Chapter 305: The Crawling Beast
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Out in the dark.
The silhouette of the Fire Qilin vaguely surfaced.
Baili Jia Jue threw a glance at him and asked in a soft tone, “How many crawling beasts are still here in the academy?”
“There are a few of them,” Fire Qilin lowered his gaze, “I am almost sure that Helian Wei Wei is possessed as the crawling beasts will only approach and attack the souls that are occupying someone else’s physical bodies. The beasts will then remove the souls from the physical body and bring it underground. Someone must have brought the beasts in for her.”
Baili Jia Jue’s eyes turned cold. His black and long curly hair were hanging by the side of his face, making his features exceptionally icy but beautiful and completing his ferocious appearance.
Fire Qilin continued, “Master, why don’t you be honest with Helian Wei Wei? Tell her that the true reason you locked her up with the Restrictive Iron Lock is to protect her from the search of the crawling beasts.”
Baili Jia Jue glanced at Fire Qilin nonchalantly, “That is only one of the reasons.” He sneered, “Go and find those bugs for me now.”
“Yes!” Excited, Fire Qilin transformed into a mythical beast. Fierce like a tornado, it galloped in the darkness fast, to the extent that its silhouette was barely visible.
No one knew what was happening.
Because only the beasts could sense the threat of the ancient mythical beasts.
Those crawling beasts which seemed to be searching for something around the Inferior Compound paused their actions abruptly and attempted to escape.
But Fire Qilin would never let them escape. This was the best opportunity for it to showcase its masculinity and tyranny!
Fire Qilin shook its smooth and shiny fur and squinted both its eyes. It then braked its claws as it ran back and forth between the east and west, enjoying the game.
This was witnessed by many tiny beasts that day.
Their boss, Fire Qilin, fiercely chased the crawling beasts as though it was a shepherd.
Fire Qilin even ignored those who went up to it and requested for a pat.
But, this would not stop them from adoring their boss! All of the eyes were sparkling in admiration!
Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows. He could never agree with the beauty standards of these beasts...
Noticing the adoring gazes, Fire Qilin stuck its chest out and put in more effort as it chased the crawling beasts. With no exception, every one of the crawling beasts was brought before Baili Jia Jue!
The crawling beasts were intuitively vigilant to any possibility of danger around them.
Not to mention, they were only facing a sole human now.
Of course, the only thing on their mind was to scratch Baili Jia Jue till death with their claws!
All the six crawling beasts with the size of the wild wolves then pounced onto Baili Jia Jue with murderous looks!
Baili Jia Jue did not even try to defend himself. Instead, he stood in the dark gracefully. He frowned gently and his green robe levitated all of a sudden!
The crawling beasts were then rebounded to the floor as though they had just received some sort of severe punishments. They writhed in agony, not knowing who was the man they had just upset.
Baili Jia Jue walked forward and studied his surroundings. Followed by that, he removed his black gloves with his teeth, spat coldly, “There’s one more.”
Indeed, there was another one.
The crawling beasts were different from the other beasts.
They lived in herds and liked to pull the human’s soul underground. They would normally not show their true form, hiding in the woods during the day and only worked at night.
When they worked, they only listened to their king’s command.
And now, the king had yet to appear.
Baili Jia Jue squinted his eyes. Abruptly, he grabbed something beside him. A beast that was smaller than the other crawling beasts appeared.
It was completely black except for its white and eerie eyes. The eyes were extremely evil. Common people would be frightened when they looked into this pair of eyes.
It was the king of those crawling beasts, the top-tier magical beast.
The king of the crawling beasts had apparently not expected any human to be able to expose it. Its heart throbbed, but it was not as terrifying as the other crawling beasts. In its eyes, its opponent was merely a human after all.
However, it immediately regretted it.
Standing behind the man was the ancient mythical beast which was deemed as the king of the world, the Fire Qilin!
The king of the beasts curled up its body instinctively. It appeared to be extremely respectful and fearful. At this moment, it finally studied the man’s face, “Who are you?”
“Do you think that you are allowed to ask for my name?” Baili Jia Jue’s lips were still curled up. His face was as perfect as God’s. He overlooked the beast and his golden eyes squinted.
The king beast stared at those familiar eyes before it turned around and dug the ground with its sharp claws, attempting to run away.
Thud, thud, thud...
The footsteps that followed behind it echoed across the dark, graceful and gentle but bloodthirsty at the same time.
Knowing that it could not escape, the king beast knelt down on the floor and began to plead, “Please, let me go. I was instructed!”
“Oh?” As though it was a hilarious joke, Baili Jia Jue said, “You want to be spared?”
The king beast’s eyes wavered, “I can reveal the mastermind behind this. I don’t mean to harm anyone. It was the human who involved me in this.”
“Is that so...” Baili Jia Jue looked indifferent as he stopped in his tracks.
The king beast nodded its head out of desperation. Yet, it unveiled its claws, “Definitely!”
“Hah,” Baili Jia Jue put on a scornful grin and grabbed its claws forcefully, “Do you think that I will believe you? A mythical beast never work for humans unless the person is your master. Moreover, the only clause in the bond made between a human and a mythical beast is to outlaw all sorts of betrayal.”
Crack!
It was the sound of bones breaking.
At this very moment, the king beast seemed to be hit by a sudden realization. As it stared at the beautiful face which was as perfect as God, its eyes flickered!
This man...
Is that him?
No!
That is impossible!
The king beast wanted to say something. But, before it could spit a word, its neck was broken by the man.
Its head was tilted. Before the beam of life in its eyes vanished, the eyes were full of remorse...
Baili Jia Jue retrieved his hand. His gaze was cold as he emitted a moon-like aura around him, causing all the beasts nearby fearful to go near him.
Fire Qilin was an exception.
It stood behind the man, its gigantic claws sinking into the ground. It spoke in a deep voice, “Master, the king beast can speak, implying that it must have drunk the blood of its master. But, to be willing to sacrifice for a crawling beast... this person must be someone who is hard to deal with. Master, my hunch says that something unusual has arrived at the White Academy...”
Baili Jia Jue replied nothing, but his eyes deepened like never before.
The night wind attacked.
Helian Wei Wei’s forehead began to sweat as she held her hair ornament in her right hand, trying to aim at the lock with the sharp end of the ornament.
All of a sudden, her eyes lit up!
