Chapter 544: The outsiders have broken the agreement!
Beneath the solitary mountain.
The Dragon Scorpion Beast Ancestor's "morning grumpiness" had already awakened the other four demon beast ancestors, who all came in their true forms, intending to find out what was wrong with the old scorpion.
Not long after.
At the foot of the Lonely Mountain of Buried Dragon, four more figures appeared. The bodies of the other four Beast Ancestors were similar to those of the Dragon Scorpion Beast Ancestor, resembling hills. However, they dared not make too much noise at the foot of the mountain. Even the Dragon Scorpion Beast Ancestor, who had just been enraged and frenzied, had calmed down.
"Old Scorpion, what were you doing this time?"
A dragon-eagle beast ancestor, its body covered in intricate patterns and fine scales, opened its mouth in a sinister manner.
As a dragon eagle, the Dragon Eagle Beast Ancestor dwells directly on the summit of Lonely Mountain and almost never leaves, unlike the Dragon Scorpion Beast Ancestor, who nests underground.
Living high up means sleeping soundly.
The Dragon Eagle Beast Ancestor hadn't woken up for a long time, and it didn't want to wake up either. This Holy Dragon Secret Realm was so small, and it had already explored it all. It was so bored that it could only sleep, and once it was disturbed, it wouldn't be so easy to fall asleep again.
As a result, the old scorpion got angry, and no one knows what happened.
"Yes, what happened?" The other two beast ancestors also came over, clearly eager to find out what had just happened to the old scorpion.
"The outsider killed my Dragon Scorpion Beast King, and destroyed my bloodline!"
The Dragon-Scorpion Beast Ancestor lashed its scorpion tail violently, fuming with rage. "Tell me, do you think I wouldn't be furious about this?!"
"...What?" The other four Beast Ancestors were stunned.
Was the Dragon Scorpion Beast King killed, or was it killed by outsiders?
Instantly, the beast ancestors also became vigilant and solemn, because there were five demon beast clans in the Holy Dragon Secret Realm, and each clan had a beast emperor to lead the entire clan. It could be said that once their lifespan was exhausted, the beast emperor would become the beast ancestor.
Therefore, the Beast King is very important!
But the Dragon Scorpion Beast Ancestor said that outsiders have now entered the Holy Dragon Secret Realm?
"wrong!"
The Dragon Bear Beast Ancestor roared, "It hasn't even been five thousand years yet! The last time the Holy Dragon Secret Realm opened to the outside world, it was less than a thousand years ago. How could there be outsiders?"
They also know how to calculate time. Every five thousand years, cultivators from the outside world will enter the "Holy Dragon Cave". But the last time it opened, it was still a long time ago. How could this happen?
"Hmph, how would I know? Go tell my dead bloodline!" The Dragon Scorpion Beast Ancestor angrily flicked its scorpion tail. It was currently feeling frustrated and didn't want to bring up this mess.
Upon seeing this, the other three Beast Ancestors exchanged glances, their expressions becoming somewhat serious.
"That doesn't make sense either. Even if outsiders entered, they shouldn't be able to threaten the Beast King... Could it be that the outside world has broken the agreement?!"
According to an agreement reached between their ancestors and the outside world several eras ago, the two sides agreed to keep to themselves and, in particular, not to send beings with "immortal-level" strength into the area!
This agreement has been maintained for a very long time, and the outside world has never broken the rules.
If.
To kill a Beast King, one must be at the so-called "Immortal Rank"!
"I'm afraid this is the only way."
The Dragon-Snake Beast Ancestor flicked its tongue, shook its head for a long time, but couldn't think of any other possibility. There was only one possibility: among the outsiders who entered this place, there was a Celestial-level cultivator who was extremely powerful and could threaten or even kill the Beast Emperor!
This also means that the agreement has been broken by the outside world!
"Damn it! I knew those guys outside were up to no good."
The Dragon Wolf Beast Ancestor gritted its teeth.
The other beast ancestors also cursed angrily.
Although they are demonic beasts, they are not lacking in intelligence. Having inherited such a powerful holy dragon bloodline from their ancestors, they are no longer comparable to dragons, even though they cannot be considered dragons in the traditional sense.
Everyone knows that those cultivators outside may not be trustworthy.
Back then, those cultivators all had the idea of going to war with the ancestors. In the end, they didn't fight and instead sought peace, simply because the Holy Dragon Cave was not always connected to the outside world!
Every five thousand years, there are only three days! After three days, those who remain inside will never be able to leave until five thousand years later.
Three days is not enough to sustain a major battle.
But perhaps the situation is different now?
Contrary to usual practice, the Sacred Dragon Cave broke its "mechanism" of connecting with the outside world only once every five thousand years. Since this can change, it means that "three days" can also change!
What if the connection is not just three days, but thirty days or three months?
Without a doubt, cultivators from the outside world will launch a massive attack on the Holy Dragon Cave, determined to dig this place upside down, all for the sake of obtaining the "treasure" they desire most!
"...Do you think those guys outside might be after this mountain?"
After a long while, the serpentine beast ancestor gently patted the mountain wall with its tail.
"Hiss~" "That's possible."
"Indeed, if they discover the cocoon left behind by the Holy Dragon, wouldn't that drive outsiders mad?"
All the beast ancestors gasped in unison, their eyes flashing.
As expected of a snake, its insight into issues is indeed sharp.
This solitary mountain is indeed very important.
Because the mountains contain the sacred dragon bone cocoon, which even their ancestors dared not offend or covet!
Yes, that holy dragon did die, but after it died, most of its flesh and blood were eaten by their ancestors. However, there were some things that they could not eat.
For example, the complete skeleton of the Holy Dragon, whose bones were as white as the moon, has turned into a "bone egg" over time.
The ancestors never dared to offend this sacred dragon bone cocoon. Somehow, they felt that the sacred dragon had only lost its flesh and blood, but certainly had not truly died. So they taught their descendants the same thing: this lonely mountain must be guarded, and the things in the mountain must never be offended!
This is true.
The reason why the five Beast Ancestors chose to slumber and lie dormant near Lonely Mountain was ultimately because of the Sacred Dragon Bone Cocoon in the mountain, which made them feel an irresistible desire to submit.
"I think that's probably the case."
The Dragon Bear Ancestor rubbed his large bear paws together: "This time, the outsider seems determined to obtain the Holy Dragon Bone Cocoon."
This matter is of utmost importance.
The Holy Dragon Bone Cocoon is something that must not be taken away by outsiders under any circumstances!
But considering that the outsider had already killed the Dragon Scorpion Beast King, there's no doubt that the other party came prepared and full of malice!
"We must fight!"
"Yes, we must fight! Let those damned outsiders never return!"
The beast ancestors became enraged and decided to unite and eliminate the external enemy first!
So the beast ancestors roared to the sky, summoning the beast kings of their respective clans.
The Dragon Scorpion Beast King is dead, so the remaining four Beast Kings absolutely cannot be allowed to die. The loss of even one of them would be a serious blow to our combat strength, let alone our ability to defend against external invasions.
"……and many more!"
"Someone is coming this way!"
"Dragon-Snake Beast Ancestor!" the dragon-snake beast ancestor suddenly said.
Its senses were the sharpest among all the beast ancestors, yet even it almost overlooked the outsider walking through the desert, step by step, heading this way.
He carried an ordinary-looking knife, and there wasn't a trace of cultivation about him... What a strange person.
