C48 Hundred Thousand Mountains

The sun was high in the sky and the birds were chirping.

This was the deepest part of the Southern Wilderness, the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range!

"Roar ~"

An angry roar sounded, and immediately after, a young man was running in the front of the forest. Behind him was a huge beast that was five meters tall and three meters tall, the Desolate Lion!

With one look, the Desolate Lion was already in its mature stage, and its strength was comparable to a human Rank two initial stage Gu Master.

However, the youth in front of him seemed to be fearless. Although he was running in front of him, he would occasionally smash apart the huge trees he passed by and smash them towards the desolate lions behind him.

The Desolate Lion couldn't stand the insults and provocations of this ant any longer. It stood up in anger and jumped dozens of meters away with its two large hind legs exerting their strength.

When it reappeared, the Desolate Lion was already in front of the fleeing youth and viciously swiped at him with its claws.

"Good timing!"

The youth let out a low shout. He was not surprised, but instead happy. He turned his hand and struck out with a palm.

"Great Desolation Palm!"

Right in front of the young man's palm, a huge palm print that was around ten feet in length suddenly appeared out of nowhere, suddenly appearing and clashing with the furry beast claw.

The Desolate Lion's scarlet eyes were originally filled with human-like ridicule, but after a short moment of contact, the Desolate Lion suddenly let out a miserable cry. The beast claw that was smacked out splattered out with countless amounts of blood.

In the blink of an eye, the giant claw of the Desolate Lion was broken by the young man with a single palm.

"Roar!"

The Desolate Lion didn't dare to continue the fight after suffering such a great amount of pain. It turned around and tried to flee.

But at this moment, its beast claw was broken by the youth. Not only did it have to run to the left and right, it also had to suffer an inhuman pain. It fell down right after running for a dozen meters.

"Want to run?" It's not that easy! "

At this moment, the youth had no intention of sparing the beast. He rushed forward, suddenly appearing above the head of the Desolate Lion and viciously threw another punch.

"Thunder Fist!"

After the punch landed, it landed directly on the head of the wild lion. The beast only had time to let out a miserable cry before blood came out of its mouth and nose. Its four limbs twitched and it died a moment later.

At this time, the youth landed on the ground, took out a dagger from his chest, and split open the head of the wild lion. After a series of knocks, he finally took out an egg-sized earthen yellow bead.

"Ai, I wonder how many spirit stones can be exchanged for such a Demonic Core?"

This young man was Gu Tianchen, who had infiltrated the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range Trial two days ago after everything had been prepared.

Because Zhou Tianyuan had interfered with the clan's competition, even if he obtained the number one spot in the Clan Competition, he would still not be able to obtain any cultivation resources.

Because of his rejection that day, and also because of the appearance of the Grand Elder afterwards, Ye Qingfan had not brought even a single member of the clan with him before he left.

In other words, not a single disciple had entered the Jia Nan Academy to study in the Clan Competition this time around.

This included the arrogant Zhou Mingyue, as well as Zhou Tian who had gone into closed door cultivation after the war.

Maybe it was because of this that Patriarch Zhou Tiannan was slightly dissatisfied with Gu Tianchen.

After all, if any of the clan disciples were to be selected by Ye Qingfan and enter the Jia Nan Academy, not only would the academy give them a portion of spirit stones as a supplement for the clan, it would also give them some expensive medicinal pellets.

Now that he had not obtained any of them, it was no wonder that Zhou Tiannan felt a little displeased with Gu Tianchen.

This also led to not standing out to stop Zhou Tianyuan even though he knew that Zhou Tianyuan was secretly manipulating things and was instructing him to deduct the cultivation resources and Gu Bao that should have been given to him.

In his heart, he thought that he should naturally deal with Zhou Tianyuan who had shown his ambition, but Gu Tianchen who was messing up the situation also needed a punishment.

Therefore, in order to increase his own strength as soon as possible, Gu Tianchen had no other choice but to go to these Hundred Thousand Mountains to hunt demon beasts.

Although he knew that this trip must be fraught with danger and that Zhou Tianyuan might take the chance to make his move, he had no other choice.

After all, in a situation where the tribe's resources would not lean towards him, if Gu Tianchen still wanted to increase his own cultivation, he could only rely on his own hard work to think of a way to earn spirit stones.

Coincidentally, Gu Tianchen knew a place where someone was willing to pay a huge price to buy Demonic Beast Cores.

that's the Qintian Ji!

Therefore, after some thought, Gu Tianchen entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains and began hunting demon beasts.

This way, he could also increase his combat ability.

After obtaining the Desolate Lion's spirit beast core, Gu Tianchen did not stay for long. In order to avoid the powerful beasts that had rushed over after hearing the news and to find the next unlucky target, Gu Tianchen's feet moved very quickly, and in a short while, he arrived at a location a few hundred meters away.

A unicorn that was drinking water in front of him attracted Gu Tianchen's attention.

< Southern Wilderness Chronicle > recorded unicorns, rhinoceroses with deer bodies, oxen's hooves and tigers tails. When one was young, they had the strength equivalent to an early Rank one Gu Master, and when they reached adulthood, they could fight against Rank three Gu Master warriors. A single horn was comparable to a Gu Bao, if it were to attack with its full strength, it could destroy a two meter thick wall!

However, because of its gentle nature and the fact that it was a herbivore, it rarely took the initiative to fight other dire beasts.

The one in front of Gu Tianchen looked to be about two meters long and less than one meter tall. It should belong to the category of a semi-mature unicorn, and its strength was around the level of a Rank one to two initial stage human Gu Master. It was just enough for Gu Tianchen to fight it head-on.

"Great Desolation Palm!"

After a low roar, Gu Tianchen's body suddenly jumped down from a large tree.

Even though the unicorn was shocked, it was not flustered. Facing Gu Tianchen's palm, knowing that there was nowhere to run, it suddenly lowered its head and welcomed him with its sharp horn.

If Gu Tianchen were to continue with this strike, even if the unicorn died, his own palm would still be pierced by the other party's horn, which was comparable to a Gu Bao.

Gu Tianchen did not want to end up with both sides suffering.

He was here to hunt demon beasts and did not intend to let them hurt him.

Thus, in that split-second, Gu Tianchen's palm suddenly changed from slapping to pushing, and just as the two came into contact, his palm had coincidentally pushed onto the other party's horn.

Although Gu Tianchen did not use his full strength in this strike, it was at least two thousand kilograms of strength. This unicorn was only half an adult, its entire body was not even one hundred fifty kilograms, and from this push, it was uncontrollably sent flying.

Seeing that, Gu Tianchen followed closely behind, and with a backhand punch.

"Thunder Fist!"

This punch struck right at the unicorn's left abdomen, which was incapable of resisting. Even the stomach of this beast had collapsed from Gu Tianchen's punch, it was unknown just how many of its bones had been broken.

When the unicorn fell to the ground, its body twitched twice, and blood seeped out of its mouth and nose. Its eyes were filled with bone-deep hatred as it glared at Gu Tianchen, and lost its life in the blink of an eye.
