Chapter 145: Chapter 118 The History of the Canglong Family (5000 words, please subscribe)_3

Leng Wanbai’s lips twitched. The Perfect Spine-eating Gu being reduced to such a state... truly pitiful.

...

After the minor hiccup, the group continued on their journey.

As the sun set in the west, the group caught sight of a wide river in the distance.

The twilight glow spilled onto the river’s surface, forming shimmering waves of light.

Crossing this river would take them close to the Eastern Dragon Island, not far from the Mechanical Ruins City.

"Roar..."

The Bone Dragon let out a low growl, leading the group as they flew toward the river.

The river surface was calm, but the Dragon Beasts drinking on the riverbank raised their heads to see the Ice Bone Dragon passing overhead. They scattered in all directions in panic.

"Gurgle..."

Suddenly, the calm river surface erupted with dozens of surging streams, followed by massive Water Arrows shooting up from the water, targeting the group’s cultivated beasts.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

The Water Arrows surged forth. Leng Wanbai remained calm and unperturbed. With a single icy breath from the Ice Bone Dragon, the incoming Water Arrows froze into glistening Cold Ice Water Arrows and dropped into the river.

"Ang..."

Immediately afterward, massive Canglong surfaced from the water, their mutated organs spraying out even more Water Arrows that blotted out the sky.

"Roar..."

The Ice Bone Dragon lowered its head with an earth-shaking roar, continuously unleashing Extreme Cold Energy that turned the Canglong along with the river surface into ice sculptures.

"Hurry up! These Canglong aren’t even Horror Four Stars, yet they dare to attack me. There must be a bigger enemy lurking below," Leng Wanbai waved her hand and commanded.

At her words, the group swiftly maneuvered their cultivated beasts and sped toward the river’s opposite bank.

"How could there be Canglong in the river? This is unbelievable. Canglong should be in the ocean..."

"Stop mumbling! Move faster—you don’t want to inconvenience Big Sister..."

"Oh, oh..."

"Boom..."

Suddenly, the river erupted with a thunderous explosion. River water sprayed everywhere, turning into massive waves that engulfed the group.

"Ang!!"

Amid the towering waves, the enormous silhouette of a colossal creature gradually revealed itself.

"Bad news! Judging by the size of this Canglong, it must be a Horror Four Star!"

The group cried out in alarm and scattered desperately in all directions.

At that moment, the Ice Bone Dragon unleashed Extreme Cold Energy to freeze the tremendous waves in mid-air.

But the gigantic Canglong leapt out of the water, smashing the frozen waves into shards and opening its gaping maw to bite at the Greedy Snake under Qin Shou’s feet.

It was the same Canglong from earlier!

Seeing this, Qin Shou’s face turned grim.

Just a few days ago, he’d helped resolve its trouble—yet now it was trying to eat him. No gratitude whatsoever.

Dragon Beasts, not one can be trusted.

In the blink of an eye, a golden glow enveloped Qin Shou’s entire body.

"Emperor Armor, Fusion!"

"Chime!"

In the next moment, the sharp sound of metal rang out. A Fire-and-Earth Emblem overlapped in front of Qin Shou, conjuring a massive molten giant stone that he hurled toward the Canglong’s gaping maw.

Fire and Earth Intense Rock!

Take that!

"Boom!"

The molten rock landed in the Canglong’s mouth, seemingly plugging its throat and enraging it further.

"Ang!"

The enormous Canglong fell back into the river, spat out the extinguished giant stone, and once more lunged at Qin Shou.

Quickly retracting the Greedy Snake, Qin Shou grasped his waist. Instantly, a wine-red Battle Armor enveloped his form.

Instant Acceleration!

"Knight Kick!"

"Boom!"

Explosive radiance ignited beneath Qin Shou’s feet like a meteor speeding toward the riverbank.

His target wasn’t the Canglong—using Knight Kick against it would be akin to serving himself up on a platter!

"See ya!"

"Whoosh..."

A meteor streaked across the river’s surface, tearing past the group and smashing down on the forest across the river, obliterating a massive swath of trees.

The group stared in disbelief, expressions riddled with astonishment.

A finishing move... could be used like this?

Noted, noted...

Meanwhile, the Canglong, having missed its target, grew even more furious. Falling back into the river once more, it churned up a ten-meter-diameter water column to blast at the Ice Bone Dragon.

Even if the Bone Dragon looked like it had no meat, surely it was filling!

It was said that in the lineage of the Canglong, one drank bone soup for three consecutive years—Canglong would already consider itself blessed to do the same.

Facing the colossal Canglong’s charge, Leng Wanbai showed no fear, skillfully commanding her Bone Dragon to engage in fierce combat.

A Horror Four Star Canglong could easily entice numerous young human fighters into becoming its minions.

...

Across the river, Qin Shou felt no inclination to strike a pose—no one was admiring him anyway.

He turned to watch Leng Wanbai battling the immense Canglong on the river, his eyes narrowing.

Should I intervene...

No, the gap in power is too wide. This Canglong isn’t even a match for the Ice Bone Dragon—it’d be reckless to act rashly.

With the Gold-eating Insect’s assistance, in another month, I’ll advance to Vajra Second Star. By then, I’ll have greater confidence in dealing with Leng Wanbai at Vajra Realm Four Star.

While pondering, Qin Shou abruptly felt a sinister wind behind him, accompanied by thunderous beast roars.

A monster dares to stand behind me?

Unacceptable!

In a flash, he tapped the Insect Instrument at his waist. Electric energy surged through him, condensing underfoot.

"Knight Kick!"

Spin—kick!

"Boom!"

With a flawless spinning kick, Energy burst forth, sending a tiger-like monster collapsing to the ground with a mournful cry.

The Four Little Saints, who’d arrived first on the riverbank, exchanged bewildered glances.

"Could Brother Qin be the rumored Sky-pointing Demon?"

"That couldn’t be—he didn’t point toward the sky this time..."

"But this scene matches what they described perfectly..."

"Oh no—Brother Qin, watch out behind you!!"

Just then, Xu Xin pointed behind Qin Shou, his face pale.

At that moment, Qin Shou’s vision revealed a dozen monsters lunging wildly toward his back.

Why could he see enemies behind him?

Well, obviously because he installed a 360-degree panoramic vision device—otherwise, no one could predict when an attack from behind would strike.

Predictions rely on assumptions, which are the least reliable.

Faced with the oncoming wave of monsters, Qin Shou didn’t bother to show off theatrics.

These monsters were all Horror Two Stars, and clearly cultivated beasts. Surely there were hidden enemies lurking nearby.

With this thought, Qin Shou tapped his waist, activating the Instant Acceleration Device.

"Whoosh..."

A streak of motion vanished as Qin Shou disappeared in an instant, leaving the rushing beasts attacking empty air. They could only redirect their sights to the approaching Four Little Saints.

"Roar!!"

"Ang!!"

The cultivated beasts howled and charged forward. The Four Little Saints looked grim.

"Someone’s ambushing us by the riverbank—quick, alert everyone..."

"Who could it be..."

"Forget that—just hold them off until reinforcements arrive..."

"Alright."

In the blink of an eye, four knockoff sacred beasts charged at the enemy. The Four Little Saints mounted their Beast-shaped Mechas and joined the fray.

As for Qin Shou, he unleashed a swarm of Gold-eating Insects to track the hidden adversaries.
