Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

However, just as the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat swallowed Lei Luo, it suddenly reacted as if it had eaten something utterly foul. "BLECH! BLECH! BLECH!" It gagged and immediately spat Lei Luo out.

'What is this thing! Disgusting and vile! Just like that moth from before!'

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat shot Lei Luo a disdainful glance, raised its massive paw, and brought it down on him with a CRUNCH.

Bright red blood splattered across the ground.

Lei Luo was crushed flat, completely devoid of life.

Nearby, Lei Ba jumped in fright for no apparent reason, looking up at the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat in astonishment. "What in the world are you?"

This was definitely no ordinary Fierce Beast. Its power was absolutely above the Earth Profound Realm, and it was certainly not a beast from the Jiuli Mountain Range.

He knew the Jiuli Mountain Range like the back of his hand; what kind of Fierce Beast could there be inside that he hadn't seen before?

While he was lost in his daze, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat's enormous head had already turned to look at him.

Lei Ba froze for a moment. "Damn you! You beast!"

Suddenly, a brilliant light erupted from his body as the surging Spiritual Power within him gushed out without reservation.

The Thunder Fire Divine Sword in his hand began to glow.

"CRACKLE!"

Bright red thunder-flames burst forth.

Lei Ba viciously swung his Treasure Sword.

A fiery Thunder Dragon coiled around the Divine Sword and soared into the air. With unstoppable momentum, the Thunder Fire Divine Sword slashed down upon the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat.

"CLANG!"

A crisp sound rang out!

The Thunder Fire Divine Sword shattered, breaking into two pieces like a brittle bamboo stalk.

"What!"

Lei Ba was stunned.

An eerie black mist swirled from the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat's body, blanketing the sky and earth as it enveloped Lei Ba.

Lei Ba felt an icy chill run through him, as if he had been plunged into the depths of a frozen lake.

Suddenly, Lei Ba remembered something. 'The Great Wilderness! The Great Wilderness! The second-ranked Fierce Beast of the East Continent!'

'But shouldn't the Great Wilderness be in the Celestial Lake Swamp? Why would it suddenly appear here?'

Lei Ba's eyes widened in shock as he looked up.

He saw that the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat had opened its massive, crimson maw, which was now descending upon him.

A bloody red filled his entire vision.

Abruptly, Lei Ba's eyes flew open, looking as if they would split from their sockets.

Just as the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat opened its massive mouth to swallow Lei Ba in one gulp,

it suddenly paused, stopped, retracted its head, and looked down.

It saw Lei Ba standing there stiffly, not moving an inch, his eyes wide as if they were about to burst from his head.

'Dead?'

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat stared blankly, then reached out a claw and poked Lei Ba.

With a THUD, Lei Ba fell backward, stiff as a board, and slammed onto the ground.

'Scared to death?'

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat stared blankly again. It leaned closer to sniff Lei Ba, only to be hit by an unbearable, nauseating stench.

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat instantly lost interest in him. It extended a claw and, with a squelch, pierced through his chest.

Then, it shook its claw in disgust.

'It has no interest in things that are already dead!'

The Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat suddenly realized its tastes were becoming more and more particular.

The black mist surged. Amidst the haze, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat's body shrank smaller and smaller, and in a few moments, it returned to its original form.

It turned its head and saw the three Fierce Beasts still prostrated on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

This time, the Golden-Eyed Treasure-Seeking Rat didn't hold back. Its pointed head suddenly enlarged, opening a gaping, bloody maw, and it swallowed all of them in one go.

Then, the rat scrambled on its four short legs and rushed back toward the camp.

「The night passed without incident.」

The next day, sunlight pierced through the darkness, shining into the lush, green ravine. Dawn had broken.

Within a tent in the ravine, Chu Guifeng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open.

'How did I sleep so deeply?'

Chu Guifeng frowned, his expression suddenly turning grave.

The Jiuli Mountain Range was fraught with danger, strange and treacherous; anything could happen. Because of this, Chu Guifeng never dared to completely let his guard down even when sleeping, only allowing himself to doze lightly.

But last night, Chu Guifeng had slept like the dead. This was highly unusual.

Just then, Chu Guifeng's nose twitched, as if he had smelled something.

He then reached out and wiped a finger across the tent. A faint, fluorescent glow appeared on his fingertip.

"This is... the pollen of an Illusory Winged Moth!"

Chu Guifeng froze, then his eyes widened in alarm. "It's Lei Luo's Fierce Beast, the Illusory Winged Moth! Lei Luo and Lei Ba are here!"

"This is bad! We've been ambushed!"

Realizing what had happened, Chu Guifeng was overcome with shock. He hastily grabbed the long spear beside him, his figure flashed, and he rushed out of the tent, roaring, "Lei Luo! Lei Ba! How dare you!"

But when he emerged and looked around, there was no sign of Lei Luo and Lei Ba. There were only a dozen or so pairs of his teammates' baffled eyes, all staring at him in unison.

"???"

"???"

"???"

Ma Wan stepped forward and looked at Chu Guifeng strangely. "Leader Chu? Where are Lei Luo and Lei Ba? Are you just being overly nervous?"

Chu Guifeng paused, turning to look around, only to find that everyone was safe and sound.

"No."

Chu Guifeng's brow remained furrowed. He walked to another tent and wiped his finger across it, revealing the same fluorescent glow. "This is the pollen from an Illusory Winged Moth, Lei Luo's Fierce Beast. They were definitely here last night."

Chu Guifeng abruptly turned to the others. "Everyone, check if anyone is missing! Check if anything has been stolen!"

Seeing how serious Chu Guifeng was, the group looked around blankly, checked their cargo, and all shook their heads.

"How could that be?"

Chu Guifeng was taken aback. The brothers Lei Luo and Lei Ba never left empty-handed, nor would they be merciful enough to spare their lives.

"Wait, Tai is gone!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

Everyone quickly looked around and, sure enough, there was no sign of Tai.

So it was true. The brothers Lei Luo and Lei Ba had appeared last night. Tai was the one on the last watch.

But why did Lei Luo and Lei Ba only go after Tai?

Chu Guifeng was puzzled once again.

Suddenly, he grew tense. "We can't stay here any longer. Let's go, quickly!"

Chu Guifeng hurriedly gave the order.

If Tai had run into the brothers Lei Luo and Lei Ba, there was no way he could have survived. Chu Guifeng had to ensure the safety of the remaining team members.

Since the Illusory Winged Moth had appeared in their camp, the brothers Lei Luo and Lei Ba had to be nearby.

Hearing this, everyone immediately got moving. Without delay, they set off again under Chu Guifeng's lead.

Soon, the group left the ravine.

But just as they emerged, they suddenly saw a corpse up ahead.

"It's! Tai!"

Someone in the team cried out in shock.

Chu Guifeng and Ma Wan immediately leaped forward to get a closer look. They saw Tai lying stiffly on the ground, a shocking wound in his chest.

"He was killed by an extremely skilled Sword Technique. It was the brothers Lei Luo and Lei Ba, just as I thought."

After examining the wound on Tai's body, Chu Guifeng immediately made his judgment.
