Chapter 171 - 171 Super Divine Mountain and Gray Earth (3)
171 Super Divine Mountain and Gray Earth (3)
The guardian spirit insect continued, “They relied on their numbers of over 100 million and their excellent teamwork to release a large number of AoE magic attacks in every battle.
Even an advanced magical beast would not be able to withstand such indiscriminate magic attacks.
Lord Gray Earth’s rabbit-type magical beasts defeated a few magical beast tribes in succession and occupied the southeast hill near the Super Divine Mountain, becoming one of the major powers of the area. Even the eight great ruler magical beasts began to notice Gray Earth’s power and became cautious of it.”
Ning Shi suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, “Rabbit-type magical beasts have no intelligence at all. How did Gray Earth manage to make them cooperate in battle?”
If the rabbits had intelligence, with tens of billions of them and them knowing how to cooperate, even the gods would have to avoid the magic attacks that they released.
The guardian spirit insect replied, “I don’t know what method Gray Earth used, but it managed to produce many advanced magical beasts among the rabbits. Under the command and cooperation of these advanced magical beasts, the rabbits were able to work together.”
Hearing this, Ning Shi could no longer hide the excitement in his heart.
The more mysterious Gray Earth’s ability was, the more likely that the origin treasure was in its hands.
Gray Earth had the most inferior bloodline, that of a gray rabbit, but it had become a super magical beast in a very short amount of time. It could even help weak rabbits become advanced magical beasts. Such a mysterious magical power was very likely due to the might of an origin treasure!
Worried that the origin treasure would escape his grasp again or that the situation might change, Ning Shi decided to go meet Gray Earth and check the latter out himself.
He grabbed the elastic bunny guardian spirit insect and used the thunder escape technique to head towards the Super Divine Mountain.
The magical beast continent was extremely vast. Ning Shi had to travel for a full two hours before he reached the vicinity of the Super Divine Mountain.
Following the guardian spirit insect’s directions, Ning Shi arrived at the southeast hill.
“My Lord, Gray Earth lives in the castle on that hill.”
Ning Shi looked around and saw a tall castle built of limestone standing on a hill that was not very tall.
Although the castle wasn’t very exquisite and appeared crudely built, it could still be considered a building.
This was the first building Ning Shi had seen on the magical beast continent.
As expected, this Gray Earth was indeed different.
Ning Shi left the guardian spirit insect to its own devices while he himself transformed into an evil spirit assassin and sneaked into the castle.
It was only when he got closer that he noticed the actual size of the castle.
In order to accommodate Gray Earth’s tall body, the entire castle was hundreds of meters tall.
After entering the castle, Ning Shi found that the castle was simply built from large stones cut and stacked on top of each other. There was no construction technology to speak of at all. If he applied too much force against the stones, he was worried that the entire castle would collapse.
This was the work of magical beasts.
Although Gray Earth’s preferences had changed under the influence of the origin treasure and it wanted to live in a castle, it knew nothing of architecture. There was no one with such talents in the magical beast continent.
The castle that was built only had the appearance of one.
There were guards posted every three steps in the castle, and there were many advanced rabbit-type magical beasts standing guard and patrolling inside.
Ning Shi relied on the concealment ability of his evil spirit assassin body and walked around the castle unobstructed. He soon found Gray Earth.
It was sitting in the hall of the castle, discussing matters with the advanced rabbit-type magical beasts under its command.
“Supreme Lord Gray Earth, as per your orders, we’ve been closely monitoring the movements of many super magical beasts. Our subordinates have reported that the Two-headed Dragon on Dragon Tooth Mountain has woken up and has begun hunting in Granny Dragon Ridge.”
Upon hearing this news, Gray Earth’s face, which was covered in golden hair, revealed an excited expression.
It hammered its bulging chest muscles and declared, “I’ll go over now and kill this Two-headed Dragon! After absorbing its bloodline, I’ll become even more powerful. Even if I can’t beat the heaven-shaking demonic ape, the ape won’t be able to kill me!
That idiot, Karmus! It actually dared to threaten me and tell me not to start a war on the Super Divine Mountain!
When they ate our rabbit meat, did they consider our pain? If we don’t fight back, we’ll always be their prey!
I didn’t start the war. This is self-defense for us rabbits!”
When Gray Earth said these words, it was really sincere. It seemed that in its heart, it was indeed obsessed with the rabbits being so weak.
It was this obsession that allowed it to grow so strong in such a short amount of time.
If it didn’t have a strong will to become stronger, even with the help of an origin treasure, it wouldn’t have grown so fast.
Ning Shi was about to use the Eye of Truth on Gray Earth to check its information when the game system gave him a prompt.
[Aura of the World of Moen’s origin treasure detected on the target. Once you use the Eye of Truth, you will be detected by the target. Please use it with caution.]
[Do you want to use the Eye of Truth to check Gray Earth’s information? Yes, No.]
Ning Shi chose No.
With the system’s prompt, he had confirmed that Gray Earth was the owner of the origin treasure. As long as he killed it, he would have the chance to devour the origin treasure of the World of Moen.
Now that Ning Shi had the advantage of the enemy being in the light while he was in the shadows, he wouldn’t beat the grass and alert the rabbit.
It just so happened that Gray Earth was going to hunt the super magical beast, the Two-headed Dragon. With the Two-headed Dragon’s abilities, even if Gray Earth could win, it would not be an easy fight.
Ning Shi planned to brilliantly take advantage of their battle.
The moment Gray Earth killed the Two-headed Dragon would be the moment of its death.
The transformation between hunter and prey would happen in an instant.
