Chapter 113: Casually Capturing A Void Realm Demon Beast?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Ning had to admit that Feng Chengyu’s words were very enticing.
A high quality void realm secret scroll was indeed what Xu Ning cared about the most.
If everything went according to Feng Chengyu’s plan, he could obtain a void realm secret scroll in a few months.
In a few months, he was likely to be at least an inner disciple of the Yuelan Sect.
The quality of the void realm secret scroll that he could obtain was even better than what he would receive from the Source Sect.
“We must help each other with all our strength.”
Now that Xu Ning had already decided to come here, he was prepared to do what it took.
He just so happened to be involved in a family battle, and if they succeeded, this would also accelerate Xu Ning’s progress.
“Miss, what do you plan to do next?”
Auntie Wei asked.
“These two tasks must be carried out at the same time, so the people under my command must be split into two groups.”
Feng Chengyu’s plan was clear. In fact, she had already thought about it on the way back from her father’s study
“Opening up the sales channels for dan medicines, I can actually do that alone.” Feng Chengyu said, “However, in order to deal with some emergencies and for the sake of stability, I still plan to keep Uncle Song by my side.”
“As for capturing live demon beasts, Auntie Wei and Xu Ning will do it. I will allocate a hundred warriors, and you two will go together. Auntie Wei is experienced in such a task before, so she will be the leader.”
Feng Chengyu expressed her plans in a few words.
“Do you think my plan is feasible?”
Auntie Wei and Uncle Song glanced at each other, then they both nodded.
Xu Ning also had no questions, so he nodded as well.
“In that case, thank you all in advance.”
The rough plan was in place, and Feng Chengyu had a look of ambition in her eyes.
…
A few days later.
Chuanhe Mountain.
In front of a cave nest.
A black tiger that had a fierce face let out a thunderous roar.
Several people surrounded it, ready to besiege it at any moment.
The black tiger cautiously stared at the uninvited guests in front of it. It obviously wanted to kill them.
But because it sensed danger from these people, it just stood its ground.
“Are we taking action?”
One of the members asked his teammates around him.
“Stabilize it first!”
Another person said, “This demon beast is a high level mortal realm beast. We will struggle dealing with it. When Leader Xu arrives, we’ll let him deal with this black tiger!”
These people were part of the team sent by Feng Chengyu to capture the live demon beast.
They had been with Feng Haoqi’s people in Chuanhe Mountain for two days.
They had a clear division of labor during this time period.
The weaker ones were responsible for searching for demon beasts, or catching weak demon beasts.
The stronger ones were responsible for capturing even more powerful monsters.
Auntie Wei had skillfully managed the team.
“Leader Xu is here!”
They suddenly saw a figure coming from the distance.
Xu Ning was wearing a black battle outfit. There was a thick chain between his chest and back.
“Leader Xu, this demon beast is a high level mortal realm beast!”
After seeing Xu Ning come over, someone immediately explained the situation.
“Understood.”
Over the past three to four days, Xu Ning had become accustomed to fighting demon beasts.
He had also captured a high level demon beast with his own hands.
Demon beasts were different from human beings. They don’t have a cultivation system. Basically, their growth could only rely on their innate potential, or just moments of luck, such as stumbling upon spirit medicine.
Because of this, people only had a rough division of demon beasts’ strengths.
In the mortal realm, only elementary, intermediate, high, and peak level were used to divide their strengths.
This high level mortal realm demon beast’s strength was between a mortal realm seventh stage and a mortal realm eighth stage warrior.
A few people stepped aside, and Xu Ning walked straight over.
When the black tiger saw Xu Ning approaching, its biological instinct told him that this person was very dangerous.
It wanted to escape.
Xu Ning would obviously not let it escape.
Xu Ning used his Step Cloud Wave and caught up with the black tiger in an instant.
He then leaped onto its back and hammered it with both of his fists.
Xu Ning acted with precision. Although it seemed that he was punching fiercely, it would not cause much injury to the animal; it would only cause short-term minor injuries.
The black tiger was in pain. It wanted to fight back, but it was unable to move.
Seeing that the time was right, Xu Ning pulled off the chain on his body. After that, he immediately wrapped it around the black tiger’s neck.
Afterwards, Xu Ning jumped off the black tiger and tied the iron chain around the black tiger’s limbs.
Finally, Xu Ning pulled backwards and the black tiger fell on the ground.
It was tightly trapped by the chain, unable to move. It could only roar helplessly.
“Send it to the transfer team!”
After Xu Ning captured the black tiger, he instructed the hunting team nearby.
“Leader Xu is outstanding!”
After seeing Xu Ning easily capture the black tiger, all of them were amazed.
Over the past few days, Xu Ning had used his own strength to impress everyone in the hunting team.
“Our speed in capturing demon beasts is much faster than that of Fourth Young Master’s team.”
One of them said with a smile.
Since they were hired by Feng Chengyu, they all received benefits.
If they won the competition in capturing demon beasts, then Feng Chengyu would give them generous rewards.
So everyone was happy to see another high level demon beast captured.
Xu Ning didn’t make a big deal about this.
Judging from their short-term performance over the past few days, his hunting team was obviously much faster.
This was not only due to the powerful strength of Xu Ning and Auntie Wei, but also due to Auntie Wei’s delegation skills.
“Go deliver this demon beast first, I’ll go look around.”
After Xu Ning sent away the team, he walked deeper into Chuanhe Mountain.
The environment of Chuanhe Mountain was very similar to Yunze Mountains. Xu Ning felt like he had returned to the Tao Village.
When he first came to this world, he gathered medicine in the mountains to make a living.
“A spirit medicine.”
After taking two steps, Xu Ning saw a flower-shaped spirit medicine swaying in the wind on the side of the mountain.
Xu Ning quickly grabbed it.
—
3 units discovered energy, absorb?
Yes/No
—
“Yes.”
Xu Ning quickly accepted these 3 units of energy.
Over the past few days, Xu Ning’s energy harvest had reached nearly 20 points.
Although it wasn’t a ton, this kind of energy was readily available, and he wouldn’t let it go to waste.
‘Apparently, the Yuelan Sect’s demon slaying trial is in four months, but they only gave us one month to capture the demon beasts. If that’s the case, the transfer process must take a long time.’
‘I will probably have to stay in the Chuanhe Mountains for more than 20 days. By the time I leave, I might even collect 100 units of energy in total.’
With Xu Ning’s current strength, as long as he didn’t enter the core area of Chuanhe Mountain, it was difficult for creatures to pose a threat to him.
So while walking in Chuanhe Mountain, Xu Ning was not worried about his own safety.
“What?”
When Xu Ning walked past a tall tree, he suddenly heard the sound of a young beast above his head.
He looked up subconsciously.
A black shadow suddenly fell down from the tree.
Xu Ning instinctively stepped back, but he then reached out and grabbed it, only to see a small furry thing between his palms.
‘What is this?’
Xu Ning felt the little furry thing twisting its body.
Xu Ning didn’t hold it tightly, so the little thing rolled in Xu Ning’s hands.
After it was done rolling around, Xu Ning was finally able to clearly look at it.
“A kitten?”
This little thing was covered in gray hair. It looked like a kitten.
Xu Ning felt a little confused.
He was in a relatively deep area in Chuanhe Mountain, and the environment here was relatively harsh.
The rabbits and wild cats that were on the outskirts of the mountain couldn’t survive here.
“Is this really a cat?”
Xu Ning looked at the kitten carefully.
The kitten was not afraid at all. Its big blue eyes stared at Xu Ning.
It took the initiative to inch forward, sticking out its little tongue and licking Xu Ning’s nose.
‘It really does seem like a kitten.’
Xu Ning could not perceive the aura of a demon beast from the kitten.
‘Strange…’
Xu Ning wiped the kitten’s saliva off his nose.
Xu Ning pondered for a moment. He then squeezed the kitten tightly and used his Step Cloud Wave to climb up the tree.
He looked carefully around the tree, but he did not see a big cat.
It seemed like this kitten was living independently in the dense forest.
‘Whatever…’
Xu Ning was too lazy to figure it out.
He tapped the grayish-white kitten’s head. “Fortunately, you met me.”
Perhaps moved by those marble eyes, Xu Ning did not intend to leave the kitten behind.
The kitten was not big, so he could carry it in his pocket.
Xu Ning was going to raise it for a period of time before returning it to the outskirts of Chuanhe Mountain.
Xu Ning stuffed the kitten into his front shirt pocket. The kitten was very cooperative. After getting inside, it poked out its head.

It looked up and stared at Xu Ning.
It could only see Xu Ning’s chin at this angle.
After seeing the kitten, Xu Ning laughed.
Roar!
Xu Ning suddenly heard a muffled roar from a distance.
“A high level demon beast”
Xu Ning instantly knew that there was a high level mortal realm demon beast nearby.
‘It’s uncommon to encounter two high-level monsters in one day.’
For the two hunting teams competing with each other, the more high level monsters they could capture, the greater their advantages were.
With this, Xu Ning himself had gotten one step closer to a void realm secret scroll.
Almost without hesitation, Xu Ning rushed towards the direction of the beast roar.
Xu Ning concluded that the roar of the beast just now should be from a high level demon beast establishing its territory to low level demon beasts.
The stronger the demon beast, the more they preferred to live alone, and the stronger their desire for territory was.
Sure enough, after Xu Ning walked a few hundred meters, he saw a giant bear tearing apart its prey.
It must have found a meal while expelling the low-level demon beasts out of its territory.
The giant bear did not sense Xu Ning’s approach at all.
‘Its body is so big. It will be very troublesome to drag it back.’
But even so, Xu Ning did not intend to let it go.
Xu Ning lurked in the trees, hiding his aura, ready to attack.
“Purr.”
However, the kitten in Xu Ning’s pocket suddenly purred towards the giant bear.
Its voice was very soft, but as a high level demon beast, the giant bear still noticed it.
It raised its head and looked in the direction of the sound.
“You little…”
Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, Xu Ning wanted to go down the tree and prepare to capture the giant bear.
However, the kitten’s movements turned out to be much faster than Xu Ning.
Xu Ning felt something pounce against his chest. The kitten that seemed harmless suddenly turned into a silver shadow, jumping out of Xu Ning’s chest and appearing directly in front of the giant bear instantaneously.
When the giant bear saw a small thing suddenly appear in front of it, it was frightened and jumped back. It then roared with its sharp teeth, waved its giant claws, and was about to slap the kitten into meat mince.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ning saw something that shocked him.
The head of the palm-sized kitten quickly grew into several meters in diameter, like a balloon being pumped with air.
It suddenly opened its mouth, stretched its neck, and swallowed the giant bear in one bite.
Afterwards, its big head shrank, turning back to its original form.
Xu Ning was baffled.
Suddenly, he felt his body tense up.
He didn’t expect that the little thing in his hands would be so powerful.
Xu Ning only had one thought in his mind and that was to escape!
Almost without hesitation, Xu Ning reacted instantly.
He just wanted to get away from this little thing as far as possible.
It just swallowed a high level mortal realm demon beast, yet Xu Ning couldn’t sense its aura.
Xu Ning even suspected that this little thing that looked like a kitten might be a void realm demon beast!
However, Xu Ning suddenly stopped moving.
This was because the fluffy kitten was already lying on his shoulders.
Xu Ning felt his body go cold.
Xu Ning could see the kitten sticking out its tongue again and licking his face.
When the kitten previously licked him, Xu Ning thought it was playing with him.
But now, Xu Ning felt like the kitten was just getting a taste of him.
However, Xu Ning’s worries were superfluous, as the kitten didn’t seem to want to hurt him.
After licking Xu Ning’s cheek, the kitten climbed over Xu Ning’s shoulder and crawled back into Xu Ning’s chest pocket.
It poked its head out again.
Burp!
The kitten seemed to hiccup.
Xu Ning looked down and stared at the big, round blue eyes again.
Xu Ning didn’t even know what he should do next.
‘I found a void realm demon beast in the mountains?’
