690 Five Colored Spider (1/2)

”It's been a long time since I tasted such tasty meat. You humans are indeed the most delicious thing in the world.”

The Rhinoceros Beast King's eyes were half closed. Its face was filled with pleasure. Continuous chomping sounds could be heard coming from its mouth.

Mo Wen's expression was strained. He knew being eaten by a Beast King would be very painful and couldn't help but shiver at the thought.

It only took the Rhinoceros Beast King a short while to eat Bu Xingyi. As the Rhinoceros Beast King licked its lips, it laughingly said, ”Tasty. It is very tasty. Since you have given me your companion, are you going to give yourself to me now? Now that my hunger is satisfied, I will be able to slowly savor you bit by bit.”

The Rhinoceros Beast King laughed hideously. Greed permeated its gaze as it stared at Mo Wen. It could not wait to swallow him.

”Don't you know that such greedy beings usually do not live long?” Mo Wen said as he stared at the Beast King. ”Besides, let me correct you, he was not my companion. He was not qualified to be my companion.”

”Haha! You, laughable human, actually dare to threaten me. I have eaten your companion. It will not be long before I can transform into a Monster. The strongest being on this island is merely a Half-Monster. Once I transformed into a Monster, I will be the king of this whole island. Nobody can threaten me,” the Rhinoceros Beast King said loudly. He laughed resoundingly, with a pleased look in his eyes. ”If I eat you too, I may be able to improve further.”

The Rhinoceros Beast King twisted its huge figure as it walked towards Mo Wen. It had a look of desire in its eyes.

A killing intent flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. ”Alright then. Come and eat me.”

If he had the opportunity, he wanted to kill this Rhinoceros Beast King. Right now, he only needed to kill another two Beast Kings and his cultivation would break through to the later stage Golden Elixir realm. When that happened, even on this Beast King Island, he would have the ability to protect himself.

Suddenly, Mo Wen seemed to have sensed something, raising his head.

In the sky above the clouds, seven lights had appeared at some point. One of the lights had already been extinguished.

”The Lights of Life.”

Mo Wen lowered his gaze. The seven lights were the Lights of Life for the seven humans on Beast King Island. Each person had a corresponding light. Once they died, the light would extinguish.

All the human ancient martial art practitioners could instantly identify whether the others were alive or not through the Lights of Life. As long as there was still one at the end of the task, they would win.

The light that had been extinguished was clearly Bu Xingyi's Light of Life.

The trident in the sky emanated a brilliant light. The Rhinoceros Beast King raised its two feet and furiously stomped down. The circle of light furiously expanded, crashing towards Mo Wen. Up in the sky, the trident also charged downwards, heading straight for Mo Wen.

However, just as Mo Wen was prepared to go all out, a strange thing happened. A beam of white light descended from the sky, enveloping the Rhinoceros Beast King's body. The next moment, the Rhinoceros Beast King disappeared from its original spot. No trace of it could not be detected at all. Even the circle of ferocious blue light and the trident in the sky disappeared in an instant.

Peace returned to the forest. It was as though nothing had happened.

Mo Wen was stunned. What was going on?

Why did the Beast King disappear into thin air out of the blue? Could it be…?

Immediately, Mo Wen thought of a possibility. Most likely the Tower Spirit had retrieved the Rhinoceros Beast King. Since the Tower Spirit had announced that Beast Kings could be upgraded to be Devil Clan through eating ancient martial art practitioners, it could not go back on its word. Otherwise, if the other Beast Kings knew that eating a human ancient martial art practitioner would not raise them to become members of the Devil Clan, they might not seek human ancient martial art practitioners so passionately.

If the Rhinoceros Beast King ate Bu Xingyi and successfully became a member of the Devil Clan, it would certainly disrupt the balance of the island. The Tower Spirit naturally could not let such a thing happen and so had removed the creature after the Rhinoceros Beast King had eaten Bu Xingyi. That way it would not affect the balance on Beast King Island, and at the same time would not affect the other Beast Kings' passion for hunting humans.

Mo Wen touched his chin. Bu Xingyi would not have imagined that after the Rhinoceros Beast King ate him, it would leave the Beast King Island. If he knew what had just happened, he would have been so angry that he would have coughed up blood. After what had happened to him, Bu Xingyi still hoped that the Rhinoceros Beast King would also eat Mo Wen alive.

Without the Rhinoceros Beast King hunting him, Mo Wen continued wandering around the Island. He did not dare to simply find a place to hide because he knew that no matter where he hid, he would be found by a Beast King. He could even possibly be surrounded by a pack of Beast Kings. It seemed as though constantly changing his location on the island was the best method to survive.

Time passed slowly. During the day, Mo Wen encountered many dangers. Many of them could not be predicted. If it wasn't for his acute sense and extraordinary ability, as well as the treasures that he had to protect him, he could possibly have died on this island.

Once, he was even surrounded by five Beast Kings. Only after a fierce battle did he manage to escape within an inch of his life.

In the sky above, three of the seven lights had already been extinguished. That meant that three of the human ancient martial art practitioners had completely died.

However, Mo Wen was not surprised. This island had too many uncertainties. With a slight slip up, even he could possibly die here.
