538: Chapter 168: Scaring You to Death with the Four Sacred Beasts (Part 1) 538: Chapter 168: Scaring You to Death with the Four Sacred Beasts (Part 1) Originally, to prevent annihilation by the Dragon Clan, the predecessor Clan Leader of the Dragon Wolf Clan swore an oath to the heavens that unless the Dragon Wolf Clan possessed the strength to contend with the Dragon Clan, they would never step outside the Frosty Forest.
His memory of this was still vivid.
As the Dragon Wolf King, he certainly hoped to lead his people back to the vast Continent, to the delicious food, fertile land, and endless expanse of freedom they all desired.
Yet, how could he possibly trust Ye Yinzhu, this human who had suddenly appeared?
At this moment, Ye Yinzhu was in no hurry.
A faint smile appeared on his face, “Did I ever say I wanted to enslave you?
From beginning to end, what I’ve been talking about is cooperation.
I simply hope to help each other with the Dragon Wolf Clan.
Your enemy is the Dragon Clan, this much I’m clear on.
Yes, I do carry the aura of the Dragon Clan on me, and you haven’t mistaken that.
However, this doesn’t prove that I am in league with the Dragon Clan.
I wonder if you recognize any of these panions of mine?
If you do, then you certainly wouldn’t think that I have any connection with the Dragon Clan.”
The Dragon Wolf King’s heart stirred and he slowly shook his head, “I do not know these three powerful individuals, but their strength is enough for our Dragon Wolf Clan to respect.”
The world of Magical Beasts is much simpler than that of humans; absolute strength will always be recognized, and this will never change.
Zi, Ming, and Glacis, with their formidable strength, made the Dragon Wolf King uneasy.
He did not dare to offend such powerful beings.
Ye Yinzhu smiled lightly, “Then allow me to introduce them to you.
In Ancient times, perhaps even before the Dragon Wolf Clan existed, the Northernmost Wilderness was ruled by the Beastman.
At that time, the Beastman didn’t have as many tribes as now but were governed by the Four Sacred Beasts.
Their enemies were the Dragon Clan.
The Beastman were inherently the enemies of the Dragon Clan; Giant dragons and the Behemoth Beast were always bitter adversaries.
This enmity is a legacy from Ancient times.
The hatred between the Four Sacred Beasts and the Giant Divine Dragon is something that time cannot erase.
This individual beside me is the foremost among the Four Sacred Beasts, inheritor of the amethyst bloodline, the Amethyst Behemoth, Zi, also my best panion.”
With a flash of purple light, Zi had already reverted to human form, his eyes exuding a faint regal air as he listened to Ye Yinzhu’s introduction.
“Amethyst Behemoth?” Even the steadfast Dragon Wolf King couldn’t help but exclaim upon hearing these four words.
Although the Dragon Wolf Clan was not familiar with the world of the Beastman, how could they have not heard of the legend of the Four Sacred Beasts?
Particularly the Amethyst Behemoth, the king among the Beastman, the strongest Divine Beast.
A rank Ten Divine Beast, unquestionably beyond the reach of rank Nine.
No wonder his strength was so formidable, leaving his people without a chance to resist.
Recalling Zi’s true form, the Dragon Wolf King believed Ye Yinzhu’s words.
What other Magical Beast could possess such a terrifying presence other than the Amethyst Behemoth?
“Then, what about these two?” The Dragon Wolf King looked somewhat flustered towards Ming and Glacis.
Ye Yinzhu calmly said, “Since the Amethyst Behemoth of the Four Sacred Beasts has appeared, how could the other three remain in obscurity?
These two are the Mountain Giant Ming and the War Behemoth Glacis.
Oh, right, I suppose you know about the supremely powerful Divine Beast at the heart of the Ice Ring within the Frosty Forest, the strongest being here.
That would be Glacis.”
The Dragon Wolf King looked at Glacis with eyes wide and muttered, “The Ice Ring King, it is actually the fearsome Ice Ring King.” At this point, his will to fight had vanished entirely, and even the Dragon Wolves around him were showing signs of fear.
They might know less about the other three Sacred Beasts, but the Ice Ring King was the most talked-about topic among the Magical Beasts of the Frosty Forest.
Who didn’t know of the Ice Ring King’s strength?
Nobody knew how many rank Nine Beasts tried to challenge his dignity, and while they weren’t alone in their attempts, none survived after entering the Ice Ring.
This tall, sturdy man in front of him was the Ice Ring King, the second-ranked War Behemoth among the Four Sacred Beasts.
Who exactly was this human?
Why were three of the Sacred Beasts guarding him, and from the looks of it, they were even taking this human as their leader?
This was simply too incredible.
Subconsciously, the Dragon Wolf King’s gaze fell upon Sura as he muttered, “Could it be, could it be that she…”
Ye Yinzhu chuckled, “Don’t misunderstand, she’s my friend, not the last of the Four Sacred Beasts, Gold Armor Forbidden Insect.”
Just when the Dragon Wolf King was feeling a bit more at ease, two golden lights shone from Ye Yinzhu’s arms.
Two sizable worms about two meters long appeared in front of him, their gold bodies almost transparent.
If there was a difference between them, it lay in the patterns on their foreheads; the one on the left, Shan, had a dark gold pattern, while the one on the right, Lei, had a silver one.
Without needing Ye Yinzhu to explain, the Dragon Wolf King understood that what appeared before him were the Gold Armor Forbidden Insects of the Four Sacred Beasts, and there were two of them.
All four Sacred Beasts appeared concurrently within the Frosty Forest, and the gaze of the Dragon Wolf King immediately turned extremely plicated.
He thought that if he were to anger the human in front of him, his tribe might very well face annihilation.
How strong were the Four Sacred Beasts?
In Ancient times, it was said that the bined strength of the Four Sacred Beasts was equivalent to half of the Northernmost Wilderness.
Although such a statement might be a bit exaggerated, there was no doubt each of the Sacred Beasts possessed the strength to rival tens of thousands of enemies.
Even if the Magical Beasts from the other seven directions of the Frosty Forest were to convene here, they would probably still be unable to contend with them.
Shan and Lei were very attached to Ye Yinzhu, ever since they had followed him, the benefits they received from Ye Yinzhu even surpassed Zi.
After all, they had always been inside Ye Yinzhu’s body, effectively a part of him.
Any enhancement to Ye Yinzhu’s strength or absorption of any energy allowed the pair to enjoy the benefits immediately.
Especially when Faran’s Ye Yinzhu had lifted the Seal binding Phil Jackson, a vast amount of Non-elemental energy, filtered through the Divine Source Magic Robe, was greedily absorbed by these two little creatures.
So although they originally had the lowest degree of evolution, they had now broken through to the level of rank Nine Beasts.
Their only issue was that these two little creatures were too fond of sleeping.
They spent every day inside Ye Yinzhu’s body, absorbing his energy to cultivate.
Considering Ye Yinzhu’s talent and the many postnatal benefits, if he were the only one cultivating, he might have already surpassed Second Rank Zi level.
It was precisely because these two little creatures had absorbed quite a bit of his energy that his cultivation was affected, but Ye Yinzhu had never minded.
Having a pitiful origin, his feelings for Shan and Lei were different from those toward Zi.
It was more of a protective affection, akin to that for his own children.
Now released by Ye Yinzhu, Shan and Lei, whose bodies were mostly posed of pure energy, did not fear the cold at all.
They crawled over to Ye Yinzhu’s side, rubbing against him, their small eyes filled with a gentle light.
However, even Zi and Ming instinctively kept a bit of distance from the Gold Armor Forbidden Insect that had reached rank Nine.
The defensive power of the Gold Armor Forbidden Insect was undoubtedly inferior, but when it came to instantaneous attacks, among the Four Sacred Beasts, the Gold Armor Forbidden Insect was the strongest.
Upon reaching adulthood at rank Ten, they could instantly unleash three Non-elemental Forbidden Curse Magic Bullets.
The instantaneous Forbidden Curses they released differed from regular ones only in that they had no attributes, being pure energy.
Such pure energy bore an incredibly strong penetrative force, capable of ignoring any interception by elemental energies.
In other words, unless the opponent’s defense was also Non-elemental, the offensive power unleashed by the Gold Armor Forbidden Insects upon reaching adulthood would disregard any defense.
Now that Shan and Lei had evolved to rank Nine, although they couldn’t pletely achieve a defense-ignoring effect, their ability to possibly unleash a Forbidden Curse instantaneously instilled fear in any Magical Beasts.
Ye Yinzhu said to the Dragon Wolf King, “They are all my partners.
You have seen their strength.
I believe, with the assistance of the Four Sacred Beasts, any Dragon City that wishes to attack your Dragon Wolf Clan will have to ask for my consent first.
I possess enough power to protect your Dragon Wolf Clan.
The cooperation I want to discuss with you involves allowing the Dragon Wolf Clan to return to the Continent, and I can even provide you with a territory.
Moreover, to protect you and your tribespeople from the Dragon Clan’s attacks.”
The Dragon Wolf King looked deeply at Ye Yinzhu and said, “What do you want to gain in return?” Under the pressure of formidable power, he had unconsciously used honorific language towards Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Yinzhu candidly replied, “I have a powerful army numbering three hundred.
They need Magical Beast partners to fight alongside them.
I dare say that each one of them is an elite among Human warriors.
They will not dishonor your tribespeople.”
The Dragon Wolf King was stunned, “Are you suggesting that I select three hundred of my tribespeople to bee Magical Beast partners for your subordinates?
Is that all?”
“That is all,” Ye Yinzhu affirmed.
The Dragon Wolf King’s heart was moved.
He knew that a contract with Magical Beasts was a mutual agreement, falling within the scope of an equal partnership.
Unless the contract explicitly stated a hierarchy, Magical Beasts and Humans would be considered equals.
In other words, his tribespeople wouldn’t be subject to enslavement.
Moreover, for high-intelligence Advanced-rank Magical Beasts like them, having a Human partner was purely beneficial, not to mention that the Human partner would also protect them.
The mere fact that Humans had a much faster rate of cultivation pared to other races had great advantages for the cultivation of their Magical Beast partners.
Even if they couldn’t jump levels, it would at least enable the Dragon Wolves to progress to the upper echelon of Seventh rank.
