Chapter 29 – Crisis (1)
Indeed, Qinghan had woken up at the moment when Xue-Er was attacked by the dragon. The palm of Battle Qi had really damaged his physical body to a great extent, as many of his inner organs were injured and some of his ribs were on the verge of breaking. However, Qinghan didn’t worry a bit about his dire situation. After all, he knew that the bronze ring would rescue him. As expected, white smoke already rose from the ring and healed most of his wounds.
The magical healing function of the bronze ring was no stranger to Qinghan, he could even brag that, as long as he wasn’t killed within a second, or his hand with the ring was amputated, he could recover after any injury, no matter how severe. Therefore, he didn’t care about his injuries once he woke up, instead, he observed the current situation with extreme caution.
For Qinghan, the chaotic battle among the fire wolves, the giant thorn dragon and his enemies, would pose not much of a threat to him, as no one in the fight would notice his “corpse”. He narrowed his eyes in a slit, but didn’t make any further movements. On one side, because his wounds had not yet fully recovered. On the other side, because the battle had only just commenced, he had to wait until it grew more intense and chaotic. If he risked running away right now, most likely, he would become the attacking target of all three parties.
The image of the steel-like giant tail of the dragon, and the yellow palm of Battle Qi exerted by Xue Yi, made Qinghan quiver in horror. Suddenly, something occurred to him, “Where’s the King of the fire wolves?”
In order to find the whereabouts of the King of the fire wolves, Qinghan slightly moved his head, from one direction to another. Eventually, in the near distance, he found the body of the King.
“It... It has already died? Oh… It’s only several steps away from me.”
“This King of the fire wolves is a peak fifth-grade demonic beast. If I extract the magic crystal from its body and feed it to Little Black, I believe, my beast will instantly step out of its weak period.”
Qinghan was rather tempted to move towards the corpse of the King of the fire wolves and dig the magic crystal out of its head.
Once the battle beast stepped into its maturing period, it would be a watershed for the cultivation of any descendant in the Ye Family. Only once the battle beast had stepped out of its weak period, could the integration of beast and owner be realized. And once they were integrated into one, their total strength, power and speed would be multiplied. Moreover, it was even said, that some of the lucky cultivators could even obtain new techniques during this process.
Qinghan was confident, that his Little Black was at least a holy-grade battle beast. Many of the following facts supported this hypothesis - The abnormal scene in the summoning space during the Awakening Ceremony; the terrifying speed of Little Black, even though it was still in its weak period; the soul-conveying speech Little Black had… All these were an obvious indication, that Little Black was none of those ordinary beasts. What if Qinghan integrated with such a powerful beast, would his capability in cultivation skyrocket? Damn, he was so eager to try it.
Lying on the ground, Qinghan racked his brain about thinking out a feasible strategy to secretly move towards the King of the fire wolves. Of course, he couldn’t blatantly crawl to its body and excavate its brain. In that case, he would undoubtedly be discovered. On top of that, if the fire wolves were to find him dismembering their respected leader, they would consider his behavior as a blasphemy and tear him into pieces.
- Bang! -
Suddenly, a fireball fell on Qinghan’s legs, flames immediately bursted out at the bottom of his trousers. Subsequently, the sprawling fire gradually crawled upward, which caused unbearable pain between Qinghan’s legs.
“I hate fire wolves! I’m ok with your special skill of spitting fire, but why are you shooting it so randomly? Think about the innocent flowers and weeds, and me! Enjoy your fight and keep away from me. I don’t think it’s illegal to be a spectator of this battle. Why punish me?”
As the fire on his trousers turned hotter and expanded to his crotch area, Qinghan sensed a familiar smell. This smell made him think of the delicious smell of barbecued meat.
“Ahhhhhh…”
“If I don’t do something now, then I’ll become some delicious roasted food.”
When he was about to extinguish the flames on his trousers, a large chunk of a wolf’s body was sent flying in his direction. The head of this wolf was smashed into a deformed shape, as blood still oozed out.
“God bless me!”’
