Hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, the system in his mind was even more speechless. It seemed that the speed of his rewards really couldn't keep up with this guy's heaven-defying opportunities.
However, the system in Liu Ziming's mind wasn't going to give up its rewards. After all, keeping these rewards was useless to him, and if he could rapidly improve by not keeping them, it would be a good thing for him. "Don't you want to know what the system's rewards are? Isn't it a bit of a waste to just give them up like this?" When the system finished speaking, Liu Ziming never expected that the system would actually beg him to accept its rewards. What kind of logic was that?
But since the system had already said so, Liu Ziming had no reason to refuse. Besides, why not take the reward? He wasn't stupid. "Heh, tell me what your reward is, but it'd better not come with any conditions, otherwise I won't care."
Hearing that Liu Ziming was so powerful, the system was even more speechless and helpless. However, there was no way to stop the rewards from being distributed, otherwise the system would collapse. "Host is in the Demon Beast Forest of the Demon King's City. Has your location in the void changed? Is the map of the Demon Beast Forest no longer useful to you?"
Liu Ziming really couldn't understand why the system in his mind was so bizarre, starting to piqu his interest, but he had no choice but to keep listening.
"Yes, what you said makes perfect sense. The map of the Warcraft Forest that I have is a reward you gave me, but it seems to have lost its purpose now. Do you have any other better ideas?"
The system in Liu Ziming's mind seemed particularly smug upon hearing this guy's words, because it had already prepared a system reward for Liu Ziming; otherwise, it wouldn't have said that. "Congratulations, host, you have obtained the system reward: Demon King's City, the Elf Clan of the Demon Beast Forest, and the ability to sense things in advance!"
Hearing the system give him such a reward, Liu Ziming never dreamed that he could actually sense such a reward in advance. It was really amazing. He never dared to dream of such a thing.
"Holy crap, this is amazing! I've actually gained the ability to sense things in advance! (cibj) Such a reward is truly a priceless treasure in the Warcraft Forest. System is awesome!" Liu Ziming couldn't help but exclaim inwardly! Having such an awesome system is truly a wonderful thing.
However, just as Liu Ziming was overjoyed to have such an awesome system, the two elders, the Giant Ape and the Flame Dragon, were staring intently at him. They noticed his strange expression and mistakenly thought he had entered a state of demonic possession again.
"Hey! Young man, wake up! What's wrong with you? Are you being influenced by the virtual world?"
The giant ape elder looked very worried and gently shook Liu Ziming's body to wake him up quickly. In fact, Liu Ziming already knew his condition; this state would definitely arouse suspicion from others, but he had no choice but to keep quiet.
"Hehe, Senior Giant Ape, don't worry, I have no problem. I was just thinking about some things and seemed to get a little engrossed. I'm really sorry to have made you worry."
Hearing Liu Ziming's explanation, the giant ape elder didn't take it to heart at all. After all, the young man had his own secrets and couldn't tell him everything, which he could understand. "Is there something wrong with this strange system? The reward came so late. If it had come earlier, why would I have to suffer like this?"
Liu Ziming still harbored resentment towards the system, displaying a cunning and scheming demeanor. Because, according to Liu Ziming's thinking, if he could have sensed these things beforehand, he could have completely altered his course of action and plans.
Fortunately, they had traveled a considerable distance without encountering any danger. The cave remained the same, unusually quiet, yet everyone felt an eeriness in the stillness. "Liu Ziming," Yuebai said, "the last time I came here, I was almost at the end of the cave when I encountered something strange that almost cost me my life. You must be careful!" Yuebai, relying on his experience, calculated that they were likely nearing the cave entrance, and thus, somewhat worried, issued a warning.
Actually, even without Yuebai's reminder, Liu Ziming had already made plans. Since Yuebai encountered danger at the cave entrance, they might not be able to avoid it either.
"Don't worry, you silly girl. If we encounter a higher-level magical beast, that would be something we'd love to do. We've awakened our bloodlines, but we haven't had the chance to use them yet."
Chapter 368 The Four-Faced Beast
Before Liu Ziming could react at all, the old Flame Dragon appeared extremely arrogant, swaying its huge tail as if it were the best in the world.
Seeing the Flame Dragon's incredibly arrogant demeanor, the Giant Ape retorted irritably, finding the dragon's behavior utterly unseemly. "Old man, don't be so confident. If danger arises, you'd better not be the first to run away. If you do, I'll smash you into a pulp!" The Giant Ape was genuinely disgusted by the Flame Dragon's swagger; having lived past such an advanced age, it was completely out of character for dragons.
Of course, the Flame Dragon didn't take the giant ape elder's reminder to heart at all. He really wanted to test just how powerful his awakened Ancestral Dragon bloodline was. His heart was filled with too many desires.
"Haha, I really can't wait any longer. I hope a high-level magical beast appears right now so I can take it down by myself. That way, my Ancestral Dragon bloodline can continue to improve. Isn't this a windfall?"
The old Flame Dragon laughed heartily, his laughter so loud it shook the trees throughout the entire Monster Forest, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
"Senior Flame Dragon, shouldn't we keep a low profile? If we don't provoke those high-level magical beasts, we probably won't be in danger. Aren't you just looking for trouble?" Liu Ziming was truly exasperated. Senior Flame Dragon's behavior was clearly a deliberate provocation of those high-level magical beasts. Why bother? "It's precisely because we're all on edge that you're doing this. Doing this will undoubtedly anger those high-level magical beasts. It's purely a suicidal act."
The giant ape elder also retorted to the fire dragon elder in a bad tone, because he really couldn't understand what this old guy was trying to do. If he was going to do something stupid, why drag everyone else down with him?
"Don't worry, if a high-level magical beast really appears, I'll handle it all by myself. It has nothing to do with you guys. Even if I encounter danger, you don't need to help. I want to see just how powerful I am now that I've awakened the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon."
Seeing the Fire Dragon's nonchalant expression, everyone was speechless, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they were a team, and if it really came to that, they couldn't abandon the old Fire Dragon.
Seeing the delicate expression on Liu Ziming's face, everyone's hearts were truly unsettled. In the Monster Forest, encountering higher-level monsters, especially those of rank 9 or above, would be a fatal blow to them.
Because of Liu Ziming's reminder, they could clearly feel that the largest magical beast was slowly approaching them. The earth-shaking sensation was becoming increasingly obvious; even a fool would know it. "Stinky spider, this magical beast is probably above the ninth rank. Why is this earth-shaking sensation so unsettling?"
Slime Mirror and the cat angel instantly hid behind Liu Ziming, their faces showing extreme fear. They seemed to have forgotten that he too had awakened his bloodline, making him far stronger than before. "Holy crap, you guys don't need to act like this! Have you forgotten you've awakened your bloodlines? Don't you want to experience the feeling of your rapidly increasing strength?" Although Liu Ziming was speechless, he still smiled and chuckled, actually trying to boost their confidence. "You stinky spider, don't think that without your protection we'd die in the Monster Forest. What's so great about that?"
Upon hearing that Liu Ziming didn't want to protect her, Slime Mirror seemed particularly unhappy. She was clearly a girl, how could this guy not care about her feelings? (Requesting flowers.)
"My goodness, this monster is really high level. Judging from its size, it's as big as a small mountain. It's beyond my comprehension!"
"My God, this isn't some higher-level magical beast, it's practically a mountain slowly moving! If I were to get hurt by this thing, I'd probably be dead!" "My goodness, this thing is huge! What is it? I can't make out what it is at all!"
Everyone watching the enormous, at least rank 9 magical beast relentlessly approaching them was starting to feel uneasy. The creature was so huge that they still couldn't figure out what it was.
"...00 Liu Ziming, Liu Ziming! It was this huge guy who almost killed me! You absolutely can't let him get close to us, it's very dangerous!"
Liu Ziming never expected that when this higher-level magical beast appeared before her, Yuebai would be so terrified, her body trembling uncontrollably, her heart filled with boundless fear.
"Everyone be careful. This thing is huge, weighing at least tens of tons. We don't have a name for it, so we just call it the 'four unlikes'. Although it's huge and moves very slowly, you have to be careful. If you get hurt by it, it'll be a real problem."
Liu Ziming carefully observed this magical beast, which was at least level 9. He looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was. However, he could clearly sense that it was a hybrid of some magical beasts, otherwise it would never look like this.
"Haha, I'll take care of this guy. You lot, don't worry about him."
Although Liu Ziming had issued a warning signal, the Flame Dragon Elder did not take it to heart at all. After all, he had already awakened the bloodline of the ancient ancestral dragon and wanted to test just how terrifying the energy of his bloodline was.
With a deafening boom, the Flame Dragon Elder's massive tail slammed into the strange, unrecognizable body.
Chapter 369 Terrifying Bloodline Power
It seemed as if the Flame Dragon Elder had ignored Liu Ziming's question. The power of his attack produced a tremendous sound, like the collapse of the heavens and the earth, making everyone feel heartbroken. "My goodness! This is too terrifying. The Flame Dragon Elder has awakened the bloodline of the ancient ancestral dragon. The power of this bloodline is so vast, it's unimaginable!"
Actually, not only were they unaware, but even the Flame Dragon Elder himself was shocked. He had awakened the bloodline of the ancient ancestral dragon and could unleash such terrifying power—it was fucking awesome! "Haha, didn't I just say that I could handle this gigantic creature alone? Looks like I really do have that kind of terrifying strength?"
The Flame Dragon "200" seemed quite satisfied with his awakened bloodline of the ancient ancestral dragon, because the punch he had just thrown could be described as using all his strength, actually sending that strange creature, which was as big as a small mountain, flying more than half a meter away.
"Awoooooo!"
What message is being conveyed?
"Everyone, please be careful. My senior, Flame Dragon, definitely cannot handle this gigantic Qilin alone. It's best if we all work together to end the battle and kill this Qilin in the shortest time."
Despite the terrifying power of the Flame Elder's bloodline, Liu Ziming felt that it would be better for everyone to work together and use their awakened bloodline abilities to quickly kill the gigantic, powerful, and level 9 or higher magical beast, the Qilin.
"Hehe, Spider Boss, what you said makes perfect sense. We can't wait any longer. We can't let that old Flame Dragon enjoy it all by himself; wouldn't that be too easy on him?" The Giant Ape Elder spoke as he swiftly created a blur before pouncing on the gigantic Qilin before him, without hesitation, using both hands and feet with incredible speed. "You old monkey, you actually want to steal my fruit? How can that be allowed?"
Seeing the giant ape senior's swift attack on the Qilin, the fire dragon senior didn't hesitate either. He dragged his long body, transforming into a long arc, and also attacked the gigantic Qilin before him. "Now that the two seniors have already made their move, what are we still considering? Are we going to wait until the food gets cold before we speak?"
It has to be said that Slime Mirror's arrogant personality has finally been revealed. Now that the Flame Dragon Elder and the Giant Ape Elder have made their moves, what else do they have to consider?
"Sister Slime Jing, I agree with what you said. I have a kind of itchy feeling and want to experience what state my awakened bloodline has reached. But this huge, unrecognizable creature in front of me is too big!" Although the Seven-Colored Deer had also awakened the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Divine Deer, he was not very confident about his awakened bloodline. Moreover, he was naturally timid, so he was actually pretending to be a little cowardly.
"You bastard, if you don't make a move now, you might miss your chance. Didn't you see those two seniors attacking that level 9 or higher magical beast, the Qilin, like madmen, having such a blast and enjoying it so much? Aren't you tempted?"
The timid seven-colored slime Jing didn't complain much and quickly joined the battle, because he knew that if he was too late, he probably wouldn't have a chance. Although the level 9 or higher magical beast in front of him was as big as a small mountain, he was already feeling powerless under the crazy attacks of the two seniors.
"Hehe, old man, I didn't expect your ancient ape bloodline to be so powerful. It seems we really have turned misfortune into blessing?"
The Flame Dragon Elder unleashed the power of his ancient ancestral dragon bloodline, attacking with incredible speed and immense power. He even had time to observe the Giant Ape Elder's attack, making him appear exceptionally formidable.
"Hehe, you old man, there's no need to belittle me like that. So what if you awakened the bloodline of the ancient ancestral dragon? My ancient ape bloodline isn't much different from yours. After the battle, we'll search carefully and see who made this gigantic ninth-tier magical beast, the Qilin, completely cower."
Although the Flame Dragon Elder and the Giant Ape Elder appeared quite casual when attacking, these little guys didn't dare to act that way. They were very cautious, afraid of being accidentally injured by the enormous, four-legged creature...
"Ouch! Ouch!"
Perhaps it was the combined attack of many people that truly enraged this enormous ninth-tier magical beast, the Qilin. It opened its massive mouth, trying to suck all of them in. As it opened its mouth, the surrounding air instantly exploded, as if a raging storm was brewing.
"Holy crap, is this guy trying to use his devouring ability? He actually has such a terrifying ability to absorb things?"
Although the enormous 9th-tier magical beast, the Qilin, looked particularly terrifying to others, Liu Ziming didn't take it seriously at all. He kept his arms crossed over his chest, watching intently, without any intention of making a move.
"Hehe, I forgot to remind everyone, every level of magical beast has its weaknesses. If you all keep attacking its outer skin, even if 1.9 exhausts all of you, it won't suffer much damage."
Through careful observation, Liu Ziming discovered that this was a gigantic, mountain-like creature with its own weaknesses. Every time it attacked, it would use its giant paws to protect its eyes, appearing extremely frightened.
"Holy crap, how come I didn't think of that? This young man is really something else, secretly observing from behind. I thought he was just watching the show."
Others might not have heeded Liu Ziming's reminder, but the Giant Ape Elder and the Flame Dragon Elder instantly understood. They realized that Liu Ziming was indeed very observant, having discovered the weakness of this ninth-tier magical beast, the Qilin, in attack—its eyes.
Chapter 370 Misplaced Space
"Haha, thank you, Spider Master. I know where this guy's defensive weakness is—his eyes. If we all work together and keep attacking his eyes, I'm afraid this guy won't be able to hold out for much longer."
Although the Flame Dragon Elder possessed terrifying attack power due to his ancient ancestral dragon bloodline, the size of this level 9 or higher magical beast, the Four-Unlikes, was simply too large, and they really had no way to deal with it in the short term.
"Holy crap, I thought that girl was just watching the show from the sidelines, but I didn't expect her to actually think of these questions. She's really amazing!"
"Heh, you stinky spider, if you don't step in when we're in danger, I'll twist your ears together when the battle's over!" "Wow, so this guy's huge, and his weak point is actually his eyes. But his eyes are really too big, bigger than an elephant's!"
This level 9 or higher magical beast, the Qilin, was truly enormous. When it moved, it resembled a small mountain, its gait producing a loud, rumbling sound, like an earthquake. "Ancient Ape Annihilation!" "Divine Dragon in the Sky!" "Bloodthirsty Divine Art!"
With shouts echoing, having discovered the guy's weakness, these people didn't hesitate at all, unleashing their ultimate killing techniques after awakening their bloodlines. They were prepared to strike with a single blow. "Holy crap, these guys don't need to go to such lengths, actually using their ultimate killing techniques after awakening their bloodlines. If this happened to some people, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand it." Liu Ziming was just watching the show from the sidelines. He hadn't expected that the abilities these people had unleashed after awakening their bloodlines were truly terrifying, and not everyone could withstand them.
Seeing that even the ninth-tier or higher magical beast, the Qilin, could not withstand the attack, Liu Ziming's heart was also stirred.
"Everyone, give it your all! This guy's about to give up. I never imagined our awakened bloodline abilities would be so terrifying, capable of effortlessly slaying magical beasts of rank 9 and above?"
The old Flame Dragon seemed particularly excited, constantly taking care of everyone, and pushing them to finish off the 9th-tier magical beast, the Qilin, because the creature was indeed struggling, and they had found its weak point: its eyes.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
The feeling of being on the verge of death caused the ninth-tier magical beast, the Qilin, to completely erupt, its roar shaking the entire magical beast forest and making it look particularly terrifying.
However, this only represented his anger; it didn't solve anything else. These people wouldn't give him any chance to retaliate, relentlessly attacking his eyes until he was completely motionless. "Holy crap, this guy is really tough to deal with. Luckily, we awakened our bloodlines, otherwise we'd be in real trouble!"
Although the ninth-tier magical beast, the Qilin, had been completely slain, everyone was exhausted and panting heavily. Looking at the enormous creature before them, they felt a powerful shock.
Because they had never dared to imagine that they could easily kill monsters of level 9 or higher, but now that they had actually done it, they could hardly believe that what they were seeing was real, and thought they were dreaming.
"What are you all waiting for? Now that we've killed this demonic beast, its demon core must be even more powerful. Why don't we take it out quickly?"
Although Liu Ziming hadn't expected these people to be able to work together to kill the ninth-tier magical beast, the Qilin, he immediately issued a warning: if they didn't quickly extract the creature's demon core, it might be completely refined by the creature.
After Liu Ziming's reminder, everyone realized that they had gone to great lengths to kill this guy, and if his demon core were to be refined by him, it would be a huge waste. "Hehe, watch me! I don't believe this guy has such thick skin; I can't tear his skin open with my claws!"
Because the old Flame Dragon had awakened its ancient ancestral dragon bloodline, it appeared particularly arrogant, extending its sharp claws and instantly tearing a large gash in the skin of the Qilin. "Holy crap, old man, what are you doing? This is too cruel!"
The giant ape elder watched as the fire dragon used its sharp claws to ruthlessly slice open the skin of the four-legged creature, revealing a huge demon core the size of a ball, radiating a dazzling light that made everyone's hearts flutter.
"My God, this thing's demon core is this big! Have we really found a treasure?"
Without any hesitation, the dragon head grabbed the enormous demon core and held it in both hands, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world, showing great affection for it.
However, he also knew that this guy was killed by everyone working together, and he absolutely couldn't keep the demon core for himself. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to stay in this team in the future. "Hehe, don't worry everyone, I just think this guy's demon core is too big. I definitely won't enjoy it all by myself. This demon core is shared by everyone, 203?"
Hearing what the Flame Dragon Elder said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If this guy really wanted to keep it for himself, they really couldn't afford to break ties. It was really not worth it for a ninth-tier magical beast's core.
"Liu Ziming, do you feel that the space seems to be displaced, even if it's just a slight sensation?"
Everyone was extremely interested in the demon core of the Qilin, except for Yuebai, who seemed to have no interest in it whatsoever.
Seeing the Moon White Maiden's warning, Liu Ziming had also sensed it; the slight sense of dislocation made his heart pound. "Indeed, there was a spatial dislocation, but it's not serious. How did you sense it?"
Liu Ziming couldn't understand how Yuebai, whose strength didn't seem that high, could so easily sense the distorted space. Could it be due to his bloodline?
Upon hearing Liu Ziming ask him that question, Yuebai's face instantly showed a particularly embarrassed expression.
Ever since Yuebai absorbed Liu Ziming's blood, he had a strange feeling that he and Liu Ziming were completely bound together.
Chapter 371 Family Ties as Thin as Paper
"Don't you know what's going on yourself? Why are you asking me? You're really annoying."
