Chapter 21 - Suan Ni

In the middle of the clouds, the silhouette of the Green Scaled Eagle trembled. It was inwardly frightened. The Suan Ni unexpectedly had not died yet! They were fighting over its carcass just now, yet how could such a terrifying turn of events occur?!

“

Yiya

, how is it alive again?” The little guy scratched his head, puzzled.

Hou

…..

A world-shaking roar came through the mountain. That Demonic Ape angrily howled. Its wings got torn off while it was still alive, causing it to go mad. Fresh blood was still spilling out from its wounds.

It used its remaining arm to attack, smashing the old beast that shone with golden radiance with its fist. The Suan Ni did not appear to be slowed by its age at all, and with a flash, it instantly reappeared over a hundred meters away.

With a 

hong 

sound, the Demonic Ape smashed through the remaining half of the mountain with a godly might that shocked the desolate forest. After hitting only the air, it did not stop. With one leap, it jumped over two hundred meters high. It was going to spread its wings and fly away.

Even though it was angry, it was clear-headed enough to realize it wasn’t the elder Suan Ni’s opponent.

The Suan Ni’s pair of golden eyes were extremely cold. Cloud vapors surged from its entire body like a tsunami. Moreover. it rushed forward like a golden streak of lightning, and an explosion sounded as it struck the back of the Demonic Ape.

Ao hou

…

The Demonic ape howled loudly, and its entire body shuddered. Blood blossomed ten feet into the air, and just like before, it once again suffered greatly under the effects of the Suan Ni’s horrifying precious technique. A shining bloody hole emerged on its chest.

The formidable Demonic Ape immediately dropped down. It opened up its bloody mouth, exposing snow white fangs. It charged forward with the single arm it had left, and its entire body lit up with symbols to activate its precious technique.

On the other side, the Mythical Flaming Devil Bull’s entire body was covered in a scarlet fire. Its fur was similar to silky fabric. It also went mad, and its entire body lit up with symbols as well. Its intention was not to fight the Suan Ni to death, but to take advantage of an opening to escape.

However, the Suan Ni was too fearsome. Two beams of light shot out from the depth of its eyes, and then it struck the body of the Mythical Flaming Devil Bull. A thunderous sound rang through the air, inflicting bloody gashes onto its body and causing the symbols around it to dissipate. 

Moo

….

The thirty meter long scarlet red devil bull became furious. The flames on its body reached the heavens, and its mythical flames were ignited. It rose up, spread open its huge mouth, and released streams of flourishing scarlet red radiance in all directions, causing rocky peaks to turn into magma.

This attack caused endless amounts of vicious birds and ferocious beasts to immediately turn into ashes. They didn’t even have time to release a miserable scream.

The Suan Ni roared, and the golden light rays on its body intensified. Its brilliant magnificence covered the entire mountain region in a sea of gold. Mists surged out, blocking the mythical flames.

In the cloud banks far away, the little guy murmured to himself, “The Suan Ni was only pretending to be dead! It wanted to kill its enemies, so it let the Demonic Ape and Mythical Flaming Devil Bull come here on purpose! It really is smart, smarter than humans.”

Demonic cries rang out, and mythical flames overflowed into the heavens. Mist and lightning interweaved. This area was already completely chaotic. This confrontation between three archaic descendants caused thunderous noise to ring through the air. The entire wasteland was trembling in response. 

On the Suan Ni, Mythical Flaming Devil Bull and the Ape King’s bodies, mysterious patterns interweaved. They were densely packed together, and the rays of light burned fiercely like streaks of electricity. Their precious techniques began to activate, displaying their tyrannical strength and causing this area to become unstable.

Hong!

Ear-splitting noises echoed through the air. It sounded as if immortal lightning was descending from the ninth heaven. Red streaks of light rushed into the skies, clouds and mists filling the air with electricity and flames. The Suan Ni, Demonic Ape and the Mythical Flaming Devil Bull all trembled. The ground of this mountain region ruptured, making it seems as if judgment day was drawing near. 

Pu

The Demonic Ape flew out horizontally, falling down the mountains that were covered in golden divine radiance. Blood covered its body, and it was unknown just how many of its bones were broken. However, it still managed to break free from the Suan Ni’s mist. 

Dong!

 A single step from it caused the great earth to split apart. Its demonic wings moved, stirring up a great storm. Together with heaven overflowing black mists, it rushed towards the depths of the mountains. 

Not only was one of the Demonic Ape’s arms snapped off, several of its internal organs were smashed and most of its bones were broken. It needed to find a calm place to rest and recover. If it was discovered by some hostile parties before then, it would inevitably die. 

Moo

….

The Mythical Flaming Devil Bull shouted out, and the oppressive roar shook the entire mountain. Its entire body was covered in blood as it tried to escape with great difficulty. Fiery rays of light turned the entire sky red. It knocked over a mountain peak and treaded on lava before escaping to the mountain abyss as well.

The Suan Ni was the only one left on the scene, its entire body was covered in dazzling gold fur. It raised its head and released a great roar. Grass and various types of thorny undergrowth were pulled up from the ground into the air like a tornado. Enormous trees snapped apart and mountain boulders tumbled about. This place was completely chaotic. 

The Suan Ni swept its cold gaze through the surviving powerful creatures. It released a low growl. Only now did they cry out loudly and flee in all directions as if they had been granted mercy. In the blink of an eye, everyone completely left. 

In reality, eighty percent of the birds and beasts here were already dead. The casualty count increased even more drastically after the Suan Ni, Mythical Flaming Devil Bull and the Ape King began to fight. The effects were widespread, causing an unexpected calamity.

The mountains were quiet again. Lava began to cool, leaving behind the smell of blood on the ground. The old Suan Ni stood there alone, its huge godlike body enveloped in divine splendor.

This scene looked a bit lonely. The radiance in its pupils gradually dimmed, and a bit of blood trickled out from its mouth. It was a horrible sight. Finally, the radiance covering its entire body erupted. Its body cracked apart, and with loud rumbling sounds, it collapsed in the mountain region. 

“

Ah

, it died again. Did it die for real this time?” On the back of the Green Scaled Eagle, the little guy’s eyes widened. “It’s truly too old already and is at the end of its lifespan. It’s a pity that it still couldn’t kill its enemies even after it used its ultimate technique”

Rays of light shot out from the Green Scaled Eagle’s pupils. It wanted to throw itself downwards, but it was still scared that the Suan Ni was still not completely dead. If that really was the case, it would just be suicide. 

That area of the mountain was quiet, and not a single existence dared to approach it. All the vicious birds and ferocious beasts were scared away by the Suan Ni, not daring to turn back. They were still fleeing without knowing how far out they should escape to.

“Aunt Green Scaled Eagle, this time the Suan Ni should really be dead. Let’s go take a look.” Shi Hao quietly spoke.

The sound of wind whistled through the sky. Cold green scales flickered through the clouds. This was a creature that was incredibly intelligent, so how could it not be aware? However, it was still cautious and careful. It circled around in the air for a while before swooping down. 

“

Ya

, it’s really dead.” The little guy and the Green Scaled Eagle arrived in front of the corpse. He poked the Suan Ni. Right now, its body had already cooled down, and its life had definitely ended. 

The Green Green Scaled Eagle was incredibly roused up, and clapped its wings with great force, stirring up sand and rubble everywhere. It quickly fetched the Demonic Ape’s arm from a bit farther away. This was also an archaic descendant filled with rare true blood. 

Kengchi, Kengchi

. The little guy carried that Mythical Flaming Devil Bull’s several meter long horn over and laughed in a silly manner. His eyes quickly took on the shape crescent moons, because this was also a priceless treasure.

“Auntie, let’s leave quickly.” The little guy reminded.

The Green Scaled Eagle was especially excited, showing a different side than its normally fierce nature. Right now its eyes were half-closed, as if it was about to knock out. 

“

Ya

, what’s wrong auntie?” The little guy cried out in alarm.

The Green Scaled Eagle grabbed the Suan Ni’s body and wanted to take flight with its wings. However, it never expected its body to suddenly stumble and almost fall onto the ground. 

“

Ah

! Auntie you’ve been poisoned! You aren’t completely detoxified yet. “The little guy’s large eyes were filled with worry.

In that fight not long ago, it was bitten by that purple snake. Although it decisively cut off a large chunk of its poisoned flesh, it was still unable to completely block the spreading of the poison.

It was also attacked by the blood sable as well the fearsome mouse king who consumed metal as food. Its injuries were not light, causing its body to be much weaker. As a result, the poison spread even faster, making it harder to contain.

“Auntie, let’s hurry up and leave. Let’s go back to Stone Village and let Grandpa Chief help you cure this poison!” Little Shi Hao anxiously yelled.

The Green Scaled Eagle flapped its wings and attempted to fly again. This time, it finally lifted up that huge Suan Ni and took to the skies towards Stone Village.

Along the way, its body trembled several times and almost dropped down from the sky. Its body was incredibly weak and was almost out of strength. Normally, it could easily lift prey that was twice as heavy as this.

Kacha

After flying through a rocky cliff, its steel wings collided with a huge boulder, hacking open a huge chunk of the cliff. It almost fell head first onto the ground. 

The little guy anxiously said “Auntie, if you can’t do it, let’s throw the Suan Ni or the mythical bull horn down here first and then look for it later.

The Green Scaled Eagle immediately rejected this idea sternly. It told him to sit on its back and hold that several meter long scarlet horn as well as the Demonic Ape’s arm, not wanting to leave anything behind. Its claws held the Suan Ni’s corpse tightly, trembling the entire time it flew. It moved close to the mountain and rushed towards Stone Village.

Finally, they were almost at Stone Village. The little guy carried the scarlet horn and the Demonic Ape’s arm while feeling great happiness. 

It was really dangerous this time. There were several times where they almost lost their lives, but they were unexpectedly able to bring back the Suan Ni’s precious body! In addition, they also brought back the Ape King’s arm and the Mythical Flaming Bull’s horn. Their harvest was truly magnificent.

“Grandpa Chief and uncles, all of you were pretending not to be worried about my five year old baptism, but I know the truth. Don’t worry, we have three archaic descendents, and there is definitely enough true blood!”

He was incomparably happy, and his expression was brimming with joy. His laughter was extremely pure and sweet, and under the sunset glow, it was exceptionally brilliant.
