Chapter 173 Chapter 173
Is that the light surrounding the newly appeared strange beast king?
Wrong, those are clearly all-inclusive pills!
Not to mention Lord Fengluo, Xia Muqing's eyes widened as well: "Oh my god, this is too rare! I can actually see a delicate beast here... Gudong!"
There are many rare Mystical Beasts in the illustrated guide, but the Exquisite Beast remains the rarest of them all. While most Mystical Beasts have their preferred food, habitat, and other habits, you can still follow them to find traces of them, but the Exquisite Beast is completely different.
This mysterious beast seemed to be seeking "peace and quiet" and was very free to do whatever it wanted. Coupled with a predictive ability that was almost a bug, very few people could find it, let alone defeat it.
But for some reason, the exquisite beast in front of him did not have the elegant and graceful temperament at all. Instead, its eyes were red, its head was shining black, and it looked aggressive.
"The beast kings in the Yiyuan Secret Realm don't seem to be very calm."
What Xia Muqing didn't expect was that even such a powerful Linglong beast seemed to be no match for Lord Fengluo?
So how far has this little hurricane dog, who has accompanied her all the way, reached now?
Thinking of this, Xia Muqing couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in her heart.
...It's a pity that the other party is obviously one of the beast kings in the Yiyuan Secret Realm, and it's not something she and Xiaofeng can eat just because they want to.
Shaking her head with some regret, Xia Muqing craned her neck and shouted to the exquisite beast, whose body was covered in flowing light, high in the sky: "Beast King, we have done nothing to harm the Yiyuan Secret Realm. This exploration was also a friendly agreement between the two parties!"
"You shouldn't have attacked us—if you dare to do so again, we won't be polite!"
These words were spoken so forcefully that the exquisite beast in the sky flew into a rage upon hearing them: "Woo woo!"
[Humans, do you dare to threaten this king? ]
[You're still talking about an "agreement"! How foolish! To be honest, from the moment you stepped into "Paradise," you were destined to become its nutrients!]
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The golden rose in Xia Muqing's arms came out in surprise, trembling in the wind: "Shasha?"
How is that possible?
If all this is a trap set by the Alien Secret Realm, then is its encounter with its master also part of the trap?
The exquisite beast glanced down at it condescendingly: "Woo——!"
[I just threw some bait. I didn't expect that despite all my warnings, you cunning humans still managed to trick a lot of cubs away.]
[Especially you, Wild Rose—a treacherous little thing, and a total loser. White Tiger treated you so well, and yet a human tricked you away with just a few words!]
[If you weren't needed for the subsequent plan, I would chop you up right now! Stop talking nonsense and get over here!]
As he spoke, several streams of light shot out like arrows, heading straight for the Golden Rose.
The Golden Rose stared at the scene in a daze, the bud above its head wilting at a visible speed. Its tiny head simply couldn't hold so much information, and for a moment, it was practically smoking.
What does it mean that the plan is still useful?
Could it be that the reason he was picked up by the white tiger was not because the white tiger was kind, but because they coveted his abilities?
It turns out that this so-called "paradise" is not only a dangerous trap for the owner, but also a huge scam for himself?
"……Bang!"
The flying streak of light was blocked by several ice-blue wind blades.
Lord Fengluo leaped into the air with his agile figure, stepping on the crescent-shaped mysterious power, firmly blocking the disgusted look that Miluo Beast was looking at the Golden Branch Rose, and baring his sharp fangs.
“Ouch!”
【Little Rose, don’t think too much! 】
[No matter what the process is, you are now one of us. The master will not abandon you, and we will protect you! ]
As the words fell, the golden rose raised its bud blankly.
The petals are red, and there seem to be water marks spreading.
Xia Muqing, standing beside him, was also calling out to the Nether Butterfly and the Gilded Sky Dragon, straightening her back with a serious expression.
"Xiaofeng is right," she said, emphasizing each word. "And Linglong Beast, you think too little of human beastmasters."
"I'm telling you the truth. Don't even think about catching anyone, not just me and Ji Hong, but anyone else—even researchers who aren't good at fighting!"
"We came here with good intentions, hoping to cooperate with the Yiyuan Secret Realm, but that doesn't mean we won't prepare a backup plan. There's an old saying in my hometown: 'When friends come, we offer good wine; when jackals come, we welcome them with hunting rifles.'"
"Since you were the first to break the agreement, are you ready to face our hunting rifles?"
…
At the same time, everywhere in the paradise.
Many second-level mysterious beasts in the shadows emerged silently from their hiding places, looking ferocious and baring their fangs as they rushed towards the researchers not far away.
But just when he was about to get close, golden marks suddenly appeared on the other person's body!
Many researchers were attacked, and countless golden traces lit up at that moment. If you look down at the Alien Secret Realm from a high altitude, you can definitely see that in the gradually enveloping twilight, clusters of golden light are like connected fireflies, echoing the stars in the sky.
It was like a huge, wonderful formation that could cover the entire paradise, but was broken down into small pieces and carried by every member of the human group.
In the center of the paradise is the Spirit Tree.
The center of the formation was also at the Spirit Tree. To be more precise, it was on the Spirit Tree, where Yusong and the Golden Nether Star Beast were battling several Beast Kings.
The Swordtail Tiger and the Flame Bird stared at each other with a look of surprise. After a moment of silent staring, the Swordtail Tiger couldn't help but roared, "Roar?"
[Human, you are still using your strength to protect your companions? ]
[In the battle against so many of our Beast Kings, you dare to distract yourself and your strength? ]
How underestimated this is, but in turn, how powerful is it?!
Hearing this, Yu Cong pursed her lips and smiled.
"Dividing your attention and strength? Not really." He said slowly, "Actually, you're not fighting against me alone right now."
The sword-tailed tiger was confused after hearing this, and the firebird and other beasts looked around in confusion. Even the dark shadow hidden in the dark couldn't help but use its mental power to detect the surroundings.
But after multiple checks, there was really no sign of anyone else except the howling wind and trembling branches and leaves.
"They're not here." Yu Zong raised his hand and gently tapped his solar plexus with his index finger, "but their intelligence is here."
Even with his extremely high IQ, it was impossible for Yucong to calculate the positions of so many mysterious beasts and human companions by himself, let alone draw a spatial map.
Normally, if this cannot be done, even if the Golden Pluto Star Beast has the ability of "soul division", it will be impossible to protect all the people who are attacked in the paradise at this moment.
But at this moment, almost every researcher quickly took out a pair of glasses from their pocket and put them on when they were attacked.
The shadow bounced away, and the high-dimensional graph turned into countless points. The researchers muttered to themselves, quickly calculating the coordinates, and then quickly transmitted the data to Yu Chong through glasses.
It was like scattered puzzle pieces forming a vast network, and this computing power supported the spatial operations of the Jinming* star beast, allowing it to call upon the stars, corresponding to the marks left on each person in advance.
The more coordinates there are, the more computing power there is.
The more computing power there is, the more coordinates can be protected.
"It's hard for me to explain the principle, and I don't want to." Yu Zong smiled and said, "Just think of it as the power of unity among all of us standing against each other right now."
Unity...
The sword-tailed tiger gritted its teeth, its eyes blazing with anger.
How is it possible? They planned for so long, how could they lose to such an illusory thing?
Flame Bird: “…Chirp!”
[Don't be anxious, don't be afraid, have confidence in Linglong! ]
"I just don't believe that humans can truly be so united... and you know Linglong's abilities."
[Even if we can't capture all of them, capturing those with the strongest profound energy reactions will be enough to activate the formation!]
Swordtail Tiger: "Roar!"
【You're right, I lost my composure.】
[I will activate the spiritual mark and contact Linglong right now!]
As it spoke, a bright light shone from the sword-tailed tiger's body.
And in the shadow behind it, a trace of gray mysterious power continuously flowed out and injected into its body.
The powerful force of space turned into a sharp cone, breaking through the invisible barriers formed by the turbulence of time and space around it, and flew to the end of the horizon.
Seeing this, Yu Chong was slightly stunned.
Seeing him stunned, the sword-tailed tiger raised its head again: "Ao!"
[Humans, don't think you're the only ones with a backup plan! We are called the King of Beasts, but we're not pushovers!]
[The Linglong King's abilities are the most remarkable among us. None of us can be sure of victory against it. If it were to capture other humans on its own, even if you used spatial imprints to connect the formation, it might not be effective!]
The roar was resounding, and the sword-tailed tiger was full of confidence in the Linglong beast.
Not only does the Linglong Beast have the unpredictable ability to predict the future, it also has a magical skill called Miaoshou Linglong.
It can use the power of foresight to transform flowing light into a high-dimensional cage. Even if the objects in the cage have a tremendous force, they will never be able to escape from it - after all, what traps them is not something that can be solved by strength and skills.
Of course, for Yusong and the Jinming Star Beast, who were well versed in the ways of time and space, such a cage might not be enough to trap them. But the sword-tailed tiger shook its long tail, thinking, "What's there to be afraid of?"
Among human beastmasters, it is already shocking that there is such a person as the one before us.
Could there be a second mysterious beast in this paradise that is proficient in the ability of time and space?
The more it thought about it, the more confident it felt. When it raised its head again, its posture became much more majestic. It whispered to the beast kings beside it: "Roar!"
[We can buy time, there's no need to confront him head-on. I don't believe this so-called formation on this human can hold up for long.]
[And wait a little longer, Linglong’s good news will surely come soon——]
"Um, excuse me," Yu Cong, who was not far away, suddenly raised his hand, "I'm interrupting you."
His eyes looked a little strange, and he pointed in the direction where the gray light flew. "Is that the exquisite beast you just mentioned going in to capture human beastmasters?"
Swordtail Tiger: "...Roar!"
[That's right, humans! Are you scared?]
"..." Yu Cong pushed his glasses and sighed helplessly, "Although, I have never seen the Linglong King you are talking about, and I don't know how powerful it is."
"But the marks I left on my companions tell me that in that location, there happens to be a young beastmaster who can be called 'unparalleled in the world.'"
"Her potential is so great that even Jin Mingxing Beast and I are envious of her."
"And speaking of which, her profound beast also happens to control the power of time and space. Isn't that a coincidence?"
At the end, Yu Chong couldn't help but laughed softly.
On the opposite side, the faces of beasts such as the sword-tailed tiger suddenly turned dark.
The odd-striped lynx tilted its head to look at its eldest brother, then at its second brother, and scratched its neck with its claws in confusion: "Awooo?"
Swordtail Tiger: "...Roar!"
[What are you panicking about! This human, this cunning human—he must be exaggerating!]
[How is it possible? How can there be so many geniuses in the world who are good at the way of space? ]
It had previously been a Spacetime Element, so it knew firsthand how difficult it was to learn. Furthermore, while it was said to be learning, it actually relied entirely on 'understanding' – a profound beast without natural talent couldn't even find where the door to the Spacetime Element opened.
Seeing that the sword-tailed tiger was so confident, Yu Cong shrugged and stopped talking.
He just made a gesture towards the distance, indicating that the sword-tailed tiger should see for himself what was going on.
At that moment, a stream of light shimmered in the distance, like a swirling cloud. The brilliant light rapidly approached, revealing the massive form of the exquisite beast to the surprised gazes of the sword-tailed tiger and other beasts.
As beautiful as ever, with a tiny bell tied to the tail wing, jingling.
The sword-tailed tiger's eyes burned with excitement. It seemed it had never seen the exquisite beast look so beautiful before. It shouted in surprise and joy, "Roar!"
[Linglong King, you're finally here! Quickly throw out those humans you captured—wait, where's your Liuguang?]
No, something's wrong!
The sword-tailed tiger suddenly realized that it had never seen the Linglong King in its entirety because it had always been surrounded by a dazzling stream of light. But at this moment, the King's flying posture was far less graceful than before, instead giving the impression of a hasty escape. Furthermore, the ring of light around him was patchy and uneven.
It was like... a light bulb went off in the Swordtail Tiger's mind, as if it had been chewed by a dog.
It was stunned when Linglong King saw the other beast kings and was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "Woo woo!!!"
[Brothers, come quickly, stop the dog behind me—quickly!]
The shout suddenly turned into a scream, because a huge white dog suddenly appeared from its side, with slightly curved eyes smiling happily, and its sharp teeth bit hard!
He bit off another big piece of flowing light.
Then chew it and swallow it down.
The exquisite beast, whose Liuguang was almost gnawed bald, said: "Woo woo woo woo woo!!!"
The beast kings such as the sword-tailed tiger who witnessed everything: "..."
Above the spirit tree, a genuine smile finally emerged in Yu Cong's eyes.
He looked at the direction where Lord Feng Luo was running happily, and the two figures on Hongguang Xingdou following behind him. He leaned back slightly and leaned on the branches.
"Look, I'll tell you what I'm saying."
"There's a price to pay for underestimating human beastmasters."
