11: Kill the Lightning Leopard

Suffering such a heavy blow, the Lightning Leopard let out a painful roar.

Its body, accompanied by the impact of the retractable staff, flew directly towards the Osmanthus Tree behind it!

Bang!!!

A loud noise rang out as the Lightning Leopard crashed into the Osmanthus Tree, spitting out bloody fragments of its internal organs.

Having landed a successful hit, the Golden Armor Fire Ape did not hesitate, pressing its advantage.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Several more blows rained down, each one delivered with full force.

The Lightning Leopard only struggled for a few seconds before succumbing to these multiple fatal strikes, dying on the spot.

When it died, its eyes bulged, looking as if it had died with grievances.

After the Lightning Leopard died, an imperceptible white Qi from its body merged into the Golden Armor Fire Ape's body.

The Golden Armor Fire Ape only felt comfortable all over, its strength having increased significantly.

Ding, the Golden Armor Fire Ape killed the Lightning Leopard, gaining 130 experience points.

Li Yao's mind echoed with the System's notification.

Currently, his experience points had accumulated to 350, with 150 experience points remaining until the next level.

After successfully killing the Lightning Leopard, the Golden Armor Fire Ape easily climbed up the Osmanthus Tree and brought Li Yao down.

"Well done, Golden Armor Fire Ape."

After receiving Li Yao's praise, the Golden Armor Fire Ape was as happy as a two-meter-tall child, gesticulating wildly.

Originally, he was just a weak Blazing Fire Monkey.

But ever since Li Yao summoned and contracted him, his beast life had undergone earth-shattering changes!

All of this was Li Yao's doing!

He swore to protect his master well!

He would absolutely not let his master get hurt!

After patting the Golden Armor Fire Ape's head as a sign of approval, Wang Chong came to the Lightning Leopard's corpse.

"Alas, my luck is really bad; I still haven't gotten a key."

Li Yao couldn't help but complain a few times; without a key, it meant he couldn't safely leave the Secret Realm for a while.

"Golden Armor Fire Ape, bring that Lightning Leopard's corpse over."

Li Yao pointed at the Lightning Leopard's corpse, which had been beaten to death by the Golden Armor Fire Ape, and said to the Golden Armor Fire Ape.

The Golden Armor Fire Ape nodded in response, bouncing and leaping, quickly arriving in front of the Lightning Leopard's corpse.

The Lightning Leopard was a full two meters long, and the rudimentary shape of its muscles was clearly visible on its body.

Its weight was estimated to be around 500 jin.

However, the Golden Armor Fire Ape easily lifted the Lightning Leopard's corpse.

After arriving in front of Li Yao, he threw the corpse onto the ground.

Li Yao glanced at the Lightning Leopard's corpse, then placed both corpses into the corpse collection bag.

"Let's go, let's continue to see if there are any other exotic beasts around here."

Besides looking for exotic beasts, he also had to be careful of the people chasing him from behind.

After all, the weakest of those guys had Soldier-level strength.

A few minutes after Li Yao left with the Golden Armor Fire Ape, a Chasing Wind Hound finally arrived.

Upon discovering the strong smell of blood in the air and the lingering Qi from Li Yao, it immediately called out to its master.

"You're saying that kid is not far away?"

Howl!

"Understood, I'll notify Scarface now."

Skinny Monkey pulled out a communicator from his pocket and began to transmit information to Scarface.

Not far away, Scarface, who received the message, looked towards the east.

He took out his communicator, then summoned the remaining two subordinates, and after they all gathered, he ran towards Skinny Monkey's location.

According to their speculation, Li Yao's strength was very high.

He had just contracted a beast, yet he could kill exotic beasts in Zhaoyao Mountain.

It seemed Li Zun had given Li Yao many treasures.

"Go, keep up, that kid can't run far!"

After reporting the information, Skinny Monkey continued to run towards Li Yao's location.

He hoped to catch Li Yao at the first opportunity.

Even if he couldn't catch him, keeping Li Yao there would be good.

"How great it would be if we could kill that kid."

Unfortunately, they needed to capture him alive; after all, only a living captive could threaten Li Zun.

This, in turn, increased their difficulty.

At this moment, outside.

Li Zun was waiting for information.

The soldier operating the drone was under a bit of pressure.

Because behind him was his superior, the Garrison Commander.

And besides the Garrison Commander, there was also a legendary Guardian of the Nation.

To say there wasn't much pressure would be a joke.

"Why has it taken so long to find that brat Li Yao?"

According to the information, Li Yao had indeed entered the Nanshan Secret Realm.

However, after the drones were dispatched, they had been continuously searching the outer perimeter.

Yet, they still hadn't found any trace of Li Yao.

Even in the Gathering Place within the Nanshan Secret Realm, he hadn't been found.

"That... Garrison Commander, our drones have searched the outer perimeter once, and haven't found Li Yao."

"You mean, Li Yao entered the inner perimeter?"

"Yes, yes." If he wasn't found in the outer perimeter, there were only two possibilities.

Either he was killed and his body hidden.

Or he entered the inner perimeter.

The first is probably impossible; after all, Li Yao's father is the Guardian of the Nation, and he has many life-saving treasures.

How could he be killed in the outer perimeter?

Even if he were to be killed, he could last for a long time and definitely wouldn't go undiscovered.

So, the only explanation is that Li Yao ran into the inner perimeter.

Li Zun, upon learning that Li Yao had entered the inner perimeter, was also amused with anger.

"This brat, his courage is truly not ordinary."

"He just contracted a beast, and he dares to run into the inner perimeter."

"Guardian of the Nation, your Young Master might be confused."

"How about this, we immediately send people into the inner perimeter?"

Li Zun shook his head after hearing this, saying: "No need, this brat has life-saving measures I left on him; if something really goes wrong, I will sense it."

The Garrison Commander, upon hearing this, was filled with envy.

"Never mind, you should still send a drone in."

A moment later, Li Zun said to the Guardian of the Nation.

If it weren't for his strength being too great, preventing him from entering the Secret Realm.

He probably would have already entered the Nanshan Secret Realm to find Li Yao.

After finding Li Yao, he would definitely give that brat a good beating!

After glancing at Li Zun's expression, the Garrison Commander also shook his head.

He then ordered his subordinates to dispatch a drone into the inner perimeter.

However, the inner perimeter was vast, and no one knew where Li Yao had actually run off to.

But, if their guess wasn't wrong, Li Yao should have run to the territory of Zhaoyao Mountain.

After all, only the territory of Zhaoyao Mountain was connected to the outer perimeter.
