Chapter 2292: Chapter 2292: Cooperation!

The place where the servant beast attacked was originally empty.

However, just as the attack was about to land, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the void.

As soon as the figure appeared, it transformed into a trail of dazzling light and fled at high speed.

The servant beast saw this and sneered.

With another finger pointing out.

A vine, as swift as lightning, shot out in an instant.

Directly piercing through the figure.

The person didn’t even utter a sound, instantly dissolving into nothingness.

With his body and Primordial Spirit, everything was devoured by the vine.

This person was Jiucheng.

Though Jiucheng excelled in concealment and tracking, his actual strength was only at the Void Refinement Realm Middle Stage.

He was naturally far from being a match for the servant beast.

Seeing this scene, the man with the ghostly surname and the Qilin phantom that Yu Ruo had transformed into showed a solemn expression.

Just from this maneuver, it was evident how many people the servant beast had devoured over the years.

The action was simply too skillful.

The opponents didn’t even have a chance to react.

And at that moment, the vine that devoured Jiucheng suddenly changed direction and shot toward another void area.

Seeing this scene, the man with the ghostly surname and the Qilin phantom transformed by Yu Ruo were taken aback.

Someone else?

Just as the two were bewildered and uncertain.

A bolt of Thunder Light suddenly appeared without warning.

Boom!

The thick Thunder Light instantly clashed with the vine.

The vine was directly shocked and flew away by the terrifying Thunder Light.

Seeing this situation, the servant beast snorted coldly.

"Overreaching yourself."

In the next moment, over ten vines shot out violently.

Meanwhile, the Thunder Light in the opponent’s hand also suddenly increased by more than ten bolts.

For a moment, the two attacks were locked in a standoff in mid-air.

And at that moment.

A Blood Shadow suddenly appeared without warning and shot toward the servant beast.

The servant beast reacted extremely quickly and immediately waved his hand.

A Black Shadow greeted it.

Boom!

Another explosion echoed in mid-air.

The Blood Shadow and Black Shadow each shot back.

Only then did the servant beast show a solemn expression.

Clearly, he had already realized that the opponent’s strength was extraordinary.

The servant beast did not strike again but kept a cold stare at the figure.

After the Thunder Light dissipated, the figure gradually became clear.

It was Zhou Yu.

At this time, both the man with the ghostly surname and the Qilin phantom transformed by Yu Ruo recognized Zhou Yu.

The expressions on each of their faces differed.

Then the servant beast spoke first.

He stared tightly at Zhou Yu:

"Did you kill the injured beastman?"

The servant beast and the beastman coexisted in this canyon.

It’s not surprising that the servant beast knew about the beastman.

Zhou Yu did not conceal it, simply saying lightly:

"It has something I want; it couldn’t stay alive."

One sentence made the servant beast’s pupils shrink slightly.

He was very aware of the beastman’s strength.

The beastman bore the direct lineage blood of the Vajra Divine Ape; without injuries, even he would not dare to easily act against him.

Although the beastman was injured, after years of recuperation, his injuries had mostly healed.

Unexpectedly, this boy killed him in such a short time.

The boy’s strength was more formidable than he imagined.

Seeing the servant beast silent, Zhou Yu spoke:

"I know these two, but you."

Zhou Yu stared at the servant beast.

"What are you?"

Hearing Zhou Yu’s rude questioning, the servant beast looked furious.

"Boy, you dare speak to me like that."

"Seeking death?"

Before Zhou Yu could speak, the Qilin phantom transformed by Yu Ruo interjected.

"Senior Zhou, this is the servant beast of Wind Qilin Cave, originally responsible for guarding the cave, but was possessed by a Qilin Avatar, and through possession, devoured at least six or seven Qilin Avatars over the centuries."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu looked at the Qilin phantom transformed by Yu Ruo.

Then he sent a voice message directly:

"So, you are also one of the Qilin Avatars?"

The Qilin phantom transformed by Yu Ruo responded:

"Indeed."

"Not only me, but this one beside me is also a Qilin Avatar."

Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, his tone turned cold.

"So, your real purpose this time accompanying me here is the so-called Wind Qilin Cave."

"Then, when you suggested I kill the High Rank Demon Beast and use its inner core to repair the cloak, was it to have me deal with the beastman so you could smoothly find what you wanted?"

Hearing this, the Qilin phantom transformed by Yu Ruo hurriedly said:

"Senior Zhou, you misunderstand me."

"Repairing the cloak indeed requires the inner core of a High Rank Demon Beast."

"And taking the Qilin Essence is indeed one of the goals of this trip."

"But there was no intention of using you."

"Originally according to my plan, Senior would kill the High Rank Demon Beast, while I would retrieve the Qilin Essence, without interfering with each other."

"Just unexpected events led to the current situation."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

Through Yu Ruo’s tone, and knowing the situation from the Fire-eyed Flying Ant on standby outside, Zhou Yu roughly understood the matter and could see that Yu Ruo was not lying.

At this point, Zhou Yu glanced around the scene.

Then he smiled and said:

"It seems you’re facing quite a problem now."

The Qilin phantom transformed by Yu Ruo immediately said:

"Senior, frankly, there indeed is a problem now."

"The Qilin Essence has already been devoured by the servant beast."

"We must kill it to have a chance to obtain the Qilin Essence."

"If Senior helps me, after obtaining the Qilin Essence, I can give half to Senior."

"With this portion of Qilin Essence, Senior will seamlessly break through to the Integration Realm."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s interest was immediately piqued.

Breaking through to the Integration Realm was indeed his most urgent need right now.

At that moment, the man with the ghostly surname snorted and said:

"What are you two discussing?"

Yu Ruo replied directly:

"I talked about the Qilin Essence with Senior Zhou."

"Right now, we must join forces to kill this beast to obtain the Qilin Essence."

The man with the ghostly surname’s expression darkened.

"Damn it, you revealed the secret of the Qilin Essence to outsiders?"

Yu Ruo sneered and said:

"Senior Zhou and I came together, so how is he an outsider?"

"Besides, do you think that by us two alone, we can handle this servant beast?"

Hearing this, the man with the ghostly surname could not speak.

He knew very well that he and Yu Ruo’s joint effort could at most be a draw with the servant beast.

Killing was absolutely impossible.

This assumed they were both entirely trusting of each other in their collaboration.

Clearly, they could not reach this level.

Thus, without Zhou Yu’s intervention, they might both be devoured by this servant beast.

But the man with the ghostly surname was too wary of Zhou Yu’s strength, leaving him quite uneasy...
