Chapter 220: Chapter 107: Ninth-Grade Demon King of Taihang Mountain! Thunder Essence Fruit Tree

The Mosquito Avatar’s workload was immense.

In the Taihang Mountain Range, the night was as black as ink.

The Mosquito Avatar was like a highly efficient Ghost hunter, speeding silently through the depths of the dense forest.

With its Level 10 Tracking skill fully active, every lifeform fluctuating with Qi and Blood within a twenty-kilometer radius, regardless of size or strength, appeared like a beacon in the night, clearly marked on its perceptual map.

’Found one!’

Soon, he locked onto a Demon Beast drinking from a nearby stream.

It was a giant deer with a powerful build and a pair of sharp, bony horns, exuding the aura of a First Grade.

The Mosquito Avatar instantly accelerated, transforming into an invisible streak of light as it silently dove down.

Its sharp proboscis precisely pierced the softer part of the giant deer’s neck, and a terrifying suction force was unleashed!

GLUG... GLUG...

The surging Qi and Blood of the First Grade Demon Beast were drained with furious intensity, like a river bursting its banks.

The giant deer only managed a short, mournful cry before its powerful body shriveled at a visible rate. Its fur lost its sheen, and the light in its eyes quickly faded.

In a matter of moments, it was reduced to a stiff, desiccated corpse.

Pure and immense Qi and Blood Energy surged across space, flooding into Lin Yi’s physical body.

His depleted Qi and Blood were rapidly replenished, swelling within him. A warm current spread through his limbs, sweeping away all his fatigue.

’Again!’

Lin Yi directed the Mosquito Avatar, which continued without pause, pouncing on the next target marked on its Tracking map.

An iron-armored lizard lurking in a rock crevice, a night-owl Demon Beast resting in the treetops...

One after another, they became fodder for the avatar, converted into pure Qi and Blood sustenance.

The Bone Tempering continued!

Guided by his will, a massive amount of Qi and Blood launched a final assault on the remaining bones of his lower limbs.

Amidst the Refinement, his bones emitted a subtle yet tenacious hum, their lustrous sheen growing ever brighter.

Just as the Mosquito Avatar finished draining a third First Grade Demon Beast and was preparing to find its next target, its Tracking skill once again scanned a deep and secluded mountain valley—

Suddenly, in the vision shared with Lin Yi, several exceptionally glaring markers appeared on the Tracking map, their energy fluctuations far beyond the ordinary!

’Huh?!’

Back in his dorm, Lin Yi’s physical body shot bolt upright on the sofa, his eyes flashing with utter shock!

’Holy shit! What... is that?!’

...

On the cold Tracking map, points of light flickered.

However, what completely captivated Lin Yi’s attention were the behemoths that had suddenly appeared at the edge of the map.

Those points of light were far larger than any he had seen before, their brightness so piercing it seemed to steal one’s soul, like a cluster of miniature suns.

The energy fluctuations they emitted were far stronger, even surpassing those of the Fifth Grade Corpse General he had encountered before!

’High-grade Demon Beasts!’

Lin Yi’s heart sank, and a chill shot straight up his spine.

’Could it be... the Demon Kings who rule the depths of Taihang Mountain?’

His pupils constricted, and he subconsciously held his breath.

The Taihang Mountain Range stretched for thousands of miles, like a coiled dragon.

Ancient trees towered within its expanse, miasma filled the air, and no one knew how many ferocious Demon Beasts it had nurtured.

Within this vast mountain range, terrifyingly powerful beings had naturally emerged—entities that lorded over all other demons.

Demon Kings!

Any beast whose strength reached the Seventh Grade could bear the title of "Demon King"!

’One, two, three, four, five...’

Lin Yi stared at the Tracking map, silently counting the terrifying points of light.

Five!

A full five of them!

Five great Demon Kings, all gathered in one place!

A powerful sense of unease instantly gripped him.

The fierce territoriality of the Demon Race was common knowledge.

Every inch of forest was contested with blood. Brutal wars erupting between Demon Kings of different clans over territory were commonplace; peaceful coexistence was out of the question.

Yet now, these five Demon Kings, who represented the pinnacle of power in Taihang Mountain, had bizarrely gathered together!

This was too abnormal!

It defied all logic!

When something is this abnormal, it means trouble is brewing.

There had to be an earth-shattering secret behind it all!

’Is it because the Nanjiang Military District has heavily blockaded Taihang Mountain, cutting off their path for expansion? Has that provoked the boundless fury of these Demon Kings, and are they preparing to unite and unleash a destructive Demon Beast horde to smash through human defenses?’

Lin Yi’s mind raced, and the speculation sent a chill down his spine.

With the tide of Spiritual Qi’s resurgence sweeping across Blue Star, the Demon Race hadn’t just seen an explosive growth in numbers; their intelligence was also steadily increasing. They were no longer ignorant beasts.

However, the entirety of Blue Star remained firmly in human hands.

The living space left for the Demon Race was extremely compressed.

In the struggle for resources and the right to exist, attacks by the Demon Race on human strongholds had become increasingly common in recent years.

’Or perhaps...’

Another, more tempting thought arose. ’Has some earth-shattering treasure appeared in the depths of Taihang Mountain? Were all five Demon Kings drawn here by its aura, and are now fighting to claim it?’

Lin Yi couldn’t be sure which guess was closer to the truth.

But either possibility would be an earth-shattering event!

’I have to go take a look.’

’If it’s the former, with the Demon Kings plotting an attack on humanity, I can use the Mosquito Avatar’s stealth abilities to infiltrate and gather firsthand intelligence. That information would be priceless!’

’If it’s the latter... a great treasure has emerged!’

’With the Mosquito Avatar’s current stealth, it might not be impossible to snatch something from right under the noses of those terrifying beings—to pull the teeth from the tiger’s mouth and seize an opportunity for myself!’

At this thought, a sharp light flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes. All hesitation vanished!

With a single thought, the Mosquito Avatar sprang into action.

Its transparent wings vibrated at a high frequency, leaving an imperceptible ripple in the air. Like a Ghost melting into the void, it shot toward the valley where the five glowing energy signatures of the Demon Kings converged on the map!
