The chain that had been swinging around loosely at the domestication ranch suddenly tightened. It had only covered a hundred meters when it was curled up, but it was over four hundred meters long when it was straightened. It tore the trees and rocks along its path into pieces. Wood and rock splinters were fired to the sides. The chain was even producing a loud screech, like a metallic dragon who had suddenly lost its calm!

“What’s going on?” Li Dong and Zhu Min witnessed the chain’s unusual movement when they were going to the other side of the mountain to look for the person who was fending off the Manta Ray Evil Birds.

Luckily, they had not stood too close to the chain. Otherwise, its force would have broken their legs easily.

“Not sure, it seems to be tied to something in the valley.” Zhu Min followed the chain and noticed one end of the chain was extending deep in the valley.

“Let’s not worry about it for now. We should stick to the chief’s orders,” Li Dong said.

Zhu Min nodded.

The two were just about to jump over the misbehaving chain when it suddenly cracked loudly. The chain had snapped in half somewhere between the mountain and the valley. Countless shards went flying and left holes peppering the mountain walls.

Zhu Min was very unlucky, as the front of the chain suddenly swung in his direction after it snapped in half. The chain struck him like the tail of a snake, moving at the speed of lightning.

Zhu Min’s eyes widened. The chain dealt a ferocious blow to his chest and his stomach before he could react. He spun crazily in the air as he was sent flying!

Zhu Min slammed into a stone wall with a loud bang. His body almost sank into the stone. Li Dong’s mind went blank as he remained frozen to the spot. He ran to Zhu Min with a shocked expression when he finally collected his thoughts after some time.

Blood splattered across the ground. Zhu Min, whose body was now stuck in the rock, had completely lost consciousness. His entire chest had collapsed, as if it was no longer supported by his ribs. His body was badly bent out of shape. Fresh blood was pouring out of his eyes, nose, and ears. Li Dong could not believe how terrible Zhu Min looked!

“Zhu Min, Zhu Min, wake up!”

Li Dong was terrified. Did Zhu Min really die from the whiplashing chain? How was he supposed to explain his death to Chief Zhu Qi?

Your son was killed by a chain… I saw it with my own eyes.

Li Dong believed he would also die if he told the chief about it.

Li Dong felt his scalp going numb. A hint of anger rose within him when he looked at Zhu Min’s miserable appearance again. Such a pampered son! Wasn’t he an Advanced Mage? How could he possibly fail to dodge the chain? He would not have died so easily if he at least Cast a Basic Spell or used some Equipment to defend himself. Only Mages who lacked practical experience would fail to react in time and die such a miserable death!
