Chapter 53 - Zhuyan (2/2)

“Hahaha…” The little guy happily laughed and handed over another piece of dry meat. The result was that the ball of gold didn’t care about anything else again. Whether he lifted it up and rubbed it around, or swung it by the tail, it didn’t care at all. It simply allowed itself to be played with, and used its pair of claws to hold the food while engrossing itself in nibbling.

Zi Yun, Da Peng and Xiao Qing were all stunned. They descended and stared at that ball of gold and showed an expression of surprise. Just a moment ago, this creature had the appearance of three heads and six arms due to the effects of a legendary precious technique. Although this made them very nervous, right now this ball of gold was acting like nothing else mattered as long as it had food.

After finding this creature, they naturally couldn’t go and obtain insights from the battlefield now. The little guy grabbed the golden ball’s tail, sat on Zi Yun’s back, and charged towards Stone Village.

Wu… Strong winds surged. The three young birds descended onto the grass by the lakeside. A group of children surrounded them with a look of surprise on their faces.

“What is this, a newborn monkey? Why does it look like it was forged out of gold with such shiny and dazzling fur?”

“It’s so round. If you put it on the ground, it would probably roll.”

“Wow. It can eat so much. Even if you pull its tail, it wouldn’t get angry. It only knows how to immerse itself in nibbling.”

The beautiful lake was a clear dark blue, and green grass decorated the shore like cushions. In the distance, a few big, beautiful, and brightly-colored feathered birds paced back and forth. Sometimes, incredible beasts would appear.

A group of children formed a circle on the grass and stared at the creature, laughing from time to time.

Its mouth never stopped and finally, the golden ball directly dug into the little guy’s beast skinned bag. Unexpectedly, it ate an entire bag of dried meat, and only at this moment did the children feel that something was strange.

“Heavens, it’s only the size of a fist. How can it eat such a large bag of food? How can its belly fit all of that?

“What kind of monkey is this?”

These alarming cries drew the attention of the adults, causing Shi Feijiao and the other adults to walk over.

“It’s not a monkey. It underwent some transformation. When I found it at first, it had three heads and six arms, but it shed its skin like a golden cicada” explained the little guy.

“What! Three heads and six arms? That’s a supreme precious technique only heard of in legends!” Shi Feijiao was shocked. During these past few years of cultivating with the chief, he learned many mysterious things.

“What a pity. It almost died and the symbols within its body broke. The technique can no longer be researched.” The little guy was regretful.

At this moment, several older clan elders were startled. The words “three heads and six arms” made the elders distracted. Chief Shi Yunfeng also came over, and he crouched down while he carefully observed.

Zhi zhi… The ball of gold was angry and never stopped shrieking because it ran out of food.

With a pa sound, a child threw down a red fruit from its hands, and then the creature became obedient again. It held up its butt and immersed itself in nibbling, allowing everyone do whatever they wanted to it.

“This thing isn’t simple!” The chief took a quick look and jumped back in fear, showing a serious expression.

“Chief, what kind of monkey is this?” some children asked.

“This isn’t an ordinary monkey.” Shi Yunfeng explained as he lifted up its two small legs and carefully observed. Everyone else followed in observing and were surprised to find that both its feet were scarlet-colored like burning charcoal. If one didn’t look carefully, it would have been hidden beneath its golden fur. One could only find that its feet were extremely bright-red like the color of fire if they lifted up its golden fur.

“Is it actually something from legends?!” The chief trembled with shock like he was face to face with a peerless terror.

“Grandpa chief, what is it?” asked little Shi Hao.

“In an ancient legend, there was a peerless vicious beast named Zhuyan. It was shaped like a monkey with scarlet feet and a white head. Its appearance foretold which place would end in chaos.”

Everyone jumped in fear and couldn’t help but take a step back. How could this golden monkey be so fearsome?

“It’s… an archaic vicious beast?!” Everyone’s hearts were thumping violently. This was a bit scary. Unless a deity came, who could handle an Archaic vicious beast?

“Wrong. Its head isn’t white,” the nasally kid said.

“Naturally, it can’t be an archaic vicious beast. It should be a descendant, and its blood perhaps isn’t pure. We don’t know why it suffered such a serious injury,” the chief said.

With this, everyone became fearful. Even without the purest of blood, as long as it could be called an Archaic Descendant, it could still rampage through the desolate lands like a terrifying creature.

The only thing that relieved the people was the fact that this golden ball seemed harmless. It was just a food whore without much dangers to it.

In addition, it also suffered a heavy injury that shattered the symbols within its body.

“It’s a pity that the supreme legendary precious technique was broken as well.” After calming down, the group of people all felt very regretful.

“Yi, there’s a horn on its head.” The little guy rubbed its head. Not only did he not find any white hair, he actually found a pair of little protrusions inside its golden fur.

He only found it after careful examination: a pair of little protrusions stuck out of its fur as they radiated and flickered. They only found out it was a pair of horns after close examination.
