Chapter 1563: Ironclad Fierce Crocodile, Supreme Realm
Chapter 1563: Chapter 1563: Ironclad Fierce Crocodile, Supreme Realm
The lake’s surface once again returned to calm, as if all that had happened before had never occurred. And that half-exposed head that had baffled everyone with its species of magical beast now seemed nothing more than a momentary illusion.
The fortunate survivors regrouped by the lake. The withdrawal of those from the Dark Demon Domain didn’t even catch anyone’s attention.
When Beiting Huang approached, the crowd was still abuzz, but everyone was careful to speak in hushed tones.
“What kind of magical beast is that?”
“It looks like a flood dragon, but the strength of that flood dragon is just tremendous.”
“Do you think it could be at the overlord level?”
...“From this, it’s clear that the treasure in this lake must be extraordinary!”
While everyone was speculating about what treasure could be in the lake, Beiting Huang was very clear about it. Without a doubt, it was the two pieces of Life Light he already had in his possession that had drawn him here; the anomaly in the lake was surely caused by the Life Light.
“Yan Ye, I can’t handle the magical beast in this lake!” Beiting Huang perched on an ancient tree by the lake, gazing intently at the water’s surface that reflected hues of blue. White clouds from the sky appeared to drift in the lake itself. If not for the recent disturbance by that magical beast, one would not be able to tell that such a powerful creature lurked beneath.
The lake was incredibly vast, with no end in sight, looking almost like an inland sea.
The small furball had already burrowed out from Beiting Huang’s chest and, clutching his collar with its two front paws, peered out for a long time before hearing Yan Ye’s voice in the sea of consciousness, “If I’m not mistaken, there should be an Ironclad Fierce Crocodile in the lake, its strength already at the Supreme Realm.”
“Supreme?” Beiting Huang exclaimed in shock. Trying to snatch the Life Light from the clutches of an Ironclad Fierce Crocodile was tantamount to seeking death!
Seeing Beiting Huang so unsettled, Yan Ye couldn’t help but laugh. It was the first time he had seen the youngster so anxious, and he felt a pang of tenderness. “Don’t worry. If you hadn’t obtained the Ancestral Stone, hadn’t gotten the two pieces of Life Light, perhaps we really would have been in trouble. But now, it’s just a Supreme who has yet to comprehend the law of Elemental, possessing sheer brute strength. Don’t be afraid, I am here for you!”
Just then, someone noticed Beiting Huang, who was staying in the tree, and suddenly the whole lakeside erupted in noise. Someone pointed at Beiting Huang and said, “That’s Lord Huang Jiu, the one who saved us earlier, Lord Huang Jiu!”
It turned out that this man had also been preparing to jump into the lake to snatch the treasure first, but he had retreated automatically after being shouted at by Beiting Huang. Little did he know that he truly had just saved his own life. How could he not be overjoyed?
The man bowed to Beiting Huang and said, “Great Lord, for this treasure hunting affair, may we form an alliance with you? If we all act together to slay this magical beast and obtain the treasure, can we share it equally with you, Great Lord?”
After speaking, without waiting for Beiting Huang’s approval, the man turned to the crowd and raised his voice, “I wonder if everyone agrees with my proposal? Those who agree, step forward!”
Seeing that the crowd remained silent, glancing at Beiting Huang before giving the man a strange look, the man hurriedly turned his head to look at Beiting Huang. There he was, standing with his feet on a branch and arms folded across his chest, eyeing the man with a pair of mocking eyes, “Why should I ally with you? What makes you qualified to form an alliance with me?”
At that moment, there wasn’t a sound around the lake. Such words, if spoken by anyone else, would have surely incited rage and resentment. But when these words came from Beiting Huang’s mouth, the people found them to be quite truthful.
Instead, they felt very dissatisfied with the strong man who proposed the alliance, seeing him as utterly lacking self-awareness!
