Chapter 857: Don't Say That I Didn't Warn You
The Sickle Weasel couldn't understand.
How could a person kill an enemy when under the restriction of the Law?
Even if he had Pandora's box, one has to open it manually. If one doesn't open the box, then the curse wouldn't occur. In other words, the Pandora's Box that stored the Divine Power of Calamity was not invincible, was it? So how can he kill more than 20 beasts and residents by himself?
Ryoma, who rode his Winged Unicorn, looked at the Sickle Weasel very seriously.
He seemed to be observing whether it was worthy of his trust.
His gaze was very serious.
And he could see through all the emotions hidden in the Sickle Weasel's heart.
In the end, Ryoma made a difficult decision, "Listen, if you don't want to be an enemy to him and you just want to watch from the sidelines, just remember my advice."
Seeing his solemn appearance, the Sickle Weasel couldn't help its speeding heartbeat as it gulped a mouthful of saliva secretly.
It nodded, letting him know that it was willing to listen to his advice and cooperate.

Ryoma pondered slightly before he looked at the Scarlet-Eyed Beast again. Then, he finally whispered into the ears of the Sickle Weasel, "You must remember one thing, regardless of whether or not the Pandora's Box had been opened, or even if it appears in your hands, that doesn't matter. But as long as that person says ‘don’t say I didn't warn you', you must not laugh, oppose, ridicule, or have any other negative reactions in your heart. If you even scorn your lips in disdain, you will die! After that sentence was spoken, unless someone dies, you must not have any thoughts… I suspect that it is a revelation, a signal to activate the curse. Anyone who responds to it will die, and not even the Law of the Beast Valley will save you!"
The Sickle Weasel's scalp was numb.
I'll be d.a.m.ned. I would die if he said one sentence? What kind of attack is this?
But the Sickle Weasel did not doubt the authenticity of Ryoma's words. The curse of Divine Power was already a supernatural force to begin with. If it was similar to an ordinary attack, why would it be considered Divine Power anyway?
Now, let's take a look at how this Scarlet-Eyed Bat Beast died.
The sky full of bats descended in a densely packed manner. They stopped around the entire lake, each equipped with the strength of a Heaven Rank.
Although they were just at the 1st and 2nd Levels of the Heaven Rank, the number of nearly a thousand was enough to make up for everything. The Scarlet-Eyed Beast's power was at the 4th level of the Heaven Rank, which was far more powerful than ordinary beasts and only slightly inferior to a small number of residents and the Sickle Weasel itself. With the strength of the initial 5th Level Heaven Rank, the Sickle Weasel really didn't want to provoke this Scarlet-Eyed Beast—after all, its large group of children was way too annoying.
In the Beast Valley, only a few failed challengers like the Scarlet-Eyed Beast will copulate and breed with other wild beasts, living happily in the Beast Valley as if it was its home.
Although Sickle Weasel had become a beast, its heart was still of a human. It was like an irreversible concept. Leaving out having offspring with wild beasts, it already despised its own beast form. There was really no other choice for it but to be a sickle weasel. If it could be a normal human for a year, it didn't care if it would die in the future.
Of course, that was impossible.
For the failed challengers of the Beast Valley, the consequences were irreversible.
Either they succeed or fail.
There was no third possibility, no third option.
"You're that arrogant newcomer, aren't you? You seem to be asking for a punch in the face! Regardless, your arrogance will end here. When you encounter this Scarlet-Eyed Lord who always has the time to deal with affairs like this, that is the beginning of your tragedy!" Scarlet-Eyed Bat Beast saw that Yue Yang wanted to speak, so it immediately stretched out its hand to signal him, "Don't speak of nonsense, I know what you're trying to say, kid. If you weren't going to brag about your strength, you were probably going to use some rotten box to scare me, aren't you? How many boxes do you have? I have hundreds of children, and all of them are not afraid of death. You can take them out because I will open them all! Besides, how many boxes can you have? Just because you killed a few fools before, you think that you could run wild in the Beast Valley? Let me tell you, that was only because you hadn't met this Scarlet-Eyed Lord! Otherwise, your arrogance will end here!"
"I promise I won't use the box," Yue Yang smiled and shook his head.
"You son of a b****! If you don't use the box, do you think that this Scarlet-Eyed Lord doesn't know what you really wanted to do? You met with the other guy before, didn't you? What if Pandora's Box was left by him? What are you pretending to be? Do you think that this Scarlet-Eyed Lord is stupid? Did you think that a mere bean sprout like you can have a magical box? If it was not for the box that Ji Wu Ri left you, you wouldn't think of yourself as some invincible G.o.d! If you were not the disciple of Ji Wu Ri, or a disciple of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Fan Zhong Hua, then you're a disciple of that sly and cunning Cook. Other than the three of them, no one else would have the ability to back you up! Do you think that this Scarlet-Eyed Lord came here with an empty-handed investigation? Hmph, this Scarlet-Eyed Lord is intelligent beyond comparison, so why would I be afraid of your little tricks!"
"How admirable. I have nothing to express besides admiration," Yue Yang clapped his hands and praised it.
"…" The Sickle Weasel and Ryoma glanced at each other. They didn't expect this Scarlet-Eyed Beast, who was a sc.u.mbag by appearance, to have such caution before it approached an enemy. At least it had done some investigation before it came. However, this att.i.tude of it was a bit too self-righteous, right?
The truth was not accurately confirmed, yet it had been a.s.sumed as such very quickly.
At this moment, looking at the Scarlet-Eyed Beast again, both of the onlookers' gaze were as shocked as seeing a dead corpse.
The Scarlet-Eyed Beast and Yue Yang— one had an arrogant att.i.tude, boasting and thinking highly of itself; whereas the other was calm and collected. Just based on their appearances, even the blind would be able to know who would emerge victorious!
For Yue Yang, although the Scarlet-Eyed Bat Beast was kind of a drag on the surface, it did not rush forward recklessly. After all, it still had some scruples. The fact that Pandora's Box managed to kill Pi Yi, Samson, and Bai Lu remained real. He first rolled his eyes, then raised his voice and sneered, "I saw you guys a long time ago, just come out!"
The Sickle Weasel and Ryoma looked at each other again.
No way?
These two had always felt that their concealing ability was their proudest achievement.
Regardless of whether it was the Tricking Wind technique that the Sickle Weasel was good at, or the Light-Stepping technique that Ryoma was proficient in, both were certified as first-cla.s.s Cloaking Abilities.
They were already hiding here so much longer in advance, how could the Scarlet-Eyed Beast who had just arrived discover their presence? The two of them felt discouraged and were about to reveal themselves when they suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the opposite side.
Two shadows of different sizes flashed by the lake.
The Sickle Weasel and Ryoma both knew who these shadows were. One of them was the deadly enemy of the Scarlet-Eyed Beast, the Flying Dragon Lizard.
The other was the Big-Eared Mouse, a partner in crime with the Scarlet-Eyed Beast at usual times. Of course, because of the appearance of the Flying Dragon Lizard, the Sickle Weasel and Ryoma also found out that there was a shadow sliding into the bottom of the lake. Looking at the figure, it should be the Flying Dragon Lizard's friend, the Flower-Bellied Python.
"Scarlet-Eyed brother, there are no traces of outsiders, this kid's helper probably isn't here," The Big-Eared Mouse approached the Scarlet-Eyed Beast and whispered.
"You want to grab the first kill, yet you're afraid of death. How about you simply hide in your mother's crotch and wait until she dies before you come back out," The Flying Dragon Lizard sneered. It had a private grudge with the Scarlet-Eyed Demon. Considering that it hadn't attacked its sworn enemy, things could have been a lot worse.
"Just with your own rotten lizard power, and you want to fight with this Lord for the kill? Let me tell you, we have already surrounded this kid's newborn beast. The Toad King gave an order, we will turn against the ones who interfere with our plans. Weren't you quite a drag, Flying bug? Come on, try me, I'll see if you have the guts! Did you think that just because you're with the Flower belly guy in hiding that this Scarlet-Eyed Lord will be afraid of you? Just ask around, among the five forces , your side is the weakest. If it wasn't for your boss that often respected the Lion King and my boss, he would have been wiped out," The Scarlet-Eyed Beast waved its hand, and the sky full of bat children flew up, screaming and screeching. The sound of wings flapping resounded throughout the lake and the momentum was very shocking.
"What other abilities do you have besides constantly mentioning the name of your King? You and I were sorting out our personal issues, and yet you bring the Toad King into this, what a silly species!" The Flying Dragon Lizard was not afraid of the Scarlet-Eyed Beast, but against the Toad King however, it was slightly wary.
"Let's go ahead then, did you think that this Scarlet-Eyed Lord will be afraid of you? I'll put you down first and then take the first kill. Big Ears, you can watch over him for me. Don't let anyone take the chance to kill him."
"Yes, Brother Scarlet-Eye, don't worry about me handling this!"
Just as the two sides were arguing and were about to fight, Yue Yang was so bored that he was sitting under the tree, almost falling asleep.
After a long yawn, he said casually, "You two can fight all you want, but don't interrupt my sleep. Don't say that I didn't warn you later on!"
The Sickle Weasel never would have thought that this odd kid would say this sentence with such a careless att.i.tude at this moment.
Its heart stiffened as it heard those words, and it immediately turned its head to look at Ryoma.
Unexpectedly, it found that Ryoma was trembling all over. His face was pale and there was a chill in his heart. Was it possible to take effect without any rituals or specific words? Was there no limitation to this power? Even if he had said those words nonchalantly, would the curse of the Divine Power of Calamity still activate? If that was really the case, then there would be more people who would die under the hands of that kid!
The Sickle Weasel didn't want to think about what could happen to the Scarlet-Eyed Beast and the Flying Dragon Lizard, remaining an empty heart.
Forcing itself to go into a serene state immediately.
Suppress any negative emotions, keep it neutral. It could hear bursts of laughter near its ears. The laughter included that of the Scarlet-Eyed Beast, the Flying Dragon Lizard, and even Big-Eared Mouse and the Flower-Bellied Python who floated on the water surface.
"Hahahaha, I'm really going to laugh to death. What did you just say? Don't say what?" Flying Dragon Lizard laughed and burst into tears due to the intense irony.
"It's ‘don’t say that I didn't warn you'," Student Yue Yang explained patiently.
"Haha, what? Can you explain to me more clearly?" The Flying Dragon Lizard understood it, but it deliberately pretended not to hear clearly.
"Don't say that I didn't warn you," Student Yue Yang said again.
"I still can't hear clearly, please speak a little louder." The Scarlet-Eyed Beast didn't want the Flying Dragon Lizards to take full advantage of the prestige, and deliberately opened his mouth to tease Yue Yang. Surprisingly, Yue Yang was not angry at all, but he smiled and said again: "I'm going to warn you for the final time…"
"Do you want me to die laughing? ‘Don't say that I didn't warn you', who do you think you are? Continue to try scaring this Scarlet-Eyed Lord!" The Scarlet-Eyed Beast laughed loudly.
Hearing Yue Yang saying it four times, the Sickle Weasel and Ryoma opened their eyes at the same time.
And they subconsciously wiped off a layer of cold sweat by coincidence.
While suppressing their heartbeats and fear, the two glanced at the lakeside to watch the incident occur,
The miraculous Divine Power of Calamity must have already occurred. The young man had already said, ‘don’t say that I didn't warn you’. It should be the signal to open Pandora’s Box, and the Scarlet-Eyed Beast's ridicule was the ‘key' to open the box. These guys thought that they could use their words to show off their prestige and tease each other, but they didn't know that such behavior would be self-defeating!
How can the Scarlet-Eyed Beast, the Big-eared Mouse, the Flying Dragon Lizard and the Flower-Bellied Python die?
Was it dehydration, drowning or exploding?
Both the Sickle Weasel and Ryoma stared at the field without blinking, for fear of missing the most exciting sight of their lives.
The four beasts still laughed wildly.
There was nothing unusual at all.
A gust of wind blew.
Numerous hairs were blown out into the air. The Sickle Weasel and Ryoma immediately stared at a target, the Big-Eared Mouse. This fool was dying without it itself knowing as it laughed wildy, its entire being becoming old rapidly. Its whole body's hair turned visibly white to the naked eye. Its skin wrinkled, beginning to shrink and shrivel. The most exaggerated thing was that when the Big-Eared Mouse laughed crazily, its teeth had loosened. Based on its health and strength, it hadn't realised its deteriorating self and had started to sing at some point.
s
"Haha, I'm laughing to the point where my teeth have fallen out. Brother Scarlet-Eye, look, my teeth are falling off. Cough cough, how ridiculous! Cough cough, cough cough, I'm delirious!" The Big-Eared Mouse had found out that it had a tooth fallen on the ground. It thought that it fell off because of his laughter, so it became even more crazy, picking up that tooth and showing it off to the Scarlet-Eyed Beast.
The Flower-Bellied Python that was dipping in the lake had been petrified at some point.
It sank to the bottom of the lake.
Only the Scarlet-Eyed Beast and the Flying Dragon Lizard were left, still laughing wildly and indifferently.
These ridiculous laughters came from the lakeside, echoing throughout the forest and resounding throughout the sky. It sounded… extremely sarcastic.
