The Master of Beasts-Chapter 574 - 144:

"Ha ci" "Ha ci"

Two piercing sounds rang out, as Ye Cheng looked indifferently at the two struggling three-tailed sand cats pinned to the ground by the Blood Thunder Spear.

"Brother Ye!"

Glancing at the pitiful state of the disciple, Ye Cheng furrowed his brows and admonished, "You couldn’t even handle two Spiritual Beasts of One Flower Heavenly Immortal level, it seems the quality of Thunder God Temple’s elite disciples is getting worse."

"Deal with this here, the blood and flesh of the Heavenly Immortal Spiritual Beast is somewhat valuable."

Retrieving the Blood Thunder Spear, Ye Cheng flew towards another area with intense spiritual energy fluctuations.

After a long time, the disciple dared to lift his head: "Brother Ye’s cultivation is getting stronger, probably not far from Golden Immortal, but what does that have to do with me."

Gently stroking the soft fur of the three-tailed sand cat, the disciple’s eyes flickered as he thought, "Keeping some blood and flesh shouldn’t be a problem, Brother Ye of that level probably wouldn’t care about this spiritual beast’s blood and flesh!"

"Hiss hiss hiss"

The Thunder God Temple disciple, just about to cut some flesh to taste, was startled by a sharp sound: "What’s that sound!"

"Splat"

A huge pit appeared on the ground, the Thunder God Temple disciple and the two three-tailed sand cats vanished from the spot, leaving behind a massive rift, but it was soon covered by the sandstorm.

.....

"I am not resigned!"

Yun Ze looked at the transparent blood hole in his chest, his distinguished face full of unwillingness.

He was an elite disciple of the Thunder God Temple, a famed genius of the Yun Family, how could he fall at the hands of a Spiritual Beast!

The Sandstorm Scorpion King, transformed into a giant man, reached out to recall the Scorpion Tail Stinger, covering half of the black-armored large face, and smirked: "Not resigned, what does it have to do with me, another prime piece of flesh!"

The scorpion tail extending from the spine wrapped around Yun Ze’s corpse, relishing the delicious aroma, the Sandstorm Scorpion King’s mouth opened to a shocking degree, and swallowed the corpse whole!

"Delicious!"

"Courting death!"

"Boom"

Blood-colored thunder fell like torrential rain, instantly erasing half of the troublesome scorpion swarm that had been a nuisance to Yun Ze.

Ye Cheng’s indifferent face showed a hint of anger; Yun Ze was not like those previous miserable elite disciples, he was a disciple of the Yun Family, which supported him.

But now, his supporter was eaten by a beast right in front of him, which was making Ye Cheng’s emotions explosive!

"Where is he?"

After circling the area several times in search, there was no trace of even a hair of the Sandstorm Scorpion King.

After a standoff lasting thirty minutes, Ye Cheng shouted angrily, unleashing endless blood thunder again, but there was still no change, Ye Cheng said with an iron-blue face: "Forget it."

Ye Cheng left, but the Sandstorm Scorpion King in the void remained motionless.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Ye Cheng returned, sweeping over every inch with his violent divine sense, yet still found nothing, leaving unwillingly.

After hiding for most of the day, the Sandstorm Scorpion King cautiously emerged from the void, this concealment technique was its innate divine ability, Sand Hidden Space, able to create an independent void space to hide itself, if not for the space being too small, Chen Jiuge might not have been willing to use the Sandstorm Scorpion King as a consumable.

Cradling the cracked scorpion tail, the Sandstorm Scorpion King touched its head painfully, then fiercely vowed: "Damn bastard, dared to injure my king’s tail, you’re dead."

"But that guy’s cultivation is a bit high, I wonder who would be good to join forces with, Sand Ape King, Black Widow, and that annoying old eagle, right, that gluttonous snake must be called in too."

......

"Boom"

The dense beast swarm was blasted into a pile of fragments and charcoal by the thunder, showing Ye Cheng’s very bad mood!

"Brother Ye." Two Thunder God Temple disciples who were quite heavily injured respectfully greeted him.

"Only you two left huh?" Ye Cheng looked around, his expression even worse.

"These beasts are too numerous, though most were Seventh Rank and Eighth Rank, there were still quite a few True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal level ones."

"Gather the valuable materials before leaving." Ye Cheng instructed, then flew straight up into the sky.

"Yes."

As the two Thunder God Temple disciples collected materials, one lamented, "Sigh, didn’t expect such a simple mission would result in so many fellow disciples dying."

The other disciple said somewhat unrelatedly: "Do you feel something’s not right?"

"What’s not right?"

"I feel kinda cold."

"Crash!"

Suddenly, a gigantic creature burst out from underground, its enormous snake mouth covering the two of them.

At this critical moment, countless blood-red spears wrapped in thunder fell from the sky.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The long spears tore through the heavy scale armor, and the Earth King Snake let out a painful scream.

Seeing that the food was about to escape from its mouth, the Earth King Snake endured the pain and moved forward a small step, managing to swallow one of them whole.

"Damn beast!"

Ye Cheng roared in fury, massive thunderbolts swirling around him, coalescing into a giant blood thunder figure a hundred zhang tall, and a war spear a hundred and fifty zhang long fell towards the Earth King Snake.

Seeing it could no longer finish off the remaining delicacy, the Earth King Snake regretfully glanced at the terrified Thunder God Temple disciple, as the surrounding sand swiftly covered its body like a living thing.

After one strike, the Earth King Snake had completely disappeared, leaving only a large hole on the verge of being filled.

Looking at the blood left on the ground, Ye Cheng’s expression was grim: "It actually ran away."

"Brother Ye, what was that thing just now?" The only Thunder God Temple disciple who survived asked in terror.

"Earth King Snake, one of the few local Half-God Beasts in the Golden Desert."

"Half-God Beast!"

Ye Cheng ignored the disciple, silently sighing in his heart: "It seems I need to seek support; the Xue Family will have to contribute this time as well."

The Earth King Snake, a local Half-God Beast in the Golden Desert, received such absurd boosts here that despite having only the strength of a Two Flowers Celestial Immortal, it could withstand Ye Cheng’s One Strike Divine Power without dying and slipped away, posing a great threat to ordinary Thunder God Temple disciples.

Elsewhere, the Earth King Snake, having fled many routes away, sneakily poked out its large head, and seeing no threats around, transformed into the appearance of a little girl and surfaced.

Looking at the few-inch-long wound on her arm, the Earth King Snake pitifully dropped small pearls: "Humph, it was just for a bite to eat, yet they dared to hit me; it hurts so much!"

"No, I need to find the boss, this place is too dangerous, it’s better to run away."

Unlike other Spiritual Beasts, the Earth King Snake is the most valued by Chen Jiuge, and naturally, it won’t casually form a contract; it can sense Chen Jiuge’s location, and it was originally supposed to be lying comfortably in the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm.

However, this little guy is a bit playful, and its strength in the Golden Desert is a bit cheeky, so much so that even a Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal struggles to threaten its life, allowing Chen Jiuge to let it roam freely.

"Who’s there!"

"Earth King Snake, it’s me!"

The newcomer was the Sandstorm Scorpion King, a giant man a zhang tall, holding his tail, clearly showing signs of injury from before.

"Why are you holding your tail? Eh, you’re hurt?" The Earth King Snake curiously circled the Sandstorm Scorpion King.

Pointing at the blood-dripping scorpion tail, the pained Sandstorm Scorpion King twitched, finding it amusing: "Someone actually injured you, let me guess, it must be that guy with the Blood Thunder!"

Suppressing the pain, the Sandstorm Scorpion King wasn’t bothered by the Earth King Snake’s skittishness and said gravely: "Alliance?"

"Hmm?"

"We team up and take down that little red devil!" The Sandstorm Scorpion King said somewhat ferociously.

Looking at her own arm, the Earth King Snake didn’t refuse: "We can take him down, but the two of us alone can’t beat him."

"Of course, it’s not just us; I’ve already talked to the Sand Ape King, and next we’ll settle the Black Widow, then the four of us can definitely take him down!" The Sandstorm Scorpion King said viciously.

"You deal with the Black Widow first before saying that." The Earth King Snake wasn’t keen on interacting with the Black Widow, feeling that flirtatious monster was simply nauseating.

"Fine."

Seeing the Earth King Snake didn’t refuse, the Sandstorm Scorpion King showed a slight smile, his body slowly sinking into the ground.

.....

"Can it really be here?" Qiu Ruo curiously looked towards this unique ant nest.

"Of course, this is the nest of Gold-loving Ants; even if a Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal breaks in here, it wouldn’t necessarily escape alive," Chen Jiuge said confidently.

The resources consumed to cultivate this Gold-loving Ant nest were immense, and combined with their unique abilities and sheer numbers, it is one of the safest places in the Golden Desert.

Of course, the premise is that the Gold-loving Ant Queen is willing to let someone hide here.

Picking up a few pieces of almost blindingly bright gold blocks, Tian Yue was pleasantly surprised: "Refined Gold? And so much of it?"

Refined Gold is one of the most important auxiliary materials for refining Immortal Weapons; nearly every Immortal Weapon has Refined Gold in it.

"Yes, this is the excrement of the Gold-loving Ants," Chen Jiuge said casually.

This statement startled Qiu Ruo into instantly backing away from the Refined Gold, and Tian Yue frantically tossed the Refined Gold away, constantly wiping his hands.
