With a "puchi" sound, the Golden Rooster Beast's body emitted a sky-high flame, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.
It was said that scorpions and chickens were originally two animals that countered each other. Naturally, they would view each other as enemies upon meeting.
When Liu Ming saw this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
The Scorpion faced the Crystal Level Four Crown Golden Rooster King without the slightest bit of fear. Instead, its body suddenly emitted black gas, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to a size of ten feet. The tail of the Four Crown Golden Rooster King flickered with a faint black light. Its body moved, turning into a black shadow as it pounced forward.
The Four Crown Golden Rooster King gave a "gu gu" sound as the flames on the surface of its body curled up. It also suddenly charged at the Bone Scorpion.
"Younger Brother Liu, you …" The short-haired brute looked at Liu Ming and frowned.
"Brother Qiu, don't worry. This is the reason why I rented the Three Crown Golden Rooster King." Liu Ming said lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent collision sounded in midair. The two suddenly collided, one red and one black, two balls of light fiercely colliding, intertwining and flashing.
However, in just a breath's time, following a miserable howl, the Four Crown Golden Rooster King flew backwards and heavily fell to the ground. The flames on its body had already mostly dissipated, and a long wound could clearly be seen on its left wing.
On the other side, a black light flashed, and the Scorpion stood firmly in place. Black gas curled around its body, and it let out a proud cry.
The Four Crown Golden Rooster King angrily called out, and the four crowns on its head emitted a bright red light. It opened its mouth and spat out several bowl-sized purple flames that coiled into a pillar of purple red flame.
Everywhere the flame passed, it emitted a scorching heat. The ground was scorched black, and even the nearby air seemed to be ignited. When the short-haired brute saw this, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Liu Ming raised an eyebrow. This should be the natural demonfire of the Tri-Crown Golden Rooster that the short-haired man had mentioned.
The Scorpion didn't back down in the slightest. With a flash of yellow light from its pincers, the ground suddenly exploded. Countless rocks of various sizes shot out, forming a flood of rocks that collided with the pillar of fire from the Three-Crowned Golden Rooster.
The temperature of the purplish-red flame was extremely high, and a large number of stones were melted, turning into bursts of green smoke. However, more and more stones gathered behind, and in the blink of an eye, the pillar of purplish-red flame was suppressed.
Banging sounds could be heard!
The four-crowned golden pheasant king let out a pained cry as its body was swept up by the torrent of rocks. It flew more than thirty meters away and fell heavily to the ground. Countless feathers fell from the sky, making it look extremely wretched.
"That's enough, Scorpion!" Liu Ming sighed and telepathically stopped the Scorpion, who was still somewhat eager to try.
The Scorpion let out a low cry of satisfaction, and its body rapidly shrank back to the size of a palm. It landed on Liu Ming's shoulder and used its pincers to intimately rub Liu Ming's neck.
The short-haired brute to the side was dumbfounded!
Although the Four-Crowned Golden Rooster King's cultivation wasn't as high as its opponent's, its natural demonfire should be able to restrain scorpion-type beasts. However, Liu Ming's silver scorpion had defeated the Crystal Level Four-Crowned Golden Rooster King in a few moves.
"Brother Qiu, that's enough. Here are a hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Please take this Golden Rooster King." Liu Ming took out a Storage Glyph and handed it to the short-haired brute along with the red pouch and token.
The short-haired man bitterly laughed before accepting the pouch and command medallion. He then cast a spell seal and the pouch released a red light that wrapped around the dejected four-crowned golden rooster king. In a flash, it was sucked into the pouch.
Liu Ming muttered to himself. With a flash of his hand, a faint golden beast egg appeared.
"Brother Qiu, as the garden guardian disciple, you should be very familiar with the Three-Crowned Golden Rooster's beast egg. Please take a look at this." Liu Ming said and handed the beast egg to the short-haired brute.
The Scorpion didn't even fear the Crystal Level Four-Crowned Golden Rooster King. This beast egg was most likely not the Three-Crowned Golden Rooster's beast egg.
"This is the beast egg of the Three-Crowned Golden Rooster … but it seems to be a dead egg." The short-haired brute took the golden beast egg and carefully examined it for a while before speaking with some interest.
"I found this by chance in a ruin. There were many Three-Crowned Golden Rooster King's eggs nearby, but this beast egg seemed a bit special, so I took it with me." Liu Ming said lightly.
The short-haired brute heard this and muttered something. A white light appeared on his finger and he touched the golden beast egg.
After a while, he moved his finger away and revealed a doubtful expression. After carefully examining it for a while, he finally returned the beast egg to Liu Ming and shook his head.
"Apologies, Senior Liu. I also can't recognize the origin of this item. It looks very similar to the Three-Crowned Golden Rooster King's beast egg, but there's a strange aura inside. Perhaps it's a mutated beast egg, but the life inside is very weak. It shouldn't be able to hatch." Liu Ming furrowed his eyebrows. Even the people of the Spirit Beast Garden couldn't recognize the origin of this egg. It seemed that it would be troublesome to find out its origin.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from afar. Liu Ming and Liu Ming instinctively turned their heads and saw a horse-faced old man walking toward them from a nearby building.
"Elder Bai, you're up so early." The short-haired brute saw this and greeted the horse-faced old man with a smile.
Liu Ming's consciousness swept over the newcomer. This person was a Jin Dan cultivator. Looking at his clothing, he should be an elder of the Spirit Beast Garden.
"Stinking brat, how can this old man cultivate in peace with all this ruckus outside?" The horse-faced old man unhappily glared at the short-haired brute, but his words didn't show any real anger.
The short-haired brute laughed and didn't seem to care. He then said to Liu Ming:
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu, this is the supervisor of the Spirit Beast Garden, Elder Bai."
"Greetings, Elder Bai. My spiritual beast disturbed elder's cultivation just now. I'm really sorry." Liu Ming cupped his fist and said apologetically.
"It's just a small matter." The horse-faced old man waved his hand. He turned his gaze and stopped at the Scorpion on Liu Ming's shoulder. After a few glances, his eyes flashed.
The Scorpion felt the gaze of the horse-faced old man, and it screamed twice with some dissatisfaction. Its body moved, but it turned into a wisp of black gas and went into the soul-recovering bag on Liu Ming's waist.
Seeing this, the horse-faced old man quickly asked Liu Ming, "Are you Liu Ming?"
"I'm indeed the disciple of Fallen Serene Peak, Liu Ming." Liu Ming said without concealment.
"It turns out that you are Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu who is known as the top inner disciple." After the short-haired brute heard the name "Liu Ming", his eyes lit up.
"I don't deserve the title of the top inner disciple. I'm just an ordinary inner disciple." Liu Ming said with a slight smile.
The horse-faced old man glared at the short-haired brute, seemingly blaming him for interrupting, then he turned back and said to Liu Ming.
"Hehe, it turns out to be Liu. Your scorpion spiritual beast has great potential. I wonder if you can sell it to me. You don't have to worry about the spirit stones. As long as it's not too outrageous, I can satisfy you."
"Sorry, Elder Bai, this spiritual beast has been accompanying me since I was in the Spirit Apostle Stage. I won't sell it." Liu Ming naturally shook his head when he heard this.
"You think about it again, how about 50 million spirit stones?" The horse-faced old man was not angry. He reported a number that was extremely exaggerated for the Crystallization Period cultivator.
"Even if it's 100 million spirit stones, I don't intend to sell it." Liu Ming still refused.
The horse-faced old man saw that Liu Ming had made up his mind, and his face suddenly showed a disappointed look, but then he waved his hand and said,
"You are the disciple of Yin Jiuling right? For that guy's sake, I won't force you. If he comes to find me, my old bones can't take it."
"Thank you, senior." Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his fist.
"Your spiritual beast should be stuck in the Crystallization Period later stage for a long time right? I just saw that the aura in its body is mixed. It seems to contain some beastkin qi and demonic qi … If you want to advance to the Pseudo Pellet State and then condense Jin Dan, you need to sort out the mixed spiritual power in its body. Otherwise, it can only stop here for the rest of its life." The horse-faced old man thought about it and said.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Liu Ming was surprised when he heard this, and he deeply bowed to the horse-faced old man.
"No problem. This old man and Yin Jiuling can be considered old friends. It's not a big deal to give his disciple some pointers." The horse-faced old man was not a stickler for formalities, and he said in a humorous tone.
"Disciple has a question, and I hope Martial Uncle Bai can give me some pointers …" Liu Ming's eyes turned, and he immediately took out the golden beast egg.
The horse-faced old man seemed to already know what Liu Ming was thinking, and he shook his head as he said, "I have already used my consciousness to examine this item from afar. I can't say for sure where this item came from, but I can be sure that it is not the beast egg of a Three Crown Golden Rooster Beast."
When Liu Ming heard the deputy elder of the Spirit Beast Garden say this, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart.
"I wonder if Martial Nephew has heard of a ten thousand year old sect called 'Heavenly Beast Mountain'? They mainly breed, sell, and tame spiritual beasts. In terms of understanding of all kinds of beasts, they are absolutely second to none in the Middle Sky Continent. If Martial Nephew has the time, you might as well go ask them. "The horse-faced old man stroked his beard and gave a suggestion to Liu Ming.
"Heavenly Beast Mountain? Disciple has heard of it. It seems to be a sect that is on good terms with our sect. "Liu Ming's expression changed.
"That's right. Although our Taiqing Gate also has a medium-sized Spirit Beast Garden, we are not good at controlling beasts. There is a Thousand Beasts Pavilion in the Heavenly Beast Mountain, which has a collection of illustrations and information of many beasts from ancient times to the present. It even has some in the Barbarian Continent and the Ten Thousand Demons Continent. How about this, for the sake of Yin Jiuling, I will help you to the end. I am quite familiar with an elder of the Heavenly Beast Mountain. You can take this talisman and find an elder called Huo Can. Spend some spirit stones, and you should be able to enter the Thousand Beasts Pavilion once. As for whether you can find out the origin of the golden egg in your hand, it will depend on your luck. " As the horse-faced old man spoke, he took out a light green talisman and threw it to Liu Ming. The talisman was painted with a "beast" character in gold paint, and it looked quite exquisite.
