Chapter Twenty: Oriole in Pursuit

  It was a small grass about half a foot tall, and Xiao Gu could easily find it because there were no living things within three feet of the grass, and no plants grew.

  Although he didn't know what it was specifically, Xiao Gu knew that this must be a treasure, otherwise it wouldn't have triggered a war of plunder between the two super beast clans.

  According to Xiao Gu's estimation, these two mighty beasts had already entered another realm. Their strength was far beyond what Xiao Gu could contend with! Such powerful existences were vying for dominance, and it was clear that they were not ordinary objects.

  Two great ferocious beasts, constantly fighting, Xiao Gu was quietly waiting for the moment when both would be exhausted. Now he didn't have the guts to go and take advantage of the situation, if he provoked the two great ferocious beasts to attack him at the same time, no matter how many lives he had, it wouldn't be enough to die.

  This strip of land near the coast, this evening the terrifying howls of beasts fighting, two different huge roars deafening, actually suppressed the sound of thunder in the sky!

  Ka-cha! The silver giant ape opened its mouth wide, and with one bite, it tore off a huge chunk of flesh from the giant python's body, scales and all. The chunk was at least several dozen pounds heavy. The python refused to back down, and with a burst of radiance, a golden light slashed across the ape's body, opening up a massive gash over ten feet long.

  The battle between the two was thrilling, bloody, violent and direct!

  This island is full of mysteries, and it's unknown how many unimaginable secrets exist here. Although the two ferocious beasts are powerful, Xiao Gu understood that they definitely wouldn't be the strongest.

  Because from a geographical point of view, this place is still the outermost periphery of the island. In the depths of the island, it's unimaginable how many more terrifying existences there are!

  "Roar......"

  "Ahhh..."

  Two ferocious beasts, seemingly evenly matched in strength, clashed on the mountain ridge with a deafening roar, their battle incredibly intense, causing the entire mountain to tremble as if it were alive, startling all the animals and sending them into a chorus of mournful howls.

  They are the overlords of this region, and their great war makes countless ferocious beasts tremble with fear, kneeling on the ground.

  It was a chaotic rainy night, with thunder booming and strong winds howling. Two ancient ferocious beasts were engaged in an intense battle, with all the other animals screaming and running wildly... until dawn broke, when the heavy rain finally stopped and the fierce battle between the two beasts came to an end.

  The unknown dragon returned severely injured, the mountains and forests shook violently with a loud "rustling" sound, leaves flew wildly, opening up a wide path in the mountains and forests, dragging its battered body back to the depths of the island.

  On the other hand, the silver giant ape was also seriously injured. Silver flames danced all over its body, and many terrifying wounds appeared on its torso. A large piece of fur had fallen off, and many places were bloody and blurred. Two thick legs, one of which was almost torn apart, exposing white bones that sent shivers down the spine.

  His arm was completely broken off, and although his mouth was stained with the blood of the enemy beast, its huge fangs were also broken, a pitiful victory.

  It's unimaginable how brutal the battle was, and what kind of origin that beast had, to have made the silver giant ape pay such a huge price. Fortunately, the giant ape ultimately won in the end.

  With the return of the Jiaolong, this forest area suddenly became chaotic again, and all the beasts fled in a hurry.

  Xiao Gu witnessed all of this and deeply felt the mighty power of the ancient ferocious beasts, which was truly terrifying beyond compare!

  The dragon slowly dragged its injured body away. At this time, the dark clouds covering the island also gradually dispersed, the heavy rain stopped, and the sky was already bright, it was now dawn, unknowingly, a great battle had raged on for an entire night!

  It's now that Xiao Gu turned into a shadow, sticking to the ground and moving swiftly. In the blink of an eye, he arrived beside the light green grass, grabbed it with one hand, and instantly left.

  Roar, unfortunately, Xiao Gu's action was discovered by the barbaric beast. He was furious and dragged his heavily injured body to charge over. His massive body fell to the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

  Xiao Gu could think of nothing else, and quickly fled along the road opened up by Jiaolong. Only here was the safest place, because wherever Jiaolong had been, all the fierce beasts had fled.

  Hmph!

  A silver light flashed across Xiao Gu's head and exploded in front of him, shattering hundreds of ancient trees.

  Boom!

  The silver crescent moon cut through the giant stone beside Xiao Gu's body as easily as cutting tofu.

  Ka-cha! The giant ape's fist thundered out, creating a crater dozens of meters in size on the ground, almost causing Xiao Gu to tumble into it.

  Xiao Gu had been desperately fleeing, it was hard to imagine how badly the Jiaolong was injured, tens of thousands of meters of distance were completely stained with blood, and black scales were everywhere.

  At this time, Xiao Gu had no choice but to run and didn't care if he would encounter a giant python or not. The silver giant ape was chasing him down like it had gone mad.

  Luckily, one of his legs was severely injured and he couldn't run fast, otherwise, Xiao Gu would have been torn to pieces long ago.

  However, even so, Xiao Gu was not comfortable. The silver giant ape took a step forward, equivalent to tens of meters away, and the occasional attacks hindered his speed, so at this time, the two were only about 100 meters apart.

  In the end, Xiao Gu managed to escape because the Silverback Gorilla was too heavily injured and had no choice but to give up. However, Xiao Gu didn't get off lightly either, as he took a hit on his back that left him severely wounded.

  At this time, Xiao Gu had escaped into the forest, where ancient trees reached for the sky and blocked out the sun. After a quick glance around, he found no signs of any ferocious beasts, apparently they had been scared away by the dragon earlier. Xiao Gu then found a relatively secluded spot under a tree to begin treating his wounds.

  However, the next moment, he suddenly moved sideways by more than three feet. In the instant he left his original position, a long sword and two fists fell on the previous spot, blasting the ancient tree to pieces.

  "Who is it?" Xiao Gu's face looked very bad, he was actually being followed by someone, especially since he hadn't noticed anyone here just now.

  "Hand it over, kid. Hand it over and we'll spare your life." There were three people who ambushed Xiao Gu, all of whom looked similar in attire. Two of them were at the third level of Nei Fan, while one was at the fourth level of Nei Fan. The person speaking now was the one at the fourth level of Nei Fan.

  "Looking for death," Xiao Gu's heart turned cold, just about to take action, but then another person spoke up.

  "Xiao Gu, we don't want to fight with you to the death. As long as you hand over the thing, I'll leave immediately and swear that I won't reveal your whereabouts."

  "Hmm? Xiao Gu hesitated, these three people's strength was not weak. If he were to take action, Xiao Gu could easily kill them off, but if even one of them managed to escape, then he would be in trouble."

  "Not bad, as long as you hand it over, we'll leave immediately, and I swear, we won't reveal the secret of this place," The previous person also changed his tone, they were also wary of Xiao Gu.

  After all, someone who can escape from the king's hands is absolutely not that simple. The previous move was just because Xiao Gu was injured. Now it seems that Xiao Gu's injury is not as serious as imagined, so they naturally changed their approach.

  "How can you guarantee that you won't reveal my whereabouts," Xiao Gu said with a helpless expression.

  "This is simple, I can swear that you will see how it goes." As soon as the first person saw Xiao Gu having a wavering sign, he immediately promised.

  "Alright," he said half a beat later, exhaling softly as he handed over the small blade of grass.

  Haha, I'm so happy for the first person, didn't expect Xiao Gu to be so easy to deceive. A vow? Ha! That's a joke.

  He took a big step forward and grabbed the spiritual medicine from Xiao Gu's hand.

  But the next moment, he suddenly showed a look of horror.

  Xiao Gu's wrist flipped over, and the spiritual medicine in his hand disappeared instantly. At the same time, he bent his elbow and threw a punch that came crashing over.

  Bang!

  As one of the four heavies of Nefan, even if this person had already been on guard, he was still blasted flying by Xiao Gu's one punch, his bones didn't know how many were broken, his mouth spurted out fresh blood, and he directly fainted.

  The sudden change stunned the remaining two people, until Xiao Gu took action against them, and they came back to their senses.

  Bang! One person was pierced through the chest and died with eyes wide open.

  However, another person took out a strange scroll, with a dim gray light that blocked Xiao Gu's attack.

  Splash!

  Before Xiao Gu struck again, a divine light flashed and this person vanished without a trace.

  Xiao Gu chased after him but couldn't catch up, and in his heart he felt an unparalleled sense of regret.

  Since he couldn't catch up, Xiao Gu stopped wasting his energy, turned around, walked to the guy who was previously unconscious, and stepped on him.

  But in the moment when that person's skull shattered, a black fog suddenly entered Xiao Gu's body.

  Xiao Gu was greatly shocked, and it wasn't until a moment later that he discovered this was actually something similar to an imprint. Although he couldn't refine it in a short period of time, others could use the imprint to track him down.

  This is going to be troublesome, Xiao Gu muttered to himself.
