At the Bao Islands, in the suite of a certain hotel…
On the spacious bed, two white meat worms were rolling around.
All kinds of indescribable noises echoed in the room. The scene was so hot it was comparable to the adult videos from Japan.
Suddenly, the woman let out a horrified scream. Her body stiffened, her eyes suddenly losing all signs of life. Her skin seemed dehydrated, quickly withering.
After a short while, Wang Bo crawled up from above the woman’s body with a disgusted expression. An evil light flashed across his eyes, and a thick aura of vengeance erupting from his body, nearly tearing his skin open.
Wang Bo creased his brow. A flash of red light shone in his eyes. The aura of vengeance suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“How is this human’s body so weak? I only replenished yin energy nine times and there’s already signs of breaking down. A pity that it will be much more difficult for me if I want to take over another body, otherwise…”
A brutal glint shone in his eyes. He looked at his naked body in extreme disdain, then let out a soft sigh helplessly.
Wang Bo looked at the woman’s dried up corpse on the bed once more. With a snap of his fingers, a black flame suddenly appeared and fell onto the woman’s corpse, burning it into faint ash in the blink of an eye.
In the next moment, he waved his hand. A slight breeze seemed to blow through the room. The ashes on the bed automatically rolled off, scattered to every corner in the room, not leaving any traces behind.
Well, there were traces… of a few stains on the bed, looking very eye-catching.
Wang Bo had an expressionless look as he slowly put on his clothes. He opened the door and walked out. On his way, it was like no one noticed his presence.
“The human world is really strange. It’s completely different from the records left behind in ancient times. I actually can’t sense my other clones! It seems like it will be difficult for me to complete my plan,” Wang Bo mumbled softly as he walked out of the hotel lobby, blending into the sea of crowd.

Zhang Che’s eyes were agape, in disbelief of what he was seeing.
Originally, he thought the Umbra Wind God Leopard’s teeth would break. Instead, the exotic beast’s corpse was immediately covered in a mysterious energy at the neck when the little fellow bit down. The scales and flesh melted mysteriously, turning into a mass of pure energy, and was drawn into the Umbra Wind God Leopard’s mouth.
“Meow!…” the little thing cried out happily. Zhang Che’s legs went limp from fright, nearly falling on the ground.
“This is hopeless… What are you exactly? A dog or a cat?”
This fellow was obviously a young nine-star super divine-quality powerful exotic beast. When did it learn to wag its tail like a dog, and meow like a cat?
This made no sense. It truly made no sense!
Of course, these were but tiny matters. No matter how eccentric this little fellow’s actions were, nothing was more shocking than the abilities he had displayed.
This fellow was only at two-star gold-quality at present, and its skills weren’t even awakened yet. Why did it possess such a terrifying ability?
It directly turned the corpse of an epic-quality exotic beast into energy and absorbed it in full, not wasting a single hair of the corpse!
Even epic-quality exotic beasts didn’t have such abilities, right?
Indeed, a super divine-quality exotic beast was that extraordinary!
As he sighed in admiration, Zhang Che watched as the Umbra Wind God Leopard’s little mouth opened wide, quickly melting the exotic beast’s corpse from the neck down. Every part of the body was turned into a mass of pure energy, and was swallowed into that little body in big mouthfuls.
Not even five minutes later, the unknown exotic beast with a body length of over fifty meters was fully turned into energy, all swallowed into the Umbra Wind God Leopard’s stomach.
Zhang Che looked at the Umbra Wind God Leopard’s stomach in horror. It seemed a little more swollen than before?
However, he wasn’t paying attention before. He didn’t know if it was like that from the start.
“Compared to this little thing, what does my appetite count for? What is a glutton? This is!”
Zhang Che’s horizons were truly widened!
Despite the corpse being turned into energy, the Umbra Wind God Leopard had to eat for five minutes before he devoured the whole thing. It went to show how strong the exotic beast was.
Even so, after the little fellow was done eating, he only did a little burp, not feeling bloated at all. Afterwards, he charged over with renewed effort to the other exotic beast’s corpse and bit down.
“This fellow’s appetite is really huge! I’m afraid this time it won’t take five minutes, right?”
It was like Zhang Che could visualize the second corpse turning into a mass of pure energy and sucked into the little fellow’s stomach.
However, in the next moment, a crisp snapping sound rang out, shocking Zhang Che. He nearly jumped from fright.
He saw the Umbra Wind God Leopard chewing happily on a mouthful of the exotic beast’s flesh mixed with scales. Zhang Che was thoroughly dumbstruck.
This little fellow might be small, but it had many tricks!
Could it be that just absorbing the energy didn’t have much taste, and now he wanted to eat it with the original flavor and experience the delicious flesh and blood?
But, if he ate like this, how long would he take to finish eating the whole corpse?
Seeing the Umbra Wind God Leopard eating happily, Zhang Che couldn’t help but rush him, “Don’t waste any time. Quickly finish it. We still have to rush for time.”
“Wuwu…”, the little fellow looked back and rolled his eyes at Zhang Che. Afterwards, he went back to biting down at the corpse, but this time, he didn’t chew, and instead swallowed the flesh directly.
Although not much of the corpse’s flesh was bitten with every bite, the huge corpse quickly shrank. After only about ten minutes, that gigantic corpse that weighed close to a hundred tons was cleaned up by the Umbra Wind God Leopard!
This time, he definitely finished eating the corpse!
After burping a few times more, the Umbra Wind God Leopard suddenly turned into a mass of light and directly flew back to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, laying silently underneath the rainbow crystal, unmoving.
“Sleeping right after eating… It looks like you’re neither a dog, nor a cat. You’re simply a freaking lazy pig!”
—
Zhang Che was originally looking forward to the Umbra Wind God Leopard ranking up in either level or quality. In the end, he returned to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea without any warning, and didn’t show any changes, either, leaving Zhang Che with a headache.
From now on, Zhang Che couldn’t depend on killing powerful demonic beasts to accumulate life energy for the Umbra Wind God Leopard. If he depended solely on feeding his pet, the Umbra Wind God Leopard’s appetite seemed a little too much; heavens knew how many exotic beasts with the same attributes he would have to eat to rank up?
Actually, Zhang Che wasn’t afraid of how big the Umbra Wind God Leopard’s appetite was. The crux of the matter was that the fellow seemed to be only interested in high-quality dark and wind attributed exotic beasts. It wouldn’t be easy to prepare food for him!
High-quality exotic beasts were already very rare. They even had to be dark and wind attributed. That was too much to ask!
“I remember there seemed to be more than two of those dark exotic beasts when they attacked the squadron..?” Zhang Che rolled his eyes, thinking. Afterwards, he quickly returned to Dijiang-hao, taking off into the sky. He circled around the area within a few thousand kilometers, hoping to attract the remaining dark exotic beasts to him.
However, after flying around in the area for an hour, Zhang Che discovered the remaining few dark exotic beasts seemed to have vanished into thin air, not finding a single one.
It was obvious the other dark exotic beasts were no longer active in this area.
Given the size of Mercury, it would be impossible for Zhang Che to find them without great luck, even if he had three or five years’ time to do so.
—
Left without a choice, Zhang Che could only give up on this idea. He changed his direction and continued on his way to his original destination of Cang Long City.
Proper matters were more important. First he’d raise his beastmaster tier to Tier Seven, then think about these matters.
In any case, even if he slew the remaining few dark exotic beasts, Zhang Che guessed that the Umbra Wind God Leopard might not become much stronger.
The higher the potential an exotic beast had, the more difficult it was for it to rank up!
Zhang Che wasn’t counting on the little fellow to have any significant increase in strength within the near future.
That was totally impossible.

At the Bao Islands…
Wang Bo sat in his room. On the television, news was being reported.
“Next we’ll report a piece of news: according to our city’s Public Safety Office under the City Administrative Hall, in recent days, nine young women have gone missing in the city.
“After investigations from the Public Safety Office’s investigators, the nine women were found to have a point in common shortly before their disappearances: they used their identity cards to check into hotels.
“The next day, when the hotel’s staff were about to clean up, they discovered the women have gone missing, and the investigators from the Public Safety Office have discovered from the hotel’s surveillance that there were no records of them leaving their room.
“Here are the photos of the nine women. If any citizen discovers them, please contact the Public Safety Office right away.”
Wang Bo revealed a smile containing a hint of disdain at the corner of his lips. He turned off the television and stood up. “I’ve digested most of the energy. It’s time to look for the next prey!”
Meanwhile, in a conference room in Yapeng City’s Public Safety Office, the nine missing women’s information were shown on the screen on the wall.
A middle-aged man with a squarish face, wearing a black uniform, turned to look at a female police officer and said, “Xiaowen, let’s hear about the results of your lab tests.”
“Yes, Bureau Chief!”
The short-haired, capable and experienced Xiaowen stood up. She opened a file and introduced calmly, “The only common point between these nine missing cases was that in their respective hotel rooms, there were obvious traces of sexual intercourse on the bed sheet. After some lab tests, it was found that the traces only belonged to the women, and no other elements were found.
“So, for now, if we don’t obtain any new trails, there’s no way for us to continue investigating.”
Those in the conference room couldn’t help but feel shocked. Since there were traces of sexual intercourse, why was there only traces of the woman’s bodily fluids found?
Could it be that those women all checked into a hotel room alone to pleasure themselves and disappeared mysteriously afterwards?
What a joke! No one would believe that as the truth no matter how stupid they were!
This series of missing person cases seemed to be a really tricky one…
