Chapter 55: The Young Master of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan

~8 min read 1,424 words

"Demon Saint Mansion, here I come!"

Zhang Yi stood on the broad back of the Pterosaur, roaring with immense pride.

Yet, this roar of his only drew the disdain of Nudi, who was by his side.

"Look at that uncultured look on your face, you really are a country bumpkin!"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes: "You've seen the world, haven't you? Since you've seen the world, how about we two have a go at it?"

As soon as Zhang Yi said this, Nudi, who had been feeling rather smug, instantly lost her nerve.

"This... I don't think that's necessary!"

"I am a civilized bird; fighting and killing are things for you men to do, that doesn't suit me!"

Ju Niao Mu Qin, watching the siblings who seemed uncomfortable if they weren't bickering for a moment, had no intention of stepping in to persuade them.

After all, for such a long time now, he had long since become accustomed to scenes like today's.

Don't look at how his son would threaten to make a move on Nudi at the slightest disagreement; when it came to real action, he had never seen him play for keeps.

Moreover, once anything happened to Nudi, the one rushing to the front would definitely be his own dear son.

What's more, compared to mediating the conflict between these two siblings, she now had a more important mission.

Xiao Pu and the little Earth Dragon!

These two little ones were now practically like her own children, following behind her every step of the way from morning till night, just like two love-starved little tails.

The Pterosaur spread its wings and soared high, its massive body blotting out the sky, and soon it vanished into the horizon.

To save time, they did not follow the originally planned route.

Under Zhang Yi's suggestion, they prepared to take a shortcut, directly crossing an ancient forest known as the "Mist Forest".

This forest was shrouded in thick fog all year round, with complex terrain and numerous Demon Beasts, and there were even rumors that an ancient tree demon with unfathomable strength lived deep in the forest.

As soon as they entered the forest, the thick fog enveloped them, so dense one could not see their own fingers.

"Damn, this fog is too thick, it's even thicker than my snot!"

Long Ge complained.

Zhang Yi activated the 【Insight Eye】, and everything around him became clear; even the thick fog could not block his vision.

"Stop talking nonsense, everyone follow me closely."

In the Mist Forest, all sorts of bizarre-looking Demon Beasts emerged one after another.

A giant spider with butterfly wings descended from the sky, spitting a clump of sticky spider silk at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was prepared; he dodged to the side and backhanded a fireball, directly burning the opponent to charcoal.

"Is that it? I thought it would be quite something."

It must be said, ever since Zhang Yi advanced to a Great Demon Beast, he was completely different from before.

In front of him, most minor demons basically preferred to act rather than blather on.

A mere spider was truly not in his eyes.

However, just as his voice fell.

Immediately after, a chameleon spitting poisonous mist darted out from the bushes nearby.

This little fellow's poisonous mist was colorful, and at first glance, it actually looked quite pretty.

But, one must never be deceived by this little thing's gorgeous appearance.

In this Mist Forest, the more charming the exterior, the more lethal it was likely to be.

"Damn, this thing is disgusting!"

The moment the chameleon appeared, Long Ge and the others immediately held their breath, fearing that if they were careless, they would be taken down by this little fellow.

Unfortunately, this made things difficult for Zhang Yi, who was responsible for clearing the path in front.

There was no help for it; who told them that in this team, only he had such a monstrous skill as the 【Insight Eye】.

Although he felt a bit disgusted at the moment, he still endured the discomfort and threw a fireball, directly scaring the opponent away.

"I say, is our luck too bad? Why do we keep running into these weird things?"

Zhang Yi, who was responsible for clearing the path in front, complained with a look of disdain.

"Who knows, the Mist Forest is famous for its wide variety of Demon Beasts to begin with."

Nudi, behind him, spoke up with a gloating smile.

They continued forward and encountered a pack of ghost wolves capable of turning invisible.

These ghost wolves were elusive and impossible to guard against.

If not for Zhang Yi's 【Insight Eye】 being able to see through their invisibility, they would have likely been ambushed long ago.

"These damn things are so insidious!"

Long Ge was bitten by a ghost wolf and yelped in pain.

"Bear with it, I'll apply medicine for you."

Zhang Yi casually took out a pill that Nudi had refined earlier and tossed it to the Pterosaur.

However, for a big guy like the Pterosaur, this pill was just like a snack or a candy to pass the time.

"Tsk... this pill, it tastes really good!"

Long Ge savored it with an expression of enjoyment, showing no signs of being injured at all.

If not for the fact that he saw blood still flowing from the other's wing, Zhang Yi would have even thought this guy was just deliberately tricking him out of a pill to satisfy his cravings.

"Alright, stop pretending; with your thick skin and flesh, what's a little injury like this?"

"If you ask me, you're just deliberately tricking your father out of pills to eat!"

Xiao Pu, from the side, mercilessly exposed his little scheme.

Long Ge glared at him: "You little runt, why are you blurting out such hard truths? Could the wound on this dragon's wing possibly be fake?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you're young and ignorant, I would definitely fight you for three hundred rounds today!"

Just like that, chatting and laughing along the way, they slaughtered countless strange Demon Beasts and finally arrived at the Demon Saint Mansion before the Arena Competition began.

The Demon Saint Mansion was located atop a towering mountain peak, magnificent and imposing, just like a fairyland.

"Finally arrived."

Zhang Yi let out a long sigh of relief, looking at the Demon Saint Mansion before him, his heart filled with anticipation.

"I hope this Arena Competition will be somewhat interesting."

Long Ge also perked up, his face full of excitement.

Just as they walked to the mountain gate, they saw a group of Demon race disciples gathered there, discussing things heatedly.

"Have you heard? The rewards for this Arena Competition are extremely generous. It is said that besides obtaining the cave and corpse of that Nine-Tier Great Demon, the champion will even be rewarded with a Top-tier Pill by the Demon Saint Mansion!"

"A Top-tier Pill? My god! Is that for real?"

"Yeah, let alone a Top-tier Pill, if I could be rewarded with just an ordinary pill, I would be satisfied!"

Listening to what these Demon race disciples were discussing.

To the side, Zhang Yi and Long Ge exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

A Top-tier Pill—that is an existence that could drive the entire Yao Jie mad!

It's just that I don't know what the function of this Top-tier Pill is...

Zhang Yi was just imagining it in his mind.

But at this moment, a Demon race youth wearing a golden crown walked out from the crowd of demons.

This guy had a tall build and a handsome appearance, and every gesture he made exuded a powerful aura.

"Isn't that Jin Peng, the Young Master of the Golden Winged Peng Clan?"

"I heard he is already an Eighth-rank Great Demon King now, and his strength is extremely formidable!"

"I reckon the champion of this Arena Competition will surely be him!"

Jin Peng walked to the mountain gate, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, a sneer of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth: "A bunch of rabble, and you dare to covet the Top-tier Pill? You really don't know your own limits!"

His words stirred up the dissatisfaction of the demons, but they were hindered by his status and strength.

Zhang Yi looked at Jin Peng's arrogant demeanor, feeling somewhat displeased in his heart.

"This guy is way too arrogant!"

Long Ge also frowned.

"What? You don't like him?"

"How about..."
