The Black Wolf Leopard was a Low-level Ferocious Beast, but faster than most Intermediate-grade Ferocious Beasts.
More importantly, it had been sighted near Seaside Base, but due to its speed, even normal Elite Martial Artists couldn't catch it, so they gave up hunting it.
"Xiao Qianye Forest!"
Ye Tian read this information softly.
That was the place where Black Wolf Leopards were found.
Ye Tian wasn't very familiar with Xiao Qianye Forest—he only knew it was vast, stretching thousands of miles. The part near Seaside Base was just an end or branch.
Xiao Qianye Forest lay about eighteen kilometers west of Seaside Base, but few Martial Artists ventured inside because the outskirts lacked Ferocious Beasts and mostly contained Fierce Beasts.
Only by going deep into the forest could one encounter Ferocious Beasts, even Intermediate-grade and Advanced Ferocious Beasts—the deeper, the more dangerous.
But Ferocious Beasts rarely ventured out, so it didn't affect Seaside Base much.
"My cultivation speed has slowed. Xiao Qianye Forest is a good place for trial and progress. If I find the Black Wolf Leopard, my goal will be achieved. If not, I can copy other suitable Talents and train there a while."
Ye Tian thought.
He had long wanted to venture out. Seaside Base was small with limited resources; copying suitable Talents here was difficult and slowed his progress.
Previously, he worried about his sister. Now that she had begun training and with Mo Family threats removed, all he needed was a few bodyguards for her safety.
"Who to protect my sister?"
Ye Tian pondered.
Suddenly, he thought of Wind Wolf.
Wind Wolf was captain of the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad, a team mainly responsible for maintaining base security. Their strength was decent, capable of handling most problems unless Elite Martial Artists intervened.
Besides, Ye Tian didn't need constant protection for Ye Yu, just some covert security, ready to assist if trouble arose.
Wind Wolf's team had many members; sending a couple of Martial Artists would suffice.
A small matter.
Ye Tian personally met Wind Wolf and offered about ten portions of Intermediate-grade Ferocious Beast Blood as payment.
Wind Wolf readily agreed.
Xiao Qianye Forest.
Ye Tian arrived and immediately saw towering ancient trees dozens to hundreds of meters tall, each with trunks two to four meters thick.
After hundreds of meters, he confirmed the information: no Ferocious Beasts near the edge, only Fierce Beasts.
It seemed Xiao Qianye Forest had a strict hierarchy—Fierce Beasts lived on the outskirts, Ferocious Beasts inside, and they didn't invade each other's zones.
This was just a hypothesis, unconfirmed.
After running several miles through countless giant trees, Ye Tian finally saw some Ferocious Beasts and stopped.
He had entered their territory and needed caution.
Occasionally, Advanced Ferocious Beasts appeared—some powerful and some with special Talents. None were within his ability to provoke.
For days, Ye Tian searched for Black Wolf Leopards but found none, instead killing several Intermediate-grade Ferocious Beasts and collecting their blood—enough for a while.
"If only I had a talent to sense a large area, I might find Black Wolf Leopard quickly!"
Ye Tian fantasized.
Walking on, Ye Tian spotted prints like those of leopards or wolves—a whole pack.
"Black Wolf Leopards look like wolves but are actually a kind of leopard. Their claw marks match the prints. Maybe it's a Black Wolf Leopard pack!" Ye Tian guessed.
Regardless of the truth, he had to check.
He activated triple speed and followed the claw marks for several miles.
Suddenly, he sensed a strong Yuan Force fluctuation.
"Battle ahead!"
Ye Tian's expression turned serious.
Here, it was unlikely to be humans—only Ferocious Beasts fought each other.
Beast clans often fought; even humans, as a single species, had internal strife.
After moving several hundred meters, sounds of battle grew louder with strange cries.
"That is…"
Ye Tian saw a flat area where many giant trees had been knocked down.
About a thousand Black Wolf Leopards surrounded a giant gorilla, but the gorilla held the advantage.
"An Advanced Ferocious Beast—and not an ordinary one—its power rivals a peak Great Martial Artist!"
Ye Tian didn't dare reveal his presence, concealing himself with Shadow Talent, merging into the shadow of the giant trees.
The gorilla's strength was similar to the Great Martial Artist Qing Lao he had seen before, much stronger than himself. He was no match.
His speed was inferior; if he fought the gorilla, he couldn't escape, and Shadow Talent couldn't hide him from an Advanced Ferocious Beast. He could only rely on his Top Healing Talent to survive.
If he couldn't escape and was continuously beaten, he might be killed.
"Gorilla—do not provoke!"
Ye Tian stopped focusing on the gorilla and looked at the Black Wolf Leopards instead.
These were his targets, but their situation was dire—hundreds had died, yet the pack still pressed the attack, fearless of death.
"Ah, these Black Wolf Leopards lack intelligence. If they can't win, they should retreat, not fight to the death!"
Ye Tian shook his head, thinking them reckless.
Suddenly, Ye Tian's gaze locked onto a golden Black Wolf Leopard.
No, it should be called a Golden Wolf Leopard—it was covered in gold, looking noble in bloodline.
Indeed, it was high-born—an Intermediate-grade Ferocious Beast whose speed exceeded the gorilla's, evading capture, though unable to break the gorilla's defense.
"Hiss, this Golden Wolf Leopard's Speed Talent must be higher than normal Black Wolf Leopards, or it wouldn't be so extraordinary—Intermediate-grade Ferocious Beast speed faster than a peak Advanced Ferocious Beast gorilla! Unbelievable. Could it be High-grade Speed Talent?"
Thinking this, Ye Tian's breath quickened.
If he could obtain this Talent, his strength would skyrocket!
