Chapter 20: Innate Realm Ferocious Beast



Chapter 20: Innate Realm Ferocious Beast

As everyone’s hearts were in their throats, bracing for battle, the giant tiger that had been advancing suddenly halted its steps. It looked around with a wary expression.

Then, for some unknown reason, the tiger’s face turned to one of terror. It abandoned its search for the group’s trail and bolted away.

The tiger’s actions left Mason Chen and the others utterly baffled.

They couldn’t understand what had happened.

However, the tiger’s departure was a stroke of luck for them.

Just as the group was about to leave, an invisible and formidable presence suddenly enveloped them.

As warriors, they were extremely sensitive to Qi and Blood, and the owner of this presence had a Qi and Blood as brilliant as the scorching sun, clearly visible even in the night.

The group was shocked to their core, not daring to move rashly.

Soon, they saw the owner of this powerful Qi and Blood.

It was an inconspicuous green wolf, whose fur shimmered like satin under the moonlight.

Despite being half the size of the tiger they had just encountered, the sight of the green wolf struck a chord of panic in their hearts.

This was no Blood Condensation Realm beast.

It was of the Innate Realm!

In the Innate Realm, sinews and Qi and Blood are in perfect harmony, purifying the body, free of impurities.

And a beast that reached the Innate Realm likely possessed its own innate abilities!

Such beasts could only be countered by warriors of the same realm.

Realizing the vast disparity in strength between them and the enemy, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a move.

They would have dared to fight the giant tiger, but facing this Innate Realm green wolf, they stood no chance.

They didn’t even dare to look too long, for fear of being detected by the wolf.

Even Oliver Chen, the strongest among them, was now concealing his Qi and Blood, holding his breath.

Fortunately, the green wolf did not linger for long. It glanced at the spot where the tiger had been and immediately chased after the direction in which the tiger had fled without hesitation.

“Phew!”

After the green wolf was far away, everyone let out a sigh of relief in unison.

Only then did they realize that their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

Mason Chen and Elijah Chen exchanged glances, both seeing a trace of luck in each other’s eyes.

If they had been discovered by the green wolf, they had no idea how the clan would cope with the next step.

“Let’s go, we shouldn’t stay here any longer. Time to move on!”

Without further delay, the group quickly departed.

Although the encounter with the Innate Realm beast had shaken them deeply, considering the situation of the clan, they decided not to return home but to continue hunting.

The deeper parts of Disordered Burial Mountain were rife with beasts, and Innate Realm beasts were not something one stumbled upon casually.

During the rest of the hunt, the group specifically targeted beasts of lower realms.

Even the previously confident Oliver Chen kept silent, focusing solely on the hunt.

With three Blood Condensation Realm Warriors and other Body Tempering Realm clan members, the hunting was relatively easy.

Considering the clan’s scarcity of food, Mason Chen and another didn’t even spare the Body Tempering Realm beasts.

Although the Qi and Blood in the Body Tempering Realm beasts were far less than that of the Blood Condensation Realm beasts, if there were enough of them, they would suit the clan’s current situation.

Finding suitable Blood Condensation Realm beasts was not an easy task.

After taking down the last early-stage Blood Condensation Realm beast, the sky was no longer dark, and Mason Chen and another decided to stop hunting.

The group, laden with their spoils, made their way home.

Before entering the clan’s secret passage, they scattered Wood Lotus Powder around to mask their Qi and Blood and other scents.

After making sure everything was in order, they entered the secret passage, heading towards the clan.

In the Ancestral Hall, Ethan Chen paced back and forth, occasionally glancing at the sky.

It was getting late, and he wondered why the clan members who had gone out had not yet returned.

The clan’s situation hadn’t improved much, and he couldn’t help but worry.

However, considering that Oliver Chen, who was in the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, was with them tonight, he figured there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

There couldn’t be any Innate Realm beasts in Disordered Burial Mountain, could there?

“Ah!” Ethan sighed, praying to Noah Ji once more, hoping the clan would safely overcome this crisis.

Above, Noah Ji was in a good mood, as the vitality he had harvested tonight had doubled from the previous day.

With this, even if those who went out hunting were seriously injured, his loss wouldn’t be significant.

Soon, footsteps echoed in the secret passage.

Hearing the footsteps, Ethan’s heart eased.

It was good that they had returned.

Shortly after, the group emerged one by one from the secret passage.

When Ethan saw that everyone had returned unharmed and had even brought back four beasts, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he repeatedly praised:

“Good, good, good.”

“This hunt was successful thanks to Oliver.”

Mason Chen and Elijah Chen said with a smile at the side.

However, Oliver Chen showed no sign of pride, simply saying:

“Clan Chief, I’m heading back now.”

“Alright, go and rest.”

Above, seeing the group return safely, Noah Ji was somewhat surprised; it seemed he could save some vitality today.

When Noah Ji saw the beasts below, he began to calculate again.

This hunt had yielded two Blood Condensation Realm beasts, one in the mid-stage and one that had just entered the realm, as well as two Body Tempering Realm beasts.

Noah Ji easily sensed the difference in Qi and Blood among the beasts.

But now, he wasn’t picky; sacrificing any two beasts would do, and it would be even better if he could gather five points of Spiritual Power to perform another Deduction.

Soon, the other clan members left the Ancestral Hall, leaving only Mason Chen and Elijah Chen.

“What? There’s an Innate Realm beast in Disordered Burial Mountain?”

Hearing the two recount the events of the hunt, Ethan’s brow furrowed deeply.

As the Clan Chief, he had seen Innate Realm beasts before and knew their ferocity.

But he hadn’t expected one to be in Disordered Burial Mountain, and according to the two, the green wolf’s strength was not weak.

Below the Innate Realm, the larger the beast, the stronger it usually was, but above the Innate Realm, size was not the only determinant of strength.

Knowing that there was an Innate Realm beast deep in Disordered Burial Mountain, Ethan’s face showed a hint of hesitation.

He had planned to send a few people out hunting again tomorrow, but what if they encountered that green wolf again?

They were lucky this time, but luck wouldn’t always favor the Chen Clan!

Continuing to hunt outside would undoubtedly increase the risk.

But if they didn’t go out hunting, it seemed the clan’s situation wouldn’t improve either.

“Clan Chief, how should we distribute these beasts?”

Hearing Mason Chen’s question from the side, Ethan put aside his thoughts and turned his gaze to the beasts at his feet.

Today’s harvest was even richer than yesterday’s.

And these beasts could ensure the clan wouldn’t have to worry about food for three days.

But when Ethan turned to look at the thriving Sacred Tree, his face showed a trace of conflict again.
