The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Grahh!" The beasts howled in madness as they became faster. They were stomping the land and left cracks all around it. With their weight along with their numbers, it was obvious that wherever they passed by would be a void of nothingness.

"Activate the formation!" Woodrain Ancient commanded. Soon, all of those behind him began chanting some words related to dao.

"Weng!" Soon, a giant gold barrier appeared in front of Woodrain Ancient. It towered to the sky as if it was endless.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" It didn't end there. Five large energy balls suddenly appeared. Each of the ball was as as big as the spirit ball created by G**u, however, this energy ball was stronger in a sense.

"Accept your deaths, ants." Woodrain Ancient scowled. He was looking vicious enough as if he was about to eat the whole horde of beasts.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" After which, the five energy balls shot out a beam of light towards the incoming beasts with a great momentum.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Soon, large explosions were made as soon as the beam of lights attacked the beasts.

Thousands of cries could be heard as the beasts tried to protect themselves but it was futile. Blood painted the surroundings black-red accompanying the tragic howls and cries of the beasts.

In a sense, it was like a one-sided massacre. It couldn't be called a fight at all.

While this was happening, Woodrain Ancient was finding it to be weird.

"Something is wrong here..." Woodrain Ancient was confused, "The reports said that these beasts are getting stronger every time they are rampaging. But if you will look at this, it's like they are far weaker compared to how the reports detailed it."

So far, there's nothing of a threat appeared. And these beasts were about to be annihilated completely. Just this situation, it was certainly strange.

Remember, the reports had already told that there were beasts that were capable of slaying Fate Emperors. But now, even Grand Monarchs could kill this bunch without difficulty.

What's going on? Woodrain Ancient couldn't help but have a bad premonition about this.

"!!!" Woodrain Ancient suddenly realized something but it was too late. In a blink of an eye, a black figure suddenly shot up towards Woodrain Ancient and attacked him.

"Boom!" Woodrain Ancient protected himself a bit but he was still thrown away up to the sky. The impact of the attack was violent enough to shake the whole land.

It was a two human-sized mole. With its brown skin and sharp nose that almost like a beak. Its body was muscular as if it trained itself towards perfection for countless of years. It was looking at everyone present as if they were but a food in its eyes.

"!!!" Everyone was alarmed by this sudden appearance of a beast. They were about to attack it when Woodrain Ancient sent them a telepathic message, "Don't you guys move unless you want to die. You are not a match against it."

His voice was serious and grave. To receive such words from an Ancient meant that the opponent was strong. Stronger than them.

"Hoh? An Ancient is truly worthy of praise. I used almost all of my strength in that attack and yet I only broke your arm. That's fantastic." Suddenly, the mole beast talked and giggled.

"!!!" Everyone was alarmed once again and their bodies shook uncontrollably.

Even Woodrain Ancient didn't believe what he heard.

This beast... was capable of human speech?

How was that possible?

In the previous records of beast hordes, there's nothing like this. The beasts here were all animals following their nature and instincts. There was no such thing as a beast talking.

But now, a talking beast appeared.

"What are you?" Woodrain Ancient regained his composure and asked with authority. He could not be shaken for too long or else others would lose moral.

"Nothing." The mole shook its head, "I'm just a lowly servant of the King. So I'm really nothing."

"Who is your King and what is your objective in attacking our Imperial Grounds?" Woodrain asked a question once again.

"You are just but an Ancient, so you are not worthy of knowing our King." The mole sneered and said, "But I can tell you our objective here, we want the dao lake of your Imperial Grounds. If you give it to us, we won't make things difficult for you."

"You want our dao lake?" Woodrain Ancient laughed coldly and asked, "You sure have the guts to aim for something precious for us."

"As we have the ability now, of course." The mole chuckled, "Just to remind you, there are many people in our pack that as strong or stronger than me, so do you think your grounds can survive this onslaught if ever?"

"With just a bunch of brainless beasts, there's nothing to be afraid of." Woodrain Ancient provoked. His temper was really foul that he couldn't hold it back even here.

"Oh." The mole got serious all of a sudden and revealed a dark expression, "You want it the hard way? Okay, I'll be happy to comply."

"Boom!" The mole released his full aura and it suppressed all of the people here except Woodrain Ancient.

"An Ancient...?" Woodrain Ancient widened his eyes in utter surprise.

This talking mole was an Ancient! Or to say, he was releasing an aura on par with an Ancient!

Woodrain Ancient thought that he already overestimated this mole by evaluating it as a Destiny. But to think that it far stronger than it?

This had taken him aback.

"Boom!" But he didn't have the time to think about this. He also released his full aura in order to deflect the suppressive aura from his subordinates.

"Oh, fighting back?" The mole sneered, "Futile. This is futile resistance. Your dao lake will be ours from this day forth."

"Boom! Boom!" Unexpectedly, two more moles appeared out of the void and released their full aura.

"!!!" Woodrain Ancient's expression turned pale and spat a mouthful of blood. He couldn't take three Ancients' suppressive auras all at once. He knelt down in the air and tried to catch his breath.

Two more Ancients have appeared out of nowhere as if they were waiting for this chance.
