"Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey..."
Returning to his dwelling, Lin Sheng had Wang Dehai and Xiao Shi handle the carriage, while he himself carried the iron crate containing the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey into his cultivation room.
Full of anticipation, he opened the iron crate, revealing the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey still in a coma inside.
This was a true Spirit Beast; he had never integrated one before.
The Blood Demon Centipede was merely a Pseudo-Spirit Beast, and the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile he integrated was a Spirit Beast cub. Neither could be considered a true Spirit Beast.
"Let me see what kind of surprise you can give me."
Looking at the comatose Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey curled into a ball, Lin Sheng reached out to touch the wound on its wrist.
There was a faint scar on the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's wrist, clearly caused by the Cyan-gold Chain, with traces of blood.
Just as he approached the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, the previously comatose Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey suddenly opened its eyes, filled with ferocity and malice. It opened its large mouth, revealing a maw of sharp white teeth, and quickly bit towards Lin Sheng's neck.
Lin Sheng's face remained completely unchanged, as if he had anticipated this scene. A large hand quickly swelled and heavily smashed onto the approaching furry head.
With a loud bang, he held nothing back in this strike.
The Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's head tilted back. However, to Lin Sheng's surprise, it seemed to be unharmed, only shaking its head, merely somewhat dazed.
Within a breath, it recovered its clarity and bared its teeth at Lin Sheng, revealing a ferocious appearance.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng frowned. Without hesitation, he immediately integrated the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile.
He began attacking the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey again.
Knowing that this monkey's bones were very hard, he used killing moves in almost every strike after integrating.
Due to being restrained and having consumed a large amount of Soft Bone Powder, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey faced Lin Sheng's rain-like attacks. Although it roared continuously and desperately resisted and counterattacked, it was completely ineffective.
It could only watch as the punches and kicks landed on its body.
After a moment, Lin Sheng stopped his movements, looking at the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey with its legs curled up and hands covering its head.
In that short time, he had attacked it dozens of times, yet aside from emitting cries of pain, it suffered no substantial damage.
Although he hadn't used explosive secret techniques or activated the Earth Affinity talent at this moment, with his current physical fitness and the strength boost from the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile, the power he could unleash during an outburst would definitely not be inferior to that of average Early Stage Blood Transportation Warriors.
Yet, judging by the current situation, he couldn't truly break through the defense of this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey.
"Is this the power of a Spirit Beast?"
Even though he had long known that truly mature Spirit Beasts were powerful, witnessing this situation firsthand still made him sigh with emotion.
One should know that Spirit Beasts like the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey are not known for their defense.
No wonder it is as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary Blood Transportation Warriors to deal with a Spirit Beast one-on-one.
At this moment, as soon as Lin Sheng stopped his movements, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, which had just been covering its head in defense, now roared with resentment in its eyes and pounced over.
"Seeking death!!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng's eyes turned cold.
Although the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey was still restrained by the Cyan-gold Chain and unable to break free, there was no fixed object, so it still had some freedom of movement.
Lin Sheng knew very well that now that he had left the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall and didn't have special medicine like Soft Bone Powder specifically for exotic beasts, he had to beat this monkey into submission.
Thinking this, he no longer hesitated. He immediately integrated the Blood Demon Centipede, then activated the Earth Affinity talent, and simultaneously used the Ape Demon Transformation secret technique.
His entire body immediately swelled up like a balloon. Fortunately, his cultivation room was quite spacious, otherwise, he would have been somewhat restricted.
Seeing the huge changes in the person opposite, a hint of surprise appeared in the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's eyes, but it was quickly filled with ferocity again.
It pounced towards Lin Sheng, but the next moment it was pressed down heavily onto the ground by a reddish-brown large hand.
The furry head was directly pressed deep into the ground by a single palm, almost embedding half of its body.
However, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's body soon vibrated strangely, and it slipped out of Lin Sheng's large hand like a slippery loach.
It actually bit Lin Sheng's forearm with one bite.
The sharp white teeth directly pierced the tough skin and drilled in.
He clearly felt a powerful suction force coming from the sharp teeth embedded in his muscles, madly absorbing the blood essence in his body.
Looking at the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey clinging to his arm, sucking madly without regard for anything, Lin Sheng's lips curled into a grin, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face.
"You like to suck? Then I'll let you suck your fill!!"
Instantly, the blood essence in Lin Sheng's body surged, blood vessels bulged, and the originally bright red blood immediately turned a black-gray color.
It was as if a large amount of ink had been dropped into the bright red blood.
In just the blink of an eye, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's body trembled violently, and it immediately tried to pull its head out.
But before it could pull free, a large hand had already pressed its newly lifted head back down.
The Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey struggled madly, but it was held down by the large hand. No matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free.
The rich blood essence that was like fine wine and emitted a huge attraction to it just a second ago, was now like arsenic, making it want to avoid it at all costs.
A large amount of thick black-gray blood surged from the wound and poured into the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's mouth.
Outside the dwelling, Big Yellow ambled along the long street, followed by over a dozen domestic and wild dogs of various colors, sizes, and breeds.
Big Yellow walked at the front, head held high, surrounded by these dogs, looking majestic and imposing. Only its bare tail seemed a bit out of place, but this point clearly didn't affect its status as the undisputed leader of this group of dogs.
And the two dogs closest to him, one white and one black, were surprisingly two female dogs, occasionally rubbing against him, causing Big Yellow to show a look of enjoyment on his face.
Since arriving in Wanhua City, at first, it only dared to stay in the courtyard and didn't dare to go out. However, after an accidental opportunity to go out, it saw a few domestic dogs wandering the street.
Initially, it was still a bit timid. After all, in its memory, during its days as a stray, it was often bullied by other dogs, so it usually chose to take a detour when it saw other dogs.
It wanted to avoid these few dogs, but unexpectedly, they cornered it.
Just as it was about to collapse on the ground, legs in the air, indicating no danger, these domestic dogs seemed to sense something. They immediately lay down, trembling all over, as if they were quite afraid of it.
Seeing a few other wild dogs acting the same way towards it, Big Yellow's courage immediately grew. Like discovering a new world, it spent most of its time wandering outside on the days Lin Sheng was not present.
Using the word 'wandering' might be a bit inappropriate. Using the phrase 'claiming territory' might be more suitable.
At this moment, the dogs following it were the subordinates it had recruited these past few days.
As for the two little female dogs beside it, they were its beloved concubines.
To display its authority, it even gave itself the nickname Dog Overlord.
It brought its subordinates back this time to show them its daily meals and also to broaden their horizons.
Due to Lin Sheng's specific instructions, Big Yellow's daily meals could be said to be quite abundant, mainly consisting of high-grade ordinary exotic beast meat.
Xiao Shi was responsible for its meals, and Xiao Shi also seemed to be quite fond of Big Yellow, so he would give it a little extra even when no one was watching.
This also made Big Yellow's originally messy fur shiny and lustrous, indeed looking much more handsome than before.
Soon, they arrived outside the dwelling's main gate. Big Yellow skillfully went to its exclusive doggy door, directly burrowed in, and its group of subordinates followed closely behind, entering one after another.
After entering, they were all curiously looking around, examining their Leader's home.
Big Yellow didn't pay attention to these bumpkins who hadn't seen the world. It strutted its chest and took small steps to its own food bowl.
However, at this moment, the food bowl only contained some leftover beast meat, which it had eaten yesterday.
Seeing this, a look of confusion appeared on its face. It looked left and right but didn't see Xiao Shi's figure.
"Woof!"
It barked with some dissatisfaction.
Then it twitched its nose, wanting to see where that irresponsible fellow had gone.
Meanwhile, the other subordinates also gathered around. Looking at the leftover beast meat in the food bowl, they all plunged their heads in and started fighting over it.
Big Yellow didn't pay attention to these subordinates at the moment because it seemed to smell a familiar scent.
And there was also an aura that made it feel quite terrified.
"What's going on??"
Big Yellow looked at the room furthest inside the courtyard with confusion.
And the next moment, a loud bang came from the room. The originally locked door shattered, and a furry yellow figure flew out, landing at its feet.
It was only less than a meter away from Big Yellow.
Hiss!!
Big Yellow stood stunned on the spot, only seeing the furry thing turn its head, revealing a hideous face with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, baring a mouthful of white teeth at it. A thick, foul smell hit Big Yellow's face, and the sharp, white teeth were about to bite it.
Big Yellow felt its entire body go limp and its eyes blur. From this furry monkey, it only felt a huge Innate deterrence, making it unable to move at all.
At this moment, another massive red figure leaped out of the room, stepping directly on the yellow monkey and crushing it into the ground. Then, a large hand reached out and grabbed the limp monkey's head.
"You bastard, why are you being so obedient now?"
The red figure seemed to notice something. It turned around and looked at the yellow wild dog beside it, which was trembling like a sieve. Frowning slightly, it gently lifted its foot and lifted the immobile Big Yellow into the air.
"Big Yellow, what are you standing here foolishly doing?"
Meanwhile, the dozen or so dogs that had been fighting for food in the courtyard just now were now running out of the doggy door like mad, tails tucked between their legs. Some even scrambled up the wall with lightning speed and jumped out.
Lin Sheng didn't pay attention to why there were so many dogs in the courtyard. He carried the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, which no longer had any ability to resist, back into the room.
Only Big Yellow, who had just emerged from the state of shock in the corner, let out a mournful cry, jumped high into the air, and burrowed into the woodpile in the courtyard.
Outside the dwelling, the domestic and wild dogs that had just fled heard the mournful cry and looked back with some confusion, communicating with each other in their unique way.
"That sounded like the Leader's cry just now."
"Is that terrifying red monster the Leader's owner?"
"Maybe. But what did he call the Leader just now?"
"It sounded like... he called him Big Yellow..."
"No, didn't the Leader say his name was Overlord..."
Just like that, a bunch of mongrels of various colors, filled with confusion, returned to their respective homes.
In the room.
At this moment, Lin Sheng had returned to his normal size.
As for the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, under its messy fur, its originally fair skin had acquired a layer of black-gray color.
It was clearly poisoned. Not only that, but its hands and feet hung limply, and its hand and leg bones seemed to be completely shattered.
The violent and ferocious aura it had previously emitted had completely disappeared, replaced by an indescribable weakness and listlessness.
Although its eyes still held resentment when looking at Lin Sheng, they were mostly filled with fear.
It was much more obedient than before.
Looking at the listless Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, although Lin Sheng had beaten it into submission, he was still quite surprised.
One should know that he had unleashed his full power just now.
Not only did he crush its bones, but he also poured a large amount of poisonous blood essence into its mouth.
He was quite familiar with the toxicity of his Three Corpse Soul Severing Palm's poison. By directly pouring it into its internal organs, he was originally worried that the other party would be poisoned to death, so he thought that if it showed any signs of abnormality, he would immediately withdraw the poison from its body.
He didn't expect that the other party's state was merely much weaker, and it didn't seem to be in any life-threatening danger.
And this was a Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey that had been imprisoned for an unknown amount of time, and had long been consuming Soft Bone Powder, so its state was already far from its peak.
It was hard to imagine how powerful this thing would be in its true prime.
"Are Spirit Beasts really this powerful?"
Lin Sheng's brows furrowed.
Although he had never fought a true Spirit Beast before.
Right now, the combat power displayed by this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey was simply too abnormal.
The Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey was only an Elementary Level Spirit Beast. Could it be that even Elementary Level Spirit Beasts are this powerful?
Or is there something unusual about this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey?
He was inclined towards the second guess. Even if an Elementary Level Spirit Beast was strong, it couldn't be to this extent.
It was much more troublesome to deal with than the Blood Demon Centipede from back then.
One should know that the Blood Demon Centipede should be considered quite strong among Pseudo-Spirit Beasts.
"Let me see what's going on with you..."
Without further hesitation, Lin Sheng extended a finger and inserted it into the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's wound.
Although he could obtain information about a Spirit Beast by touching its blood, he didn't focus on it during combat, or sometimes he would simply temporarily hide this ability.
Now, letting go of the ability, as soon as his finger touched the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's wound, a series of information immediately surfaced in his consciousness.
Soon, Lin Sheng's pupils contracted.
