259: Chapter 259 Jade Beauty Stepping on the Light Fox

Returning to that alien mountain range through the Teleportation Array in Wantai Forest, Nie Ning felt an indescribable sense of comfort at this moment.

It was as if he originally belonged here; he felt the entire world was accommodating him, and even mobilizing Elemental Power had become much easier.

"It seems the World Tree leaf fragment is taking effect."

A peculiar luster flashed in Nie Ning's eyes.

Given the current situation, it seemed the world had already 'recognized' him as a native, equivalent to having a local residency.

This way, it would likely be difficult for high-level practitioners to see anything different about him.

However, the most important thing now was to leave this place first, otherwise, it would be awkward if he had come to the wrong world.

Nie Ning flew out of the underground cave and returned to the surface, staring slightly dazed at the forest that had not yet fully grown.

Shaking his head slightly, Nie Ning took a deep breath and stopped thinking about those things.

Many things cannot be redone; what he needed to do now was to find and kill Paramond and Ryan!

...

After discerning the direction, Nie Ning flew towards the southern direction, where the exotic beasts were weakest, based on the strength statistics he had gathered during his previous exploration.

Because powerful exotic beasts occupy the center of their territories, he could use this to roughly infer which direction would lead out of the mountain range.

But although he had identified the direction, after flying for two days, he still hadn't flown out of this mountain range.

For a moment, Nie Ning began to doubt his life choices.

After all, with his current strength, the time he had spent flying was enough to fly back and forth across Wantai Forest a dozen times.

'Bang!'

Just as Nie Ning was wondering if he had found the right direction, the sound of an explosion suddenly came from below.

Nie Ning looked closely, and two exotic beasts came into view.

One of them was called a Thunder Sun Rhino, a peak Rank 2 exotic beast that could use light and thunder-attributed Elemental Power; its hard skin across its entire body could resist most attacks.

Nie Ning looked at the other exotic beast with some surprise; to be precise, it was an old acquaintance of Nie Ning's.

A Rank 4 exotic beast, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox!

A super rare type of exotic beast.

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox was about three and a half meters long, its entire body covered in jade-green fur, while the fur on its head was of clearly separated iridescent colors.

Its four hooves were snow-white, and as it walked, it would form a silken light path cushioned by white spots of light beneath its feet.

Nie Ning had liked the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox very much before, but he was delayed for a moment by Sensen; when he went back to look for it, the injured Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox had already disappeared.

In the period that followed, Nie Ning had tried to find the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox several times.

The results, naturally, went without saying.

He hadn't expected that after so much time, he would actually encounter that super rare Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox again!

Although this Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox had recovered, he was no longer the frustrated little wizard he once was.

The reason he was certain this was the same one was because, as the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox had left that area because it was afraid of the Green Steel Devouring Strange Vine, but that didn't mean it would be afraid of Nie Ning!

Thinking back to the experience of being tricked, a look of anger appeared in the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox's pale blue eyes; it dropped the prey in its mouth and stared at Nie Ning with a face full of hostility.

As energy gathered in its mouth, a beam of white light shot out, attacking Nie Ning in the air.

Seeing this, Nie Ning was surrounded by blood mist and evaded the attack at extreme speed.

At that moment, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox stepped on light and moved, arriving near Nie Ning in an instant, opening its bloody maw to bite at Nie Ning's head.

Seeing the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox biting towards him, Nie Ning quickly drew the xueyan bladeless from his waist and unleashed a Wind-Thunder Blade to force the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox back.

With a wave of Nie Ning's hand, several Ice Chains attacked the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox from all directions.

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox gave a low roar, its fur twitching slightly as a large number of green light spikes burst forth, destroying all the Ice Chains in the blink of an eye.

Next, the man and the fox shuttled through the forest.

Explosions sounded one after another, trees and low-level exotic beasts in the forest suffered, and a large number of birds and beasts fled in all directions.

Clearly, Nie Ning had still underestimated how troublesome the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox could be.

After a round of fighting, multiple wounds appeared on Nie Ning's body, and he was stained red with blood.

Particularly at the shoulder, a piece of flesh had been torn off by the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox, while on his abdomen were three claw marks deep enough to show bone.

The main issue was that the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox's speed was too fast; it could go anywhere in the sky or on the ground, and Nie Ning couldn't gain any advantage at all.

However, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox wasn't doing much better.

Its originally beautiful fur was scorched black, its body was covered in wounds sliced open by the xueyan bladeless, and its left front leg had lost sensation due to frost damage.

Its jaw area was nearly pierced through, and blood continuously dripped onto the ground along its fur.

At this moment, as the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox looked at the human before it, it had already begun to feel like retreating.

It clearly felt that the opponent's strength was inferior to its own, yet this guy could not only transform, but his physical fitness and recovery ability were also practically monstrous.

He could also use strange multi-fusion techniques, making him even more of a freak than it, an exotic beast!

It was precisely because of this that the opponent adopted a fighting style of completely trading injury for injury.

If this continued, regardless of whether this damned human could hold out, it certainly couldn't take much more.

"I'll give you a chance to become my tamed beast, otherwise, I won't be holding back anymore."

Nie Ning pointed the xueyan bladeless directly at the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox.

As a fox-type exotic beast with extraordinary strength, it could naturally understand what Nie Ning said.

"You damned human! You think you can contract with me? Take a look at your own reflection and see what a freak you are!"

At that moment, a silvery bell-like female voice filled with anger entered Nie Ning's mind.

Hearing the voice, Nie Ning couldn't help but widen his eyes, a look of surprise appearing on his face, and his gaze towards the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox became even more fond.

Because due to the living environment, although high-level exotic beasts' intelligence rises significantly, this type of exotic beast that possesses human-like traits rarely appears.

After all, generally speaking, exotic beasts follow the law of the jungle.

They don't need any means of communication, their usage rate of Spiritual Power is weak, and their intellectual development is like that of primitive people, relying entirely on innate abilities bestowed by their bloodline.

"Disgusting human! What kind of look is that! Go to hell!"

Seeing the greed flowing in Nie Ning's eyes, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox was instantly enraged.

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox's fur stood on end, green light swirled around its body, and then it manifested a ten-meter-long giant green light fox that lunged to bite Nie Ning.

Seeing this, Nie Ning knew he couldn't hold back.

As the magic power within his body surged out, the god-forbidden ring at his wrist circled around the hilt of the xueyan bladeless.

He swung the long blade from bottom to top, and a white blade qi of nearly five meters erupted from the edge, colliding with the giant green light fox.

'Bang!'

The two energies collided, and all trees within a thousand meters were shredded.
