After making this discovery, Peter Brown felt somewhat relieved. His biggest concern was that he would not be able to use his True Qi at all.
There was a variety of food prepared in his ring, so Peter didn’t worry about a lack of food. After making a pot of delicious vegetable dishes, Peter and the Treasure Hunting Rabbit began eating.
Suddenly, Peter’s ears perked up, and his face changed. He didn’t have time for pleasantries; he grabbed the Treasure Hunting Rabbit and looked forward.
The footsteps on the ground were heavy, and after each step, the earth trembled.
At that moment, Peter was astonished to see an enormous black bear emerging from the forest.
The black bear moved swiftly, leaving a large hole in the ground with every step it took.
Instead of approaching Peter, the black bear went towards the pot of unfinished soup.
Attracted by the Lingcao soup Peter made!
With a bitter smile, Peter remained on guard.
This was the first demon beast Peter encountered, and it looked incredibly powerful.
The black bear plunged its paw into the soup, completely unafraid of the heat. As it pulled its paw back, it devoured a piece of meat from the pot without stopping.
After eating the meat, the black bear picked up the pot and started drinking the soup from it.
Meanwhile, Peter observed the black bear. In his assessment, the black bear was likely at the Foundation Establishment stage between rank one and two. Since the bear appeared to be a Body Refiner, its toughness made Peter doubt whether he could defeat it.
Of course, Peter didn’t worry too much about the black bear. He had many tricks up his sleeve, and his magic treasure would be enough to kill the beast.
After deciding to let it eat, Peter went over and collected the dishware while the black bear, startled by the sound, didn’t seem too concerned.
The pot was beyond saving, as it had been deformed when the black bear picked it up.
Uninterested in provoking the black bear, Peter continued to move forward.
However, after walking for a while, Peter glanced back at the black bear only to find it following him closely, showing no sign of leaving.
Seeing the situation, Peter took out a ham from his ring and threw it over to the black bear.
The black bear caught the ham and immediately started biting it ferociously.
While holding the ham, the black bear started gesturing.
"You talk to it," Peter told the Treasure Hunting Rabbit as he set it down.
The Treasure Hunting Rabbit cautiously eyed the black bear before the two demon beasts began communicating with various sounds.
Watching them interact, Peter smiled, knowing communication would make things easier and provide more information.
After walking for another two hours, Peter sensed something was wrong. It was as if he was walking in a gigantic formation and had never left the area.
"Master, after talking to it, we found out that it doesn’t know much about this place either. It said it entered here unintentionally, and it’s an enclosed area. No other demon beasts can enter besides this one," the Treasure Hunting Rabbit reported after finishing its conversation with the black bear.
