Chapter 455: Chapter 455: The Restricted Ferocious Beast

Shi Hao was also sizing up the valley in front of him.

It was not particularly large or tall, and the mountains themselves were quite ordinary, but the sky above was dotted with dark red clouds that cast a bloody hue over the valley.

Could it be that this very valley was home to the Spiritual Medicine that could foster the growth of the Tyrant Body?

"If the person behind the scenes truly wants to foster a genuine Tyrant Body, why not provide them with ample resources and let them develop at the fastest and best speed?" Shi Hao quietly asked Su Manman.

You really think I know everything!

Su Manman rolled her eyes, but before she could speak, Shi Hao began to muse once more.

"Maybe not necessarily so."

"This is just one village; who’s to say there aren’t a second or a third, cultivating the Tyrant Body in different ways."

"In some places, resources are there for the taking."

"Here, strength must be earned through effort, paid for with blood. This is akin to raising gu, where only the strongest can survive. Generation after generation, the bloodline shall become increasingly superior."

Alright, you’ve said it all.

Accepting that Shi Hao’s analysis was quite reasonable, Su Manman simply chose not to speak, although she did agree with him internally.

If the person orchestrating everything from behind really wished to cultivate a supreme Tyrant Body, they definitely wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket. Instead, they’d attempt as many methods as possible to increase the chances of success.

"Let’s go, we should enter as well."

The two of them walked into the valley where the sky was a complete blood-red, casting a sanguine cloak over the plants and rocks in the valley, giving them an indescribable ferocity.

Ahead, the young man named Amadeus had already vanished from sight.

—It was only after they entered that they realized the valley was actually quite spacious, with an open terrain and plenty of depth.

They kept moving forward, and, as expected, the valley was full of ferocious beasts, with the occasional spine-chilling roar indicating the presence of high-tier predators.

It wasn’t long before Shi Hao caught the scent of something fragrant.

He took out his Spirit Exploration Compass, which was aglow with numerous light spots, the nearest of which was almost directly on top of him.

It was inside a cave up ahead.

Shi Hao moved closer to inspect the cave with his domain, finding it to be only about seventy to eighty feet deep. Inside, there was a plant just over three feet tall, lush with leaves and bearing three vermillion fruits speckled with black dots resembling a scatter of stars.

Spirit Fruit!

Shi Hao’s eyes lit up, but acquiring the Spirit Fruit wasn’t going to be that simple.

There was a ferocious beast guarding the fruits, a red mountain cat emanating a vicious aura.

It seems to be from the Founding King Court.

What puzzled Shi Hao was, even if the creatures from the Founding King Court had not developed their own domain, how could they not sense a living being approaching within seventy to eighty feet?

Could it be contempt?

Shi Hao wondered to himself, filling him with doubt.

"Get ready to run," he turned his head and said to Su Manman.

"Sure thing," Su Manman raised her eyebrows, clearly taking an interest in the situation and treating it like a game.

With a thought from Shi Hao, whoosh, the Dark Thrust Sword activated, targeting the mountain cat inside the cave.

However, how formidable was the creature from the Founding King Court? Even though Shi Hao’s combat power was now at the peak of the Self-Observation level, his Dark Thrust Sword had barely reached the target when the mountain cat casually swiped its paw, scattering the attack.

Then, as if provoked, the mountain cat shot out of the cave in a flash.

"Run now!" Shi Hao quickly grabbed Su Manman and activated his Cloud Piercing Step to flee.

The mountain cat gave chase, but it halted abruptly after just thirty feet outside the cave area.

"Roar!" It bellowed at Shi Hao and Su Manman, its voice filled with rage.

Huh, it’s giving up just like that?

Some Ferocious Beasts hold grudges, persistent to the end, willing to chase their prey to the ends of the earth. However, others are lazy, abandoning the chase when they find it too hard to pursue.

But this mountain cat is truly too lazy, isn’t it?

Or is it!

Shi Hao stopped in his tracks, even took a few steps back, and then stopped ten meters in front of the mountain cat.

This was the limit of his domain, as well as the furthest his Dark Force could reach.

However, even standing so close, the mountain cat showed no intention of charging at him, only growling lowly in his direction.

As expected.

"They’ve been placed under some kind of constraint, only allowed to chase this far," Su Manman said from the side.

Shi Hao nodded, "No wonder, otherwise, those with Tyrant Bodies who come here to train wouldn’t leave alive, their kind would have been extinct long ago."

This kind of restraint on Ferocious Beasts was to protect those with Tyrant Bodies from being wiped out, otherwise, the purpose of strengthening bloodlines would fail, resulting in their complete eradication.

"It is evident that the person behind this has laid out a grand scheme, but why allow us to come in and train? Aren’t they afraid of exposure?" he asked, puzzled.

Su Manman snorted, "If this young lady weren’t here to explain so much to you, what would you have been able to figure out?"

Indeed.

Shi Hao nodded slowly, realizing that without Su Manman to provide him with all this information, he wouldn’t have known that these Tyrant Bodies were incomplete, let alone guess the purpose of the person behind the scenes.

"How do you know so much?" he couldn’t help asking.

Speaking of being knowledgeable, he had gained the memories of an Almighty who built the Sky Ladder. How could he be less informed than a young girl? No matter how impressive her background!

"Because this young lady is intelligent!" Su Manman replied with pride.

Heh.

Shi Hao decided to put aside that matter for now; the important thing was how to acquire the Spirit Fruit in the cave.

"Little Fire, it’s up to you now," Shi Hao decided to let the Cloud Flame Fire take over.

"Yi ya ya!" The Cloud Flame Fire showed excitement, finally getting a chance to take the field and relieve its master’s worries.

It transformed into a little person, patted its chest, a gesture full of bravado as though everything was under control.

Whoosh, and then it charged out.

"Wha—I!" Shi Hao grimaced.

His plan had been to distract the mountain cat here while Cloud Flame Fire sneaked into the cave, stole the Spirit Fruit, and ran away—since the mountain cat couldn’t chase far, it was supposed to be easy and pleasant.

—They were not like the Tyrant Bodies from the village, who had to defeat the guardian Ferocious Beast to harvest Spiritual Medicine.

But what on earth does it mean to charge directly at the mountain cat?

I asked you to steal, not to pick fights!

"Yi ya ya!" The Cloud Flame Fire suddenly burst into intense flames, transforming into a large Fireball, and hurled itself towards the mountain cat.

The mountain cat revealed a wary expression and dared not catch it head-on, jumping to the side instead.

Huh?

Shi Hao was surprised to find that the combat power of the Cloud Flame Fire had shot up from Self-Observation all the way to Founding King Court!

Since when did it become so powerful?

After thinking for a moment, he had an epiphany.

This must be because it devoured the Spiritual Fire of the Eight Tribes, causing a qualitative change in Cloud Flame Fire, allowing it to leap into the Founding King Court in one fell swoop.
