Chapter 1408: Chapter 725: This Isn’t Fair
...
At this point, he felt a complete and utter fear of Nightcrypt, and nobody could persuade him to try to provoke him. Besides, he completely despised the Bloodline Master of Little Swamp Peak and Xue Mei. The only reason he was here was because of Xue Mei. Otherwise, he would never have tangled with Nightcrypt, nor would he have accepted the mission from the Bloodline Master of Little Swamp Peak. He wouldn’t have attempted to kill Nightcrypt so many times, nor aimed at the world around him and fallen into this state.
"This isn’t fair!" Jia Lie was actually quite close to the peak and the will of the world. However, there were too many beasts on the mountain, and he clearly had no hope of getting near it.
When Jia Lie felt despair, Yan Xiaobao casually flew around at some distance. Looking at the peak in front of him, he felt a strong sensation that all he had to do was rush to the summit, and he would be able to pass through the trial by fire of the first stage.
However, even if he shut the door, the same enormous dragon stretched its head from the summit, staring at Yan Xiaobao. At the same time, countless terrifying auras surged from the mountain, locking onto Yan Xiaobao. Clearly, if he got closer, all these Blood Beasts would take action.
Yan Xiaobao stopped in his tracks. Earlier, he had only glimpsed that giant hand, but now, seeing these beasts face to face, he realized they looked very much like the beasts you would see in the outside world. The only difference was that they were entirely the color of blood. In fact, they seemed to share some resemblance with infants in some aspects.
Unexpectedly, these beasts looked at Yan Xiaobao with hostility, which made the desperate Jia Lie suddenly ecstatic. Panting, his eyes widened, shining with hope.
"He can’t go up the mountain either!!" Jia Lie exclaimed excitedly. Finally, his chance had come. He quickly concealed his aura, focused on Yan Xiaobao, and began searching for another opportunity to seize victory.
Looking at the mountain full of Blood Beasts, Yan Xiaobao felt a headache. After hesitating for a moment, he decided the best course of action was to test how much protection the world would offer him. Having made his choice, he cautiously moved forward. If the Blood Beasts reacted too aggressively, then he could always retreat.
He slowly got closer until he actually set foot on the peak. That was when he really started to get nervous. But as he realized the Blood Beasts were merely watching him, his nervousness quickly began to subside, as none of them moved to stop his progress.
A feeling of joy rose, and he began to proceed forward, completely unobstructed. Meanwhile, Jia Lie hovered over the sea, wide-eyed in shock.
After a moment, a contemplative expression appeared in his eyes, followed by hesitation, and finally a strong glow.
"I understand! Even though there are many beasts here, as long as you don’t emit any murderous intent, these beasts won’t interfere. That’s definitely how it’s done!
"For example, here I am floating on the surface of the ocean, right beside the mountain, but no Blood Beasts from underwater are attacking me. It’s obviously because I have no murderous intent!" Jia Lie was still somewhat hesitant and unconvinced. However, if he gave up at this point, his newfound hope would be shattered. Therefore, he clenched his chin and resolutely flew into the air. To ensure no murderous intent, he acted cautiously.
Not long after, he was approaching the mountain, and countless Blood Beasts focused their gaze on him. Jia Lie stopped in his tracks, feeling a tingling scalp and trembling limbs. Yet, he forced a smile onto his face.
"No sickness here!" he said. "I’m just passing by...."
However, just as he opened his mouth, the enormous blood-colored Giant Dragon suddenly roared, flew into the sky, and then charged at Jia Lie. Simultaneously, countless other beasts burst out with vicious auras, flying toward Jia Lie.
Eyes opened in the seawater, and countless blood-colored giants rose from the depths, howling around the surrounded Jia Lie.
Jia Lie let out a blood-curdling scream, tears streaming down his face.
"This isn’t fair! You’re cheating!!!!" Jia Lie cried, watching as the world around him toyed with him. As the blood surged forward, his screams echoed endlessly.
Yan Xiaobao’s heart trembled. The sudden outbreak among the Blood Beasts shocked him so much he almost fled. But then he realized the Blood Beasts were only attacking Jia Lie.
From the start, he was worried about Jia Lie, but after realizing his own importance to the world around him, he stopped focusing on him. However, from this moment on, he began to feel a bit sad.
When he heard Jia Lie accuse him of cheating, he coughed softly but didn’t offer any explanation. After all, Jia Lie was actually right.....
Even on the mountain, the Blood Beasts made way for him.
Yan Xiaobao really felt the world treated him well. Glancing back at the bloodthirsty beasts surrounding Jia Lie, he considered throwing down an aphrodisiac.
"Ah, I shouldn’t. After all, I’m a good person." With a sigh, he moved toward the summit, where he found a stele emitting a pulsing light, seemingly calling to him.
