Zhang Ruochen walked to the edge of a cliff and closed his eyes to release spiritual power to his surroundings.

“This pervert’s spiritual power is exceptionally strong,” Li Min muttered to herself.

She was standing not far away from him, and felt his energetic mental vibration which caught her by surprise.

She stared at him in disbelief. His spiritual power was the same level as Li Min’s forefather.

Perhaps he’s a half-saint of spiritual power?

A few minutes later, Zhang Ruochen withdrew his power after summoning Elephant-swallowing Rabbit, Monster ape, and Blackie.

His face was grave, “To the northwest of here is the den of a Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant. It’s a cave hidden behind a mountain, about 400 miles away.”

“It’s only a sixth level lower grade beast. I’ll have it for lunch!” Elephant-swallowing Rabbit snorted.

Elephant-swallowing Rabbit’s cultivation was equivalent to a level three half-saint, a strength that could defeat any sixth level or lower-grade beasts. Therefore, hunting down the Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant was like a piece of cake to the rabbit.

“Did I ask you to eat it?” Zhang Ruochen asked sarcastically.

“Not eating it?” Elephant-swallowing Rabbit was confused by his reply.

“I need it alive. Kill it only if it tries to escape. What I need most is its blood.”

“I see.” Elephant-swallowing Rabbit nodded its gigantic head.

Zhang Ruochen continued, “A lone Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant is not difficult to catch. The key is to complete the task in the shortest time possible, before alerting other beasts in the forest. If we awaken any that are more powerful than the Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant, we’ll be in trouble.”

“Is there any creature that is more powerful than the elephant?” Blackie asked.

“We wouldn’t know. It’s always better to be more careful. Now, do not wake our target up until night time, when it comes out to absorb energy from the moon.” Zhang Ruochen answered.

“Master Zhang, why do you summon us out at this hour if we are only making the move tonight?” Elephant-swallowing Rabbit asked.

Zhang Ruochen answered with a smiling face, “Many brute elephants can be found in this Ancient Forest. Since we are here already, why don’t we make use of it – catch some and store them in the Scroll World?”

Brute elephants had significant tactical value in war.

Having a brute elephant in war was equivalent to controlling a warrior from the Heavenly Realm. Having ten or even a hundred thousand brute elephants would mean building a mighty army of his own.

Elephant-swallowing Rabbit, Monster Ape and Blackie were powerful beasts, it would be an easy task for them to catch the brute elephants.

Blackie was the fastest. It defeated the alpha and captured nearly ten thousand of them into the Scroll World.

Elephant-swallowing Rabbit and Monster Ape managed to hunt down a few hundred each time, with their own techniques.

By the end of the day, all the brute elephants within a thousand miles were taken to the Scroll World, becoming the first beast pack ever to live in the Scroll World.

Night had finally fallen.

A crescent moon was seen hanging in the sky, getting brighter as the sky turned darker.

Blackie, Elephant-swallowing Rabbit and Monster Ape stopped hunting and went over to look for Zhang Ruochen, preparing for the big catch of the night.

During the day, Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant would be asleep. It would only be active at night to absorb the moon light energy, which was beneficial for its cultivation.

Not long after the wait, a deep groan was heard from the ground below.

The lumbering beast walked out of its cave. Its massive body was about 50 meters long, covered in palm-sized silver scales. On top of its wolf-like body was a dragon’s neck and head, along with jade white antlers.

It gave out a powerful blast of breath that violently rumbled through the surrounding hills and the ground beneath.

By this time, Li Min was stunned, gape-mouthed. The beast used to be a myth that she would only read about in books. Not anymore.

The blasting wind of the beast’s powerful lungs had her trembling the whole time, which made her doubt Zhang Ruochen even more. Would he be able to tame the beast?

Zhang Ruochen stared at his prey, frowning. Something was not right.

The beast standing in front of them was at least double the size of his expectation. Even the vibrating echo of its breath was so heavy, deep and powerful, it was much stronger than what was written in the books.

A typical Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant had the battle skill equivalent to a level three half-saint. This one, however, was far more than that.

From the look of it, it would be impossible to catch it alive. They could only do their best to kill it.

Using Spatial Move technique, Zhang Ruochen spontaneously appeared before its eyes without warning.

“Go to hell.”

Inscriptions came floating out of the Abyss Ancient Sword and unleashed its power as a saint weapon while he brandished the sword towards the beast’s neck.

He was so fast, one could tell he wanted to finish the beast off in in a single strike.

Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant sensed the incoming danger and shrunk into the size of a cattle in a form of self-defensive mechanism.

The blade of the Abyss Ancient Sword brushed against the nape of its neck and hit on the ground hard with a piercing crashing noise. The vigorous sword Qi condensed into a long beam that split the hill behind the beast in half.

While the beast reacted quickly enough to avoid the fatal attack, the sword beam cut a deep wound across its neck.

The beast was, of course, infuriated by the ambush.

“ARH-WOOOOOOOOO!”

It let out a long howl, somewhat similar to a wolf’s.

The cattle-sized body then expanded back to its original size, its belly glowing in silver light as it inhaled deeply. A silver light beam then projected out from its mouth, aiming at Zhang Ruochen.

“This should be a mutated Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant. Its strength is almost comparable to a sixth level middle grade beast.”

Zhang Ruochen had no intention of finding out the beast’s actual strength. He outpaced the incoming silver beam, bending over it neatly and slipping under its head.

“Sword One.”

The Abyss Ancient Sword flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s grip and shoved into its skull. Blood burst forth, leaving a wound roughly the size of a plate.

The beast moaned in pain and tried to run away from the attacker.

That head strike made it realize how powerful the attacker was. The beast knew it would be a dead end if it didn’t escape.

Monster Ape let out a thunderous roar, and its body started radiating dark energy as it sprang out of the bush, prowling for its prey.

The Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant turned toward another direction immediately as soon as it realized the path was obstructed by Monster Ape.

Little did it know that Blackie was already waiting for it at the other end.

And finally when Zhang Ruochen got there, he lifted his hands up and chopped its head off.

After witnessing how fearless Zhang Ruochen was during the hunt, Li Min finally realized how powerful he was. No wonder the ministry sent the ten elites to hunt him down. He’s too powerful, so sickeningly powerful....

Her attitude towards Zhang Ruochen had changed, without her realizing it happened.

He had been only a pervert who stalked young ladies, but now he was a powerful murderous monster.

Zhang Ruochen was only a few years older than her, but his strength was far beyond hers. What else could he be if not a monster?

“Who dares intrude into Warbeast Training Site of Ministry of War to hunt for Silver Moon Dragon-Elephant?” A deep voice echoed through the mountain solitudes from the east.

Then, the sky was covered under a cloak of menacingly dark clouds that swarmed over.

There was a man in armor standing amidst the dark clouds.

“Warbeast Training Site?”

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment then realized what the man in armor meant.

The Ancient Forest of the Elephant King took up half an area of Thousand-elephant County, and was densely populated with brute elephants. Such territories would never be ungoverned.

It was the Warbeast Training Site of the ministry. All the brute elephants were either trained as warbeasts or mounts.

Blaming Li Min was not necessary. After all, the source of her information was the books. She had no idea about the truth of the ancient forest.

Zhang Ruochen tilted his head to look in the direction where the man in armor stood.

Two deity prints appeared in his eyes and transformed both his eyes into the Eye of Deity Print, so that he could see past the cloaking clouds and find out who the half-saint from the ministry was.

Meanwhile, the half-saint managed to see Zhang Ruochen clearly. Words blurted out his mouth in shock, “Zhang Ruochen?”

He took out the Octagon Mirror and stared into the mirror to see the changes in the reflection.

As expected, the reflection showed the young man standing on the ground, indicating he was Zhang Ruochen.

“You have ignored the path leading towards heaven and chose to break into the hell that has no door. Zhang Ruochen, this is your choice. Since you have chosen hell, you shall not leave!” The half-saint laughed obnoxiously. Clearly he was excited about Zhang Ruochen’s intrusion.

To arrest the most wanted fugitive would be highly appreciated by the Empress.

The half-saint in armor was called “King Thousand-elephant.” He was the magistrate of Thousand-elephant County, and also the commander-in-chief of the Warbeast Training Site. There was not doubt that he was very powerful.
