Chapter 179
“Da Huang …”
Xiao Chen looked at the yellow dog in the ruins. It was a bloody mess and its eyes were tightly shut. It did not seem to have any signs of life. Immediately, tears streamed down his face. He slowly bent down and extended his trembling hands to gently carry the Lion King that weighed dozens of kilograms. Then, he stood up straight and quickly walked towards Sha Buried Heaven.
The yellow dog’s body was already ice-cold. Although it had not stiffened, Xiao Chen could no longer sense the yellow dog’s signs of life. This was because Da Huang was no longer breathing, nor was his heartbeat.
Even so, Xiao Chen did not wish to give up. He was still hoping for a miracle to happen. Therefore, Xiao Chen carried the yellow dog to Sha Buried Heaven’s side and pleaded, “Senior, please save my brother Da Huang. Xiao Chen will never forget it. I will definitely repay you handsomely, even if I have to give up my life!”
“This yellow dog is the Lion King?”
Not only was Sha Buried Heaven puzzled, even Sha Pothole and company were puzzled. The yellow dog was no longer breathing, so they naturally could not sense how powerful the yellow dog was. Sha Pothole and company had only seen the transformed Da Huang, who was also known as the Lion King. How could they know that the yellow dog was the majestic Lion King?
When Xiao Chen saw that Sha Buried Heaven did not immediately save Da Huang, he immediately explained anxiously, “Yes, Da Huang is the Lion King. This is what the Lion King looks like before he transforms. Senior, please stop asking and quickly save Da Huang!”
“He can transform?
Eh, what a magical desolate beast!
Ah, I’m sorry. I’ll immediately save him. However, it seems like he’s already dead. I’ll do my best! ”
When Sha Buried Heaven heard about a mystical desolate beast that could transform, he was immediately astonished. However, when he saw Xiao Chen’s anxious expression, he did not ask further. He immediately began attempting to revive the dead yellow dog.
He took out another precious healing pill and pried open the yellow dog’s mouth with one hand. With the other hand, he placed the healing pill deep into the yellow dog’s mouth. He watched the healing pill slide down the yellow dog’s throat before he released his hand. Following that, he held one of the yellow dog’s forelimbs with one hand and channeled a sliver of Desolate Power into the yellow dog’s body. His goal was to check on the yellow dog’s internal condition.
“Hmm?
How could this be?
Why does it feel like its body has been burned by an invisible fire? ”
A moment later, Sha Zang Tian’s expression changed drastically. He cried out in an exaggerated manner, as if he was a mortal who had seen a ghost.
“Father, this desolate beast once burned its life energy to fight me.”
Heaven Breaker walked over and explained before Xiao Chen could. He knew more about this kind of thing than Xiao Chen, so he had the most right to speak.
“Burning the power of life!
No wonder, no wonder! ”
When Sha Zang Tian heard Heaven Breaker’s answer, his expression changed once again. Then, he felt relieved and kept muttering to himself. After a moment, he fell into deep thought as his brows knitted together. His eyes flickered as if he was struggling with something.
When Xiao Chen saw that Sha Zang Tian was not moving, he immediately panicked. He glared at the culprit who had killed The Lion King, Sha Zang Tian, and knelt down in front of Sha Zang Tian. “Senior, please do your best to save Da Huang. If you can save Da Huang, I will do anything for you!”
“Ah?
You can’t do that, you can’t do that. Young Master Xiao Chen, kneeling to me will shorten my lifespan. Uh … please get up. ”
When Sha Zang Tian heard Xiao Chen’s plea, he looked up and saw Xiao Chen kneeling to him. Instantly, he jumped up like an old monkey and reached out to help Xiao Chen up.
Only he knew a little about Xiao Chen’s background. Because of this, he couldn’t bear to let Xiao Chen kneel to him. If Xiao Chen’s identity was as he had guessed, then Xiao Chen’s identity would be incomparably respectable. He was just the chief of a small Death God Tribe; he couldn’t accept Xiao Chen kneeling to him.
“Senior, please do your best to save this junior’s brother, Da Huang. I beg you!
This junior will kowtow to you! ”
Xiao Chen didn’t stand up immediately. Instead, he continued to plead. Da Huang was his best brother; he didn’t want Da Huang to pass away just like that.
“Young Master Xiao Chen, please stand up quickly. This old man will promise you. However, whether or not your brother, Da Huang, can be saved will depend on Da Huang’s luck. After all, he is completely lifeless now …”
When Sha Zang Tian saw that Xiao Chen was actually kowtowing to him, he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t hesitate anymore and agreed to Xiao Chen’s plea. What else could he do?
He had just turned a hundred years old this year; he thought that he was still in the prime of his life. He didn’t want to shorten his lifespan. He wanted to live to two hundred, three hundred, or even a thousand years old!
“Thank you, Senior, for your kindness!”
Xiao Chen stood up. Sha Zang Tian had already said so much; if he continued to kneel, it would be a little pretentious. He wasn’t that kind of person. Unless he had no other choice, he wouldn’t kneel to anyone. This was the pride in his bones. However, for his life-and-death brother, Da Huang, he wouldn’t even hesitate to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames — let alone kneeling.
Sha Zang Tian didn’t say anything else. His right hand reached into the innermost part of his tattered clothes and searched for a while. Then, he took out a small jade bottle and removed the stopper. Carefully, he poured out a pure green elixir the size of a longan. This elixir didn’t have a single trace of impurities and was as transparent as clear water. Light flowed inside the elixir as if it was a living thing. It was very mystical.
“Such a rich life aura!”
Xiao Chen was the closest, so his nose caught the scent of the elixir. His spirits were immediately lifted, and all the pores on his body opened up, greedily absorbing the incomparably wondrous aura emitted by the elixir. At this moment, Xiao Chen felt like he was being caressed by the Goddess of Life. His entire body trembled in comfort, and he couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.
“Kid, at least you know what’s good for you. This is a Prolonging Life Pill, and it’s at the Saint Tier!
It can extend one’s life by at least twenty years. This Prolonging Life Pill was a heavenly treasure that I found with great difficulty, and I even begged one of the three great Saint Alchemists of the continent, Xue Wuhen, to help me refine it. I was planning to consume it myself, but now it’s all yours.
Isn’t this old man generous enough? “Sha Zang Tian smiled proudly when he heard Xiao Chen’s cry of surprise. Then, a pained expression appeared on his face. He moved closer to his nose and deeply inhaled the Prolonging Life Pill’s aura. Then, he quietly said the name of the elixir, its grade, its effects, and who refined it.
“A Prolonging Life Pill!
And a Saint Tier at that!
This is a medicine that can extend one’s life!
This thing is much more precious than a healing panacea! ”
When the thousands of martial artists heard Sha Zang Tian’s description, they could not help but exclaim in shock. Their eyes widened as they stared at the pure green elixir in Sha Zang Tian’s hand. Their eyes were filled with greed. If the Prolonging Life Pill wasn’t in the hands of Sha Zang Tian, the strongest martial artist of the Asura God Tribe, many of these martial artists would probably kill and plunder, right?
“Such a good elixir of life is going to be wasted on a dead dog. What a pity …” Some of the older martial artists began to lament in their hearts. It was as if the Prolonging Life Pill belonged to them.
When Xiao Chen heard Sha Zang Tian’s introduction of the miraculous elixir, there was no shock or greed in his eyes. There was only joy. He hurriedly urged, “Senior, please give this elixir to my brother, Da Huang, quickly!”
Sha Zang Tian saw that Xiao Chen did not care about how precious the Prolonging Life Pill was. He only cared about whether it could save the yellow dog and treated the priceless Prolonging Life Pill as dog food. This was equivalent to twenty years of his life, and he was going to feed it to a dog. When he thought of all this, the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.
“Alright then.”
Although Sha Zang Tian’s heart ached, since he had already promised Xiao Chen, he had no choice but to reluctantly part with the elixir. There was no point in thinking too much about it. It was better to get the pain over with than to prolong it. Out of sight, out of mind. He quickly placed the Prolonging Life Pill deep within the yellow dog’s mouth and watched as the Prolonging Life Pill slid into the yellow dog’s stomach.
Phew!
Sha Zang Tian took a deep breath and calmed his turbulent emotions. He finally felt a little better.
“Let’s hope a miracle happens.”
Since the Prolonging Life Pill had already been fed to the dog, he could not let it go to waste. Sha Zang Tian muttered to himself sternly and began to help the yellow dog refine the Healing Panacea and Prolonging Life Pill. The yellow dog’s life force was completely gone now. It could not rely on itself to refine the two saint-tier elixirs; it needed external help.
In order to help Xiao Chen save Da Huang, Sha Zang Tian had put in a lot of effort. If he still could not bring Da Huang back to life, then even the legendary gods would not be able to save Da Huang.
