163: Shentu Wuhong is coming

Moments after Lin Shu completed the contract, the Golden Radiance Sacred Dragon sent another Mental message.

“Tomorrow, I will take you to the Treasure Pavilion.”

After speaking, he transformed into a golden light and vanished, his destination unknown.

Clearly, it was just a notification for Lin Shu.

Tomorrow, huh? Good, I can see what treasures are inside sooner.

It was only afternoon, and the major tasks were mostly done.

Lin Shu didn't plan to stay in the Land of Dragons for too long.

Unless there were many Beasts that could be killed… He immediately asked Silver Spirit where Beasts other than dragons existed.

Upon this, Silver Spirit lowered his head in thought, pondering in his mind.

This entire area was almost entirely their dragon clan’s territory, but he had indeed gone for a ride in the distance.

He had discovered other Beasts, but their levels were quite high.

They weren’t easy to provoke.

Lin Shu didn’t mind this; he was idle anyway.

Might as well go and grind some proficiency.

With four mouths to feed, no amount of proficiency was enough for him.

Black Night now had the ability to stand on his own.

As long as the level difference wasn’t too great, they could fight.

Moreover, under the oppression of the dragon clan, how strong could they possibly be?

Silver Spirit then led Lin Shu, flying towards the distance.

Searching for traces of other Beasts… At this moment, outside on Dragonback Mountain.

The sky had already grown incredibly dark, and all the Beastmasters who had gathered to watch during the day had left.

Now, in this desolate wilderness, only Gu Li was leisurely fishing in a small stream at the foot of the mountain, one kilometer from the rift.

He kept muttering:

“The effect is amazing.”

“This Blood Crystal is really useful.”

The fish basket beside Gu Li was bulging, almost overflowing.

As his words ended, he suddenly pulled up, and another half-meter-long white fish was dragged out.

“Hahaha!”

“This is great, this is what fishing should be!”

Tuyao Zimu squatted on the ground, bored, watching his excited master.

His attention, however, was constantly on his surroundings.

So this is how you protect others, huh?

In the Black Night, a figure with no aura advanced along the path.

“Likes fishing?”

“These Beastmasters of Great Xia are indeed lost in trivial pursuits.”

Although he thought this, Shen Tu Wu Hong’s movements underfoot became even faster.

Since such a perfect opportunity presented itself, he naturally wouldn’t miss it.

Otherwise, how would he avenge his great hatred, and where would he find the body of a Genius?

Five minutes later, he had already arrived below the rift.

His heart immediately grew eager, and without the slightest hesitation, he summoned his Beast and headed towards the sky.

The earth dragon token in his hand flashed continuously, emitting a silver beam of light.

It appeared extremely conspicuous in the pitch-Black Night.

“Damn it!”

The sudden turn of events caused Shen Tu Wu Hong’s expression to change drastically.

But now was not the time to hesitate; he immediately concealed himself into the rift, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The commotion here was naturally discovered by Tuyao Zimu.

Even with his speed and perception, he hadn’t detected the other party’s movements, clearly indicating the use of a secret art to block perception.

Things were starting to go awry.

He recounted everything that had just happened to Gu Li.

“You said, someone just went in with an earth dragon token?”

Upon hearing the news, he immediately stood up, his brows tightly furrowed.

Who was this person, to possess an earth dragon token?

And why did he have to sneak in at this late hour, undetected even by him and Tuyao Zimu?

If it were a normal person, they wouldn't do such a thing, so the one who just entered was definitely not a good guy.

Gu Li grew increasingly uneasy, looking at the fishing rod before him with some anger.

He rushed forward and snapped it.

The unease in his heart grew stronger; under the moonlight, his lips were pressed so tightly they turned pale.

He just stared blankly at the dark vortex.

If Lin Shu really met with an accident, he would never be able to forgive himself.

This was all due to his oversight… Shen Tu Wu Hong, who had entered the Land of Dragons, was displeased.

Why was this earth dragon token different from when Lin Shu used it?

Now that his whereabouts had been discovered, he would simply lie low in this Otherworld.

He would only emerge once he had the means to contend with them, otherwise his life would be in danger.

With the Talent bonus from Lin Shu’s body, that day wouldn’t be far off.

Furthermore, as a Spirit Origin-level Beastmaster, the other party must be busy; how could he continuously stake out for him like this?

A Genius is only useful if he grows; a Genius who dies young is nothing.

Having thought this through, Shen Tu Wu Hong returned to normal; this was now a somewhat acceptable outcome.

A sinister smile appeared; his main task now was to find Lin Shu.

Otherwise, if the other party slipped away, all his efforts would be in vain.

He then called out to the Golden Horn Vanguard.

And began searching in the vast Black Night.

Because it was night, all the dragons that usually roamed around had returned to their territories.

At the entrance, there was no sound, only Black Night and silence.

The “earth dragon token” at Shen Tu Wu Hong’s waist remained motionless, simply swinging left and right due to inertia.

On the other side, Lin Shu was temporarily residing in a stone house that had been left behind earlier.

He lay on the stone bed, quietly resting.

This place was very close to the entrance, only a few hundred meters away.

Black Night Saturn Ziyu and Silver Spirit lay prostrate on the ground, resting peacefully.

Such a short distance meant they were quickly discovered.

Now, looking at the stone house flickering with a faint light, Shen Tu Wu Hong couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

It was truly effortless.

Your body is mine!

As for the possibility of failure, he hadn’t even considered it.

Even if he was a Genius, how strong could he be at this point?

He then commanded the Golden Horn Vanguard beside him.

“Golden Horn, go.”

“Remember to leave that Beastmaster alive.”

“Roar!”

A silent roar erupted; the Golden Horn Vanguard bared its massive, bloody maw, its face exuding a murderous intent, like a demon beast from a sea of blood.

Clearly, it had been trained to be this way by Shen Tu Wu Hong.

It charged forward without hesitation.

Its speed was extremely fast, and tiny golden lights flickered continuously in the air, transforming into countless golden needles.

They assaulted the stone house.

Such an energy fluctuation immediately startled Tuyao, who was on guard.

Normally, he would silently stand guard in the middle of the night.

He instinctively moved towards the direction of the energy gathering, his broad body blocking the front, and a yellow protective shield appeared on his body.

“Bang!”

Stones scattered, revealing a huge hole in the wall.

Thanks to Tuyao’s protection, everyone was safe and sound.

All the numerous golden needles were blocked, relying on the shield and his own defense.

Tuyao only sustained some minor injuries.

This commotion also startled Lin Shu and Hei Ye and the others.

Seeing the sudden attack, they clearly understood the current situation.

Everyone became alert.

Ziyu and Black Night immediately flew high into the air.

With energy accumulating within them, they directly attacked the opponent.

White saber light and a purple serpent instantly appeared before the Golden Horn Vanguard.

They struck, but were blocked by a faint golden barrier; however, the defense was clearly insufficient, and the aftershocks hit its body, leaving a noticeable bloody mark.

Such a powerful attack made him frown slightly.

Lin Shu also immediately saw the target that had attacked him.

It was a middle-aged man.

There was actually a second person who entered this Land of Dragons?

He had never heard any related news.

Under the illumination of the skill lights, he could clearly see the other party’s face, an ordinary, common face.

However, his face was incredibly pale, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins; this person had a sinister and dark appearance.

Lin Shu clearly remembered that he had never seen this person.

But why would the other party ambush him?

The force of that attack was definitely aimed at eliminating him.

Since the other party attacked him, he was an enemy.

And he even wanted his life.

Lin Shu’s gaze grew increasingly cold.

Since you want to kill me, then I’ll take your life first!

Feeling Lin Shu’s surging killing intent, everyone immediately sensed this emotion through the contract.

Several pairs of cold eyes stared fiercely at Shen Tu Wu Hong.

At this moment, the Golden Horn Vanguard was full of vigor and power; the stimulation of blood made it even more ferocious.

Its claws swung freely, unleashing two crescent golden arcs one after another!

They carried the sharpness and keenness unique to the metal attribute….
