

At this moment, under the enhancement of their abilities, they had also slowly but surely arrived in this area.

"Oh my god, look quickly! Isn't that the Snow Wolf King?! He's gnawing on the Black Bear King's corpse!"

"Great, this Black Bear King is finally dead!"

"But this Wolf King's strength is truly terrifying, chasing him all the way into the deep mountains of the Northeast!"

Ji Ruxue and the others now saw with their own eyes that the Black Bear King was being devoured by Lu Chuan, and for a moment, they felt a sense of satisfaction.

After all, this Black Bear King was different from other fierce beasts; he had truly committed many evil deeds!

The most crucial thing was that he also possessed terrifying transformation abilities and had infiltrated the ranks of human high society.

The thought that the humans around them might be transformed fierce beasts made Ji Ruxue and the others' scalps tingle.

If the Black Bear King hadn't exposed himself this time, who knows what kind of terrible impact he would have caused in the future.

If the ten ultimate weapons hadn't been intercepted in time, the consequences would have been even more terrifying.

However, fortunately, fierce beasts with innate abilities like the Black Bear King were, after all, only a minority.

"Finally seeing this Black Bear King dead, we can also rest assured."

"This guy almost caused turmoil throughout our Yan Country, and to die like this at the hands of the Wolf King, it's really letting him off easy!"

"Alright, next we'll cross over here and go directly to the far northern border."

Ji Ruxue and the others' main mission on this trip deep into the mountain range was to investigate the whereabouts of the Black Bear King.

Now that his death had been confirmed, there was no reason to stay here any longer.

The few of them prepared to cross the mountains directly to reach the border, and then take a plane back to the Central Plains.

But just then, Lu Chuan, who was eating, suddenly detected a hint of abnormality.

This inexplicable feeling had been present around him ever since he first encountered the Black Bear King.

It was as if something invisible and intangible had been following him all along.

Lu Chuan put down the food by his mouth, his ice-blue eyes constantly scanning his surroundings.

His sharp gaze instantly made Ji Ruxue and the others hiding in the dark extremely nervous.

"Oh my god, this Wolf King couldn't have discovered us, could he?!"

Seeing the Wolf King's profound gaze, Ji Ruxue was instantly startled.

The others also tensed up instantly, even their breathing subconsciously stopping.

If the Wolf King discovered their presence, with their level of strength, they would likely all be buried in this snow-covered mountain range today.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan only glanced around and didn't find the flaw in their illusion.

Immediately, Ji Ruxue and the others felt as if they had been granted amnesty and quickly moved away from the area.

Old Bei also noticed Lu Chuan's actions just now and couldn't help but glance towards the distance a few times.

A hint of doubt also appeared in his yellow eyes.

Relying on his special ability, Old Bei did indeed sense that there seemed to be something abnormal in the distance.

But after concentrating and looking, he couldn't see anything.

"Boss, could it be that Yellow Immortal is secretly spying on us?"

Old Bei thought for a moment and still reminded Lu Chuan.

"Yellow Immortal?"

Lu Chuan, who was just about to continue devouring the flesh and blood, immediately became alert when he heard Old Bei's words.

According to Xiao Dai's description of the Yellow Immortal's special innate ability, the illusion technique he used was truly impossible to guard against.

Moreover, according to Xiao Dai, when the Yellow Immortal's illusion reached mastery, it could cover a range of a hundred miles and affect an entire city!

This ability was truly terrifying.

"Since that's the case, let's see if we can blast him out."

Lu Chuan transmitted a Soul message to Old Bei.

Old Bei responded in his mind and then immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Yellow Immortal, since you're already here, why hide and sneak around?!"

"You're a Beast King after all, why not show yourself and meet us, lest my Lord Wolf King gets angry and levels your Huang family!"

However, as Old Bei's voice fell, there was no movement around except for the biting cold wind.

However, the abnormality that Lu Chuan had sensed earlier was now gone.

"Could it be that the Yellow Immortal has already left?" Lu Chuan guessed inwardly.

In Lu Chuan's opinion, since he could sense the abnormality.

This indicated that the illusion created by the other party should not pose a significant threat to him.

An illusion, in the end, was just a deeper form of deception.

As long as one was wary after detecting an abnormality, the threat posed by the illusion could be minimized.

In the time that followed, Lu Chuan did not immediately return to Mount Dagong Snow.

Instead, after completely devouring the Black Bear King's corpse and converting it into evolution points, he went to the Ice Lake again.

The body of the white giant python at the bottom of the lake was still frozen, and was now dragged up by Lu Chuan.

"Now my evolution points are 430,000. Eating you should be enough to level up!"

Lu Chuan smiled slightly and immediately began to eat.

Eating this white giant python was like eating spicy strips.

"Ding... Devour successful, gaining 1500 evolution points!"

"Boss! Something's happened! Our territory is under attack."

"The other party is very strong, we are no match for them, hurry and come save us!"

Lu Chuan had only been devouring for a short while when he received distress messages from Nine-Tails, Tahm, and Big Bear.
