Chapter 871 Traitor!

He Zong was the king of all beasts and had already become a ten-star soul beast many years ago.

He transformed into a golden lion on the spot. His powerful soul beast power spread out, causing Jian Yi's expression to change on the spot!

"On the divine mountain, no beast can transform into their beast form. Unless… you've already entered the demigod realm?!"

The golden lion took a step forward, and the entire temple trembled. He smiled proudly and said, "This is all thanks to the blood provided by the prophet. It's because I drank her blood that I was able to step into the demigod realm from ten stars!"

Not only He Zong but the beast soldiers who came up the mountain with him were also top-notch experts. Their average strength was about eight stars, and the weakest was six stars. The strongest had even reached ten stars!

These experts were elites who had been carefully nurtured for many years.

With such powerful strength, even if all the elites of the 10,000 Beast City were to be mobilized here, they might not be able to defeat them.

It was precisely because of this that He Zong dared to barge into the temple and imprison Lin Huanhuan.

"You can't escape!" After the golden lion roared, he jumped and pounced toward Lin Huanhuan!

At the critical moment, Xing Chen suddenly attacked.

Countless black Soul-Devouring Vines darted out of his sleeve and wrapped around the male beast's limbs, throwing him to the side!

The male beast forcefully changed his direction in midair and broke free from the Soul-Devouring Vines' restraints. He landed steadily on the ground.

Jian Yi turned around and shouted at Chen Yuan and Zao Nian, "Take the prophet away quickly!"

Huanhuan insisted on not leaving. "Eggy is still in the temple. I can't leave her behind!"

"You guys go first. I'm more familiar with this place. I'll go look for her. When I find her, I'll immediately go out and meet you guys."

With that, Jian Yi charged into the depths of the temple alone.

Some beast soldiers immediately chased after him.

Huanhuan wanted to follow, but she was forcefully dragged out of the temple by Chen Yuan and Zao Nian.

"It's too dangerous here. You have to go down the mountain immediately. We've already arranged for someone to meet you at the foot of the mountain."

Huanhuan still refused to leave. "No, I can't leave Eggy behind. I'm taking her with me."

"Jian Yi has already gone to look for Eggy. Even if you go now, you won't be able to help. If you're unlucky, you might be caught again. At that time, all our arrangements will be in vain!"

"But…"

"No buts! Let's go!"

Chen Yuan and Zao Nian each grabbed her arm and ignored her struggles. They forcefully brought her toward the mountain village.

Along the way, Huanhuan turned around to look.

She heard banging sounds coming from the temple as if heavy things were colliding with each other.

At this moment, the golden lion suddenly broke through the door and rushed out of the temple!

Behind him were countless black vines.

Those were all Soul-Devouring Vines!

The vines were stained with blood. They had sucked the blood of countless people.

In any case, there were at least 180 beast soldiers surrounding He Zong previously. Now, not a single one of them had escaped.

The lion roared, "You're actually a demon!"

Even Chen Yuan and Zao Nian were very surprised. They did not expect a demonic creature to appear in the 10,000 Thousand Beast Temple. Moreover, this demonic creature was fighting He Zong and seemed to be protecting Huanhuan.

Seizing this opportunity, Huanhuan struggled free from the duo's restraints and turned to run toward the Soul-Devouring Vines while shouting.

"Xing Chen, Eggy is still in the temple. Can you help me get her out?"

The wilful Soul-Devouring Vines paused for a moment.

Xing Chen's voice rang out. "Wait a minute."

Huanhuan looked at him expectantly.

At this moment, she was thinking that as long as Xing Chen could help her save Eggy, she would do anything!

Even if she had to be with him and never be separated!

The lion pounced toward Huanhuan again!

The Soul-Devouring Vines made a move in time. They wrapped their vines around Huanhuan's waist and dragged her into the temple.

The lion missed and roared, "Lin Huanhuan, as a prophet, you actually colluded with a dirty demon! You're not worthy of being a prophet. I'm going to report you to all the beasts, you traitor!"

His voice resounded throughout the entire divine mountain.

Unfortunately, Huanhuan was dragged into the center of the Soul-Devouring Vines. Her surroundings were filled with constantly twisting vines, and she could not hear anything from the outside world.

In the deepest part, there was a small white flower.

The flower was completely different from the Soul-Devouring Vines' bloody and violent aura.

It looked both gentle and quiet.

It made one involuntarily want to approach it.

Huanhuan stared at the flower for a moment and recalled that she had once seen this flower in Xing Chen's memories.

It was a gift from the Divine Tree to the Soul-Devouring Vine many years ago.

Unexpectedly, it was still intact after so long.

Huanhuan involuntarily reached out to it.

Right then, with a loud bang, the lion forcefully barged into the temple.

His sharp claws tore apart the flying vines.

The lion and the Soul-Devouring Vines fought again. The destructive power of a battle between peerless experts was too strong.

As the ground shook, even Huanhuan's position was not spared.

There were a few times when she was almost hit by the flying stones. Fortunately, the Soul-Devouring Vines could help her send the stones flying in time every time, so she was not injured.

Two Soul-Devouring Vines retracted from the depths of the temple.

At the end of the vines, there were two people wrapped around them. They were Eggy and Jian Yi.

Both of them were unconscious.

The Soul-Devouring Vines sent the two of them out of the temple.

When they were placed on the ground, Chen Yuan and Zao Nian immediately rushed over and helped the two of them up, trying their best to distance themselves from the temple.

The Soul-Devouring Vines wrapped themselves around Huanhuan's waist and rubbed it carefully.

Xing Chen's voice said, "It's dangerous here, but I don't want to let you go."

Since he had already saved Eggy, she no longer had any worries in her heart and was filled with gratitude toward him. She immediately said, "It's alright. I'll stay and accompany you!"

This was perhaps the first time Xing Chen had ever heard her say such a thing.

The Soul-Devouring Vines involuntarily tightened their grip on her.

It was as if they were entangled with their favorite treasure.

The battle between the lion and the Soul-Devouring Vines was still ongoing. The surrounding walls and ground had basically been destroyed. There was gravel everywhere, and there was not even a place to land.

In terms of strength, the Soul-Devouring Vines were actually slightly stronger.

However, this was the divine mountain. It naturally had a certain level of suppression against monsters and demons. Xing Chen's strength had been suppressed quite a bit. Right now, under the high-intensity attacks of the male beast, protecting Huanhuan and preventing her from being injured was already the limit of what he could do.

Fortunately, his regenerative ability was very strong. Even if he was injured, he could recover quickly.

But He Zong couldn't.

The wounds on his body increased, and his stamina was depleted. His speed also became slower and slower.

If this continued, it was very likely that he would collapse from serious injuries and exhaustion.
