It was the fifteenth day since they entered the beast valley.
The Reaper Mantis, who was cultivating under the waterfall, shone with a seven-colored brilliance.
The energy light pillar above her head crashed into the waterfall and caused the waterfall to flow in reverse. Countless splashes shot towards the sky, forming an incredible scene.
The shockwave spread in all directions.
This energy ring spread extremely quickly, but what was strange was that the surrounding flowers and trees were not harmed, the grazing deer, goats, cows, and horses were not startled, only raising their heads at the same time, gazing at the energy light pillar rising into the sky with reverent eyes. The Itachi Scythe and the Dragon Horse, who were resting under the shade of the tree, woke up from their dreams. They jumped to the top of the tree and looked at the golden energy light pillar that was pointing to the sky from afar … That golden light pillar was even higher than the small mountain with the waterfall hanging from it. It was even higher than the peak of the mountain.
Although they were separated by more than ten kilometers, the energy wave and majestic will still greatly shocked Itachi Scythe and Dragon Horse.
After a long time, they saw the golden light pillar disappear.
Itachi Scythe swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "In ten days, that newborn beast grew into a Quasi-Holy Beast. After becoming a Quasi-Holy Beast, she became a Holy Beast in just five days! The Five Major Beast Kings could not reach the Holy Beast Realm in their entire lives. Unexpectedly, she achieved it in just half a month. This, what kind of potential does she have? "
Dragon Horse's voice trembled as it guessed: "Maybe, she was originally a Holy Beast!"
"Impossible, no one would risk a Holy Beast. If a Holy Beast entered the door of rebirth, what if it was destroyed in its newborn stage … …" Itachi Scythe waved his hands.
"He has Pandora's Box and the protection of the Disaster Divine Power. Why wouldn't he dare to take risks? Moreover, a person like him is not just a Holy Beast. I think he might have another Divine Beast. Otherwise, he would not be so familiar with cultivating a Holy Beast. Furthermore, cultivating a Holy Beast is obviously not the end! "
Hearing Dragon Horse's words, Itachi Scythe became silent.
It seemed like that was the case!
It was not as simple as cultivating a Holy Beast to pass the test. If he wanted to pass the beast valley, he could have left for the various tests after five days ago. With the intelligence of that newborn beast, the various tests after that would probably not be a problem for her, who had already become a Quasi-Holy Beast. The Quasi-Holy Beast was not satisfied and cultivated until it became a Holy Beast … … It had only been half a month, how could the other party give up?
Divine beasts were that newcomer's ultimate goal.
In the beast valley, were there any challengers who could nurture divine beasts?
Scythe looked at the Dragon Horse with a doubtful gaze. The Dragon Horse shook its head continuously. It had been trapped in the beast valley for thousands of years. It had never heard of anyone being able to raise a Divine Beast in the beast valley. Never!
If this newcomer could really nurture a Divine Beast, what would happen to the Beast Valley?
It was estimated that all the residents and the Magical Orcs who had been turned into Magical Orcs would not be enough to cultivate a Mythological Beast even if they were added up.
"Eh?"
Dragon Horse signaled Itachi to hold his breath.
This was not to guard against the vulture that often circled in the sky to spy for information. Although that fellow was gathering intelligence for Leonis, it never dared to get too close. Most of the time, it hurriedly flew across the sky. As long as it discovered that the target on the ground was still there, it would immediately return. The Itachi Scythe slid into the canopy. Apart from merging with nature, he also put on a Cloak of Invisibility.
An afterimage streaked across the sky, its speed as fast as a meteor.
With the eyesight of the Dragon-Horse and the Itachi Scythe, it was actually very difficult for them to catch this shadow.
However, what the Dragon-Horse discovered was the huge target in the shadow's hand … It was the 'Vulture' whose body was made of stiff wood.
With a human head, butterfly wings, and a bee's body, this was one of the five Magical Beast Leaders, the 'Poisonous Bee King'.
However, why did the Poisonous Bee King capture the Vulture alive?
Not only did it capture the Vulture alive, what the Dragon-Horse and the Itachi Scythe did not understand was why it flew over the waterfall. Could it be that it was not afraid of the curse of the Divine Power of Disaster?
"Today is really a good day. Another guest has come." At the side of the small pool beside the waterfall, Yue Yang was leisurely washing his feet with clear water while lazily lying on a rock to bask in the sun. He was enjoying the gentle massage of the Reaper Mantis's soft fists on his shoulders. Occasionally, he would even open his mouth to eat a crystal grape that the Reaper Mantis fed him.
"There are many kinds of guests." The Poisonous Bee King threw the Vulture whose body was made of stiff wood on the ground.
"What kind of guests do you belong to?" Yue Yang asked with a smile.
"I am different from the previous guests who came to die to help your Beast level up. I belong to the kind that can be trusted and cooperated with." The Poisonous Bee King landed on the rock beside Yue Yang and pointed at the Vulture whose body was stiff but not dead. He smiled lightly and said, "This is my first meeting gift to you. If you are willing to trust me, I will show more sincerity. You can trust me. Before your Beast evolves into a Divine Beast, I will do my best to help you achieve this wish. "
"Alright, can you tell me the reason?" Yue Yang laughed and said, "Don't tell me that you are the living Lei Feng of the Beast Valley who naturally likes to do good deeds for free."
"I only want one thing." The Poisonous Bee King's expression suddenly became serious.
"What is it?" Yue Yang asked.
At this moment, the Dragon-Horse and the Itachi Scythe who had sneaked three kilometers away pricked up their ears.
They wanted to know what kind of deal the Poisonous Bee King would make with this young man. Was it to assassinate the Lion King and take the position of the leader of the Five Major Beast Kings? Or was it to defeat the Double-headed Black Dragon that was guarding the Wisdom Fruit and obtain the Wisdom Fruit to increase his intelligence?
No matter what the conditions were, they believed that it would be an earth-shattering deal that would change the entire situation in the Beast Valley.
The Poisonous Snake King pondered for a while.
In the end, it said something that almost made the Itachi Scythe and the Dragon-Horse scream, "I want freedom. I don't want anything, I just want freedom. "
Freedom!
This was something that every poor person in the Heaven Realm did not lack. Even those ant-like subsidiary races that were below Earth Rank had freedom. Perhaps those people's freedom was discounted and could not be considered true freedom. However, even that kind of discounted freedom was a luxury that all life in the Beast Valley yearned for but could never obtain.
The Beast Valley had everything and did not lack anything.
The only thing that they did not have was freedom.
The Dragon-Horse and the Itachi Scythe thought that they had forgotten this phrase, but now that they heard it, they could not help but burst into tears.
When a person had freedom, he would never know how precious it was. When that person lost his freedom, only then would he understand how precious it was.
Freedom … This was something that anyone could have. However, once it was lost, it could not be exchanged for even the entire world. It was so precious that there was no treasure in the world that could be exchanged for it. There was nothing that could replace it … Only those who had lost their freedom would understand that a person could have nothing. They could have no money, no house, no comfortable life, no wealth that could rival a country, no fame that could shake the world, and even the wonderful love that everyone yearned for. However, they could not lose their freedom.
Those who had freedom would never understand the pain of losing it.
Those who lost their freedom were the abandoned children of fate.
They were the products eliminated by time. They were the sand in the river of history. They were the most painful and despairing existence in the world. That kind of terror could only be described with one word. Total darkness!
Yue Yang laughed, "Do you think I will agree? Even if I agree, do you think I have a way to give you freedom? This is the Beast Valley! "
The Poisonous Bee King covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly, "You are the proud son of the heavens. You will never understand how hard it was for me to struggle all these years. For six thousand years, in order to survive, I changed from a kind woman who never killed to a Poisonous Bee King that the Beast Valley was terrified of. The number of people I killed all these years was several times more than the number of people I knew in the first half of my life. However, even in the most desperate times, the desire for freedom had never left my heart for even half a second. It was the light that illuminated my arduous journey … In order for me to obtain freedom, my father and husband both fell in front of me. They used their lives to open a bloody path for me, and at the same time, they placed their hopes on me. In order for me to smoothly advance on the path of freedom, my chaste mother compromised and served the enemy for decades. It was only when I grew up and had the power to protect myself that she committed suicide in front of me. "
Yue Yang still shook his head, "I sympathize with your experience. However, the Beast Valley has its own rules. I'm sorry, I can't help you."
The Poisonous Bee King quickly wiped away her tears and waved her hands, "Regarding this, I know a secret. About six thousand years ago, before I had fully matured, when I was extremely wary of everything around me, a god-like man came to me. He told me a condition. As long as I could form a contract with a Holy Beast and become a beast under the Holy Beast's command, I could leave with him. However, I was still a resident at that time. Because I was wary of that god-like man, I rejected his good intentions in the end. At that time, I was still a resident with two chances. I had to commit suicide and become a beast to form a contract with him. I missed it … Who would have thought that I would wait for six thousand years! "
Yue Yang asked curiously, "Then how did you dare to trust me? Do you think I am trustworthy? "
The Poisonous Bee King paused for a moment, "If I were to become enemies with you, it would indeed be a very scary thing. You are not a kind and humble gentleman. On the contrary, your decisive attitude and the way you treat your enemies like ants makes people tremble from the bottom of their hearts. However, if I could become your friend, I believe that it would be a very fortunate thing. For my freedom, I am willing to take the risk and trust you this once. After all, you are the best partner I have met in these six thousand years. "
"There is another reason why I am willing to trust you." The Poisonous Bee King stared into Yue Yang's eyes, "That day, that god-like man, his aura was very similar to yours … Maybe you two are not relatives, but you two are definitely the same person and came from the same place."
"What's the name of that person you are talking about?" Yue Yang asked.
"That god-like man is called Zhan Feng. I have heard that his enemies call him Prison Emperor!" The Poisonous Bee King could never forget this name and the back view that sighed as he left.
"It's him again." Yue Yang was a little unhappy. Why did Prison Emperor have so many people who knew him? It had been six thousand years, but they still couldn't forget him. He was really a sentimental person. However, since he was related to the Prison Emperor, Yue Yang was embarrassed to reject him. No matter what, the Prison Emperor Divine Seal that he usually used to smash chestnuts, the Prison Emperor Divine Sword in Tigress's hands, and the Prison Emperor Divine Staff in Wu Xia's hands were all left behind by that guy. If he didn't give him any face after getting these treasures for free, it would be a little unreasonable.
Forget it.
I will just treat it as doing good deeds to build up my character!
Yue Yang raised his last question, "Your parents and husband have died here, and you have been trapped here for six thousand years. Even if you have any relatives, they should be dead by now. Is there still any meaning in going out?"
The Poisonous Bee King's eyes flashed with longing, "I promised them that I would definitely bring their ashes back to my hometown to be buried. I also promised my mother that I would definitely pass the clan's important keepsake to my sister, pass the throne to her, and let her lead the Bee Clan to glory. If my sister is no longer here, then the throne will be passed on to her descendants. Not only do I carry the hopes of my family to live on, I also long for the day that I can leave this place. Even if it's just for one day of freedom, let me see the sky of freedom outside, see the home that I once lived in, then I will die without regrets … "
Die without regrets as long as I have freedom for one day?
This sentence caused Yue Yang's Zhi Zun Willpower to tremble slightly.
Maybe he couldn't help with other things, but this kind of hope and belief that she had held on for six thousand years, and he could agree to it with just a nod, was worth considering.
"Woo woo woo!" Hearing the Poisonous Bee King's words, the Reaper Mantis was extremely touched, and its small face was a mess of tears.
"…" Dragon Horse and Itachi Scythe also cried like rain.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were afraid of exposing their tracks, they would have cried out loud.
Freedom, this was the freedom that they didn't even dare to dream of! If they could regain their freedom, as long as they could live happily under the sky of freedom for one day, then they could really die without regrets.
In their blurry eyes, the two of them understood the glint in each other's eyes at the same time: I want freedom too!
