The Night King: The Asura
Ch-275′s. Helping the Beasts
After killing and preying on the man who tortured them, the Beasts then walked up to Xie Long and Xiao Xue who were still there, then they all lowered their heads to say thank you.
"Here you go, there's no need to say thank you" said Xiao Xue, who understood the Beast's intentions.
Although they had been allowed to leave from there, but the Beasts still had not budged in the least, they all also set their sights on the black crystal that Xie Long had in hand.
Although he did not understand the language of the Beasts, but from the gaze of all of them, Xie Long could guess if they wanted the black crystal, but he was a little worried because he also wanted it.
Then, a wolf approached Xie Long, then bit his sleeve and pulled him slowly, "Master, it seems like they want to show us something" Xiao Xue said.
Xie Long nodded, "Alright, show me the way."
In the depths of the forest.
After nearly half an hour of following the Beasts, Xie Long and Xiao Xue finally arrived at the enormous cave, in front of the cave mouth were dozens of other Beasts staring into the cave.
"Sir..."
"I know, let's go in" said Xie Long, then followed the previous Beasts into the cave.
In the depths of the cave, there was a giant snake that was dying, all over its body there were so many wounds that were very severe due to the fight, and it could be said, the giant snake could no longer be healed.
"Now I understand why they want this black crystal so badly" Xie Long murmured, then walked up to the giant snake.
After that, Xie Long used his strength to make the black crystal float in the air, then he moved the black crystal closer to the head of the giant snake.
When the distance was very close, the black crystal then shot out and directly stuck to the snake's forehead, along with that, the entire wound on the entire body of the giant snake began to slowly disappear.
In addition to the wound that gradually healed, the condition of the snake also began to improve, even he was able to open his eyes and lift his head, until finally, the condition of the snake was completely recovered.
"Thank you, I didn't expect there to be good-hearted people like you" the snake said.
"No need to thank you, I did it for the sake of the Beasts in this forest" Xie Long said.
"But, if I may know, what really happened to you?"
The giant snake hissed, then told him about his fight with the ruler of the southern forest, and that was the reason that left him so badly injured, that he almost lost his life.
"And regarding that human, he was only lucky to be able to take the black crystal from me, because at the time we fought my condition was very badly injured."
"It turned out that way, it was only fitting that he could get that black crystal" murmured Lin Feng.
"Can you tell me about the ruler of the southern forest?"
"What do you have to do with him?"
"It's nothing, I just want to hear about him, and if I'm interested, maybe I'll fight him" Xie Long replied.
The giant snake again hissed and stared intently at Xie Long, and from the look in his eyes, it could be seen if the giant snake was investigating Xie Long's strength, but unfortunately he found nothing.
Although he did not find anything special in Xie Long's body, the giant snake still told about the southern ruler, ranging from strength to the number of Beast troops he had in his territory.
"I've explained everything I know, and what will be now?"
"Your woes are quite interesting, so I will come there to challenge them" Xie Long replied.
"I won't forbid you, but it would be nice if you undo your intentions."
"You take it easy, I won't challenge him if I can't defeat him" said Xie Long.
"This pearl is indeed not comparable to a black crystal, but the energy within it is enough to make his cultivation level decrease."
"It's not necessary" said Xie Long.
"Please, don't reject it, and just think of this pearl as my gratitude to you both."
Xie Long smiled, then grabbed the pearl that was hovering in front of him, "Thank you, in exchange, I will kill the southern ruler for you."
"What?!"
"Calm down, tomorrow you'll see the body, and that's all that's left" said Xie Long, who had walked out of the cave.
The reason Xie Long wanted to hunt down the southern ruler was not because of that giant snake or anything else, he did so just because he wanted to take out the soul crystal belonging to the southern ruler.
After all, the black crystal was a resource that he wanted so much, but it was impossible for him to snatch it from the snake, moreover he had already kindly exchanged it for the pearl that was now in his hands.
Even so, just relying on the energy from the pearl alone would not be able to increase his strength, so he would have to obtain additional resources, and the current ruler was the answer.
"Do you believe you want to challenge the southern ruler?"
"If I'm not sure I won't take you there" replied Xie Long.
"Here you go, you better prepare yourself, because tonight we're going to hit the headquarters of the southern ruler."
"Good, master!"
***
Time continued to roll and the night had arrived, in the forest, there were two young men who were traveling at high speed towards the southern region of the forest, they were none other than Xie Long and Xiao Xue.
"Front there" said Xie Long.
"Sir, I feel the aura of the existence of a Beast that is very much there" Xiao Xue said.
"You take care of them all, I will face the ruler of the south."
"Sir, this is too dangerous."
"You take it easy, I won't fight it if I'm not sure of my own strength."
Xiao Xue nodded, "Alright, but master must be careful."
Xiao Xue darted flying ahead of her master to pave the way for her master, because in order to reach the southern ruler, Xiao Xue had to distract the hundreds of Beasts first.
After Xiao Xue left him, Xie Long then darted flying towards the top of the mountain, because according to the information of the giant snake, the mountain peak was where the ruler of the southern forest was located.
Arriving at the top of the mountain.
"I didn't expect that a human like you would have the courage to come here."
Xie Long frowned looking at the giant black eagle in front of him, "What's wrong? After all, nothing scares me to come here."
"Haha!"
"So you're not afraid of me? And what do you think, you can defeat me with such little power?"
"The results will be visible after our fight is over" Xie Long replied.
