Chapter 904: 904

Meng Qi formed hand seals, and a spiritual rune lit up on her hand before fading .

Guo Ran could count as a dabbler Beast Tamer know, so he knew Meng Qi was sending a message to her housepets . They two of them were currently hunting for food .

“Sister Meng Qi, what’s wrong?” Guo Ran was still startled . What he had thought was a funny joke had caused such a reaction in Meng Qi .

“The only thing you learn from Long Chen is his useless skills . When will you get past his ability to joke and curse, and actually learn any of his smarts?” rebuked Meng Qi .

“I…” Guo Ran immediately felt awkward . It seemed the only things he wanted to learn from his boss were pick-up and show-off arts .

“This is no joke, but a trap set up by Ji Changkong . He at least has goals in announcing that he has captured Long Chen . One is to force us to show ourselves,” said Meng Qi .

“But we’re not so stupid . That’s just an insult to our intelligence . ” Guo Ran still didn’t understand .

“You’re underestimating Ji Changkong . His other goal in sending in this announcement is to draw out the aboriginals . Once they appear, his second goal will be achieved,” said Meng Qi .

“But the aboriginals wouldn’t get duped so easily, right?” Guo Ran frowned .

“That’s why I said you underestimated Ji Changkong . Since he dared to make such a naive move, he must have another move we don’t know about yet . He definitely has a trick to dupe the aboriginals . My guess is once they fall for it, they’ll kill a portion of them and then release news that they’ll kill the rest . With Long Chen’s character, how could he just allow them to slaughter the aboriginals? After all, the aboriginals once saved his life .

“In this manner, Long Chen will fall into Ji Changkong’s trap, and it’ll also confirm his relations.h.i.+p with the aboriginals . Then the evidence from those two Four Heavenly Geniuses will become ironclad . No matter what Long Chen says, he’ll be viewed as a traitor of the Righteous path and attacked from every direction . If he’s killed, the Xuantian Dao Sect won’t be able to do anything . And if he survives, then to protect themselves, the best case is they will help Long Chen slip away . At that time, Long Chen will be viewed as an enemy of all sides . This is a malicious scheme with no solution,” said Meng Qi .

“f.u.c.k, this d.a.m.n Ji Changkong!” cursed Guo Ran .

Although all of this was just a guess from Meng Qi, her guess was reasonable . Even if it was off, it wouldn’t be off by too much!

Guo Ran had an urge to slap himself . All day, he only thought about showing off . This matter had been seen through even by Meng Qi . If it had been Long Chen, he would have seen through it easily . His intelligence was still too lacking compared to his boss .

“Furthermore, Long Chen has said that lord Heaveneye has left to somewhere unknown, and thus the aboriginals don’t have a leader right now . For something like this to happen now, it’s worrying . ” Meng Qi frowned .

“Then what should we do? Should we disturb boss?” asked Guo Ran .

“We can’t . Each time Long Chen goes into seclusion now, he stays in it for around half a month . There’s still one or two days until he will come out naturally . This time is too important to him, so we can’t disturb him . My housepets will quickly return . I’ll leave the Blood Phoenix to protect Long Chen and give him the message . Once he awakens, he’ll immediately rush over there . You have to alert all our people as fast as possible . Have them all hurry toward Drake Mountain . There will probably be a huge battle there,” said Meng Qi solemnly .

Originally, Song Mingyuan and Li Qi had been with them, but then Long Chen had told them to find a place with denser earth energy to continue expanding their seas . So Guo Ran needed to alert everyone on his own .

“What about you?”

“I’ll rush over there first . Hopefully, I can get there in time before the aboriginals suffer too many casualties,” said Meng Qi .

Suddenly, two huge figures landed from the sky . They were the Blood Phoenix and the Earth Dragon .

The Blood Phoenix was at the peak of the seventh rank . Its aura was unsteady, showing vague signs of being close to advancing ranks .

When Guo Ran saw the Earth Dragon, he let out a startled cry . “It has advanced to the eighth rank?!”

“Didn’t your Earth Dragon also reach the seventh rank? Your soul energy is limited, so you need to nourish it longer . Only once a Magical Beast’s intelligence rises will it be easier for it to advance ranks . However, this Earth Dragon has only just advanced, and its combat power isn’t completely steady yet . It’s only a bit stronger than the Blood Phoenix right now . I’ll take the Earth Dragon with me, and you alert everyone as fast as possible . I’ll do my best to stall . ” Meng Qi put the Earth Dragon into her spiritual s.p.a.ce and told the Blood Phoenix to guard Long Chen .

She also left a sheet of paper for Long Chen, explaining what had happened . Then she and Guo Ran split up .

…

Drake Mountain was an unusual mountain . It was shaped like a circle, like a drake coiled on the ground . It formed a huge basin, with the only opening between the drake’s head and tail .
