Chapter 696

"The temperature here is actually this high? What's going on?"

Chen Ang couldn't help but think to himself. "Where exactly is this little guy taking me?"

Just as he thought of this, he saw the little guy suddenly stop and hide behind a rock.

Seeing this, Chen Ang also hid himself.

He saw that ahead, a beast that looked like a lion but was covered in hard rocks was patrolling.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"There's a beast guarding it? Could it be that there's a second Eight-Petaled Sand Flower in this place?"

Chen Ang thought to himself.

Before he could think much, a few steps further, he really did see an Eight-Petaled Sand Flower!

"There really is one!"

Chen Ang instantly became excited.

However, the situation here was completely different from before!

Before, Chen Ang could use stealing, and could trick the beasts to let the Demon people take the blame.

But now, the beast in front of him was staring fixedly at the Eight-Petaled Sand Flower!

Trying to steal it was impossible!

And without stealing, a battle was unavoidable!

"Damn it, is a battle necessary?"

Looking at the beast wandering around the Eight-Petaled Sand Flower ahead, Chen Ang let out a long sigh. "There's no time to wait slowly and find an opportunity..."

"Although those beasts can hold Qiao Li and those Demon people back for a while, they should catch up soon. I don't have extra time!"

If he didn't take the Eight-Petaled Sand Flower now, it was very likely that Qiao Li and the other Demon people would catch up!

And, if Chen Ang's guess was correct, the Demon people on the other side were also closing in on this side!

So, he had to take that second Eight-Petaled Sand Flower as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable!

This meant that this battle was unavoidable!

"Whatever, I must get the Eight-Petaled Sand Flower!"

Chen Ang thought to himself. "Fortunately, there's only one beast; solving it shouldn't be a problem!"

After making up his mind, Chen Ang charged directly toward the location of the Eight-Petaled Sand Flower.

And that guardian beast was very sharp!

When Chen Ang charged over, it had already sensed him!

"Awoo—"

The guardian beast assumed a fighting stance and stared angrily at Chen Ang, calling out.

With this sound, it was merely warning Chen Ang not to approach.

It didn't really intend to attack Chen Ang directly.

After all, guarding the Eight-Petaled Sand Flower was its mission!

"Sorry, I must take this thing."

Chen Ang looked at the guardian beast with a serious expression and said. "If I don't take it, the human race will face huge danger!"

Although the Eight-Petaled Sand Flower was a rare and precious item.

However, Chen Ang wasn't searching for it because it was a good thing!

Everything was because the Demon people wanted to use this to refine medicine!

And the pills they manufactured were too powerful! It directly concerned the survival of the human race!

As a member of the human race, Chen Ang had an obligation to prevent this from happening!

"Awoo—"

The beast bared its teeth at Chen Ang again.

"Come on, you have your mission, and I have mine. This battle is unavoidable!"

Chen Ang said directly to the guardian beast. "How about we settle this quickly!"

While rushing over, Chen Ang had roughly probed the strength of this beast.

The strength of this beast was roughly at the mid-stage of the human Sovereign Realm.

If Chen Ang hadn't absorbed the spirit liquid before, then he certainly wouldn't be a match for this beast now.

But Chen Ang's current strength was above the mid-stage of the Sovereign Realm!

Therefore, the probability of winning this battle was almost around 80%!

This was also the reason why Chen Ang wasn't afraid of the battle!

"Since absorbing the spirit liquid, I haven't really fought much. This is good; its strength isn't low, so it's a pretty good sparring partner."

Chen Ang thought to himself.

He was even wondering if he could gain experience from this battle and if he could figure out the combination of Rage Intent and Spear Intent?

The combination of Rage Intent and Spear Intent could erupt with a strike of maximum damage, almost reaching the damage of the peak Sovereign Realm!

This was something Chen Ang had been thinking about for some time recently.

If he could figure it out in this battle, then fighting the Demon Race later would be much easier!

Seeing that Chen Ang had no intention of leaving at all, the guardian beast became even more angry.

The guardian beast charged directly at Chen Ang!

Seeing this, Chen Ang immediately took out the Zhenyue Divine Spear!

He dove, rushing under the guardian beast, and the Zhenyue Divine Spear grazed the beast's abdomen.

Originally, Chen Ang thought that the most vulnerable part of such beasts was the abdomen!

Logically speaking, using a high-level weapon like the Zhenyue Divine Spear to graze the most vulnerable part should have caused a huge wound!

However, what Chen Ang didn't expect was that the Zhenyue Divine Spear didn't hurt the guardian beast at all!

Even for the guardian beast, Chen Ang's attack was just like a scratch!

The guardian beast just felt itchy!

Seeing this scene, Chen Ang was startled.

He had already seen that the guardian beast's defensive power was strong, but that was on the outside!

Chen Ang never expected that the inside could also have such strong defensive power!

"This didn't hurt it at all?"

Chen Ang couldn't help but take a deep, cold breath. "I didn't expect this guy's defense to be so strong!"

"Looking at it this way, wanting to defeat it... is difficult!"

Although Chen Ang had known the difference between humans, the Demon Race, and beasts before!

Humans were the weakest!

But Chen Ang never expected that beasts would be so much stronger than humans!

This meant that although this beast was only at the mid-stage of the Sovereign Realm among humans, it was considered very strong at that stage!

"This is really troublesome..."

Chen Ang frowned tightly as he looked at the guardian beast. "Before, I underestimated you!"

Before Chen Ang could say more, the guardian beast charged straight at him!

Seeing this, Chen Ang immediately dodged the guardian beast's attack.

"Boom—"

A loud noise rang out.

A large hole instantly appeared on the ground!

It wasn't hard to see that the guardian beast hadn't held back at all!

Its attacks were extremely heavy! It held the intention of making Chen Ang die!

745: Block Its Mouth!

Furthermore, the guardian beast's speed was also fast.

If Chen Ang hadn't had a certain level of accomplishment in speed, he wouldn't have been able to dodge the guardian beast's attack at all.

"Both speed and attack power are extremely fast; it's worthy of being the guardian beast of the Eight-Petaled Sand Flower."
