Chapter 425
“Rumble!”
In the wee hours of the morning, just as the sky was about to brighten, thunder boomed from the horizon. Following that, countless dark clouds quickly gathered towards the area where Xiao Chen and Da Huang were. The clouds grew thicker and thicker. It looked like a heavy rain was coming very soon.
“Is it going to rain?”
The sleeping Xiao Chen and Da Huang were awoken by the thunder. They could not help but look up at the sky. Seeing the dark clouds, Xiao Chen frowned and muttered that it was going to rain. He hated rain. In the past, every time it rained, something bad would happen. Could it be that something like this was going to happen again?
“Pi Pa!”
“Hua La La!”
The rainstorm came without warning. As a huge bolt of lightning streaked across the dark clouds, a rainstorm the size of peanuts began to fall. It became heavier and soon, it became a heavy downpour.
Xiao Chen felt that his clothes had been drenched by the rainstorm in a blink of an eye. Hence, he said to Da Huang, who was also drenched like a drenched lion, depressed, “Da Huang, let’s find a cave to hide from the rain?”
“Alright, Big Brother. Let’s go.”
Da Huang also hated rain. It did not let Xiao Chen ride on its drenched back. Instead, it rushed towards the northern mountains, hoping to find a suitable cave.
“Whew!”
Xiao Chen picked up the wooden sword on the grass and inserted it back into the sheath on his back. Following that, he circulated the Power of Desolates to his feet and used his movement technique. He quickly chased after Da Huang. Immediately, the scene of a man and a lion chasing each other appeared in the wilderness, tearing through the rain.
Xiao Chen and Da Huang’s luck was pretty good. An hour later, they found a clean and spacious cave at the foot of a mountain and entered it.
“Wu …”
There was a white-eyed wolf hiding from the rain in the cave. The white-eyed wolf was a third-grade desolate beast. When it saw Xiao Chen and Da Huang rush into the cave, especially when it saw the powerful Lion King, it immediately prostrated itself on the ground in fright. Its eyes no longer had a ferocious glint. All it had was an expression of extreme fear and panic. At the same time, it whimpered and begged for mercy.
The Lion King Da Huang only gave a nonchalant glance at the white-eyed wolf lying in the corner of the cave and immediately lost interest. A third-grade desolate beast was like an ant to him. It could be ignored and he could not even be bothered to make a move. It left the white-eyed wolf trembling in fear in the corner …
Xiao Chen was slightly surprised when he saw the white-eyed wolf, but he quickly regained his composure. With his present strength, it would be difficult for any desolate beast below the peak of the fifth grade to injure him. A white-eyed wolf could be easily killed with one strike, and he could even make it into roasted meat.
Roasted meat?
When Xiao Chen saw wild beasts and desolate beasts, he immediately thought of roasted meat. There was no other way about it. Along the way, he had roasted countless wild beasts and desolate beasts. It had become a habit of his. At this moment, the white-eyed wolf he was looking at was not a wolf, but a pile of fragrant roasted meat.
Da Huang could roughly sense Xiao Chen’s thoughts. He could not help but transmit his voice, “Brother, this wolf is so thin. It doesn’t have much meat. Why don’t we find a few grassland wolves in the future to roast it?”
“Yea, you are right.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were sharp. He estimated that the white-eyed wolf had less than 15 kilograms of lean meat. He agreed with Da Huang’s words, so he gave up on the idea of making the white-eyed wolf into roasted meat. The white-eyed wolf had temporarily escaped a calamity.
Xiao Chen and Da Huang sat on a dry stone slab and quietly waited for the rain to stop. They did not kill the white-eyed wolf, nor did they chase it away. They left the white-eyed wolf in a corner to enjoy the torment of extreme fear. The white-eyed wolf did not even dare to let out a whimper. It was afraid that the powerful humans and The Lion King in front of it would displease it and kill it.
“Whoosh!”
The rain outside did not seem to end. It had been raining for four hours, but there was no sign of it slowing down, much less stopping. Xiao Chen and Da Huang gradually lost their patience. Were they going to stay in the cave the entire time the rain did not stop?
What if it continued raining for a few days?
“Big Brother, let’s wait for another two hours. If the rain does not stop, I will carry you.”
Da Huang was an active person. If he was asked to stay in the same cave for too long, his mood would become irritable.
“Yea.”
Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. Their bodies were very strong anyway. A little rain would not affect them at all.
The poor white-eyed wolf had been in fear for four hours. It did not dare to move, afraid that it would be killed. Its entire body was almost paralyzed. It desperately wanted to escape from the cave, but it did not have the courage. Under the strong aura of The Lion King, it could not stand up at all. It continued to feel fear from the bottom of its bones …
Two hours later, the rain still did not stop. Xiao Chen and Da Huang decided to hurry up. The Lion King stood up, and Xiao Chen rode on the Lion King Da Huang’s back like a holy knight, ready to rush into the dark curtain of rain outside.
“Roar!”
Nobody knew if Big Yellow was trying to scare the ungrateful wolf on purpose or not, but before it left, it let out a lion’s roar, causing the entire cave to tremble. Gravel fell from the sky and scared the ungrateful wolf so much that it fainted. Who knew if the ungrateful wolf was scared out of its wits?
Xiao Chen glanced at the white-eyed wolf that fainted and helplessly shook his head, “Let’s go, Da Huang. That white-eyed wolf is very fearful of you. Don’t scare it to death, haha!”
“Scaring it is already not bad. This idiot, seeing that we didn’t kill it, it doesn’t know how to crawl out?
It actually trembled here for half a day. It really is hopeless!
Hei hei! “Da Huang rushed into the curtain of rain as he ridiculed the white-eyed wolf.
Xiao Chen smiled without saying a word, letting Da Huang play. As long as Da Huang was happy, even if Da Huang wanted to capture the Qilin Kingdom’s king to play with, he would absolutely not interfere. Instead, he would help Da Huang. This was the so-called brothers, sharing blessings and suffering together.
The sky outside was slightly bright, and the heavy rain was frighteningly heavy. It was almost a vast expanse of whiteness, forming a huge curtain of rain.
Da Huang carried Xiao Chen and constantly broke through the curtain of rain. Like a monster in the rain, he fought against the heavy rain. His bravery was unstoppable, but there was no end, giving off a tragic feeling.
A day later, the heavy rain still did not stop. Xiao Chen and Da Huang did not encounter a city, so they naturally continued on their way. If they encountered a city, they would naturally find a hotel or hotel to rest, but unfortunately, they did not encounter one.
In the rainy weather, Xiao Chen and Da Huang did not rest too much. At most, they would stop for a few hours a day. The rest of the time, they would rush through the rain.
What Xiao Chen did not expect was that his enemy, the Xie Clan, and the accompanying martial artists were also sneaking through the rain. They were planning to set up a blocking battle outside a city called Mountain Tile City of the Full Moon Tribe.
Why was it called a blocking battle and not an ambush battle? The reason was very simple. The Lion King was so powerful, and his perception was incomparably strong. Wanting to set up an ambush battle was just a pipe dream. Therefore, it could only be called a blocking battle. To put it bluntly, it was to directly set up an offensive and defensive formation in front of Xiao Chen and the Lion King to have a real collision of strength.
As for why the Xie Clan chose Mountain Tile City, it was because to the south of Mountain Tile City was a huge mountain range called the Hengduan Mountain Range. The mountain range was tens of thousands of feet high. Except for a large canyon that was tens of thousands of feet wide, thousands of miles from east to west were continuous tall mountain ranges.
Therefore, as long as Xiao Chen did not choose to take a detour, there were only two paths: cross the mountain range or go through the canyon. For this choice, as long as one’s brain was not damaged, they would choose the latter. Naturally, Xiao Chen’s brain was not damaged. His time was his life, so it was more or less decided that he would choose to go through the canyon.
This canyon had a name, it was called the Serpentine Canyon. It was the only path that Xiao Chen and Da Huang had to pass through. As a battlefield for Zhong Qiang to stop Xiao Chen and Da Huang, it was the most suitable battlefield.
