After a long chase, Jiang Che and Nangong Luo had already arrived at the border between Su Province and Sichuan Province, about to enter Sichuan Province.
In a forest, they stopped to take a short break.
At this moment, Jiang Che and Little Purple, one large and one small, were in unison, stretching their necks, drinking the creek water.
Jiang Che gently patted Little Purple's butt with his tiger paw.
Plop!
Little Purple fell headfirst into the water.
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Che
"Chirp!"
Standing in the shallow stream, Little Purple jumped up and down, angrily protesting at its master.
The only response was Jiang Che's carefree laughter.
While these two were playing around, Nangong Luo lay under the shade of a tree, checking her communicator.
On the light screen, a video showed the Golden Eagle King leading the Golden Eagle Race, crazily slaughtering human villages.
"This stupid eagle really is reckless! Alas, doesn't it know it's almost courting death with such actions? Humans definitely won't let it go..."
Nangong Luo shook her head, thinking that this Golden Eagle King probably wouldn't live for long.
It's known that fierce beasts evolved, having unlocked the Spiritual Wisdom Lock, and even first-rank fierce beasts are much smarter than simple wild animals.
Moreover, the higher they evolve, the smarter they become. A second-rank fierce beast's intelligence is not far off from an eight or nine-year-old human child.
It already knows how to think and weigh pros and cons.
This Golden Eagle King's massacre of humans, unless its brain is broken and it really is stupid, or its wild nature is uncontrollable, used to having its own way.
It should be known that against second-rank fierce beasts, human guns and artillery are still effective.
If not for the Golden Eagle King's flying advantage, which grants a disadvantageous environment for human firearms, the Golden Eagle Race would probably have been wiped out by humans long ago.
Now, this beast's reckless actions have carved a path to its own demise.
If humanity were truly pushed to the edge and decided to use nuclear weapons, it would probably realize its mistake then.
However, by that time, it would already be too late.
After all, not every beast can be an ancient fierce beast capable of withstanding a nuclear strike.
With one nuclear strike, with the Golden Eagle King's small build, it'd be likely vaporized instantly.
However, humans wanting to deal with the Golden Eagle King might not necessarily resort to nuclear weapons. Nangong Luo suddenly thought of the previous human Top Ten War Generals list.
Although this list seemed a bit amusing and weak to her, it cannot be denied that these individuals are genuine second-rank extraordinary beings.
Considering the online uproar about the Golden Eagle King's village massacres and public demand, there's a high possibility that humans would dispatch these war generals to deal with the Golden Eagle King.
The Golden Eagle King might not be weak and has the flying advantage, but facing a coordinated siege by multiple second-rank extraordinary beings, its end probably won't be good.
"In the previous life, this stupid eagle got its hands on the Ancient Spirit Soldiers, I wonder if it'll survive this time. If it dies..."
Her eyes shifted, growing brighter and brighter.
While Nangong Luo was checking her communicator, another connected fierce beast was involved in a similar pursuit.
...
Wulong Mountain.
Fang Yuan was also watching the communicator, as his subordinate Wang He explained leisurely beside him.
The Soul-controlling Gu's function is to control the soul of a being, turning it into a puppet for the Gu caster. However, this puppet isn't a mindless, sense-deprived robot but retains its original normal thoughts.
In reality, Fang Yuan had simply added a mental stamp of loyalty to the master in Wang He's mind. Apart from having the will to die for the master, Wang He is no different from normal humans.
"My Lord Demon Monarch, look, this is the fierce beast ranking list humans made for you beasts!"
Wang He manipulated the light screen on the communicator, explaining respectfully.
Fierce Beast List?
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan got interested, surprised that humans ranked them. He wondered which rank he held.
Immediately, Fang Yuan shifted his gaze over.
[First Place: Thunder Tiger King, highly likely a third-rank fierce beast... Thunder Power...]
[Second Place: Black Demon Tiger King, a second-rank fierce beast, extremely powerful, ruthless, bloodthirsty, inherently cunning, outstanding in speed, possessing exceedingly bizarre abilities, capable of deploying blood-emanating Demon Insects and Bone Spears against enemies, long wandering within Su Province.
This fierce beast fled severely injured under the Qin Army's assault, extremely dangerous. If sighted, please report to the authorities immediately.]
[Third Place: Vajra Ape King...]
[Fourth Place: Cyan-Scaled Snake King...]
...
[Seventh Place: Golden Eagle King...]
...
"My Lord Demon Monarch, your reputation is illustrious among humans and known by many. The Great Qin Empire officially ranked you second on the Fierce Beast List!"
Wang He looked at Fang Yuan with admiration, speaking proudly.
The prestige of My Lord Demon Monarch gave him honor as well.
Looking at the second place line.
[Second Place, Black Demon Tiger King...]
Black Demon Tiger?
Is that referring to me?
What a terrible name!
Discovering he was called Black Demon Tiger, Fang Yuan felt somewhat displeased inside.
Simultaneously, he realized why Wang He had exclaimed "Black Demon Tiger King" upon seeing him previously.
It turned out humans had long publicized his situation, even giving him this unpleasant title.
Being so strong yet only holding the second spot, Fang Yuan naturally shifted his focus to the first place.
Thunder Tiger King? Thunder Power?
Could that be referring to that dumb tiger?
Instantly, Fang Yuan used his mind to convey his doubts to Wang He.
"My Lord Demon Monarch, this Thunder Tiger King is indeed the giant tiger you know, adept in using Thunder Power, extremely fierce, and terrifyingly strong in combat."
"Because it's very likely a third-rank fierce beast, it got placed in the first spot."
Understanding Fang Yuan's question, Wang He disclosed all he knew, providing Fang Yuan with a definitive answer.
"Hmph, calling it third-rank, that dumb tiger is probably already fourth-rank!"
Hearing this, Fang Yuan scoffed inwardly.
Recalling the oppressive feeling of facing the opponent back then, like an ant gazing at a giant mountain, he couldn't help trembling slightly.
It's worth noting that he's already a third-rank now, yet the other's aura wasn't something a third rank could possess.
This human ranking list must be outdated!
Yet, even so, letting that dumb tiger rank above him, suppressing him.
Fang Yuan still felt very dissatisfied inside.
We, the dignified Ancient Demon Monarch, absolutely must not be beneath others!
Although the opponent's current strength is greater, it doesn't mean it always will be. There will be a day when he surpasses it.
The further he progresses in cultivation, the slower his advancement gets, with breakthroughs taking decades or even centuries.
By then, the benefits of its bloodline talent will significantly diminish, and that dumb tiger's greatest reliance will disappear; what will it have to fight me with?
Fang Yuan secretly thought to himself.
Hahaha... One day, I, the Demon Monarch, will become humanity's fiercest beast, the greatest demon, a nightmare causing terror at the mere mention!
