Before Li Yuanqing went to the Imperial City, he planned to make a trip to the hinterlands of the Wilderness.
All these years, other than signing in in the Wilderness Valley, Li Yuanqing would go to the Wilderness whenever he was free.
There were many vicious beasts that were not even recorded in the royal library. Li Yuanqing remembered the habits and appearances of these vicious beasts. He remembered that he had encountered a rather special vicious beast in the Wilderness. It was a little similar to the Ba-Serpent that Princess Zhaoyang had mentioned.
However, it didn’t seem to be as big as Princess Zhaoyang said. He planned to take a look and see if he had seen a Ba-Serpent before.
Before going to the Imperial City, he wanted to understand the habits of the Ba-Serpent. Then, he wanted to see how to deal with the Ba-Serpent that specialized in eating humans and devouring millions of people every year.
Moreover, Li Yuanqing had a plan in his heart so he wanted to take a look at the hinterlands.
The wind blew in his ears as he stood on the back of Cow. Moreover, because Cow was especially tall, when looking down from its back, one could see many new buds peeking out from the canopy, lush and green.
A bird was startled from the branch and almost rushed into Li Yuanqing’s arms, but he gently avoided it.
Cow’s huge body was too big for these birds resting on the trees. It was much bigger than a tree.
Cow’s speed was very fast. In less than two hours, they arrived at the hinterlands of the Wilderness. Cow’s roar soon reached the peak of Yang Mountain.
Over there, the Beast King Qilin also ran down happily. Behind him, there were thousands of various vicious beasts running over and prostrating in front of Li Yuanqing.
The Qilin Beast even rubbed against Cow enviously. This fellow who had almost become its food back then was now impressive. After becoming Li Yuanqing’s mount, even he had to kowtow when he saw it.
Cow, who had been rubbed by the Qilin Beast, raised its arrogant head and ignored the Qilin Beast. So what if it was the king of beasts in the Wilderness? Its master, the Nine-Tailed Fox, had a similar status as him. She was also its master’s servant. Hehehe, so even though it was just a mount, its status was higher than the Qilin Beast. It was an elder, so it would not bother with the fact that this brat had almost eaten it.
“Take me to the Grand Canyon. Restrain the remaining vicious beasts. Don’t let them follow…”
Li Yuanqing did not stand on ceremony when he saw the Qilin Beast.
The Qilin Beast was already the Beast King of this Wilderness hinterland. Behind it were its subordinates. He had something serious to do today, so he naturally could not bring a large group of vicious beasts.
The last time he discovered that thing that looked a little like a Ba-Serpent was in the Wilderness Canyon.
The terrain of the canyon was very strange. There were cracks below and underground karst caves. Moreover, there was a strong wind blowing. The area was very large and there were cliffs all around.
Ordinary vicious beasts would not approach that place because there were countless dangers hidden in the cracks and karst caves. They would easily die if they went to the canyon.
Vicious beasts were very smart. They would hide as far away as possible from unknown dangers.
The Qilin Beast understood Li Yuanqing’s words and dismissed its subordinates behind it. Then, it led Li Yuanqing to the Grand Canyon in fear.
This canyon was actually a very dangerous place for the Qilin Beast. It would not come over easily, so it stopped before it led Li Yuanqing completely close to the canyon.
From afar, they could see waves of white fog rising from the canyon. There were also cries that sounded like thousands of horses galloping. The more timid vicious beasts would tighten their tails in fear and run away.
The Qilin Beast was also afraid. It hid behind Li Yuanqing with a whoosh. As Cow was also standing behind Li Yuanqing, the Qilin Beast was hiding behind Cow.
Cow quickly raised its head, wanting to prove to the Qilin Beast that it was not afraid. However, its tightly clamped tail and trembling legs betrayed it.
“Both of you stay here. Don’t run around. I’ll go down!”
Li Yuanqing stood by the side of the canyon and looked down. The thick white fog covered everything, making the bottom of the canyon look exceptionally mysterious. He couldn’t see what was below at all.
Of course, if they were to go down rashly, the strong wind might cause them to lose their balance and fall. Their corpses might not even be found.
The Qilin Beast and Cow were too weak so he would not bring them along.
At this point, Li Yuanqing jumped down. Cow and the Qilin Beast were shocked. They took a few steps back and took another dozen steps back after they thought it. However, they were too close to the canyon, so when the strong wind inside blew up and brushed against the Qilin Beast’s eyes, it jumped away, but felt a burning pain in its eyes. It was so frightened that it did not dare to go forward.
It was too terrifying. This gale could even hurt people?
Li Yuanqing, who had jumped down from the canyon, also felt the strong wind in his ears. It was like a knife cutting his flesh. It was painful. Moreover, it didn’t seem to be useful to open his eyes below because there was white fog everywhere. He could only use his divine sense to sense the location of the canyon.
Li Yuanqing did not know how much time had passed before he fell to the ground after passing through the fog. He felt that the places he stepped on were all stone walls. Moreover, the stone walls were not sharp and sudden. Instead, they were very smooth.
There was a fishy smell in the air, the sound of strong wind, and the sound of splashing water. Li Yuanqing could sense that there was a big river in the canyon.
This was similar to the impression he had of the Grand Canyon he passed by last time.
He followed the sound of the river and searched. Soon, he sensed a vicious beast approaching him at an especially fast speed. In just a few breaths, the vicious beast was less than a few hundred meters away from him.
This speed should be very shocking!
Li Yuanqing did not stand on ceremony either. He quickly attacked with the Clear Sky Sword. He did not care what kind of vicious beast it was. As he stabbed out with his sword, he heard a rumbling sound. A huge thing landed in front of him with a bang.
A squirming body that was more than a hundred meters long was split into two by his sword. His sword energy was too sharp and directly split open a crack in the ground of the canyon.
The python that he had slashed into two was still alive. The blood on its body splattered all over the ground, and the strong smell of blood instantly wafted out.
The smell of blood was like a delicious temptation In this dangerous canyon. It attracted the vicious beasts hiding in the dark. When they smelled the smell of blood, they were all tempted!
Cow, who was standing on the top of the canyon, listened to the strong wind. It did not retreat like the Qilin Beast. It was his master’s mount and had a higher status than the Qilin Beast. It could not lose face now.
Therefore, it took a huge step forward like a canyon. However, suddenly, the canyon emitted a loud vibration!
