Chapter 215 Jade Crown
It watched as the true form of the cat-owl, which was the human soul saint who attacked it, gradually rose higher and flew away.
The scaly behemoth was filled with resentment and rage.
Even though it scratched the cat-owl's rear end hard with its claw, it still felt unsatisfied.
To vent its rage, it raged wildly in the forest for a long time, destroying a large area of jungle.
A full quarter of an hour later.
The scaled behemoth returned dejectedly to the spot where it had previously enjoyed its meal, picked up the humanoid ape arm that had been discarded on the ground, and began to chew it fiercely.
He then grabbed the other half of the humanoid ape that hadn't been eaten yet due to the attack, and threw it into his mouth, crunching and chewing.
Two long, white, humanoid ape legs dangled on either side of the protruding lips, rising and falling with each chew, and slowly sliding into the mouth.
"You beast, you're asking for death!"
Just then, a roar filled with boundless rage came from afar.
Following closely behind was a giant blue dragon whose entire body was filled with terrifying lightning power.
The dragon was more than twice as large as the scaly beast.
The scaly behemoth looked like a little brother in front of the dragon.
Having just survived another attack by a human Soul Saint, the scaled behemoth has become much more cautious.
It heard the howling that grew louder as it approached, and it also saw the blue dragon charging towards it.
But
It couldn't dodge it, nor did it have time to dodge it.
Because the blue dragon's speed was simply too fast.
With a furious roar, the blue dragon, carrying terrifying lightning power, ripped through the void like a blue bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, a thick dragon claw slammed heavily into the belly of the scaled beast.
The location of the dragon claw attack was exactly the same as the location of Flander's previous attack, but the consequences of the dragon claw attack were many times more terrifying.
boom!
A muffled thud.
The bombardment hit its target in an instant. The scaly behemoth's egg-sized, crystalline yellow eyes bulged outwards, and its protruding jaws snapped shut with a smacking sound, biting off two large white legs that it hadn't yet fully swallowed. Two snow-white feet fell from its mouth.
boom!
The loud noise was like a thunderclap.
A terrifying burst of thunderous soul power erupted.
The massive body of the scaled beast was sent flying backward, drawing a straight line in the air.
At the same time, a blue lightning flashed across the scaled behemoth, its limbs twisting and swaying uncontrollably, and with a hissing sound, it seemed as if all its bones could be seen.
The scaly beast flew straight back more than ten feet, crashing through a lot of trees.
Finally, with a thud, it crashed to the ground.
Faced with the blue dragon's attack, the scales on the giant beast's body offered almost no protection, and were instantly pierced by the terrifying lightning soul power.
At this moment, the scaled behemoth was charred black all over, with a huge charred crater showing on its abdomen.
It lay on the ground, groaning and coughing up blood, unable to get up; it was severely injured.
One strike and it's over.
The blue dragon did not press its advantage and kill the scaled beast in one fell swoop, but instead stopped.
On the dragon's head, a pair of huge, silver-plated dragon eyes glanced at the pair of feet that had fallen from the mouth of the scaly beast—well, big feet.
The blue dragon was taken aback for a moment, then released its powerful spiritual energy, carefully sensing the two large feet for a while.
"So it really wasn't Erlong!"
A moment later, a deep male voice came from the blue dragon's mouth.
Those large feet contained a rich aura of soul beasts, clearly not from a human, and therefore could not possibly belong to Liu Erlong.
Judging from its shape, it seems to be a unique thousand-year-old soul beast from Sunset Forest, a humanoid demon ape.
Thinking of this, the blue dragon breathed a long sigh of relief and felt at ease.
It immediately transformed into a burst of blue light, gradually shrinking and converging. The lightning sparks that filled the air vanished instantly as the blue light disappeared.
The next instant, a tall and muscular figure emerged from the blue light.
Beneath his feet, eight spirit rings—yellow, purple, black, and dark black—shone brightly, undulating and rhythmically moving around his body.
This shows that his cultivation level is at the Soul Douluo level.
This figure was none other than the one who had traveled thousands of miles from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, transformed into a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.
His identity is Yu Luomian, the vice sect leader and second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
At the same time, he also has a very special identity, which is—
Liu Erlong's biological father.
To be precise, Liu Erlong is Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter.
When Yu Luomian was young, he left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to go out and train, where he met Liu Erlong's mother and the two fell in love.
Later, due to the sect's circumstances, Yu Luomian had to abandon Liu Erlong's mother.
At that time, Liu Erlong's mother was already pregnant. She gave birth to Liu Erlong alone and raised him to adulthood before passing away not long after.
When Yu Luomian learned that she had another daughter and came looking for her, Liu Erlong's mother had already passed away due to illness.
Because of her mother's upbringing, Liu Erlong was relatively positive. She didn't hate her biological father, Yu Luomian, but she did harbor some dissatisfaction and resentment.
Therefore, the relationship between the father and daughter has never been very good.
Furthermore, the wedding mishap that occurred more than ten years ago deepened the rift between Yu Luomian and Liu Erlong, ultimately leading to a complete break, and they never saw each other again.
Yu Luomian felt extremely guilty about his illegitimate daughter.
However, due to the strict rules of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even as the second-in-command of the clan, he could not overstep them, let alone bring Liu Erlong into the clan to acknowledge her ancestry. Otherwise, he would lose all authority and even be punished.
At that time, Liu Erlong, as an illegitimate daughter, would very likely be arrested by the sect, or even executed.
However, Yu Luomian has continued to pay attention to Liu Erlong.
Over the years, they have given her a lot of support, both openly and secretly.
It's just that Liu Erlong himself didn't know it.
The reason Yu Luomian is here is naturally because of Liu Erlong.
Not long ago.
Yu Luomian received the news.
His daughter, Liu Erlong, found herself in danger in the Sunset Forest.
In his haste, he didn't have time to think much and immediately transformed into a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex at the sect's base, rushing over there.
When they tracked them down to this place.
Just then, from afar, they spotted a massive, scaled beast chewing on a pair of long, white legs.
Yu Luomian subconsciously assumed it was her daughter Liu Erlong, and that she had been murdered. Enraged, she launched an attack.
Fortunately, as an eight-ring Soul Douluo, he possessed immense spiritual power and keen perception.
Just as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's claw touched the scaled behemoth and was about to tear it in two, it discovered the anomaly.
He discovered that the pair of feet visible near the mouth of the scaly beast were far too large, and did not resemble his daughter Liu Erlong's feet at all.
His daughter, Liu Erlong, was slender and incredibly graceful. How could she possibly have such large feet, with soles over ten inches long?!
Therefore, Yu Luomian concluded that the one who was eaten was not his daughter Liu Erlong.
So he promptly withdrew most of his soul power, halving the power of his attack, and changed the tearing attack of the dragon claw into a bombardment.
However, even though the attack was weakened by half, it was still an attack launched in his anger, and it was something that a mere 40,000-year-old scaled behemoth could not withstand.
The result was that the scaled behemoth was instantly severely injured, collapsed to the ground, and could not get up.
Yu Luomian withdrew her gaze from those large feet and activated her powerful spiritual energy to carefully sense her surroundings.
"The absence of any trace of the two dragons' soul power indicates that the two dragons have never appeared here."
After confirming, Yu Luomian turned her gaze to the scaled beast and walked towards it.
Upon realizing that it was suddenly being stared at by a terrifying being, the scaly behemoth that had been howling in agony instantly stopped screaming, and its massive body began to tremble violently.
He's actually an eight-ring Soul Douluo?!
As the human with eight spirit rings under his feet strode towards him, the scaled behemoth felt utterly hopeless and could only obediently prostrate itself on the ground in submission.
Possessing remarkable intelligence, it understood that only by doing so might it have a sliver of a chance to survive.
"Oh? You actually know how to admit defeat and submit? Trying to gain a chance to survive? It seems your intelligence isn't low."
Yu Luomian was slightly surprised to see the giant scaled beast prostrating itself in submission.
However, he could understand it.
Because all soul beasts that have lived for tens of thousands of years or more possess a certain degree of intelligence.
Moreover, the longer one lives, the higher one's intelligence becomes.
This giant, scaled beast has reached the age of 40,000 years and possesses considerable intelligence, capable of understanding the meaning contained in some human languages.
If you communicate with it using soul power to transmit sound, it might actually be able to understand some language information.
"We could try asking it if it knows where the two dragons are."
Yu Luomian thought to herself.
"A scaly behemoth, is it? If you want to live, answer my questions. If you understand, nod."
With a thought in mind, Yu Luomian's gaze turned cold as she looked at the trembling mountain of flesh of the scaled beast. She used her soul power to force her voice into a line and transmitted it into the scaled beast's ears.
The sudden transmission of soul power surprised the scaled behemoth.
It did not fully understand the words transmitted through sound.
But it understood the meanings implied by "want to live," "answer," "question," and "nod."
It quickly stopped trembling and nodded its bear-like head.
"very good."
Seeing this, Yu Luomian was slightly satisfied. She continued to transmit her voice through her soul power, saying in a chilling tone, "Since that's the case, then answer my questions truthfully. Otherwise..."
As he spoke, one of his arms instantly transformed into a dragon claw.
On the dragon claw, thunderous soul power condensed into a blue ball of light, crackling with blue arcs of electricity. One could easily sense at a glance that it contained extremely terrifying energy.
The scaled behemoth didn't understand the subsequent soul power transmission, but it sensed a strong sense of threat within it.
Furthermore, seeing the human Soul Douluo before it, with a ball of lightning soul power condensed in the hand that had transformed into a dragon claw, the aura emanating from it made it tremble with fear.
So the scaly behemoth quickly nodded again.
Yu Luomian was considered quite tall for a human, but he appeared somewhat small standing in front of the massive, scaled beast that resembled a mountain of flesh.
However, the scaled behemoth dared not think that way at this moment.
The jade crown before it gave it a feeling—
Horror!
"I'm asking you, where did that female Soul Saint you fought a day ago go?"
At this moment, Yu Luomian used her soul power to transmit a telepathic message.
"A female soul saint? Huh?"
The scaled behemoth paused for a moment upon hearing this.
It immediately realized that the human Soul Douluo in front of it wanted to know about the human female Soul Saint who had gone mad and slaughtered Soul Beasts.
It immediately began waving its claws, making rapid back-and-forth gestures.
Yu Luomian frowned, trying hard to understand what the scaled beast meant.
"You mean, she was rescued?"
After a while, Yu Luomian's eyes suddenly lit up.
After the scaled behemoth repeated the gestures several times, he finally grasped the message it conveyed.
The scaly behemoth nodded hurriedly, then began to cackling and gesturing.
One moment it would gesture a height in mid-air, and the next it would wave both claws at the same time, drawing several lines as if it were depicting a person's figure.
A short while later, it suddenly started howling, with a whimpering tone, as if accusing some hateful human, and also expressing all the grievances of being beaten.
It's a pity that Yu Luomian stared at it for so long.
I didn't understand.
I don't understand what it's gesturing about.
"Alright."
Seeing the massive, scaled beast gesturing wildly with its claws, Yu Luomian's eyebrows twitched, and she called out to stop it.
"At least we know that Erlong was rescued and his life should be safe."
Yu Luomian rubbed his temples and began to ponder, "Judging from the way the scaled beast gestured, it's highly likely that the one who rescued the two dragons was a man."
"No, we still need to find Erlong as soon as possible, lest the person who saved her can't help but have bad intentions towards her."
"After all, Erlong inherited all the best qualities from both me and her mother. She is naturally beautiful, with an exceptionally pretty face and a great figure. This has an invisible attraction for other men."
A moment later, Yu Luomian looked at the scaled beast again and asked through her soul power:
"Do you know which direction they went next?"
The scaly behemoth first shook its head, then seemed to remember something, and stretched out its claws, pointing towards the outer area.
"Does that mean they should be in the outer area?"
Yu Luomian pondered for a moment, "That makes sense. Going to the outer areas is indeed the best choice, since the outer areas are much safer than other areas."
"However, Erlong should be injured, and he probably won't be able to go very far in a short time. If he is in the outer area, he should be hiding somewhere to recuperate and rest."
"Let's go back to the area where Erlong was rescued and take another look. Let's see if we can find any clues. We rushed there earlier because we were worried about Erlong's safety and didn't have time to check carefully."
"Hmm, let's take a look around that area. Maybe we've just missed Erlong?"
huh~~
After figuring it out, Yu Luomian breathed a sigh of relief, her heavy heart finally relaxed a little, and her heartstrings were no longer so tense.
They traveled non-stop for almost a whole day.
Despite being a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level, he still felt utterly exhausted.
"Alright, you can go now."
Yu Luomian waved at the scaled behemoth.
With a roar, the scaly beast felt greatly relieved and hurriedly dragged its heavily injured body away into the depths of Sunset Forest.
The outside world is too dangerous.
First, it encountered a crazed female Soul Saint, then a mysterious male Soul Saint, and finally, a Soul Douluo appeared, almost taking its life.
Indeed, it's safer deep in the forest.
Deep in the forest, it was at most beaten up a few times by that wretched human boy. Although that human boy was despicable, at least he wouldn't take its life.
The human soul masters they encountered later were truly relentless in their attacks, all wanting to kill it.
At this moment, the scaled behemoth was constantly thinking.
In just a few days, its life had been so full of hardships that it couldn't help but burst into tears.
The scaly behemoth decided that once it returned to the depths of Sunset Forest, it would live there for the rest of its life and never come out again.
Even if it dies of thirst, starvation, or old age deep within the forest, it would never want to take even a single step outside its depths.
