Cultivation Pet Shop

As the tentacles swung down, the eyes at the ends of them turned to stare right at Lin Fan and Angela.

When the eyes locked onto Lin Fan and Angela, they felt a strange slowness that came over them. As well, there was a strange numb feeling that filled their limbs.

This beast was called an Eye Monster, it was a special type of monster that didn't belong to this kind of environment. This Eye Monster was a monster that normally lived in an abyss environment, since it was a monster that was considered a demon type monster.

The reason why it was called an Eye Monster was clearly because of all the various eyes that it had along its tentacles. But there was also another reason why it was called Eye Monster.

These eyes all had the ability to imbue a special effect on whatever they were looking at. In terms of video games, these eyes had the ability to debuff enemies with status ailments which weakened the prey of the Eye Monster.

That slowness that came over them was the slowing effect of one of the Eye Monster's eyes and the numbness was a paralyzing effect. However, of course the Eye Monster couldn't do much to the two of them since there was a large difference in cultivation since the Eye Monster was only in the Gold Realm.

The two of them had suppressed their cultivations as they were walking along since they were enjoying the scenery of nature and making sure they weren't scaring off any wildlife, but they never thought that this beast would be dumb enough to target them.

Angela reacted immediately and jumped back to avoid the Eye Monster's tentacles swinging down at them.

Since the two of them were still holding hands, Angela had also pulled Lin Fan along with her. So instead of looking like a couple jumping back in sync, since Angela was much stronger than Lin Fan, it looked like Angela was dragging Lin Fan like a doll as she jumped away from the attack, but there was nothing that Lin Fan could do other than going limp.

After landing, she placed Lin Fan on the ground before drawing her hand back.

Normally Angela would ignore situations like this, but when she looked at this Eye Monster, she didn't know why she felt annoyed whenever she looked at it.

Perhaps it was because of how disgusting it looked or perhaps it was because it disrupted the nice atmosphere that they had, but it looked annoying whenever she looked at it.

Before Lin Fan could even react, he felt the flow of wind as it gathered inside Angela's hand, forming a little spiral of wind. Then she suddenly pushed her hand out and there were thousands of wind blades that flew out, cutting the various tentacles of the Eye Monster's body.

The Eye Monster's one single eye on its main body was opened wide as its blood spilled all over the ground from its various tentacles being severed from its body. Those tentacles fell to the ground and twitched a few times before the eyes dilated, while the pupils constricted.

As more and more wind blades flew out, more and more of the Eye Monster's tentacles were cut off from its body.

The Eye Monster tried to regenerate the tentacles as they were being chopped off from its body, but the wind blades never stopped coming and they kept chopping off more and more tentacles before they could even regenerate.

Finally the Eye Monster couldn't keep up anymore and stopped trying to regenerate as it focused all its energy into a single tentacle which it tried to use as a shield. However, Angela didn't give it a chance to escape as she shot out one final wind blade that cut right through the tentacle and severed the one main eye of the Eye Monster.

Once the eyeball dropped to the ground, the main body of the Eye Monster slumped as the main eyeball dilated and the pupils constricted.

All of this only took a few seconds, but that flurry of wind blades had been an attack that the Eye Monster just could not handle.

Lin Fan didn't know what to say when he saw this, he didn't even know why Angela looked so angry.

Angela didn't just stop there. She walked over to the corpse of the Eye Monster and stomped down on the eyeball on the ground, crushing it completely. Only then did her rage subside a bit, but she was still filled with anger for some reason.

Lin Fan moved past her and gathered up the corpse of the Eye Monster.

This was a corpse that he would have to bring back to the base camp later for them to study since this was a beast that wasn't native to this environment. Though he was sure that it would be hard for them to study with how many pieces Angela had chopped it into with her wind blades.

When Lin Fan finished gathering everything in his storage, Angela had calmed down and came back to his side. It was clear that with the way she looked, she wanted to keep walking, but Lin Fan revealed an awkward look.

While he had been collecting the pieces of the Eye Monster, Brainy had advised him that it had found another beast that wasn't native to this environment. Lin Fan had been planning to head over as soon as he was done collecting the corpse of the Eye Monster, but now Angela wanted to keep walking.

"Um, Brainy found another beast and I was thinking that we should head over there." Lin Fan hesitantly said.

Angela slightly knit her brows at this and Lin Fan could tell that this was getting dangerous for him.

But before Angela could raise her hand, Lin Fan reached out his hand and said, "How about we fly there together?"

Angela looked at his outstretched hand and after looking surprised for a bit, there was a blush that came over her face as her brows unfurrowed and she took his hand with a slight nod.

Compared to back in the Trial Realm, Lin Fan now had control over wind laws, so he had gained the ability to fly. Actually, even without wind laws, Lin Fan was somehow able to fly with just his life energy which should have been only possible after one reached the Legendary Realm.

Lin Fan hadn't been able to do this before, but during his cultivation recently, he had finished condensing half of his second sun in his dantian. When that happened, there was a strange energy that had been released from the suns that had transformed his life energy.

The life energy that he now had was much more transparent, almost like the life energy that one would have once they reached the Legendary Realm.

Lin Fan didn't understand why this was happening, but Momonga had told him that there was something inside his body that was purifying his life energy and that was why it became like this.

But after he described what happened to Momonga, Momonga said that he had never heard of such a cultivation technique before. The only thing he said was that since this was a God Tier Cultivation Technique, there must be something special about it and that was why it purified his life energy.

There was no point in thinking this through, so Lin Fan just stopped worrying about it.

The two of them flew through the air holding hands, looking like an immortal couple like Lin Fan had read about in novels back on earth. Lin Fan had even thought about using his life energy to control a sword, just so he could ride it like a sword cultivator.

The two of them flew above the trees for several minutes before they came to a cliff that led into a deep abyss.

According to Brainy's parasites, this was where it had last seen the beast.

Looking down into the abyss, the two of them found that there were thousands of holes that were made in the wall of the cliff, like there was a colony living inside.

According to Brainy's reports, this was a beast that was like an ant, but it was the size of a rhino and had sharp piercing jaw mandibles.

If Lin Fan's guesses were correctly, these should have been Desert Horrors.

The reason why Desert Horrors got their name was because they lived in the desert and they were like antlions, creating sandpits that trapped their prey and drawing them in. When one found that they were stuck in a sandpit, they faced the horror of the Desert Horror that owned it.

But this situation was strange since normally antlions formed traps in the sand, but now that they were in an environment that didn't have sand, they were forming colonies in tunnels just like normal ants.

Could it be that when beasts were put in an environment that was different from their own, they would adapt accordingly to how similar beasts in that environment survived?

Did it naturally come from the knowledge in their bloodline or was there another reason?

Lin Fan moved closer to take a peek at the series of tunnels on the side of the cliff, but the moment he came to the edge of the cliff, the ground under him collapsed. What appeared under him was the open mandibles of a Desert Horror, waiting for him to fall into its grasps.

It seemed like these Desert Horrors didn't completely adapt, they still used the same hunting method. That could be seen by the uneven curves into the cliff that were around him, it seemed like there had already been other victims.
