Zhu Chen led Huo Ling'er at breakneck speed and soon arrived at the cave where the wolf god's egg was hidden.

Outside the cave sits a nine-headed lion and a winged bird-man.

The two squatted outside the cave, whispering to each other, seemingly discussing how to get inside.

As Zhu Chen and Huo Ling'er landed, the nine-headed lion and the Feather King immediately turned around and looked over.

"So you're two humans. Do you also want a piece of the pie?"

When the nine-headed lion saw that the newcomers were two humans, a disdainful smile crept onto its lips.

There are rules within the Hundred Broken Mountains that prohibit all races from entering; they can only use their Cave Heaven Realm cultivation level.

Among all races, humans have the weakest physical strength.

In places where cultivation is restricted, the strength of one's physical body often determines one's combat power.

It didn't even consider the mere human race a threat.

"Brother Lion, that young man looks kind of familiar..."

Yu Wang stared intently at Zhu Chen, his brows furrowing slightly.

The more he looked at the human boy, the more familiar he seemed. He couldn't place where he had seen him before, but he couldn't remember where.

"Oh? Do you know these two humans, brother? If you do, then I can let them off the hook..."

Upon hearing the Feather King's words, the nine-headed lion slightly softened the disdainful expression on its face.

Although he, like other ancient races, looked down on humans, he was a lion who valued loyalty and righteousness.

This Feather King was a friend he had just made. If those two humans were each other's friends, then they were also his friends, and he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them.

"I don't know them, they just look a bit familiar."

Yu Wang rested his chin on his hand and continued to gaze at Zhu Chen, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he were recalling something.

Upon hearing that the Feather King did not recognize the two humans, the Nine-Headed Lion's lips immediately curled into a smile.

“Brother Yu, young humans all look pretty much the same. I’m sure you’ve mistaken someone for someone else.”

As it spoke, it turned the gaze of its nine heads onto Zhu Chen: "This human youth has a good temperament, just as imposing as me. Hey~, human youth, would you be willing to become my nine-headed lion's war servant? If you are, I'll protect you from now on..."

"Not interested in."

Zhu Chen spoke calmly.

He knew about the nine-headed lion; it was Shi Hao's brother in the original story. He was a fairly righteous person, but like Lin Dong, he wasn't very bright.

As they were talking, Zhu Chen had already led Huo Ling'er to the entrance of the cave.

"This is outrageous! How dare you ignore me..."

Seeing that the two humans ignored him, the nine-headed lion was so angry that his mane stood on end.

"--boom!"

It slammed its palm forward, and as the ground shattered, a powerful aura surged out of its body like waves.

"The Lion's Mark of Fearlessness..."

"I remembered!"

At this moment, the Feather King's expression suddenly changed, and he loudly reminded the Nine-Headed Lion, "Brother Lion, he is Zhu Chen from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, the young human supreme being who killed a Venerable while only at the Inscription Realm..."

"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The nine-headed lion froze, and quickly withdrew the Fearless Lion Seal that it was only halfway through casting.

"--boom!"

There was a loud bang.

A cloud of thick smoke suddenly exploded in front of the nine-headed lion, sending its massive body flying hundreds of meters away.

This is the backlash from forcibly retracting the precious technique. "Brother Lion, this Zhu Chen is no simple man. You stay here and play with him slowly. I'm leaving now..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Feather King immediately flapped his wings and fled from the place at top speed, abandoning even the treasures inside the cave.

This human dared to kill even a high-level sect like the Immortal Mountain and River Patching Heaven Sect; it was someone it couldn't afford to offend.

"Why did this guy just run away like that? Didn't we just agree to stick together through thick and thin?"

The Nine-Headed Lion withdrew its gaze from the Feather King, then took a deep breath, stared at Zhu Chen with its nine large eyes, and said with feigned composure, "Human youth, I have heard of your deeds. A young supreme being like you is qualified to be my friend, the Nine-Headed Lion!"

"You should go back and wash up and go to bed."

Zhu Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Because he still had to get to the Treasure Sharing Cliff, he ignored the silly lion and turned to take Huo Ling'er into the cave.

"He actually told me to go back and take a shower..."

The nine-headed lion blinked and murmured, "Could it be that he wants me to go back and bathe and change clothes, and then become sworn brothers with him after I'm clean? Yes, that must be it. I remember that humans like to bathe and change clothes when performing certain special rituals. It seems that this human boy must be captivated by my handsome appearance and wants to become my brother..."

The nine-headed lion, who had misunderstood the situation, became more and more moved the more he thought about it.

The human youth named Zhu Chen has recently become incredibly famous in the eight regions of the lower realm.

If you can become sworn brothers with the other party, then you can also benefit from their good fortune.

From now on, who would dare to disrespect the nine-headed lion when they go out?

"-Bang bang bang!"

Just as the nine-headed lion was lost in his fantasies, a sudden noise came from inside the cave.

"Oh no! My brother must be in danger! Don't be afraid, brother, I'm coming to save you..."

The nine-headed lion charged into the cave and then ran wildly along a rocky path inside the cave, quickly arriving at the depths of the cave.

Along the way, it saw many direwolf carcasses.

All of these dire wolves were killed with a single punch, and each of them had a deep, indented fist mark on its body.

Seeing this, the nine-headed lion became even more excited.

I never imagined my brother had such strong physical strength.

Even such a terrifying, monstrous beast can be killed with a punch!
"—Whoosh!"

Just then, a piece of animal hide suddenly sped out from the deepest part of the cave, flying straight out of the cave at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The nine-headed lion saw Zhu Chen and the other human girl on the animal skin, and the human girl was holding a golden egg in her arms.

"What's going on? Why is there an egg in that human girl's arms? Did they just enter this cave to find a place to lay their eggs? But aren't humans all born viviparous?"

The nine-headed lion tilted its head to the side.

However, before it could figure this out, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from deep within the cave.

The nine-headed lion looked up and saw a large pack of red-eyed ice wolves rushing towards it from the dark shadows ahead.

"How could there be so many ancient and strange creatures in this cave?"

The nine-headed lion took off running.

However, after running a short distance, it immediately stopped, pawing the ground with all four paws.

"No, Brother Zhu Chen was able to kill these alien ice wolves with his bare hands, so it's impossible for him to be chased by them. He must be testing me. Yes, that's right, he must be testing me to see my strength..."

"In that case, let him see the might of my nine-headed lion!"

The nine-headed lion suddenly turned its head, braced itself on the ground with both paws, and its aura surged out once again like a raging spring!

"Fearless, Lion's Mark!"
