The Shadow Leopard was the first animal Ling Tian had captured using his Spirit Realm space. For a long time, this creature had been within the Spirit Realm, madly absorbing the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and thus evolving.
Although the concentration of spiritual energy on this Ice Fire Island was very high, the density of this energy was still far inferior to Ling Tian's Spirit Realm space.
Over these past few months, the Shadow Leopard had evolved at a furious pace. Its combat power was incomparable to when Ling Tian had first subdued it.
Moreover, after so much modification, the Shadow Leopard's intelligence had also been developed. It was now telepathically connected with Ling Tian.
As soon as this large black cat was released, it affectionately rubbed its head against Ling Tian's body repeatedly.
Ling Tian played with the large creature for a while, patted the leopard's head, and then walked towards the depths of the forest.
Not long after Ling Tian left, two figures appeared where Ling Tian had just passed.
One of the figures was an elegant Indian woman. Beside the woman was a tiger more than three meters long!
This woman was none other than Fanya!
Her brother, with whom she had shared a life of mutual dependence, had failed in his attempt to ambush Ling Tian and was hanged at the dock.
This woman then fell into a frenzy. She wanted to avenge her brother. As a result, Canaan, who had coveted her beauty, was also killed by Ling Tian on the arena.
Fanya decided that she would kill Ling Tian with her own hands to avenge her brother!
She spent her days on the island, inquiring about Ling Tian's whereabouts, even going so far as to sell her body in exchange for the intelligence and resources she desired.
Her efforts were not in vain. Tonight, she learned that Ling Tian had come to the free zone alone. This made her ecstatic. So, she brought her pet to hunt Ling Tian!
Ling Tian traveled through the forest for about half an hour when suddenly, his Shadow Leopard sent a warning.
Ling Tian quickly controlled his consciousness, and in an instant, he was telepathically connected with the Shadow Leopard, which was tens of meters away.
Through the Shadow Leopard's eyes, Ling Tian saw that the forest ahead was overgrown with bushes. However, these trees and bushes were inhabited by a large number of venomous snakes.
Some of these venomous snakes were golden yellow all over, and even had horns on their heads.
Ling Tian recognized them as the very rare Golden Vipers that Hart had mentioned. Generally, individuals with horns on their heads were very long-lived, very large, and extremely rare.
But here, most of the Golden Vipers had horns on their heads. These animals looked beautiful and eerie, and behind them lay endless danger.
Ling Tian calculated that given the density of venomous snakes in this forest, it would be difficult for him to pass through without disturbing them.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Ling Tian's mind. Following this thought, Ling Tian's mind flickered, and a thick, massive creature appeared before him!
It was a giant King Cobra, about 10 meters long and as thick as an adult's calf. It had two large scales behind its head, which had already turned reddish-brown.
Normal King Cobras were black with some white stripes, but the stripes on this snake were actually red!
This King Cobra was the venomous dragon that Ling Tian had subdued. Now, after being nourished and evolved in the Spirit Realm space, its size had long surpassed that of the largest individuals of its species.
The venomous dragon approached Ling Tian, reared its upper body, and its head was more than two meters above the ground.
Ling Tian pointed at the bushes ahead.
"Clear the way for me. The path ahead depends on you."
The giant King Cobra nodded humanely, its tongue flicking with a hissing sound, and then it slithered directly into the bushes.
The appearance of this behemoth caused the previously calm bushes to erupt.
The venomous snakes in the bushes, sensing the arrival of great danger, all moved and fled towards the depths of the forest.
Animals possessed spiritual awareness, even cold-blooded reptiles. These animals were extremely sensitive to danger.
King Cobras, as a species, primarily fed on various snakes. Their evolution was already peculiar.
The venom of the King Cobra was a mixed toxin, a combination of hemotoxin, neurotoxin, and cytotoxin, which greatly amplified its power.
What's more, the King Cobra was immune to the venom of most other snakes.
With such an animal that preyed on snakes appearing in the forest, all the other snakes sensed the danger and fled immediately.
As a result, within a 20-meter radius of the venomous dragon, there were no other venomous snakes.
Thus, Ling Tian swaggered through the forest, heading towards the distant volcano.
With these two powerful bodyguards, plus his Heavenly Eye divine ability, Ling Tian moved through the forest as easily as taking a stroll.
Of course, he wasn't idle either. Along the way, if he saw any rare medicinal herbs or exotic plants, he would stop, dig them up along with the soil using a small shovel, and then transport these plants into the spiritual medicine garden of his Spirit Realm space.
After another half an hour, it was nearing midnight. Ling Tian arrived at the edge of the forest. Here, there was a patch of low-lying grassland, and the temperature here was nearly 10 degrees higher than at the seaside, feeling like summer.
A few hundred meters further ahead was a trench formed by lava. Endless lava flowed along the trench into the distant sea.
As this lava came into contact with the seawater, it immediately churned and boiled, then cooled, forming solidified rock. This was how Hell Paradise Island had slowly grown over the years.
Just then, Ling Tian suddenly sensed that something in the sky was following him.
He looked up and observed carefully, finally discovering an eagle soaring with its wings spread at an altitude of over 1000 meters.
Ling Tian also sensed that this eagle was actually observing him!
At the same time, Ling Tian heard the sound of a dry branch snapping behind him, tens of meters away.
Ling Tian quickly turned around and found, about 30 meters behind him, a pair of round, glowing orbs illuminated in the grass.
Beside the orbs was an elegant figure.
"Who are you, and why are you following me?"
The figure quickly revealed itself. This person was Fanya.
"Ling Tian, you killed my brother. I want to avenge my brother!"
Ling Tian took great effort to understand Fanya's foreign language, which carried a curry accent.
Ling Tian sneered, "Let me correct you on one point. Your brother was killed by the island lord, Mario Kuit. If you want revenge, you should find him!"
"No, don't quibble. My brother died because of you. If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have died!"
"Heh heh, I had no enmity with your brother. He came to kill me, so he deserved to die!"
