Chapter 17 – Transformation of the Acupoint (1/2)
It was a really rare occurrence for the vicious beasts to slaughter one another, the law of the jungle was really harsh!
Only because this was within the Tyrannical Dragon’s territory, the amount of the vicious beasts were little. At the same time, there was also no King of the Beasts type of powerful monsters. Otherwise, the war between the vicious beasts would be even more devastating and cruel.
The entire area was drenched in blood, the carcasses of the beasts before Xiao Chen’s eyes was a horrible sight to see. Apparently, they were fighting for an ancient cave. Most of the vicious beasts died in front of the cave entrance. It seemed like this ancient cave was originally sealed off. The huge boulder that blocked off the cave entrance was gradually breaking apart over many years. Today, the cave finally see the light again and invited the slaughter of the vicious beasts.
The ultimate winner was a Divine Wolf! Its blue-colored fur was shining like a gem, the fur was overflowing with a bizarre energy. It was as if the wolf was sculpted out of a divine blue rock. Its length could stretch up to three meters or more, and its height was around 1.6 to 1.7 meters. It was rather “small” when compared to the other vicious beasts. However, its intimidating aura and bloodthirsty killing intent generated fear in the heart of others.
The most mystical part was its pair of blue wings. That pair of wolf wings extended up to five or six meters long. The blue radiance circulating around the wings was even more concentrated compared to the other parts of its body. Other than that, this wolf actually possessed three eyes. The third eye was aligned vertically between the other two and it was as bright as a sapphire. However, it emitted a demonic aura, just looking at it gave people an extremely ominous feeling.
To be able to survive the massacre between so many vicious beasts proved just how fierce and formidable this divine wolf was.
It pushed the boulder that was blocking the cave entrance aside, but just when it was about to enter the cave, it noticed something in that moment. It looked towards the direction where Xiao Chen was hiding. Its pair of fierce eyes were flickering with bloody light, and the vertical eye on its forehead was pulsing with a bluish aura. Soon after, a fiendish aura spread everywhere and filled the air!
Xiao Chen was in a dangerous situation, but when the divine wolf turned its head around, Xiao Chen noticed a terrible wound on the side of its neck. It was clearly wounded heavily in the course of the fight. The wound stretched all the way from the side of the neck down to its abdomen. Apparently, one of its blue wing was almost ripped apart, it was drooping low on the ground. The eerie white bones around its chest and abdomen had been exposed. The ground was soaked by its bizarre blue-colored blood.
“ARH-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO……”
Driven by its bloodthirsty impulse, the mystical wolf faced the sky and let out a howl, then it transformed into a blue light as it dashed towards Xiao Chen. However, the instant it landed in front of Xiao Chen, the body of the wolf shuddered and it nearly fell on the ground.
Xiao Chen felt relieved, the divine wolf was like an arrow at the end of its flight ⌈1⌋. When the vicious wolf opened up its ferocious mouth and pounced on Xiao Chen with its exposed teeth, Xiao Chen left an afterimage in his original position as he dodged the attack. Following that, he swept his right leg and ruthlessly strike the exposed white bones of the divine wolf.
The divine wolf was tough as expected, its body only shook slightly. It didn’t take a single step backwards, nor did it flip over and fell on the ground. Xiao Chen’s kick was powerful enough to split a stone tablet in half, however it was unable to break the exposed wolf bones into pieces. One could imagine just how tough was the divine wolf’s skeletons!
“ARH-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO……”
The Three-Eyed Divine Wolf let out a miserable howl, the sharp pain drew out all of its violent nature. The fur all over the wolf’s body was standing on end, and it was bursting with an indistinct blue radiance. The faint glorious radiance was flickering unceasingly!
It pounced at Xiao Chen again and this time, its speed raised to the limit, only blue light was left behind its track! However, it seemed to have lost all of its strength in midair and suddenly dropped to the ground.
It was really an arrow at the end of its flight, it was unable to flaunt its strength before the final radiance of the setting sun. A blue disintegrated heart spewed from the mouth of the wolf. Xiao Chen was actually very frightened inwardly, if the divine wolf was not heavily injured, it was not an opponent he could handle!
Looking at the woodland that was dyed red by the blood, the carcasses of the vicious beasts, and also the bloody fog that was drifting in the air, Xiao Chen walked to the entrance of the ancient cave. He wanted to find out just why did so many vicious beasts fight over this ancient cave, and what kind of secret it contained.
The inside of the cave was spacious and empty. If the boulder that sealed the cave was completely removed, most likely, even huge monsters like the Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon would be able to crawl inside here. All of a sudden, Xiao Chen’s expression became serious. With the help of the faint light coming from the cave entrance, Xiao Chen could see…… what appeared to be a huge monster creeping in the depths of the cave!
If one observed carefully, the figure in front was all white in color, that was a huge skeletal frame!
Fortunately, it was not a living beast! Xiao Chen advanced steadily. The huge skeletal frame was just like a mountain made of bones. That ought to be the skeletal remains of a vicious dragon, because no other giant creatures would be as big as this. The completely intact skeletal remains was about forty to fifty meters long. It was quite similar to the Saber Dragon recorded in the ancient book. That was one of the vicious type among the dragon race!
