Shi Yi, who was suffering in the depths of the Great Wilderness, didn't know that his younger brother, Shi Hao, had already begun to enjoy familial bliss.
Although Shi Ziling left just a few days after returning, going with six Venerables to rescue his father, Shi Zhongtian, Shi Hao's mother, Qin Yining, chose not to go with them. Instead, she stayed in the Martial King Manor to take care of Shi Hao.
Therefore,
Shi Hao was very happy every day, often clinging to Qin Yining and asking her to tell him interesting stories about the Great Wilderness.
Every time he heard about the Ancient Descendants and Pure-Blooded Ferocious Beasts that roamed the Great Wilderness, Shi Hao couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
He wished he could grow up instantly and then compete with those prodigies, making a name for himself in the Great Wilderness.
Half a month later.
In the Great Wilderness, deep within the Vast Mountain Range, tens of thousands of miles away from Stone Village.
After wandering around for who knows how long, Shi Yi might have finally had a change of luck.
Just when he felt like he was going to be lost forever, he successfully found an extremely inconspicuous Vast Mountain Range in the vast Great Wilderness. Stone Village happened to be in this Vast Mountain Range.
The Great Wilderness spans hundreds of millions of miles. It is a paradise for Ancient Descendants and Pure-Blooded Ferocious Beasts. Prehistoric Ferocious Beasts and Desolate Variants are merely blood food, and the human race within can only struggle to survive.
That Shi Yi could find the inconspicuous Vast Mountain Range in the vast Great Wilderness spanning hundreds of millions of miles, one has to say, he still had hope and wasn't a complete road idiot who couldn't find his way.
"I'm no longer a naive youth, I'm so pathetic after you left!"
Shi Yi had a dogtail grass in his mouth, riding on the back of a silver demon wolf. While humming a song that others couldn't understand, he enjoyed the strong wind brushing against his cheeks.
This silver demon wolf was three meters tall and five meters long, with soft and smooth fur. It was a Desolate Variant with strength in the Celestial Passage Realm. Its running speed was twice as fast as the high-speed rail on the Azure Blue Planet.
As fast as the wind, as quick as lightning, traveling ten thousand miles a day.
It was subdued by Shi Yi half a month ago. After being beaten soundly, it reluctantly agreed to be Shi Yi's temporary mount, carrying Shi Yi across millions of miles of the Great Wilderness.
Just then,
The silver demon wolf, running at high speed, seemed to sense some terrifying danger. It braked abruptly, its slender limbs digging deep into the mud.
Under the effect of the huge inertia, Shi Yi was thrown forward, but he grabbed the back of the silver demon wolf's neck, and his flying body was ultimately not thrown off.
Almost instantly,
"Roar..."
An earth-shattering beast roar came, shaking the mountains and valleys continuously.
The towering ancient trees around Shi Yi shed their leaves rustlingly. The entire world suddenly turned cold, and a terrifying aura swept through like a flood.
In an instant,
The mountain forest went from noisy to silent. Fierce birds and ferocious beasts stopped their sounds instantly, trembling and shivering, no longer daring to roar. The silver demon wolf was so scared that it tucked its tail between its legs.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yi had nothing to say. If it weren't for this Desolate Variant, the silver demon wolf, being afraid of death, it wouldn't have been so simple for him to subdue it as a temporary mount.
"This is..."
The Double Pupil in Shi Yi's eyes lit up, and everything within a radius of ten thousand miles could not escape his gaze.
Under his gaze,
Not far away, a robust black figure appeared, like a peerless demon king descending, exuding monstrous ferocity. Its terrifying aura caused countless fierce birds and ferocious beasts in the mountains and valleys to fall into a deathly silence.
This was a ferocious ape with extremely thick fur. Its half-foot-long black hair was dazzling and covered its entire body, giving it an indescribably strange feeling.
Its size wasn't very large, only a little over two meters tall, not even as tall as the silver demon wolf. From its volume alone, there was nothing particularly special about it.
However, this ferocious ape had a pair of black fleshy wings on its back, allowing it to fly. Shi Yi's Double Pupil saw it clearly; this ferocious ape had just descended from an unknown height in the sky.
The ferocious ape also had a pair of thick, hideous black horns on its head, as if it had walked out of hell. Black mist swirled around them, and a tragic aura assailed him, as if it had slaughtered billions of living beings.
"Ancient Descendant Demon Ape?"
Shi Yi recalled the yellowed ancient texts he had read in the Martial King Manor, which specifically categorized Ancient Descendants and Pure-Blooded Ferocious Beasts. With the innate Saint-level intelligence and sensitivity of a Double Pupil user, he almost instantly confirmed the species of this ferocious ape based on its size, appearance, and other characteristics.
"Good heavens, it's not just an ordinary Demon Ape. It's a king-level Demon Ape with extremely noble bloodline, otherwise it wouldn't have grown demon wings that allow it to fly!"
Shi Yi's tone was somewhat surprised. He definitely couldn't defeat a Demon Ape of this level, because it was a Venerable Realm ferocious beast, on the same level as the white-haired Old Man [Suan Ni].
Just as Shi Yi thought.
The king-level Demon Ape was too powerful. As soon as it appeared, it intimidated all the beasts. With a sweep of its cold gaze, no beast dared to resist, and they all lowered their heads.
King-level was just a title, not a realm, just like how outstanding human prodigies are titled kings. The king-level Demon Ape was the king of the Demon Ape race.
Just as Shi Yi was deep in thought.
With a whoosh.
The king-level Demon Ape kicked off with its feet, the ground cracked, and it instantly leaped a thousand meters high, then plunged down at extreme speed, landing on the head of a somewhat strange-looking Desolate Variant.
This was a ten-meter-tall bear with the body of a bear and a pair of eagle wings, a rare Desolate Variant. This bear was much stronger than the silver demon wolf Shi Yi had subdued.
To put it bluntly, even though this bear looked ugly, tearing apart the silver demon wolf would be effortless for it.
But at this moment, it was trembling with fear, not daring to move, prostrate on the ground, scared by the king-level Demon Ape.
"Old thing, you're finally about to die. From now on, I will be king of this mountain range." The king-level Demon Ape slowly raised its head and grinned hideously, looking towards the depths of the Vast Mountain Range.
Immediately after.
The king-level Demon Ape unhurriedly extended a black claw and tapped the giant bear's head.
With a crack, the skull shattered.
The king-level Demon Ape easily lifted the millstone-sized skull, revealing the white, steaming tofu-like brain. A satisfied smile finally appeared on its hideous and terrifying face.
It casually scooped with its claw.
There was a smacking sound, as if no one else was around.
The ten-meter-tall giant bear let out a dying wail, but it didn't dare to move until its death. It wasn't that it didn't want to move, it was suppressed by the monstrous ferocity emanating from the king-level Demon Ape, unable to move at all.
"The strong prey on the weak, cruel and ruthless." Shi Yi sighed.
He gently stroked the trembling silver demon wolf, which was also unable to move. He had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this vast Great Wilderness.
The strong are respected.
The weak must die!
"Bah, the taste is really average. As expected, the human race tastes better."
The King-level Demon Ape only took a few bites before a look of disgust appeared on its face, as if it had eaten something repulsive. It threw away the remaining tofu pudding in its hand with great disdain.
The next moment.
The King-level Demon Ape suddenly exerted force with its feet, leaped up, and jumped towards the deeper parts of the Vast Mountain Range. It was clear that it really wanted to meet its old friend.
The King-level Demon Ape with demon wings wasn't unable to fly, but for this distance, flying was unnecessary. Jumping was faster than flapping its demon wings.
After the King-level Demon Ape left, the ten-meter-tall giant bear's pupils also lost their vitality, and it collapsed with a crash. Its corpse was instantly devoured by the surrounding ferocious beasts.
"Alright, it's gone. Don't be scared anymore."
Shi Yi patted the silver magic wolf's head, and the latter stood up trembling.
"Awoo!"
The silver magic wolf whimpered while hiding behind Shi Yi. Its three-meter-tall, five-meter-long body was now like a wronged little dog, afraid that Shi Yi would abandon it.
"I said, if you take me back to Stone Village, I will set you free. Now, you are free. Leave here quickly. I feel a great battle is about to happen here soon."
Shi Yi gently pushed away the silver magic wolf that was trying to lick him. He was indeed unfamiliar with other parts of the Great Wilderness, but the Vast Mountain Range was as familiar as could be.
Stone Village was located in this mountain range. During the three years he lived in Stone Village, Shi Yi often followed the Stone Village hunting team out to hunt for food, so it was impossible for him not to be familiar with this mountain range.
"Awoo!!!"
The silver magic wolf howled towards the sky. For a moment, it wanted to give up its freedom and follow Shi Yi from now on.
But in the end, it still left. After looking back at Shi Yi, it ran towards the distant unknown.
This was a two-way choice.
If the silver magic wolf wanted to stay, Shi Yi wouldn't drive it away, because he did need a mount. But its desire for freedom still outweighed its desire to stay.
"Alas, I really don't have leadership qualities. If that stinky little brother were here, maybe it would have followed him voluntarily."
Shi Yi shook his head helplessly. He asked himself, besides using a little violence when he first subdued it, he had been very good to it in the following days.
It was a pity it couldn't be tamed!
"Moo..." A low, heavy sound rang out.
Shi Yi located the sound and looked at the distant mountains. About two breaths later, a terrifyingly powerful firelight rushed over from the mountain forest in the distance.
This was a giant crimson bull, over ten meters tall and thirty meters long, with its four hooves treading on flames.
Its entire body was bathed in firelight, and its fur was like silk, incredibly smooth and shimmering with crimson light.
This giant flame bull wasn't coming towards Shi Yi.
Shi Yi was an extremely cautious person. He had long since sealed off all his aura, appearing as inconspicuous as a stone found anywhere on the roadside.
"First there's the Ancient Descendant Demon Ape, and now the Ancient Descendant Li Fire Bull Demon. Are these two Ancient Descendants both coming for that aging Suan Ni?" Shi Yi pondered.
It was still the same point.
Although Shi Yi was once a person from the Azure Blue Planet, he wasn't very clear about many things in this world. He only knew about a few key important figures.
For example, the Willow Deity, for example, Shi Hao. He remembered these main characters, but the details were indeed unclear.
Therefore, Shi Yi felt quite strange about the appearance of the Ancient Descendant Demon Ape and the Ancient Descendant Li Fire Bull Demon.
Living in Stone Village for these years, usually in this Vast Mountain Range, there wouldn't be more than two Ancient Descendants gathered together.
Thinking of this.
The Double Pupil in Shi Yi's eyes flickered, and the scene deep within the Vast Mountain Range instantly appeared beneath his pupils, as if it were a live broadcast.
At this moment, deep within the Vast Mountain Range, facing the suddenly intruding Li Fire Bull Demon, the King-level Demon Ape spread its wings and soared into the sky, hovering a thousand meters high to confront the Li Fire Bull Demon. Monstrous ferocity erupted between the two, like a hurricane, raging through the entire mountain forest.
"Aow..."
"Moo..."
With two loud roars, they immediately charged at each other and began a bloody battle. In an instant, the ground shook, ancient trees shattered, and huge rocks flew everywhere.
Not far from them, the Suan Ni, which was a hundred meters tall, lay on the ground with dull eyes, as if it had already died, without a trace of life.
But had it really died?
