A Mortal's Start in the Spirit Beast Mountain

Chapter 121 Wind Rift Beast

Good books are never stopped being updated, waiting for you to appreciate them.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Just when Luo Ming thought his luck was down again like last time, his expression suddenly changed.

He noticed that many wind pillars were moving rapidly toward him in the distance, each pillar being hundreds of feet wide.

These wind pillars, like tornadoes from a previous life, swept across everything around them, even some low-level demonic beasts that didn't have time to react were directly swept into the sky.

Although these tornadoes were powerful, they posed little threat to him at his current Core Formation stage.

What caught Luo Ming's attention was that within this raging and chaotic wind belt, a large number of dark shadows were flying and darting about! They were flying demonic beasts of various shapes and varying strengths.

Instead of avoiding the catastrophic wind belt, they moved nimbly through the swirling air currents like fish in water, occasionally darting towards certain "nodes" in the wind belt that shimmered with dazzling light.

Those are clusters of pure wind spiritual energy condensed under extreme conditions, which are rare tonics for wind-attribute demonic beasts.

The lowest rank of these demonic beasts is level three, with levels four and five being commonplace. In fact, when Luo Ming swept his divine sense across the deeper part of the wind belt, he vaguely sensed several powerful auras that made his heart tremble. These were at least level six demonic beasts, and possibly even higher!

They fought fiercely for the pure wind spirit condensate and the sea monsters swept high into the sky. Claws tore at each other, wind blades clashed, and demonic roars echoed. Feathers and scales mixed with the stench of blood were swept everywhere by the gale, turning the already chaotic wind belt into a huge and cruel hunting ground.

"The winds of the outer sea... such a sight?" The Golden Gu Elder had already opened his eyes, his face grave as he stared outside. "It's practically a feast for high-level wind-attribute demonic beasts!"

Luo Ming remained silent, his gaze fixed on a certain direction in the core area of ​​the wind belt, where three particularly conspicuous figures stood.

They resemble giant eagles, but their wingspan is over twenty zhang (approximately 33 meters). The wing membranes are a translucent grayish-white color, with naturally formed complex and mysterious silver patterns. As the wings flap, these patterns shimmer and attract the surrounding violent wind spirits, forming a visible airflow.

Their claws were like hooks, gleaming with a cold light. Their beaks were curved and sharp, their eyes were sharp and cold, and their bodies exuded a terrifying pressure belonging to a level six demon beast. They were none other than the rare demon beast recorded in the ancient books - the Rift Wind Beast!

"The Riftwind Beast... its demon core, essence blood, and feathers are all top-quality materials for refining wind-attribute magic weapons or cultivating related supernatural abilities."

A fiery glint flashed in Luo Ming's eyes. If he could hunt one, whether for his own use or to sell, its value would far exceed that of an ordinary level six demon beast.

If the Wind Fox Beast obtains the Wind Rift Beast's demon core, its advancement to level five will likely be imminent. Although the Fat Sun Bird is primarily associated with fire, wind can amplify its flames, and the materials from the Wind Rift Beast will also benefit it.

What excites him even more is that the Rending Wind Beast is born with the power of wind, and its original essence blood may help the Wind Fox Beast comprehend deeper levels of wind escape techniques, or even other wind-based secret techniques.

He had just mastered the water escape technique brought by the Azure Dragon and knew the practicality and power of this innate escape technique.

At this moment, the three Wind Rift Beasts were fighting around a fist-sized ball of cyan light that seemed to contain a swirling silver storm.

The wind elemental energy emanating from the ball of light was incredibly pure, attracting a large number of other flying demonic beasts around it to act. However, intimidated by the ferocity of the Rift Wind Beast, they only dared to patrol the perimeter. Occasionally, some level-five demonic beasts that were unaware of their own mortality would try to approach, but they were immediately driven away by the Rift Wind Beast.

"The essence of wind spirits?"

Luo Ming muttered to himself, a look of shock on his face. He had already hidden in the seawater by relying on the concealment of the Xuan Turtle, but his divine sense was constantly monitoring the situation above.

The essence of wind spirit is an extremely rare wind-attribute spiritual object. Whether it is refined by wind-attribute cultivators or used to craft any kind of magic weapon, it is an invaluable item. Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators would not hesitate to compete for it if they encountered it.

"So that's why so many high-level demonic beasts have gathered here. They're fighting over that wisp of wind spirit essence."

Although Luo Ming also wanted the Wind Spirit Essence, he did not lose his mind. He still had a clear understanding of his own strength. Just that one level six Rift Wind Beast was not easy to deal with, let alone three. Moreover, there were many level five demonic beasts around, all of which were extremely fast wind-attribute demonic beasts.

The feeling of watching his treasure being stolen while he was powerless to stop it left Luo Ming feeling quite helpless.

"Alas! If I were a Nascent Soul cultivator, no, even just a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, I would be almost fearless against these demonic beasts. In the end, it's just that my strength is insufficient, which is why I have no chance with rare and precious treasures."

Just as Luo Ming was lamenting his own weakness, he suddenly sensed a hint of tension emanating from the Xuan Turtle. This was the first time the Xuan Turtle had shown such emotion since advancing to the fifth level; it had never experienced this even when facing the power of the dragon's bloodline.

"What's going on? Has a powerful demon in human form arrived?"

Just as Luo Ming was speculating, a massive figure emerged from the depths of the sea at an incredible speed, breaking through the surface and soaring into the sky, its target none other than the three Wind Rift Beasts.

It was a gigantic whale-like monster, its body reaching three hundred feet in length, with its head alone measuring one hundred feet.

The opponent opened its mouth wide, and a terrifying suction force was released. One of the Wind Rift Beasts had no time to react and was swallowed whole.

A powerful level six demon beast was like an ordinary bird in front of him. Although it was partly due to a sneak attack, its death still shocked Luo Ming. He quickly suppressed his aura, fearing that it would be targeted.

In fact, he didn't need to suppress his aura. The Xuan Turtle had already pushed the Turtle Breathing Technique to its limit. For such a giant of the sea, the natural enemy of turtle-type monsters, the Xuan Turtle had a natural way of dealing with it.

That means hiding it more discreetly.

"This size... could it be that mutated whale-kun?"

Luo Ming remembered getting information about this beast from Jin Qing. Don't underestimate it just because it's only at the seventh level. In the outer sea, even Nascent Soul cultivators would have a hard time capturing it. Moreover, it possesses spatial and devouring abilities, and its demon core is incredibly valuable.

Upon seeing this mutated whale-kun, Luo Ming wondered whether the Nascent Soul stage cultivator from Qiyuan Island had failed to capture it, or whether this demon was another whale-kun.

But in either case, it's not something he can covet right now; it's best to hide it well and not let it be discovered.

Unlike other whale-like monsters that generally prey on sea creatures, this whale-kun has another hobby: it likes to devour wind-attribute monsters, especially avian monsters. This habit reminded Luo Ming of the Kunpeng from his previous life.

Just as Luo Ming was lost in thought, the situation on the other side began to become chaotic. Due to the addition of the mutated whale-kun, one of the Riftwind Beasts was missing, and the other two Riftwind Beasts seemed to be terrified and dared not linger at low altitudes.

After devouring a Gale Beast, the whale-kun remained circling below the surface, seeking an opportunity to devour other demonic beasts, which resulted in no demonic birds vying for the Wind Spirit Essence.

The essence of the wind spirit is not an inanimate object, but a sentient being. Coupled with its elusive nature, it is very difficult for ordinary demonic birds to capture.

"There's a chance!"

Seeing this, Luo Ming's eyes lit up. He remembered that he had the Wind-Escape Shuttle and could try it out for a while.
