Although the gray wolf was very fast, to an Ancient Martial Artist like Yang Tian, it was still weak.
Yang Tian sidestepped the gray wolf's attack, drew the Holy Sword, and slashed fiercely.
The Holy Sword, sharp as can be, sliced with such force that it cleaved the gray wolf in two.
A gush of blood splattered out.
The gray wolf was split in half and crashed to the ground.
Roar!
The gray wolf let out a series of howls before dying, and hearing these sounds, Yang Tian smirked coldly, fully aware that the wolf was alerting its companions.
Wolves are pack animals.
And in the third layer of the continent, it was no different.
Soon, Yang Tian heard howling echoing from all directions.
Yang Tian unleashed the Heaven-shattering Palm Technique, striking down heavily upon the wolf.
Boom!
A roaring explosion sounded, with one strike thoroughly crushing the gray wolf dead.
Then Yang Tian used the Holy Sword to pry open the wolf's carcass and extract the purplish-red Wolf Crystal.
The Wolf Crystal felt warm in his hand.
Holding the Wolf Crystal, Yang Tian quickly fled into a cave.
"Yang Tian, what's going on?"
Wang Ying saw Yang Tian return covered in blood and looked at him with confusion.
"Outside, it's a Demon Wolf, already slain!"
Yang Tian took the Wolf Crystal to Wang Yue, pressed it in his hand, crushed it, mixed it with Spiritual Breath, and then applied it to Wang Yue's abdomen.
In a dazzling moment, the Demon Qi from the Wolf Crystal surged out, significantly dispersing the blackness from Wang Yue's abdomen.
"Yueyue, how do you feel now?"
Yang Tian picked up Wang Yue.
"Big brother, I'm feeling much better..."
Wang Yue's little face was no longer so pale.
"Okay."
Yang Tian nodded and knew he must go hunt Demon Beasts to dispel the darkness in Wang Yue's abdomen using more Demon Crystals.
He instructed Wang Ying and others to rest on the spot and set out at dawn to hunt Demon Beasts again.
On the outskirts of the third layer of the continent, there were lower-cultivated Demon Beasts, and Yang Tian killed them quickly; in one day, he slew more than thirty Demon Beasts including rabbits, monkeys, lions, and tigers.
These Demon Beasts, having cultivated, were inherently ferocious and violent.
Even if Yang Tian didn't actively attack them, they would fiercely pounce, so he slew them without holding back.
After a day of killing, Yang Tian obtained over thirty Demon Crystals.
He crushed all these Demon Crystals, channeling Spiritual Breath to Wang Yue's abdomen.
This significantly dispersed the darkness there.
"Yueyue, how are you feeling now?"
Wang Ying saw Wang Yue nestled in Yang Tian's arms and asked.
"I'm feeling much better..."
Wang Yue replied.
But Yang Tian knew there was significant darkness within Wang Yue that couldn't be fully expelled in a short time. Seeing her reluctance to speak, his heart ached, fearing that Young Lady Yaoyao's attempt to use Wang Yue in refining a Magical Treasure had deeply scarred her.
Yang Tian clenched his fists tightly.
If he met Young Lady Yaoyao again, Yang Tian wouldn't be so kind!
This Young Lady Yaoyao was no longer the little fox that depended on him; instead, she was a witch.
The witch had powerful mana but was inherently crafty and ruthless.
Uncertain why the witch would hide her soul within the Fox Race, but showing sentiment to a witch was courting death.
Meeting a witch only led to one result: being killed, fleeing, or killing her.
"Let's set off towards the deeper part of the continent. Outside, there are only low-level Demon Beasts; perhaps deeper in the forest, there will be more advanced ones. We need to heal Yueyue and capture some powerful Demon Beasts!"
Yang Tian said and led the three girls towards the forest depths.
The entire continent echoed with the sounds of Demon Beasts and beast roars.
Yang Tian scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense, sensing that others were also capturing and fighting Demon Beasts but couldn't sense the witch's aura.
This witch wanted to seize Magical Treasures to refine and restore her power.
She would undoubtedly hunt Demon Beasts.
Uncertain of the witch's terrifying strength, even the Guardian of the continent feared her, worrying that if she fully restored her power, all cultivators here might be slaughtered.
Frankly, Yang Tian was not a match for this witch.
But Yang Tian entered this place primarily to find Immortal Level Magical Treasures and Ghost Spirit Demon Beasts, avoiding the witch if possible.
Then, Yang Tian led the three girls deeper into the forest.
After searching for half a day, they couldn't find any stronger Demon Beast.
Perhaps in the third-layer continent, the strongest were merely Earth Spirit Beasts.
To find more advanced Demon Beasts might require reaching higher-level continents.
"Yang Tian, if there are Demon Beasts all around, why not get rid of them?"
Wang Ying asked.
"Here, it's likely just Earth Spirit Beasts. To find more advanced Demon Beasts, we need to enter the fourth-layer continent."
Yang Tian said.
"To enter a higher-level continent might only be achievable by that witch. Previously, we opened the Eight Trigrams Array using her body, entering the third-layer continent using a rift she opened."'
Ling Ying said.
"In that case, there might be stronger Demon Beasts in this continent than Earth Spirit Beasts. The witch entered long ago, and yet hasn't managed to open the fourth-layer continent, perhaps something is absorbing her!"
