It was evident that this valley was not a place those demon wolves could live in.
Yang Chen could sense a different kind of tranquility compared to the outside world.
While Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian were too frightened to venture inside, he was different. He was genuinely curious about what mysteries lay within the valley.
With that thought, Yang Chen strode boldly into the valley.
As soon as he entered, he felt the difference between the inside and the outside of the valley.
The spiritual energy inside the valley seemed to be even more vast than the outside!
Not only that, but the spiritual flowers and strange grasses in the valley were blooming much more vigorously than those outside, making Yang Chen feel that he would definitely find some rarer spiritual herbs within the valley.
“This is strange,” Yang Chen muttered to himself. “Such a treasure land, yet the demon wolves fled outward. Strange, very strange!”
Soon after, he didn’t bother thinking anymore. In the blink of an eye, he realized, “These spiritual herbs are even more valuable than those inside the Beast Mountain Inner Circle. It’s like I’ve stumbled upon a treasure land.”
With that thought, Yang Chen didn’t hesitate and picked all the Lingcao treasures and put them in his storage bag.
He wouldn’t be stingy or polite about this.
In a moment, his storage bag had swelled up, and the resources he had collected were still just a drop in the ocean for the entire valley.
The more it was like this, the more confused Yang Chen became: “It is strange, in theory, all the demonic beasts should be desperate to come here. With so many resources and treasures, any spiritual beast would not ignore this place. But why haven’t I seen a single demonic beast in the valley?”
Yang Chen grew more puzzled as he thought.
According to what Feng Changxiao and Murong Liuhe said, the Spectral Wolves that had surrounded them had come from this valley.
Were there no other demonic beasts except for those Spectral Wolves?
Yang Chen, feeling doubtful, carefully collected the Lingcao, while cautiously moving forward.
As he went further, he gradually detected some movements.
“What’s that sound?” Yang Chen furrowed his brows, only hearing a resounding boom that sounded like thunder.
Though it resembled thunder, Yang Chen could clearly discern that it was not thunder, but rather the roar of a demonic beast. However, he couldn’t quite determine what was going on.
Regardless, this only piqued Yang Chen’s curiosity, causing him to quicken his pace. With a few steps, he finally saw the situation up ahead.
“This…”
Yang Chen’s expression tensed, “It’s actually two bears sleeping?
Yes, the thunderous roaring sound turned out to be just the snoring of the two black bears.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel both amused and bitter. After careful consideration, he finally figured out the whole story.
“Judging by the bite marks from the Spectral Wolves on these two black bears, they must be the kings of this valley. The wolves must have desired this place and disputed the bears for it. I guess they left the valley after losing the fight!”
Yang Chen said helplessly, “No wonder the Spectral Wolves, which are naturally group animals, only appeared in the tens, not the hundreds. Turns out they were all killed by these two black bears. It’s a pity that Feng Xiaotian and Murong Liuhe had such bad luck, running into the wolves right as they were leaving. Those newly defeated wolves happened to bump into two servings of fresh prey; how could they let them go?”
With this understanding, the situation wasn’t difficult to explain.
“In that case, these two black bears might be more powerful than I thought…” Yang Chen started to feel uneasy.
Being able to drive a pack of Spectral Wolves out of the valley, these two black bears were definitely not something he could meddle with. After all, he didn’t have the confidence to face a group of demon wolves on his own.
Dozens of them were one thing, but hundreds would be truly terrifying.
“The combined strength of these two black bears might even exceed the Body Refining Realm 8th level. Weren’t we told that there weren’t any especially powerful demonic beasts in Monster Beast Mountain?” Yang Chen shook his head, attributing the discrepancy to the Yang family’s intelligence not being 100% accurate.
With bears of such strength, Yang Chen wouldn’t trifle with them. Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly noticed something.
Yang Chen took a deep breath, “It’s actually a Golden Elephant Fruit—the best fruit for refining the body! If I had this fruit, I could forge my body like iron during the Body Refining Realm.” He hadn’t made a mistake.
But the only dilemma was…
“This Golden Elephant Fruit is growing right where the two black bears are sleeping. Damn, are these two black bears guarding it specifically?” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes.
It was the black bear’s nature to steal.
They loved to steal from others, but they tightly guarded their own belongings. Anyone trying to steal from a black bear—even just a single hair—risked paying with their life. No one had ever dared steal from black bears.
Yang Chen fell into deep contemplation as he struggled to make a decision. His longing for the Golden Elephant Fruit was evident in his eyes.
Feeling conflicted, Yang Chen took a deep breath, “Seems like I’ll have to take a gamble. The Golden Elephant Fruit is extremely precious and hard to come by. Today’s opportunity may never come again. No matter what, I have to try. If it comes to it, I’ll just have to fight these two black bears!”
As soon as Yang Chen made up his mind, he cautiously tiptoed towards the two black bears.
This entire journey went smoothly, and Yang Chen didn’t encounter any trouble. His control over his own rhythm was also perfect.
This brought even more joy to Yang Chen, and in this moment, he had already successfully bypassed the two black bears and arrived at the place where the Golden Elephant Fruit was.
These two black bears clearly regarded the Golden Elephant Fruit as their prized treasure, fearing it would be lost.
Yang Chen didn’t dare to waste any time as he carefully held the Golden Elephant Fruit, ready to grab it and leave at any moment.
However, just as he reached for it, the stone platform holding the Golden
Elephant Fruit suddenly broke.
“Roar!” A deafening roar abruptly emerged.
Yang Chen turned his head with difficulty, facing the now awakened and enraged giant bears.
He felt as if he had been tricked.
Weren’t black bears supposed to be stupid?
But what was the stone platform just now?
That was clearly a Mechanism Technique! As soon as the Golden Elephant Fruit was touched, the stone platform would crumble, make a noise, and wake the two black bears. If a beast that could make mechanism techniques was still considered stupid, then Yang Chen couldn’t imagine what a smart demonic beast would be like..
