Chapter 382
That well was something Long Chen had had Chu Yao excavate for him before leaving . It was very narrow had a depth of three hundred meters .
Furthermore, at the bottom of the well was a small tunnel that allowed him to instantly rush ten miles away to the small mountain valley where the three of them were waiting for him .
Excavating such a tunnel was as easy as lifting a hand to Chu Yao who possessed her wood energy . Once Long Chen entered the well, he saw that it lined with wood, appearing like a sleek wooden casket .
Long Chen couldn’t help praising Chu Yao’s attention to detail . She had even made his escape tunnel so luxurious .
He slid down the wooden channel and found the tunnel at the bottom was also lined with wood . It was just tall enough that Long Chen didn’t need to bend down to rush forward . He began to rush away as soon as he reached the bottom, but just at that moment, the pa.s.sageway behind him began collapse . He quickly increased his speed .
Light appeared in front of him . He rushed out of the tunnel, seeing the three women looking at him with concern .
“Hehe, it’s all fixed . I brought along a powerful helper . ” Long Chen could feel the ground trembling intensely, so he knew the two fifth rank Magical Beasts were already fighting each other .
The stronger the Magical Beast, the more territorial they would be . They definitely wouldn’t allow any compet.i.tors to step into their territory .
That was because the places powerful Magical Beasts staked out as their own normally had precious treasures present . If outsiders came, that would make them a.s.sume they had come to steal their treasures, and so they would fight with their lives on the line .
Previously, that Barbaric Wind Beast had let out an attack that Long Chen had instantly dodged .
That attack had ended up flying towards the Violet Phoenix Sparrow . Although these two fifth rank Magical Beasts were powerful, their intelligence wasn’t high .
That was especially true of the Barbaric Wind Beast that had decided to take the initiative to attack . The Violet Phoenix Sparrow had naturally counterattacked . Magical Beasts all possessed tyrannical natures, and so even if Long Chen hadn’t pulled the strings for that first attack, these two Magical Beasts would have most likely started a battle to the death just from encountering each other .
“How did you do this Long Chen?” Meng Qi was shocked, and neither Chu Yao nor Lu Fang-er understood what was going on .
“Hehe, this Barbaric Wind Beast is a good brother . All I needed was a single sentence to get it to help,” bragged Long Chen .
“As if anyone would believe you . This Barbaric Wind Beast was clearly chasing you like hunting a rabbit . From its posture, it seems like it wishes to viciously swallow you in a single gulp . ” Chu Yao couldn’t help covering her mouth and laughing .
Long Chen laughed and told them about what he had run into in the Misty Mountain Valleys .
“Long Chen, you really are crazy . You actually went with such a method,” Meng Qi couldn’t help exclaiming with shock .
Everyone knew that Magical Beasts were tyrannical and territorial . As soon as a Magical Beast of the same rank intruded on them, they would start a life and death battle . But to do what Long Chen had done required a heaven-defying courage . Most people didn’t even want to think of doing such a crazy thing as what Long Chen had done .
Just as they were talking, a scorching qi wave shot out along with a berserk gale . Chu Yao hastily waved her hand and countless wooden stakes formed a s.h.i.+eld around them .
After a breath’s time, the gale wind disappeared and she withdrew her wooden s.h.i.+eld . They saw that the originally green land and trees had all been turned into black ash .
“What a terrifying attack range,” spit out Lu Fang-er with shock .
This place was over thirty miles from the place those Magical Beasts were fighting . And yet, they were still being hit by waves . Fifth rank Magical Beasts were truly too frightening .
“That Violet Phoenix Sparrow is a fire attribute Magical Beast, while the Barbaric Wind Beast is a wind attribute Magical Beast . Its normal for their attack range to grow explosively when their attacks collide . That’s right, Meng Qi, if a fifth rank Magical Beast is heavily injured and cannot resist, can you make it into your housepet?” Long Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up .
If these two Magical Beasts were to take heavy injuries and lose their combat ability, and Meng Qi was able to take them as housepets, then her power would practically be heaven-defying . She would be able to sweep through the entire Jiuli secret realm like that .
Yin Luo? Han Tianyu? Wouldn’t they be killed with the wave of a hand?
Meng Qi sighed, “How could that be possible? Once a Magical Beast reaches the fifth rank, their soul will go through a complete transformation . You’ve also seen that my previous spiritual attack wasn’t very effective against the Violet Phoenix Sparrow . That’s because their own Spiritual Strength has a definite resistance towards my spiritual attacks . With my current soul energy, it’s absolutely impossible to subdue a fifth rank Magical Beast . Unless I first break through to the Bone Forging realm and my Spiritual Strength also transforms, there’s no hope at all . ”
“Ah, is that so? Then that really is a pity,” sighed Long Chen .
“Long Chen, your way of thinking really is different from ordinary people!” Meng Qi was somewhat speechless . He wanted someone at Tendon Transformation to enslave a fifth rank Magical Beast? Perhaps only Long Chen would think of something so crazy .
Just looking at Long Chen’s disappointed expression, they knew he was serious . He didn’t dare just think of something so crazy, he even dared do such crazy things . Just drawing over a terrifying Barbaric Wind Beast to fight with the Violet Phoenix Sparrow was something only he would dare do .
“The more they fight, the more distant they get . I’d guess that the Violet Phoenix Sparrow is afraid of aftershocks affecting its nest . Why don’t we go over and take a look to see if there are any treasures in its nest?” Long Chen laughed mischievously .
The territories fifth rank Magical Beasts chose for themselves were never ordinary places . There really were likely treasures .
The four of them made a large detour around the fighting Magical Beasts’ lines of sight . They slowly reached the Violet Phoenix Sparrow’s nest .
Its nest was at the peak of a high mountain, a location that would let it overlook any direction . The four of them spent over two hours just climbing up the back of the mountain .
The four of them carefully stuck their heads out . They saw that the Violet Phoenix Sparrow and the Barbaric Wind Beast were still constantly fighting . The mountains around them had already been razed to a flat land . Wind blades and flame intertwined, appearing incredibly imposing .
