Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 709 - 708, Dark Divine Tribe's Camp_1

It was an animal similar to a tiger, but its body was covered in tentacles. The tentacles emitted a bright glow.

Jiang Chen closely observed its movements. He himself did not act, but concealed his form and followed behind the Foreign Tiger Alien Beast.

Yuan Ziyi said, "Using light to attract the surrounding Abnormal Beasts, it seems to be looking for prey."

Jiang Chen nodded.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, a Foreign Rat Beast noticed the light and approached. As it drew near, the Foreign Tiger Alien Beast rapidly shot out its tentacles, plunging them into the Foreign Rat Beast's body.

The Foreign Rat Beast's body rapidly collapsed, turning into a mummified corpse in just a few seconds, floating in mid-air.

Jiang Chen said, "This is their unique ability—to absorb energy from their victims' bodies and convert it into their own. They absorb Origin Energy."

Jiang Chen made a grasping motion with his hand, firmly locking onto the Foreign Tiger Alien Beast, and converted its abilities into abilities for Little Hong.

In an instant, Little Hong transformed, becoming identical to the Foreign Tiger Alien Beast from moments before.

Yuan Ziyi grew more curious about Jiang Chen's The Book of Heavenly Path, which was capable of changing forms at will and even absorbing the abilities of Abnormal Beasts. Her Destiny Law could not do this.

Under Jiang Chen's command, the Abnormal Beast Little Hong had transformed into charged toward the planet, entering the caves inside and penetrating to its deepest parts.

Jiang Chen could clearly feel that the entire planet was riddled with passageways, countless tunnels evenly distributed all around. Within these tunnels, there were innumerable Abnormal Beasts. These Abnormal Beasts all looked identical; the only difference was their color.

Jiang Chen keenly sensed the changes in his surroundings. The area was like a labyrinth.

Yuan Ziyi asked, "Have you found the entrance to the Exotic Beast King's lair?"

"No," Jiang Chen replied. "They have a hierarchy. The one we just killed was a weak Abnormal Beast, not a high-Level one. This form Little Hong has taken might not be able to enter certain areas."

Yuan Ziyi said, "It would be more satisfying to just charge in and kill the Abnormal Beasts."

"When did you become so reckless?" Jiang Chen countered. "The terrain here is complex. We can't act before finding the Exotic Beast King. The only method now is to locate the Exotic Beast King's den and absorb it. Moreover, the planet's interior terrain is complex, with many entrances and exits. If we alarm the Abnormal Beasts, the King might escape. I need to find the Exotic Beast King before we make a move."

Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry. The planet itself was incredibly hard; probably even the Laws would have difficulty breaching it. The Exotic Beast King surely possessed a lot of Origin Energy. This Origin Energy was exactly what Jiang Chen needed; the more he had, the greater his Strength would be.

Jiang Chen controlled Little Hong (in its Abnormal Beast form) to wander through the caves, searching for the Exotic Beast King.

Inside the caves, several Abnormal Beasts noticed the one Jiang Chen was controlling. They immediately surrounded it, sniffing suspiciously at Little Hong.

Jiang Chen frowned. They've found me out!

Controlling Little Hong, Jiang Chen had it act immediately. Its tentacles plunged into the bodies of the surrounding Abnormal Beasts, frantically absorbing their Origin Energy.

ROAR!

An infuriated roar erupted, alerting the entire cave system. Abnormal Beasts began to swarm deeper into the caves, pursuing the source of the sound.

Puzzled, Yuan Ziyi asked, "What's going on?"

"We've been discovered," Jiang Chen explained. "They have their own language and communication methods. Since we don't understand them, we can't interact."

"Isn't this a complete waste of effort then?"

"Although we've been discovered, it's not a major problem."

Meanwhile, the Abnormal Beast controlled by Jiang Chen frantically burrowed through the tunnels. The cave network was extensive; as long as it didn't try to communicate, its presence might go unnoticed. Jiang Chen had Little Hong find a spot and feign cultivation, settling down in one place.

As Little Hong did so, two Abnormal Beasts walked by. They stopped before it, emitting low growls... It was evident they were trying to communicate with the Abnormal Beast Little Hong had become.

"Which tribe's Celestial God are you?" one of the Abnormal Beasts growled. "That Ghost Ox is our food! We've waited here for three days just to catch the Ghost Ox King."

Jiang Chen was taken aback. Other spies?

He asked Yuan Ziyi, "Which race of the Heavenly Clan is this?"

Yuan Ziyi shook her head. "I'm not sure. This is my first time here as well. I only know there are Abnormal Beasts here from memory."

"Is there a problem?" Yuan Ziyi asked.

"We've encountered an Abnormal Beast controlled by the Heavenly Clan," Jiang Chen said. "Their target is the Ghost Ox King, the king of the Abnormal Beasts on this planet. It seems there aren't just Abnormal Beasts here, but many other races too. It's very possible that the Creator God is also from the Heavenly Clan."

Jiang Chen was filled with doubt. The Heavenly Clan... where the hell did this race spring from?

Through Little Hong, Jiang Chen asked, "Which tribe's Celestial God are you from?"

"The Dark Divine. What tribe are you from?"

"The Light God."

Jiang Chen had randomly picked a name. If there was Dark, there should be Light; that wasn't too far-fetched, right? Who knew if it would be convincing? Whatever! His goal was the Exotic Beast King. He would deal with the rest after capturing it.

The two Abnormal Beasts controlled by the Heavenly Clan looked perplexed. "The Light God's tribe? We've never heard of such a clan. Who are you really? Which Celestial God clan are you from? Tell us!"

"Guess?" Little Hong replied.

"Brother, it might be from the Red Ridge Deity Clan," one of them said to the other.

"You! Get out of here now!" the first one snarled at Little Hong. "The Ghost Ox King is ours! You are not to touch it!"

"Actually, we could work together. Half each, how about that?" Little Hong proposed.

"We of the Dark Divine Tribe never collaborate with your Red Ridge Deity Clan! Get lost!"

Little Hong, controlled by Jiang Chen, retorted, "What if I don't want to leave?"

ROAR!

The Abnormal Beast controlled by the Dark Divine Tribe immediately let out a furious roar, summoning nearby Abnormal Beasts. The entire cave trembled.

Little Hong, still controlled by Jiang Chen, immediately fled, rushing rapidly out of the cave.

"What's happening? He doesn't seem to understand the Ghost Ox Foreign Beast's way of communication," one of the Dark Divine Tribe members noted.

"He must be a newly matured member of the Heavenly Clan who hasn't yet mastered this power. Don't worry about it. Let the Ghost Ox Foreign Beasts attack him, and we'll seize the opportunity to capture the Ghost Ox King."

Jiang Chen now understood. The Dark Divine Tribe controlled the communication abilities of the Ghost Willow Alien Beast, allowing them to infiltrate the planet silently and hunt the Ghost Ox King.

Controlling Little Hong, Jiang Chen had it run recklessly through the caves. Since sneaking in was no longer an option, he would have Little Hong face the Ghost Ox Tribe head-on.

Little Hong rampaged through the caves, fighting fiercely. Empowered by the Origin Energy from The Book of Heavenly Path, ordinary Abnormal Beasts were no match for it, and their Origin Energy was absorbed.

ROAR!

Countless members of the Ghost Ox Tribe charged, and Jiang Chen, through Little Hong, immediately unleashed Sword Qi. Plowing through, Little Hong advanced into the depths of the cave, leaving behind a trail of Ghost Ox Tribe corpses.

At that moment, another furious roar echoed.

Jiang Chen didn't understand its meaning, but upon hearing it, the members of the Dark Divine Tribe immediately realized the Ghost Ox King was preparing to flee.

"Damn that Red Ridge Deity Clan member! He's barged into the interior, intent on forcibly killing the Ghost Ox King!"

"What should we do?"

"What else can we do? We have to charge in!"
