"Little Black, let's go and see what your kind looks like in this world. If there's a female, I'll snatch her for you as a wife!" Ye Yun jumped onto Jin Wu's back, took out the monster level distribution map, and carefully identified a direction before urging Jin Wu to speed towards it.
As for Black Ant, it would automatically appear by his side once they reached a certain distance.
Ye Yun sat on Jin Wu's back, looking at the monster level distribution map. He had to admit, this world was truly vast. Fortunately, the map was an electronic view that could be zoomed in to a 1:100 ratio. The map clearly marked the monsters and their corresponding levels in each region.
This time, Ye Yun did not hesitate to choose the Level 1 Flood Beast, the Cloud-Devouring Ant, located three hundred kilometers away.
This was the closest Flood Beast area, and they were only Level 1 Flood Beasts. He wondered why Mu Tuo had gone the long way around, wasting time on travel.
Ye Yun sat on Jin Wu's back, experiencing the thrill of speeding through the air. At ninety-nine meters per second, it was a bit slower than a plane, but it still made Ye Yun incredibly excited.
Three hundred kilometers, and they would arrive in less than an hour.
Whoosh…
A gust of hurricane swept by, almost causing the steadily flying Jin Wu to crash.
Damn it!
Ye Yun looked at the ant sliding its wings leisurely beside him, then glanced at the map, and rubbed his eyes.
"Holy crap, Little Black, what's going on?" Ye Yun was certain that the creature, three hundred zhang long, was his pet, Black Ant!
"Master, I don't know either. I felt very uncomfortable as soon as I left that Arid Wood City, and then this happened," Black Ant's voice, accompanied by gusts of wind, made Jin Wu tremble.
"Good heavens, you're a divine beast, and you can't even handle someone else's sneeze," Ye Yun said, extremely displeased with Jin Wu's performance.
Eventually, Ye Yun, along with Jin Wu who was now acting as a mount, moved to Black Ant's back. Black Ant's back was still covered in spikes, though they were less dense than before.
He wondered if the space behind Black Ant's head was still there. That place was absolutely safe.
Black Ant's flight speed was a few notches faster than Jin Wu's, which made Ye Yun regret choosing Jin Wu as a mount instead of a pet when he first recruited him. He was now being slapped in the face by reality.
"Master, Flood Beasts are rapidly approaching us. It's likely that Jin Wu's aura has attracted their attention," Black Ant said, flying at an altitude of ten thousand meters with excellent visibility.
"Jin Wu's aura?" Ye Yun, through the map, saw more than a dozen red dots rapidly approaching from the west.
More than ten at once. Influenced by Mu Tuo's previous encounter, Ye Yun was quite tense.
"Yes, Master. Jin Wu possesses the bloodline of a pure divine beast, and because its current strength is weak, these Primordial Beasts can potentially break through the shackles of their life forms and advance to higher-level life forms by devouring it and absorbing its essence blood. For instance, if a Level 1 Flood Beast absorbs Jin Wu's essence blood, its chance of advancing to a Level 2 Flood Beast would be 100%, and its chance of directly advancing to a Level 3 Flood Beast would be 60%!"
"Therefore, once Jin Wu's divine beast bloodline aura appears, Flood Beasts within a hundred-mile radius will pursue it."
Tang Monk's flesh…
Ye Yun thought back to when he first arrived in the Shanhai Realm. The demonic beasts had all been coveting him then. He hadn't expected that here, the target would be the weakest creature, Jin Wu.
"Sometimes, Tang Monk's flesh is the best bait. I just hope these fish aren't too big," Ye Yun said, looking at the dozen red dots getting closer, and directly recalled Jin Wu into the mount space. He then sat firmly on top of Black Ant's head.
Not long after, Ye Yun heard a series of chirping sounds. The sounds created ripples in the air, and soon, colossal figures appeared before his eyes.
"Whoa, good fellow, Little Black, aren't these your kin?" Ye Yun exclaimed, teasing Black Ant as he looked at the behemoths flying towards them. The approaching Flood Beasts also noticed Black Ant's presence, and they all stopped in their tracks, chirping.
"Master, please don't compare me to these unawakened fellows. It lowers my intelligence," Black Ant protested Ye Yun's words severely.
"Alright, alright, you're mighty, you're awesome. What are they doing now? Just chirping away." Ye Yun was uncomfortable with the world's design. If they were strong, why did they have to make every monster so enormous?
"They're pressuring me to hand over the divine beast cub. Master, get into my head. I'm going to have a warrior's duel with them."
Black Ant nonchalantly looked at the dozen or so creatures, which were much smaller than himself, that were before him. His two antennae twitched slightly, and he pushed the still-unresponsive Ye Yun to the back of his head before charging towards the dozen giant black ants.
What a warrior's duel.
As Black Ant accelerated, Ye Yun almost fell from the ten thousand meters high sky.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing a Level 1 Primordial Flood Beast - Cloud-Devouring Ant, gaining 60 billion experience points, obtaining Cloud City Token * 1, Spirit Stone * 1, Level 1 Flood Beast Essence Blood * 1, Myriad Forms Stone * 1."
Good heavens, 30 billion experience per ant, and 60 billion with the double experience boost!
For Ye Yun, the main objective of this trip was to level up, so experience points were his top priority.
Cloud City Token - Collecting 10 of these tokens can be fused into a Cloud City Order, which can be used to establish a city within the clouds.
Level 1 Flood Beast Essence Blood - The heaven and earth essence formed after a Level 1 Flood Beast perishes. It is said that using it on corresponding pets can randomly increase the pet's attributes, and has a very low chance of promoting the pet's bloodline growth.
Myriad Forms Stone - An essential item for upgrading buildings within the cities of Primordial players.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing a Level 1 Primordial Flood Beast - Cloud-Devouring Ant, gaining 60 billion experience points, obtaining Spirit Stone * 1, Heaven-Shattering Axe Weapon Fragment * 1."
Heaven-Shattering Axe Fragment - When a player collects 188 Heaven-Shattering Axe fragments and combines them, they can obtain the axe-type spirit weapon, the Heaven-Shattering Axe.
…
Looking at his spoils, Ye Yun felt a sense of helplessness. He now understood Mu Tuo's feelings. In the Primordial world, apart from Spirit Stones, which were always dropped, everything else was random.
Even the dozen Cloud-Devouring Ants before him dropped a variety of items, and sometimes, they only dropped a Spirit Stone.
Three minutes later, Black Ant finally killed all the Cloud-Devouring Ants. Ye Yun gained a total of 860 billion experience points, fourteen Spirit Stones, three Cloud City Tokens, five drops of Level 1 Flood Beast Essence Blood, and various other miscellaneous items.
860 billion experience points! This harvest made Ye Yun ecstatic! If it were in the dungeon of Fengle Village, it would have taken tens of hours to farm.
