173: Auspicious Beast Base Camp

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow. Are these Auspicious Spirit Beast’s instincts really that accurate?

They could even sense that he and A Xi hadn't lost their strength.

This made things a bit difficult. A Beast, especially an Auspicious Beast, calmly talking and negotiating with him made Luo Chen reluctant to directly take action.

“What do you offer in exchange? Why don’t you tell me?”

The Xi Rui Regenerating Beast first glanced at the Seven-Colored Deer on the ground, then spoke to Luo Chen:

“Legend says that you humans like certain materials. I can allow you to take three items from the Auspicious Spirit Beast race’s treasury.

However, the Seven-Colored Deer needs to wake up and lead the way for us.”

Luo Chen rubbed his chin, unsure if the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast’s words were trustworthy, but releasing it wouldn't matter anyway; he could always capture it back at any time.

A Xi's white tail, one of its four, swept over the Seven-Colored Deer’s body, and then the Bubble around the Seven-Colored Deer slowly vanished.

Then, the colorful Elemental Tail swept over again, and green light infused the Seven-Colored Deer’s body.

Before long, the unconscious Seven-Colored Deer slowly woke up.

The first thing the Seven-Colored Deer saw upon opening its eyes was the golden-yellow face of the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast.

It jumped up in surprise and let out several high-pitched “Yo~ Yo~ Yo~” cries.

Although Luo Chen couldn't understand what the Seven-Colored Deer was saying, he had a hunch it was speaking ill of him.

“Ahem, I’m still here. Isn’t it a bit rude to speak ill of someone right to their face?”

Hearing Luo Chen’s voice, the Seven-Colored Deer, with its back to A Xi and Luo Chen, visibly stiffened, then leaped up and instantly hid behind the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast.

“Yo~” Its voice became even sharper.

Luo Chen painfully covered his ears. What kind of deer could make such a piercing sound?

The Xi Rui Regenerating Beast also showed a slightly embarrassed expression. Its tail precisely wrapped around the Seven-Colored Deer’s mouth, stopping its continuous sharp cries.

“Cai Ying is still young and a bit timid. Please don’t mind it too much, both of you.”

After explaining to Luo Chen and A Xi, the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast turned to the Seven-Colored Deer behind it and mumbled a string of words that Luo Chen couldn't understand.

During this, the Seven-Colored Deer kept looking in Luo Chen’s direction, its small eyes clearly showing some reluctance. However, he didn't know what its relationship with the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast was, but in the end, it nodded and agreed to some of the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast’s conditions.

Perhaps having the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast by its side made it less afraid of A Xi. As it passed by Luo Chen, it even gave a slightly haughty sideways glance.

It spun in place for a while, as if determining direction, and finally looked straight towards Luo Chen’s north.

The colorful spiritual light on the Seven-Colored Deer continuously gathered at its feet, then began to spread forward, forming a rainbow bridge that looked like a solid entity.

Calling it a rainbow bridge wasn't entirely accurate, because from Luo Chen’s perspective, he could only see half of the rainbow bridge.

One end of the rainbow bridge was at the Seven-Colored Deer’s feet, and the other end disappeared after extending into the high sky.

“Human friend, this rainbow bridge connects to where our Auspicious Spirit Beast race resides. Come with us.”

While the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast was talking to Luo Chen, the Seven-Colored Deer had already hopped onto the rainbow bridge and disappeared at the far end of the rainbow bridge in mid-air.

Luo Chen nodded, “Alright.”

His generous attitude didn't at all resemble someone going to a ‘Hongmen Banquet’.

Luo Chen stretched out his foot and stomped hard on the rainbow bridge. Hmm, it was very sturdy, not at all like it was formed purely of light.

The width of the rainbow bridge was sufficient, so A Xi, Luo Chen, and the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast walked side by side.

Only after stepping onto the rainbow bridge did Luo Chen see the other half of it. It passed through layers of void folds, connecting two distant places with a stable passage.

Reaching the highest point of the rainbow bridge, Luo Chen finally saw the scenery of another space.

How to describe it? The terrain where the rainbow bridge arrived was very strange. The landing point of the rainbow bridge was a very wide flat ground, and behind the flat ground was a huge lake.

Behind the lake was a very deep canyon.

And now, in the square, many Beasts of varying appearances and races were standing or sitting.

White tigers, green peacocks, Golden-Winged Spirit Carp, Seven-Colored Deer, and even some long, dragon-like Beasts were mixed among them.

Luo Chen couldn't help but complain inwardly, no wonder he hadn't seen many Beasts outside. It turned out they were all hiding here.

However, these Beasts of different races gathered peacefully, without noise, in a completely harmonious State.

As Luo Chen walked down the rainbow bridge and got closer to these Beasts, he observed that most of their Ranks were at the King Rank.

These Beasts were also very bold. Seeing a novel face like Luo Chen appear, they weren't afraid, and even curiously approached to smell him.

Or, like the Xi Rui Regenerating Beast, they would utter a long string of gibberish, as if asking Luo Chen some questions.

Luo Chen, unable to understand, could only respond with a smile. However, his Eye of Truth was practically blinded by the detailed information of various Beasts.

For a moment, Luo Chen couldn't take it all in. He could only focus his gaze on a golden carp directly in front of him.

Just as he finished reading one, Luo Chen suddenly felt the scene before him change.

He had suddenly moved from being surrounded by a group of Auspicious Beasts to high in the sky.

“A Xi, how could you directly bring a human to the clan grounds?” The voice sounded somewhat ancient.

Then Luo Chen found that he and A Xi were both enveloped in a massive Bubble.

The stealthy Skill release and the speed of the plea were so fast that Luo Chen and A Xi, who were King Rank Nine Stars, didn't even have time to react. The Beast that made the move must have been at least Wild Rank or above.

However, even though he was temporarily controlled, Luo Chen wasn't alarmed. Instead, he looked with interest at the source of the fluctuations.

It was a giant fish nearly a hundred meters long, its body golden-red, but with two large golden wings on its back, giving it a bird-like majesty.

Moreover, its two whiskers were nearly ten meters long but somewhat pale. Luo Chen didn't know if he could use this to judge its age.

In any case, the voice sounded quite ancient.

“Golden-Winged Spirit Carp, that’s a bit of a mouthful.”
