Inside a forest, Joey was walking slowly while picking many medicinal herbs in his way. He had been inside this forest for a week. He met many lvl 2 beasts in her way. He avoided most of them but killed those who attacked him.
" Lvl 2 beast, I can kill them with just a punch." He said to himself.
After entering the forest a bit farther inside, he met two lvl 3 beasts. They were fighting over a tier 4 blood mushroom that was already mature for harvest near them. One was a brown fur bear and the other was a bloody eye white wolf. They were engaging.
" So, you two are fighting over that mushroom. Then, let me join the fun. I am itching to fight with lvl 3 beast. Let me see, how far you two can last? " Joey said. Then he jumped toward them.
The two beasts stopped and looked at him.
" Hey, you two come on me at once." He said.
Both of them were intelligent beasts. So, they understood that the human was provoking them. They cried and pounced at him.
" Good."
The bear punched at him. Joey too punched at its paw. Then, they separated, pushing both of them backward. At that time, the wolf opened its mouth and bit toward his neck. Joey moved a bit and punched it in the head. The wolf was sent flying with that punch.
" They even know how to sneak attack on me. So, they are really intelligent beasts. " Joey spoke calmly. Then he started using the tai-chi technique to fight them with just his physical strength.
After ten minutes, the two beasts were beaten to death with his palm strike.
" After not using essence qi for such two years, even my tai-chi technique improved to this level." Then, he took their beast cores from their heads and put them inside his space ring. He also collected the mushroom and put it inside his space ring.
" Master, these two beasts are just in the early stage of lvl 4. Your fighting power is nearly at the middle stage of lvl 4. " The little snake said telepathically.
Then he continued his journey toward the center of the forest where the territories of the 4 king-level beasts were located.
" Master, we are about to enter one of the territories of the four kings. The four beasts were the ' Three eyes hyena', the Condor king, the golden Chimpanzee, and the five colors-python. We were about to enter the territory of the ' Three eyes hyena'. He was the weakest among the four. But, they had a large population. They always fought in packs under the orders of their king. Their joint attack could fight evenly with 2 kings at once." The snake said in his mind.
Joey saw a vast savanna ahead in his direction.
" Savanna, the home of hyenas and lions," Joey murmured. Then he walked toward the savanna. He saw a pack of lvl 2 hyenas hunting a group of lvl 2 reindeers. Reindeers produced lightning skills from their horns and killed some of the hyenas. He looked at them silently. Then the pack of hyenas used a formation skill, their auras started fusing and their attacking power reached that of the lvl 3 beast.
" Hmm, that is their inborn skill. This skill increases the power of one main attacker to reach another realm. Interesting. " Joey thought.
After using that formation, they began to kill the reindeer one by one. Sometimes later, they killed all the herd of the reindeer. After that, they started collecting the cores of the reindeer and ate them. After that, they began to eat the flesh of those hyenas.
Joey ran silently. After an hour, he reached a place with many rock caves.
" Master, we reach the cave of the king. He is the one who suggested the five-color- python king about taking me as his mate. So, he is the main culprit. when he is alone, let's kill him." The snake beast came out and hissed at one of the caves.
" Alright, let's go." Joey agreed.
Then they covertly entered the cave of the hyena king.
Inside the cave currently, the hyena king was sleeping with closing all his three eyes. At that time the third eye in his forehead suddenly opened and observed around him.
A laughing voice filled the room and it pounced toward a corner. Joey dodged its attack.
" Oh, a human brat. Surrender and die peacefully. Otherwise, I shall eat your whole flesh while keeping you alive" The hyena's voice was heard in Joey's mind.
" Hahaha, surrender. Jiu tou, attack now." Joey chuckled and spoke to the little snake.
Seeing that the human brat had no aura of qi inside his body, the hyena king remained carelessly and looked at him like an ant. That time, a giant nine-headed came out. Then, the two eyes of one of the nine heads started producing a white glow activating a ' hurricane strike'.
This attack hit the hyena directly. His body was drawn inside the medium-sized space of the hurricane made by the skill. His body slowly disintegrated and finally, his whole being disintegrated. Then the nine-headed snake deactivated her eyes. Then a golden color core dropped on the ground.
Joey picked up the core and looked carefully. Then, he threw it toward the snake. She swallowed the golden core.
" Thank you, master."
" No need. You killed the hyena king yourself. So, it is yours. Okay, let's leave this place first."
Joey walked out from there.
" Jiu tou, where shall we go next?" Joey asked.
" Master, let's go to the five-color python's territory. I don't have any animosity with the other two kings." The snake's voice could be heard in his mind.
Then they started their journey toward the direction of the five-color python.
" Jiu tou, I have a question for you," Joey asked after some time.
" Please, master." She replied.
" Are you the only one of your species in this place?" Joey asked.
" As far as I remember, I haven't found anyone of my kind in this place. " She replied.
" What about your parent?" He asked again.
" I don't remember any of them. Since I became aware of myself, I always stayed alone my whole life until I met you, master."
