Chapter 22
Primordial Blood Throne: Book 1 Chapter 22 - Lan Ye
Edited by Owner (11/39) until we hit 50.
Every family clan would have their own restricted grounds, like Eight Corner Mountain of the Su Family. The Beast Garden was the restricted grounds of the Lin Family.
If he was to be discovered by the Lin Family in here, saying that he lost his way would not be enough to save him.
"What are you bringing me here for?" Su Chen got slightly nervous.
"Relax… they will not discover us." Gu Qing Luo continue to walk forward, "Everyday, during this time, Lan Ye wakes up."
Gu Qing Luo turned her head to glance at Su Chen and smiled. "Lan Ye's temper isn't too good, it’s bed temper is even worse. That is why the staff of the Beast Garden would always keep their distance from here during this time, in case they get unlucky."
"So you are saying that there is no one here now?" Su Chen was surprised.
"Yup." Gu Qing Luo smiled beautifully, like a flower, causing another wave of ripples within Su Chen's heart.
Gu Qing Luo continue moving forward. "Though the Beast Garden is an important place of the Lin Family, it has the weakest security. If we follow this road to its end, we will find a small path that will lead you out of the Beast Garden. Once you leave this area, you will as free as a bird. Simple, right?"
"I feel saying simple should be left till after we have reached the end of this road." Su Chen replied. "By the way, who's Lan Ye?"
"Lan Ye?" Gu Qing Luo tilted her head. "Do you want to find out?"
At this time when it was better to have one less thing to worry about, Su Chen wanted to say no, but when he saw the cheeky and cute expression on Gu Qing Luo, his interest was piqued greatly, yet he was unable to express it.
After swallowing a gulp of saliva, Su Chen replied. "Sure."
Gu Qing Luo smiled with joy. "Follow me."
They increased their speed and used Vapor Snake Step to travel, as they ran, Gu Qing Luo would constantly reminded Su Chen, saying, "Careful, there's a stone here. Careful, there's the tree roots here is concentrated…"
This sort of concern, although was no longer practical, it left a warm and sweet feeling in Su Chen's heart.
As they hurried through the journey, they quickly reached the top of a hill.
Standing at the highest point, Gu Qing Luo pointed to a far location and said, "Focus to what's infront of you and listen."
As Su Chen followed Gu Qing Luo's instruction, he looked downhill and saw a lush gra.s.s field. Within the field, were large packs of beasts, they were walking through the gra.s.s field while occasionally releasing deep noises.
"Twin-head Hyena, Greedy Ghost Wolf, Lizard Tail Turtle, Thousand Leg Centipede…… they are currently about 350 meters away from us." Gu Qing Luo was worried that Su Chen did not notice them and specially brought it to his attention.
Su Chen's face had already changed when he saw the view.
Gu Qing Luo did not lie to him. About 350 meters away, there was indeed more than hundreds of beasts over there, and all of them were Fiend Beasts.
Fiend Beasts were different from wild beasts; they possessed more power and could use Origin Energy.
If one was to say that wild beasts were Forged Body humans, then Fiend Beasts would be akin to low rank Origin Masters, possessing a powerful and terrifying strength.
In other words, in regards to the Fiend Beasts that were in front of him, any one could easily
To think that Gu Qing Luo brought them in front of this 'Fiend Beasts horde'. Did she not know the word called death?
One must know that they were currently too close to the Fiend Beasts.
Amongst the Fiend Beast, there were countless types with a sharp nose or even hearing; if any one of those found them, it would likely mean bad news.
Gu Qing Luo looked at him and only saw a slightly paled face, she mumbled. "Che, so boring. You aren't afraid because you only heard me describing it to you. If you were to see it personally, I am absolutely sure your legs would have gone weak."
Su Chen barely squeezed out a smile, "You are truly bored, trying to scare a blind man without any reason."
Gu Qing Luo laughed and pointed out ahead. "There's a pond up front, Lan Ye is over there."
Su Chen was about to speak when Gu Qing Luo placed her finger on his lips: "Sssh, Lan Ye is coming out."
As he turned his head, he saw waves rippling on the water's surface.
A whirlpool began to form within the pond, getting larger as the seconds flew by. From it, a tyrannical aura began to permeate the surroundings.
The surrounding Fiend Beasts seemed to have noticed something and quickly dispersed, running away from the pond.
As the beasts stampeded away, a gigantic body began to emerge from the pond.
It was a gigantic snake -, just its head was about the size of a house, it's two green eyes were like two large lanterns, emitting a white chilling aura.
The serpentine body kept rising out of the pond, giving the impression as though it would never end.
When the whole of the snake's body was revealed before Su Chen, it was revealed as a huge snake that spanned nearly 350 meters in length.
Such a large specimen. Despite hovering in the distance, it seemed as though it was right in front of him instead.
"Hiss!"
The huge snake released a loud hiss into the sky, its red tongue flicked in the air like a piece of red cloud.
"That is…" Su Chen stood, stunned as he stared at the snake, even forgetting to continue his blind man act.
Fortunately, Gu Qing Luo did not notice as her gaze was fixated on the huge snake and said, "It is called Lan Ye. Even if you cannot see, you should be able to feel its power, right? Its length is 356 meters long and it is still only a teenager. I was told that an adult Prancing Snake could reach lengths of 3000 meters…… it makes people wonder how spectacular the Giant Beasts and Primordial Beasts are in comparison.
"This is a demon beast?" Su Chen shook as he asked.
Demon Beast!
The nightmare of the Origin Desolate Continent, the ruling cla.s.s of the Beast Race.
If one was to compare a Fiend Beast as the Origin Masters of Humans, then Demon Beasts were the high rankers of Origin Master – the leader, the king!
As for Desolate Giant Beasts and Primordial Beast, they had been buried under the sands of time and no longer existed.
The current Beast Race belonged to the Demon Beasts.
"En, it's a Demon Beast." Gu Qing Luo replied.
"You are rearing a Demon Beast here? Aren't you worried that something might happen?" Su Chen's tone began to turn ugly.
It's a Demon Beast!
Even if it was the weakest of Demon Beast, it will still possess the ability to flatten the whole of Lin Bei City, let alone the Prancing Snake which was considered an extremely strong existence even amongst Demon Beasts.
Gu Qing Luo smiled. "Don't worry, Lan Ye would not do that. It is a Prancing Snake, the guardian beast of the Gu Family. With me around, it will not cause trouble."
As Gu Qing Luo spoke, her hand was raised.
Having just woken up with an obviously bad bed temper, the Prancing Snake was looking for a target to vent its frustrations on but when it saw Gu Qing Luo, its eyes immediately turned gentle.
It moved towards Gu Qing Luo.
With such a long body, it simply stretched itself over without moving and easily reached Gu Qing Luo, casting a side glance at Su Chen upon arrival.
"He is my friend, do not bully him, okay?" Gu Qing Luo patted the Prancing Snake's head and said.
The Prancing Snake released a chilling air of disdain from its nostrils.
Every Demon Beast possessed intelligence and could understand the human language; the difference was whether they wished to listen or not.
The Prancing Snake was obviously very considerate towards Gu Qing Luo and was willing to listen. It retracted its head and moved towards another direction.
"Prancing Snake? Guardian Beast?" Su Chen mumbled. "Is this because of the bloodline?"
"A portion." Gu Qing Luo replied: "But more because of the long period of taming and time spent together."
"Taming?" When hearing that word, Su Chen seemed to have noticed something. "This is the reason why you came to the Lin Family?"
"Yup." Gu Qing Luo nods her head: "Prancing Snakes are hard to tame by default. They also possess intelligence and were even called the demon emperors of the Demon Race since ancient times. Even with a link by blood, it would not obey anyone so easily. The Lin Family had an item that makes it very easy to tame beasts, therefore, I received a clan order to cooperate with the Lin Family to tame this Prancing Snake."
