After a while, the monsters stampeded past the area where Zheng-Fu was. They took down most of the trees in the area. Zheng-Fu was lucky that the tree that he was on did not get knocked down…

Whoosh!

"What did they run away from?" Zheng-Fu said while curiously looking in the direction where the monsters came from…

Boom!

Zheng-Fu did not have a chance to lose his curiosity when an explosion occurred. It came with a wind storm that shook the big tree that Zheng-Fu was on. Since it was a big tree, Zheng-Fu did not have to worry that it would fall down. Zheng-Fu could sense the strong energy wave when the explosion occurred. It was like there was some kind of fight in that direction…

"Could they be high-level monsters?"

With great curiosity, Zheng-Fu soared in that direction instantly. Jin-Tian also soared after him closely. Within a minute, Zheng-Fu arrived at the place where there was an explosion. He saw two monsters that were as large as a three-story building. They were fighting each other violently…

Roar!

Bahruuhaa!

"What are those things!?" Zheng-Fu exclaimed out of shock and bedazzlement when he saw two monsters in a fight. One monster looked similar to an elephant. It stood on two feet. Its tusks were huge and looked like a zig-zag blade. The other monster was blue. It did not look good at all, with sharp claws and spikes on its back…

Zheng-Fu rushed to call back his mind and tried to detect the energy levels of the monsters instantly. He had to crinkle his eyebrows to know that both of them were on the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage…

"That's the reason why those monsters ran for their lives. They were afraid of these two monsters."

Zheng-Fu said while rubbing his chin and watching the two monsters fight. They were close to becoming the Evil Monsters. When they did, they would be able to talk like humans and be smarter…

It was different from the Monster Tribe that descended from the real Monster Tribe. These monsters had spoken human language since they were born. They were as smart as humans too but stronger in body strength. As for regular monsters, they had to turn into monsters and then Evil Monsters. They had to get to the Immortal stage before they could talk or become smart like humans.

These were the differences between regular monsters and the Monster Tribe…

When the Monster Tribe crossbred, they would give birth to regular monsters. So, the Monster Tribe was especially careful about choosing their partners. They would like to maintain their purebreds, especially the high-ranked monsters like the Dragon Tribe, Kylin Tribe, and Swan Tribe. They were very proud of their tribes…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Roar!

The fight between the two high-level monsters continued. They were equally great at fighting, so they would not let each other take over them. Zheng-Fu was five kilometers away from them because he did not want to get too close to them. He did not want them to detect his existence, even though he was confident in his disguising skill. It was better safe than sorry…

After two shichens, the fight started to slow down because the two monsters started to get exhausted and drained. Each of them did not seem to be inferior to one another. It was like they wanted to test their fighting skills with one another…

"Alright! They were gone. The path is cleared," Zheng-Fu turned to talk to Jin-Tian, who was watching the fight with utmost interest…

Zheng-Fu did not kill them because he could sense strong energy that did not come from the two high-level monsters. He wanted to kill them, but could not do so…

When the path was cleared, Zheng-Fu continued to move toward the center of the forest. He had only four months left before he completed the whole year in the forest. And he needed to get out of the forest as soon as he could. Not encountering monsters saved him time. If he fought, he had to waste his time fighting and reviving his energy.

Even though he could gain back his energy and strength faster than others, he still thought that it was a waste of his time…

Whoosh!

Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian headed toward the center of the forest at great speed. They had gone through rivers and countless high-level monsters along the way. Two weeks had passed now, and they finally reached the central zone of the Ancient Monster Forest, where big, tall trees fully flocked the space, which made the whole place look cold and eerie…

Whoosh!

The sound of the wind that touched tree leaves created a horrifying atmosphere. However, Zheng-Fu was not scared of it because he could detect real harm with his sensory detector that could go as far as five kilometers…

"Wait!"

All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu's face turned pale because he could sense two tremendously powerful forces. They were about four or five kilometers away from him. It was just about the range that his sensory detector worked…

"What a powerful force!?" Zheng-Fu said while crinkling his eyebrows in wonder. He wanted to go check them out, but he was hesitating…

Jin-Tian walked toward Zheng-Fu and sat next to him when it saw that he looked miserable. It tilted its head while looking at Zheng-Fu…

"Sigh! I guess if I want to know, I'll just have to go check it out." Zheng-Fu decided to move closer to those powerful forces…

Even though he could see from a distance, he could not see through those big trees because he did not have that magical eyesight. That was why he had to get closer to look for a perfect spot to check out those powerful forces…

Boom!

Boom!

As Zheng-Fu got to the spot that was two kilometers away from the powerful forces, he heard the sound of a clash. He also felt the energy wave from the clash. Even though it was just a light energy wave, it could chill him right to the core. Now he started to weigh whether he should go closer…

Boom!

All of a sudden, a big tree was thrown over the place where Zheng-Fu was standing while he was thinking. It caused him and Jin-Tian to dodge instantly…

"Phew! That was close! Darn it! Did they want to kill us?" Zheng-Fu sighed while complaining about the big tree that fell on him. Then he used his ultimate disguising skill to hide his existence and headed toward the two powerful forces…

Whoosh!

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp

Zheng-Fu jumped from one tree to another with great speed and reached the spot where he could see what was going on in no time. Then he was shocked when he got to see the owners of those two powerful forces. What he was seeing were two types of monsters that he had seen earlier. When he took a good look, he saw more of each of them in the area nearby.

They were just smaller than the two monsters in the middle of the gathering. Each type of monster flocked together and separated from one another…

"I guess the fight between these two huge monsters blocked the energy wave of the rest of the monsters. I just have to practice and stabilize my sensory detecting skill," Zheng-Fu said when he realized the reason why he was not aware of the existence of the other monsters…

Boom!

Roar!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Squawk!

The fight between the two monsters was fierce and exciting because they hit each other hard every step of the way. Each of their clashes created a storm. Sometimes it could blow trees in the area away. The monsters around them cheered on them as if they knew how to cheer on a boxing fight…

"This is indeed the fight of the high-level monsters. It's like a heavyweight boxing match, I guess," Zheng-Fu said with a smile while watching the match with pleasure…

The reason why Zheng-Fu had to stay and watch the fight was that the battlefield was on his way to the center of the forest. If he wanted to continue the journey, he had to take another route, which would take him to a countless number of high-level monsters. So, he had to wait for the match to end…

Bang!

After many shichens had passed, the fight ended. It seemed like the monster that looked like an elephant had won. But it was not that clear because the winner looked pretty much injured. However, the other one lost one of its arms but remained alive…

"I guess it's finished? Sigh! Finally! I thought it would never end!"

As Zheng-Fu was about to finish the sentence, the next pair stepped forward and started to fight. They were smaller than the first pair, which meant that their energy levels were lower…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"What's going on here!? Is this some kind of monster fighting tournament?" Zheng-Fu, who was delighted to continue the journey, started to get upset as he saw the next pair of monsters starting to fight. But since he could not do anything about it, he just had to sit down and watch…

"Fine! I hope they enjoy fighting one another. I'll probably just do some cultivation while I wait for them to finish." Zheng-Fu took out fifty immortal-level Qi energy stones after finishing the sentence. Then he started to absorb the energy. Jin-Tian, on the other hand, watched the fight and looked out for Zheng-Fu…

Boom!

"Phew! Next level accomplished!" Zheng-Fu said while opening his eyes slowly…

After absorbing about thirty Qi energy stones, Zheng-Fu moved up to the next level. He was now on the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage. Before he reached the new level, he was at the peak of the previous level, so it did not take him that long to achieve the next level. However, he used up a lot of immortal-level Qi energy stones in doing so…

Thirty immortal-level Qi energy stones were not something small at all. If it was not for his Cave of the Immortals, Zheng-Fu could not imagine when he would be able to get to this latest energy level…

After feeling pleased with the new energy level for a while, Zheng-Fu looked up ahead of him and saw that the monsters were still fighting. He had to crinkle his eyebrows because it had been overnight…

"How long are they going to fight? Darn it! How am I going to get to the center of the forest now?" Zheng-Fu started to curse the monsters, but that was the only thing he could do. The new energy level improved his sensory detecting skill, so he knew more clearly the energy levels that those monsters possessed. That was the reason why he could only curse at them…

There were about sixty monsters next to the battlefield on each side. Each of them possessed a similar energy level. The two monsters seemed to be stronger than they were. Zheng-Fu guessed that they were the leaders of each side. One led the Elephant Monster. The other led the blue monster…
