The forest canopy grew darker as Lauren and Ashen moved deeper into the Verdant Deathwood. The air buzzed faintly with the vibrations of insects, and a faint red mist hung in the distance. Their target: the Blood Queen Bee, a Core rank Beast equivalent to a human cultivator, Foundation Realm, was known for its powerful pheromones and corrosive venom.
Ashen convinces Lauren to hunt the Blood Bees' hive so they can collect blood honey, which is beneficial to the warrior rank cultivator and helps them to break through the Foundation realm.
Lauren, who was a rank 3 warrior and one step away from the foundation realm, agreed to Ashen's suggestions. But he was worried that they might encounter strong beasts like Core beasts or Earthcore beasts.
Beasts were classified just like human cultivators:
Feral beasts /(Warrior Rank) – Basic wild beasts have greater physical power than a warrior rank cultivator.
