619 Come out, Dream Eater Wolf (1/2)
Sky Master Hunter didn't have any relation with Bear Demon and Snake Demon, but he did know Eagle Demon. Eagle Demon was naturally fond of flying high in the skies. It only stayed in Moxiong mountains for about half a year, and traveled about during the rest of the time. One time, it ran into Sky Master Hunter, who wished to subdue it. The two fought a big battle, but then encountered a more than two hundred old monstrosity with an appalling strength. The two of them then joined hands and escaped with their lives. Afterward, they got closer to each other, though they still harbored malice for each other deep within.
”Hehe, they want to make a scene here at Moxiong Mountains? Truly don't know how to spell death!” The Eagle Demon's voice was exceptionally sharp like an eagle's cry.
”They're here!”
The Snake Demon's eyes squinted, turning cold and sinister.
…
A few li away from the principal mountain, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng stood in the sky.
”Check with your demonic eyes if there is any Phoenix Plume Tree.” Ye Chen could also check with his soul eyes, but it would waste excessive soul power. If he didn't have to use it, he would rather not. In any case, using Murong Qingcheng's demonic eyes was the same.
Faintly nodding, Murong Qingcheng worked her demonic power into her two eyes.
”Found it! Underneath the principal mountain is an underground river. There is a three meters tall Phoenix Plume Tree beside it, and it has many fruits as well.” Soon, Murong Qingcheng found the location and said cheerfully.
”We only need one fruit, that's all. Let's try to negotiate first.”
Bear Demon was a lot stronger than Black Wind Leopard, while the other two were slightly weaker than the latter. Such a lineup couldn't be looked down upon. Ye Chen also needed to be cautious. Of course, if all negotiations failed, he would simply snatch the fruit by force. He was completely determined.
Shua! Shua!
With that, the two headed to the principal mountain and stopped outside a huge cave on the summit,” Is Tyrant Bear inside? Can I, Ye Chen, have a word?”
”Come in first!” A deep, tyrannical voice came from inside.
”Come, let's go in.”
The bigger one's skill, bigger the guts. Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng walked inside. In a few moments, the two arrived in the cave's interior.
The cave's interior was like a huge hall with three half-beast figures. Seated in the middle was a huge bear-man, five to six meters tall. He was the Tyrant Bear mentioned by the Black Wind Leopard without a doubt. To his either side was a snake demon with snake torso and human head as well as an eagle demon with a bird's torso and human head. The three were observing Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng.
”What business do you have with me?” Tyrant's Bear huge eyes looked down on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen slightly frowned and said, ”I heard that there is a Phoenix Plume Tree in the Moxiong Mountains. This surnamed Ye has come to your place for one fruit. The price can be negotiated.”
”You want the Phoenix Plume Fruit?” Tyrant Bear was not astonished, as if already anticipating it.
”That's right.”
”Zi zi, where did you hear our Moxiong Mountains have Phoenix Plume Tree?”
Ye Chen said, ”Black Wind Leopard.”
”Sure enough!” Killing intent flickered in Snake Demon's eyes.
”Gentlemen, one Phoenix Plume Fruit is not worth much for you. Can you spare us one? You'll certainly not make a loss.” Murong Qingcheng voice sounded from within her muslin.
Eagle Demon resolutely stared Murong Qingcheng, ”Since you've come to my Moxiong Mountains, you don't need to cover your appearance. Remove your muslin, and perhaps we might agree.”
Ye Chen's complexion slightly sank, ”We're here for Phoenix Plume Fruit, just say whether you agree or not.”
”Who are you? How dare you cut me off.” Eagle Demon glared Ye Chen with overflowing intent. Meanwhile, Ye Chen didn't spare it a glance, merely looking at Tyrant Bear. The other lowered its head into a huge wine cup and said, ”You can't get the Phoenix Plume Fruit. We will help ourselves to your treasures and this woman.”
”Hehe!” Ye Chen smiled and his eyes narrowed before he said sharply, ”Seems like you three have no intentions of trading with me.”
”Correct! He who has the bigger fist has the final say. In my Moxiong Mountains, Dragons have to lay down and tigers and have to crouch for me.” Tyrant Bear said disdainfully.
Ye Chen's gaze lightly swept through the three demons and said indifferently, ”You think you three are capable of subduing us?”
”What if you add us?” In the far rear, a black-robed man and an old man in multi-colored robe appeared.
Ye Chen turned his head and looked, his brows slightly raised, ”Evil Demon Ancestor.”
”Hehe…Long time no see.”
Evil Demon Ancestor had a gentle smile on his face. However, this smile didn't have amiability; instead, it brimmed with an unbridled killing intent.
Ye Chen said pensively, ”Didn't expect you to appear here. It's really out of my expectations. I guess you two have been tailing us the whole time. What happened? You're still not willing to give up?”
Give up?” Evil Demon Ancestor chuckled, ”What's mine, I'll definitely get it. This time, you won't escape even if you grow wings.”
Ye Chen's face remained the same as he said indifferently, ”If I can make you eat dust once, I can also do it twice. Though, this time will be the last.”
”Impudent!”
”Ye Chen!” Murong Qingcheng was somewhat anxious. The enemy was too powerful. Three demonic beasts and two powerful Master level figures…even if someone amongst the top five young warriors ran into such a force, they wouldn't have an assured victory. Moreover, Ye Chen was still a little lacking compared to the top five young warriors in the end.
Ye Chen grasped Murong Qingcheng's slender hand, ”No worries!”
