Chapter 20 (1/2)

- A Shocking Turn of Events

This was the golden leg of a beast. It was splendid and dazzling, thick and strong like that of a mythological beast. Even after death, it still had a dreadful aura around it. There were gold rays of light flowing out that made the hearts of others develop a type of reverence.

At this moment, forget about the hundreds of vicious beasts, even the hundreds of vicious birds, the silver alligator, blood sable, and violet snake couldn’t help but take a step back, as if affected by that terrifying aura.

In the end, it was the Green Scaled Eagle that advanced first. The other beasts then followed. There was a strong-looking fire unicorn as well as something similar to a Hou. They were all overlords of the outer mountains. However, apart from the Green Scaled Eagle, the others were not from this area.

With a rumbling sound, the Green Scaled Eagle extended its wings, shaking many mountain rocks as well as sending rocks and sand flying. This exposed a large chunk of the Suan Ni’s precious body.

The few other vicious beasts acted similarly as well. They grouped together, immediately causing rubble to fly into the air, shocking the other vicious beasts into retreating.

A piece of brilliant and godly golden splendor trickled out. What appeared was a huge monster that had the appearance of a godly lion. On its head was a huge golden dragon horn, and golden scales covered its forehead. Its whole body was lustrous, shining brightly with golden silky fur.

This was a Suan Ni, a genuine archaic descendant. Despite the fact that its noble blood wasn’t the purest and not as heaven defying as that of its archaic ancestors, it was still the most respected existence within the depths of the mountains.

Its remaining carcass was not considered the largest, and was only six meters wide. However, the strength of a beast wasn’t determined by the size of its body. The Suan Ni in front of their eyes was the proof of this.

Its entire body seemed to be cast in gold. Despite being dead, its might was still present. A dense and vicious aura filled the air. A golden brilliance illuminated the skies and brightened the entire region of the mountain.

This was the old Suan Ni, a strong and terrifying creature.

Hou…

The Green Scaled Eagle, Leopard Hou, Fire Cloud Unicorn and several other birds and beasts of the same level immediately took action. Since the precious body of the Suan Ni was now visible, everyone began to fight over it with all their strength.

Qiang

That Leopard Hou let out a long hiss, and from its back shot out a streak of lightning-like silvery light; its body unexpected held ancestral symbols.

Pu

A huge beast let out a scream. That light was incomparably sharp as it penetrated through its chest. The front and the back were shining, exposing that broken, bleeding heart.

The Green Scaled Eagle had taken flight a long time ago and began to dive down to execute its crazed attacks. Azure moonlight shot out like beams of light as they swept across the mountain forest. A huge beast was hacked in half on the spot.

It attacked without any mercy, targeting the strongest enemies with its attacks. The other hundred beasts and birds weren’t that big of an issue, because not even their huge numbers were a threat.

The area immediately reeked of blood. Some huge beasts already began to recklessly charge forward to tear at that Suan Ni. They wanted to devour its precious flesh and blood.

Several huge beast overlords violently roared, including the Green Scaled Eagle. They executed their attacks to inhibit others, creating a huge array of chaos everywhere they went.

Zhi…

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded, making people’s souls feel sore. A Purple Rat that was as large as a youth from the Stone Village leapt onto the back of the Green Scaled Eagle.

“Aunt Green Scaled Eagle, be careful!” The little guy cried out in alarm.

To the eyes of the Purple Rat, the Green Scaled Eagle posed the biggest threat, so it wanted to eliminate it first.

Its body was extremely small when compared to the Green Scaled Eagle, but its offensive power was quite strong. With just a strike of its claw, it directly tore off over a dozen jin of flesh from the Green Scaled Eagle‘s body. It was actually able to tear off the scales!

The little guy released a light shout, and then he attacked with all his might. The silver moon rotated before slicing towards the purple rat.

Even though the Green Scaled Eagle was angry, it did not lose reason. It knew that in a far away part of the mountain, there lived a creature who was feared by hundreds of beasts, a mouse king. It consumed metal for food and had unstoppable teeth and claws.

The Green Scaled Eagle’s entire body shone. Symbols interweaved, extending over its body like streaks of lightning. It confined the rat for a short duration with the goal of using ancestral symbols to wring it to pieces.

Shi Hao acted as well, and used the silver moon to attack the immobile mouse king. With a loud clunk, it was unable to break through. The little guy shockingly widened his eyes and shouted “Yiya, again!”

Qiang, qiang…

Sparks splashed in every direction, and that silver moon hacked down continuously, causing that mouse king’s fur to finally split open. Blood splashed out, but those bones were as hard as precious artifacts and extremely hard to chop apart.

The little guy did not stop there. After the first silver moon dissipated, a second one came to hack down again. Finally, a kacha sounded, and the mouse king’s bones were broken apart, causing serious damage.

Hong!

At the same time, the Green Scaled Eagle used the might of its interweaving symbols to inflict dreadful bloody scars all over the mouse king’s body. It dropped towards the mountain rocks below while suffering from grave injuries.

At the same time, a vicious bird overlord was also killed. Now, there were no more threats to the Green Scaled Eagle. It rapidly ascended, waiting for the mess below to clear up a bit before taking action again.

In reality, the Green Scaled Eagle wasn’t the only one who chose to withdraw. After fighting a bit, the other overlords all backed up as well. They didn’t wish to be taken advantage of by others during this chaos, which resulted in a standoff situation.

Suddenly, every scale on the Green Scaled Eagle’s body spread out. They then quickly tightened, as if it felt a great fear. It then ferociously swooped down, flying close to the forest as it sped away.
