Chapter 48: Slaughter

  Zhong Li said, Yu Ziling naturally knew he was hesitant because of Ji Changkong. After a moment's hesitation, Yu Ziling said: "I don't need you to send me off, I'll exchange with you."

  "She has something to exchange with you, just let her exchange it with you." Ji Changkong said.

  Zhong Li Jingyixiao smiled and said, "Brother Changkong is being polite, this matter is easy to discuss."

  "Yu Ziling, you talk to them yourself, I'll take the others back to Du Long Tan first." Seeing that they couldn't find Zhao Meilan and Jia Rongfeng, Ji Changkong was helpless and couldn't continue searching aimlessly in Yun Meng Da Ze.

  Besides, the fact that he led a group of ferocious beasts to wreak havoc in Yunmeng Daze should have been spread far and wide. If Jia Rongfeng and Zhao Meilan are still in Yunmeng Daze, it's impossible for them not to know about this matter. As long as they know what's good for them, they should have left Yunmeng Daze a long time ago.

  "That's good, I'll be with them." Yu Ziling thought for a moment, leaned in close to Ji Changkong and whispered: "Be careful, once you leave the ferocious beast group, some people might make a move on you. It's best if you stay at the Poison Dragon Pool for a while longer, wait until the storm passes, then leave the Poison Dragon Pool and return to the Ji family."

  Yu Ziliang has the ability to take care of herself, even if she is separated from Zhong Lijianyi. With her strength and ruthless approach, nothing will happen to her.

  "I know what to do." Ji Changkong smiled slightly.

  "Be careful, you really can't stay with us. It's too dangerous to be with us! Who knows how many people are eyeing the things on our Flame Beast's body in the dark?" said Zhong Lijian Yi.

  He nodded, and Ji Changkong didn't say much more. He spoke in a low voice with Yu Ziling for a few sentences, then rode the Tianyi Dragon and circled around Zhong Lijianyi and the others with a group of ferocious beasts, heading towards the Dulong Pool.

  ……

  Just leaving Zhong Lijie a few miles away, suddenly, a mournful howl came from afar, and the violent yuan force fluctuation came from the direction of Zhong Lijie and others.

  Ji Changkong's face changed slightly, and after a careful sense, he immediately understood that an intense battle had broken out on Zhong Lijianyi's side.

  Those various Taoist priests who had been lurking in hiding previously, because of the existence of the ferocious beasts, did not take action against the Southern Barbarian envoys.

  Now, seeing that he has left, some people can't help but worry that something unexpected will happen again, and plan to defeat the Shannan envoy's defense at the fastest speed, grab things and leave Yunmeng Daze as soon as possible.

  Distant intense yuan force fluctuations indicate a great war is happening, void light bursts forth, and strands of eerie glow flash by.

  Ji Changkong hesitated, he and Zhong Lijie, Zhong Li Hui, Yu Zilu were just passing acquaintances, not close friends. Just now, he said he wanted to take the ferocious beasts to Du Long Tan, also didn't want to get involved in that muddy water.

  He himself didn't have enough strength to help Zhong Lijian and Yi, while the various Tian Shi lurking in the dark were extremely powerful, and it was not certain that the beast group could intimidate those people.

  Once he and the ferocious beasts join forces, those ferocious beasts like Tianyuan Winged Dragon and Three-eyed Dragon Python may suffer from unprovoked disasters. Even if they can kill some heavenly masters, these ferocious beasts probably won't be able to escape unscathed either.

  For Ji Changkong, his friendship with the fierce beasts was even deeper than that with Zhong Lijie and Zhong Li Hui, so much so that he couldn't bear to let the fierce beasts fight for Zhong Lijie and Zhong Li Hui, even if they were willing.

  After hesitating for a moment, Ji Changkong said to Tian Wing Dragon, "Let them return to the Poisonous Dragon Pool first. You and I will go take a look. If we can help, we'll help; if not, then so be it."

  Tianyao Winged Dragon is extremely powerful. As long as he and Tianyao Winged Dragon observe from a distance, and don't go all out for Zhong Lijian Yi, there shouldn't be any problems.

  In addition, Ji Changkong also wanted to see what a truly powerful Tian Shi looked like. Once they clashed, it would be a terrifying scene.

  Tianying Winged Dragon seemed to understand Ji Changkong's words and could also distinguish the situation. It nodded its head, let out a low growl towards Feitian Blood Snake, San Yan Longwang, and Jiu Tou She.

  Those ferocious beasts heard the Heaven's Winged Dragon roar, and one by one they looked longingly at the distant sky, then obediently returned to the Poisonous Dragon Pool in groups.

  "Let's go, we'll take a look back." said Ji Changkong.

  The dragon carried him flying backwards, and in just a few breaths, they arrived at the battlefield.

  ……

  Jiuyi Tiānshì drew his bow and shot an arrow, on which were attached fierce fire, frost, and a sharp gust of wind. In an instant, the arrow transformed into a shooting star, swift as a cold lightning bolt.

  The arrow fell, and a rumbling sound came from the ground. The ancient tree was set on fire, even being knocked down by one arrow.

  Brilliant rays of light shot out in all directions, the four sacred beast phantasms revealed their ferocity in mid-air, the earth rose with a vast expanse of gray dust, and one by one, the giants condensed from the five elements' earthy energy charged towards the Jiuyi envoys.

  A brilliant light ball fell into the center of the Ji Yi messenger, and after the violent beast was hit by a blast, blood splattered everywhere. It went mad and ran wildly in all directions, and was rushed up by the heavenly soldiers hiding in the dark, snatching away the packages carried on its body.

  Zhong Li Jingyi, Zhong Li Hui, and Yu Ziliang were standing next to the Central Blazing Beast. This location was spared from the encirclement and slaughter by various heavenly warriors. The ferocious heavenly warriors who came to seize it seemed to be wary of something and did not dare to make a move on Zhong Li Jingyi.

  The battle was raging like wildfire, many Southern Barbarian envoys were beheaded and some hidden heavenly warriors were also shot dead by the terrifying power contained in the bows and arrows of the Southern Barbarian envoys.

  The Tian Shi who grabbed the treasure on the Violent Flame Beast's body would immediately leave this place, and then many Tian Shi would disperse and chase after them to kill.

  As one after another of the violent beasts fell, and each package was snatched away, the pressure on the Southern Barbarian envoys actually grew lighter.

  Because the Tian Shi who snatched the treasure immediately became someone else's target, many people directly transferred their formation and chased after them to kill, trying to snatch the treasure from their hands.

  One by one, the corpses hang from the ancient trees, the heavenly soldiers' bones are gone, and their flesh is splattered everywhere. Everyone's face is twisted with cruelty, their eyes gleaming with greedy and icy ferocity, sometimes they won't even spare their companions who came with them, suddenly striking out to kill.

  This carnage is even more brutal and bloody than a group of alligators fighting over food!

  ……

  On the body of the Tianyao Winged Dragon, Ji Changkong did not lay a hand on anyone. Those fleeing Heavenly Soldiers who saw the terrifying appearance of the Tianyao Winged Dragon would also voluntarily avoid it.

  Watching the bloody and cruel battles around him, Ji Changkong's face was indifferent. He finally realized that humans were the most ferocious species in this world, and any fierce beast couldn't compare to humans in terms of cruelty and slaughter.

  Fierce beasts will not attack their own kind and absolutely will not harm their own family members.

  But they will!

  Gradually, Ji Changkong's heart became somewhat indifferent, watching the bloody slaughter of survival of the fittest continue right beside him, seeing those greedy people who had just been laughing and chatting with their companions, united against a strong enemy, but as soon as their companion obtained treasure, they would suddenly and without warning strike out with poisonous hands.

  He finally realized the horror of human nature.

  "It's really crazy, this world is not quite like what I imagined." Ji Changkong looked somewhat disheartened, as if he didn't dare to believe that human hearts could be so wicked. "It seems that I need to learn to adapt to this world!" After a long time, Ji Changkong muttered to himself, seemingly lost in thought.
