He rubbed his eyes, feeling that the insect's movements looked strangely familiar. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise. This... this is a giant dung beetle?
"Where did this Cloud-Ascending Beast come from? Does it have an owner?" Suddenly, Langye, hovering in mid-air, frowned and stared at the battle formation, calling out.
"General Lang, don't be anxious! The Cloud-Ascending Beast is the mount of my friend, the Old Man of the Moon. Please don't accidentally injure it!" The Great Immortal Tongxuan, who was controlling the tornado, hurriedly looked up and answered loudly.
"Elder, is the Matchmaker you mentioned the one you picked up using the Zhang Huang Express?" A huge, flapping-winged monster asked the Great Immortal Tongxuan from a distance not far from the Cloud-Ascending Beast and the Firebird Battle Group.
"Elder, what exactly does this Matchmaker mean? He caused such a huge disaster as soon as he arrived in our clan. Could it be that he brought the Fire Crow in as well?" Another winged spirit asked sarcastically by the flames.
"Second Elder, please don't make wild guesses. We don't know how the Fire Crow got in. The Cloud Ascending Beast sensed the Fire Crow's presence and that's why it unleashed its power as a warning. We should really thank Lord Yue Lao," the Great Immortal Tongxuan hurriedly explained.
"Suspicion? These fire crows are the natural enemies of our clan. We have always been on high alert. Without special channels like the Zhang-Huang Express, how could they possibly get in?" The second elder persisted.
"The matter is not yet clear, so don't jump to conclusions. First Elder, since the Cloud-Ascending Beast is the Old Man of the Moon's mount, please ask him to take it away immediately, lest we accidentally injure it when we kill the Fire Crow. Second Elder, prepare the Thousand-Silk Pupae. Third Elder, prepare the Sea Dragon..."
"Attention everyone, once the Old Man of the Moon has captured the Cloud-Ascending Beast, immediately launch the attack. Make sure to kill the Fire Crow in the landing plaza and prevent it from escaping into other areas of the Heavenly Nest," Commander Lang shouted from the air.
"Yes!" The powerful members of the Zhanghuang clan gathered in the square all answered in unison.
"Lord Yue Lao..." The Great Immortal Tongxuan turned his head and looked down at Wang Yao on the ground.
The Cloud Ascending Beast is not only rare, but also the most beloved pet of immortals. Lang Shuai was naturally aware of this, so when he saw the Cloud Ascending Beast, he did not act rashly. After all, being able to keep a Cloud Ascending Beast as a pet would be extremely precious to any immortal.
Moreover, this Cloud-Ascending Beast was clearly an enemy of the Fire Crow, so before the matter was cleared up, Commander Lang did not want to offend an immortal by injuring the Cloud-Ascending Beast. After all, being able to keep a Cloud-Ascending Beast as a pet also proved the matchmaker's methods and wealth.
The Great Immortal Tongxuan stared at Wang Yao, completely bewildered. Since the Cloud-Ascending Beast was Wang Yao's pet, why hadn't Wang Yao put it away? He had caused such a huge mess. Fortunately, a Fire Crow appeared; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to explain it to the Zhang and Huang executives present.
As for Hui Shuo, although he had previously taken in a Cloud Ascension Beast, Tong Xuan automatically ignored it. Cloud Ascension Beasts would only become pets of immortals, and humans wouldn't even be able to fill a gap between their teeth with them. His actions could only be described as Wang Yao's methods.
Little did he know that the Cloud-Ascending Beast was simply willing to be his pet, and even Wang Yao was completely helpless against it. Now, seeing the Great Immortal Tongxuan looking at him, Wang Yao knew that the situation within the Zhanghuang Clan was extremely delicate. Not to mention the two butterfly spirits before, he could tell from the Second Elder's few words.
Moreover, as the Cloud-Ascending Beast fought fiercely with the Fire Crow, it gradually showed signs of weakness. The Fire Crow's protective fire shield was extremely domineering, and its sharp beak was also very vicious, having already pecked many wounds on the Cloud-Ascending Beast's body, with golden blood dripping down.
Although the Cloud-Ascending Beast sometimes had a slight advantage, once it bit or pinned down the Fire Crow with its claws, the part of the Fire Crow that the Cloud-Ascending Beast touched would immediately burst out with a dazzling white light, and the temperature there would rise sharply. The Cloud-Ascending Beast could only roar in pain and quickly give up.
Under such circumstances, the Cloud-Ascending Beast was naturally forced into retreat, and had been knocked down from the sky to the ground, its body covered in blood and charred by the flames. Wang Yao felt extremely distressed, thinking to himself that if he didn't step in, the Cloud-Ascending Beast would probably be roasted into a skewer by the Fire Crow.
"You hurry up and go, I have to go save the Cloud-Ascending Beast, I can't take care of you." Thinking of this, Wang Yao reminded Hui Shuo, added "good person" to his name, and then walked towards the battle between the Cloud-Ascending Beast and the Fire Crow.
"Lord Yue Lao, you..." Tong Xuan stared at Wang Yao in astonishment. You must know that the fire crow is a notorious ferocious beast in the demon realm, whose combat power is in no way inferior to that of a celestial beast. Moreover, it has a strange fire protecting its body. The cloud-climbing beast has also been driven into ferocity. The two strange beasts are fighting fiercely, and the scene is like a turbulent sea.
Even if he, an immortal with a thousand years of cultivation, wanted to participate and avoid being accidentally injured, he would still have to take precautions. At the very least, summoning his gigantic immortal body to fight the enemy would be inevitable.
Even if the Old Man of the Moon possesses extremely high physical strength, a single stomp from a strange beast would be enough to flatten him. Even if he weren't in mortal danger, where would that leave the dignity of the immortals? What was this guy thinking? Wasn't he being a bit too arrogant?
The other powerful members of the Zhanghuang clan, along with the large dung beetle, all stopped what they were doing and looked at Wang Yao in astonishment. The commander even raised an eyebrow and widened his eyes.
Wang Yao heard Tongxuan's call but did not turn around. He simply raised his right hand and waved to Tongxuan, then took three steps at a time, passing the powerful figures surrounding the square and entering the battle between the fire crows and the cloud-climbing beasts amidst the flames.
With a loud "boom," before he could even lower his hand, the Cloud-Ascending Beast's enormous foot stomped down on him. As the foot reached Wang Yao's head, it involuntarily slid to the side. Just then, the Fire Crow launched a fierce attack on the Cloud-Ascending Beast's side, pecking heavily at the shoulder blade of his right forelimb.
