Chapter 1239: Shining Lion’s Teeth
“You… are not a rat citizen!”
Platinum Embrace’s became brighter and brighter. He finally knew where the incongruity he felt the moment he met Meng Chao came from.
The person in front of him was definitely not a rebel rat soldier.
It was not because of his fighting strength that killed tigers and wolves.
It was because of his calm and composed att.i.tude.
After all, because the rat people had been oppressed by the n.o.bles for a thousand years, even the outstanding figures of the rat people’s rebel army were brave enough to face the warriors of the clan who were wearing totem armor and launch an attack, when they saw the high-ranking lion n.o.bles such as Platinum Embrace, they could not help but reveal a mixture of hatred, anger, and inferiority. It was extremely difficult to describe their emotions clearly.
They would either project all the humiliations they had suffered in the past onto their enemies and vent their joy of “You have what you have today.”.
Or, they would appear to be in a dilemma because they wanted to gain the recognition of a big shot but did not dare to admit it.
However, platinum embrace did not feel any emotions on either side of Meng Chao.
It was as if Meng Chao had not put any personal emotions into this game from the very beginning.
Instead, he treated the platinum embrace, the Horn of destruction, the blade of fury, Hu Lang, ka.n.u.s, and even himself as a trump card, a chess piece, and a chip.
This was definitely not the realm that the rat people rebels should be in.
Even the ‘Platinum embrace’himself could not maintain his calm after falling into a complicated conspiracy.
For some strange reason, the ‘platinum embrace’actually thought that the self-proclaimed rat people rebel army in front of him could actually utter such words, the mysterious person who said ‘Swift as fierce thunder, so fast that one could not cover one’s ears in time and would already be right in front of one’s face’in the ancient Turan language was the same kind of person as the ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s.
They were both chess players.
They were chess players who used the vast and boundless land as a chessboard, the mountains, rivers, and the Jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, snakes, rats, and ants living in the mountains and rivers as chess pieces, and they were players who used the future as a stake.
Therefore, this mysterious man was able to see through all the schemes of ka.n.u.s the Jackal.
Since that was the case, since he had already seen through the schemes of ka.n.u.s the Jackal, he must have a way to stop this ghoul dog. Yes, there must be a way!
The gaze of the ‘Platinum Embrace’at Meng Chao kept changing. In the end, it turned into an eagerness as if it was grasping at a life-saving straw.
Meng Chao pondered for a moment.
He also knew that it was impossible for an ordinary rat rebel army to give such a long and orderly speech just now.
Besides, the high-level orcs really valued bloodlines and glory too much.
If he insisted on being a rat rebel army, the ‘Platinum Embrace’would not be able to let go of his last concern and cooperate with him sincerely.
“That’s right. I am indeed not a rat person.”
Meng Chao said, “It is too complicated to explain my real ident.i.ty. It has nothing to do with the current situation. There is no need to mention it.
“I can only a.s.sure you that, with my ident.i.ty, even if I enter the temple of the sacred mountain, I will not tarnish the honor of the ancestors of Tulan. I don’t think that I will trigger their curse.”
Meng Chao felt that he was not lying.
The so-called ‘Temple of the sacred mountain’was nothing more than an Archean relic.
Which of the two Archean relics in Dragon City had he not been to?
In the No. 2 Archean relic in the depths of the hidden fog absolute domain, he had even chatted and laughed with the surviving organizations of the ‘mother’.
Moreover, he was the descendant of a transmigrator who had descended from the sky across billions of stars, and he was also the descendant of a dragon!
Naturally, he could go wherever the lion and Tigermen could go!
“Are you willing to help the Lion Clan?”Meng Chao asked
The platinum embrace had no other choice to begin with, and at this moment, he was even more convinced of Meng Chao.
His face lit up, and he looked as if he was about to pounce on Meng Chao and hug him.
“I don’t have any special preference for the Lion clan and the Tiger clan, and I can’t guarantee that I’ll stand on the side of the Horn of destruction to deal with the violent blade under any circ.u.mstances.”Meng Chao said calmly
Meng Chao Thought for a moment and said frankly, “However, I don’t wish to see ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s obtain the inheritance of the sacred mountain and become the Master of tulanze.
“If I can enter the sacred mountain, I’ll Stop ‘Jackal’Ka.n.u.s at all costs!”
Such a promise did not meet the expectations of the platinum embrace.
However, it was more trustworthy.
The platinum embrace closed its eyes and listened to the sound of its heart becoming weaker and weaker. It would only make a “Beep”sound once every few breaths. Finally, it began to think.
There was no need for this mysterious person to lie to it.
The platinum embrace quickly came to the conclusion that Meng Chao could not be a spy sent by ca.n.u.s the Jackal.
That was because when he escaped from Crimson Gold City, the violent blade had basically taken control of the situation.
If the Tiger King really wanted to harm the Lion King, he could have sent a much larger exploration team deep into the sacred mountain to chase after the Lion King.
With the power of ca.n.u.s the Jackal,.
The Lion King would definitely die.
There was really no need to arrange such an unnecessary show.
In that case, this mysterious expert who did not seem to have the characteristics of a strong clan but was surrounded by visible flames of war and had vaguely reached the “Battle group level”had really received the blessing of the ancestral spirit.., was he here to save the Lion clan and even the entire gold clan?
Thinking of this, the “Platinum embrace”took a deep breath and used the last of its strength to pull down a pendant that was connected to a leather rope from its neck.
This was a string of beast teeth of various sizes.
It was either from a totem beast or a powerhouse among high-level beastmen.
Each tooth contained a tiny amount of metal and crystal components. It appeared to be crystal clear and glistening, as dangerous as the sharpest dagger.
Relying on the natural patterns of the beast teeth, dense patterns and runes were engraved on it. In between the square inch, it drew a lifelike scene of a warrior fighting a fierce beast.
The pupils of the ‘Platinum Embrace’began to dilate.
Gradually, the thing in front of him could not be seen clearly.
However, he still skillfully fumbled for the third animal tooth on the left side. He twisted it off the metal base, rolled it in his palm, and then clenched it tightly.
The ‘Platinum Embrace’muttered something.
The right arm that was holding the animal tooth trembled slightly.
The remaining blood in his body seemed to flow toward the end of his right arm as he chanted a mysterious spell.
A few thick blood vessels protruded from his shriveled wrist that looked like it was covered in tree bark.
And within these blood vessels that were interlaced with each other, green, orange, red, and blue… colorful lights were emitted.
It was as if other than the blood that flowed through the blood vessels, there was also the totem power that was barely condensed after the ‘Platinum Embrace’burned the last of its life.
The life force of this lion clan powerhouse was flowing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the metal display in its chest, the little green dot that was originally languid and would only disappear once after a long time seemed to have been whipped by the grim reaper, increasing the frequency of its flashing and disappearing.
Soon, there were only ten, seven, five, and three little green dots left.
Besides the tight right fist, the flesh and blood of the platinum embrace seemed to have been wrapped, covered, and sucked dry by an invisible octopus. It was accompanied by a sound that made one’s scalp go numb, a hunchbacked skeleton shriveled up from the burly man.
This skeleton was so shriveled that it was dehydrated.
Only two bloodshot eyeb.a.l.l.s were left. They were like charcoal b.a.l.l.s that were unwilling to be extinguished in the ashes, still shining with a stubborn flame.
He stretched out his hand toward Meng Chao and opened his palm.
The animal tooth in his palm was already filled with a mysterious energy. It was like it was carved out of a luminous stone, and it emitted a dangerous light.
The enraged lion warrior that was carved on the animal tooth seemed to have been given a strong life force as well. It was shaking its head and wagging its tail as it brandished its saber and shield, emitting a soul-stirring roar.
“Looks like… I can only choose… to take a gamble…”
The Platinum Embrace said intermittently, “Give this lion tooth to… the horn of destruction… everything that I want to report to him… is contained within it… and my promise… as long as I can help him obtain the Holy Mountain’s legacy… all of you… will be able to obtain what all of You Want…”
The platinum embrace didn’t manage to finish his last words.
His eyeb.a.l.l.s suddenly froze.
Two gray spots the size of needle tips appeared in the depths of his scarlet eyeb.a.l.l.s.
The gray spots quickly turned into wildfire and waves, breaking through the boundary between the eyeb.a.l.l.s and the eye sockets. They spread rapidly from head to toe.
In the blink of an eye, “Platinum embrace”had turned into a gray-white statue.
His palm, which was held horizontally in the air, could no longer support the weight of the shining lion’s teeth. It collapsed and fell apart with a bang, turning into an extremely fine pile of ashes.
Then, his entire body fell back and shattered on the ground, turning into a blurry human figure made of Ashes.
The long spear in his chest, the metal cylinder implanted next to his heart, and the totem armor that had converged into a round metal ball were all scattered in the dust.
“…”
Meng Chao had seen countless strange scenes of human bodies spontaneously combusting.
Whether it was in Dragon City, the bandits who overdosed on the G.o.d transformation capsule, or the a.s.sa.s.sins who were remotely controlled by ca.n.u.s the other day.
When the power they activated far exceeded their potential, it was possible for them to ignite the strange fire in the depths of their cells. From the inside to the outside, smoke would rise from their seven orifices and burn their own flesh and blood.
However, it had never been as fast and violent as this. The whole process of spontaneous combustion only lasted for less than half a second.
It had also never been so strange. Not even the slightest bit of smoke and open fire could be seen.
It had never been so thorough. In the fine sand-like ashes, not even half of the black bones could be found.
It was as if this lump of metal implanted in his heart contained technology far beyond Meng Chao and the people of Earth’s imagination. It had actually squeezed out every drop of power in the depths of every cell in the body of the platinum embrace, only when there was nothing to squeeze out did it send him into the abyss of death.
This kind of technology that utilized the life force of carbon-based intelligent creatures to the extreme could not help but make Meng Chao click his tongue in wonder, and his hair stood on end..
