Chapter 90: Spirit Pet

A pale-faced Li Ao, at this moment, looked at Xiao Ran with a serious expression.
After hearing Li Ao's words, a hint of surprise appeared on Xiao Ran's face. He didn't expect that, even at this stage, Li Ao still didn't obediently admit defeat.
Is he just a dead duck being stubborn, or does he have some trump card in hand.
"Hmph, no matter what means you have, they are useless against me."
"I'll give you back your words from earlier. As long as you obediently hand over the jade tablet, I can let you leave the trial secret realm with a bit of dignity today."
"From the looks of you, I imagine you have quite a reputation among the inner disciples."
"You wouldn't want to walk out of here with a black eye, would you?"
As he looked at Li Ao, Xiao R
At this moment, he felt the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly, as if something was moving underground.
A thought struck him, and Xiao Ran pushed off with both legs, instantly retreating towards Ye Feng. Just as he reached Ye Feng's side, a sudden change occurred where he had been standing before.
Just now, the ground under his feet suddenly exploded, and a black shadow burst out from the ground.
The black shadow was about a yard long, with sharp claws, and looked extremely fierce. It was a powerful beast.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran's face couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment. He didn't expect to encounter a ferocious beast in this trial secret land.
At the same time, Li Ao, who was facing Xiao Ran, also couldn't help but be stunned.
How could he not have expected that his secretive methods would be noticed by Xiaoran? Is this guy so perceptive?
After realizing that it failed to attack Xiaoran, the black beast cast a crimson gaze at Xiaoran before quickly diving back into the ground.
"Mountain Beast!"
Just then, Ye Feng, who was beside Xiao Ran, couldn't help but exclaim, obviously he, like Xiao Ran, didn't expect to see a fierce beast in this trial secret realm.
But then his face changed, and his eyes fixed on Li Ao.
"That is your spirit companion!"
Looking at Li Ao, Ye Feng asked with a serious tone, in the trial secret realm, there is no signs of any life existence. So, since this fierce beast appeared here, it is obviously brought by Li Ao.
With Li Ao sitting across from him, he couldn't help but look at Ye Feng with an astonished expression after listening to his words.
"I didn't expect you to actually figure it out, yes, this is my spirit pet."
“开山兽的实力，相当于修士筑基境界八重，而且皮糙肉厚，攻击力非常的强悍。”
说话之间，看着萧然还有叶枫，李敖丑陋的脸上露出了一丝微笑，他接着说道：
“This was originally meant for me to deal with you, Ye Feng, and Yun Qing. I didn't expect it to be exposed now, but it doesn't matter. It will definitely be worth it to use it at this time."
"The two of us together can be invincible even when facing a strong opponent at the Dual-stage of the Transcendent Realm."
"Today, I will definitely eliminate the two of you. If you don't want your body parts to be eaten by the Mountain-splitting Beast, then hand over the jade pendants obediently."
After listening to Li Ao's words, Xiao Ran's face couldn't help but show shock and regret. He didn't expect that Li Ao would have a spiritual pet like Kai Shan Beast.
Of course, his shock at this moment was not because of the other party's strength, but because the cultivator could actually form a contract with a spiritual pet.
Now he feels like he has missed out on a great fortune.
When he was in the Crescent Forest, he hunted down the offspring of those ferocious beasts. Those little guys were not powerful at all, and because they had not grown up, their bodies had not condensed any beast crystals, and their materials were not of much value. He just let them be.
If they knew that monks could also tame spirit pets, they would have captured those creatures and sold them a long time ago.
Xiao Ran also encountered Li Ao's opener beast in the New Moon Forest, and its strength was not inferior to the Iron Wall Giant Bear.
Moreover, the mountain opener is even more difficult to deal with than the iron-arm giant bear. The iron-arm giant bear is a ferocious beast that moves on land, but the mountain opener is different. After failing to defeat its opponent, it will directly burrow into the ground.
修士只有进阶到更高境界，才能掌握土行术，
所以在低阶修士之中，开山兽的钻地之术简直就是无解的存在。
在新月森林之中，萧然碰到过好几头开山兽，但最终也只是击杀了一头，其他的都被他们钻地逃跑了。
不过虽然这些开山兽逃跑的速度很快，但是他们的实力对于小人来说还是不够看的。
“一只小小的开山兽而已，你有什么好得意的！”
"I have actually eaten the meat of this creature in the New Moon Forest, but it was dry and had a strong gamey smell, not tasty at all."
Looking at Li Ao in the distance, Xiao Ran said indifferently.
After speaking, Xiao Ran stomped on the ground and rushed towards Li Ao.
Watching Xiao Ran rushing towards him, Li Ao's expression remained unchanged as his hands moved quickly. At the same time, a faint blood-colored aura emerged from his spiritual power, and his complexion became even paler. It was evident that he was employing some mysterious technique.
Xiao Ran rushed towards Li Ao, but halfway there, the ground under his feet suddenly exploded. The mountain-opening beast swung its huge claws fiercely towards Xiao Ran's body.
However, this sudden scene did not make Xiao Ran panic at all. Instead, he revealed a smirk of success.
In the face of the slashing claws from the behemoth, Xiao Ran decisively met them head-on with a palm of his own.
With a loud bang, the attacks from both the human and the beast collided. Under the swipe of the mountain-splitting beast's claws, Xiao Ran's body sank downward, his feet sinking into the ground. However, there was no injury on his entire body.
这完全是因为他的体型和开山兽之间相差有些大，脚下的地面根本承受不住一人一兽爆发的巨力。
开山兽的实力可以媲美修士筑基境界八重，到了这个实力之后，他本身就已经开始诞生了一丝的灵性。
Giant claws with terrifying winds swept towards Xiao Ran. In the fledgling consciousness of the Mountain Opener Beast, he was already looking forward to this prey, just like in the usual hunting situations, being pounded into minced meat by himself.
But what it didn't expect next was that, after its massive claw collided with Xiao Ran's seemingly small palm, it was immediately stopped from continuing to press down, blocked by Xiao Ran.
