Chapter 1285 - 1284: Demon Beast Territory
Chapter 1285 - 1284: Demon Beast Territory
"Cover your ears, don't use Immortal Energy Protection."Black Hair was also quite frightened, but at this moment, in order not to lose these two allies, he proactively offered a solution.
Tang Rao withdrew his Immortal Energy Protection and covered his ears, and indeed it got much better.
"Do you know why this mountain is called Lion Mountain?"
Black Hair gave Tang Rao and the others some information.
The two shook their heads.
"Because on Lion Mountain, the lion that roared earlier is the leader. It's been the Guardian God of this mountain for many years, so the mountain was later renamed to Lion Mountain."
Hearing this, Tang Rao finally understood the origin of Lion Mountain.
Thankfully, he met these people and didn't blindly rush up and get bitten to death by the lion.
"This lion is the guard of the Seven-colored Dragon."
Burp!
As soon as Black Hair said this, Tang Rao was so scared he started hiccupping.
The lion is just the guard of the Seven-colored Dragon, yet Black Hair and the others dared to think they could take down the Seven-colored Dragon.
Were they planning to throw Tang Rao at the lion, and while the lion ate Tang Rao, they would make a move on the Seven-colored Dragon?
"The lion's strength is at least above the level of a top god, and the Seven-colored Dragon's strength might be even higher. Do you think just a few of you can take down both the Seven-colored Dragon and the lion?"
Tang Rao certainly believed they couldn't achieve it.
"That's why we're trying to come up with a plan."
Yellow Hair said to Tang Rao.
"Coming up with a plan, even the three of us can't deal with those two huge creatures. Moreover, we don't know if there are other powerful figures around them. But just because we don't know, doesn't mean we should take risks!"
Tang Rao made a sensible point, and Black Hair and Yellow Hair were also thinking about this issue. When they saw it in the ancient books, they didn't realize the Seven-colored Dragon was so powerful.
"Boss, should we wait a bit?"
The sound just now gave Yellow Hair goosebumps all over. And now he's supposed to go forward?
His nerves were about to break from fright.
"You can regret it now, but if you choose not to go, you'll have to hand over everything on you."
Black Hair was truly ruthless. Those were treasures Yellow Hair had painstakingly gathered, but if Yellow Hair decided not to go, all his efforts would immediately become someone else's possessions.
"I'll go."
The treasures were too many and too valuable, so Yellow Hair was determined to risk his life to protect them.
"My strength is lacking. Going up there is no different from seeking death. How about I stay below and guard your stuff?"
Tang Rao put on a fearful expression, and Black Hair glared at him, making Tang Rao dare not continue speaking.
"Roar!"
As the three were still discussing whether to proceed, another lion roar descended upon them.
This time, Yellow Hair instinctively used Immortal Energy Protection, and it resulted in him being directly shaken into coughing blood.
"I'm not going. Here is everything I have on me. I'll wait for you here."
Just moments ago, he said he would go, but after being startled by the lion, Yellow Hair firmly decided not to go.
Black Hair took the Space Ring offered by Yellow Hair and, without blinking, directly left Yellow Hair behind.
"Since you want to wait, I'll let you wait properly."
Yellow Hair's skull was crushed, and the mixed white and red mass almost made the delicate Tang Rao vomit on the spot.
"How about you? Are you still going up?"
Black Hair gave Tang Rao a look. How could Tang Rao dare to say he wasn't going up? His feet ran faster than anyone else's.
Death was something Tang Rao feared equally.
Black Hair did not make a move on Tang Rao.
Because Tang Rao was obedient.
Just like before, Black Hair never feared their strength. He wanted people who followed orders and got things done. Those who neither worked nor listened were useless to Black Hair, so he conveniently got rid of them.
This time, Tang Rao did not walk behind Black Hair as usual but walked side by side.
This man was naturally suspicious, even more than Tang Rao. Tang Rao didn't want to cause any unpleasantness with Black Hair again due to incomplete tasks.
"There's something up ahead."
As Black Hair was still walking forward, Tang Rao had already sensed something unusual and immediately stopped, blocking Black Hair as well.
"What?"
Black Hair wasn't as alert as Tang Rao. If he walked twenty more meters ahead, Tang Rao could guarantee Black Hair would be dead now.
This would have been a good thing, but the issue was that once those people discovered Black Hair, they would also discover Tang Rao. Either both survive or neither, a simple choice.
"Ahead is their guard territory, the area they've delineated. Demon beasts guard this place; if a human enters, they will be discovered immediately."
Even though Tang Rao had never been here, he was even clearer about the rules here than Black Hair, who knew these things.
Fortunately, with Tang Rao's help, Black Hair avoided falling into a trap.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Black Hair gradually began to rely on Tang Rao.
"It's no use; because we're not part of the demon beast circle. Humans don't have the scent of demon beasts, so it's easy to be discovered by those inside. Don't you know that?"
It would be strange if humans and demon beasts had similar scents.
"How can we get in?"
Tang Rao was getting a bit impatient from the questioning.
If I knew how to get in, why would I be waiting here?
"I don't know, I haven't been here before. Your ancestors mentioned the Seven-colored Dragon and a route map, didn't they say how to get up?"
Black Hair took out the ancient book, flipped through it, and found that once it reached the place where Yellow Hair died, the route map was gone.
"There's no more; the route map only goes to Yellow Hair's location."
To Black Hair, this ancient book was now a book of little use.
"It seems this book might not be very useful to you. Could you let me take a look?"
Tang Rao didn't feel ashamed asking for things.
"Take it."
Black Hair tossed the book casually, and Tang Rao caught it just right.
"Thanks, let me see if there's a way written on it."
Tang Rao flipped through two pages and discovered that the introduction to the Seven-colored Dragon was even more detailed than the book in Liu Yu's family Treasure Vault. The strength and usage of the Seven-colored Dragon were all recorded inside. With just one glance, Tang Rao memorized its contents.
"Got it, did you see those two low-level demon beasts over there? If we kill them, grab their Token, and absorb some of their Demonic Qi, wouldn't we be able to..."
Would be able to get in?
Black Hair looked at those two demon beasts; they weren't strong, dealing with them would be simple; you just need a bit of cleverness to attract the demon beast out.
"It's a good idea, but attracting the demon beast out, this task I'll leave to you."
Black Hair was adept at burning bridges; and he hadn't even crossed the river before he wanted to burn the bridge.
Asking Tang Rao to attract the demon beast, in such a dangerous situation, Tang Rao wasn't afraid to go, but he did have some reservations.
