149: Chapter 149 Soul-Devouring Spear Acquired

Following the hyena's command, the large group of Yao Beasts before it scattered to search the surroundings.

After the beast herd dispersed, Yun Chenfei finally found an opportunity to slip away.

Moving on his four short legs, Yun Chenfei quietly approached the location of the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast's lair without leaving a trace.

Amidst this massive herd of beasts, the departure of a small warthog was completely unremarkable.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yun Chenfei had completely broken away from the herd.

At this moment, Yun Chenfei's current position was not very far from the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast's lair.

Based on the speed of his warthog form, it would take less than an hour to reach the coordinates recorded in the System.

While all the Yao Beasts were searching for traces of Yun Chenfei, the warthog, Pengpeng, was traveling at high speed through the Misty Forest.

During this time, Yun Chenfei encountered several more herds searching for him, but he managed to bluff his way past them in his warthog form.

Just as Yun Chenfei was about to reach the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast's lair, the transformation technique Baize had cast on him lost its effect.

After a blinding white light flared up, his form instantly shifted from a warthog back to his human shape.

That was close. If I had transformed a moment earlier, I would have been discovered by that group of Yao Beasts just now.

Upon realizing he had returned to his original appearance, Yun Chenfei said with relief.

Subsequently, he utilized Kunpeng Divine Speed, turning into a black shadow as he sped toward coordinates 638.319.

A moment later, Yun Chenfei arrived at the entrance of the cave where the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast resided.

This Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast must have also gone out to search with the nearby Yao Beasts.

This is perfect, it saves a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if I had to fight it, I would definitely attract the Yao Beasts searching nearby.

Sensing that there was no aura of the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast inside the cave, Yun Chenfei thought to himself.

The inside of the cave was very dim, and there was a damp atmosphere mixed with the stench of animals; this odor was incredibly unpleasant and pungent.

After walking along the cave for about five minutes, Yun Chenfei discovered the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast's lair.

He saw a large pile of Spirit Stones placed at the far edge of the cave, but many of them had no Spiritual Qi left, having clearly been absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast.

Beside the Spirit Stones were various types of weapons: sabers, swords, spears, halberds, and more; the variety was very complete.

Although the grades were not very high, the quantity was massive; the various weapons stored here were enough to open an armory.

Does this Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast have a peculiar hobby of collecting weapons?

To have stored so many weapons and Spirit Stones, many human Cultivators must have died in the mouth of this Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast.

Looking at the various weapons stored in the cave, Yun Chenfei muttered.

Immediately after, Yun Chenfei's gaze fell upon a blue-black long spear placed in a pile of withered leaves.

The shaft of the spear was entirely blue-black, while the spearhead was dark red, and it was about three point three meters in length.

Enduring the stench, Yun Chenfei bent down and picked up the blue-black long spear.

As soon as he picked up the long spear, he felt a thick Killing Intent pierce straight to his heart, and the spear shaft felt very cold to the touch.

This must be the soul devouring spear. To think it was placed in a pile of withered leaves; the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast must have held this long spear even while sleeping.

From this alone, it is enough to see how much the Bloodthirsty Maned Lion Beast loved the soul devouring spear.

It's a good thing it hasn't transformed into human form yet, otherwise it would definitely have carried it along when going out.

While examining the soul devouring spear in his hand, Yun Chenfei thought to himself.

Subsequently, Yun Chenfei gathered all the valuable items in the cave and put them into his internal space.

Baize, can you transform me into a Yao Beast again?

Yun Chenfei asked in his mind.

No. Although my transformation technique has no restrictions on myself, when cast on others, it can only be used once a day.

Furthermore, it can only last for half an hour at a time, unless I advance in rank, then the duration of the transformation can be extended.

Baize responded in Yun Chenfei's mind.

At this moment, the sky outside had begun to gradually darken.

Night was approaching, and Yun Chenfei did not intend to escape under the cover of night.

Because the forest at night is the domain of Yao Beasts, most Yao Beasts have extremely keen senses of smell and hearing.

They can hear or smell movements and scents from thousands, or even tens of thousands of meters away.

The forest at night is very quiet, and Yun Chenfei's own scent cannot be hidden, so he dared not take the risk of being discovered by countless Yao Beasts to escape at night.

He could only wait until dawn, then rely on Baize's transformation technique to find an opportunity to escape the Misty Forest.

To escape the Misty Forest relying on Baize's transformation technique, a duration of half an hour was clearly insufficient; naturally, the longer the duration, the better.

Baize, what do you need to advance rapidly?

Are Medicinal Pill and Spirit Stone items helpful for your advancement?

At this time, Yun Chenfei released Baize and asked.

Medicinal Pill and Spirit Stone items are helpful for my advancement, but they are not as helpful to me as Yao Beast inner cores.

I am currently only at the Fourth-Tier Demonic Beast Late Stage cultivation level. If I want to advance to the Fifth Order Early Stage, I need about fifty Fifth Order Early Stage Yao Beast inner cores.

Looking at Yun Chenfei, Baize spoke.

Yun Chenfei had already anticipated that as a Divine Beast, Baize would surely require many resources to advance, but he did not expect it would require so many.

A full fifty Fifth Order Early Stage Yao Beast inner cores; and this was just to rise from Late Stage Fourth-Tier to Early Stage Fifth Order.

If these fifty Fifth-Tier Demonic Beast inner cores were eaten by Jing Sheng's Little White Tiger, it would likely be able to jump two major ranks directly.

Fifty Fifth-Tier Demonic Beast inner cores, when applied to Baize, could only promote it by one small level.

Yun Chenfei did not even dare to imagine how many resources Baize would need to advance again once its grade became higher in the future.

After taking out all the Yao Beast inner cores on his body, Yun Chenfei discovered there were 32 Fourth-Tier Demonic Beast inner cores and 18 Fifth Order Early Stage Yao Beast inner cores.

There were 11 Fifth-Tier Demonic Beast Middle Stage inner cores and 3 Fifth-Tier Demonic Beast Late Stage inner cores.

Master, these inner cores are enough for me to upgrade to the Fifth Order Early Stage.

Looking at the Yao Beast inner cores in front of Yun Chenfei, Baize said with eyes shining.

Hmph, hmph!

Master, or 'pig-man'? You better call me clearly.

Recalling that Baize had actually turned his handsome self into a warthog, Pengpeng, Yun Chenfei became furious.

Master, it is Master.

You are the most invincible and handsome in the world, you are my dearest Master.

At this moment, having a request, Baize had to set aside its dignity as a Divine Beast and speak some incredibly insincere words.

That's more like it.

Here, I'll reward you with them. Can you advance before tomorrow morning?

Looking at Baize, who was almost drooling on the ground, Yun Chenfei asked softly.
