A golden light flashed and landed on the grass beside Brody.
“Howl…!”
Accompanied by a wolf’s howl, a figure quickly emerged from the golden light.
In just a few seconds, a giant wolf covered in soft golden fur appeared on the grass.
The Golden Giant Wolf had a crescent mark on its forehead and stood majestically on the grass.
Seeing the Golden Giant Wolf, the small old man and the twin sisters’ gazes sharpened.
Brooks the monk also looked at the golden wolf, and even the mysterious man in the gray robe was no exception.
This wolf was named Howling Moon Golden Wolf. Judging by its aura, it should be at the upper Demon General level.
In the Awakened Continent, low-level demon pets were quite common, but those reaching the upper Demon General level were not so numerous among Cultivators.
Moreover, the Howling Moon Golden Wolf had considerable potential; it could serve as both a mount and a formidable combat force.
“I only need it for transportation,” Brody said proudly as everyone turned their attention to his demon pet mount.
“Now, besides Mr. Cameron and me giving up two spots, there are still two extra people,” Brooks the monk said, looking at everyone.
As soon as Brooks finished speaking, Brody smirked and said, “Master Brooks, weren’t they the last to arrive? They should solve this themselves.”
After speaking, Brody petted the fur of the Howling Moon Golden Wolf and looked at Violet and Leo with a smile.
Brooks instinctively turned his gaze to Leo and Violet.
“Leo, that Brody is too mean, always targeting us,” Violet said softly to Leo, glaring at Brody with dissatisfaction.
Leo nodded slightly, his eyes showing a hint of coldness.
The Howling Moon Golden Wolf beside Brody, connected to him in mind, let out a low growl at Leo.
Leo’s eyes turned cold. If it were an ordinary beast baring its teeth at him, he would have slapped it to death long ago.
Leo untied his Spirit Pouch from his waist and waved his right hand. A flash of lightning flew out from the Storage Sack and landed on the grass in front of Leo.
The lightning quickly grew larger, transforming into a winged beast within seconds.
This scene immediately drew everyone’s attention away from the Howling Moon Golden Wolf.
Leo had released the Thunder Wing Beast.
“Hah, it’s just a beast that doesn’t even qualify as a demon beast,” Brody sneered, his tone full of undisguised mockery after seeing the Thunder Wing Beast’s appearance.
Beasts were the initial stage of demon beasts and had much less potential, certainly inferior to his Howling Moon Golden Wolf.
The Thunder Wing Beast seemed to understand Brody’s words. Its eyes flashed with lightning as it stared at Brody before turning its gaze to the Howling Moon Golden Wolf beside him.
The two beasts locked eyes, sparks flying in their gazes.
The Howling Moon Golden Wolf bared its sharp teeth and let out a threatening growl.
The Thunder Wing Beast’s face also showed ferocity. It took a step forward and opened its huge mouth to let out an even louder roar.
The roar spread like an invisible sound wave, causing even the Cultivators present to feel a slight shock in their hearts.
The Howling Moon Golden Wolf’s expression changed, showing a hint of fear in its wolf eyes as it involuntarily took two steps back.
Seeing the Howling Moon Golden Wolf retreat two steps under the roar of a mere beast made Brody lose face instantly.
“What are you afraid of!?” Brody glared at the Howling Moon Golden Wolf, signaling it to fight back.
However, facing the much larger Thunder Wing Beast, the Howling Moon Golden Wolf dared not take another step forward.
Only the Howling Moon Golden Wolf knew that the Thunder Wing Beast exuded a bloodline power far superior to its own. This was known as Bloodline Suppression.
“Useless beast!” Brody kicked the Howling Moon Golden Wolf and cursed.
But the Howling Moon Golden Wolf only let out continuous low growls, still showing fear and not daring to advance.
“Hehe, some people look down on others without realizing there are always stronger beings,” Violet glanced at Brody and laughed charmingly.
Brody’s face turned even uglier.
This kind of invisible humiliation was the hardest to bear. Brody couldn’t possibly step forward and roar back at the Thunder Wing Beast himself.
“Mr. Bloomer, your spirit pet can actually scare off the Howling Moon Golden Wolf. Truly remarkable,” said Beau, the small old man with squinting eyes flashing with brilliance.
“Mr. Morris flatters me,” Leo replied politely with a smile after glancing at Beau.
It was known that when nurturing the Thunder Wing Beast, Leo had fed it many good things, including magma jade marrow and fire crystal jade from the Azure Dragon Shrine.
Now, the Thunder Wing Beast was essentially no longer just a beast but had become a demon beast.
“Master Brooks, Violet and I will ride it,” Leo said to Brooks after patting the Thunder Wing Beast.
“Since Mr. Bloomer and Miss Violet also have mounts, let’s set off,” Brooks said after scanning everyone with his gaze.
Beau was the first to move onto the Green Spirit Wind Travelling Boat with a flash of his figure.
“My Green Spirit Wind Travelling Boat requires five Medium-Quality Spirit Stones for each flight.”
As he spoke, Beau glanced at the twin sisters, the mysterious man, and Timothy.
Then he summoned a Medium-Quality Spirit Stone with his right hand and placed it into a groove at the front of the boat’s hull.
There were five grooves in total at the front of the boat. Since Beau had provided his flying spiritual weapon, he naturally wouldn’t spend five Medium-Quality Spirit Stones himself.
The twin sisters flashed their figures and each placed a Medium-Quality Spirit Stone into a groove. The mysterious man and Timothy did the same.
Brooks also moved onto the lotus jade seat and sat cross-legged.
Brody cast a dark look at Leo and the Thunder Wing Beast before mounting his Howling Moon Golden Wolf.
Leo and Violet flashed onto the back of the Thunder Wing Beast.
“Amitabha, let’s set off,” Brooks said with palms pressed together in a gesture of respect toward everyone.
In an instant, the lotus jade seat transformed into a stream of light and flew toward Azure Dragon Mountains.
Beau formed several hand seals with his fingers and activated them.
On the Green Spirit Wind Travelling Boat, cyan wind runes flickered before forming a light membrane that enveloped everyone on board. The boat then transformed into a stream of light chasing after Brooks.
The Howling Moon Golden Wolf beneath Brody let out a howl and followed closely behind.
The Thunder Wing Beast spread its wings and took off into low altitude, carrying Leo and Violet away.
Entering the forested mountains brought cooler temperatures.
Tall trees stood densely together, with sunlight filtering through their leaves in patches.
Four streams of light flew swiftly through low altitude.
During their journey, demon beasts occasionally appeared. However, sensing the presence of Thunder Wing Beast and Howling Moon Golden Wolf, weaker demon beasts naturally didn’t dare to provoke them.
