As soon as Austin entered the Grand Desolation Mountain, he faced all kinds of dreadful diabolic beasts and had to cope with all sorts of people including some notorious ones.
And the outer mountain of the Grand Desolation Mountain was the place where all the disciples from five sects toughened themselves.
Just as Austin entered the Grand Desolation Mountain, he was already in danger.
Three level-one diabolic beasts called ice snake attacked him.
Such a diabolic beast was common in the outer ring of the Grand Desolation Mountain. It was an ice-element beast with chilly poison hidden in its ice. If the victim wasn't given an antidote within half a day, the chilly poison would freeze the blood in his body until he died.
Most of the time, the ice snakes would camouflage like tree beard on the tree branches and people wouldn't know the difference. Once they attacked, it was difficult to prevent it.
Although the ice snakes were level-one diabolic beasts, many powerful cultivators fell to its trap because of carelessness.
Fortunately, Austin had a strong spiritual sense and found the three ice snakes as soon as they moved.
He waved his long sword and cut the three snakes into several parts.
However, Austin also got scared. The ice snake might not be powerful, but it had lightning speed and could appear from nowhere. If he reacted slowly, the consequence would be unimaginable.
After being attacked by the ice snakes, Austin became more cautious. As expected, the Grand Desolation Mountain was much more dangerous than the Beast Mountain, and he couldn't break into it randomly.
Austin took out a map under his arm and put it on the ground to check it carefully.
He bought this map at a price of one hundred vital energy crystals from the market at the entrance of the mountain. It had a general diagram of the Grand Desolation Mountain.
The dangerous area was marked with red. It was where the powerful high-level diabolic beasts lived.
Soon, Austin found his destination on the map. It was ten miles away in the southeast.
That was the place where the red stripe diabolic leopards appeared frequently.
It was the first task that Austin got from the hard mission room. If he managed to kill a level-three red stripe diabolic leopard, he would be rewarded with two thousand vital energy crystals.
However, Austin also learned from the map that there were many diabolic beasts which he could easily defeat on the way. Of course, he wouldn't let them go. Besides, he came to toughen himself and could get a lot of spoils from them as well.
... ...
Half a day had passed, Austin bent and hid in a jungle, looking at something in front of him cautiously.
He had met four level-two one-horned diabolic wolves.
The level-two one-horned diabolic wolf had the strength equal to that of a cultivator at level seven of the Energy Gathering Realm.
If Austin met one diabolic wolf, he was confident that he could kill it easily with his current strength.
But if the four attacked him simultaneously, he would have a hard time finishing them off.
However, after thinking for a while, Austin decided to act despite the danger.
He reminded himself why came here–to toughen himself and to promote his strength. There was no way he should shrink back at the challenges at hand.
Only if he could overcome his own limits could he toughen his will. It was indispensable to have tenacious stamina on the road to be a powerful man.
So there was no reason for him to give up.
After making up his mind, Austin jumped out from his hideout and started the Wind-commanding Skill. He quickly approached the four one-horned diabolic wolves.
Austin wanted to sneakily attack to quickly kill one, but as soon as he moved, the four one-horned diabolic wolves sensed him and turned their heads at the same time. Now, four pairs of bloody eyes stared back at Austin.
It appeared that the diabolic beast's innate sense was stronger than the human's.
As soon as the four diabolic wolves found Austin, they grinned and rushed to him without hesitation.
Austin intended to kill them, so they were. The human and beast were natural enemies.
