C233: Holy BeastThis voice was a cry, which was crisp and ethereal, penetrating.
The white light gradually disappeared, and a small white thing floated in the air. It was as white as a puppy"s fur, only thirty centimeters long. It had a pair of large round eyes that were exceptionally bright.
It slowly landed in the magma, but it was not damaged in the slightest. Even its hair was not melted by the magma. Instead, it was as if a child was playing in the water, splas.h.i.+ng up scorching hot magma.
Suddenly, it stopped and lazily lay on the surface of the magma. It seemed to be tired from playing as it opened its little pink mouth to drink the magma.
It drank the magma that was strong enough to melt steel with just that. It had a look of enjoyment on its face and didn"t stop at all. Soon, the huge pool of magma was completely drained and its stomach became round and plump.
As it crawled out of the pond, its two front claws were like two hands hugging a round stomach, and its eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Its head tilted to the side, and when it saw Tang Zheng, it crawled over. Seeing that Tang Zheng was unconscious, it immediately patted his head with its little claws.
Tang Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and discovered that there was something white swaying in front of him. Subconsciously, he reached out and grabbed it, and that furry little claw immediately fell into Tang Zheng"s palm.
Tang Zheng was startled. What is this? Eh, it"s a puppy. His brain short-circuited. Why would there be a puppy in this cave?
However, in that instant, something else firmly occupied his mind. He remembered that he had fallen into the magma, and his body was almost completely melted, yet his body was completely unharmed. What was going on?
He subconsciously looked towards the pool and involuntarily cried out, "Ah, where"s the magma? Why is it gone?"
The pool was empty except for the bare bottom, and the lava was gone.
His brain couldn"t help but short-circuit. This was too strange.
"Zhizhi!"
Suddenly, the little guy cried out and pulled Tang Zheng back into reality. He discovered that he was still holding onto the puppy, and it was staring at him with its two fiery red eyes.
"Where did you come from?" Tang Zheng released his hand and asked.
"Zhizhi!" The little guy cried out twice, as if it was replying to his question. However, Tang Zheng"s face was at a loss, as he did not understand.
Seeing that Tang Zheng was indifferent, the little guy helplessly called out twice and then leaped onto Tang Zheng"s shoulder.
Before Tang Zheng could react, he realized that there was a small thing on his shoulder.
"What incredible speed."
Tang Zheng only saw a white silhouette flash past, its speed unparalleled. His heart thumped, this little fellow was not an ordinary puppy.
It was impossible for a puppy to suddenly appear in this stone hall, and it was even more impossible for it to appear out of thin air. There was only one possibility — it hatched out of that huge egg.
Although it was extremely strange for a small dog to hatch from the egg, Tang Zheng had already seen his own body being remodelled.
That little guy must have an extraordinary item that was related to the witch"s restriction. Now that the egg was broken, he wondered how the restriction looked like.
He could not wait to walk out, but the small house held his head tightly, not letting him fall, stretching his neck, looking around curiously.
Just as he walked into the cave, Tang Zheng heard a series of world-shaking noises, and a gust of wind blew in from the cave, causing him to stumble and almost fall to the ground.
His heart trembled, could it be that another Demonic Beasts was attacking?
Thus, he walked out of the cave entrance in quick steps. The sky was pitch black, as if there were a large amount of dark clouds covering the top of the cave.
Of course, this was not a black cloud, but a pair of enormous wings. These two wings were about ten meters wide and seemed to cover the entire sky.
However, Tang Zheng was able to recognize this enormous being at first glance — — an eagle. However, this was an extremely large eagle, and without a doubt, this eagle was a Demonic Beasts.
The Eagle Demon flapped its wings, a fierce wind blew, sand flew and stones flew, the Witch clan members fell all over the place. Then, the Eagle Demon swooped down, its huge claws grabbing onto a person.
Sou sou sou!
The lances in the witch"s hands were thrown into the air one by one as the Eagle Demon rose into the air, causing the lance"s attack to miss. It then released its claws and fell from the sky.
Seeing that, Tang Zheng extended his feet and rushed towards the man, catching him.
That person was so scared that his face turned pale. Seeing that he had been saved, he said gratefully, "Thank you, Sir Envoy."
Tang Zheng patted his shoulder as the clan elder came forward to welcome him. He was both nervous and surprised as he said, "Sir Envoy, the restrictions have been broken."
Tang Zheng was ecstatic, the giant egg had shattered and the restrictions had been removed automatically. It seemed like his guess was not wrong.
"What is this?"
"A Eagle Demon was just coming from the west. It must have came for the sacred object in the cave as well, for the time being. This Eagle Demon is very powerful, many of us are injured. "
Tang Zheng said with a dark face: "Have you seen it before?"
"No, the strength of this Eagle Demon is not inferior to the Python Dragon from a few days ago. It"s very powerful, the lord envoy ran out of Zhen Qi. You should rest first, we will deal with him." The elder advised.
How could Tang Zheng just sit there and watch? Furthermore, just now, when he woke up, he realized that his Qi was already restored to his peak state, so his fighting strength was undoubtedly at its peak.
Tang Zheng unquestionably held onto the War Soul Sword, and stood at the front of the crowd, staring at the Eagle Demon that was circling around in the sky like a tiger.
The Eagle Demon also saw Tang Zheng, but in the end, its gaze landed on the little guy.
"Squeak squeak." Suddenly, the little fellow stood up on Tang Zheng"s shoulder and bared its fangs at the Eagle Demon in the sky. It was completely fearless.
When the Eagle Demon heard the little guy"s angry shout, its pupils suddenly shrank. It actually increased its distance a little, as if it was quite afraid of the little guy.
The elder"s gaze was immediately attracted by the little fellow and he quickly asked, "Sir Envoy, what is this?"
Tang Zheng shook his head: "I don"t know the specifics, but I suspect that it was born from that huge egg."
The elder was immediately dumbstruck. He stared at the little fellow and said with incomparable excitement, "It was hatched from a sacred object. That means it"s a holy beast."
Tang Zheng was not in the mood to bother with these Holy Beasts for the time being, the most pressing matter at hand was to take care of this Eagle Demon.
"Little guy, get off my shoulder first. I"ll deal with this Demonic Beasts, otherwise, it will hurt you later." Tang Zheng patted its head and said.
The little guy squeaked in protest at Tang Zheng and refused to get off his shoulder.
Tang Zheng was helpless, he could not care about it anymore. With a tap of his feet, he climbed a huge tree that reached the sky, walked on the tree trunk as if it was flat ground, and quickly ascended. In an instant, he was already dozens of meters in the air, and the Eagle Demon was also spiralling at this height.
Tang Zheng growled, and with a leap, the War Soul Sword slashed towards the Eagle Demon.
The Eagle Demon let out a sharp cry, its sharp claws immediately grabbed towards the War Soul Sword, with a clank, sparks flew in all directions.
The War Soul Sword did not even harm its claws.
Tang Zheng"s heart thumped, this Eagle Demon was truly stronger than the Python Dragon, it actually could not hurt it.
Hu hu!
Tang Zheng flapped his wings and flew into the distance as he soared into the sky.
"Zhizhi!"
Suddenly, the little fellow cried out angrily and opened its little mouth.
Seeing that, the Eagle Demon immediately flew backwards.
Whoos.h.!.+
A streak of flame shot out from the little fellow"s mouth. Although the two were separated by more than ten meters, the flame instantly crossed the distance and arrived in front of the Eagle Demon, burning its feathers.
The Eagle Demon let out a sharp scream, its eyes were filled with fear, it stared at the little guy in anger, but the little guy flaunted his strength and waved its little claws, opened its mouth, and was about to spew fire.
The Eagle Demon hurriedly retreated, bringing along a wave of black smoke and flames, and flew into the air, escaping quickly.
This scene stunned everyone. This little guy actually injured the Eagle Demon and forced it to run away with its life. This showed just how powerful it was.
When Tang Zheng landed on the ground, he felt many pairs of hot eyes focusing on the little thing. Even he himself couldn"t help but take the little thing off his shoulder and put it in his palm.
The little guy opened its mouth again and aimed at Tang Zheng"s palm. Tang Zheng was shocked, afraid that his palm would become roasted pig"s feet.
However, it was clear that his worries were unnecessary. The little fellow didn"t spew fire, but extended its tongue, and licked and licked the palm of Tang Zheng"s hand, as if it was very close to him.
The others all surrounded him and looked at the little fellow curiously. Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ could not help but exclaim: "What a cute puppy."
However, he immediately realized that this was definitely not a puppy. A puppy did not know how to spew fire, nor would it try to force back such a powerful Eagle Demon.
"Tang Zheng, what is it?" Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ asked.
Tang Zheng shook his head and laughed bitterly, "I don"t know either." He then looked at the elder, who also looked troubled. "I don"t know what it is either, but without a doubt, it"s the sacred beast of my Shaman Tribe."
Hearing the two words "Holy Beast", the little guy nodded his head, as if he was saying that I was a Holy Beast. Then, he looked at Tang Zheng and Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ complacently, as if he was not satisfied with the definition of a small dog.
Tang Zheng looked at its naive and innocent look, and could not help but laugh. "So what if I say you are a Holy Beast? I think you really are more like a puppy. "
Suddenly, its ears perked up, and it looked into the distance with vigilance.
Seeing this, everyone"s hearts trembled, they all followed its gaze, only to see a rumbling sound coming from the west, as if a lot of things were heading towards the Sacred Grounds.
