Chapter 755: Chapter 685: Prehistoric Fierce Beast, Little Dragon King

Tu Xiao’an then returned the axe to the Skeleton Monster. Now that he had subdued it, he wasn’t worried about anything else.

Otherwise, with an intelligent skeleton following him around, who knew what it might do.

Now that he’d subdued it, everything was perfect.

The key was that Tu Xiao’an had realized something. This Skeleton Monster came from Skeleton Mountain, so it should know the area well. Perhaps it could lead the way for him.

This was the main reason Tu Xiao’an had wanted to subdue it in the first place.

"Skeleton, do you know where the War Relics are?"

The Skeleton Monster let out a series of whimpers.

Even though he had tamed it as a Battle Companion, Tu Xiao’an still couldn’t understand its gibberish.

Tu Xiao’an slapped his forehead and said, "If you know the way, then lead on."

WHIMPER...!

The Skeleton Monster stood up and began to walk forward.

As it started to move, Tu Xiao’an’s eyes lit up. It really did know the way.

He couldn’t say for sure if it truly knew where the War Relics were, but at the very least, they wouldn’t get lost on Skeleton Mountain.

With this local skeleton as a guide, it would be more useful to Tu Xiao’an than a compass.

Skeleton Mountain was shrouded in a thick fog that made it impossible to get one’s bearings, leaving him to wander around like a headless chicken. But now, things were looking up.

Now that he had a guide, all he had to do was follow. At least he could feel a bit more at ease.

"Faster! Run!"

Tu Xiao’an urged the Skeleton Monster on. He was getting very anxious.

With a strange cry, the Skeleton Monster charged into the thick fog, its bony frame making an odd grinding sound as it ran.

With the Skeleton Monster leading the way, they ran for half an hour. The fog ahead gradually began to thin.

Tu Xiao’an couldn’t help but wonder, ’Have I reached the heart of Skeleton Mountain?’

The deeper they went, the stronger the innate pressure of Skeleton Mountain became. Only a monster like Tu Xiao’an could shrug it off.

Anyone else would have felt like they were walking through a high-gravity field, struggling to take even a single step.

ROAR... ROAR... ROAR...!

The roars of beasts echoed through the mountain forest, but Tu Xiao’an ignored them. He had already killed plenty of monsters that had tried to block his path.

As for those that didn’t get in his way, he didn’t bother provoking them.

Just then, Tu Xiao’an noticed the Skeleton Monster had stopped. It was trembling in fear again.

"..."

’It’s a Low Level Lord, and it’s still this timid?’

’Looks like something up ahead is terrifying it.’

Tu Xiao’an walked a few hundred meters ahead on his own and saw the figure of a burly man radiating the aura of a human War God who had reached the Divine Transcendent realm.

And in front of this burly man was an enormous beast.

It was a behemoth covered entirely in deep, cyan scales. Its fiery red pupils were enough to make one’s heart tremble. It was staring intently at the burly man as two streams of acrid smoke billowed from its nostrils, filling the air with a stench so foul it could make a person dizzy.

"ROAR—" The behemoth let out a roar that seemed to shake the heavens and earth, carrying the force of a Sound Wave Skill.

’This beast’s aura is incredibly strong,’ he thought, ’and it even looks a bit like a Dragon.’

Tu Xiao’an’s pupils constricted as he watched from a distance.

The creature was a behemoth, standing roughly a hundred feet tall and stretching several dozen meters in length. Its tail alone was a staggering ten-plus meters long!

Its build was relatively long and slender, and a single, curved black horn protruded from its forehead.

All in all, it was a green-scaled beast.

Seeing this beast, Tu Xiao’an realized he might have misjudged the Skeleton Monster. This creature’s terrifying appearance made even his own heart skip a beat.

Moreover, its aura was so powerful it was terrifying to even contemplate.

"Insight!"

"Ding! Little Green Qilin Dragon King. Middle Rank Lord, Level 35. A Prehistoric Fierce Beast."

Huh?

’A Prehistoric Fierce Beast?’

’What’s going on? Even prehistoric beasts are showing up now?’

That meant this Little Green Qilin Dragon King had appeared on Earth a long, long time ago, back in Ancient Times.

Tu Xiao’an mulled it over for a moment, then felt it made sense. The War Relics were from Ancient Times, after all.

Many of them were the former abodes of Ancient Demons, so it was only natural for a Fierce Beast like this to appear.

’It’s called the Little Dragon King, so no wonder it looks like a Dragon. But it’s not a traditional one; it’s more of a knock-off.’

’Level 35? A Middle Rank Lord?’

But this Little Green Qilin Dragon King was countless times stronger than that Three-legged Black-Scaled Pig from before.

They weren’t even in the same league.

’It might be Level 35, but a number like that probably doesn’t capture this beast’s true power.’

After all, it was facing down a War God, and that War God was in a sorry state, trembling almost as badly as the Skeleton Monster.

Then, Tu Xiao’an noticed something interesting. Behind the Little Green Qilin Dragon King was a cave, and inside it sat a giant, faintly glowing egg.

It looked rather similar to a Luminous Pearl.

Except its size made it look like the ancestor of all Luminous Pearls.

’Is this the Little Green Qilin Dragon King’s nest? And did it just lay this egg recently?’

’That must mean the Little Green Qilin Dragon King is on high alert right now. It won’t let anyone pass through its territory, afraid that someone is after its Dragon Egg.’

’So the burly man is an egg thief?’

’He wouldn’t be suicidal enough to pick a one-on-one fight with this Little Green Qilin Dragon King, right?’

BOOM... BOOM... BOOM...!

The Little Green Qilin Dragon King roared relentlessly as it attacked the burly War God. The man desperately dodged, occasionally managing to strike back with his fists.

"Vile beast! If this War God’s weapon hadn’t been destroyed a few days ago, do you think I’d be afraid of you?"

the burly War God bellowed, his voice thick with uncontrollable rage.

’"This War God?"’

’That voice sounds a little familiar.’

Tu Xiao’an’s expression suddenly turned odd. ’Isn’t this the one-eyed man, Song Ao? The one who got into a fight at the inn and was sent flying by a single punch from the Bull Demon King?’

Ranked ninety-second on the official Heavenly List.

His long saber had been shattered by a single punch from the Bull Demon King.

’To think that Song Ao had somehow made his way to Skeleton Mountain.’

Then again, it made sense. Everyone who came to X City was heading for Skeleton Mountain in search of opportunities.

"ROAR..."

The Little Green Qilin Dragon King was terrifyingly powerful. With every movement of its colossal body, waves of Qi billowed out.

The dragon tail behind it, nearly as long as its entire body, whipped through the air, transforming into a hazy, deep-cyan phantom as it swept toward Song Ao.

Song Ao’s expression changed dramatically. He could only dodge, not daring to meet the attack head-on.

"Fine, I don’t want your damn Dragon Egg anymore, okay?! Just let me go!"

Song Ao cultivated the Fiery Sun Saber Technique. Without a saber in his hands, he couldn’t even unleash half of his power. He was absolutely no match for this Prehistoric Fierce Beast.

He had stumbled into this part of the forest and seen the Little Green Qilin Dragon King sleeping. The giant egg beside it had been too tempting to resist, so he’d decided to make a move.

He had planned to quietly sneak in and steal the Dragon Egg while the Little Green Qilin Dragon King slept, but the beast woke up before he even got close.

And the moment it woke up, it came after him with a vengeance.

Now he was in real trouble. He couldn’t even escape if he wanted to.

Song Ao felt like he’d tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice he’d used as bait. Without his saber, he was at a complete disadvantage.

The memory of that Great Demon King security guard from the inn made him grind his teeth in hatred.

The guard had shattered his long saber and sent him flying with a single punch, completely ruining his reputation as a War God.

He had come to Skeleton Mountain this time hoping to find some opportunity that would allow him to achieve a breakthrough.
