Feeling confused, Evelynn looked over to the sides and saw that none of the Magical Beasts that were watching them before were currently focusing their gaze on them. It was as if they became non-existent to them.She belatedly realized that the darkness had only engulfed and concealed Nadia along with her rather than harm her.Realizing that she had reacted rather exaggeratingly, Evelynn patted her breasts with her hand as she relaxed.Davis steadily flew towards the distance, ignoring any Magical Beasts that hid and looked at him with a hungry gaze, planning to ambush and swallow him in a single bite.However, they all scurried away when they began to feel his Martial Ascendance Stage undulations when he neared them.His lips curved as he turned to look back, "Nadia, how many humans have you killed before?"Nadia who was treading as if there was some kind of black substance supporting her flight in mid-air became a little taken aback. Her face scrunched up in hesitation."Don't worry, I'm not planning to kill you after hearing this or anything. I'm just purely curious as to how you view us humans." Davis stated with a languid smile on his face."... Above three thousand..."Davis's eyes slightly widened before he smiled, "Just you alone?""We did it as a pack but I claimed the kill by ending their lives. Here, I only got to kill a few hundred humans. As for the remaining thousands were all hunted by us as a pack during Magical Beast Tides.""Mhmm..." Davis's lips curled, "How do we taste?"On Nadia's back, Evelynn looked pretty upset on hearing how many humans that Nadia has devoured. Follow current on novelenglish.net
Davis noticed this but didn't say anything. Whether if it were humans or Magical Beasts, he needed Evelynn to arrive at her own conclusion for this matter."Do I really have to answer that?" Nadia narrowed her eyes.She couldn't tell if Davis was just curious or planned something in store for her."Of course, I'm just curious. You don't need to really answer...""A delicacy..." Nadia squealed and then spoke louder, "Especially human females..."Davis became taken aback before he laughed, "Don't eat my Evelynn... She is really tasty..."Evelynn's expression which had already turned aghast became tinged with embarrassment when she heard Davis say that as she knew what he meant."I-I would never! Please believe me!"Nadia yelled as if she felt aggrieved, at least, her tone sounded like that.Davis chuckled, "I was just joking. As I said before, I'll leave her safety to you. Do well to protect her.""Yes!~" Nadia complied in a bright tone.Chatting at certain intervals, Davis continued his search for High-Level Saint Beast Stage Magical Beasts and finally stumbled upon them after he left the valley and entered a hilltop that had a descending slope."This is the place... The airspace above is heavily restricted because it is the territory of a Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast."Davis smiled as he looked at the Magical Beasts soaking roaming over the basin, flat land that is surrounded by a ring of mountains. The basin has a little bit of fog that constricted a little bit of their view but not to a great degree. Follow current on novel-online.com
He and the other two stood on the mountain and overlooked the three-meter long Magical Beasts that looked like lizards with its four limbs and a snake-like body. However, they had three wings on their body and a single curved yet sharp horn decorating their head.A pair of one meter long wings and another small half a meter wing that was rather vertical and razor-sharp towards the front. Their scales were purple-white in color but they had different colored scales over their wings, indicating their stage."Three-Winged Venomous Lizards... Claims themselves to be the descendants of Poisonous Dragons. However, many mock they are just descendants of poisonous snakes..." Nadia explained, "After the valley, one needs to pass them to enter or take another path and enter the Sunset Tear Mountain's inner region. Of course, there are a few more territories after them, but I am not sure of their presence since Three-Winged Venomous Lizards never let us pass this place.""Mhm? Isn't the Three-Winged Venomous Lizards just an Earth Rank Magical Beast Species?" Davis became confused before he narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that the leader is...""Yes, a Three-Winged Venom-Lizard had recently achieved a species mutation but went into seclusion because of unknown reasons.""Seclusion? Do Magical Beasts Beasts even cultivate like us?" Evelynn suddenly interrupted."By seclusion, I think Nadia meant that the Magical Beast became injured or has other conditions such as on the verge of giving birth to infants..." Davis reminded Evelynn. Evelynn formed an "O" on her mouth and continued to listen.'No wonder Travis marked this as a King Grade Territory...' Davis nodded his head in realization.This was a King Grade Territory, albeit an extremely Low-Level one on the center area of the outer region, nothing more, nothing less."That means that the current leader is at Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage?"Nadia nodded her head but added, "Leaders... There are two leaders in this Three-Winged Venomous Lizard, a male, and a female. Their venom is extremely deadly and is even capable of affecting Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts to a certain extent. For this reason, they have managed to survive for more than ten thousand years in this territory without relocating, at least, according to our murals..."Davis nodded his head and narrowed his eyes.It is said that Saint Beast Stage Magical Beasts can live for around 25,000 years.

Magical Beasts need sustenance just like human cultivators, however, they can't live just by absorbing the heaven and earth energy which is passive and fixed to them.Their bodies automatically refine heaven and earth energy but it isn't nearly enough, so they hunt and ate whatever invoked their appetite but also to fill their hunger and grow as quickly as possible.As long as they don't starve and receive enough sustenance, Magical Beasts will keep growing till they achieve maturity, becoming an adult even if they have lived for less than one percent of their lifespan."Are we heading in another direction?" Nadia asked, thinking if Davis wanted to head to the inner region.Davis shook his head, "Didn't I mention before that I came to hunt?"A smile appeared on his lips, "And those two Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Magical Beasts of this clan are as good as dead..."Nadia suddenly felt a chill up her spine while also feeling thankful that she wasn't on his target list.But she was also confused.He had belittled her for her lower strength and told her that she was not a target but since she had become a Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Magical Beast, wouldn't she too automatically become a target for him?'Is it because I agreed to become their mount?' Nadia felt that it should be the case.Suddenly, a Three-Winged Venomous Lizard launched itself off the branch of a tree and flew in their direction with a whoosh. It glided through the air and spat liquid from its mouth.Davis clad himself in martial energy and waved his hand in its direction!A blade of wind created from pure pressure thwarted the viscous liquid and flew towards the Three-Winged Venomous Lizard in a blinding speed.The Three-Winged Venomous Lizard had its mouth severed till half of its body became open. Without much momentum, it fell two meters away from them, crashing on the ground as its body split into two and rolled into opposite sides.Davis pitied it as he shook his head. He had retracted his undulations earlier since he had arrived at a little dangerous territory, hence, he knew that he must've appeared an easier prey in that Three-Winged Venomous Lizard's eyes.
