Hua Tianhe's expression changed as he said, "What exactly happened? Tell me everything in detail."
After hearing Yan Tao's account, Hua Tianhe punched a tree beside him. His expression turned cold as he said, "I just knew that this brat would spoil our plans. He is really bold."
"Senior Brother Hua, what should we do now? Are we still going to chase after the Flame Spirit?" someone asked.
Hua Tianhe smiled coldly and said, "Is there a need? Block them and kill that brat. I'll take responsibility for anything. I have to go to the Savage Battlefield no matter what. "
Hua Tianhe stretched out his hand, and a snake-shaped puppet flew out of his Universe Ring. The snake-shaped puppet slowly grew larger, eventually becoming a hundred-meter-long ferocious snake as thick as a water bucket.
A large door opened at the snake's belly. After the group entered, the door retracted. The black snake-shaped puppet dug its head into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Soon, its entire body sank into the soil.
…
It was late at night, and a sinister wind blew. Occasionally, one could hear terrifying roars in the dark forest.
Xiao Chen lay on a tree trunk and took out an exquisite carving knife. Then, he slowly carved a golden ox horn, carving out a Golden Savage Ox.
The hardness of the golden ox horn far surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations. He had to circulate his Quintessence at full power every time he carved. Furthermore, he had to be completely focused.
After carving for three nights, he finally managed to complete it. As Xiao Chen looked at the exquisite Golden Savage Ox, he smiled faintly, revealing a satisfied expression.
Xiao Chen clearly recognized the person who made a move that day. It was someone from Hua Tianhe's faction. The soul-stirring battle between the two factions made him feel a strong sense of urgency.
Xiao Chen was afraid of becoming a sacrifice in the battle between the two factions. If they fought, the other party would definitely target him first.
This was a very simple principle. If it were Xiao Chen, he would do the same. Everyone would choose the weaker person first, dealing with a problem first.
At that time, Hu Hai and the others might not be able to protect Xiao Chen. He had to control his own fate. The more trump cards he had, the safer he would feel.
This Golden Savage Bull would be his new trump card. Xiao Chen cut his fingertip with the carving knife and dripped a drop of his soul blood that contained his Divine Sense Origin into the knife.
As the blood slowly seeped into the statue, the Mental Energy in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness drained continuously. After two-thirds of the Mental Energy drained, the Golden Savage Ox statue gave off a faint light before stopping.
Feeling slightly dizzy, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and patted his forehead. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at the sculpture in his palm. He muttered to himself, "Trying to materialize a Spirit Beast at the level of the Golden Savage Bull is too taxing on my Mental Energy. If I really use it, the consumption will be even greater."
The Golden Savage Ox was a peak Rank 8 Spirit Beast. It was as strong as a late-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch. It far surpassed Xiao Chen's strength and would not last long.
"Junior Brother Xiao, it's my turn to keep watch. You can go now."
Under the tree, Jun Si emerged from the campsite and spoke softly to Xiao Chen.
After putting away the Golden Savage Ox statue, Xiao Chen got up and jumped down. After saying goodbye to Jun Si, he returned to his tent.
As Jun Si watched Xiao Chen leave, she muttered, "The longer I interact with this Little Junior Brother, the more unfathomable he is."
When the sun rose high in the sky, it was a peaceful night. Everyone emerged from their tents in high spirits and washed up.
Hu Hai said, "Let's travel at full speed today. I'll lead the way. Let's try to leave Savage Forest before sunset, lest anything unexpected happens."
The group was in high spirits, all of them responding with high morale. They hated that they could not rush to Haotian City immediately and deliver the Golden Savage Ox horn to their First Senior Sister, Shui Lingling.
Since this was the last stretch of the journey, Hu Hai did not intend to hold back. He directly spread out his aura, and when the Spirit Beasts sensed it, they ran far away.
If they ran into a Spirit Beast that did not know what to do, they could easily kill it if they worked together.
As true inheritors of the Haotian Sect of the Nine Ranks of the Great Families, Hu Hai and the others lived up to their reputation. Aside from those overlord-class Spirit Beasts, no Spirit Beast could stop them for long.
"Boom!"
Just as the group was less than two kilometers away from the exit, the flat ground exploded without any warning. A black-skinned snake emerged and looked at the group coldly.
Hu Hai's expression changed. He said sullenly, "Retreat! This is Hua Tianhe's puppet snake!"
When Xiao Chen heard this, he took a few more steps back without batting an eyelid. The thing that he worried about the most still happened.
"Ka ca!" A door under the snake's belly opened. Hua Tianhe jumped down expressionlessly with four people radiating a strong killing Qi.
"Hua Tianhe, what are you trying to do?!"
Hu Hai shouted angrily as he drew his huge ax when he saw that the group's aura was not right.
Hua Tianhe smiled sinisterly and sent a voice projection to the people behind him. "Don't waste your breath on him. Find that brat first and kill him. Then, snatch the Golden Ox Horn."
The group looked around, preparing to attack the moment they saw Xiao Chen. However, when they looked around, they could not help but be astonished. They could not find Xiao Chen at all.
Xiao Chen stood on the trunk of a towering tree and looked down from above. When he saw how the few of them were looking around, he guessed what they were planning.
"Life Bestowal Spell!"
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and formed hand seals. Then, he tossed the Golden Ox sculpture towards Hua Tianhe and the others.
Hua Tianhe's expression changed slightly. He felt it was strange. Why did I not find that white-robed brat?
Originally, there was nothing to lose. However, because of Xiao Chen's appearance, Hu Hai immediately surpassed them. Hua Tianhe's group's hatred for Xiao Chen was easy to imagine. The benefits that were in their hands flew away just like that.
Originally, the true inheritors had been prepared to attack with all their might and kill Xiao Chen. However, when they arrived, they could not find Xiao Chen.
Hua Tianhe's killing Qi had nowhere to vent, so he felt extremely depressed. He shouted angrily, "Hu Hai, hand over that white-robed brat and the Golden Ox Horn. Otherwise, don't blame me for —"
Before Hu Hai could finish speaking, a shadow suddenly appeared under their feet. When Hua Tianhe and the others looked up, their expressions changed drastically, horror filling their eyes.
Up in the sky, a golden bull grew larger and larger as it descended towards them.
"Rumble …!"
The forty-meter-tall Golden Savage Ox was as large as a small hill as it descended from the sky.
By the time the group looked up, the Golden Savage Ox had already completely formed. Due to the gravitational pull, the Golden Savage Ox fell in the blink of an eye.
The Golden Savage Ox's huge body crushed the towering trees in the surroundings. The five people on the ground bore the brunt of the impact.
They all vomited a mouthful of blood as the Golden Savage Ox's abdomen pressed them into the ground. Even breathing became extremely difficult for them. Several of their ribs were even broken.
Buried in the ground, the five used all their Quintessence to push against the Golden Savage Ox's trunk. However, it was useless. Instead, it made them feel even more uncomfortable.
Hu Hai and the others were startled. They could not understand why another Golden Savage Ox would descend from the sky. They all retreated far away.
All of them looked at the Golden Savage Ox cautiously. After dealing with the Golden Savage Ox for so long, they knew very well how powerful it was.
"Let's go around it. Don't get involved with this fellow."
Hu Hai immediately made a decision. The appearance of this Golden Savage Ox was too illogical. Even the word "strange" could not describe it.
The other three nodded. They felt that there was no need to take the risk. They all executed their Movement Techniques and quickly left this place.
Xiao Chen, who was on the tree branch, watched as Hu Hai and the other two left. He muttered to himself for a while before forming a hand seal.
The Golden Savage Ox pressing down on Hua Tianhe's five turned into a beam of golden light and returned to Xiao Chen's hand.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and grasped the golden statue once more. Then, he looked at the five buried deep in the ground, deep in thought.
Hua Tianhe's five coughed intensely a few times. Then, they endured the pain and crawled out of the ground.
Their pale faces were filled with confusion; they did not know what happened.
Yun Feiyu wiped off the blood at the corner of his lips and looked around. Then, he said, "What happened earlier? Why did I feel like a mountain fell from the sky?"
Hua Tianhe checked his internal injuries and found that more than a dozen of his ribs were broken. His internal organs were also damaged to varying degrees.
When Hua Tianhe thought about what happened earlier, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart palpitated. If not for their dense Quintessence, the huge object pressing down would have crushed them into meat paste.
"Let's go. Let's leave this place quickly. There is something strange about this place," Hua Tianhe said to the other four after he got up with much difficulty.
"Bang!"
Just at this moment, another shadow appeared above them. Without any warning, a Golden Savage Ox fell from the sky and pressed the four into the ground again.
The five grunted and fainted from the pain. They did not know what had happened.
Xiao Chen jumped down from the tree. If it was possible, he would like to take this opportunity to kill all of them and settle this grudge.
However, the true inheritors of the sect all had the sect's life-saving measures in their bodies. The risk was simply too great. The loss would easily outweigh the gain.
Xiao Chen looked around and noticed the three-hundred-meter-tall puppet snake beside him. A look of interest flashed in his eyes.
Quickly walking over, Xiao Chen entered the puppet snake. Then, he sent his Spiritual Sense into the puppet snake's formation. His strong Mental Energy quickly removed the Spiritual Mark that Hua Tianhe left behind.
Then, he left his Spiritual Mark on the puppet snake. After controlling it for a while, the puppet snake shrank several times before returning to Xiao Chen's Universe Ring.
"I'll collect some interest first. When I officially become a true inheritor, I will come and seek trouble for you."
With a wave of his hand, the Golden Savage Ox turned back into a beam of golden light and landed in Xiao Chen's hand. As he held the golden wooden sculpture in his right hand, Xiao Chen's body suddenly shook. He nearly fell to the ground.
I have exhausted too much Mental Energy. I have to leave quickly, Xiao Chen thought to himself. Then, he looked in the direction that Hu Hai and the others left in and quickly gave chase.
Hu Hai and the others were afraid that the Golden Savage Ox would go berserk again. So, they ran frantically towards the entrance of the forest.
"Wait a moment. Did you see Junior Brother Xiao Chen?" Jun Si suddenly asked.
The three of them turned around and could not help but show strange expressions. They had thought that Xiao Chen had followed them. Now, they discovered that Xiao Chen had not followed them at all.
"Senior Sister Jun, I'm here."
Xiao Chen's voice came from behind. After a few breaths, Xiao Chen appeared before them with a pale complexion.
