"Boom" sound.

Soon after, the massive silver-clawed ape collapsed in the jungle, its back covered in lacerations.

His chest was pierced by a sharp sword.

"Little sister is really amazing, killing a late-stage Tier 1 Silver Claw Wolf so easily!"

"Even in a one-on-one fight, I might not be able to kill him so easily!"

He Zijian gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Brother, this is all because Haoyang Bird is incredibly powerful!"

He Lingyun, slightly out of breath, with bright eyes, said happily.

If it weren't for the Haoyang Bird's direct suppression, even if she attacked with her sword, she would have had little chance of posing a threat to this thick-skinned, powerful Silver Claw Ape.

However, this is the first time that such an effect has been achieved in actual combat with Haoyang Bird.

She was overjoyed, her face beaming with smiles.

He then took out the pill bottle, poured out a Qi-unifying pill, and swallowed it.

Zhou Ling's eyes lit up as he looked at the Silver Claw Ape's corpse, as if he were looking at a pile of glittering spirit stones.

Putting everything else aside, those two silver claws alone are top-quality materials for refining weapons, and they are quite expensive.

"It's a pity that this Silver Claw Ape's bloodline is not high, and its demon core has been absorbing the evil mist in the mountains for many years, containing evil energy."

"Giving it to the Haoyang Bird will not be very effective! It may even cause the Haoyang Bird's demon core to be tainted with evil energy, which will be detrimental to the formation of its demon core in the future."

Looking at the corpse of the silver-clawed ape, He Lingyun said with a hint of regret.

As a beast tamer, she naturally needs to be familiar with the methods of raising various spirit beasts and know how to train them so that the Haoyang Bird can grow to its fullest potential.

Just like when they used the elixir to capture the Haoyang Bird last time, she knew the Haoyang Bird's habits well; the Haoyang Bird preferred to feed on elixir.

Sometimes they also kill other monsters and devour their cores.

"Let's go. It's just a monster; dealing with it will only waste time!"

He Zijian waved his hand and said in an air of wealth and arrogance.

Clearly, they looked down on this late-stage Tier 1 Silver Claw Ape.

"Miss He, may I exchange this silver-clawed ape's corpse for a spiritual medicine?"

Seeing that the He siblings didn't want the corpse of the late-stage first-tier silver-clawed ape, Zhou Ling thought to himself, "What a spendthrift!"

You should know how much a price a rogue demon hunter would have to pay to hunt down this silver-clawed ape.
"Take it if you want it!"

He Lingyun said with a slight smile.

"Thank you then!"

Zhou Ling quickly thanked him.

He immediately walked over and put the silver-clawed ape's corpse into his storage bag.

Fortunately, his storage bag was a mid-grade first-level storage bag, which was enough to hold the silver-clawed ape, although it still took up most of the space.

Then, Zhou Ling also took out two spiritual herbs and tossed them to Haoyang Bird as a token gesture.

The Haoyang bird didn't stand on ceremony; it snatched the food into its mouth and swallowed it.

This situation startled He Lingyun for a moment.

Logically speaking, the Haoyang Bird had already been tamed and become his spirit pet.

Moreover, the Haoyang bird is extremely intelligent and will generally not eat other people's food without their permission.

How come it ate the elixir so casually when Zhou Ling tossed it to it?

Could Zhou Ling also possess a talent for beast taming?
What can make the Haoyang Bird feel friendly?

He Lingyun was puzzled.

Brush brush!
At this moment, several figures in the distance seemed to have been alerted by the fighting and quickly flew over.

Zhou Ling and the other two immediately became wary.

Within a few breaths, three burly men rapidly approached.

The three individuals possessed considerable strength, exuding a fierce aura; they were all late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Looking at Zhou Ling and his two companions and the Haoyang Bird circling in the air, a man with scars on his face in front of them had a greedy look in his eyes. "It's actually a late-stage first-tier Haoyang Bird!"

[There are three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators ahead. Crisis Response +1].

Zhou Ling was slightly startled. He had originally thought these three were demon hunters, but he hadn't expected them to be tribulation cultivators.

The appearance of the calamity cultivators in the wilderness clearly indicates that they are targeting demon hunters or medicine seekers.

It would be even easier to take action after the demon hunters encounter the demon beasts!
"It seems the three of them were drawn here by the fight earlier!"

Zhou Ling secretly held three fireballs in his hand.

With the He siblings by his side, he wasn't too afraid of these three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

After all, Haoyang Bird and He Zijian were more than capable of easily dealing with two Tribulation Cultivators, so he shouldn't have too much trouble handling one himself. The He siblings' attire clearly indicated they were from a prestigious family.

For these cultivators who spend their days licking blood from the edge of a knife, in this desolate wilderness, the identity of a noble family member is not something they fear; on the contrary, it is a fat sheep delivered to their doorstep.

"We are Xuan Ting Guards of the Xuan Ting Division, currently patrolling Black Cloud Mountain!"

Seemingly sensing the malice of these people, He Zijian frowned and revealed the jade token of the Xuan Ting Guard.

"So it was the Xuan Ting Guard on patrol!"

"We apologize for the inconvenience, we'll be leaving now!"

Upon hearing this, the leader immediately stopped in his tracks, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. His previously aggressive face instantly transformed into a warm smile as he bowed to He Zijian and said...

The two people behind them also paused, their lips twitching slightly, as if they were discussing something telepathically.

The three then quickly turned around and leaped away.

"Brother He, these people don't look like demon hunters!"

Zhou Ling whispered a reminder.

The "crisis response" message is still in effect, indicating that the three individuals have not truly left.

"Not a demon hunter?"

Upon hearing this, He Zijian was taken aback for a moment, but quickly dismissed it, laughing, "Don't bother with them. If they dare to mess with us, we can just give them a try!"

He had been in the Xuan Ting Division for almost a year and had seen all sorts of people.

He also killed several evil cultivators, treacherous cultivators, and demonic beasts.

"Brother, we can't be careless either. Judging from their appearance, they don't seem like good people!"

He Lingyun said cautiously.

He Zijian nodded. "Brother Ling, you continue leading the way. Let's be careful!"

“Mm!” Zhou Ling replied.

He was not far from Blood Raven Valley, but by sheer coincidence, he encountered these three Tribulation Cultivators, which made him feel a little worried.

"Brother He, I need to enter Blood Raven Valley to find a kind of spiritual medicine, but there are flocks of blood crows in Blood Raven Valley, which are not easy to deal with."

"Why don't you wait for me outside the valley?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ling spoke directly.

Using my [Crisis Response] and [Concealing Qi] talents to sneak into the valley, I shouldn't alert Blood Raven.

However, if the He siblings go together, the three of them and the Haoyang Bird will definitely alert the Blood Raven.

Although these blood crows are all first-tier demonic beasts, they fight in groups and are not easy to deal with.

Moreover, there are now lurking cultivators around.

If you engage in battle with the Blood Ravens and expend too much energy, it will be dangerous.

It's completely unnecessary to risk your life for the Blood Lotus.

"Oh, what kind of elixir are you looking for?"

He Zijian asked curiously.

"Blood Lotus!"

Zhou Ling didn't hide it from him.

"Blood Lotus, why didn't you say so sooner? I already have one at home!"

He Zijian said with a smile.

"this?"

Zhou Ling was taken aback; he really hadn't expected He Zijian to have a Blood Lotus.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "Brother He, would you sell me this Blood Lotus?"

Since He Zijian has the Blood Lotus, why would he need to venture into Blood Raven Valley?

They're so full they're just sitting around doing nothing.

It was only because we couldn't find the Blood Lotus that we had no other choice but to do this.

"can!"

He Zijian nodded, then paused and added, "This blood lotus is quite valuable. You can exchange it for other spiritual herbs or by making a few robes for my family."

“Okay!” Zhou Ling nodded.

"However, since we're already here, we still need to take a look around Blood Raven Valley!"

He Zijian waved his hand again.

Zhou Ling nodded. As long as they didn't enter the valley and provoke the Blood Ravens, there wouldn't be any danger.

The three then continued on their way.
