Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

Chapter 92: Nine-Tailed Dragon Fox vs. Sea God Leviathan! 

How foul was the stench in the stomach space of the Cursed Demon Flower?

It depended on just how many beasts had met their demise in the bubbling black gastric fluid up to this point.

Xiao Xingyu, being human, could not withstand the corrosive nature of the poison.

Dai Lu unleashed her enchanting fox fire, forming a fiery barrier to protect Xiao Xingyu.

Medusa, however, didn't require Dai Lu's assistance; as a Calamity Serpent, she was immune to any toxic liquids, a natural gift of the Serpent Clan.

Yet, within the Cursed Demon Flower's stomach, there was not just the noxious toxic fluid but countless indescribable monsters!

In the darkness, Xiao Xingyu activated his Demon Eye, heightening his senses to the limits of his current body.

When he finally discerned the scene before him, a wave of nausea swept over him, nearly causing him to vomit the previous night's meal.

In the dense, oppressive darkness, writhing creatures resembling giant worms intertwined.

These monsters gradually fused together, taking on forms difficult to describe with words.

They had countless mouths, and their sharp fangs resembled the swords of ancient emperors' tombs.

Xiao Xingyu felt dizzy, his mind in a whirl as this fused giant monster sent him into a state of confusion.

Gradually, his vision became blurry.

Each piece of flesh, every hair, even every cell of the monster seemed to open its gaping maw!

Clinging to the last shred of rationality, Xiao Xingyu's bloodshot eyes narrowed as he hoarsely shouted, "Dragon's Breath!"

On Icefire Island.

The Navy Headquarters, a magnificent structure towering over a hundred meters, appeared like a mere toy in the shadow of the mountain-sized Cursed Demon Flower.

Thud—

Thud—

Thud—

With each movement of the Cursed Demon Flower's buds, it secreted new gastric fluid, reassembling the dead beasts to attack Xiao Xingyu.

Murong Jin dared not underestimate this enemy and cautiously asked, "Old Bai, can we handle this?"

"Once swallowed by the Cursed Demon Flower, one faces the agonies of being turned to flesh and water, with their bones stripped bare."

"Even if that dragon fox has some power, it’s unlikely..."

Before Bai Yu could finish, his words were drowned out by a thunderous explosion.

Before all the navy soldiers' eyes, the Cursed Demon Flower erupted like a long-pressured bomb!

In an instant, the Navy Headquarters was engulfed in flames, thick black smoke billowing, and the entire island trembled!

"Look! What kind of creature is that?"

"A Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"No! That monster has dragon horns growing from its head!"

"Dragon scales are sprouting from its forehead!"

At that moment, a massive fox appeared on Icefire Island.

The fox had nine tails, each tip alight with purple-gold flames.

On this fox, one could see too many traits of pure-blooded dragons!

Dragon scales, dragon horns, and those mesmerizing, formidable dragon eyes!

Murong Jin's expression was a mix of surprise and confusion.

"There really is a Nine-Tailed Dragon Fox in this world..."

Dai Lu, infused with the bloodline of pure-blooded dragons, possessed terrifying power!

With a breath of dragon fire, she blasted open the gastric wall of the Cursed Demon Flower!

"How is this possible? This fox can pierce the stomach of the Cursed Demon Flower?"

"Unreasonable, utterly unreasonable!"

Bai Yu's gaze turned icy as he muttered to himself.

"The Dragon Flame certainly packs a punch."

The fire of pure-blooded dragons is known as Dragon Flame.

This is the strongest fire in the world, without exception.

Even if the Cursed Demon Flower had an ancient bloodline, it could not withstand the burning of Dragon Flame.

Murong Jin and Bai Yu simultaneously looked up, their eyes fixated on the head of the Nine-Tailed Dragon Fox.

Xiao Xingyu, cloaked in black, stood atop the Nine-Tailed Dragon Fox's head, gazing down at the entire Navy Headquarters from a god-like perspective.

Beside him was the still-breathing Medusa.

"May I ask who you are, esteemed one?"

Murong Jin's inquiry this time was different from the first.

He sensed that the Black Robe was not affiliated with the Flame Alliance.

For a century, the Dragon Kingdom's military forces, under the leadership of Empress Shangguan Lan, had been locked in a covert battle with the Flame Alliance.

Murong Jin had faced core members of the Flame Alliance multiple times; they were somewhat familiar with each other.

But he had never encountered such a troublesome figure from the Flame Alliance.

Previously, the Nine-Tailed Fox, Dai Lu, had narrowly escaped from under Empress Shangguan Lan's nose.

At that time, Dai Lu was gravely injured, on the brink of death.

And now, just over a month later...

Everything had changed!

Dai Lu not only recovered from her injuries but had also broken through from beast emperor to beast god level.

Moreover, she had fused with the bloodline of pure-blooded dragons, becoming the first dragon fox beast in the history of beastmaster civilization!

With this, textbooks in major beastmaster academies would need to be revised to include this mysterious species.

The Black Robe, with his mysterious background, was the catalyst for all these changes.

This was the only certainty for both Murong Jin and Bai Yu.

As for what lay behind the mask?

The curiosity of the two generals was at its peak.

"If you are unwilling to reveal your identity, we’ll have no choice but to imprison you in the underwater prison for a thorough interrogation!"

Murong Jin's eyes glinted with menace as he unleashed a vast amount of spirit power.

No nine-star beastmaster was to be underestimated!

With a mighty wave beneath the sea, a colossal creature leaped from the depths!

It was a bizarre giant beast, resembling a shark but with a tail covered in countless tentacle-like appendages.

Xiao Xingyu's expression darkened.

"Sea God Leviathan."

The underwater giant beast burst forth, releasing destructive sound waves from its mouth.

Even with Dai Lu's protection, blood seeped from Xiao Xingyu's ears.

The Sea God Leviathan, a rare beast with sea god bloodline.

When it emerged from the water, its massive form delivered a strong visual impact.

The Leviathan's skin and flesh were translucent, revealing its heart, larger than the island, and bones more magnificent than mountains.

Words could not convey the shock of such a sight; only by witnessing it could one appreciate the creator’s wonders.

The Leviathan emitted another piercing sound wave, summoning a ferocious tsunami.

Dai Lu opened her mouth wide, breathing out Dragon Flame.

On both sides of Icefire Island, two beasts clashed, creating a symphony of ice and fire.

In their first encounter, they were evenly matched.

Yet, blood began to trickle from Xiao Xingyu's eyes and nose.

"Lulu, we can't afford to linger; the effect of the medicine lasts only three more minutes."

"We need to escape quickly!"

Just as Dai Lu prepared to flee, thick black vines ensnared her limbs, rendering her immobile.

On Icefire Island, although the Cursed Demon Flower had been scorched by Dragon Flame, as a plant-type beast, it felt no pain and could still unleash any combat technique.

"Ten Thousand Vines Execution!"

Bai Yu commanded, and the Cursed Demon Flower released thousands of vines.

The tips of the vines, resembling hardened ice spikes, stabbed toward Dai Lu's back.

The tsunami created by the Leviathan loomed over Dai Lu from the front.

Caught in a pincer attack, Xiao Xingyu was in deep trouble!
