Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Although the five of them ran for their lives, the Flame Lion, being a creature that lived in the great forest, was far faster than them.

For some reason, Wang Jinxi turned back halfway through the run.

"Old Wang! At a time like this, don't look back, run!" Xie Xie shouted at Wang Jinxi.

Wang Jinxi wasn't good at speed to begin with, and he quickly ran out of steam.

"I can't take it anymore! I'll share my spiritual power with you all, I...I..."

"Don't breathe so heavily at times like this!"

"I'm leaving now! Bye-bye!"

As a result, Wang Jinxi clasped his fists together and immediately activated the rescue signal device. After a flash of white light, he disappeared from the spot.

Wang Jinxi disappeared, and the unabsorbed spiritual energy on his body was automatically transferred to the other four. At the same time, the target of the Flame Lion pack automatically became Gu Yue, who was running second to last.

"I don't think they can run for long. I'll hold them off for a bit, you guys run!"

After saying that, Gu Yue instantly unleashed the strongest soul power fusion she could currently achieve, and a powerful ice storm swept around.

"Goodbye, Sister Gu Yue, we're off now!" Knowing that Gu Yue would be alright, Xie Xie said goodbye and then led Tang Wulin and Zhang Yangzi on their escape.

After Gu Yue left the Spirit Ascension Platform, whether intentionally or not, the spiritual power that flew out of her body was evenly distributed to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.

Zhang Yangzi was greatly puzzled, "Wait, why is Gu Yue's spiritual power only flowing towards the two of you?"

"Maybe it's because I'm more handsome," Xie Xie joked.

But Tang Wulin wasn't in the mood for that. Relying on his superhuman strength and recoil, he charged forward recklessly, shouting, "I don't know! Let's run! They'll catch up again soon!"

As Zhang Yangzi was running, his eyes suddenly lit up and a light bulb flashed above his head.

"Hey, Captain! I have a great idea, would you like to hear it?"

Tang Wulin said speechlessly, "At a time like this, stop being so mysterious and just tell me!"

Zhang Yangzi pursed his lips.

Seriously, Brother Xie still has the nerve to tease me. I'll keep you in suspense, you won't say anything but he'll talk about me, you hypocritical captain.

Despite thinking this way, Zhang Yangzi honestly revealed his plan.

“There are also soul beasts in the sky. I’ll go lure them down and let them fight each other. I haven’t contributed much to the team in this exam, so I’ll just buy you some time.”

"No, it's too dangerous," Tang Wulin refused outright.

Zhang Yangzi chuckled, "This is the Spirit Ascension Platform. There's no real danger here. At worst, I'll just get killed and go back trembling for a few days."

"So, Captain, I'm off!"

After saying that, Zhang Yangzi spread his wings and with a sudden flap, soared into the treetop.

As soon as he reached high altitude, he was surprised to see a dense swarm of flying soul beasts hovering in the air, and he had no idea what they were doing.

"Huh, what's this?"

Zhang Yangzi suddenly saw a large nest on the top of a tree not far away, containing several pitch-black eggs.

Chapter 81 Xie Xie: Watch me play the sweetheart and trick them!

These eggs are huge, almost all of them are half a person tall.

Zhang Yangzi's eyes lit up. He quickly picked up an egg, raised it high above his head, and then suddenly flapped his wings, releasing his second soul skill, Eagle Soaring Through the Sky.

With a burst of soul power, he propelled his body directly into the air.

"Hey, whose egg is this? Come and claim it!" Zhang Yangzi shouted.

The flying spirit beasts in the nearby air were almost simultaneously drawn to the human who had suddenly taken flight. Then, one of the large black spirit beasts let out an angry roar.

Oh, it's a seasoned veteran!

This enormous black soul beast was the same one that knocked Zhang Yangzi out of the competition when he first entered the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Seeing this, Zhang Yangzi was even happier.

Some grudges, though perhaps not left unresolved, are simply not settled yet.

"So, the baby I'm holding is yours?" Zhang Yangzi said with a sly grin. "Want your baby? You'd better hurry, or your baby egg will turn into a steamed egg!"

Then, he threw the egg in his hand directly towards the group of fire lion demons.

"Go away!"

The giant egg, half a person's height, plummeted with soul power, tracing a graceful arc in the air before crashing directly into the group of fire lion demons on the ground.

Mission accomplished, Zhang Yangzi quickly snapped a picture of the rescue signal device.

With a flash of light, Zhang Yangzi vanished into thin air, and more than ten enormous flying soul beasts instantly pounced on the spot where he had just been standing.

Soon, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin heard the roar of the Flame Demon Lion and the cries of birds behind them.

The two exchanged a glance, and immediately understood.

Xie Xie had just breathed a sigh of relief when the little creature perched on his left shoulder suddenly let out a low, wary growl.

The next moment, a sudden sense of crisis made his scalp tingle, and he threw the Shadow Dragon Blade backward, disappearing from his spot in an instant.

Just as Xie Xie's figure disappeared, a dark golden light flashed and vanished.

Tang Wulin felt the same way. Before he could even think, he flung out a Blue Silver Grass with his left hand, grabbed a large tree, and forcibly changed the direction of his forward-moving body.

Another flash of dark gold.

A piercing shriek echoed through the air he had just passed through, and three faint black streaks of torn air remained in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure appeared in their line of sight.

The figure was extremely burly, covered in thick, dark gold fur, with strong limbs braced on the ground, every inch of muscle exuding a crushing, violent power.

Its pair of scarlet beast eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.

The incredibly sharp claws gleamed with a chilling light, and with the slightest movement of the claw tips, they easily sliced ​​through the surrounding air.

It's a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

The dark gold dinosaur in front of me looks only three meters tall and is probably still a minor, but it has at least a hundred years of cultivation.

Don't underestimate the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear just because it has only a hundred years of cultivation. Even if that group of Flame Demon Lions came, they would only be able to wag their tails and beg for mercy in front of it.

"Tang Wulin!" Xie Xie's expression changed drastically, his voice urgent, without the slightest hesitation.

"Immediately press the rescue signal button and exit the Ascension Platform!"

Tang Wulin suddenly turned to look at Xie Xie: "And what about you?"

"Me?" Xie Xie's lips curled into a slight smile. "Watch me... I'll trick them with a sweet act!"

Tang Wulin opened his mouth, but then seemed to remember something and took a picture of the rescue signal device.

With a flash of white light, Tang Wulin's figure disappeared from the spot, and the spiritual power that had not yet been fully absorbed attached itself to Xie Xie.

The moment Xie Xie received the spiritual power, a powerful and domineering soul force erupted from his dantian, surging wildly into his limbs and bones, causing his soul force to suddenly surge violently.

The light of the spirit ring beneath Xie Xie's feet suddenly surged, the air around him churned wildly, and his spirit power fluctuations soared at a visible speed, his aura rising steadily.

The light sprite on the shoulder trembled in surprise at the sudden surge of power, then let out a soft, joyful groan.

However, Xie Xie frowned slightly, his hands clenched tightly, and his fingertips turned bluish-white.

With his extraordinary control over his soul power, he gradually gathered and suppressed the surging air around him, forcefully pushing his rising momentum back into his body.

The originally dazzling and soaring light of the soul ring gradually subsided and returned to stability. The restless soul power around him also slowly calmed down, and he looked exactly the same as usual.

After doing all this, Xie Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the observation room outside the Ascension Platform, everyone's eyes were fixed on the enormous, terrifyingly powerful Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

After all, the appearance of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a century of cultivation here was enough to stir everyone's nerves.

Only Wu Changkong remained silent, her gaze fixed on Xie Xie. She had keenly observed the sudden surge and drop in soul power just moments before.

Wu Changkong narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes slightly, a glint of light flashing in them.

Meanwhile, inside the Ascension Platform—

A lion's roar suddenly rang out from behind Xie Xie.

Having resolved the trouble that had fallen from the sky, the Flame Lion Pack charged toward Xie Xie, led by the male lion.

Xie Xie's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Hearing the approaching heatwave and lion's roar behind him, and looking at the dark gold dinosaur bear poised to pounce, he instantly made a decision.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Xie's soul power suddenly erupted from his feet, and his figure shifted to the side like a ghost.

At the same time, he raised his hand and swung out a sharp Shadow Dragon Blade, which precisely grazed the neck of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Although the Shadow Dragon Blade failed to pierce the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's thick fur, it did leave a shallow bloodstain on its skin, completely igniting the beast's rage.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared furiously to the sky, its thick hind legs slamming into the ground as it charged forward with ferocious momentum.

Its speed is completely disproportionate to its enormous size; it barely makes a sound when it runs.

The thousand-year-old Flame Lion, its entire body ablaze with light and its imposing aura, seemed to have triggered something the moment it saw the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear while charging forward.

It exerts force with all four limbs at the same time, making a sudden braking motion.

Immediately afterwards, all the flames on its body went out, and the bristling mane on its head instantly became soft and slid down.

The Thousand-Year Flame Lion did not flee immediately, but instead tucked its tail between its legs and lay prostrate on the ground, making a "woofing" sound.

The same was true for its harem; all the flames of the Flame Lions were extinguished.

They lay prostrate on the ground, making the same wagging-tail-begging sounds.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear didn't even glance at them, its cold gaze sweeping over them before landing directly on Xie Xie.

Xie Xie had anticipated this situation.

With a flash of golden light, he appeared above the pack of Flame Lions, and a bottle filled with red liquid was smashed into the center of the pack.

boom--!

With a sharp crack, the glass bottle smashed to the ground and shattered instantly.

Thick red liquid seeped out, and a strong and provocative aura of violence instantly spread among the flaming lion pack.

Chapter 82: Battle Against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

The once docile and prostrate Flame Lions suddenly became agitated, with hideous blood vessels rapidly climbing up their eyes, turning them completely crimson, and a violent roar instantly bursting from their throats.

At this moment, they completely forgot their fear of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the flames that had been extinguished around them blazed up again, their manes standing on end.

They all stood up in unison and charged madly at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear without regard for anything else.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

It clearly did not expect that these ants, who had always been afraid of it, would dare to take the initiative to provoke it.

But this surprise was fleeting, replaced by even greater rage and disdain.

It roared to the sky, its body exuding a violent aura, and head-on confronted the charging pack of fiery lions without flinching.

In an instant, the roar of beasts shook the heavens, flames and sharp claws intertwined, and their massive bodies slammed together, causing the entire ground to tremble. A chaotic battle was about to break out.

Xie Xie landed silently on a hidden tree branch high up, his soul power shifting slightly as he instantly transformed.

His black hair hung down freely, his eyes were tinged with a bloodthirsty crimson, and the Light Dragon Blade in his hand had transformed into the Shadow Dragon Blade. He completely concealed his aura and was perfectly hidden in the shade of the trees.

He crouched on the tree trunk, quietly watching the fierce battle below, a sly glint in his eyes.

Yes, yes, that's it! Let's fight! The worse the fight, the better!

This battle, where the odds were heavily against each other, did not last long. In the end, the 100-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's combat power overwhelmed everyone.
