Good heavens!

What do you call a natural sense of closeness!

Could it be that I, Old Wang, can really become a Bear Immortal as I wish?

It's so useless.

Really, useless!

He could only inject a small amount of venom each time he clawed at the opponent. Isn't it better to just unleash the Demon Vine?

So Wang Wu just brushed it off and didn't take it seriously.

At this moment, Yuan Bupu, Wolf Bu'er, Niu Xiaocao, Old Niu, and Pig Iron Beak had already gathered around.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Younger Brother Xiong is truly a genius, managing to allow the Companion Demon Vine to advance again in such a short time."

Yuan Bupu laughed heartily, his usually sleepy and scruffy face unusually vibrant.

"Oh, not at all. I'm just worried for causing such a commotion, will it expose us? Or bring punishment from the Mad Tiger King?"

Wang Wu asked, a bit worried.

"Not at all. This is the Forbidden Land that the Mad Tiger King specifically prepared for us. Speaking of which, does Younger Brother Xiong still need to recuperate for a while?"

"Thank you, Brother Yuan, for your concern. I think I'm fine. Earlier, you mentioned that we have something to deal with. Can we discuss it now?" Wang Wu asked curiously, eager for battle, ready to test the power of the Companion Demon Vine.

"No rush, everyone, follow me."

Yuan Bupu kept it a secret, but it was likely due to his strong sense of confidentiality.

This guy is really something. Wang Wu even felt a bit of camaraderie with him.

At this time, Yuan Bupu's body flexed and shrank a couple of times, becoming about half its size, but actually growing to over twenty or thirty meters tall, extremely magnificent and imposing.

And he reached out a huge claw towards Wang Wu and the other demons.

Wolf Bu'er, Niu Xiaocao, Old Niu, and Little Wild Boar naturally ran up, and Wang Wu, a bit stunned, also jumped on. What's the idea, think we walk too slowly?

But Wolf Bu'er is a Sixth Grade Wolf Demon, speed should be its forte, so why did it also jump up?

At this moment, as Yuan Bupu withdrew his huge claw, Wang Wu and the other four demons landed respectively on Yuan Bupu's shoulder.

Immediately after, Yuan Bupu's body expanded like an inflating balloon, rumbling, in the blink of an eye growing over a hundred meters tall. They felt like they were on a vast ship, so spacious.

Then Yuan Bupu started to accelerate. Though not very fast, due to his height, he covered a great distance in just a few steps, crossing the river in a few moves, reaching the high mountain on the opposite side.

The mountains here were extremely steep, mostly consisting of cliffs several hundred meters high.

If Wang Wu and the others were to climb here, it would take a bit of effort, not worth such a grand gesture.

While Wang Wu was puzzled, he saw Yuan Bupu rapidly climb a steep cliff over four hundred meters high, then suddenly turn, leaping into the air, reaching over five hundred meters in height.

Just when Wang Wu thought he would quickly fall into the river, Yuan Bupu's giant hand suddenly grabbed at the air, somehow pulling out a huge chain as thick as two people!

Good heavens, so there was such a mechanism!

At that moment, Wang Wu even sensed that the originally solid mountains and waters below became surreal, like looking through an 8K screen, rippling, and as Yuan Bupu continued to climb up, this sense of unreality became stronger.

After climbing several hundred meters in one breath, looking down, there was only dense fog left, where was the river, the high mountain, the forest, the valley?

It was as if everything seemed like a dream.

At this moment, the top was still shrouded in mist, as were the surroundings, only that chain remained extremely real.

Climbing upward for an unknown distance, Wang Wu felt it must have been twenty to thirty thousand meters high. Could the end of this chain be the Heavenly Dao Mountain where the Mad Tiger King resides?

Just as he was pondering, ahead, the clouds suddenly cleared, revealing a vast stretch of golden light. Yuan Bupu leapt and stood steadily on an ordinary mountain peak, where the mountain wind was strong, cutting like small knives.

Strangely, Xiong Shiliu had been waiting here for a long time, but there were no other demons.

At this moment, it still remained silent, just made a gesture, and then descended the mountain path from the other side.

Yuan Bupu immediately transformed back to 0.5 its original size, from the hundred-meter-tall giant to the scruffy monkey who always seemed half-asleep.

"Everyone, stop talking, keep silent, follow along. Niu Huanxi, bring your Little Wild Boar. Xiong Wu, you cover the rear."

As they spoke, Wolf Bu'er had already overtaken Xiong Shiliu ahead, moving forward to scout the path, while Yuan Bupu took a few steps and also passed Xiong Shiliu, walking in second place.

Niu Xiaocao gave Old Niu a warning glance, walking in fourth place, with the Little Wild Boar climbing onto Old Niu's back, both on high alert.

Only Wang Wu, bringing up the rear, was puzzled, though the coordination needed was seamless.

This Monster Squad flew down the mountain path swiftly, Wang Wu occasionally looking back, only to see the mountaintop obscured once more by dense clouds, unable to see anything.

Passing through several cable routes, there was no longer even a path up the mountain.

How strange.

Thus they wandered, descending this mountain, across valleys, up and down again, not even a living creature appeared along the way, let alone other demons.

Only when passing through a tranquil forest did they finally come upon a clearing, but it was equally desolate, endless dust drifting on the distant horizon, as if suddenly pulling up a sky-blocking curtain!

What's going on!

How did they end up here?

Wang Wu quickly turned around, marveling at a colossal cliff, towering high with unknown width, stretching endlessly, with no sign of forests or valleys?

As if everything before had been an illusion.

Like they stood now in a dreamscape.

"Alright, now we can discuss things carefully."

Yuan Bupu said in a deep voice, "What we just passed was the Mountain Protection Array set up by the Mad Tiger King, designed to block the invasion of dust and the Human Race's army."

"But none of that relates to our mission."

"Recently, a brother accompanying Shiliu went missing, his life or death unknown, and after eliminating all possibilities, we're almost certain he's defected."

"What?"

This time, not only Wang Wu but also Niu Xiaocao, Old Niu, and the Little Wild Boar were stunned; none of them knew about this.

Xiong Shiliu's brother must also be a well-nurtured seed from the pure Ancient Blood Demon Race, if he defected, wouldn't that leave the Demon Race with no hope?

Wang Wu immediately asked, "Can we be sure about this? Is it murder, or some other possibility?"

"We're sure because he was also a Sixth Grade Bear Demon; the one who could kill him quietly could certainly kill us quietly too. But why are we safe, or even if there was a battle, we surely wouldn't escape notice from Bu'er and me? Only if he left voluntarily does it fit the facts."

"But what could he want?" Wang Wu was curious, he knew Human Race had traitors, but never thought Demon Race would too.

Yuan Bupu shook his head, "It's not clear yet, but things have indeed become urgent, so after deliberation, we've decided no matter what, we must find him, clarify the reasons, or discover the truth in order to fix this loophole; after all, Shiliu's importance is undeniable, if exposed, our West Wilderness Demon Race will not see light for a millennia."

"Then why not seek help from the Mad Tiger King?"

"We can't, in theory, the Mad Tiger King is supposed to act as if he doesn't know of our presence. It's a secret agreement between the Mad Tiger King and the Great Ape King; the Forbidden Land we left was specially set for us, controlled entirely by us, avoiding interaction with the Mad Tiger King's demon subordinates for complete assurance."

"Given such an important Forbidden Land, why was it so easy for the four of us to enter?" Wang Wu asked further, needing clarification. Being part of a team requires transparency without any hidden agendas.

Yuan Bupu calmly explained, "After Xiong Shier's disappearance, we were quite passive and needed to recruit a suitable, unblemished ancient blood demon to join us. Among the fugitives in the group, Niu Huanxi was the most fitting because its Companion Spirit Vine is very beneficial."

"But we couldn't forcibly trick or abduct it; the initial hope was to have its sister persuade it. Niu Xiaocao, though lacking growth potential, is indeed trustworthy."

"Unexpectedly, Niu Huanxi insisted on bringing you and the pig, unwilling to join otherwise. Even though Shiliu used the Mind Bewitching Secret Technique saying Bu'er is his betrothed, it was no go; its lustful nature seems fake."

"With no alternatives, we decided to also bring you all into the Forbidden Land, but the stipulation was that Niu Huanxi would go with us, and you would remain in the Forbidden Land for eternity."

"Events unfolded as you know; discovering your capabilities, and even the pig showed potential, led us to form one team, sharing future destinies."

"Further, we refrained from explaining within the Forbidden Land because Shiliu suspects that Xiong Shier might be concealed there too, being equally Sixth Grade, skilled, and knowledgeable about us, making it impossible for us to find him if he truly hides."

After hearing Yuan Bupu's explanation, Wang Wu understood the intricacies involved and couldn't help praising Old Niu; true camaraderie bypasses allure without hesitation!

However, he still found it difficult to grasp, a status nearly rivaling Shiliu, comparable to Yuan Bupu, a promising Sixth Grade Bear Demon, willingly joining the Human Race as a Spirit Beast?

He didn't ask further, for surely Xiong Shiliu, Yuan Bupu, and Wolf Bu'er were more eager than him to know the answer why.
