Chapter 372 – Ancient Gray Beas (1/2)

Lei Yu’s expression changed as he pretended to be angry: “Chief, just accept it or else I’m going to throw it into the lava!” After saying that, Lei Yu raised his hand as if about to toss the crystal stone. The Village Chief hesitated before nodding: “If that’s the case, okay then! This old man will accept it! Thank you!” He continuously bowed a few times causing Lei Yu to feel a bit uncomfortable since he wasn’t used to receiving such courteous actions from an elderly person before. Lei Yu had always been like this; when there was someone in need, he will definitely try to help out.

Lei Yu had heard the old man mention they were so frantic that most of them only managed to pack some clothes. Their valuables and other belongings would definitely be burnt or melted at this point. Lei Yu still had quite a bit of crystal stones in his possession so by taking a small portion out, this can be considered doing a good deed.

“Hiss~!” A sound was heard at the mouth of the volcano.

Lei Yu quickly released his spiritual perception since the sound was abnormal. He then quickly looked up and noticed a monster completely in red and spewing out flames. A pair of lantern sized eyes was currently staring at Lei Yu and the crowd of people he was with.

The monster’s height was over five meters and his head was similar to a dragon’s, except its eyes was a bit more vicious looking than a typical dragon’s. Its eyes gave off fiery sparks and its body looked like it was wearing a scale armor for protection. Its four limbs were thick and long and its five-clawed feet looked exceptional sharp. The tail at the rear of its body was like a strange looking stub similar to a rabbit’s. Lei Yu couldn’t help but start frowning as surprise appeared in his heart. “How could this place have a monster at the early Soul Splitting stage? If I hadn’t rushed over here, who knows what would’ve happened!”

“It’s a monster! A monster!” One of the villagers cried out upon seeing the appearance of it. But since they were surrounded by lava, there was no place for them to run away to and chaos descended upon the group.

“Everyone stop panicking!” The Village Chief tried to maintain order. Lei Yu took a few steps towards the edge of the slope where the lava and come up to. Lei Yu didn’t seem bothered with it and suddenly raised his head to yell out: “What’s your purpose in appearing here?!”

The monster looked at Lei Yu. Hearing that Lei Yu was speaking to it, it sensed that this human was not ordinary. The monster suddenly spoke in the human language: “Slept for a thousand years, now hungry!”

Its words were simple but the meaning behind it was not at all when the villagers heard it. The monster had obviously appeared in search of food, and its target could possibly be the people inside the village! Every one of them was so scared that they started trembling!

Lei Yu lightly frowned. He wasn’t afraid of a monster at the early Soul Splitting stage but he still had to find a way to stop it. Even if his abilities surpassed the monster greatly, he still couldn’t guarantee that he could stop this guy if it decided to destroy this place with a large scale attack.

“Don’t make me angry and return to your sleep!” Lei Yu coldly replied.

“Angry? What qualifications do you have to dare to speak wildly in front of me, the Ancient Gray Beast?!” The monster loudly asked while being basked in flames.

Lei Yu sneered, “A mere early Soul Splitting little bastard, obediently return. I’ll say it again – don’t make me angry!” Lei Yu’s eyes glared at the Ancient Gray Beast and his deep profound eyes managed to shock it slightly.

“I refuse to believe it! What capabilities do you have?! Stop trying to trick me!” As those words faded, a burst of flame came roaring out of its mouth. Lei Yu already knew it wanted to test him but he didn’t make any moves. Just as the flames was about to reach Lei Yu and the villagers, it abruptly stopped. Lei Yu had already released an energy shield around everyone so ordinary attacks were completely useless.

The villagers could only look back and forth between the monster and Lei Yu without daring to say a word.

“How was it? You want to try again?” Lei Yu coldly harrumphed and a sword shimmering with white light suddenly appeared in his hands. The sword was unusually eye-catching. Lei Yu glared at the Ancient Gray Beast while he playfully stirred the lava with his sword.

“He dares to use his weapon to stir the lava? It’s definitely not simple! Should… should I pull back my attitude?” That so called Ancient Gray Beast was silently contemplating. It had just woken up so its power hadn’t been fully recovered yet. Wouldn’t it eat a loss if it suddenly encountered an expert? “Endure for now and figure it out in the future!”
