Chapter 275: Monkey Troop's Provocation, Advancing to Tier 3, Back to the Ravine!
The body of the third-tier hawk, swaying unsteadily in mid-air, had the power of the poisonous fire completely erupt within it.
Even though the hawk possessed the essence of a third-tier life, it couldn't withstand the erosion of the two energies of the poisonous fire.
Lu Sheng's gaze was tightly fixed on the hawk's body. Despite the hawk's faster speed in the sky, it could not escape Lu Sheng's perception.
Soon, the hawk's body plummeted from the sky into a mountain ravine.
Seeing this, Lu Sheng's eyes couldn't help but shine with a bright light.
"Finally couldn't hold on!"
Lu Sheng's eyes burned with fervor, swiftly dashing toward the direction where the hawk had fallen.
Lu Sheng knew very well that if he devoured the bloodline power within the hawk and successfully refined it with the Dragon Transformation Technique, his strength would undoubtedly soar. Even if it wouldn't ensure his safety in the Beast Realm, at least in this forest, he would have the ability to protect himself as long as he didn't act recklessly.
Therefore... Lu Sheng was determined to obtain the hawk's corpse!
Lu Sheng quickly darted toward that mountain ravine, turning into a red afterimage, weaving through the forest.
Soon, Lu Sheng arrived at the ravine.
However, when Lu Sheng saw the hawk's corpse, his expression couldn't help but slightly darken.
Surrounding the hawk's corpse were brown monkeys, currently waving their hands as if cheering for the food that fell from the sky.
These monkeys emitted an extremely powerful aura.
These monkeys... were actually at the third-tier level.
Moreover, as Lu Sheng searched through the monkey group, he found an even more robust monkey among them, whose strength had reached the terrifying peak of the third tier!
Comparatively, its power surpassed the hawk that previously toyed with Lu Sheng.
"Aoo! Aoo! Aoo!!"
Suddenly, a monkey let out a sharp cry, pointing its finger in Lu Sheng's direction.
Following this, the entire monkey troop turned their gaze toward Lu Sheng.
Their eyes glowed scarlet, and from their gaze, a hint of brutal aura could be sensed.
It sent a chill down the spine.
"These guys..."
When Lu Sheng saw the monkey troop staring at him, a slight heaviness settled in his heart.
"These monkeys have intelligence higher than that of common exotic beasts of the same realm and have even developed a tribe of considerable scale."
Upon first entering the Beast Realm, Lu Sheng utilized his perception to sense the surrounding situation.
In the Beast Realm, if there's something you absolutely shouldn't provoke,
it isn't an individually powerful exotic beast, but those exotic beast tribes that have formed!
These tribes are vast, each possessing formidable power, and when united, can even force beasts of the same tier to flee.
Like the monkey troop before him, despite their not so numerous numbers, they clearly have the makings of a tribe, and their intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary exotic beasts.
Under such circumstances, even a fourth-tier exotic beast would likely avoid provoking the monkey troop.
This is quite troublesome.
"Chi! Chi! Chi!!"
Within the monkey troop, sounds erupted again, seemingly conveying something to Lu Sheng.
Though Lu Sheng couldn't understand their actions, he keenly detected a trace of mockery in their expressions.
Clearly...
They were mocking Lu Sheng!
In the next moment, the leading monkey once again let out a sharp cry, with a chilling hint of killing intent in its voice.
Following that, the surrounding monkeys leapt out, unleashing a powerful aura, charging straight toward Lu Sheng's position.
Evidently, Lu Sheng, who had unwittingly entered their sight, had become their target.
In Lu Sheng's eyes, a cold light flashed momentarily, and without hesitation, he turned and left.
"These monkeys..."
A hint of killing intent emerged in Lu Sheng's heart.
"I'm not yet their match, but once I grow stronger... I'll undoubtedly slay this group and use them as my nourishment!"
Lu Sheng silently marked the location of the ravine in his heart, but his figure disappeared from it at once.
By the time the monkeys caught up, Lu Sheng was nowhere to be found. Although their intelligence was not weak, in this situation, they could only vent their dissatisfaction at the empty air around them.
...
Time flew by swiftly, and in no time, a week had passed.
As time passed, more and more exotic beasts returned to the forest, making survival difficult for Lu Sheng, even after advancing to the second tier.
Fortunately...
On this day, Lu Sheng successfully captured a second-tier bird, and without hesitation, devoured its body in one gulp.
Afterwards, Lu Sheng returned to his haven—his previous cave.
"The bloodline power of the second-tier bird... combined with the numerous second-tier exotic beasts I've hunted in previous days, perhaps... it's time to advance!"
Lu Sheng silently thought, carefully returning to the cave. After ensuring there was no sign of exotic beasts around, he lay down within it, beginning to operate the Dragon Transformation Technique, refining the bloodline power he had just consumed.
As time gradually passed, soon, a powerful aura began to emanate from Lu Sheng's body, slowly spreading out.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!!!
Suddenly, a series of faint buzzing sounds came from within Lu Sheng, followed by the sight of his body beginning to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And on Lu Sheng's back, two splits began to form.
Fresh flesh started to grow out from these two splits, bit by bit.
After an unknown passage of time, the newly grown flesh had transformed into scaled fleshy wings, gently resting behind Lu Sheng.
At this moment, Lu Sheng finally regained control over his body and suddenly opened his eyes.
Rumble!!
A powerful aura roared out from inside Lu Sheng, and the intensity of this aura... had astonishingly reached the level of Tier 3!
Successfully advanced!
Lu Sheng felt the energy fluctuations within his body, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Finally... I've stepped into Tier 3!"
"Besides growing wings on my back, my body size has also increased to five meters!"
The massive body made the entire cave appear a bit cramped.
With a slight shift in Lu Sheng's thoughts, the system panel appeared before his eyes at this moment.
[Name: Lu Sheng]
[Race: Forest Lizard (Red Variant)]
[Realm: Tier 3 (1/100)]
[Fire Spray: (95/100)]
[Color Change: (85/100)]
[Toxin: (60/100)]
[Dragon Transformation Technique: LV3 (1/100)]
[Bloodline Purity: (99/100)]
"After advancing to Tier 3, my poison fire ability has also improved to some extent. Coupled with the existence of the fleshy wings, I've also gained the ability to fly."
"This is already quite a decent skill set below Tier 4, except for flying exotic beasts."
Lu Sheng looked at the system panel with a satisfied smile.
"In this case..."
A faint gleam of light flickered in Lu Sheng's eyes.
"Perhaps I can break through to Tier 4 in this world, and to break through to Tier 4..."
"The monkey group in the mountain stream... seems like a good choice!"
As Lu Sheng spoke, he slowly walked out of the cave.
Advancement in the Beast Realm is simple and straightforward.
That is to devour other exotic beasts, strengthening one's bloodline power.
Now that Lu Sheng is at Tier 3, if he can devour the entire monkey group, he is certain to step into Tier 4.
Coupled with the previous provocation from the monkey group towards Lu Sheng...
In Lu Sheng's eyes, the monkey group in the mountain stream has already been added to Lu Sheng's kill list.
"The monkeys are generally at Tier 3, and the leader even has strength at the pinnacle of Tier 3, especially after devouring a Tier 3 eagle, their strength might have improved further."
"If I have already broken through to Tier 4, there would be no need to trouble the monkey group at this time... But if not..."
A cold glint flashed through Lu Sheng's eyes, and then his figure directly rushed out.
The next moment, he appeared outside the mountain stream.
The birth of his fleshy wings had enabled Lu Sheng to fly through the air, and with this flying ability, his speed also became very fast.
Just as he arrived outside the mountain stream, Lu Sheng could already sense a strong aura emanating from within it.
Through the feedback of perception, Lu Sheng knew that the owner of this aura was indeed the leader of the monkey group.
Lu Sheng's eyes lowered: "Judging from the aura, although it has become much stronger than a week ago, the monkey group leader's strength is still at the Tier 3 level and hasn't broken through to Tier 4."
"In that case, it will be much easier!"
Lu Sheng smiled faintly and directly charged into the mountain stream, accompanied by a low roar emerging from his mouth.
Roar Roar Roar!!!
The sound waves spread out, sweeping across the entire mountain stream.
In an instant, some ordinary birds and beasts scattered away under this roar.
Then, a number of Tier 3 level monkeys appeared, baring their teeth and claws at Lu Sheng in the sky.
Among the monkey group, a monkey measuring up to four meters slowly emerged.
Lu Sheng's gaze instantly fell on this monkey.
At this moment, the monkey leader... had also grown a wing on its back!
