As the warriors from the Wolf Lord Base increasingly converged on the Qingcheng Base, the dire beast crisis facing the Wolf Lord Base could no longer be concealed.
Upon hearing the news, the ordinary people of Qingcheng Base were thrown into an uproar.
No one could have imagined that a medium-sized base, boasting two extraordinary warriors, would one day face the threat of annihilation.
Ye Ningze, upon hearing of this matter, was also somewhat astonished.
"A beast tide that even the Wolf Lord Base cannot handle?"
Ye Ningze clicked his tongue.
While shocked, Ye Ningze also felt a sense of unease.
If these beasts were capable of destroying a medium-sized base, what would happen if they eventually reached Qingcheng Base?
This was not Ye Ningze being overly worried.
Such an event was highly probable in reality.
After all, the Wolf Lord Base was situated so close to Qingcheng Base. If not for the proximity, perhaps the Wolf Lord Base would not have chosen Qingcheng Base.
Considering this, Ye Ningze understood the need to cultivate even harder.
"I must improve my strength as quickly as possible before the beasts arrive, so I can protect my sister!"
Ye Ningze secretly resolved.
Through his cultivation in recent times, Ye Ningze had gradually come to understand his shortcomings.
That was the deficiency in his speed.
His current speed talent had evolved entirely from his flame talent.
Despite being an S-class speed talent, it only amplified his own speed threefold.
Ye Ningze's own cultivation realm was not high, only at the Grandmaster level. Even with a threefold speed boost, the speed he could unleash was not remarkable.
Under these circumstances, Ye Ningze decided to focus his recent talent copying plans on beasts with speed talents.
After a period of searching, Ye Ningze finally set his sights on a mid-level fierce beast.
"Light Chasing Leopard!"
Although the Light Chasing Leopard was a mid-level fierce beast, its speed surpassed that of high-level fierce beasts.
If he could copy the speed talent of this beast, Ye Ningze's strength would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
Once he identified his target beast, Ye Ningze immediately began searching for its tracks.
"Great Prajna Forest!"
After some searching, Ye Ningze quickly found the nearest location.
In truth, the Light Chasing Leopard, a mid-level fierce beast, did not possess strong offensive capabilities and was extremely vigilant.
Therefore, upon encountering human warriors, its first instinct was to flee, making it difficult to track them.
However, fortunate Ye Ningze discovered a forest not far from Qingcheng Base.
The tracks of Light Chasing Leopards had been spotted there before.
The Great Prajna Forest was a vast expanse of forest stretching for thousands of miles.
The part of the forest located near Qingcheng Base was merely a section, or rather, a branch, of the Great Prajna Forest.
"The outer regions of the Great Prajna Forest rarely see fierce beasts; generally, they only operate in the interior. Moreover, many high-level fierce beasts have been sighted here, no wonder no warriors venture there..."
Ye Ningze mused, looking at the information in his hand.
At his current stage, Ye Ningze's cultivation progress had begun to stagnate.
While the Great Prajna Forest was undoubtedly dangerous for other warriors, it was an ideal training ground for Ye Ningze.
In fact, Ye Ningze had long wanted to go out and train. Being confined to a small place like Qingcheng Base, with no resources and lacking everything, was frustrating.
The reason he hadn't gone out before was primarily his concern for his sister's safety.
But now, Ye Yuhan had also embarked on the path of cultivation, and the Li family had been annihilated by him. As long as he found a few bodyguards for his sister, everything would be fine.
"Who should I find to be my sister's bodyguard?"
Ye Ningze pondered.
Suddenly, Ye Ningze had a target in mind.
It was the Wind Wolf team!
The Wind Wolf team's usual duty was to maintain order within the city, and their overall strength was not weak.
If it wasn't for a Grandmaster warrior making a move, the Wind Wolves would certainly have no problem.
Moreover, Ye Ningze wasn't asking the Wind Wolf team to guard his sister twenty-four hours a day, but rather to provide covert protection.
If Ye Yuhan encountered danger, the warriors of the Wind Wolf team could simply step in to resolve it.
It would be sufficient for the Wind Wolf team to dispatch just a few warriors to handle the situation.
With this thought, Ye Ningze, carrying twenty mid-level beast materials, found Wind Wolf.
Earlier, in the Sunset Forest, Ye Ningze had saved the lives of Wind Wolf and his team.
Not to mention that Ye Ningze was now offering such generous compensation, Wind Wolf readily agreed.
After arranging for his sister's safety, Ye Ningze finally set off on his journey to the Great Prajna Forest.
...
Great Prajna Forest.
Upon arriving at the Great Prajna Forest, Ye Ningze noticed that the trees here were exceptionally tall, mostly exceeding ten meters, with the tallest reaching hundreds of meters.
Not only were they very tall, but their diameters were also four to five meters.
As per the information he had gathered, Ye Ningze indeed found no fierce beasts in the outer regions of the forest.
It was as if the Great Prajna Forest had a strict hierarchical system.
Ordinary ferocious beasts could only roam the outer areas, while the central regions were the dwelling places of fierce beasts.
Of course, these were mere conjectures and had not been confirmed.
In the absence of any fierce beast sightings, Ye Ningze quickly moved deeper into the forest.
When Ye Ningze reached a slightly more interior area, he did indeed discover the presence of fierce beasts.
Upon confirming the existence of fierce beasts, Ye Ningze immediately stopped, maintaining constant vigilance.
After all, the Great Prajna Forest was rumored to harbor high-level fierce beasts. If he encountered some high-level fierce beasts with special talents, Ye Ningze, with his current strength, would not be their match.
Ye Ningze ventured through the Great Prajna Forest for several days but still had not found any trace of the Light Chasing Leopard.
Although he hadn't found the Light Chasing Leopard, he had hunted quite a few fierce beasts.
"It seems I won't have to worry about cultivation resources for a while."
Ye Ningze thought to himself.
"I'll use these resources to improve my realm for now, and search while cultivating!"
He had expected the search for the Light Chasing Leopard to be a long-term goal, but soon Ye Ningze had an unexpected discovery.
One day, as Ye Ningze was walking, he spotted a beast resembling a leopard ahead.
There were rows of footprints resembling wolf claws.
Judging by the paw prints, it was not just one or two, but a pack.
"Light Chasing Leopards resemble wolves in appearance, but they are essentially leopards. These paw prints on the ground are somewhat similar; perhaps they are indeed Light Chasing Leopards."
After analyzing, Ye Ningze quickly followed the tracks.
Under the current circumstances, whether they were or not, Ye Ningze had to follow and investigate.
After tracking for some time, Ye Ningze, with his threefold speed amplification activated, suddenly slammed on the brakes.
He stopped abruptly, his expression changing slightly, and he muttered, "Intense energy fluctuations. Someone is fighting ahead!"
