Chapter 781: The Beast Sky Patrol

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Beside a certain secluded lake in Bai Hu City.

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xiao Ze huddled around the frying pan to eat their own food.

They had planned to taste some local Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool delicacies, but what they had just seen completely deterred them from doing so.

Besides, nothing could taste better than the dishes cooked by their frying pan!

Especially when the alternative was to eat all those other weird dishes!

Not only were they cannibals, but they were also even eating snot bugs! Was there no limit to how low they would stoop!

Xu Xiaolan cooked for everyone this time, and she cooked a five-flavored fish!

An Lin and Xiao Ze tasted five different flavors from the dish, which comprised of savory, spicy, crispy, sour, and sweet. It was like a rainbow of flavors! The delicious rainbow of flavors swept through their entire bodies as they trembled involuntarily!

“Delicious! Master’s wife is an even better cook than Master! This dish is the most delicious dish under the heavens!” Xiao Ze offered words of genuine praise.

An Lin rolled his eyes at Xiao Ze. “Doesn’t it weigh on your conscience to say that in front of me? I regret cooking all the food I’ve made for you now!”

“Master, I’m a person who can’t tell lies. I was only speaking the truth.”

Xiao Ze didn’t back down in the slightest.

During their few days together, he had figured out the hierarchy. Xu Xiaolan was at the very top of the food chain, so it would be immensely beneficial to his future development if he could suck up to Xu Xiaolan and curry her favor.

What if Master refused to teach him cultivation methods in the future?

He would just call on Master’s wife to force his hand!

Hehehe… Genius!

Xiao Ze was extremely pleased with his own resourcefulness.

An Lin felt like he had accepted a fake disciple. Why would he suddenly hurt his master like this?

Xu Xiaolan burst out laughing upon seeing An Lin’s dejected expression, and she placed some fish into An Lin’s bowl in consolation. “Have some fish to ease your anger.”

An Lin was not actually angry about this. It was just that he was used to his disciple flattering him all the time, and this development was a little jarring to him. In actuality, he was ecstatic to be able to taste Xiaolan’s cooking!

“Tomorrow is the day the Jade Bone Immortal Bug is gathering all the Soul Formation Stage cultivators. Do we need to prepare anything?” Xu Xiaolan asked.

“Not really. We’ll just take the golden tiger with us, and if anything happens, we’ll settle it with our fists!” An Lin replied with a confident smile.

A holy flame seed had already been planted into the golden tiger’s body by Xu Xiaolan. It would spontaneously combust and be burned to ashes if it tried to betray Xu Xiaolan.

An Lin and the others were going to disguise themselves as its servants in order to get close to the Jade Bone Immortal Bug and figure out just what this Return to Void Stage beast was up to.

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug was already at the Return to Void Stage, so it should possess some knowledge about the secrets behind the unrest within the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool. As such, it was a good idea to approach it in pursuit of the information they required.

Night fell, and all manners of weird sounds erupted throughout the city.

There was snoring that literally sounded like claps of thunder, there were infants crying, and there were also a series of sharp, sluggish, or otherworldly voices reverberating throughout the city… There were very few beasts on the streets at night, but it sounded as if there were a busy market outside.

It was kind of like a thriving city of ghosts!

Boom!

A battle erupted once again in Bai Hu City.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan sat on top of a random building as they surveyed the battle that was taking place in the distance.

An Lin really had no words left to describe these beast tribes anymore. This was already the twenty-seventh battle of tonight, and all the participants were at least Spirit Nurturing Stage spirit beasts.

He was beginning to understand why even the buildings within such an important city like Bai Hu City would be so crudely constructed. There were countless battles taking place every day within the city, so there would be no point in creating intricately crafted buildings, as they would most likely be razed to the ground anyway!

Under the same cultivation base, cultivators of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool ranked among the top five in terms of combat prowess across the entire continent.

Looking at it now, this made a lot of sense.

All the cultivators here had only managed to survive up to this point by leaving a trail of countless dead bodies behind them.

The fighting was relentless here, and everyone was either dead, or they were extremely competent and powerful fighters.

Boom!

A bolt of white lighting fell from the sky with the power to banish all evil.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both stirred a little.

A Soul Formation Stage powerful being had taken the stage!

This was a massive centipede with lightning crackling all over its body.

A scorching pillar of flames soon descended from the sky toward the centipede!

A flaming flying horse had appeared on the battlefield.

A massive python over a kilometer in length with black mist revolving all over its body also appeared before taking part in the intense battle.Read comics on our webnovel.live

In the blink of an eye, this had become a free-for-all battle between three Soul Formation Stage soul beasts and a dozen or so Spirit Nurturing Stage spirit beasts.

Immediately afterward, a humanoid lion over a thousand feet tall carrying a humongous ax came out from a huge house. “F*ck you and your fighting! I’m trying to f*cking sleep here!”

“F*ck you and your sleeping! Come fight me if you dare!” The huge black python already embroiled in battle sneered coldly.

“Hehe… I’ll kill you!” The humanoid lion was also swept up in a battle to the death with the huge black python.

An Lin: “…”

Xiao Ze’s eyes widened with befuddlement. “So a battle to the death commenced just like that? These beast tribes really are all insane!”

An Lin stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression. “This was to be expected, actually.”

“However, we still haven’t seen the reported cases of insanity, completely unprovoked slaughter, and suicidal behavior.”

“Hmm, they do seem a little more docile than what our reports suggested… I feel like once we start seeing those things happen, we probably won’t be far away from the root cause,” Xu Xiaolan said with a thoughtful voice as she peered into the distance.

However, a change struck at this moment even as the battle continued to rage.

But for some reason, that battle seemed to be growing more and more distant.

All the sounds gradually vanished, and the lights dimmed as heaven and earth turned black and white.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s expressions both shifted.

Xiao Ze immediately stood up and unleashed his black dragon crystal barrier to encapsulate the three of them!

The sound of ethereal singing drifted through the air, reverberating between heaven and earth.

It was impossible to tell what gender the singer was, but its voice seemed to flow directly into the listener’s soul.

It was also impossible to tell what they were singing, but the tune was beautiful, evoking imagery of a serene white cloud hovering lazily over clear blue skies.

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xiao Ze turned to look at the sky in unison, and an identical expression of shock appeared on their faces.

In the sky above, a path resembling an extremely wide green river appeared.

On the green path, tens of thousands of semi-transparent black beasts of all shapes and forms progressed in a slow and orderly manner. They created an imposing wave, but they were completely silent, as if this were footage from a muted video.

Most importantly, An Lin couldn’t sense any hint of life energy from them.

What the hell were these things?

Upon seeing their semi-transparent bodies, he initially thought that these were the spirit bodies from the Void Spirit Tribe.

However, even spirit bodies possessed life energy! And their emergence had even triggered phenomena between heaven and earth. What was that all about?

Among the beast tide, there were four humanoid goats over ten thousand feet tall with black fur running all over their bodies. Between them, they were carrying a humongous carriage.

He didn’t know what kind of creature could be in that carriage, but it was presumably something extremely bad*ss.

The three of them remained still and observed the situation.

It would be unwise to act rashly without gathering information in such a strange situation.

Boom!

A bolt of white lightning as thick as a water tank fell from the sky, crashing down toward the humongous carriage with a fearsome might.

The Soul Formation Stage centipede had sprung into action!
