Dragon's Origin

Chapter 76: Disguised Demon Beast (Part 2)

Experts can indeed slay demon beasts, but that expert was definitely not him. Xiao Yang knew himself well enough not to be so arrogant as to think he could contend with the demon beasts within the Thousand Severance Ground.

Similarly, Xiao Yang would never think Old Liu was an expert. Calling him 'Uncle' was just a way of putting himself in a junior position to make him feel good and get him to give him more pointers; he didn't really consider him his uncle. In terms of cultivation realm, Old Liu was only one realm higher than Xiao Yang, in the middle stage of the Third Realm. He might be considered an expert in the ordinary world, but in front of the foreign affairs experts of the various major families, he wasn't even worth mentioning.

If that was the case outside, it was even more of a joke inside Worry-Free City. Which of the people in Worry-Free City hadn't climbed out of piles of corpses and seas of blood? Which one didn't have some unique skill? That's right, Old Liu himself said that there were experts who could block demon beasts running out of the Thousand Severance Ground.

Old Liu did indeed have some skill, but that wasn't a reason for Xiao Yang to believe that Old Liu was that kind of expert.

"You really think the two of us can guard this city gate?" Old Liu hadn't shown off in front of others for a long time. Now that Xiao Yang was a newcomer, he couldn't wait for Xiao Yang to be surprised in front of him a few more times.

"Then why?" Xiao Yang really wanted to know the reason. Worry-Free City was practically a trap at every step, and knowing a little more meant a little more chance of survival.

"This is what I asked for myself." Old Liu said with a smug smile, "Don't think that we can't stop the demon beasts when they really come, but it doesn't mean that there's no benefit to guarding the gate here." He glanced at Xiao Yang, his feeling of commanding the situation becoming more and more obvious, "Seeing that you're quite agreeable, I wouldn't tell anyone else at all."

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Liu!" Xiao Yang was also very sensible. The benefits weren't there yet, but a series of free compliments were thrown out, first making Old Liu happy and then revealing the secret.

"Frequently feeling the aura of these high-level demon beasts here is also a kind of tempering for people of our realm." Old Liu was indeed dizzy with Xiao Yang's praise, and he revealed the secret of his guarding the gate here without even trying to be mysterious, "Frequently under this aura and pressure, whether it's cultivation or future battles, there are considerable benefits."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang suddenly understood. Old Liu was taking advantage of the opportunity to guard the gate here to cultivate. No wonder he had heard that Old Liu was a secretive person, and that he had even killed an opponent in the Fourth Realm with his mere Third Realm cultivation. So that was it.

Having been under the suppression and threat of the demon beast's aura for a long time, ordinary Fourth Realm experts simply couldn't suppress Old Liu and wouldn't affect Old Liu's attacks in the slightest. That must be the case.

Having figured this out, Xiao Yang suddenly wasn't depressed anymore. He didn't expect that a Worry-Free City mission would not only earn money, but also have such benefits. It seemed that he would have to take on this mission more often in the future. Being suppressed by high-level demon beasts often might greatly improve his cultivation.

Sitting up straight, Xiao Yang suddenly wasn't so dejected anymore, and his chest also puffed up. He began to try to feel the faint aura coming from the Thousand Severance Ground, imagining his breakthrough one day.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, hasn't anyone ever come out of the Thousand Severance Ground?" After puffing up his chest for a while, Xiao Yang became a curious baby again, asking, "In Worry-Free City, there are always experts who can enter the Thousand Severance Ground and then return safely, right?"

"Some experts from Worry-Free City have entered before." Old Liu had been here for a long time and knew a lot. He shook his head and said, "But they only went in a little bit and then came out, not daring to go deep at all. You know what kind of place the Thousand Severance Ground is. If it were you, would you go in and闯 (chuǎng: brave, venture)?"

Xiao Yang shook his head directly like a rattle drum, "How could I? I haven't lived enough yet!"

"That's right!" Old Liu said with a smile, "Think about it, how stupid would someone have to be to enter the Thousand Severance Ground? How blessed would someone have to be to walk out of the Thousand Severance Ground?"

Old Liu was getting excited, not noticing Xiao Yang's expression at the moment. He had his back to the city gate, only feeling the aura, and didn't need to actually guard the gate. No one had appeared here for years, and no one would walk down from the mountains. What was there to guard?

Xiao Yang's face was now full of shock, his eyes staring straight at the direction of the Thousand Severance Ground's mountains and forests, his eyes wide open as if he had seen something incredible, his mouth wide open, too shocked to say a word.

"Rea...really...no one...will come out...of the Thousand Severance Ground? Unc...Uncle Liu?" Xiao Yang suddenly became a stutterer, looking in that direction, almost like an idiot, and asked Old Liu the same question again.

"Of course!" Old Liu hadn't realized anything yet, after all, he hadn't noticed any changes in the aura over there, so he didn't think there would be any problems, and just casually replied, "If someone really appears, then it must be a powerful demon beast disguised as a human. Just send out a warning."

"Disguised...as a human?" Xiao Yang suddenly shivered, and his speech became fluent. Without saying anything, he rushed straight to the long rope hanging down at the city gate, desperately pulling it wildly.

Dang dang dang, a series of bells rang urgently, and the entire Worry-Free City was almost instantly awakened. One by one, experts suddenly jumped out of the seemingly deserted houses in the city, and after distinguishing the direction of the bell, they rushed towards the giant wall.

Old Liu had been frightened silly by Xiao Yang's actions. He hadn't noticed the aura of any powerful demon beasts. Why did Xiao Yang suddenly pull the alarm? False reporting of military intelligence was a serious crime. Did Xiao Yang not want to live anymore?

Subconsciously turning his head to look, Old Liu was directly stunned in place. In the direction of the Thousand Severance Ground's mountains and forests, where he had just said with certainty that no one could come out, a figure was walking out. The figure seemed to be carrying a thigh of some unknown demon beast on his shoulder, and was walking towards the Worry-Free City gate.

"Run! Uncle Liu!" Xiao Yang was still not bad. After pulling the alarm, he didn't forget to pull Old Liu to escape. He grabbed Old Liu and dragged him into the city gate, "A powerful demon beast disguised as a human, run!"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

In the situation where Old Liu was shocked and wouldn't move, Xiao Yang forcibly pulled Old Liu into the city gate, and then one after another, the city gates began to fall, completely isolating the demon beast outside the giant wall.

At this time, the experts of Worry-Free City had been alarmed by the alarm, and a few who lived close and moved quickly had already rushed onto the city wall. Some impatient ones were already yelling loudly at the several guards on the city wall who were also responsible for vigilance: "What demon beast? What demon beast?"

A Worry-Free City soldier guarding the city wall was like a stone statue, pointing in the direction of the figure, opening his mouth, unable to say a word for a long time.
