Chapter 634: Chapter 629: The Hidden Secret of Thunder Mountain
Thunder Mountain.
Bai Qi sat on a chair made of insect grass and vines, peeking at the dense forest below, and said, “We should be around here, let’s go down first.”
“Alright, boss.”
The insect grass nodded, quickly lowered its height, and steadily landed in the middle of a lake in the forest.
“The trees on Thunder Mountain are quite well-nourished, they all grow so robustly.”
Bai Qi looked at the strong trees around him, which were five to six people thick and taller than ten meters, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“It should be influenced by the power of nature here. The same is true for my Green Dragon Secret Realm.”
Nicholas curiously looked around, sniffed, but still didn’t find what he was looking for.
“Nicholas, you don’t need to worry so much, at least what we’ve found isn’t a dead green dragon, right?”
Bai Qi immediately comforted him when he saw this.
“It seems so.”
Nicholas’ expression improved a lot upon hearing this, and said, “This dragon found traces of the green dragon’s activity in the Jade Dream nearby. Maybe it’s resting in some unknown place.”
“Very possible. Let’s go and take a look around first, maybe we will find something new.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly. Nicholas had already shared his findings about Thunder Mountain with him.
Considering that the skeleton in the Coiling Dragon Stone was obviously an eastern dragon, but what awakened in the Hidden Dragon Cave was the bloodline of the western dragon, the secret underneath Thunder Mountain might be more complicated than they thought.
Therefore, their trip to Thunder Mountain to fight monsters this time, besides collecting Insect Guards for the insect grass, also had the goal of exploring the secrets of Thunder Mountain.
“Mmm, this dragon will also go to the Jade Dream to see if there are any new clues. There are many players in the Jade Dream here, maybe they can help.”
Nicholas nodded and directly entered the Jade Dream.
“Then let’s get started.”
Bai Qi stretched lazily, summoned all his pets, glanced at the data on the task board, and said, “The nearest to us should be the King Ferocious Beast that lives in this lake, the Azure Crocodile. Who will go?”
“We need to advance to Emperor soon, so let the others go.”
Schuck refused Bai Qi without hesitation, causing Beta, who was originally excited to go fishing in the water, to become extremely dejected.
To avoid further splitting their consciousness, they had returned to their old routine of doing everything together.
As for this, Schuck and Jerry didn’t care, one concentrated on researching Runes and machinery, and the other concentrated on meditating and self-improvement.
As the main consciousness, Beta had no choice but to be dragged along. Aside from continuously evolving his Indestructible Golden Body, he had nothing else to do.
Awoo, awoo…
(I want to go out and play…)
“You hold on for now. We still don’t know where the material to evolve the spirit is, so try to do it yourself first.”
Looking at the listless Husky lying on the ground, Bai Qi ruffled its head, a sunny smile appearing on his face.
“But if you change the face of the Indestructible Golden Body back to a dog’s face again, we’ll have dog meat tonight.”
Ka-pu, ka-pu?
(Dog meat? Where is it?)
Upon hearing this, Gamma was instantly energized. Its tall angel-like figure revealed a foodie expression, which was incredibly incongruous.
“Gamma, pay attention to your image, your eating habits don’t match your figure.”
Bai Qi looked at Gamma who had grown to the same size as Alpha and said, “It’s a good thing the Bo Ge family is gone, otherwise if they saw the angel-like figure of their family in such a state, they would definitely try to fight me to the death.”
Awoo, awoo…
(I think, they would also try to fight you to the death if they knew…)
Bai Qi: “Gamma, put the pot on and heat the oil!”
Awoo, awoo!
(I was wrong!)
Bang!!!
While everyone was playing around, a blue crocodile suddenly shot out from the calm lake. Its massive body of about twenty meters was oppressive even to look at.
As the ruler of this lake, the Azure Crocodile naturally noticed Bai Qi and his party approaching. It quietly moved closer while everyone was playing and suddenly launched a surprise attack when it had entered its attack range.
However, just as the Azure Crocodile opened its mouth to swallow Bai Qi and his pets in one bite, it suddenly felt a cold light in its eyes. Before it could see what it was, a terrifying pressure pressed it down and it dared not move.
Click clack, click clack.
(Behave and don’t move, wait for the boss to decide who will deal with you.)
Alpha held his sword, pointing it at the Azure Crocodile’s eye. The sharp sword intent firmly locked onto the Azure Crocodile. If it showed any signs of movement, Alpha would kill it immediately.
“Alpha, be careful not to scare it.”
Bai Qi motioned to Alpha to stop, then continued to look at the remaining pets.
“Alpha and Gamma are Emperor creatures, so they won’t go. Schuck, you guys can go back to practice. Delta, Epsilon, Jie Ta, which one of you three will try it out?”@@novelbin@@
Gurgle, gurgle.
(Delta can do it, listen to the master.)
Snoring sounds.
(I still have a drink left, I don’t want to go.)
“How about I do it, Boss?”
Insect Grass stepped forward and volunteered.
“Let’s have Epsilon do it. If his combat power is adequate, let him parasitize directly. After all, we don’t have a Water attribute Insect Guard yet.”
Bai Qi nodded and stepped back to make room. Alpha also sheathed his long sword, returning to Bai Qi’s side.
Bai Qi snapped his fingers to signal the beginning, but the Water Alligator seemed to be still stunned by Alpha’s intimidation, standing still as a statue.
“Boss, is this guy stupid?”
Insect Grass looked at the Water Alligator with concern. “If it’s so stupid, should we just not use it for parasitism?”
“No problem, they all end up brainless after you parasitize them anyway.”
Bai Qi was not concerned. “Start, we still have many targets to deal with.”
“Roger that.”
Insect Grass nodded, about to make his move, when the Water Alligator suddenly reacted. With a ferocious roar, the lake behind him suddenly stirred up a surge of waves, attacking Insect Grass.
“Brave moves there, Epsilon. Go easy on it.”
Seeing the Water Alligator’s maneuver, Bai Qi nodded approvingly. The Water Alligator was a Mid-Level King, its close combat abilities and fighting skills in water were not to be underestimated. That’s why Bai Qi decided to wipe it out first.
Despite being threatened by a creature as powerful as Alpha, this guy dared to struggle. Although it was a bit stupid, it indeed possessed praiseworthy courage.
“Don’t worry, Boss, I know what to do.”
Insect Grass dodged the Water Alligator’s attack with agile wing-beats. The Brilliant Sunlight on his head flickered, causing the wide-stretching tide that seemed ready to crush Bai Qi and the others to evaporate in an instant.
Confronted with the terrifying heat from above, the Water Alligator did not hesitate to turn around and swim deeper into the lake, totally opposite to its ferocity when it summoned the waves.
Fighting back was one thing, but it certainly couldn’t win. Escaping as fast as it could under the circumstances was the smartest move.
“Well done, pretending to run away.”
Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh at the sight, while Insect Grass seemed to be fooled by the enemy’s move and did not pursue directly.
Yet soon, a white belly surfaced from the center of the lake. It was the same Water Alligator that had escaped a moment ago.
As soon as Insect Grass activated the Brilliant Sunlight, the Water Alligator had been infected by the power of Dreamland. As it relaxed upon getting back to the lake, it instantly fell asleep.
Seeing this, Insect Grass flew to the side of the Water Alligator, lightly patted its head and only plunged his stinger into the Alligator’s body after confirming that it was indeed sound asleep.
Immediately, a dense paralytic toxin invaded the Water Alligator’s body. It didn’t even have time to react, before it completely lost the ability to resist. As a bundle of green energy was injected into its body, the Water Alligator began to change.
Its previously bulky belly started to shrink, and the scales on its body fell off one by one, replaced by dragon scales. Two pairs of wings thin as cicada’s appeared on its once hard carapace.
The biggest change, of course, was the Water Alligator’s eyes that were as small as mung beans.
“This form, is it a dragonfly?”
Looking at the Water Alligator’s compound eyes, which took up more than half of its head, Bai Qi couldn’t help but wonder. “Epsilon, are you sure these insect features are all random?”
“Yes, the Immortal Insect Exuviae contain many insect genes which are all included in the insect eggs. I am not sure which of them will appear.”
Epsilon shook his head, looking at the Water Alligator, which had now completely transformed into a dragonfly dragon, he retracted his stinger.
“Oh well, let it be random. It doesn’t affect their combat effectiveness anyway.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly, looking at the dragonfly dragon maneuvering close to the surface of the lake under the control of Insect Grass. He said, “Though, the combo of a dragonfly with a crocodile is somewhat…”
“Bizarre.”
Insect Grass nodded in agreement, raising his head in pride.
Including the insect guards and those awakened by the Awakening Potion, only he perfectly fused the advantages of insects and the Dragon Race. This look, with admirable aesthetic values.
As for the Insect Guards, the weirder they looked, the better. Otherwise, how would his handsome presence be highlighted?
“Alright, now that this one is taken care of, let’s move to the next location.”
Bai Qi signaled for Insect Grass to wrap up the dragonfly dragon, after looking over the mission board, he said, “The next target is the Earth Attribute King Ferocious Beast, Stupid Hulking Shell.”
“Okay, Boss, get on—I’ll fly you there directly.”
Insect Grass nodded, letting Bai Qi mount on his back and they continued to fly deeper into Thunder Mountain.
…
On the other side of Thunder Mountain.
Several Abominable Butchers retracted their Bloody Flesh Hooks from a ferocious beast, then skillfully dissected it with butcher knives and stuck the flesh onto their bodies.
“There is indeed some commotion in Thunder Mountain, the vitality of the ferocious beasts’ blood and flesh inside the mountain has increased significantly.”
A figure stepped out from the shadow of a tree, looking at the pieces of flesh gradually integrating into the Abominable Butchers’ bodies.
“Yeah.”
Another man nodded, retracting the Abominable Butcher, he said, “But Headmaster, if we’re just after this flesh, there is no need for us to come here ourselves, right?”
“Hehe~ Of course, it’s not just for these.”
The man looked up at the undulating mountain range in the distance and said, “What’s buried under Thunder Mountain is far more than you think.”
What do you think?
