Chapter 380: Two Great Mystical Beasts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Forget about how to enter Zilong City; despite being anxious, Yun Yang felt an odd sense of relief at the same time.
A trap.
Since it was a trap, then there must be a need for bait!
Yun Yang was fully confident that the bait managed to snare his interest was still in existence; if not, how they would dare to set up such a trap! Otherwise, it would be totally impossible to do so.
If the bait was already, why discuss the trap? With that in mind, Yun Yang was relieved about Old Dugu now.
Did you think that I cannot enter?
Would I be caught once I stepped in?
How naïve!
Looking at the city gate from afar, it was seemingly ordinary. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that it was lashed with the crisscrossed deific consciousness. A flicker of amusement flashed across Yun Yang’s eyes.
Within the vicinity stood a mountain forest, two thousand miles away from Zilong City.
Here, the mountains were seamlessly connected; within sight was the lavish forest, with little trace of human imprints.
It was because of this that this place had become the paradise of mystical beasts.
Of course, this place was also the paradise of beast hunters, traders, and bounty hunters.
As the saying went, heaven and hell were mere neighbors. Yet, here, it was a textbook-like manifestation of those words.
Every day, countless mystical beast hunters entered this section of the forest with an array of objectives.
However, every day, there were countless mysterious beast hunters that fall within these woods.
When it came to the central position of this forest, only a brave few dared enter.
According to rumor, the ninth grade mystical beasts often appeared here and it could be deemed as an extremely dangerous place. Even the prestigious grandmaster with the level of Tenth Perfection would have had concerns over their lives. Naturally, the average warrior would keep themselves at arm's length.
Everyone was just hunting for animals, preying on mystical beasts, and to bring several low-leveled mystical beasts back; just enough to make ends meet. For those who were lucky, by bringing those mystical beast cubs back for sale, a lot of money could exchange hands within a short period of time.
The mystical beast cubs had always been famous in the buyer's market. Even if it was only a third or fourth class mystical beast, it would earn favor in the noble’s market.
Mystical beasts were innately spiritual and were originally much smarter than ordinary beasts. If it was being trained well domestically, its intelligence was comparable to that of a seven-year-old child. It had long been a popular trend among the aristocrats in various countries and a means of comparison to rear a pretty and obedient beast. It was also a challenge to equip said beast with a certain degree of attacking power.
Yun Yang spent three hours making inquiries, before changing into the form of wind and quietly sneaked into this piece of the jungle; advancing forward without any constraints, aiming at the most dangerous area!
With Yun Yang's current cultivation, his ability to transform into different forms, to cross over the jungle, including the deepest and most dangerous places, was an easy feat.
Two hours later, the two ninth-level beginner mystical beasts who were living as neighbors, displeased among themselves, had already been defeated by Yun Yang.
There was a wholly colorful, forty-feet thick, giant python. It was more than two hundred feet long, a giant python. The other casualty included an eighty-foot tall black bear, as robust as the city wall. They could be seen splayed before the feet of Yun Yang.
The bodies of the bear and a snake, two high-leveled mystical beasts, were shivering. Their fierce glances held no hint of rebellion, only the boundless color of fear.
The black bear and python were unanimously impressed; I have never seen such a fierce person in my life!
Among the two ace-grade mystical beasts, the first that was to suffer the calamity was the black bear.
The Niello Bear was one of the only two hegemonies in this jungle. As long as there was no provocation from rivals, its only habit was to sunbath contentedly, and to ‘exercise’ with some beautiful female bears.
However, today, the stars of misfortune had arrived from the sky. The black bear that was sunbathing pleasantly suddenly felt a shadow cross before its eyes and saw a human land in front of it.
The first impression of Niello Bear had was that he thought its vision had been blurred, or maybe it was because of the sunbathing that was too comfortable that had led him into the dream. It had to be a sweet dream. If not, how could its favorite food appear before the side of its mouth?
It swung it's impressively strong arms in a massive swipe; however, it was this slap that had instigated the prelude of the bear’s tragedy.
That scene was simply too awful to recall!
The human facing the attack of the bear’s paw did not retreat but rushed forward instead, running into close combat. The Niello Bear had yet to indicate that it was not ready, its left eye had been heavily punched. The strength of the punch caused stars to swim before its eyes.
The punches kept coming, until the seven thousand and three hundred catties of the Niello Bear shuddered, bellowing in pain.
The bear was bewildered.
Are you a human?
How could your strength be even greater than mine?
This delicacy is not one that's easily savored!
The Niello Bear was waiting to form a counterattack while trying to win over the delicacy before it; it saw the figure wading in for the attack for the second time, grabbing the black bear and giving it a vicious hit!
All the punches that connected with flesh were only at its lowest grade, they were simply punches that were heavier than the ones before, a punch more vicious than the other, a punch crueler than the other, penetrating the heart and lungs. The pain came in waves, crashing one after another!
After a round of punches and kicks, the black bear was completely beaten into unconsciousness. Until then, it simply clutched its head and clenched its buttocks stiffly, hoping to rely on its rough skin to endure this cruel attack!
However, the other's tyrannical torture, was, to its surprise, seemingly without an end. After a few more times, the bear felt as if its eyes had been beaten to point of being painfully swollen.
Until now, the bear was still in bewilderment.
It could not speak, it could only groan in pain. It could hardly understand, why was it so?
Why was it so?
When did I offend you?
Why did you hit me?
Even if I wanted to eat you, and was already preparing to do so, I didn't get to do it. Did you have to go so far as to treat me in such a way?
You almost took my life!
This delicacy was truly not a human at all. With just a single kick to the stomach, it flew up in the air involuntarily.
Flying has always been the skill that I have been longing for.
However, there are many ways to fly.
I was unwilling, in any case, to fly in such a manner; flying because I've been beaten!
Even as it flew several hundred feet through the sky, it was kicked, feeling as if its internal organs had rearranged themselves, giving birth to the feeling of vomiting for the first time.
The torture repeated itself, again and again, for a couple of times. After a series of seventeen to eighteen kicks, along with a loud bang, the Niello Bear once again felt it's feet on the earth. Actually, it was the feeling of having its entire body grounded!
The feeling wasn't right. There should have been a shock to have the body grounded; there should be a feeling of being jolted back to earth. Why does it feel like I've landed on something soft and comfortable? The bear then opened its eyes to have a look and came to realize that beneath it was a dozen large pythons that had formed its own buffering zone. Of course, it was game over for all these pythons that had been crushed to death!
Although it had not been the Niello Bear's intention to kill all these pythons, the bear's first perception was bewilderment. Gosh, I have been trumped all the way to my enemy's territory?
It was a moot point for now. Behind him was a vicious delicacy, and before him was its deadly rival who would end its life. After being fiercely beaten, it had not much strength remaining. There was no surviving chance before and behind it. Was it destined to die?
As expected from the usual magical prediction of the bear, a fizzing sound could be heard beside him. The second of two top mystical beasts in the area, the Moire Python, fiercely rushed out.
The Moire Python seemed to be hissing its fury. Hey bear, are you seeking death? How dare you come into my territory?
For many years, we have shared our mutual peace with each other. Not that I did not wish to get you; we were just unable to defeat each other. Hence, we both would, occasionally, after too much consumption of food and in order to digest it, fight to interact with each other and to create a commotion. Defending the current authority was enough. However, did you not eat your medicine, eaten the wrong medicine, eaten fake medicine? Let alone the fact that you have brought pandemonium into the whole jungle, you had even broken into my house, crushing a number of my beloved wives to death by landing on them!
If this was tolerable, there is nothing in this world which is intolerable!
If this was tolerable, even a python would not be able to tolerate it!
With a hush, the Moire Python then opened its huge mouth, all ready to give its rival an unforgettable lesson!
Judging by the bear's current physical condition, there was absolutely no room to avoid the strike. Chances were high that it would fall immediately, without much of a struggle.
However, at the critical moment, the Moire Python's body, which had its power accumulated, stiffened in an instant. Someone had caught hold of the Moire Python's tail, to its surprise.
Without having time to consider what had actually happened, it suddenly felt itself being lifted up!
While flying forward rapidly, it ended its flight with a shattering crash. The head of the Moire Python became the first that came into contact with the landing point, and the landing target, shockingly, was----
The Niello Bear's eyes widened in a terrified way as it looked at the vicious delicacy who could be seen grasping the tail of the Moire Python with one hand. It swung the two-hundred feet long Moire Python like a whip, turning it around in the air and then lashed it out in the bear's direction.
What happened afterward was tragic. The heads of the bear and the snake came into an unprecedented close contact with each other. The two beasts felt utterly dizzy, a blinding headache came upon them. The first impact that the black bear felt made it seem like it's whole body was like a huge baseball, which had been thrown outwards rapidly. However, he managed to catch glimpses of the terrifying delicacy. No, it was the terrifying human-like monster who was clutching the newly formed python whip. It was flying swiftly, lashing out with the snake, creating flashes of lightning that thundered repetitively.
Yun Yang vented and exhausted all his depression, frustration and other negative emotions which had accumulated for all this period of time. When he finally stopped, the Niello Bear was lying on the ground, it's limbs splayed out in every direction. It had since earlier been out of breath, almost dying. Within its two huge eyeballs, the fear of collapsing could be seen, and it did not dare to make a single move.
The newly formed Moire Python whip had already been discarded. If had fared worse than the bear if that was even possible, lying on the ground gasping for air in difficulty, coughing and occasionally spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. What was even more deadly was the dizziness in its head. Despite being back on the ground, it could still feel as if the whole world was spinning around it.
Vomit.
This time around, the Moire Python opened its mouth, spitting out a wad of emerald green substance.
Has he shattered my snake's bile?
