Needless to say, dragons were a very powerful existence on the Flame Dragon Continent. Magical beasts that had some connection with dragons or had some nepotism were also very powerful.
As a distant relative of dragons, the Giant Spike Dragon had no way of knowing what kind of creature it was born from. However, there was no doubt that the Giant Spike Dragon was very powerful. As a magical beast at the peak of the sixth rank and close to the seventh rank, the Giant Spike Dragon's combat strength was equivalent to a peak general. Due to the twelve poisonous spikes on its back, even a Marshal didn't want to provoke it.
Ye Qinghan was currently at the first rank of the commander realm. He was still a distance away from the second rank. Although Xiao Hei was a sacred beast, he was still in a weakened state. He was more or less like a human infant. How could you expect an infant to kill a two meter tall man? Although this infant was very strong!
"Boss, hold on tight. I'm going to increase my speed again."
Xiao Hei became silent after sending the message. He increased his speed again and traveled through the forest. The Giant Spike Dragon's enormous figure charged forward. Everywhere it passed, the trees fell to the ground. It was a complete mess. Its loud roar shook up the fallen leaves and startled flocks of unknown birds.
"Xiao Hei, go to the left. Go to a place with more trees. Go to an open area. You can't outrun it."
Ye Qinghan tightly hugged Xiao Hei's neck, her entire body sticking to Xiao Hei's body. She could hear the whistling of the wind and the roar of the Giant Spike Dragon that was getting closer and closer. She scanned the terrain in front of her and loudly roared in Xiao Hei's ear.
The calf-sized Soul Devouring Beast Xiao Hei's eyes flashed with a cold light as it lowered its head slightly. Hearing Ye Qinghan's shout, it looked to the left and made a beautiful turn. It didn't slow down at all and turned into the forest on the left.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Soul Devouring Beast turned into a gust of wind and continuously moved through the forest to dodge. When they turned corners and corners, their speed did not decrease at all. Their speed reached a terrifying level.
The Giant Spike Dragon was clearly infuriated. Its temper flared as it chased after them relentlessly. Its huge body was like a huge bulldozer as it chased after them in a straight line. Wherever it passed, the flat and dense forest was actually flattened, leaving behind a path that was a few meters wide.
The Soul Devouring Beast, Xiao Hei, was a bit slower in comparison, but its body was nimble. It jumped, slid sideways, and turned without slowing down in the slightest. The Giant Spinosaurus was slightly faster, but the dense ancient trees and vines affected its performance. Thus, the speed of the two sides was actually equal, maintaining a distance of about half a kilometer.
"Damn you! Why is this bastard dragon always staring at us? It's not like my meat tastes good. " They had been running at top speed for nearly fifty minutes, but the giant Spike Dragon was still hot on their heels. It seemed that it wouldn't give up until it killed them. Ye Qinghan couldn't help but feel somewhat anxious and helpless as he angrily cursed.
"My meat is delicious! In my inherited memories, dragons and my race are sworn enemies. Once we meet, we won't rest until one of us dies. "The Soul Devouring Beast, Xiao Hei, silently hurried on their way. After a long time, it sent a sound transmission.
Won't rest until one of us dies!
Damn, I've never heard of a strange beast like the Soul Devouring Beast before. However, since it could become a sworn enemy of dragons, it must be very powerful.
I must think of a way to get rid of it. Otherwise, I'll definitely die. Xiao Hei's transformation time was only two hours per day. Including the one-horned rhinoceros they had just killed, it had taken about an hour and twenty minutes.
Forty minutes. If they still couldn't get rid of it in forty minutes, then the only result that awaited him and Xiao Hei was death.
Ye Qinghan secretly calculated in his heart. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.
"Xiao Hei, turn right. We're going to the Fire Wolf Pack's residence."
… …
At the outskirts of the mountain range.
Six men in black were hurrying on their way. The six of them seemed to be looking for something. On the way, they encountered magical beasts and hunters, but they didn't care at all. The six of them circulated their Battle Aura and released their aura. Regardless of whether it was the magical beasts or the hunters, they almost immediately turned around and fled.
Suddenly, one of the black-clothed men in front stopped, and the five people behind him also stopped behind him. The man in black turned around and looked at a short man in black behind him. He said in a low voice, "We've been hurrying for so long. We should be close to the target soon. Niu Jin, sense the direction of the target."
"Yes, Lord Xue Yi."
The short man in black called Liu Jun said respectfully with his head lowered. Then, he hurriedly sat cross-legged and fell silent.
That's right, these five people were the guards under Xue Wuhen's command. They were sent by Xue Wuhen to capture Ye Qinghan. The five of them, along with Head Steward Liu's subordinates, Niu Jin, and six others, had already been in the mountains for many days.
A month ago, Niu Jin had been ordered by Head Steward Liu to plant a tracking bug on Ye Qinghan's hair. This bug was only the size of a flea. It would stick to the hair. Unless Ye Qinghan shaved his hair, it wouldn't fall off because of wind or water. This was a special skill of the Xue family.
"Lord Xue Yi, we've already sensed it. The target is currently in the inner area of the mountains. He's walking in our direction. If we move fast, we'll probably meet him in half an hour."
The short man in black, Xiao Hei, opened his eyes and said happily after a while.
Xue Yi glanced at him coldly, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness. "Oh? You barged into hell. Xue Er, take Liu Jun with you. We'll speed up. We'll bring the target back today. I don't want to stay in this damn place any longer. "
"Yes, Big Brother!" A man in black answered and prepared to carry the short man in black. Unexpectedly, Niu Jin suddenly waved his hand and said, "Lord Xue Yi, if we continue in this direction, we can indeed meet the target quickly. However, it's the territory of the Fire Wolves. It might be a bit troublesome."
"Fire Wolves? Fourth-level magical beasts! "Xue Yi frowned and showed a hint of dissatisfaction," How many are there? "
"Eighty to a hundred," Niu Jin answered honestly.
"Let's go!" Xue Yi heard this and showed a faint disdain in his eyes. Although a hundred Fire Wolves was a bit troublesome, if he wanted to kill them, the five of them could kill all of them. Therefore, he waved his hand without hesitation and led the way.
… …
"Xiao Hei, how much longer can you last?"
Sitting on Xiao Hei's back, Ye Qinghan's complexion wasn't very good. However, no matter who it was, after being chased by a terrifying Giant Spike Dragon for over an hour, their complexion and mood wouldn't be good either.
"Ten minutes at most. It's all up to you now." The Soul-devouring Beast, Xiao Hei, panted heavily as he continued to run quickly. He had formed a soul contract with Ye Qinghan. He knew very well that if Ye Qinghan died, his soul would also dissipate. Therefore, although his physical strength was at its limit, he still planned to last for another ten minutes.
"Ten minutes? That's enough. "Looking at the familiar terrain and the familiar mountain in the distance, Ye Qinghan felt a bit more at ease. That mountain was called Fire Wolf Mountain by adventurers. There was a pack of about a hundred Fire Wolves inside. Fire Wolves were rank four magical beasts. Because they could spit fireballs, they were called Fire Wolves.
One Fire Wolf might not be scary, but a pack of Fire Wolves was very scary. Moreover, the Fire Wolves were extremely united. As long as one Fire Wolf was attacked, the rest of the Fire Wolves would rush over and spray a dense fireball towards the enemy. Warriors who hadn't reached the General Realm and couldn't form battle armor outside of their battle aura would definitely die if they were surrounded by a pack of Fire Wolves. Moreover, it was said that the leader of the Fire Wolves was a peak rank five magical beast. The fireballs it spat could melt battle armor formed from battle aura and instantly kill a General Realm warrior. Therefore, Fire Wolf Mountain was a forbidden area for low-level warriors in the Savage Mountain Range.
Ye Qinghan was currently at the Commander Realm. His beast, Xiao Hei's transformation was about to disappear, so Fire Wolf Mountain was also a forbidden area for him. But at this moment, he couldn't wait to immediately enter Fire Wolf Mountain and say to the wolf cubs inside that could spit fire … My dear, I'm coming.
Because the big guy behind him was a monster ten times stronger than the Fire Wolves. The Fire Wolves might slowly roast him, but that guy would definitely kill him in an instant.
"Boss, it's up to you. I'm going back to rest."
Looking at the Fire Wolf Mountain that was close at hand, Ye Qinghan nodded heavily and jumped off Xiao Hei's back. Circulating his battle aura to the limit, his footsteps were steady and powerful as he quickly rushed towards Fire Wolf Mountain. Xiao Hei took a few deep breaths, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and caught up with Ye Qinghan. It entered his body and entered the resting area of the Warbeast Space.
As soon as he entered Fire Wolf Mountain, Ye Qinghan suddenly lightened his footsteps, as if he was a thief who had burgled into someone else's house. He started to sneak around. From one tree to another, his body was as light as a swallow, like a leopard cat in the night.
"Roar!"
"Ao! Ao! "
The giant Spike Dragon behind him rushed into Fire Wolf Mountain without hesitation. Its brutal and tyrannical aura immediately caused the owner of Fire Wolf Mountain to be dissatisfied. Wolf howls that refused to be outdone immediately rang out in the mountain.
… …
"Let's do it, we must do it!"
Ye Qinghan mumbled non-stop. His footsteps became even more light, afraid that he would wake up the sleeping owner of the mountain.
Xiu, xiu!
A few fiery red shadows shot over from afar. Ye Qinghan immediately stuck to a thick tree trunk, held his breath, and restrained his aura. Only when a few wolf shadows passed under his body and quickly retreated did he heave a sigh of relief. Touching his forehead, he found that it was full of cold sweat.
Lightly turning around, he glanced back. It seemed that there was really a conflict in the distance. Roars and angry roars were endless.
Eh! More Fire Wolves are coming!
Ye Qinghan was so scared that he immediately crouched down, not daring to move at all. Only when the few Fire Wolves quickly ran away did he gently twist his body and move to the side even more carefully.
Along the way, he slowly moved at a speed of ten kilometers per hour. However, the further he went, the more Fire Wolves rushed over. The roars from afar also became more violent. From time to time, he could hear the sound of trees falling and the charging footsteps of the giant Spike Dragon.
"Good, they finally started fighting! But? Why do I feel that the giant Spike Dragon is still approaching me? "Jumping from tree to tree, Ye Qinghan occasionally looked back through the dense leaves. In the distance, green smoke began to rise. At this moment, he was very sure that the Fire Wolves and the giant Spike Dragon were fighting. The green smoke was caused by the fireballs that the Fire Wolves spat out. However … why were the huge footsteps behind him still approaching him?
So many Fire Wolves besieging it were useless?
Ye Qinghan didn't dare to think too much. Under the condition of ensuring his safety, he increased his speed as much as possible.
Behind him, the situation was just as Ye Qinghan had thought. Although there were more than thirty Fire Wolves gathered, the giant Spike Dragon, as the overlord of the inner area of the mountain, didn't care about these low-level wolf cubs.
The giant Spike Dragon's nose twitched. Its huge head seemed to be puzzled. Why did the aura of that annoying Exotic Beast disappear? It was just that in its inherited memories, this annoying Small Beast had to be killed on sight. Now that the Small Beast's aura had disappeared, it could only tear apart the human that was with the Small Beast to ease its annoyance from chasing after it for half a day.
The giant Spike Dragon's unreasonableness and arrogance angered the local Fire Wolves. Wolves were prideful. Although this big fellow's aura was very terrifying, when it saw the giant Spike Dragon charging towards its nest, it didn't care about the Fire Wolves' warning at all. Thus, the Fire Wolves began to attack. Overwhelming fireballs surged forward, leaving the rapidly advancing giant Spike Dragon with nowhere to hide.
The giant Spike Dragon indeed had nowhere to hide, or rather, it didn't want to hide at all. It relied on the huge green scales on its body to resist more than thirty fireballs.
"Bang, bang!"
The huge fireballs smashed onto the scales, causing sparks to fly everywhere. The sparks splashed onto the damp weeds, causing green smoke to rise.
"Roar …"
The fireballs didn't cause much damage to the giant Spike Dragon, but its green scales turned black. The already berserk giant Spike Dragon became even more berserk. Its huge head roared towards the sky, its eyes the size of a human's head turning blood red. It decided to teach these little reptiles a lesson, even though the Fire Wolves were also reptiles.
With a sweep of its iron whip-like tail, three approaching Fire Wolves were sent flying. With a swipe of its two huge dragon claws, another two Fire Wolves were flattened. The Fire Wolves scattered in all directions, not daring to get close to it. The giant Spike Dragon didn't chase after them in a frenzy. It only chased after the Fire Wolves in Ye Qinghan's direction.
The Fire Wolves also felt that this big fellow wasn't easy to deal with, but the wolf corpses lying on the ground and the slowly flowing wolf blood forced them to fight. They didn't dare to get close, so they wandered around and spat out fireballs from time to time. They kept howling towards the sky, calling for more companions and their leader.
… …
"Sir, something doesn't seem right!"
On the other side of the Fire Wolf Mountain, the short Niu Jin carefully listened to the continuous howls of the wolves and spoke to Xue Yi with a gloomy expression.
"Are you sure the target is on this mountain?" Xue Yi's expression didn't change at all. He only asked coldly.
"The target is indeed on the mountain, but the situation on the mountain seems a bit strange …" The short Niu Jin's heart was filled with panic. He lived in the Barbarian City all year round, so he had an instinctive reaction to danger. Therefore, he was very sure that the Fire Wolf Mountain was very dangerous, very dangerous.
"You stay, let's go!"
The cold voice was filled with absolute confidence. Five silhouettes quickly passed through the mountain. In their eyes, the Fire Wolf Mountain was a mountain of knives, a sea of fire. They could definitely get out of it easily …
Boom! Boom!
The roars of the giant Spike Dragon became louder and louder. Its huge footsteps seemed to shake the ground. Ye Qinghan wiped the sweat from the corner of his eyes and licked his dry lips. He didn't dare to stop for even a second and quickly passed through the forest.
"Awoo …"
An even louder howl came from not far away. The howl was like a sharp sword piercing through the clouds, making everyone's eardrums hurt. Then, wolf howls came from all around the mountain. For a moment, the entire Fire Wolf Mountain was filled with wolf howls, as if the soldiers were responding to their marshal's call.
"Fire Wolf King!"
Ye Qinghan was not alarmed but delighted instead. The corners of his mouth curled up as he rubbed his hands together and leaped onto a nearby tree. Using both his hands and feet, he scuttled into the dense foliage and covered his entire body. Only his two black eyes could be seen as he looked ahead.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Not long after, wolf silhouettes could be seen in all directions. Streaks of fiery red silhouettes shot towards the same direction like rockets. Among them, there was a tall and sturdy wolf silhouette with a frightening speed. Ye Qinghan only saw a patch of red bushes sweep past before it disappeared.
Awoo! Awoo! Roar!
Due to the addition of the Fire Wolf King, the battle seemed to be even more intense. Wolf howls, loud roars, and the sound of trees falling could be heard continuously.
Go!
If he didn't go now, when would he?
Ye Qinghan confirmed that most of the Fire Wolves had already rushed over. With a light shout, he activated his Battle Qi with all his might. He did not hold back or hide anything, and his entire body was like a cheetah as he ran towards the other side of the mountain.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In one breath, he ran for seven or eight li. Occasionally, he would look back and feel that the battle was getting further and further away. He let out a sigh of relief. This time, he really had a narrow escape from death. If it wasn't for the Soul Devouring Beast Xiao Hei being able to transform, if it wasn't for him arriving at Fire Wolf Mountain just in time to transform, if it wasn't for the Fire Wolf King in Fire Wolf Mountain, he would have definitely floated to the west …
This narrow escape from death made him feel a bit of fear, but also a bit of excitement, and even a bit of joy. It was as if his blood itself contained the cells for adventure. However, his joy was quickly interrupted.
A li ahead, five black-clothed people appeared!
Hunters?
F * ck! His luck couldn't be worse. He had just escaped the tiger's den, and now he had fallen into the wolf's den. Looking at the five "hunters" in front of him with cold eyes and a threatening cold aura, Ye Qinghan's mind quickly worked. He tried to run a few steps forward and shouted anxiously, "Big brothers, hurry and run! The Fire Wolves are going berserk …"
Hearing this terrifying news, the five people did not move at all. They only coldly looked at Ye Qinghan.
Eh?
Ye Qinghan's running figure immediately stopped. These people were actually not afraid of the Fire Wolves? It seemed like he had to change his strategy. Who knew when the battle would end? No matter who won, he would not have an easy time at that time. Thus, he could only untie his bag and throw it on the ground. With a trembling and stuttering voice, he said, "Big … Big brothers, all of my valuables are here. Can you let me live?"
The five people still did not move. Only the one in the middle took out a drawing and compared it to Ye Qinghan. Then he put it in his pocket and waved his hand, saying, "Catch him!"
The five people were Xue Wuhen's bodyguards. Xue Yi, Xue Wu, and Xue Yi waved his hand. The four people quickly spread out in a fan shape, blocking the way forward. Then they quickly rushed towards Ye Qinghan.
"F * ck! They came especially for me. I didn't offend anyone. What should I do? What should I do? These five people are obviously masters. There is no way for me to escape. F * ck! Don't blame me. If I die, let's all die together! " Looking at the cold eyes of the five people, Ye Qinghan's mind quickly worked. After a few seconds, he made a decision. He resolutely turned around and ran back to the place where the Fire Wolf King and the Giant Spike Dragon were fighting.
