Chapter 40 Following The Wolves

Yun Tian observed to see if they understood what he said. The wolves had been watching him the entire time. They noticed that he was trying to tell them something. 

When they got the meat of the Demonic Beast those two wolves were excited instead of scared like they were before. They instantly ate it all except for the bones.

They could eat the meat and skin, but the bones were too tough for them to crack. Demonic beasts' bodies were their strong points and these wolves were an entire realm below the bear.

Seeing them instantly eat everything except for the bones so quickly, Yun Tian was happy.

Fortunately the wolves seemed to understand what Yun Tian was telling them. They were confused and scared, but at the end they realized what he wanted. One of the wolves who ate the meat gestured with it’s head that Yun Tian would follow it.

Yun Tian was excited since he was right and said while nodding “Yes I will follow.”

He put the bear’s corpse away into his spatial bag along with the demonic beast core.

He followed them and they brought him through the forest. He travelled slower with them leading him, but still at a decent pace.

They weren’t leading him too far into the wilderness. He thought, 'Good, it looks like they are leading me to another demonic beast equal to early Dantian Building. There should only be ones of that strength around here.’

He didn’t travel in the trees and instead followed right behind them with the crane flight skill since he figured that there was no point in being stealthy with the wolves there.

Yun Tian saw up ahead a clearing with some lions. There were some lions lying around a rock with a larger lion on it. The lions looked like normal lions except for their abnormal size and the occasional sparks in the bigger lion’s mane.

He knew that the one in the middle was a demonic beast instantly. He was happy that the wolves led him here and he was happy because at this moment the wolves had stopped far away trying to gesture to him to go towards the lions.

It seemed that the wolves understood the use of sneak attacks. They were just outside of the large clearing behind some trees.

Yun Tian counted about ten wild beast realm lions and the one Demonic Beast Realm lion. He thought, 'I could try and use my speed to attack the lion before he can react, but he is in the middle of the clearing quite far away from the trees.’

‘I have nowhere to hide. I can only try to kill it as fast as possible and then deal with the rest.’

He didn’t want to make any noise so he gestured to the wolves to stay here. He was mostly doing this to the one who looked like he had taken the role as their leader. He was also one of the ones who had gotten the meat earlier.

He looked like he understood so Yun Tian got ready to attack. Even though he was outnumbered they were way below him in strength and he thought inwardly ‘Even if I fight all of them at once without the element of surprise I am sure I would still win.’

He deployed Fleeting Steps and traveled so that he would emerge from the trees with the back of the Demonic Beast Realm lion facing him. He emerged from the trees and since he made no sound while travelling it wasn’t until one of the lions lying around roared that all the rest of the lions turned to look at the thing flashing toward them.

That’s right, to these lions all they saw was Yun Tian flashing toward them since he was so fast while using Fleeting Steps.

Even to the demonic lion he could barely catch Yun Tian’s figure. He Just roared with more sparks raging in his mane while Yun Tian was getting closer when he abruptly sped up and slashed with his sword.

One flash of light later the demonic lion’s head was on the ground and the rest of the lions just completely stopped moving as they prostrated themselves on the ground and cowered as they looked at him.

‘I forgot just how much stronger I have gotten. How should I deal with the rest? I have the wolves to help me find more demonic beasts so I don’t really need these lions. Should I kill them?’

‘Whatever I guess I will kill them and then give them to the wolves. I won’t get much from selling their parts. Plus it will incentivise the wolves to help me more.’

He quickly sped around beheading them just the same as he did before.

The wolves were watching the entire time so he called out and gestured for them to come over. The clearing was quite large so he had to wait for them. When they got there he cut off the lion’s arms and gave them to the leading wolf again and to a different one than before.

He figured the leader who was smarter should get more and decided to spread out the rest of the rewards. They quickly swallowed the meat. With every piece of meat they ate he could see them becoming visibly stronger.

He thought, 'If I keep on giving them this meat, maybe one could reach the Demonic Beast Realm.’

Then he pointed at the lion corpses all around and said, "All yours.”

They quickly got to work on the corpses and shared them evenly with two each.

While they did that he took out the lion’s demonic beat core and then stored the body and it’s demonic beast core in his spatial bag.

He stared at the wolves eating. If he didn’t know that the meat was instantly broken down for energy he would wonder how they ate so much.

When they were done he could tell all of them had grown stronger again.

These lions were pretty strong for wild beasts and there were a lot of them. They were great nutrients for the wolves. High quantity and high quality was great for wild beasts.

He didn’t pay much attention though since it didn’t matter if they became demonic beasts. He thought, 'I wouldn’t mind even taking their demonic beast cores after they break through.’
