689 Eaten Alive (1/2)

Bu Xingyi's eyes were full of joy. He had thought that he was about to die and was stunned to suddenly encounter Mo Wen on such a large island.

A strange expression was on Mo Wen's face. He had not expected to encounter Bu Xingyi, and certainly not in such a situation as the one he was clearly in right now.

”Little Bu, what's going on with you? You don't look so good.” The corners of Mo Wen's mouth curled up playfully.

”You… Mo Wen, there is a Beast King chasing behind me.” There was anger in Bu Xingyi's eyes. Despite the danger he was in, Mo Wen was ridiculing him. But in his current situation, he did not dare to say anything despite his anger. If Mo Wen did not save him, he would most likely die at the hands of the pursuing Beast King.

Although the message that the Tower Spirit had sent him had stated that no one would die for real on Beast King Island, who knew whether this was true. Moreover, no one would want to experience death. It was a natural instinct to fear it.

”Little Bu, it is merely a Beast King. As the Ming Temple's Sect Grand Elder, could it be that you actually are afraid?” Mo Wen said casually.

He did not say that he would save Bu Xingyi, nor did he say that he wouldn't. He also did not leave immediately. He seemed unconcerned by the Beast King that continued to move towards them.

”You insolent brat! if I was in my prime, I would not fear a mere Beast King. Youths nowadays do not know how to show respect for the elderly and only cherish the young. You don't have a sense of propriety at all.”

Bu Xingyi's expression turned sullen. Mo Wen was uncontrollable and had no idea how to behave. Time and time again, he had called him ”Little Bu”. If this got out, Bu Xingyi would never be able to show his face in public again.

However, the fact Mo Wen did not immediately take off made Bu Xingyi breathe a sigh of relief. Since Mo Wen had stayed when the Beast King caught up with them it would not only focus on Bu Xingyi.

The Beast Kings on this island seemed to have a natural hatred for human ancient martial art practitioners. Once they encountered one, it would certainly end the death of one of them.

”Towards a disrespectful old thing, what sense of propriety is there to speak of? As a senior in the ancient martial arts world, you have tried to kill me without reason time and time again. You even tried to ambush me. You shameless old fool, why should I reason with you? Reason is discussed between humans. What reason does an old mongrel understand?” Mo Wen said plainly. He had no intention of being discreet.

”You…” Bu Xingyi was so angry that he was almost at the point at which his lungs would explode. In any other circumstances, no one would dare to insult him in such a manner, let alone a young brat. He was tempted to pounce and fight Mo Wen to the death there and then. However, his thoughts turned to the Beast King behind them and he forced himself to resist the urge to do so.

He stayed close to Mo Wen. When the Beast King arrived, it would not let Mo Wen go. If the Beast King could eat the brat, that would be the best outcome for Bu Xingyi.

Roar! Roar!

In the thicket behind them, the trees shook, sending birds and beasts fleeing in fright. Tree after tree seemed to be struck by a powerful force, slanting as they fell to the ground. A huge silhouette emerged from the lush thicket.

The creature was five stories high, like a small hill that was moving at a high speed. With every step it took, the ground shook with a huge rumble as though an earthquake was occurring.

It was a huge single horned rhinoceros. The body of the rhinoceros flashed with blue light. The sky blue light enveloped the forest as though seawater had surged forth.

”Roar! You aren't running anymore? Have you thought things through and decided to willingly be eaten by me? Haha… Huh? There is actually another person.”

The huge rhinoceros' ink green eyes stared at Bu Xingyi as it laughed out loud. Its voice shook the surrounding trees, making them tremble. Then, as though it had discovered something, it turned its head slightly to look at Mo Wen, clearly noticing him at the same time.

”You stupid beast. I have encountered my fellow human companion. The two of us have decided to join forces and slaughter you,” Bu Xingyi said sinisterly as he coldly snorted. He unapologetically dragged Mo Wen into it.

”Kill me? You two little things? Laughable!”

The Rhinoceros Beast King did not get angry and instead laughed loudly. A truly strong practitioner would not bother to provoke those weaker than them. It just like a human would not waste their time provoking an ant.

”This is good, very good! Eating both of you may even make me immediately become a demon.” The Rhinoceros Beast King kept nodding its head. Its eyes flashed brightly as though it had encountered an absolute delicacy.

Mo Wen was speechless. It had mentioned eating them to become a demon. Couldn't the Tower Spirit come up with a new way to instigate all the Beast Kings on this Island to attack the human ancient martial art practitioners?

The Rhinoceros Beast King before them now was unusually powerful. It was most likely on a par with the Fire Domain's Giant Crocodile Beast King.

If the Rhinoceros Beast King specialized in speed, it would have been impossible for Bu Xingyi to escape.

”I have no issue with you eating him. However, if you want to eat me, I disagree with that,” Mo Wen said. If the Beast King wanted to eat Bu Xingyi, so be it. He would be delighted to watch.
