Chapter 52: Two Ruler-Class Fierce Beasts!

Ye Chuyun looked at the attribute panel with burning eyes.

Following this faction battle, his combat power had directly surged by over 1,000 points.

If he could experience a few more battles like this, wouldn't he soar into the sky?

Moreover, his talent also provided attribute bonuses, though these had not been factored into his official combat power rating.

If the talent bonuses were included, his combat power could even break through the 7,000 threshold!

Not bad at all!

The harvest this time was immense!

Ye Chuyun swept away his previously gloomy mood, and a wave of elation washed over him.

Initially, he had only hoped for his mental power to break through 500.

Now, if his mental power bonuses from talents were included, it had already broken past the grand milestone of 900.

He wasn't entirely certain what kind of class he would obtain after reaching level 10.

It was entirely possible that he would acquire a class even more formidable than the [Qi Practitioner].

At this thought, Ye Chuyun felt an impatient eagerness to reach level 10 as soon as possible.

He certainly hadn't forgotten that reaching level 10 would reward him with a Golden Treasure Chest!

This was a tier higher than the Silver Treasure Chest.

It was guaranteed to drop at least Tier 5 equipment!

He had temporarily stored the Silver Treasure Chest in his storage space.

He wasn't in any rush to open it anyway; wouldn't it be even more satisfying to hoard four Silver Treasure Chests and synthesize them into a Golden Treasure Chest?

Having dealt with these matters, Ye Chuyun surveyed the surroundings of the valley.

At this moment, corpses littered the valley floor; the stunning scenery from when he had first entered was completely gone.

As a result, he had gained over 60,000 energy points, leaving him just 3,000 short of leveling up.

By now, the sun was sinking in the west.

The time had reached three o'clock in the afternoon.

In just a few hours, the double energy acquisition buff would expire.

"I need to set off immediately!"

Seeing this, Ye Chuyun quickly strode toward the deepest recesses of the valley.

Strangely enough, he didn't encounter a single ferocious beast along the way.

All he found were scattered remains of beasts everywhere.

There were bones of low-level beasts such as Green-Clawed Beasts, Stone Apes, Sightless Snakes, and Shadow Wolves.

Even the skeletons of colorful finches and man-eating flower demons were scattered among them.

It seemed that the chieftain-tier and king-tier beasts lurking in the deepest depths were extremely territorial.

Anything that dared to trespass into their territory—whether of the same species or a different one—would likely meet its end.

Ye Chuyun only felt a slight sense of regret.

Since he was merely 3,000 energy points away from leveling up, who would have thought he wouldn't run into a single beast along this entire path?

It was genuinely frustrating.

A few minutes later, Ye Chuyun finally reached the innermost depths of the valley and raised his head to gaze into the distance.

A fragrance of flowers, a hundred times richer than that at the outer edges of the valley, rushed into his nostrils.

The sight before him was breathtaking.

A colossal red man-eating flower stood tall before him, towering over several tens of meters in height.

Its petals resembled a gigantic blood-red tongue, emanating a suffocating floral aroma.

Sharp teeth lined the edges of the petals, glinting with a chilling, cold light that made one's hair stand on end.

"Screech!"

A massive golden shadow, measuring as long as six zhang, circled high in the air, catching Ye Chuyun's attention.

Ye Chuyun narrowed his eyes and immediately discerned the true form of the dark shadow.

It was actually a golden-feathered sparrow covered entirely in golden plumage!

The golden-winged sparrow soared with wings outspread, its entire body draped in a layer of dazzling, golden radiance.

Row upon row of golden feathers tightly concealed its torso. Its body was slightly smaller than the red man-eating flower, but it was not a creature to be underestimated.

"Screech!"

The golden-winged sparrow let out a deep, powerful cry, its sharp eyes locked intently onto Ye Chuyun.

With a sudden dive, it landed right beside the red man-eating flower.

Its pair of golden wings abruptly folded, pressing tightly against its back.

"Screech?"

Tilting its head, it looked at Ye Chuyun as if viewing a mere toy.

Seemingly catching the scent of a living human, the pistil of the red man-eating flower parted wide, revealing a throat lined with barbed thorns.

It was as dark as an abyss.

A gurgling sound echoed from deep within, as though some malevolent power was awakening inside it.

Ye Chuyun remained entirely unfazed, looking at them with a calm expression.

A jolt ran through Ye Chuyun's heart.

What the hell? Where were the chieftain-tier beasts?

This jumped straight to two king-tier beasts?

Furthermore, the Golden Sparrow King's status seemed rather abnormal; why did it display as "Controlled"?

Who was controlling it?

Ye Chuyun figured it out quickly.

Most likely, it was being controlled by this Man-Eating Flower Demon King.

This Man-Eating Flower Demon King possessed an exclusive skill: Mind Control.

It was safe to assume it had used this skill to subjugate the Golden Sparrow King.

After all, the man-eating flower race possessed a "fatal flaw."

That was their complete inability to move.

They were destined to remain in a single spot for the rest of their lives.

The Man-Eating Flower Demon King must have controlled the Golden Sparrow King simply to secure a reliable enforcer.

No wonder he had felt so puzzled in his past life.

How could two beasts of entirely different species coexist so harmoniously within this valley?

It turned out to be because the Golden Sparrow King was under mind control.

This Man-Eating Flower Demon King would likely prove even more troublesome than the Golden Sparrow King!

Its mental power was simply too formidable; it might even surpass the Fire Lizard King!

To think it could actually control a king-tier beast!

However, upon seeing their combat power evaluations, Ye Chuyun smiled.

Just this?

His current combat power far exceeded that of king-tier beasts.

So what if there were two of them?

Killing them would be as easy as slicing vegetables.

His own mental power reached as high as 900.

He refused to believe the Man-Eating Flower Demon King's mental power was stronger than his.

As long as the opponent's mental power did not exceed his own,

He would never fall under its control!

The moment Ye Chuyun revealed himself, he was detected by the Man-Eating Flower Demon King.

Yet, constrained by the nature of man-eating flowers, it was completely immobile.

Once this human stepped outside its attack range, there was nothing it could do to him.

It could only rely on controlling the Golden Sparrow King to eliminate this puny human!
