Chapter 201: This is the true Five Elements Sect; your Five (hang) Sect is not orthodox_2

Just as he was considering making a move, Gu Shanhai suddenly turned his head to see a huge centipede emerging from the forest. Its pitch-black shell and the intermittent pulses of mana being emitted were proof that it was a demon beast.

"Let me think, a Black Mud Centipede, right? This thing is quite venomous, but to grow this big, it must have lived at least a thousand years. The ecosystem here is really not bad." Gu Shanhai wasn't worried about it at all.

In the Xuanji Realm, a thousand-year-old demon beast was roughly equivalent to a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator. The difference between wild beasts and demon beasts is whether they have mana.

Usually, demon beasts are lucky enough to survive after devouring some natural treasures, which is how they accidentally develop mana and gradually increase it over time.

Essentially, they're just a bit bigger than normal wild beasts, a bit stronger, and completely brainless.
