Chapter 491 - 205: Seizing the Grotto Heaven, Giant Beast Remains! (Part 2)
If it weren’t for the fact that it looks like a sheep, it would almost look like a human.
Saint High Sun, that’s the respectful title given to it by the Ant Slaves.
There’s no other way, when it advanced to Tier Four, these Ant Slaves were incredibly resourceful, showering it with flattery after flattery.
Gao Yang means the sun high in the sky.
It symbolizes that it is like the great sun in the sky, casting its radiance upon these Ant Slaves.
Just listen, how skillful these Ant Slaves are.
They make it seem like if it doesn’t accept this title, these Ant Slaves would feel like living in eternal darkness.
Gao Yang walked all the way, from afar seeing the beast tide sweeping in.
At a glance, they were all ordinary Wild Beasts, at most Tier One or Two, even some unranked Wild Beasts.
Its gaze swept around, trying to locate the leader among the Wild Beasts.
But as its gaze swept past, it suddenly froze.
A group of aged apes surrounded by intense blood energy... this aura... Tier Three Peak, there were at least over twenty of them.
The Golden-winged Tigers flapping their wings, dozens of them, also Tier Three Peak.
With cyan wings screeching in the air, the Cyan Simurghs, dozens of them, still Tier Three Peak.
And those mooing... Tier Three Peak.
Among them, there were two even more robust Fire Apes and Old Oxen, their aura somewhat surpassing Tier Three.
Looking over, there were at least over a hundred Tier Three Peak Wild Beasts.
What the hell is going on!
It was here to kill the leader Wild Beast.
Surely all of these over a hundred Tier Three Peak Wild Beasts can’t all be the leaders.
In an instant, Gao Yang Earth Ant figured it out, the Tier Three Peaks were gathered, the leader must be at least Tier Four.
But this is the Heaven-Breaking Mountain Range, not the Giant Mountain Range.
Outside the Grotto Heaven, where the Spiritual Mechanism has long dissipated, it’s hard enough to raise a Tier Three Peak Wild Beast.
Boom!
A black light burst like a cannon from the beast group, charging toward Gao Yang Earth Ant.
The one attacking was the Dragon Bear.
It started with a Dragon Bear bump.
Enveloped in a scorching aura, it curled up into a black ball, launched from the ground, colliding squarely with Gao Yang Earth Ant.
Rumble!
In haste, Gao Yang lifted its hoof, earth-yellow mysterious light emerging on it.
With a crack, the earth-yellow mysterious light on its hoof splattered, the raised leg snapped, and its body continued to have intimate contact with the Dragon Bear.
In an instant, Gao Yang Earth Ant felt this was inappropriate, after all, they just met, and weren’t of the same kind.
It then propelled backward, the broken leg’s white bone piercing through flesh, blood streaming down.
Clang, clang!
Before Gao Yang Earth Ant landed, a red-gold sword aura slashed through the air, as sharp as lightning, striking its body.
Puff!
Before landing, a wound was cleaved on its back, Gao Yang Earth Ant screamed repeatedly, retreating swiftly.
"Yuefu, save me!"
Gao Yang Earth Ant ran desperately, its body wrapped in a blood aura, stepping with three hooves, limping but running smoothly.
On the open ground among the hills below, a group of Ant Slaves watched Gao Yang Earth Ant returning from the endless hills outside, habitually kneeling once more.
"Saint High Sun is mighty!"
Rumble!
Huo Xiong struck again, flipping in the air and crashing towards Gao Yang Earth Ant once more.
Simultaneously, the red-gold sword light slashed down.
Unable to counterattack, Gao Yang Earth Ant was still struck soaring upward, then plummeting down sharply.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar resounded.
The Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast hidden among the ordinary Wild Beast group shot up instantly, reaching the falling Gao Yang Earth Ant before the Dragon Bear could collide again.
In a flash, the little lizard turned into a Great Wilderness Dragon.
Boom!
A Desolate Dragon swung its tail, as thick as a mountain, its black scales glimmering sharply, striking directly at Gao Yang Earth Ant.
With a loud explosion, the entire Gao Yang Earth Ant burst apart, its shattered body scattered across the ground.
On the ground, feeling the scent of blood dispersing, the kneeling Ant Slave looked shocked and bewildered.
"Saint High Sun... is dead!"
In an instant, sheep heads, sheep legs, sheep hooves, and sheep stomachs... scattered in all directions.
The Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast opened its mouth wide, sucking the remaining blood and meat on its tail into its mouth.
"Old Bear, thank you, your sneak attack tactic worked wonders."
...
"Aren’t you afraid of the wrath of my Holy Race for killing Gao Yang!"
A slightly trembling voice, fierce but timid, still spoke, "This is my East Marsh Holy Race..."
"Beat it to death!"
The Dragon Horn, Golden Sword, and Huo Xiong, the three Clan Guardian Beasts, exchanged a glance and charged at the speaking Earth Ant.
This Earth Ant was precisely the Yuefu that Gao Yang had just called out.
Without exception, Yuefu was also the honorific title given by the Ant Slaves.
When it comes to flattering Earth Ants, the Ant Slaves are quite accomplished.
A group of soil diggers were even called a Holy Race, and the Earth Ant recognized it.
Rumble!
The three-headed Wild Beast showed no regard for any sense of animal virtue, Dragon Bear and Dragon Horn rushed in for close collisions, and the Golden Sword flapped its wings outside, slashing down a Red Gold Sword Light at the right moment.
The Old Profound Turtle had no intention of taking action, it was here just in case.
The three-headed Wild Beast besieged the Tier Four Earth Ant, while Tian Dan and Huo Ning began leading the clansmen to drive the Wild Beasts and clear out the Earth Ants in the Grotto Heaven.
Under the attack of two hundred clan members with Celestial Vein Ninth Layer Combat Power, plus so many Wild Beasts, even though the Earth Ants drove the Ant Slaves to resist at the front, they still collapsed at the first touch.
...
The Profound Turtle landed on the gray-white hillock, and from the moment it entered, it noticed that the gray-white hillocks inside this Grotto Heaven were completely devoid of vegetation.
In the Great Wilderness, there are many places where not a blade of grass grows, and this situation is not uncommon.
However, these undulating white hillocks made it feel a bit off.
Then, the Old Profound Turtle soared into the air, continuously heading towards the highest point of the Grotto Heaven.
Looking down from high above, the entire undulating hillocks, though somewhat disjointed, looked like the entire skeleton left after a Wild Beast had fallen.
The entire region of these white bone hillocks stretched for more than three thousand miles.
If indeed a Wild Beast had died here and its bones had petrified, then this Wild Beast was indeed colossal.
At this moment, the Old Profound Turtle was somewhat skeptical, wondering if it had guessed wrong.
Having lived for so many years, it had never seen such an enormous Wild Beast, nor had it even heard a corresponding legend.
Is this still a Wild Beast? It’s practically a moving land.
Unconvinced, it descended once again onto the hillocks, raising its turtle claw and striking down.
The gray-white areas of the hillocks were easily shattered, hollow inside and riddled with cavities, having already pulverized with time.
However, some places were incredibly sturdy; when smashed open, the stone inside was also gray-white, with fine, vein-like markings.
Upon closer inspection, it indeed resembled petrified bone.
The Old Profound Turtle arrived at the excavation site of the Ant Slaves and struck down with a turtle paw.
With a ’crack,’ a crack appeared on the gray-white stone, and an elusive pressure leaked out from the fissure.
Rumble! Rumble!
Then, it struck several more times, the crack gradually widened, and a portion of the hillock began to collapse.
Buzz!
An even stronger pressure than before surged out, and within the crumbling hillock, thicker veins appeared.
These veins were intermittent, with a few gold-blood colored crystals embedded within the stone at certain points.
The gold-blood colored crystals weren’t large, but they made the Old Profound Turtle’s bloodline origin tremble abruptly.
"What is this? I feel an urge to consume it."
Dragon Bear, carrying the skull of the Earth Ant it had just defeated, came near the Old Profound Turtle.
"They’re too small; it would be better if there were more."
Saying so, Dragon Bear threw away the Earth Ant from its bear paw, also striking at the hillock with its large hand.
With a rumbling noise, vast amounts of shattered stones splattered, but within the cracked stone, there were only scattered gold-blood colored crystals, the largest being just the size of an infant’s fist.
"Don’t eat this, have the Golden Sword deliver it back to the Ancestral Temple Keeper, who will understand its use when seeing the Crystal Stone."
The Profound Turtle looked at the fist-sized crystal and said, "Also, take my message back; there’s something odd about this Grotto Heaven, inquire if the Ancestral Temple Keeper has any instructions."
