Chapter 73 (1/2)
Yellorote on the ground It did not want to leave yet, and it still maintained a firm attitude
The black yak was on the edge of losing it ”This is not the time for you to dawdle and waste time here!” the black yak shouted After its hot telance at the calf There was a nagging instinct within the yak that was telling it that there was soe about the calf's behavior Behind all this dawdling, there must have been a reason
”Chu Feng had saved my life once I want to repay hi that I've mastered to him!” Yellow Ox told a barefaced lie
The calf still wanted to hold out to the last It would be dissatisfied unless the seeds sprouted and flowered
”No, I'm fine There's notpulled the rug from under Yellow Ox's feet
Yelloas all tears, de behind at any rate The calf had never been so sentiuessed that this visceral sadness was due to its reluctance to bid farewell to its buddy; but in reality, the calf shed tears because Chu Feng's inoperative words had really rubbed Yellow Ox up the wrong way!
However, it was not fine for the calf to lose its temper in front of the black yak either It still had to put on airs and reuise The calf wrapped its front hooves around Chu Feng's ar out its reluctance to bid farewell to Chu Feng
”This is getting so sickening! Argh… I can't bear you no rily denounced then it turned its back and walked away
As soon as the silhouette of the yak disappeared in the horizon, Yellow Ox i The ”hot tears” had not even dried up yet, but the fight was already beco fierce and ferocious
Chu Feng fled in panic A wiseknew for a fact that ever since Yellow Ox th were not soe
In fact, Yellow Ox had every intention to just take the wooden bucket and wait for it to sprout during its journey with the black yak; however, the calf also feared that the seeds ht be claimed by the yak if it knew the truth
In co more than it did the black yak;was not a fighter daring enough to challenge it in a fight
As to travelling to thehad no intention to do so just yet His parents were desperately anxious to see him They called at least a few ti was still safe and sound
Days earlier, Chu Feng told them that he had made his way quite near the city of Shuntian; so, if he were to linger in the dangerous world outside for any longer, his parentsanxiety by the time he made his way back from the mountains of Kunlun
Later that day, Chu Feng called on Grandpa Zhao's weaponry workshop in the evening Had he not offered hi would have ht at the mountain of White Snake
”Grandpa Zhao, how are you doing?” Chu Feng asked He peeled off the rind of a pine nuts then fed it into Grandpa Zhao'sdared not to feed hio awry
”I feel full of energy, full of vitality I feel like I'th than I was during those youthful years!” Grandpa Zhao sounded rather excited
He had shut the door of his workshop since the ht accidentally hear a single piece of secret that was discussed
Grandpa Zhao claih did Even those few strands of silver hair by his teorous His strength had also increased to quite a sizeable extent
”Take a few more of these nuts”
Chu Feng whispered He peeled off the rinds of fourwith purplish glitter They were also crystal-clear and transparent like a batch of purple diamonds
Grandpa Zhao opened his mouth; clearly, he wanted to babble out so unknown to hi stopped him just in time before he could spell out any words
Chu Feng had once discussed with Yellow Ox before They had both reached a consensus that normally, it should only take a person around five pine nuts before he underwent so, mutation
After all, the pine nuts did see a decrease in effect after Yellow Ox had taken about ten pine nuts in total No es seemed to have happened after that
Let alone a person who had never experienced any form of mutation in his life before
Sure enough, Grandpa Zhao underwent a profound round of mutation on that day There was a noticeable increing on his skin as well, which was impenetrable to both sword and spears Additionally, the appearance of those scales was easily controllable They came and went as Grandpa Zhou wished
Zhou Quan was all tears when he heard about this ”Why can the other people control when and when not to show their mutated body parts while I'm just completely helpless?” Zhou Quan sobbed out his trouble to Chu Feng
Yellow Ox later informed Zhou Quan that his poas perh mutation compared to others!
”Fck this 'permanent mutation' I wish I'm free, man!” Zhou Quan roared and bellowed
Chu Feng was rather generous He gave what remained of those nuts to Zhou Quan since he felt like that Zhou Quan ht have not achieved the best result from those seeds that he had previously taken
Zhou Quan was both delighted and fearful, but in the end, he still braced himself and sed those nuts
As expected, Zhou Quan evolved even further after that
But on the following day, he ca out his troubles to hiain
”I don't want to live anymore… why is my mutation so different fro down his cheeks as Zhou Quan spoke; because there was a fourth horn growing on his head!
This time, the horn stuck out from the back of his head It pointed to the ventral side of his skull This new horn was siht and pointy one!
Chu Feng was taken aback by the sight as well Zhou Quan had acquired a completely different ability to everyone else The characteristics he displayed was unique on his own
Zhou Quan's new horn could jet out columns of fearsome flames,whilst Grandpa Zhao acquired a suit of scale arth
”The direction of the mutation depends on the many mysterious molecules that were hidden deep in the subject's body,” Yellorote to inform
”What're you trying to say? Are you saying that rown all indignant
Yellow Ox soleht that there was of every likelihood that this was the case
”I'll fight you to a bitter end!” The raging ed ahead towards the frivolous calf, but a black hoof suddenly stopped hiround, incapacitating Zhou Quan entirely
”Demon Ox!” Zhou Quan shouted in shock He then shrank into himself with fear The very hoof that stopped hied to the black yak The yak ly
In fact, the black yak had been watching Yellow Ox attentively for the past few days The yak believed that the calfclandestine; otherwise, there was no good reason for the calf to dawdle here at all However, after days of watchful observation, the black yak still could not see anything odd happening
Yelloas quite a slippery felloell The calf knew that the yak was not an easy target to fool; so, for the past few days, the calf consciously resisted the urge to go checking on the affair in the wooden bucket
But although the calf had been deliberately shunning away from the bucket, it still had a basic idea of whether the seed had taken roots or sprouted
”Not bad! You're quite a good young successor to our fao of Zhou Quan from beneath its hooves The yak sized hi rather satisfied
”Blood vessels ran through all four horns Very nice! Stay withuseful in the future” The black yak suddenly began to see Zhou Quan in a new light The yak was quite satisfied hat Zhou Quan had achieved in his life
Zhou Quan's heart palpitated after hearing what the black yak had to offer He felt no pressure when hanging around Yellow Ox After all, Yelloas just a calf No matter how ill-meant and wicked the calf could becoeable by Zhou Quan
This black yak, however, was a co this slippery devious fellow had been living in this world Zhou Quan had learnt all about the yak through the words of Chu Feng He knew that the yak was not just a mutated beast of the Kunlun Mountain, but a psychic aniained un the world
In fact, Chu Feng even doubted that this black yak ht have been one of the ”inauspicious beasts” mentioned by the locals
According to legends and fables that were local to the Tibetan area, in the depths of those towering mountains, hordes of auspicious beasts hibernated in their cribs for centuries; of course, alongside the there!
Was the black yak one of the auspicious ones? Chu Feng had never thought so!~
If one had to classify the beast as so those lines, the yak was at best an inauspicious one Chu Feng was fireable in his belief Of course, he would not let the yak know that he had such thought of it in his head
”Not bad, not bad How about I call you the 'Holy Baby' from now on?” the black yak took such a fancy to Zhou Quan that it felt the need to give him a nickname
”What the heck?!” Zhou Quan leaped into the air, then he was scared stiff Who was Holy Baby? Wasn't Red Boy [1] from the novel ”Journey to the West” also called the Holy Baby? No! No way he would stand to be called this This naic death
”I…” Zhou Quan opened his mouth, but the words were not spoken He felt quite apprehensive about the consequence of hi it said In the end, he said nothing
”Don't you have a brother in the west? Coether on my way back to the Mountain of Flame,” the black yak said
This was a typical use of both coercion and bribery The yak first threatened Zhou Quan, then it gave hih lure and attraction that Zhou Quan found impossible to reject
Zhou Quan's parents had always beentheir eldest son, and now the chance for a faht around corner How could he resist?
It was hard to judge hoerful this yak really was, but it was one of the kings of the beast after all, which meant that the beast could easily uarding nearby, his family would probably be a lot safer
”Alright! I will go with you!” Zhou Quan finally made up his mind
”That's right, son!” The black yak stuck out one of its front hooves then patted hirin on its face
”But can I be called so else?” Zhou Quan asked
”No!” the black yak scowled at Zhou Quan and said, ”do you knohat's thein this world? Opportunity! What if one day I'm sanctified to become a holy God of my species? When my title arrives, so will yours I' that you're the son or disciple of a saint!”
Zhou Quan: ”￥T……”
Zhou Quan cursed under his breath, but he dared not to openly challenge the beast
Chu Feng and Yellow Ox looked at each other in the eye, fully They could now finally rest assured that the yak had indeed been watching them in the dark; otherwise, how else could it know so much about the farow even more cautious
”The dragon is about to be slain! The West has opened their ar to use the taboo weapons!”
”Sht is gonna hit the fan!”
In the evening, sensational news spread across the world
