NOVEL FROG Chapter 104: Encounter with a New Beast, the Electric Ear Rabbit!
Chapter 104: Encounter with a New Beast, the Electric Ear Rabbit!
Near the underwater volcano, the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale lay on the boiling magma, in a state of peaceful slumber.
This was a beast god-level magical creature. Its size might not rival the Ocean Leviathan under Murong Jin, but it was still quite impressive.
Occasionally, in its sleep, the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale would open its mouth, revealing sharp teeth that burned with flames.
There are few flames in the world that can burn underwater, and the Sea Dream Flame of the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale is one of them.
Daile patted Xiao Xingyu on the shoulder, giving him a meaningful look.
Xiao Xingyu was a bit apprehensive, too scared to approach.
Daile's look seemed to say: "Coward, what are you afraid of when we're here?"
Before he was ready, Daile gave Xiao Xingyu a push.
He stumbled and fell right in front of the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale, at the mouth of the underwater volcano.
This was the bottom of the sea, and Xiao Xingyu, being human, couldn't withstand the water pressure. Therefore, Daile condensed dragon flame, creating a spherical protective shield around him.
Dragon flame is one of the most unique flames in the world; it can burn even in space, defying the laws of physics.
The seabed began to tremble, and surrounding water-type magical beasts fled in panic.
The Emperor Flame Tooth Whale was about to wake up!
When it opened its eyes, it was as if two red meteors appeared in the dark depths of the sea, emitting hostility and flashing coldly.
The Emperor Flame Tooth Whale loves sleeping, and waking it up triggers severe grouchiness.
Xiao Xingyu was the culprit for waking it from its lovely dream.
With its dream shattered, the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale was furious, exuding a terrifying aura and locking its fierce gaze on Xiao Xingyu.
In the next moment, the atmosphere shifted dramatically.
The fierce and evil look in the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale's eyes vanished, and its terrifying aura receded, even showing a friendly expression.
The beast god-level magical creature now appeared cute and docile, looking a bit silly.
Xiao Xingyu was taken aback.
"Ah, I see~"
Turning around, Xiao Xingyu couldn't help but laugh.
Behind him was a massive black python over a thousand meters long.
And a fox with nine tails, burning with purple-gold dragon flame, its dragon eyes fixed on the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale.
Though both were of beast god level, Daile and Medusa's bloodline quality far surpassed that of the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale.
Especially Daile, who could instill soul-shaking fear in the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale just by releasing dragon power.
With Daile and Medusa backing him up, the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale quickly became a compliant creature, its eyes turning clear.
Xiao Xingyu mentally noted, "It's all about bloodline suppression~"
Xiao Xingyu then moved to the rear of the Emperor Flame Tooth Whale and collected a significant amount of excrement from the volcanic rock cliff.
The Emperor Flame Tooth Whale's excrement was odorless, thanks to its unique digestive system.
"Done!"
Xiao Xingyu packed the bag full of urea into his spatial ring.
For other beastmasters, the excrement of a beast god-level magical creature was useless.
But for Xiao Xingyu, it was an essential fertilizer for cultivating the Heavenly Soul Vine Beast.
Splash~
The giant python broke through the water's surface, revealing its massive head.
Xiao Xingyu rode atop Medusa's head, looking thoroughly satisfied.
Daile transformed into human form and sat beside Xiao Xingyu.
At the horizon of the sea, an orange glow appeared.
Dawn was breaking, and the sky was about to lighten.
There were about 10 hours remaining until the Supernova Competition finals began.
"Sasha, let's go!"
Medusa's true form, the Calamity Python, traversed the water at speeds surpassing the fastest battleship of the naval headquarters.
In just five hours, Xiao Xingyu returned to the southern coast of the Dragon Kingdom.
Upon reaching land, Medusa reverted to human form, and it was Daile's turn to assume beast form.
To take the shortest route back to Four Spirits City, they needed to cross the uninhabited Canglei Mountain Range.
True to its name, the Canglei Mountain Range has a peculiar climate where countless lightning strikes fall into the valleys day and night.
In the depths of the dark forest, the Nine-Tailed Dragon Fox flitted like a ghost, traversing mountains and valleys at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye.
Xiao Xingyu and the human-form Medusa rode on the back of the Nine-Tailed Dragon Fox, one in front of the other.
"Lulu, go faster!"
"Shut up, I'm going as fast as I can."
"Faster, thrilling, oh yeah!"
Daile's native tongue was silence.
Medusa covered her mouth and giggled, this cold serpent beauty had more smiles than ever since following Xiao Xingyu.
"There's a waterfall ahead, let's stop for a moment!"
At sea, fresh water was scarce, and Xiao Xingyu had been quenching his thirst with beast milk.
However, the highly nourishing beast milk, while pleasant in small amounts, becomes cloying in large quantities.
With his mouth full of the milky taste, Xiao Xingyu's throat felt sticky. Seeing the waterfall cascading from the cliff, his eyes lit up.
Jumping off the back of the Nine-Tailed Dragon Fox, Xiao Xingyu rushed to the pool beside the waterfall, scooping up clear spring water with his hands and drinking eagerly.
This was unpolluted mountain spring water, with a sweet aftertaste, and Xiao Xingyu drank to his heart's content.
"After days of recovering in the Beast Strait, I must stink. I'm taking a bath!"
Xiao Xingyu stripped off his clothes and jumped into the pool.
The waterfall overhead was akin to a showerhead in a bathroom.
"Lulu, you should come down and join me!"
"No way!"
Daile refused, her face reddening.
Xiao Xingyu turned to Medusa on the bank.
"Sasha, want to join me? I can scrub your back, and I know traditional Chinese breast massage!"
Medusa sat on a rock, a cold smile on her lips.
"Heh, I'm quite pleased with my own figure, no need for breast enhancement!"
With both Daile and Medusa refusing to join, Xiao Xingyu entertained himself alone.
The shirtless youth, under the waterfall, was soaked to the skin, his toned abs on full display.
Medusa mused, "Ah, youth is wonderful~"
Daile pursed her lips, disagreeing.
"Wonderful, my foot. This kid's full of energy and mischief. You'll be busy as his beast."
Suddenly, the sound of a magical beast's roar and heavy, hurried footsteps came from the woods beside the pool.
Whoosh~
A small shadow darted out of the woods, tracing a semicircular arc in mid-air and landing squarely on top of Xiao Xingyu's head!
"What on earth?"
Xiao Xingyu raised his hand and picked up a fluffy little creature from atop his head.
It was a rabbit, no larger than an adult's palm.
The rabbit's fur was as white as snow, and what made it special were its ears.
These ears were shaped like two lightning bolts!
"Electric Ear Rabbit?"
Man and beast stared at each other, wide-eyed.
In the woods, the roar of the magical beast drew nearer.
Xiao Xingyu closely examined the Electric Ear Rabbit in his hand. It was curled up, trembling with fear, its eyes filled with panic.
In the magical beast world, the law of the jungle still applied.
It wasn't hard for Xiao Xingyu to see that this weak Electric Ear Rabbit was fleeing from some high-level magical beasts.
For the Electric Ear Rabbit, the gentle-looking young man before it was its only lifeline.
