The Rise of the Fallen Prodigy

This blow was obviously more powerful than the force when the inkstone fell. If he were hit by this Frenzied Fire Ox, he would surely be in a life - or - death situation.

After a moment, Liam Smith finally remembered the information about the Frenzied Fire Ox.

He remembered seeing information about the Frenzied Fire Ox in an ancient book before.

It was a kind of monster.

Monsters were an ancient group that had a longer history than humans.

In the Liberty Divine Land, cultivation was not a privilege exclusive to humans. On the contrary, the first to cultivate were monsters.

Monsters were born with the ability to cultivate. They had powerful strength from birth and would become stronger as they grew.

Perhaps God was fair. Generally speaking, monsters had their own specific limits, and the power they possessed was limited. It seemed as if there was something binding them in the dark.

There were thousands of kinds of monsters in the Liberty Divine Land. Each kind of monster had a different form and varying levels of strength. Undoubtedly, the higher - level monsters had extremely powerful strength, while the lower - level monsters were relatively much weaker.

The predecessors of the Liberty Divine Land divided monsters into nine levels from level one to level nine according to their different grades.

The higher the level, the higher the grade, which also meant the stronger the monster.

Different levels corresponded to different cultivation realms of human warriors.

A level-one monster was equivalent to a warrior in the Refined Gas Realm, a level - two monster was equivalent to a warrior in the Condensate Realm...

By analogy, a level - nine monster was equivalent to the peak of human warriors, a warrior in the Divine Paradox Realm.

Monsters were a simpler group than humans. They had a strict hierarchical system. Lower-level monsters would obey higher - level monsters, and higher-level monsters would obey even higher-level monsters.

It seemed that God wanted to prove his fairness. Usually, the intelligence of monsters was lower than that of humans. Some lower - level monsters didn't have any intelligence at all, and all their actions were just out of instinct.

Only higher - level monsters had intelligence, and the higher the level, the stronger the intelligence. A few monsters could reach or even exceed the intelligence level of humans.

On this magical land of the Liberty Divine Land, there were families formed by monsters, commonly known as monster families.

Only a few kinds of monsters could achieve this. When they reached a certain realm, they could transform into human forms, indistinguishable from normal people, and even had natural advantages over normal people.

The reason why monsters could have extremely powerful strength was all due to the magic core in their bodies. This was something that every monster had, equivalent to the Dantian Core of human warriors.

The magic core could help them absorb the Spirit of Heaven and Earth and transform it into their own strength, which was stored in their bodies.

No one knew how many tens of thousands of years ago, human warriors discovered that the power contained in the magic core was very beneficial to human warriors.

However, it didn't mean that warriors could directly absorb it. The power in the magic core was extremely violent. No one could directly absorb it. Even a powerful warrior in the Aetheric Pinnacle Realm would be blown up by this violent power.

The function of the magic core was that pharmacists could use unique methods to refine elixirs with them. After a pharmacist refined a magic core and an elixir was formed, the original violent power would become stable, and the power of the Pure Quintessence in the magic core could also be perfectly absorbed.

Most of the various - level elixirs popular in the Liberty Divine Land now were refined by matching magic cores with some spiritual flowers and exotic herbs in a certain amount.

The function of elixirs in the Liberty Divine Land was beyond doubt. The value of some high - level elixirs was even higher than that of the same - level cultivation methods and martial arts.

No one knew how many people in the Liberty Divine Land fought to the death for elixirs every day.

Perhaps for the huge profits, human warriors began to hunt monsters and exchange magic cores for Soul crystals or other cultivation resources.

This could undoubtedly bring in a certain income, and it was often in short supply. But there must be a price for every gain.

At first, people only hunted lower - level monsters. However, as the demand for cultivation resources grew, human warriors began to take risks and set their sights on those higher - level monsters.

Monsters were naturally not to be slaughtered. When their lives were at stake, they would definitely fight back.

Some powerful monsters could even easily kill human warriors of the same level.

Over the years, more and more magic cores appeared in the world, and countless human warriors died at the hands of monsters. The two sides were at odds with each other, and it was usually a fight to the death when they met.

Especially lower - level monsters. They didn't think and only acted according to their instincts.

Moreover, monsters were naturally violent - tempered, and there were even fights among some monsters. After thousands of years of struggle, almost all monsters regarded human warriors as enemies.

If they met a powerful warrior, they would run away; if they met a weak one, they would kill.

This had become the common behavior between human warriors and monsters.

The Frenzied Fire Ox that Liam Smith was facing now was a level - one monster, with a strength equivalent to that of a warrior at the fifth level of the Refined Gas Realm. Anyway, Liam Smith was definitely no match for it.

"Master, is it a monster?"

"Since you know, why do you still ask?" Alistair said indifferently.

While Liam Smith stared intently at the Frenzied Fire Ox, afraid that it would launch another attack on him, he continued to talk to Alistair, "Master, think of a way quickly."

"Think of a way? What kind of way?" Alistair laughed and said, "It has nothing to do with me."

"Master, stop joking at this time."

"Your master is really not joking." Alistair gave a wicked smile and said, "You figure it out by yourself. I'm going to rest."

"Master, master..." Liam Smith called out twice, but there was no response from Alistair. He probably really didn't care about him anymore.

Liam Smith couldn't help swearing, "This old guy. Don't let me escape, or I won't let you off."

Obviously, Alistair ignored Liam Smith's threat and remained silent.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting help from Alistair, Liam Smith placed his hope on the Frenzied Fire Ox.

He bowed to the fire ox and said, "Brother Ox, we have no grudges in the past and no enmities today. You're magnanimous. Please just pretend you didn't see me and let me go."

While nodding and bowing, Liam Smith began to carefully turn around and prepare to leave.

However, the Frenzied Fire Ox obviously didn't understand what Liam Smith was saying. Its two huge nostrils snorted heavily, and it exerted force with its four legs. Its huge body charged towards Liam Smith again.

Liam Smith didn't dare to be negligent. He tapped his toes and leaped into the air, just avoiding the attack of the Frenzied Fire Ox, and landed steadily at the place where he had rested before.

When passing by the Frenzied Fire Ox, Liam Smith clearly felt the intense heat on its body. Its whole body was like a furnace, and the heat was almost unbearable.

He quickly put the black robe into the Storage Bag and was about to go forward and put the inkstone away as well.

But at this moment, the Frenzied Fire Ox suddenly made a sharp turn, let out a low growl, and charged again.

This was unexpected by Liam Smith. He didn't expect that the Frenzied Fire Ox would even charge straight at such a large inkstone.

Liam Smith, who was pulling out the torch, didn't have time to react. He saw the huge body of the Frenzied Fire Ox smash into the inkstone. Under this powerful force, the hundreds-jin inkstone was directly knocked flying, and Liam Smith was also sent flying backwards.

Liam Smith felt as if a huge force had penetrated his whole body, and his internal organs were shaken. After landing, he endured the pain and took four or five steps back before barely stabilizing his figure.

The inkstone also fell obliquely on the ground.

Over there, the Frenzied Fire Ox also seemed to have not expected the inkstone to be so hard. Its head was a bit dazed at the moment, and it was shaking its huge bull's head.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liam Smith took a deep breath, steadied the churning blood in his body, flipped forward, put away the inkstone, and picked up the torch that had fallen on the ground beside him.

Liam Smith put his hands together and bowed to the Frenzied Fire Ox, saying, "Brother Ox, did I break into your territory? Don't worry, I'll leave right away." After saying that, Liam Smith made a gesture of preparing to leave.

He knew that for some monsters, the sense of territory was very strong. As long as other people or monsters stepped into their territory, they would definitely launch a life - and - death fight.

It was estimated that this Frenzied Fire Ox in front of him was such a monster, and he had just happened to enter its territory. Although the possibility was not high, Liam Smith had to give it a try.

The Frenzied Fire Ox simply didn't understand what Liam Smith was saying. Coupled with the fact that the previous blow had made its head hurt, it was even more ferocious at the moment.

It scratched the ground with its front hooves and began to low - growl. Its bell - sized eyes stared fixedly at Liam Smith, and its face was full of ferocity.

Without a doubt, there was another attack next. Liam Smith covered his slightly painful chest and leaped towards the nearby weed - patch.

The Frenzied Fire Ox's attack missed again, which made it very angry. It rammed into a nearby big tree with all its might and even gnawed on the trunk from time to time, as if venting its anger.

Liam Smith clearly saw that the big tree that had been "maltreated" by the Frenzied Fire Ox had spots of charred black, as if it had been burned by fire.

At this moment, Liam Smith finally understood how the Frenzied Fire Ox got its name. He estimated that if he were bitten by it a few times, he would be cooked immediately.

Liam Smith, still in a state of lingering fear, didn't dare to stay in this place any longer.

He had already suffered a minor internal injury. Although it was not serious, if he continued to entangle with this Frenzied Fire Ox, he would probably be in more danger in the end.

Liam Smith thought that if he really fought this big guy to the death, although he was no match for it, the Frenzied Fire Ox wouldn't have an easy time either.

However, he didn't have to fight this big guy to the death. There might be other monsters in the Cloud - Connecting Mountains. If he met something else later, it would be troublesome.

The best way now was to run away quickly. Maybe this guy would give up after chasing him for a while and not being able to catch up.

In the meantime, he could also look for a safe place to hide for a while.

During the previous several confrontations, Liam Smith had also learned the characteristics of the Frenzied Fire Ox. Although this guy had great strength, its speed didn't seem to be an advantage.

Liam Smith was confident that he could shake off this big guy with his own agility.

Without hesitation, he threw the torch aside, circulated the true mantra in his body, and rushed into the darkness.

Seeing Liam Smith running away right under its nose, the Frenzied Fire Ox let out a few low growls, and its huge body chased after him closely. Along the way, there was the sound of the ground trembling slightly...
