Chapter 331: The True Identity of the Savage Beast! The Cunning Scheme!
Is this the savage beast?
Su Shi raised an eyebrow.
Purely from its appearance, it was somewhat closer to the human race, but the aura of demonic energy it emitted was incredibly intense.
“Hand over the item, and I’ll let you keep your whole corpse,” the white-haired man reached out his hand, his voice hoarse and grating.
Splash!
A flash of sword energy passed in an instant.
A bloodline appeared on the white-haired man’s shoulder, then the entire arm slid off, blood spraying out as if it cost nothing. Su Shi shook his long sword, “Say it again, I didn’t hear clearly.”
The white-haired man’s face remained expressionless, the severed portion of his shoulder wriggled, and then a completely new arm grew out of his body.
In just a few breaths, it completely returned to its original state. Yu Ren’er’s face turned pale, and she whispered, “Brother, they say that the savage beast has an extremely strong recovery ability. Unless you find its fatal weakness, it’s hard to kill it.”
“Is that so?” Su Shi said casually, “If that’s the case, I might as well chop it into minced meat.”
The white-haired man shook his head, “Idle boasting…”
Before his words even fell, a blazing sword light surged forth!
Flying Flowers on the Moon Sword Immortal!
Su Shi couldn’t be bothered to waste words with the opponent, his hand was a killing move!
After all, this was the territory of demons and monsters. There were still two burdens by his side. If it continued, complications might arise, so a quick battle was necessary. The white-haired man’s arms spread out like tree roots, forming two long swords. He swung them and engaged in a fierce battle with Su Shi.
Both of them moved as fast as lightning, impossible to track with the naked eye. The surging sword energy cut down all the surrounding trees!
Su Shi’s eyes slightly darkened.
This air was filled with demonic energy, continuously replenishing energy for the savage beast.
Even if its head was cut off, a new one could immediately grow out. “It’s a waste of effort. You can’t kill me.”
“I can make countless mistakes, but you only have one chance!”
The white-haired man’s expression turned ferocious, completely abandoning defense and wildly slashing at Su Shi’s vital points.
Su Shi didn’t intend to entangle himself with him.
He pulled back and raised his palm, the air suddenly solidified, and a terrifying pressure spread out.
The white-haired man’s expression changed. But before he could dodge, in an instant, he was completely consumed by boundless flames!
Brilliant golden flames burned fiercely, and the white-haired man let out a miserable scream. His body quickly disintegrated under the scorching flames of the Starfire, gradually revealing his true form.
This humanoid appearance turned out to be merely a skin; the true body resembled intertwined roots and twisted branches, extremely grotesque.
At first glance, it seemed to be a combination of a fierce beast and a tree spirit. Su Shi couldn’t help but recall the demon assembled from countless remains in the Black Tower.
Savage beasts didn’t dare to approach the Black Tower, yet they were eager to obtain the “key.” There was clearly some connection between the two.
A bold idea crossed his mind.
“Could it be… that this savage beast is actually ‘artificial’?”
The beast’s wailing gradually weakened.
Part of its body was composed of tree spirits, and the damage caused by the flames was immense, especially the divine fire like the Star Flame. It wouldn’t extinguish until the target was completely incinerated.
Soon, the savage beast turned into black smoke and dissipated.
Only a red crystal remained on the scorched ground.
Su Shi walked over and picked up the crystal, examining it carefully. It was cold to the touch. Shaking it slightly, there was blood-red liquid inside, with patterns carved on the surface that were quite similar to the reversed Eight Trigrams diagram on the second floor of the Black Tower.
“It seems that my guess was correct. The connection between the savage beast and the Black Tower is very close.”
“But what connection do these two have with the Nine Ancient Bell?”
A figure appeared in Su Shi’s mind.
Yu Hongyin.
If it weren’t for the ancient bell fragment given to him by the Fox Clan Ancestor, he wouldn’t have been involved in all of this at all.
What exactly was this old fox planning? One thing was for sure: Yu Hongyin must have hidden something from him.
Just as Su Shi was deep in thought, trembling voices rang out from Yu Ren’er, “Brother, they’re here again!”
Su Shi turned around and saw numerous figures emerging from the dense fog, slowly approaching them.
“It’s the savage beasts!”
“Ren’er, you go first!”
Su Shi’s figure leapt into the air, golden wings spread behind him, his pupils flickering with dazzling golden light.
Falling Star!
Countless meteors tore through the sky, carrying a golden flame as they crashed down!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground trembled violently, flames and thick smoke obscured their vision. Yu Ren’er clenched her fists, knowing that with her strength, she wouldn’t be of any help and might even become a burden.
Thinking this, she hesitated no longer, crushed the Fox Clan’s spiritual jade, sent a distress signal to Green Hill Plains for help, and then flew away. She had to head to the outskirts of the Death Ground of Black Absolute to wait for her clansmen’s reinforcements.
“Shengzi Su…”
Wang Que clenched his teeth and followed behind as they leapt into the air. It seemed that the savage beasts weren’t interested in them, probably knowing that the key wasn’t on them.
With roars, the savage beasts lunged towards Su Shi.
…
On the outskirts of the Death Ground of Black Absolute, the Eagle Clan gathered.
The entrance to the dense forest had been completely sealed off, not even a fly could escape.
An elder of the Eagle Clan whispered, “Young Master, it’s been so long, should we continue waiting? With the strength of that dog clan youth, he would have turned into a feast for the savage beasts shortly after entering the Death Ground of Black Absolute. It’s been this long without any movement, it’s most likely they’ve already perished.”
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
Bai Zhi’s eyes were cold.
The events in Kodo City not only cost tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones but also tarnished the entire Eagle Clan’s reputation. The clan would surely investigate this matter thoroughly. Even with Bai Zhi’s noble status, he wouldn’t escape punishment. Those within the clan who coveted his position would seize the opportunity to harm him, causing years of accumulated effort to be ruined in an instant.
“Even though he’s ni longer alive, the corpse should be seen!”
With Su Shi present, Bai Zhi didn’t dare to act against the dog clan youth directly. However, he could invite him to visit the clan, at least to explain himself when he returned. His intuition told him that the dog clan youth seemed to be hiding some kind of secret.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, causing the ground to shake violently.
The crowd exclaimed in surprise and looked up. In the depths of the dense forest, there were flashing lights, as if a fierce battle was erupting. Even on the outskirts, the terrifying aftermath could be felt.
“What’s going on?”
“Could there be other people inside?”
Bai Zhi’s brows furrowed.
At this moment, the Eagle Clan elder pointed ahead and said, “Young Master, look, it seems someone is coming out!”
Bai Zhi focused his gaze and saw two figures flying towards them. They swiftly emerged from the forest.
Upon seeing the approaching figures clearly, Bai Zhi and the others were instantly stunned. One of them was the hound tribe youth.
The other person was none other than the Fox Clan princess, Yu Ren’er!
“Why is she here too?”
