211 The Appearance of the Flood Dragon!
The demonic beast laughed coldly, its voice filled with an endless chill.
“No matter what kind of demonic beast it is, it will not have a good end in your hands. Those with low cultivation will be cooked and trampled on by you. Those with high cultivation will be enslaved by you until death!”
“Some of them were even captured by you humans to be skinned and have their tendons pulled out. Their fur was used to make clothes, their demonic cores were used to increase their cultivation, and their claws, teeth, bones, and tendons were used to forge weapons. You humans are really good at planning. You make the best use of everything, not even letting a drop of blood go to waste!”
“What did these demonic beasts do wrong? To end up in this state?! I can’t believe you guys have the right to say such things.”
Even the Penglai Immortal Beasts, who were kind to others because of Ye Xuan, couldn’t help frowning when they heard these words. Even Yi Chengrui and the others couldn’t speak.
After all, they had never thought of such a problem before.
The Penglai Immortal Beasts spoke hesitantly, no longer as lacking in confidence as before, “But you still shouldn’t be so ruthless.”
“Did the humans give us a chance to survive?” the high-level demonic beast asked.
Although there were conflicts between human cultivators and demonic beasts a thousand years ago, they were not as bad as it was now.
As the spiritual energy gradually dissipated, the human cultivators not only did not restrain themselves, but they also expanded their territory without restraint, even setting their sights on the demonic beasts.
Some special demonic beasts could be said to have treasures all over their bodies.
Those who were not of the same race would definitely be on different sides. This was a principle that had been passed down for hundreds and thousands of years. Not to mention, most of the demonic beasts had not developed their spiritual intelligence. As the masters, it did not seem to be a problem for humans to enslave and exploit them.
In their eyes, demonic beasts were no different from those ordinary wild beasts. If they died, then so be it. After all, there were still tens of thousands of them in the world.
It was probably because it was too ordinary that it became something natural. No one would think about what wrong the demonic beasts had done in this place. They were innocent.
Yi Chengrui opened his mouth and said, “But we only killed those low-level demonic beasts, and most of the time it was for self-protection…”
As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer, as if he was lacking in confidence.
“I’m not wrong to say that you humans are despicable. Do you think that you should be killed just because you’re born weak? If that’s the case, it doesn’t seem to be a problem for us to kill you humans.”
The high-level demonic beast’s voice was cold, and it pierced into everyone’s hearts like ice.
“Why do we have to be exploited by you humans? Why should we be trampled under your feet? What right do you have that the moment demonic beasts are born, we have to be stepping stones for lowly creatures like you?”
As its voice fell, there seemed to be something rolling in the clouds. A huge but slender black shadow could be vaguely seen, and its black scales gave off a strange look under the refraction of the sun.
In all fairness, there were cases of demonic beasts taking the initiative to attack humans, but most of them were because humans had trespassed their territory.
Most of the time, it was humans who took the initiative to kill demonic beasts, but the purpose was to enhance their own strength. In this way, demonic beasts really did nothing wrong.
It was just that they had different standpoints and different races.
“Such despicable humans who kill innocents for treasures can even kill their own kind. Do you still want to protect them?”
The Penglai Immortal Beasts had been sealed for too long and had no idea that the relationship between humans and demonic beasts had deteriorated to such an extent. These words had given them a huge shock.
Even though they had a good relationship with Ye Xuan, they were still a little hesitant at this moment.
“You demonic beasts have also killed many people,” Ye Xuan said, “The disciples in the mines have all died miserably at your hands. There’s a saying that goes,’ enough is enough.’ I hope you understand that.”
“That’s because they deserve to be killed! All of this is the result of your greed, and you’ve even committed an unforgivable crime. Only blood can wash away the sins you’ve committed!”
Unforgivable crime?
Ye Xuan already had a guess. He asked, “What are you talking about?”
“You’ve disturbed that Supreme Lord’s eternal rest!”
It was indeed related to the skeletal dragon!
“Roar!”
It was accompanied by a beast’s roar, but this time it was extremely clear. It actually sounded a little like a dragon, and the black shadow in the clouds also became clearer.
A huge shadow loomed over everyone’s heads, and it was like a mountain pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.
Seeing that the beast horde had stopped moving, the high-level demonic beast hiding behind the scenes finally couldn’t help but reveal itself, planning to personally take action.
It had the head of a horse and the body of a snake. Its head was like a camel, and its neck was like a snake. Its eyes were bright and full of vigor, and it was filled with supreme pressure. Its scales, in particular, seemed to be made of black jade, and it was filled with an indescribable noble and domineering aura.
“A dragon! It’s a dragon!”
“I didn’t expect that dragons still exist in this world!”
After clearly seeing the appearance of the demonic beast, Yi Chengrui and the others opened their mouths wide and raised their necks high. Their eyes almost fell out. They never thought that it would be a dragon.
Even Shen Changling and the others were shocked. They thought it would be fine if they saw a skeletal dragon, but now what they saw was a living dragon.
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes but shook his head. He said, “This isn’t a true dragon, it’s a flood dragon.”
Ancient records stated that flood dragons were a type of dragon. The flood dragon lived in water bodies and was the length of thousands of fish. It could also fly.
This flood dragon didn’t even have dragon feelers. Its head was also extremely flat, and it only had four claws. It should have the blood of the dragon race in its body, but it was not pure. Otherwise, it wouldn’t look like this.
However, in today’s era where the dragon race was extinct, even if it had a little bloodline, it was enough for it to dominate a region. Otherwise, it would not have been able to command so many demonic beasts to attack Changping.
There weren’t many demonic beasts with the dragon bloodline. It could be said to be very rare, and the flood dragon was almost extinct. It was not easy to see one now.
Everyone’s expression immediately became somewhat nervous.
