"After I go back this time, I have to buy a mountable spiritual beast. I think I can find one in the Merit Hall."
Fortunately, although it was a little tiring to travel on foot, Lin Shen had listened to Jiao Yu's suggestion and bought some talismans in advance. Among them was a Divine Movement Talisman that was especially used to travel, so he was moving pretty fast.
In less than half an hour, Lin Shen arrived at the outskirts of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range.
"The closest is Mount Firon. Let's deal with the mountain spirit monkeys there first!"
After checking the map, Lin Shen quickly decided on the destination for the first stop.
Among the few missions he chose, the reward for clearing the mountain spirit monkeys was the highest, which was as high as three minor merits.
This was because according to the mission description, there were 30 to 40 spirit monkeys in Mount Firon, and most of them were in the early phase of the Ascension Stage.
Their leader was even at the mid-phase.
Logically speaking, even disciples at the third or fourth level of the Long Breath Stage wouldn't dare to accept such a mission, let alone disciples at the first or second level.
Only Lin Shen had the confidence to accept such a mission.
With his clones around, he alone was equivalent to six people! "After crossing those two mountains, we'll reach Mount Firon."
Lin Shen looked up and strode up the mountain without any delay.
There were relatively few spiritual beasts in the periphery of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range, but more than 80% of them were at the Ascension Stage. Even for Long Breath Stage cultivators, it was still rather dangerous.
This was also the reason why any crusade mission related to the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range had to be carried out by a disciple of the Long Breath Stage.
Along the way, Lin Shen was very careful. He even pasted a Protection Talisman and a Flying Feather Talisman on his chest, ready to activate them at any time.
Not long after, Lin Shen was acutely aware of a nauseating stench blown his way.
His heart skipped a beat. He immediately stopped and observed his surroundings.
Sure enough, in the next moment, he heard a rustling sound in front of him. Four huge wolves with pitch-black fur and the size of buffaloes slowly walked out from behind the tree.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately spread out and blocked Lin Shen's escape route from four directions. Then, they opened their mouths and let out low growls. Their exposed fangs dripped with sticky saliva, and they looked extremely ferocious.
"Demon wolves..."
Lin Shen narrowed his eyes.
These four demon wolves were clearly at the Ascension Stage.
Only Ascension Stage spiritual beasts would have such an obvious change in appearance.
Just as Lin Shen sized up the four demon wolves, the latter was also observing Lin Shen. A human-like cruelty and ridicule flashed across the four pairs of beast eyes.
They seemed to be certain that this human cultivator in front of them could no longer escape and was destined to become their food.
The confrontation didn't last long. The four demon wolves suddenly let out a low roar and rushed forward at lightning speed. They bared their fangs and pounced ferociously at Lin Shen.
If it were anyone else, their first reaction would be to dodge when the four demon wolves attacked from different directions.
However, Lin Shen stood rooted to the ground and didn't dodge at all.
Instead, he turned his hand and struck the demon wolf in front of him.
Thud!
The incomparably sharp fangs of the demon wolves bit Lin Shen's shoulders, waist, and thighs, but the impact only made a muffled sound as if they had hit leather. Not only didn't they cause any damage to Lin Shen, but they were also shaken by the huge recoil. It hurt their fangs, making their heads sway.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Shen pressed his palm on the head of one of the demon wolves.
Immediately, there was a miserable howl. The demon wolf convulsed violently as if it had been electrocuted, and its head emitted waves of charred smell like roasted meat.
In just a few seconds, its body went limp.
When Lin Shen released his grip, the demon wolf immediately fell to the ground and dropped dead!
The remaining three demon wolves were stunned by the unexpected scene.
Before he could react, Lin Shen turned around and used Meltdown again, killing another demon wolf at lightning speed.
It was only at this moment that the remaining two demon wolves snapped out of their daze. A human-like horror appeared in their beast eyes.
They finally understood this human cultivator in front of them was much stronger than the humans they had encountered before!
Unfortunately, it was already too late for them to realize that. Lin Shen wouldn't let his prey escape.
With the Forbidden Golden Armor on him, Lin Shen didn't need to care about the attacks of the two demon wolves.
On the other hand, his Meltdown could even destroy a Hundred Refinement weapon in one strike. The only thing on the wolves that could withstand a hit from Meltdown was the pair of fangs.
If Lin Shen struck them on other parts of their bodies, they would either die or be severely injured.
In just a few seconds, the remaining two demon wolves followed in the footsteps of their companions.
The moment he killed the last demon wolf, Lin Shen felt his brain tremble slightly as if he had been enlightened. Something seemed to have surged in his mind.
The talent effect of Testify by Killing was triggered!
