Chapter 512: Chapter 46: Hunting a Seventh Tier Demon Beast, Obtaining the Wild Bull Demon Bones

A moment later.

Yue Saint tossed a piece of pale golden flesh essence to Lin Chen.

This is the flesh essence of the Demon Celestial Lion.

Even though the Demon Celestial Lion is strong among sixth-tier demon beasts, it had no chance to resist against Yue at the Martial Saint Peak.

"The flesh essence of a sixth-tier demon beast is somewhat beneficial for your cultivation. Cook this meat to enjoy it when you have the chance?"

Yue Saint said casually.

Then he asked:

"Hunting this Demon Celestial Lion was just a small trial. Bringing you here... have you gained any insights?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and replied:

"Before hunting demon beasts, it is imperative to anticipate their characteristics. One must be cautious during the hunt and understand the habits of the demon beasts."

"Besides that, the abilities that the demon beasts specialize in..."

Lin Chen spoke at length, leaving Yue Saint somewhat surprised.

After a period of silence, Yue Saint patted Lin Chen’s shoulder and said:

"It’s excellent that you can think of these things, but what I want to convey is not about this..."

"The intelligence on demon beasts is naturally investigated by dedicated personnel. What we actually need to do is only one thing."

"Fight if you can, flee if you can’t!"

Pausing for a moment, Yue Saint shared his experience with Lin Chen.

"In this First Martial Realm, there are many seventh-tier demon beasts, and some of them even pose a challenge to me."

"As for demon beasts below the seventh tier, you can handle them without worry if you confirm the beast is alone."

"As for seventh-tier demon beasts, I will give you a list. Some are manageable for you, others... run when you see them."

"Additionally, if you ever encounter an eighth-tier demon beast, don’t hesitate for a moment—turn and flee!"

"Eighth-tier demon beasts are the dominant force in this First Martial Realm, but rarely leave their territories. As long as you escape their habitats before a confrontation, your life will not be at risk."

Yue Saint shared his extensive experience accumulated over years in the First Martial Realm.

Lin Chen humbly accepted all he heard.

The advice might seem crude but it’s practical. Listening to Yue, who has been the garrison commander here for a thousand years, surely can’t be wrong.

"Actually, the entire First Martial Realm is relatively peaceful."

"The reason for our guarding duties is solely because of the beast tide happening once every decade!"

"Every ten years, demon beasts in the First Martial Realm gather en masse, leaving their territories and may potentially threaten the exit of the First Martial Realm."

"Imagine thousands of high-tier demon beasts breaching the First Martial Realm, entering Blue Star—what kind of disaster would that be for the Human Race?"

"Certainly, demon beasts in the First Martial Realm won’t proactively charge through the exit, but accidents happen. Historically, there have been three instances..."

"Two were contained, the other happened eight hundred years ago when tens of thousands of high-tier demon beasts breached the First Martial Realm and invaded Great Xia Country..."

"This led to the death of billions of civilians and halved the territory of Great Xia."

"The wilderness surrounding Great Xia now was caused by those high-tier demon beasts..."

Lin Chen listened in awe and fear.

No wonder Yue must guard the First Martial Realm.

Even a few hundred demon beasts breaching Blue Star would be catastrophic for the Human Race.

Martial Artists below the Martial King level, almost powerless to resist.

"Additionally, our demon beast hunts also aim to prevent the overbreeding of certain demon beast species."

"Over the years, the demon beasts in the First Martial Realm have constituted an ecosystem, even seventh-tier beasts have natural enemies."

"Should a group of demon beasts grow too strong, it could overwhelm the entire First Martial Realm."

"Take the Demon Celestial Lions for instance... a thousand years ago, there were only about three hundred of these sixth-tier demon beasts in the First Martial Realm."

"But now, their numbers are nearing six thousand... with one-third reaching the benchmark of sixth-tier demon beast standards."

Yue shared more intelligence on the First Martial Realm.

"There are many similar intelligence reports, you can visit the logistics headquarters to see them when you have time."

"By the way, you came here to trace the Wild Bull Demon, didn’t you?"

Yue Saint asked.

Lin Chen nodded in response, "Yes, my Bone Refining Realm cultivation has slowed down. I heard the bones of Wild Bull Demons are greatly beneficial for Bone Refining Realm cultivation..."

Yue Saint sighed, "It’s not been long since you’ve reached the Martial Saint Third Realm? Truly impressive... you may surpass me in reaching the Martial God Realm sooner."

"The bones of Wild Bull Demons are indeed extremely beneficial for bone refining... unfortunately, sixth-tier Wild Bull Demons offer limited benefit, it’s best to find seventh-tier ones for remarkable effect."

"Only... seventh-tier Wild Bull Demons haven’t been seen for quite some time now..."

Yue Saint thought for a moment and said:

"Wild Bull Demons typically group together, residing in the Wild Bull Grassland in the northwest of the First Martial Realm..."

"Let’s do this, I’ll send some personnel to scout for any seventh-tier Wild Bull Demons now."

"If there are any, I’ll personally take you there to hunt one, how’s that?"

Lin Chen naturally agreed with pleasure.

Thus, over the following months, Lin Chen operated within the First Martial Realm.

Occasionally hunting demon beasts with Yue Saint, Lin Chen spent more time reading various intelligence reports on demon beasts at the headquarters.

Meanwhile, logistics Martial Artists in the First Martial Realm began investigating intelligence on the Wild Bull Demons.

Unable to obtain Wild Bull Demon bones for stew for the time being, Lin Chen’s Bone Refining Realm cultivation progressed more slowly.
