Chapter 148 The Abnormal Sweep of the Fishmen's Territory
After understanding Taotie's motives for seducing the fish-men, Ling Feng began to develop a strong interest in the other major demon beast overlords, since they were not described in detail in the original work.
Through his conversation with Taotie, Ling Feng gradually unveiled the mystery surrounding the other eight overlord monsters.
It turns out that the other eight great demon beast overlords are:
Qiongqi, Taowu, Longzhi, Gudiao, Tengshe, Suanni, Chihu, and Zhujian.
Each of them possesses astonishing innate divine abilities, as well as heaven-defying innate divine abilities comparable to those of the Taotie.
However, despite their great strength, they did not seem enthusiastic about rescuing the Beast God.
Perhaps because they have become accustomed to ruling the mountains for so many years, they have chosen to remain silent.
When the fishmen were searching for partners, they could only find Taotie, the only one willing to cooperate.
Now, these demon beast overlords have all reached the fourth or fifth level of the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm.
After learning about the specifics of the other eight demonic beast overlords, Ling Feng felt a strong urge to capture them all and use them for cultivation.
However, this dangerous thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he quickly suppressed it.
After all, with his current strength, he might be able to defeat one of them, but if he were to face an attack from all of them, he probably wouldn't be able to escape these 100,000 mountains.
Besides, there are many monsters in these Hundred Thousand Mountains, so why bother provoking a few of them who are difficult to deal with?
After dismissing the thought, Ling Feng suddenly noticed that the Taotie, which had been on the verge of death, was now able to move freely.
Looking at it, Ling Feng couldn't help but marvel at the monster's powerful regenerative abilities.
The injuries that were so severe just now seem to have almost completely healed.
In contrast, if he had suffered such a serious injury, it would have taken him at least ten days to half a month to fully recover.
After marveling at the Taotie's abnormal regenerative ability, Ling Feng immediately took it and began to sweep through its territory.
Now that the Taotie has become his mount, it will surely accompany him on his travels across the Divine Continent in the future.
Therefore, before leaving, Ling Feng felt it was necessary to properly organize its territory.
Of course, Ling Feng was also aware that his real purpose in doing this was to take the opportunity to make some more money.
After all, his current strength is not strong enough, and he needs to continue to improve himself.
So, without hesitation, he summoned Taotie and had it lead him to the territory of those monsters to cause trouble.
Overwhelmed by Ling Feng's tyranny, Taotie had no choice but to obey his orders, no matter how unwilling he was, and led him to the territories of those usually unruly monsters.
Along the way, Ling Feng followed behind Taotie, secretly pleased with himself.
With Taotie as their guide, Ling Feng's efficiency increased significantly.
These demonic beasts were carefully selected by Taotie, and their strength was basically around the first level of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness, which made Ling Feng very satisfied.
Moreover, Ling Feng doesn't need to exert himself to deal with these monsters.
As the overlord of the demon beasts, Taotie possesses immense strength and majesty, enabling it to easily control these demon beasts.
Ling Feng only needs to absorb their energy from the side.
As time went by, Ling Feng's cultivation level continued to improve.
With the help of Taotie, he successfully broke through to the second level of the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm in just half a month.
At this moment, Ling Feng's aura became even more powerful.
Moreover, because the Devouring Heaven Demon Art had no hidden dangers, Ling Feng's cultivation level improved extremely quickly, like riding a rocket.
After breaking through his cultivation level, Ling Feng felt an increase in his strength, but at the same time, he thought of the system mission from the Witch Clan.
Worried about potential unforeseen circumstances, he decided to resolve this issue before continuing his cultivation.
Ling Feng knew that the rewards for completing system tasks were crucial to him, as they could help him quickly improve his strength.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to take the tool beast Taotie to the Wu tribe.
The Wu tribe's territory is located deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, adjacent to the territory of the Taotie.
Riding the Taotie at great speed, Ling Feng soon arrived at the Wu Clan's encampment.
However, the arrival of the Taotie caused panic and chaos among the Wu tribe.
They were filled with unease, unsure why this powerful being had appeared here ahead of time.
Faced with the panic of the Wu tribe, Ling Feng spoke up in time, which gradually calmed them down.
After they calmed down from their panic, they were immediately filled with shock.
Especially Wu Ying, the patriarch of the Wu clan, was very aware of Taotie's power. He knew that even he, at the third level of the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm, had been severely injured, which showed just how powerful Taotie was.
But what he saw before him almost made his eyes pop out of their sockets.
That arrogant fellow who boasted so much in their tribe actually kept his promise, and even exceeded it, by taking the Taotie as his mount.
In his view, this was utterly outrageous, like his mother opening the door to something even more outrageous.
But then he realized that this was extremely advantageous for their witch clan!
Now that the Taotie was no longer a huge threat, the ultimatum from the fish-men seemed like a joke to him.
It should be noted that the strongest among the fish-men is only at the second level of the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm, but there are two experts in their race at the first level of the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm.
Although he himself was at the third level of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness, only the Great Elder in their clan had reached the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm, which is why their strength had been comparable to that of the Fishman Clan in recent years.
Overjoyed, Wu Ying quickly invited Ling Feng inside, after all, Ling Feng was now their greatest benefactor, and they could not afford to neglect him.
Ling Feng followed him into the Wu Clan's territory, and Taotie also shrunk to the size of an ordinary tiger, then followed beside him like an ordinary mount.
The Wu tribe members following behind them looked at the procession of one person and one beast ahead and still felt somewhat incredulous.
They live in these mountains, and the fearsome reputation of the Taotie is well-known.
Who would have thought that one day the infamous Taotie would be by someone's side, and even be as obedient as a pet.
Ignoring the complicated thoughts of the crowd, Wu Ying led Ling Feng and the others to the council hall of the Wu clan.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Ling Feng asked Wu Ying:
"Chieftain, has there been any news about the merfolk recently?"
Perhaps because she was happy, Wu Ying's previously worried expression vanished after hearing Ling Feng's question, and she laughed heartily:
"Haha, don't worry, young friend Ling, I've already sent my clansmen to gather information. I believe we'll have results soon!"
Hearing him say that, Ling Feng felt a surge of curiosity.
He frowned and fell into deep thought.
Logically speaking, after the fishmen colluded with the Taotie, they should have become arrogant and domineering!
But why has this fish-man race seemingly vanished in the past few months, as if they have evaporated from the face of the earth?
Not only did their Wu clan receive no news from the Fishmen, but even their important partner, Taotie, had no trace of the Fishmen.
This is truly perplexing, considering that the Taotie are now their strongest backing and reliance.
Surprisingly, they haven't tried to curry favor or flatter them recently, and haven't even had any basic contact with them.
Although Ling Feng knew in his heart that even if he went to curry favor, he might not gain anything substantial, this lack of action still made him suspicious.
