The Master of Beasts-Chapter 578 - 146_2
Looking at the Curse Body Guard wrapped entirely in white cloth, with only two eyes showing, the Sand Ape King frowned and said, "A Curse Body Guard from the Xue Family?"
On the other side, the Sandstorm Scorpion King was also blocked by a Curse Body Guard, and the more powerful Earth King Snake faced two Curse Body Guards. Other Spiritual Beasts sent by Chen Jiuge were also stopped by Curse Body Guards.
Among them, the strongest from Curse State blocked seven or eight Two Flowers Celestial Immortal Spiritual Beasts alone, while the remaining disciples of the Thunder God Temple joined forces to form a formation to fend off the attack of those low-rank Spiritual Beasts, preventing these small creatures from affecting the battlefield.
....
Elsewhere,
Gu Zhengyu and the Dark Centipede Elder also fell into a crisis.
After having killed off Lei Mou who was pursuing them a few days ago, the two had relaxed a bit. It was this slight relaxation that made them not notice the changes around them.
The blue Flying Sword chopped an Earth Dragonet in half. Gu Zhengyu swayed, pursed his lips, feeling somewhat unwilling: "Is this the only way?"
Logically speaking, given the distance between the Death Dark Zone and the First Exploration City, they should have reached their destination two days ago. But in reality, they hadn’t.
The experienced Dark Centipede Elder guessed that the two of them accidentally entered a Space Fragment.
Thereafter, countless Earth Dragonets attacked maniacally. To prevent their foundations from being cut off, the two didn’t dare absorb the Spiritual Energy here, fearing the road ahead would be completely blocked.
"Forget it, forget it, it’s all fate!" The Dark Centipede Elder lying behind Gu Zhengyu sighed with a gray face.
A violent Spiritual Energy storm appeared in the sky, and the Dark Centipede Elder began to absorb Spiritual Energy wildly, restoring the immortal power within.
A huge dark purple centipede appeared before himself and Gu Zhengyu, its ferocious legs constantly pierced down, chilling each Earth Dragonet to the bone.
"Dark Centipede, you?" Gu Zhengyu exclaimed in shock.
For a Cultivator, having their path cut off is a fate far worse than death. This is why Gu Zhengyu, even facing death, refused to absorb the Spiritual Energy here.
"My talent is already not high, achieving Three Flowers is already fortunate. Becoming a Golden Immortal seems unlikely. You saved my life once, this time I’ll repay you." The Dark Centipede Elder said calmly.
In the previous battle with Lei Mou, the Dark Centipede Elder hadn’t anticipated his outburst. If not for the river of Sword Qi from Gu Zhengyu, he might have died on the spot.
Gu Zhengyu, with a complex expression, bowed in gratitude. It was hard to believe that the Dark Centipede Elder, a Cultivator who achieved great fame as a Loose Cultivator, had no hope of breaking through to Golden Immortal.
It’s worth noting that Tian Yue’s master, the Five Mountains Venerable, achieved Golden Immortal status as a Loose Cultivator before later joining the Five Elements Sect as a Guest Elder.
"Boom boom boom!"
These Earth Dragonets were only at the True Immortal First Layer Heaven in terms of cultivation, and if not for their sheer numbers, they wouldn’t pose much of a threat to the duo.
With the massive restoration of Spiritual Energy, the Purple Centipede Divine Power of the Dark Centipede Elder became increasingly ferocious, and the number of Earth Dragonets began to dwindle!
"Roar!"
Just as the two were about to escape from danger, a resonant dragon roar echoed, and an extremely majestic Earth Dragon soared across the sky.
Its yellow scales were distinct and defined, and its slender dragon body was like the most beautiful scenery in the world. The imposing and majestic dragon head exuded infinite majesty, and the two hanging dragon whiskers added a sense of solemnity.
"Humans?" The Yellow Dragon said absentmindedly.
"True Dragon!" "True Dragon!"
Gu Zhengyu and the Dark Centipede Elder exclaimed in unison!
Indeed, Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow are considered the ultimate delicacies. Many believe True Dragons and Phoenixes are not strong, but those served on plates are indeed such, but they are not True Dragons or Pure Blood Phoenixes.
A real True Dragon matures as a Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal, and those with slightly better talent are Golden Immortals. Such extreme talent is what makes the Dragon Clan one of the top three races in the Demon Clan.
"How ignorant." The Yellow Dragon looked at the two with some disdain.
The overpowering Dragon Power made the two tremble all over, and as for those Earth Dragonets, they had long since prostrated on the ground, motionless.
"Humans, tell me what time it is now. This king inadvertently broke out of the True Realm and doesn’t know how long it’s been." The Yellow Dragon said with some emotion.
"Broke out of the True Realm?"
The Dark Centipede Elder and Gu Zhengyu glanced at each other, their eyes full of shock. Without some special means, a Golden Immortal could not break out of the True Realm. Could it be that this True Dragon was a Daluo?
The massive body of the Yellow Dragon coiled up like a python and stood like a small mountain in front of the two.
The long dragon whiskers drooped a bit listlessly to the ground, and the Yellow Dragon listlessly said, "Give me something to eat, something to drink. It’s been so many years, and I’m sick of eating these little earthworms every day!"
The Dark Centipede Elder and Gu Zhengyu exchanged glances and cautiously took out Spirit Food from their Storage Rings.
After a cultivator reaches the Fourth Rank, they can start fasting, but this doesn’t mean they stop eating altogether.
On the contrary, cultivators crave gourmet food more than ordinary people. Not only can spirit food accelerate cultivation, it also brings a sense of pleasure that is irreplaceable.
The spirit food that Dark Centipede Elder brought out was scarce, just some dried meat, but there was plenty of Spiritual Wine.
Gu Zhengyu was quite the opposite; after all, being with Chen Jiuge, if nothing else, spiritual beast meat was always filling!
All the spirit food piled up into a small mountain of meat several meters high, and Yellow Dragon said disdainfully, "Just this much?"
Dark Centipede Elder gave an awkward smile and thought, considering the size difference between us, having this much is already pretty good.
Sighing, Yellow Dragon transformed into a refined middle-aged scholar.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Yellow Dragon twisted his body and complained, "They say human form is the path’s body form, but this path’s body form eats way too slowly."
The two looked at each other, unsure what to say. Fortunately, Yellow Dragon was just venting and didn’t expect a reply.
Spreading his arms, his mouth stretched to his ears, teeth turning into fangs, he swallowed a head-sized chunk of meat in one gulp.
"Ah, this feeling, it’s like being alive again!"
Yellow Dragon sighed in satisfaction, casually patting the Earth Dragon coiled beside him.
Blood and meat flew everywhere, drenching the two, but they didn’t dare to move.
"With wine and meat, how can there be no stories? Tell me how you both ended up here."
"If it’s interesting, I might not eat you!"
Yellow Dragon’s words instantly terrified them, almost making them forget that Yellow Dragon was a fierce beast.
The stories in the mortal world about the True Dragon as the emperor’s totem, these don’t mean that the True Dragon and humans are close.
In reality, the Dragon Clan only liked human blood sacrifices and beauties.
Being the path’s body form, the Human Clan possesses spiritual attributes that others don’t, and the offspring between the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan also have great potential.
Gu Zhengyu glanced unwillingly at Yellow Dragon before finally letting his blue long sword dissipate in despair.
If this is a Daluo-level True Dragon, if we provoke him, even the Five Elements Sect will be in big trouble.
"I hope we’re not too late."
With a long sigh, Gu Zhengyu began to slowly recount the previous events.
...
Gold-loving Ant Nest
Chen Jiuge closed his eyes, constantly receiving the visions of spiritual beasts monitoring the Gravel Forest. Although many scouting spiritual beasts were lost in the process, it was still worth it.
"Snap"
As the last Spirit Eye Mouse died, Chen Jiuge lost the situation over at the Gravel Forest.
His face was full of exhaustion. Opening his eyes, Chen Jiuge sighed, "I still underestimated Thunder God Temple."
"What happened?" Qiu Ruo, who was always attentive, immediately asked.
Chen Jiuge did not respond, instead inquired, "Where is Senior Brother Tian Yue?"
"That guy went to collect refined gold. Initially, he was disdainful, but now he’s quite happy," Qiu Ruo retorted.
Upon first learning that refined gold was Gold-loving Ant’s excrement, Tian Yue was very disdainful. But after wandering in the nest for a few days and roughly estimating the amount of refined gold, it became indeed appealing.
If Tian Yue knew Qiu Ruo’s thoughts, he would definitely protest innocence. Although Tian Yue apprenticed under the Five Mountains Venerable, who was a Loose Cultivator, even as a Golden Immortal, his income barely covered expenses. His cultivation required resources and his fellow disciples were also competing for resources. As a Guest Elder, the sect’s support was far less than for the actual Elders, so Tian Yue was quite poor!
"I see, please notify Senior Brother Tian Yue; we might need to go over there and take a look," Chen Jiuge nodded.
"Go over there?" Qiu Ruo exclaimed in surprise. Though others might not know how powerful Senior Brother Chen’s spiritual beasts are, Qiu Ruo, responsible for defensive placement, knew very well.
"Is Thunder God Temple’s offensive so strong this time? Aren’t they afraid of triggering another large-scale war?" Qiu Ruo frowned.
"Even Thunder God Temple, which looks down on the Alien Race the most, has begun to join forces with them; there’s no way they fear triggering a large-scale war," Chen Jiuge shook his head, realizing Qiu Ruo was still a bit naive.
