Both beasts were incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, Goldy and the python were already at each other's throats. The python was clearly dismissive of the much smaller Goldy and opened its mouth to bite. Although Goldy was brave, he wasn't stupid. Given the difference in size, he could only resort to guerrilla tactics.
Hence, he flapped his wings and soared into the air. Finding an opening, he pecked at one of the python's eyes.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless.
Big Yellow's attack was not sloppy at all. This attack was very sudden, and it actually succeeded in one hit. Big Yellow's beak was like a red-hot iron spike, and it directly pecked one of the Yellow Sand Giant Python's eyes blind.
Even Lin Jin, who was a hundred meters away, could hear the sound of an eyeball exploding.
A heart-wrenching howl rang out.
Ruzero's heart ached. That was his pet beast, the face of Snake Country. Who knew how precious it was to have one of its eyes pecked out by a chicken?
In a fit of rage, the state preceptor immediately invoked a spell. However, even without his support, the python was still attacking in a frenzy.
Goldy was extremely shameless after his successful attack. He flapped his wings and clucked as if taunting the python before turning to run away.
Even Lin Jin was dumbfounded by what he saw.
The enraged python ignored everything else and chased after Goldy relentlessly. Soon, it was lured away by Goldy.
Regaining his senses, Ruzero quickly ordered the python to return.
If this pet beast ran away, how was he supposed to fight?
Moreover, without his pet beast by his side, what if the python attacked him?
Ruzero broke out in cold sweat. In the end, Goldy was nowhere to be seen. With one of its eyes blinded, the python returned reluctantly.
Looking at the python again, its gigantic eyeball had exploded and blood flowed freely, giving it a murderous aura.
This was normal. Anyone who had one of their eyes pecked out would feel murderous.
Taking advantage of this opening, Ye Yuzhou controlled his soaring cloud flood dragon to return. Another battle was probably about to break out.
Just then, a wave of energy came from the cave behind Lin Jin.
Sensing it, Lin Jin's face lit up.
It was Xiao Huo.
It had only been a day since he fed Xiao Huo the pill but he could clearly sense that Xiao Huo had woken up.
And it wasn't as simple as just waking up.
In the next moment, the shadow of a wolf sprang out of the cave.
Almost as soon as he emerged from the cave, a ball of flame shot up into the sky, like a volcano erupting, illuminating everything for three thousand meters.
Everyone at the foot of the mountain was stunned.
"Why is there another beast?"
"It's a Flame Wolf, but there's something wrong with it."
Obviously, Flame Wolves weren't rare at all. Many people owned them, and they weren't considered rare beasts at all. But similarly, high-level Flame Wolves were extremely rare. Usually, most of them were at the first rank, with a few at the second rank. As for the third rank Flame Wolves, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Of course, they had never seen a rank four Flame Wolf before.
Xiao Huo's body had grown bigger. However, even in his wolf form, he was still much smaller than the Soaring Cloud Flood Dragon and the Giant Yellow Sand Snake. However, the flames on his body were extraordinarily large.
It really was like a volcanic eruption. Just the fire waves alone could surge more than ten feet high. Right now, Xiao Huo's entire body was covered in raging flames, as if he was a fire elf.
Lin Jin had seen a smaller version of this aura before. It was when Xiao Huo evolved to Rank 3 and the flames he emitted had burned down his house.
But now, this aura was more than ten times stronger than before.
No doubt, Xiao Huo had evolved.
A perfect evolution.
The speed of evolution was much faster than Lin Jin had expected. Of course, this could be due to the five elemental fire pill, or the pressure from the battle between the flood dragon and the Giant Yellow Sand Snake that forced Xiao Huo to evolve faster.
Lin Jin heaved a sigh of relief.
Everything was settled.
Xiao Huo's aura alone had completely overwhelmed the soaring cloud flood dragon and the Giant Yellow Sand Snake. Even if they were both at Rank 4, Xiao Huo's perfect evolution was the strongest.
Lin Jin wondered if Xiao Huo had skipped a level and reached Rank 5 like last time.
This was just Lin Jin's imagination running wild. Without appraising Xiao Huo, he couldn't be sure.
But one thing was for sure. That pitiful state preceptor wouldn't get the chance to seek revenge.
He only had one Rank 4 pet beast. How was he supposed to fight?
If he was smart, he would have changed his strategy. At the very least, he wouldn't be so foolish as to fight head-on.
Sure enough, the horrified Ruzero didn't order his pet beast to attack. His expression flickered. Not only had his son died, but his pet beast had also suffered a great loss.
He had lost all dignity.
He couldn't accept this.
But there was nothing he could do. Ye Yuzhou wouldn't let him do as he pleased. Moreover, that man on the hill had a Rank 4 pet beast too.
How was he supposed to fight?
If he continued, he would be the one to suffer.
As expected of a state preceptor, Ruzero had a high level of awareness. Knowing that he couldn't get his revenge today, he simply shouted at Lin Jin, "Alright, I, Ruzero, admit defeat today. What's your name? Do you dare to tell me your name?"
This was usually the line one had to say before fleeing. Logically speaking, Lin Jin should be eliminating the problem by borrowing Xiao Huo's strength to slay the man.
But this was a difficult task.
Putting aside the question of whether or not he could kill the man, even if he did, he would be provoking Grassy Continent's Snake Country. If they were to fight to the death, it would probably lead to more than just a national war.
He believed Ye Yuzhou wouldn't accompany him in this madness. Moreover, this didn't fit the Curator's persona.
After giving it some thought, Lin Jin said in a deep voice, "They call me Curator. If you're unhappy, you can look for me anytime. But let me warn you, if you come again, I won't let you off so easily."
"Curator, you're so domineering and impressive. I, Ruzero, will remember you. Just you wait and see." Sure enough, Ruzero threatened.
Just then, Ye Yuzhou suddenly said to Ruzero, "State Preceptor Ruzero, let me give you a piece of advice for today's incident. Forget it, don't even think about pursuing this matter. If Curator doesn't pursue this matter, you should be thanking the heavens. Don't bring disaster to Snake Country."
Ye Yuzhou said this out of good intentions. But to Ruzero's ears, these words sounded like mockery. A blatant mockery.
"Mr. Ye, how strong do you think your Jade Dragon Kingdom is? Could it be that you're a premium country? How dare you boast so shamelessly? Just because of what you said, a war between Snake Country and your Jade Dragon Kingdom will be inevitable. "Ruzero gritted his teeth and threatened war.
As Snake Country's state preceptor, he had a certain level of decision-making ability when he said something like this.
Ye Yuzhou frowned, musing that he should've kept his mouth shut. Why did this Grassy Continent man take his kindness for granted?
Was this a matter between Snake Country and Jade Dragon Kingdom?
However, if Snake Country really declared war on Jade Dragon Kingdom, it wouldn't be a joke. At the very least, Ye Yuzhou had no right to decide on a national matter like this.
Zuo Wentang and the others were terrified.
Did this mean that a war was about to break out?
If that was the case, they would definitely suffer when they returned. Forget them, even City Lord Bai Zhenkong would be in trouble.
After Ruzero finished speaking, he left immediately, probably afraid that the other party would try to sabotage him.
This was going to be troublesome.
"Mr. Ye, wh-what should we do?" Zuo Wentang was panicking. Even as the City Lord Manor's steward, he was scared out of his wits when it came to national affairs.
Ye Yuzhou, on the other hand, was able to keep his composure.
If Ye Yuzhou was the one who started this, he would panic as well. After all, a national war was no joke. But with the Curator around, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Steward Zuo, please calm down. With the Curator around, our Jade Dragon Kingdom won't be dragged into this war." Ye Yuzhou was unsure of what to do after saying this so he immediately left the clueless Zuo Wentang behind and went to look for the Curator.
"Curator, I'm afraid things are going to get out of hand today. That Ruzero clearly won't let this go so easily. What do you think …" Ye Yuzhou was troubled.
Lin Jin knew how serious this matter was. At the end of the day, this was all caused by Little Five and Shang'er so Lin Jin couldn't stay out of it. Now that things had come to this, he had to be tough to the end.
Of course, he couldn't drag the Jade Dragon Kingdom into this mess either.
The only thing he could think of right now was to ask for help from the Visitation Hall's visitors as the Curator.
Other than that, he had to appease the Jade Dragon Kingdom's officials so that they could keep their cool and not cause trouble for him.
At this, Lin Jin said, "Old Ye, Snake Country's incident has nothing to do with the Jade Dragon Kingdom. Help me explain this. Also, can you contact Black Crow and Ghost Child?"
The only way Lin Jin could think of to make Snake Country give up on using force was to send someone to 'persuade' them.
After much thought, he decided that the most suitable candidates were Black Crow and Ghost Child. These two were known for their solitary and fearless personalities. Unlike Ye Yuzhou, Ye Yuzhou's personality and identity meant that he would never do anything 'out of line'.
