Chapter 239: Eating Divine Beasts

The Holy Infant King?

Qin Jun was speechless, subconsciously looking at the smug-looking Hong Haier next to him. He didn't know what to say.

Could it be that someone bribed Jiang Ming to promote him specifically?

Is this guy trying too hard?

"I heard that the Holy Infant King is very small, like a dwarf. I don't know if it's true or not," a male companion of Jiang Ming said with longing.

Qin Jun couldn't bear to listen anymore and quickly shifted his attention to the battle between the Ink Qilin and the cloaked figure in the sky.

The two kept colliding in the air, using various spells. From below, it looked like fireworks blooming, magnificent and spectacular.

Due to the distance and the extremely fast speed of the virtual realm, Qin Jun couldn't see clearly at all. Compared to other cultivators at the God Beast Lake, he was also in a state of not understanding.

"Who do you think will win?" Qin Jun asked Sha Wujing.

Unexpectedly, this general from the Black Dragon Kingdom was so strong, indicating that he also had the cultivation of the virtual realm.

"The cloaked person will win. He clearly has some strength left and seems unwilling to reveal his identity as a practitioner of the demonic path," Sha Wujing replied. Qin Jun suddenly felt that there might be a change in the plan to capture the god beast this time.

Thinking about the Black Dragon Kingdom daring to besiege the Qianyue Kingdom, he couldn't help but speculate: Could it be that the Abyss Gate is supporting the Black Dragon Kingdom?

In the past, when the Southern Zhuo Dynasty was strong, the Black Dragon Kingdom might not have dared, but now that the Southern Zhuo Dynasty is in chaos, it is indeed a good opportunity.

But if the Black Dragon Kingdom is backed by the Abyss Gate, then why would their general compete with the cloaked figure for the god beast?

Qin Jun's head was aching, unaware that he was getting closer to the truth.

With a deafening roar, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, splashing into the lake with a loud thud, creating water splashes several meters high.

The person who fell was the Ink Qilin.

Shortly after, the cloaked figure also descended. The entire God Beast Lake fell silent.

The Ink Qilin was defeated!

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes as they looked at the cloaked figure in the sky. Although he was dressed like a farmer, his current aura was hard to ignore.

"After the hatching of the god beast egg, everyone will rely on their own abilities. How about it?" the cloaked figure said loudly, immediately drawing cheers from various forces.

Although there were doubts about the cloaked figure's identity, his words made everyone feel good, at least better than the domineering declaration of the Ink Qilin.

After saying this, the cloaked figure flew into the woods and disappeared.

Shortly after he left, the Ink Qilin flew out of the God Beast Lake. At this moment, he was in a sorry state, his silver armor soaked in lake water and blood, and even some parts were torn.

"Damn it!"

The Ink Qilin's face was grim, filled with anger. He had been defeated by a mysterious person, and it was in front of everyone. When had he ever been so embarrassed?

Just then, a shadow suddenly appeared in the water below him, growing larger and larger. With a bang, a huge creature flew out of the lake, its gaping mouth heading straight for the Ink Qilin.

Everything happened so suddenly, and combined with the Ink Qilin's anger, he didn't have time to react and was swallowed by the creature's mouth.

Silence!

On the shore of the lake, thousands of people stared in disbelief, even Qin Jun subconsciously widened his eyes.

It was a huge monster that looked like a red meatball, with a body that was half its head, small eyes filled with ferocity, and a smooth surface. After swallowing the Ink Qilin, it floated on the surface of the lake, coldly scanning the shore.

"Anyone who enters the lake will undoubtedly die!"

The red monster spoke coldly, its voice devoid of any emotion. A monster at the virtual realm was already a king among monsters, naturally able to speak.

As it scanned the area, the cultivators all lowered their heads, not daring to meet its gaze.

Only Qin Jun and the others didn't, with Qin Jun curiously asking, "What kind of monster is this? It looks like a meatball."

Hearing this, Daji and Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh, and even the Xingtian Dog and Sha Wujing couldn't help but chuckle. Only Hong Haier stared at the red monster intently, as if watching a mouse.

"This monster is not simple, it should be a rare breed," Sha Wujing pondered. Qin Jun couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "So you guys don't know what it is?"

No one answered him because no one really knew.

If someone knew the origin of the red monster, the Black Dragon Kingdom wouldn't have mistaken it for a god beast.

Soon, the red monster dived back into the lake, disappearing without a trace.

"I'm afraid the origin of this god beast is not simple. Most god beasts are formed after birth, but this one already exudes the aura of a god beast while still in the egg..." Sha Wujing suddenly said with a serious tone, "And the fact that the guardian monster clearly doesn't want to protect the god beast egg. If that were the case, it should have already eliminated any intruders."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun suddenly understood his meaning. This red monster probably wanted to eat the god beast. After the god beast hatched, it would pounce and eat it, then escape, without needing to worry about the surrounding cultivators.

Because it understood that if it killed too many cultivators, it would only bring trouble. After all, it was just a virtual realm monster king and hadn't reached the point where it could single-handedly destroy the Black Dragon Kingdom. If it were to slaughter cultivators on a large scale now, it would attract the Black Dragon Kingdom's pursuit. Its plan to wait for the god beast to hatch and then eat it would be endlessly hindered.

"Can monsters evolve by eating god beasts?" Qin Jun asked with a strange look on his face, feeling a bit like a chicken eating a phoenix.

"Of course they can," Daji licked her lips and smiled, giving Qin Jun a chill. Could it be that this woman also wanted to eat the god beast?

The threat of the deep red monster and the tragic death of the ink unicorn plunged the God Beast Lake into an eerie atmosphere. Everyone was filled with fear, afraid that the deep red monster would jump out and eat them.

The news of the ink unicorn being eaten by the monster spread rapidly among the major forces, sweeping through the entire Black Dragon Kingdom in just two days like a whirlwind.

...

Black Dragon Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

"What? The ink unicorn was eaten by the monster?" The Black Dragon Emperor stood in front of the dragon throne, incredulously asking, his eyes wide and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

With Bao Zhendan and the ink unicorn dead one after the other, the Black Dragon Kingdom was left without a strong presence in the Void Transformation Realm!

The strength of the Black Dragon Kingdom plummeted from the clouds without a strong presence in the Void Transformation Realm. Even though the Black Dragon Kingdom had a stronger military force than the neighboring kingdoms, its actual strength was inferior. Not to mention, the Qianyue Kingdom and the Wuqi Kingdom both had strong presences in the Void Transformation Realm.

A single strong presence in the Void Transformation Realm was enough to withstand a million troops!

"It is said that before this, there was a mysterious strong presence who defeated General Mo..." A trembling voice came from a man in a brocade robe standing on the dais. The entire hall was deserted and desolate, with only them and a few guards.

The Black Dragon Emperor slumped on the dragon throne, paying no attention to the man's latter words.

With the death of the ink unicorn, even if the Black Dragon Kingdom had a powerful backer, it was still severely weakened. The backer would not provide a strong presence in the Void Transformation Realm to the Black Dragon Kingdom, and even if they did, the Black Dragon Emperor would not dare to accept it.
