Chapter 143: Take Over the Steel Mountain
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just as the Three-Eyed Race people were doubting themselves, rhythmic footsteps were heard.
Clomp, clomp!
Following the footsteps, a Hidden Beast slowly walked down from the Steel Mountain. Its eyes scanned the surroundings indifferently before finally landing on the body of the steel lion.
“Playing dead? Get up,” Li Xuan said coldly.
Roar, roar!
When the Steel Lion heard Li Xuan’s words, its body embedded in the ground hurriedly struggled. After it broke free from the shackles of the ground, it stood up.
However, when it stood up, it did not resist nor did it dare to escape. Instead, it curled up like a obedient dog and looked at Li Xuan as if it was trying to curry favor with him.
However…
Anyone could see that the Steel Lion’s body was trembling. It was obvious that it was afraid.
Such a scene, such an unbelievable scene, caused the Three-Eyed Race members to be stunned.
At the same time, the Three-Eyed Race members also realized something. Their backs turned cold as they wanted to escape this place.
“The few of you, come up the mountain with me and pick the Steel Flowers. Immediately.”
Li Xuan’s gaze swept across the Three-Eyed Race members. He was prepared to kill them to earn Honor Points after using all the Three-Eyed Race members.
“Pluck… Pluck Steel Flowers?” The Three-Eyed Race’s captain was stunned for a moment.
“Are you unwilling?”
Li Xuan’s voice was ice-cold. Killing intent surged in his eyes. An intense Dragon’s Might rippled at this moment, enveloping the entire area like a black cloud pressing down on the city.
When the Steel Lion felt this terrifying Dragon’s Might, it immediately turned its head like a dog. Its eyes stared fixedly at the Three-Eyed Race members as if it was warning them.
“We’re willing… Don’t hurt us, don’t hurt us.” The Three-Eyed Race’s captain was frightened and hurriedly expressed his agreement.
The Three-Eyed Race members beside him did not dare to act rashly either. They hurriedly nodded like chickens pecking at rice, afraid that if they nodded too slowly, they would lose their lives.
“Go up the mountain.” Li Xuan ordered coldly. At the same time, he walked toward the mountainside step by step.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The Three-Eyed Race members hurriedly nodded and ran up the mountain nervously. When they reached the mountainside, they all squatted down and carefully picked the Steel Flowers.
These Steel Flowers were very sharp. If they were not careful, they would cut their hands, causing blood to drip out.
The weaker members of the Three-Eyed Race had already been cut, but they did not dare to cry out in pain. They could only grit their teeth and try their best to pick.
“Only pick the large Steel Flowers.” Li Xuan suddenly gave an order.
“Yes, yes, yes!” The members of the Three-Eyed Race immediately nodded, not daring to disobey.
Li Xuan only smiled coldly at this. He directly called the Steel Lion and had it lie on the ground. Then, Li Xuan leaned on it and kept stroking the Steel Lion’s head with his right hand.
This scene was like stroking the head of a puppy.
However, the arrogant Steel Lion did not dare to move at all. Instead, it lay on the ground like a pug.
“What a good place.”
Li Xuan used God’s Perspective to carefully scan this Steel Mountain and discovered that this place was a treasure land. Steel Flowers could continuously grow here.
If he took over Steel Mountain, he would be able to have an endless supply of Steel Flowers in the future. It would also be a source of wealth.
Therefore, Li Xuan thought about whether he should let the Steel Lion be his underling and watch over this place for him.
Of course, the prerequisite was to intimidate the Steel Lion again. At the same time, he would give it some benefits and let it understand the advantages of following him.
Only by using both kindness and power could the Steel Lion be loyal to him.
After making up his mind, Li Xuan continued to wait, squinting his eyes to think of a way to intimidate it.
Time slowly passed, and the harvesting work was completed bit by bit.
After two hours of harvesting, the harvesting work was finally completed. Li Xuan obtained a large number of Steel Flowers, thirty of which were eaten by him to upgrade his Steel Body.
[ Ding! Your Intermediate Steel Body has been successfully upgraded to Advanced Steel Body. ]
“It’s finally Advanced Level. Not bad, not bad. It’s a good time to experiment.”
Li Xuan kept the remaining Steel Flowers into his Portable Space, and his body slowly stood up.
Crackle, crackle!
Following the crackling sound, Li Xuan’s body suddenly changed from an ordinary body of flesh and blood to a steel body, and directly turned into a steel monster.
Roar, roar!
When the Steel Lion saw this scene, it stood up with a swoosh and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.
It was because the mad lion also had the Steel Body Skill, this was the reason why it occupied the Steel Mountain. However, it actually saw a creature of the same kind at the moment.”
“Little lion, from now on, you are my little brother. Plant the Steel Flowers for me. This is one of the rewards.”Li Xuan casually threw a Healing Pill into the mouth of the Steel Lion.
“Roar?”
The Steel Lion was in a sluggish state and had not recovered from Li Xuan’s steel appearance.
However, the entrance of the Healing Pill caused the Steel Lion to suddenly widen its eyes and feel its own situation in disbelief.
One had to know that it had been badly beaten by Li Xuan not long ago. It had been picked up and smashed on the ground many times and had suffered serious injuries.
In the past, when it was injured, it could only rely on Spiritual Power to slowly heal itself.
However, under the treatment of the Healing Pill, its injuries were actually healed at an extremely fast speed.
Such a scene instantly opened the door to a new world for the Steel Lion. The Steel Lion could not help but widen its eyes as it thought about Li Xuan’s words just now.
Clomp, clomp, clomp!
The sound of footsteps rang out.
Li Xuan walked step by step towards the Three-Eyed Race, walking forward with an ice-cold smile.
“Die!”
Whoosh!
Li Xuan’s strength was instantly unleashed. His Wind Wings combined with his Speed Enhancement, Steel Body, Physique Strengthening, and a series of other abilities.
This allowed his strength to reach an abnormally terrifying level. Under such terrifying strength, his body flashed and disappeared like an afterimage.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of corpses falling to the ground could be heard. Several Three-Eyed Race members lost their lives in shock and died with their eyes wide open.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Xuan shook off the blood on his steel arm and turned his head. His bloody face was filled with malevolence as he looked at the Steel Lion.
“What? You don’t want to be my little brother?”
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Steel Lion was frightened by Li Xuan. It hurriedly nodded its head to indicate that it was willing to be his little brother. It nodded its head in a very flattering manner.
“Mhmm! From now on, this is my territory.”
Li Xuan walked in front of the Steel Lion, patted its head, and announced with a cold smile.
Roar! Roar!
The Steel Lion continued to nod its head. It wanted to cry, but no tears came out. At the same time, it thought of the Healing Pills. It wanted a few more, but it did not dare to.
“Okay, the matter here has been settled. It’s time for me to die.”
After saying this, Li Xuan walked step by step to the top of the Steel Mountain.
“Oh?”
When the steel lion heard this, it was slightly stunned. It did not understand what was going on. Li Xuan actually said that he was going to die.
However…
No one explained to the Steel Lion because Li Xuan had already arrived at the top of the mountain and was looking down at his surroundings.
Chirp, chirp, chirp!
A beautiful bird flew across the sky, leaving behind a pleasant sound.
Li Xuan did not pay attention to it. Instead, under the blue sky, white clouds, and warm breeze, he raised his steel right claw and stabbed towards his own heart.
Ding!
Li Xuan’s body swayed slightly. There was not a single wound on his heart, only a white mark.
“Troublesome, even suicide is so difficult. It seems that I can only use the supernatural power to commit suicide in the future.”
As Li Xuan’s voice fell, his body suddenly trembled. Monstrous Strength was activated at this moment.
That terrifying strange strength instantly enveloped his entire body. In the next second, Li Xuan pierced through his heart with a bang and grabbed his steel heart.
Crack!
The steel heart was crushed. Li Xuan turned his head and looked at the Steel Lion ferociously. “Guard well. Wait for my return!”
After saying that, Li Xuan’s world fell into darkness.
However…
The Steel Lion was frightened by this strange scene. It retreated dozens of meters before looking at the steel corpse in fear.
The Steel Lion, who already possessed intelligence comparable to humans, was terrified by this scene. It could not understand what was going on and was even confused.
[ Ding! You have died. Random resurrection…. ]
