Chapter 372: Chapter 372
As soon as he finished speaking, A’ye suddenly looked up.
Out of nowhere, a violent, cold-blooded snake Beastman descended from the sky, breaking through the roof to appear in the room.
The cold-blooded snake Beastman, Si Wang, his body surging with lightning, appeared as a god of death from hell at this moment. Electricity flickered at the corners of his eyes. It was a kind of terror that made one’s soul tremble.
"Where is Si Yan?" Si Wang’s gaze was as dark as the deep night, with tumultuous waves seemingly roaring in his pupils.
A’ye narrowed his eyes, surprised. "You’ve made a breakthrough to Jin Jing."
Even as a Purple Crystal, the cold-blooded snake Beastman Si Wang had already made Jin Jing Beastmen shiver.
Moreover, this time, because the Black Priest had kidnapped Si Yan right before his eyes, he was profoundly shaken. In his anxiety, he no longer suppressed his Beast Crystal and, in one breath, advanced to Jin Jing!
The old wounds in his body had only half-recovered. Because he upgraded his Beast Crystal, the old wounds worsened. The power within his body was quickly draining, leaving him once again in a precarious state where his energy expenditure far exceeded his reserves. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel⚑fire.net
However, his strength was growing exponentially!
In an instant, he drew close to A’ye, his hand, charged with a strong current, gripping A’ye’s elegant neck.
A’ye still firmly held the Dragon Egg.
The nearly out-of-control snake Beastman, brimming with boundless rage, said, "Speak! Where is Si Yan?!"
"You care about her a lot?" A’ye spoke.
A’ye had to admit that, as a Beastman, the purple snake Beastman before him was exceptional.
The snake Beastman’s hand tightened again. A murderous aura burst forth. His voice, low and rough, was filled with boundless violence. "If you don’t return Si Yan to me, I’ll make you regret coming into this world!"
In an instant, the sly old fox A’ye flashed to one side, still firmly hugging the Dragon Egg.
The snake Beastman’s body moved faster, instantly flashing towards A’ye. However, A’ye easily dodged him this time.
Si Wang was incredibly fast, like a flash of lightning. Yet the fox Beastman before him was even faster.
The four cubs stood back-to-back, on guard!
"Ye Shen Ming Jiu! You’ve actually been hiding here!!" Si Wang roared.
The most dangerous place is the safest? Ye Shen Ming Jiu has been under my very nose this whole time!
Old Gecko stepped into the room, and a terrifying force invaded the modest space!
The high-speed movement came to a sudden stop.
Si Wang stared coldly and fiercely at the fox Beastman before him, watching as the fox Beastman slowly transformed.
His hunched back straightened, his spine becoming erect, his stature tall and slender. His well-defined abdominal muscles evidenced his strength. His hair gradually turned black, the wrinkles on his face fading bit by bit, his dark silver eyes becoming as deep as pools.
He gently patted the Dragon Egg in his arms, whispering, "There, there, don’t be afraid."
Then, he produced a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from nowhere and placed them on his nose.
"Beast God Long Ze, long time no see," he greeted the Beast God before him like an old friend.
Si Wang, along with the four cubs, eyed the Dragon Egg in his hands cautiously. With him holding the Dragon Egg, it was as if he had taken a hostage. Very dangerous.
Old Gecko said, "How about we sit down and talk?"
Ming Jiu, while comforting the Dragon Egg, said, "We can talk, but once we start, no fighting. It doesn’t matter if you startle me, but it would be unfortunate if you startle the Dragon Egg."
Si Wang and the cubs: "..."
An eerie silence fell over the small wooden cabin for a moment.
Old Gecko chuckled and asked, "Ming Jiu, as you can see, Si Wang and the cubs are all very worried about Si Yan. Why don’t you tell us where she is?"
Ming Jiu returned to his seat beside the bed, draped the beast skin over the Dragon Egg, and continued to incubate it.
"I don’t know where she is. Ming Ji doesn’t tell me his plans in advance. However, I can tell you that she’s safe. You can rest assured."
The snake Beastman, Si Wang, suddenly turned violent. He wished he could slaughter Ming Jiu.
Old Gecko held him back and questioned Ming Jiu, "We don’t believe that you don’t know where Si Yan is."
Ming Jiu looked up. "If you want to know where Si Yan is, that’s possible. One use of the Beast World’s Heart of the World in exchange for Si Yan."
Old Gecko retorted angrily, "In your dreams!"
Ming Jiu said, "Then forget it. Si Yan is the next Beast God. Your opinion is not important."
The cubs couldn’t see Old Gecko; they could only hear Ming Jiu seemingly talking to himself.
But Si Wang heard the entire exchange and said with a cold face, "Agreed."
Old Gecko exploded with anger, "What did you say? Si Wang, you have no right to decide about the Heart of the World!"
Si Wang simply stated, "As long as you return Si Yan to me, even if you wanted this world, I would give it to you."
Old Gecko was so furious his scales practically stood on end. Nothing but villains! This room is full of villains! he thought. I’m the only righteous one here. How am I supposed to fit in?
Openly robbing others of their prey was a common occurrence in the various small tribes at the foot of the snowy mountain.
The mammoth Beastman greedily eyed the meat in Ming Ji’s hands.
Ming Ji glanced at his own meat, then at the two male Beastmen before him.
Ming Ji’s lips curved into a nasty smile. "How can you prove this meat is yours?"
The mammoth Beastman stated, "Of course it’s ours! Damn it, you must have eaten our entire kill, leaving only this piece of meat! Hand over the meat honestly, Ming Ji, and maybe I’ll spare you."
"Spare me?" Ming Ji scoffed as if he had heard a joke. "Alright, come and get it."
The mammoth Beastman and the snow eagle Beastman approached greedily. They were starving. This piece of meat could at least fill their stomachs somewhat!
However, just as they were about to touch the meat, Ming Ji’s long leg lashed out!
The mammoth Beastman didn’t have time to react; the robust creature was sent flying, crashing into a tree.
He looks so thin, yet he’s so strong?! the mammoth Beastman thought in shock.
"You!" The snow eagle Beastman swooped in to peck at Ming Ji. Ming Ji kicked out again, sending the snow eagle Beastman flying as well!
The mammoth Beastman and the snow eagle Beastman immediately scrambled to their feet. Ming Ji had food. To these desperadoes, that food was incredibly important!
"Kill him!" the mammoth Beastman bellowed viciously. "Kill this Beastman, take his meat, and then we’ll eat him too!"
The snow eagle Beastman hovered in the air while the mammoth bared his huge tusks. The two Beastmen attacked Ming Ji together.
Si Yan slowly walked to the mouth of the cave, crossing her arms and watching Ming Ji fight. He had dared to assault the Divine Mountain alone, a place teeming with countless Beastmen, Priests, and even a Beast God. What were a few ordinary male Beastmen to him now?
At first, the mammoth Beastman and the snow eagle Beastman fought fiercely, but they couldn’t hold out for more than a few moves. Soon, it became a one-sided beating.
The mammoth Beastman and the snow eagle Beastman had no backbone and were quickly beaten into submission.
"We were wrong, we were wrong! Great King, you are our Great King! Please spare our worthless lives!"
Si Yan felt as if she were watching a scene from "Journey to the West" and couldn’t help but snicker.
