NOVEL NEXT Chapter 361: You’re Not Human
The Thunder Dragon Bear roared in anger.
"Hmph, you're the one who doesn't know how to share!! I only spent a short time inside and managed to awaken my ancestral bloodline. If you had shared this with the entire Silent Thunder Gorge, do you think we'd still be so weak?"
"Don't try to use morality to pressure me! The great one inside the secret realm said that if this were to be exposed and humans found out, their slaughter would come even faster. Do you think just because you've broken through to the 100,000-year level, you're invincible?"
The Thunder Dragon Bear snarled.
The Thunder Dragon Bear glanced at Thunder Howl and then at the four humans, his expression grave.
He couldn't trust either of them.
When Xiao Yu heard the conversation between the two spirit beasts, his face lit up with joy.
A secret realm that could awaken ancestral dragon bloodlines? Could it be the Dragon Valley I've been searching for?
It seems that the Silent Thunder Gorge's sudden appearance of two 100,000-year spirit beasts might be due to that secret realm.
This really is a stroke of luck! To think I'd run into two spirit beasts who know the location of the secret realm.
Xiao Yu quickly moved between the two 100,000-year spirit beasts.
He summoned his martial soul, and Wo Long appeared.
With the boost from Xiao Yu's seven 100,000-year spirit rings, Wo Long's body instantly grew to match the size of the two 100,000-year spirit beasts!
Xiao Yu gently flapped his dragon wings and spoke in a calm tone.
"I'll give you a chance to live. Take me to the secret realm you mentioned, and I'll spare your lives."
At this moment, as Wo Long appeared, both Thunder Howl and the Thunder Dragon Bear reacted differently.
The Thunder Dragon Bear trembled slightly, his eyes filled with awe and admiration as he looked at the Light Holy Dragon before him.
Thunder Howl, on the other hand, stared at Wo Long with a savage expression, as if looking at a delicious piece of meat.
As for Xiao Yu's words, Thunder Howl completely ignored them.
After all, he was just a mere Soul Sage, while Thunder Howl was a 100,000-year spirit beast with awakened ancestral bloodlines. Dealing with an ordinary human Soul Sage should be a piece of cake!
Even if this golden dragon had dragon blood, it was no match for him.
Moreover, Thunder Howl was extremely eager to devour the golden dragon before him. He could sense that by consuming it, his dragon bloodline might advance further, potentially leading to an even greater increase in his strength!
For a moment, as he imagined how powerful he could become, Thunder Howl's excitement became uncontrollable, and the desire to kill and conquer burned fiercely in his eyes.
Xiao Yu, of course, noticed the killing intent in Thunder Howl's eyes and spoke in a cold tone.
"It seems one of you has already made your choice. Wo Long, cripple him, then hand him over to Master!"
Roar!!
Wo Long acknowledged the command and swiftly charged toward Thunder Howl.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yu turned and walked toward the Thunder Dragon Bear.
The Thunder Dragon Bear looked at the approaching human with shock in its eyes.
Despite the human's small size, the Thunder Dragon Bear felt an overwhelming sense of power emanating from him.
Even though the Thunder Dragon Bear was much larger, it felt as if their positions were reversed.
"Who... who are you? What do you want?!"
The Thunder Dragon Bear's voice trembled as it spoke, staring at Xiao Yu, who was smaller than one of its fingers yet radiated an aura that made it feel fear and dread.
"Ah!!"
"Ah!!!! Damn it, let me go, let me go!!"
"No, how is this possible? How can this be?!"
Before long, as the Thunder Dragon Bear was still in shock, it heard Thunder Howl's screams.
The Thunder Dragon Bear turned its head in surprise and saw Thunder Howl, who had been evenly matched with it in battle, now pinned to the ground by the golden dragon, completely unable to move.
The lightning that even the Thunder Dragon Bear feared was now striking the golden dragon's body, but it seemed to have no effect, as if it were merely tickling him.
Then, to the Thunder Dragon Bear's astonishment, Thunder Howl was completely crippled by the golden dragon and tossed, barely alive, in front of the three humans.
What followed was a scene the Thunder Dragon Bear had witnessed countless times: humans killing spirit beasts and absorbing their spirit rings.
"Who... who are you people?!"
The Thunder Dragon Bear no longer had any thoughts of resistance. It stared at Xiao Yu and the golden dragon approaching it with terror in its eyes.
Even though it had issues with Thunder Howl, Thunder Howl's strength as a 100,000-year spirit beast was undeniable.
Yet, even a 100,000-year spirit beast was effortlessly handled by this human. In the eyes of this human, perhaps the Thunder Dragon Bear was nothing more than a plaything.
"Who we are isn't important. Little bear, take me to the secret realm you mentioned, and I'll spare your life!"
Xiao Yu spoke in a calm tone.
Hearing this, the Thunder Dragon Bear resisted the pressure Xiao Yu was exerting and roared in anger.
"Impossible! That's the resting place of the Beast God's lineage. How could I allow humans to set foot there?!"
"Little bear, I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell me, you'll die!"
Xiao Yu released his dragon king's aura, his vertical pupils locking onto the Thunder Dragon Bear.
In the next moment, the overwhelming dragon king's aura suppressed the Thunder Dragon Bear.
Instantly, the Thunder Dragon Bear stopped its lightning surges, like a mouse seeing a cat, and cried out in terror.
"Dragon aura... it's dragon aura! You're not human... you're not human at all! Dragon King, spare me! I'll take you to the secret realm!!"
After sensing the dragon king's aura emanating from Xiao Yu, the Thunder Dragon Bear completely submitted.
It had felt this kind of aura before, inside the secret realm.
An elder within the secret realm had once said that only the king of the dragon race could possess such an aura.
Therefore, when the Thunder Dragon Bear saw that this seemingly human figure could release the dragon king's aura, it quickly came to an important conclusion: this being was definitely not human.
When Xiao Yu heard the Thunder Dragon Bear shouting that he wasn't human, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
He wanted to retort, "You're the one who's not human," but then he remembered that the Thunder Dragon Bear was indeed not human. Unable to respond, Xiao Yu simply accepted the statement and didn't say anything more.
After subduing the Thunder Dragon Bear, Xiao Yu quickly returned to Liu Erlong's side, gave her a brief explanation, and then followed the Thunder Dragon Bear deeper into the Silent Thunder Gorge.
"Xiao Yu, I..."
