Chapter 171 Appetizer

"Senior brother, it's that white shadow again!"

Xiao Hei gazed in the direction the white shadow had last disappeared, his expression quite solemn.

If this white shadow were to attack them, its speed would make it very difficult to handle.

"Senior brother, why does it feel like a fox?"

Lin Hao also felt that the white shadow's form resembled a fox.

But without seeing it clearly, Lin Hao dared not be certain.

Moreover, the more crucial point was, if that white figure was indeed a fox.

To survive in such a place, it was likely already a demon.

Lin Hao pondered these thoughts, then shook his head and said, "Let's go. Fox or not, we must be careful."

With that, Lin Hao continued to walk forward.

After walking for a while, Lin Hao suddenly noticed that the visibility in this area seemed to have improved.

Looking around.

Although the distant scenery was still unclear, everything within a hundred meters was now perfectly visible.

Lin Hao looked up. The sky above was a dense, dark expanse, as if covered by storm clouds.

"Senior brother, it seems we can see clearly now." Xiao Hei scanned his surroundings, his voice tinged with surprise.

Lin Hao nodded. Just as he was about to move forward.

But as soon as he took a step, a sharp screeching sound suddenly reached them.

Lin Hao stopped, his gaze immediately tracking the source of the sound.

It was obvious that this screech was the same as the previous one.

However, this sound was even sharper than the previous one.

Lin Hao and Xiao Hei looked instantly but did not see the white figure.

Lin Hao's brow furrowed. He couldn't help but feel that something was not right.

If it were just a single sound, it might still be considered an anomaly.

But now, the sound had appeared for the third time.

And this time, the sound was clearly sharper than the previous two.

The same sound appearing three times in a row, Lin Hao felt, might signify something.

Mulling over these thoughts, Lin Hao said to Xiao Hei, "Prepare for battle."

Upon hearing Lin Hao's words, Xiao Hei immediately got ready for battle and was about to ask Lin Hao what was wrong.

But before he could speak, several piercing sounds erupted from all around.

Before the sounds even faded, several wild beasts charged directly at Lin Hao and Xiao Hei.

These beasts varied in size, and their fur was either red or black.

Seeing the strangely shaped beasts charging ferociously, Lin Hao was initially stunned, then immediately unleashed a Soul Annihilation Seal.

At the same time, Xiao Hei landed a punch on a red-furred monster.

This red-furred monster was covered in dark red fur and stood over two meters tall.

It ran while beating its own body, completely resembling an upright ape.

Xiao Hei's punch landed on the red-furred monster's head. He had expected to shatter its skull.

But to his surprise, his full-power punch, from his Grandmaster cultivation, only sent the red-furred monster tumbling several times.

Seeing this result, Xiao Hei's eyes widened in astonishment.

Concurrently, the Soul Annihilation Seal Lin Hao had unleashed instantly struck two of the strange beasts.

One of these beasts had the head of a bull and the body of a horse, while the other had the body of a wild boar and the head of a goat, with only a single eye.

The eye was blood-red, emitting an eerie glow, like a ruby.

The other bull-headed, horse-bodied beast had a horn fifty centimeters long, emitting a silver light.

Lin Hao looked at these two bizarrely shaped beasts. He had initially thought that one Soul Annihilation Seal would be enough to kill them.

Although these two beasts, as they charged, seemed to smash through mountains and rocks, their physical bodies appearing indestructible.

But the Soul Annihilation Seal specialized in destroying the soul. Once the soul was destroyed, no matter how powerful the body, it would only become an empty shell.

However, Lin Hao did not expect this.

His nearly full-powered Soul Annihilation Seal only caused the charging beasts to falter slightly.

Then, they roared and charged again.

"Heavenly Thunder Soul Devour!"

Lin Hao raised his hand and unleashed a Soul Annihilation Seal even more potent than the previous one.

As soon as Heavenly Thunder Soul Devour was unleashed, the two strangely shaped beasts, as if sensing danger, immediately changed direction and attacked Lin Hao from both sides!

"They're not stupid, it seems."

Lin Hao frowned inwardly, then raised his hands to control two seals to meet them.

At the same time, Lin Hao accelerated the speed of the seals' flight.

Seeing the seals change direction and pursue them again, the two beasts' charging momentum faltered.

They sensed danger.

After a brief pause, the two beasts seemed to understand, turned, and fled.

However, they were already too late.

The moment they turned to flee, Lin Hao's "Heavenly Thunder Soul Devour Seal" had already penetrated their bodies.

The instant the "Heavenly Thunder Soul Devour Seal" entered the two beasts,

The two beasts' charging momentum halted, and then with a "boom," they fell to the ground.

Seeing these two beasts die, Lin Hao's furrowed brow relaxed slightly.

What worried Lin Hao the most was the fear that even seals of the "Heavenly Thunder Soul Devour" caliber could not kill these beasts.

If they truly couldn't be killed, then it would be troublesome.

Although he still had more powerful seal techniques to kill these beasts.

But in this spiritual energy storm, preserving strength was paramount.

Moreover, Lin Hao felt that these beasts before them were likely just appetizers.

"Senior brother, these beasts are so hard to kill!" Xiao Hei said to Lin Hao after dealing with the red-furred monster.

He was now a Hua Jin Grandmaster. Killing a beast was as easy as moving his fingers.

But just now, he had to exert considerable effort to finally kill that red-furred monster.

Listening to Xiao Hei, Lin Hao unleashed "Heavenly Thunder Soul Devour" at two more charging beasts.

Then, he pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Hei, "These beasts have tough hides and are indeed difficult to deal with."

"However, I tested it just now. Their souls are slightly weaker compared to their bodies."

"So, you just need to gather the spiritual energy within you and focus it into a single point, targeting their souls."

Hearing Lin Hao's words, Xiao Hei nodded. "I'll try."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Hei had already found a beast and charged towards it.

As he charged, Xiao Hei gathered his internal spiritual power and directed it towards his right index finger.

Then, the moment Xiao Hei reached the beast, he raised his finger, and the spiritual energy in his hand instantly shot out like lightning, striking the beast's forehead!

The previously roaring beast instantly fell to the ground with a "boom," its life extinguished.

Seeing the incredibly fierce beast dealt with so quickly by himself, Xiao Hei was overjoyed.

"Senior brother, it worked!"

Lin Hao, having dealt with the last beast with a casual move, said to Xiao Hei, "These should only be appetizers. We still need to be cautious."
