Chapter 1121 – So It Was You (2/2)

Yet the most complicated of tunnels could not keep out species that could travel through the earth.

Chusu's body trembled incessantly as he looked at that unremarkable gray bird, the stench rising from his tattered black robe growing thicker and thicker.

He did not fear beings of the Divine Domain, nor was he disappointed because he had found the wrong target. He was excited.

He felt that his rough fate had finally come to an end.

The word 'luck' had finally anointed his head.

The Earth Monkey followed the trail Chusu had left in the earth, and when it drilled out of the ground, this was the sight that greeted its eyes.

When its gaze fell on that small, gray bird, it went cross-eyed.

To put it another way, this extremely experienced and most shameless and insidious of monsters had been blindsided.

The Earth Monkey recognized the gray bird.

Even though it had changed shape, even if it had become dust, the Earth Monkey would not dare to forget.

That bird was the Golden-winged Great Peng.

In the Plains of the Unsetting Sun, countless monsters had esteemed it.

Like Dragons and Phoenixes, the Golden-winged Great Peng was an innately divine being.

Chusu was well aware that eating a Golden-winged Great Peng would bring him many benefits.

It was obvious that this Golden-winged Great Peng was in the extremely long process of awakening, leaving it incapable of defending itself.

Chusu could not pass on this opportunity.

The Earth Monkey was well aware of this, so no matter how cunning and sinister it was, it could not think of a way to stop Chusu.

At this moment, the gray bird opened its eyes.

With just a glance, it knew what this freak stinking of decay wanted to do.

The young Peng showed no fear or pleas for mercy in its eyes, only cold indifference.

An indescribably terrifying pressure filled the cave.

”Do you think that you can scare me?”

Chusu's voice was still very hoarse and unpleasant.

The young Peng's eyes burned with rage.

But just like Chusu thought, it was at a crucial moment of its soul's awakening, so it could not move.

A ruthless hiss that seemed to express grief at being wronged echoed through the cave.

”You are the same as me: a proud, cold, and malicious species that has never liked this world. We have no masters and no friends, so there will naturally be no one willing to save us. This being the case, why not merge into one and try to compete against the world again?”

Chusu very seriously spoke to the young Peng.

The young Peng rolled its eyes as if Chusu was an idiot.

A streak of fire suddenly appeared in the night sky.

The line of fire plunged straight into the rock of the mountain.

The ground quaked as blazing magma surged with indescribable heat.

The mountain collapsed into a plume of dust.

Chusu sensed a familiar Qi. As he recalled his wounds from several years ago, he turned abnormally pale.

A delicate figure walked out of the dust, her wings slowly retracting behind her, then vanishing.

The young Peng shouted at that figure like it had been greatly wronged, and also like a child that was whining.

Xu Yourong petted it.

The young Peng seemed very comforted. After softly whining a little, it closed its eyes and continued to sleep.

”So it was you…”

At this sight, Chusu cried out in anguish, ”Is it the law of the heavens that everything good belongs to you?”

Xu Yourong thought this over and replied, ”It seems that it is a little unfair.”

Chusu sensed her Qi and suddenly laughed.

His laugh was very unpleasant, his smile even more so.

”So it wasn't you.”
