1114: C1114 The Power of the Runes

C1114 The Power of the Runes

Zhou Yan frowned. Just as he was about to activate the power of the rune to force these Demonic Beasts back.

However, right at this moment, an extremely dangerous feeling suddenly descended upon him. Immediately after, the sharp teeth of the steel Demonic Beast suddenly lit up with a piercing light. Its sharp teeth were like sharp blades, carrying a destructive power as they pierced towards Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan's pupils constricted. He did not expect these steel Demonic Beasts to know how to cooperate. At first, they did not take the initiative to attack Zhou Yan. Instead, it was as if they were playing a game with him, letting him watch the battle from the side to attract his attention and take the opportunity to attack him.

"Bang..."

In the next second, Zhou Yan raised his arm and threw out a punch.

Zhou Yan's fist was covered with a light golden true energy. When he punched out, it was like a clap of thunder exploding. This steel Demonic Beast was unable to withstand Zhou Yan's strength at all and was directly blown up by his punch.

"This world is indeed full of schemes and intrigues. It seems that these Demonic Beasts are not as simple as I thought..."

Zhou Yan's face darkened slightly. These Demonic Beasts were actually a group of intelligent creatures. They knew how to endure, and they knew how to paralyze the enemy first. Only when the enemy relaxed would they suddenly attack.

"As expected of the Demonic Beast in the ancient ruins, it actually possesses intelligence."

Zhou Yan secretly nodded his head. It seemed that there was indeed a problem with this Secret Realm, or perhaps, these Secret Realm all contained some kind of treasure, and he was lucky enough to encounter an ancient ruin.

"Roar..."

Zhou Yan's mind was racing, and when the Demonic Beasts saw that Zhou Yan had killed one of their companions, they once again adjusted their method and began to revolve around Zhou Yan, as if they were looking for an opportunity to attack.

However, how could their movements escape Zhou Yan's eyes?

"* Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! *"

Suddenly, Zhou Yan's palm shook, and dozens of stones flew out from his fingertips. In an instant, these stones pierced through the heads of these Demonic Beasts, piercing through their skulls. Some of the stones even went deep into their bones, directly crushing their souls.

"Boom..."

At the same time, Zhou Yan waved his twin blades. In an instant, blade lights filled the sky, killing all of these Demonic Beasts.

At this time, Zhou Yan's body was already stained with the blood of many Demonic Beasts. His clothes were already tattered, and there was even a claw mark on Zhou Yan's wrist.

"Awoo..."

Right at this moment, a miserable howl came from the depths of the forest. Immediately after, a scarlet red Demonic Beast that weighed four to five hundred kilograms walked out.

This Demonic Beast was tall and sturdy, with bulging muscles. Its body was covered with red fur, and on its back, there was a thick mane. Within this mane, there were also barbs that flashed with a cold light.

"This is a Magma Lion..."

Seeing the appearance of the Demonic Beast, Zhou Yan's eyes revealed a serious expression.

The Magma Lion was an extremely ferocious Demonic Beast, and there was a special kind of lava liquid flowing in their bodies. This lava liquid was extremely poisonous, and once one was scratched by the Magma Lion, normal humans wouldn't be able to survive.

Moreover, magma lions loved to eat the Demonic Beasts that hunted them the most. This was a characteristic of herbivorous Demonic Beasts.

Every single one of these Magma Lions had the strength of a peak early stage Rank Two Demonic Beast, which was equivalent to a warrior-level cultivator.

"Aooo...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

With the appearance of the magma lion, the Demonic Beasts surrounding Zhou Yan seemed to have been summoned. One by one, they all ran to the side of the magma lion and laid on the ground.

These Demonic Beasts seemed to be extremely respectful towards the magma lion.

As for the Magma Lion, it stood on top of their heads and looked down at Zhou Yan.

"It seems that these Demonic Beasts treat me as their king, and they also think that I am the overlord of this domain, so they want to rely on me."2

"However, I don't need these trash. No matter who sent them, since they dared to attack me, I must make them pay the price."

With a thought from Zhou Yan, strands of true essence fluctuations instantly spread out from his body, turning into a ball of black mist in front of the Demonic Beasts.

"Roar!"

These Demonic Beasts had obviously also sensed the dangerous aura and let out an angry roar. Their green eyes were filled with vigilance.

Although these Demonic Beasts had intelligence, they did not have much intelligence. They only had the most basic instincts.

"Whoosh..."

Right at this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly stretched out his right hand and grasped at the air. A pitch-black sword appeared out of thin air and landed in his hand.

Zhou Yan waved his right hand, and a sword light flashed.

"Puchi!"

This sword light lightly sliced across the neck of the magma lion, cutting off its head.

"Huuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

After taking care of a lion, Zhou Yan let out a long breath. The skin of the lion was as hot as magma. Zhou Yan estimated that even he would feel a lot of pain if he was burned by these flames.

The defensive abilities of these Demonic Beasts were even stronger than those of the Armored Dragon Bulls, and Zhou Yan's fighting style had also become more and more intense.

However, the appearance of this magma lion also caused the other Demonic Beasts in the valley to become much more cautious. Each and every one of them avoided Zhou Yan's attacks and did not dare to continue approaching Zhou Yan. This caused Zhou Yan's wish to practice to fail.

"Forget it, I'm not going to practice."

Zhou Yan shook his head. Although these Demonic Beasts were weak, they had an advantage in their durability. If he used up a large amount of true essence to wear down these Demonic Beasts, Zhou Yan would probably not be able to hold on any longer.

After all, Zhou Yan's current cultivation was only at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm. Even if he devoured a Demonic Beast, it would not be able to increase his cultivation. Instead, it would consume too much of his true energy.

"Swish!"

At this moment, a black shadow flashed past and pounced towards Zhou Yan.

"Bam!"

Zhou Yan saw the black shadow from the corner of his eyes. He immediately took a step forward and quickly moved to the left, barely dodging the attack of the black shadow. Then, with a sweep of the sword in his hand, a sharp sword light slashed towards the black shadow.

"Bam!"

The sword light flashed, and a huge force surged out. At this moment, Zhou Yan's pupils constricted: "Not good, this is actually a Flood Dragon..."

Zhou Yan's heart suddenly beat faster.

The Flood Dragon was seven or eight meters long, and its entire body was covered in black scales. Its tail was like a steel whip.
