The Prodigies War

Watching from the shadows, Lin Xun couldn’t help but be impressed by the old fellow’s confidence. He was indeed worthy of being a king.

However, everything was progressing as he wanted. He was on full alert, ready to act.

Boom!

He had to admit that the Black Nightmare Black Dog Clan experts were too domineering and arrogant. They descended upon the unknown mountain in such a mighty manner and caused such a huge disturbance like they were superior and fearless of anything.

He almost burst out laughing. Those bastards think they are the best in the world, but let’s see what they will look like when the Single-horned Golden-Eyed Beast appears.

“Whoa! There are so many precious medicinal ingredients!’

The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts were originally erupting with murderous intent and couldn’t wait to get their hands on Lin Xun, but their attention was very quickly drawn elsewhere. Their eyes widened with delight at the rare medicinal ingredients dotted all over the mountain.

“That’s the Fire Jujube Tree! Heavens, the branches are already covered with ripe fruits. One Fire Jujube is worth ten mid-grade aeth essence!” Many experts’ eyes blazed covetously, and some started to drool.

“There’s also Gold Vein Snow Lotus. Based on their appearance, they must have been growing for at least tens of thousands of years. The lotus plants have already produced Gold Vein Lotus Seeds, which are one of the rarest medicines in the world.”

“That...aren’t those Purple Nascent Blood Mushrooms? It has thirty-six leaves, and its roots are as long as waterfalls! How rare!”

Even Gou Xuxing, Gou Shan, and Gou Hai were moved by the sight. As they surveyed the surroundings, their eyes gleamed every time they discovered a precious medicinal ingredient.

Only Gou Gui remained calm and composed. As a true king, he no longer paid any attention to the so-called rare medicinal ingredients. But soon, his expression tensed and he exclaimed in surprise, “There is a cave left here!”

Shua!

His remark attracted everyone’s attention. All eyes shifted towards the direction of his gaze. After that, everyone lost their composure and their eyes blazed more intensely.

The mountain was not only otherworldly beautiful, but had also given birth to many precious medicinal ingredients. Could there be more shocking opportunities buried in the cave?

Gou Dong’s eyes flickered around as he calmly analyzed, “Perhaps, that kid is hiding in there right now!”

That sentence filled Gou Xuxing’s heart with murderous intent. Immediately, he ordered with a wave of his hand. “Go in and take a look, but remember to be extra careful.”

He didn’t let his anger cloud his judgment. He decided to send his subordinates inside to check out the situation first.

But Gou Gui chuckled, “There is no need for that. I can check it out alone.”

In truth, he knew that the mountain was extraordinary and that there might be peerless treasures hidden inside the cave, so he couldn’t let anyone get to them before him.

While speaking, he stepped forward and shrank as small as a thumb. As his blood-colored cloak fluttered in the air, he had already vanished into the depths of the cave.

Gou Xuxing’s eyes flashed. He could read Gou Gui’s mind, and he felt a little annoyed that an elder of the clan wanted to be the first to snatch the opportunity.

“Gou Shan, Gou Hai,” he said.

“Young Master, is there an order?” the two half-step kings asked urgently.

“Go inside and take a look with Lord Gui. This place is very unusual. It looks beautiful, but we don’t know what dangers are hidden inside. We can’t let Lord Gui take the risks for us,” Gou Xuxing ordered in a deep voice.

Gou Shan and Gou Hai immediately understood that they were being sent to supervise Gou Gui. Whoever discovered any kind of peerless opportunity mustn’t pocket it themselves!

Immediately, with a flash, the two darted into the depths of the cave.

At the foot of the mountain, Lin Xun was watching everything in the shadows, and his expression turned more and more strange. How daring! They are still fighting and scheming against each other at this time!

He thought he had to put in more effort to make the Black Nightmare Black Dog Clan experts and the Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast fight to the death while he reaped the benefits, but the situation was progressing beyond his expectation. He didn’t need to do anything for those bastards to walk into the trap.

He almost choked trying to stifle his laughter.

He secretly gathered his strength, ready to strike.

Meanwhile, Gou Xuxing was clearly in a very good mood on the mountain. He thought he could not only capture the target today, but also find some rare fortune. He felt blessed by the heavens.

“After the rain comes good weather!”

Gou Xuxing had always believed in luck.

“Haha, my luck is here and it’s impossible to stop it!” He chuckled leisurely.

The others nodded and flattered, “Young Master is blessed by heavens and is born with incredible luck that will shine through the ages!”

Gou Xuxing smiled smugly in his heart, but he said calmly, “I have self-awareness, I may have luck, but I can’t possibly shine forever, so please don’t praise me like that.”

He glanced around. “There are medicinal ingredients planted all over this place, go and pick them. You guys can also keep some of them for yourself. Take it as a reward for this operation.”

“Thank you, Young Master!” Gou Dong and the others perked up immediately. They had been itching to do so.

Gou Xuxing smiled reservedly, but he was feeling more and more pleased. His previous anger and frustration had been completely swept away, and his spirit had been lifted.

“This mountain really deserves to be called a treasure land. Perhaps, this is a kind of good luck that befalls me?” he murmured. “If I have such good luck in my future cultivation path then I wouldn’t need to worry about becoming a genius of the world and rising to the top of the world in the battle of the great age?”

Boom!

Suddenly, the whole mountain quaked violently. The auspicious qi roiled around the mountain and a wave of divine light swept across in a spectacular scene.

Gou Xuxing’s eyes flashed like lightning, and he exclaimed, “Are the heavens responding to my voice?”

The next moment, his body went stiff and his pupils dilated.

He saw a figure frantically rushing out of the cave, hair disheveled, clothes ragged and skin scorched.

It was like a madman.

Gou Xuxing almost jumped up in shock and slapped the person. “Who are you?! How dare you scare me!”

The discomposed figure never expected that Gou Xuxing would attack all of a sudden and failed to block in time.

However, he was unwounded by the palm strike while Gou Xuxing was blasted back several steps. His expression dramatically changed as he tried to steady his body, but when he recognized the person, he couldn’t help screaming like a ghost, “Lord Gui, It’s you! What happened to you?!”

The disheveled-haired man was none other than Gou Gui!

Gou Xuxing stared at him blankly, taken by surprise by the unexpected incident. Gou Gui was a king, but he sprinted out like a madman after he went into the cave to look for peerless opportunities.

“Young Master, run quickly! We’ve been tricked!”

Gou Gui had no time to explain, so he took Gou Xuxing and soared into the sky.

The other Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts stood dumbfounded. What’s going on?

They were happily picking rare medicinal ingredients, so how would they not be caught off guard by such an incident?

“Ah—!”

“No—!”

Two spine-chilling screams rang almost at the same time from the depths of the cave before they stopped abruptly.

But everyone could identify the voices to be that of Gou Shan and Gou Hai, two half-step kings!

Instantly, their scalps numbed, and their hearts were flooded with fear. Realizing that something was wrong, they gave up on the rare medicinal ingredients, turned around and bolted in terror, running faster than the other, as if wishing they had four legs instead of two.

So terrifying!

They had a feeling that Gou Shan and Gou Hai might have suffered an accident. Even though Gou Gui had escaped, he looked extremely discomposed, unlike his usual self. This indicated that there was no peerless opportunity in the cave, but instead peerless danger!

Gou Xuxing’s expression was the worst of them all, as if someone had beaten him with a stick. He trembled all over.

We’ve been tricked!

This place might be exceptionally beautiful like a land of treasure, but it is riddled with dangers.

We were ecstatic, thinking that we had found a great opportunity, but it turned out to be like this...

Gou Xuxing almost vomited blood from anger.

He thought that good luck had befallen him, and he had nothing to worry about in the future.

It never crossed his mind that the situation would be reversed in the blink of an eye. Reality slapped him hard in the face and filled him with shame and indignation. He almost went berserk with rage.

“What the hell is going on?” His face was darker than the clouds as Gou Gui brought him to the high altitude.

Looking down from the height, he could see that the unknown mountain was roaring and quaking, and a terrifying oppressive power was spreading outwards.

“That’s...” Gou Xuxing was terror-stricken.

“A Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast that has stepped into the king stage, or perhaps it should be called the beast king!’ Gou Gui’s voice was cold and low, and his face was ashen.

He took the lead to rush into the cave, thinking that there was a peerless opportunity, but who would have thought that he would run into a Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast?!

The beast possessed boundless and terrifying strength. By the time he realized that something was wrong, it was already too late to escape. The beast slapped him with its tail and sent him flying. His skin was ripped open, and his flesh was mangled. He was injured quite heavily.

He was a king who had moved unhindered across the world for many years. He never attached any importance to ordinary kings, but he was tragically beaten by the tail of a beast.

Imaginably, the beast king possessed abnormally terrifying strength.

So, he immediately decided to run for his life!

Intense shame flooded him as he thought back to the scene.

He was blasted away head-on. Had he ever looked so embarrassing before?

It was the greatest shame and humiliation in his life!

In the sky, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts were all haphazardly fleeing for their lives. Meanwhile, Lin Xun was watching them all in the dark, and he couldn’t help from sighing to himself. What are panicking stray dogs? They are!

The distressed appearance of Gou Gui and Gou Xuxing was an eye-opener for Lin Xun.

Soon, he couldn’t care about that anymore because the mountain was roaring more and more violently. A wave of terrifying majesty accompanied by blinding golden rays of light was spreading like a tide, stirring the wind and clouds and sending a shudder through the earth.

Lin Xun knew that the Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast was about to come out, and his opportunity was also about to come…
