Hearing the occasional roars of beasts echoing from within the mountains, Su Yun took a step forward, preparing to enter.

However, at the next moment, two figures walked over from not far away and headed straight for him.

Su Yun raised an eyebrow. Could it be that he had been targeted as soon as he arrived, and someone was planning to kill him and steal his treasure?

The two men were of similar build and wore brocade robes, which were not the attire of the Tianyang Sect. Both of them exuded the aura of the seventh level of Body Refinement.

One of them cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, you must have come here to hunt beast cores, right?"

Su Yun countered with, "Is there something you need?"

The other person smiled and said, "We two would like to travel with you, fellow Daoist, to hunt down ferocious beasts together."

"This will make things much easier and more efficient."

"At that time, we can divide the beast essence we obtain equally."

Hearing this, Su Yun understood the two's intentions.

This kind of thing is very common. Many cultivators are afraid that if they act alone, they will not be able to defeat ferocious beasts of the same level, and may even be robbed.

Therefore, they would find partners to hunt together, which was not only more efficient but also safer.

However, Su Yun had no such idea.

So he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of being a burden to you two. You should find someone else."

After hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, then cupped their hands and said, "In that case, fellow Daoist, we shall take our leave."

They were all intelligent people, and of course they knew that Su Yun had simply declined their offer.

After watching the two leave, Su Yun withdrew his gaze and strode into the mountains.

Just a few hundred meters into the mountains, we noticed movement in the grass not far away.

A thought struck him, and he raised his palm, activating the power of his true meridians.

The spiritual energy in his palm burst forth, transforming into a divine ray that struck the trembling grass.

With a soft thud, the grass instantly returned to stillness.

Su Yun walked up and saw the corpse of a Tier 3 Three-Eared Rabbit in the grass. Its chest was pierced and it was still bleeding.

He took out a dagger, slashed open the three-eared rabbit's head, and extracted the beast essence.

"Even though it's only tier three, every little bit helps."

Su Yun put away the beast essence.

This time, he specifically hunted beast essences. Even low-level beast essences, if accumulated little by little, would be a considerable resource.

As he advanced, Su Yun killed every ferocious beast he encountered, regardless of their strength or cultivation level!

After venturing about ten kilometers deeper, Su Yun killed no fewer than a dozen ferocious beasts along the way.

Among them were several ferocious beasts of the fifth rank or higher.

However, Su Yun could not satisfy him.

The resources exchanged for these beast essences are very limited, so we must continue hunting, and try to hunt down those at higher levels.

Although we have already entered the Ten Thousand Mountains for ten kilometers, we are actually still on the outermost edge.

So, Su Yun slowly ventured deeper, wandering around the surrounding area.

He spent the entire day immersed in hunting beasts, his body stained with blood, and the path he walked was littered with the corpses of ferocious beasts.

into the night.

The mountains were pitch black, with only a faint moonlight filtering through.

Su Yun sat cross-legged under a large tree, regulating his breathing.

He had just fought a ninth-tier ferocious beast, expending a great deal of spiritual energy, but ultimately subdued it using his agility, obtaining a ninth-tier beast essence.

"Killing a ninth-tier ferocious beast is far more difficult than killing a ninth-level cultivator."

Su Yun took a deep breath.

Of course, if he were to encounter a ninth-level Body Refinement cultivator who had mastered a technique above the Earth Rank, he would be unable to kill him.

He sat under the big tree, recovering.

But in the next moment, in the darkness, a very faint sound of something cutting through the air reached Su Yun's ears, rapidly approaching him.

"Ok?"

His brows furrowed instantly.

A tremendous sense of danger washed over me.

At low altitude, a ferocious snake, about half a meter long and as black as night, was flying towards him with lightning speed!

It opened its mouth, revealing small but extremely sharp fangs, and lunged at Su Yun's carotid artery.

"A ninth-tier ferocious serpent!"

Su Yun's eyes narrowed, and he quickly took a step back.
