Chapter 329: Unicorn Beetle

In a mountain valley far from the unnamed human settlement.

Inside the winding mountain path, Jiang Xia, sitting near the stream, was resting.

Although he had a superhuman physique, he still needed temporary rest.

That's why Jiang Xia chose this secluded mountain valley, because it was far from human habitation.

If the Grongi came to attack, at least he wouldn't have to deliberately kick the turtle-shaped Grongi into the air to destroy it like before.

In just a few days, he had fought every Grongi faction; this battle intensity was such that even the original Rick couldn't withstand this endless war of attrition.

Fortunately, his internal energy was abundant, and he didn't need to eat, otherwise it would really become troublesome.

Although Jiang Xia's body wouldn't tire, his spirit was very weary, let alone the nerve protrusions of the spirit stone having already penetrated his brain.

In this tranquil mountain valley, with a small stream flowing nearby, resting here would certainly involve some danger.

But Jiang Xia merely relaxed his spirit, experienced this feeling of calm, in short, he was meditating.

Gradually, Jiang Xia relaxed, becoming calm and peaceful like those meditation masters.

Everything looked so beautiful.

The hollow, emerald-green pillars swayed gently in the breeze.

The birds perched above were startled awake by the suddenly swaying bamboo.

They chirped as they took flight.

Just then, the previously tranquil mountain valley suddenly emitted an abnormal, oppressive aura.

This aura was filled with hostility, killing intent, and an abnormally high battle lust.

Jiang Xia slowly opened his eyes; he also sensed an unknown murderous qi in the air.

This Grongi was much stronger than the ones he had previously destroyed.

It seemed he had finally reached the final round.

The Grongi final round consisted of only a few individuals; besides Da Gu Ba, the other members of the Ge Group were also not weak, the strongest even rivaling the astonishing all-around ability of Wudai Xiongjie.

Three people dressed as humans, under a faintly distorted gaze, slowly walked toward the resting Jiang Xia.

At that moment, Jiang Xia also focused his gaze on those three.

Two men and one woman, unlike the Rose Woman in Jiang Xia's memory, wearing reddish-brown clothes, with curled hair on her shoulders, her eyes still as cold as ice.

However, Jiang Xia recognizes people not by appearance, but by their records existing on Earth.

No matter how that person's appearance changes, their traces of activity remain unchanged.

In other words, there is no stranger he cannot distinguish.

Is he Kuuga?

The Rose Woman openly showed her interest in Jiang Xia without hiding it.

He looks no different from an ordinary Grongi, except his appearance isn't as rugged as a typical Grongi.

Even by her standards, she had to admit that Kuuga's appearance among the many Grongi she had seen was of high quality.

The Horned Beetle Grongi, the Crow-Tengu Grongi, and finally the Butterfly Grongi.

La Baruba Butterfly, that is the Rose Woman's true name and form.

"You're the Kuuga that Da Gu Ba took a fancy to? As long as I defeat you, I can unlock the ultimate dark game." The General, looking at Jiang Xia's calm, water-like eyes, spoke up first.

Jiang Xia, seeing the General's initiative, merely let out a light sigh:

"I've always wanted to say, you all come up with the same opening line every time, your lines are almost identical; don't you all need a killing game to survive? Grongi are the race I despise most, without exception."

"You bastard?" The General's eyes suddenly narrowed, the surrounding air began to turn viscous. After speaking, the atmosphere around them felt like a wonderful program on TV suddenly cutting off, black screen, leaving only a person facing a black TV.

And Jiang Xia also unhesitatingly met the General's gaze, his body also emitting an inexplicable aura.

In that instant, the mountain valley fell silent; the birds seemed to have lost their voices, animals hid underground, covering their heads and trembling.

This guy, is he provoking on purpose?

Hearing Jiang Xia's words, the Rose Woman couldn't help but twitch the corner of her eye.

Her first reaction was that Kuuga was seeking death.

Gadolu's strength should be only below the En Group; as long as it completes its final mission, it can earn the right to challenge Da Gu Ba; the turtle-shaped Grongi's strength is far inferior to the General's, so even if Kuuga defeats the turtle-shaped Grongi, Kuuga still falls far short in strength.

Isn't provoking him just seeking death?

But when she saw Jiang Xia's gaze toward her, so calm it was extreme, the Rose Woman shuddered violently, her body shook unnaturally, and all her hairs stood on end.

It was as if the opposing side had already obtained the ultimate darkness like Da Gu Ba; merely by existing, it could suppress all Grongi.

No need to make any other move or attack.

"Haha, you are indeed a strong opponent! Great, great! You have successfully aroused my battle lust."

Gadolu felt this incomparably pure and powerful aura; the whole person went mad with excitement.

Kuuga's battle lust is not strong, but it is incomparably pure.

If fighting him, one would certainly let one's own strength reach another level.

He finally understood why Da Gu Ba took a liking to the current Kuuga.

"I have no expectations for our battle; you are merely targets I must annihilate."

Jiang Xia lowered his gaze; those clear pupils, under the afternoon sunlight, absorbed all heat and turned icy.

Exactly, exactly, that's the feeling — either you die or I perish, there is no other choice.

The General's body suddenly burst forth a strong wave of golden light, golden electricity flashing across his body.

"Huh?" Jiang Xia slightly glanced sideways.

Is it because of my meddling?

Clearly, in the future, to obtain a similar ascended form, the General would need to absorb a power plant, yet in antiquity he already possessed similar power.

Gadolu, what have you done to your body?!

Crow Tengu Gu Langji stared in astonishment at the general whose body erupted with power; he finally realized that something was wrong with the situation.

Obviously this this task was assigned to all members of the Ge Group; as long as you defeat Kongwo you can obtain the qualification of Da Gu Ba, but he only found Jia Duolu.

The other members of the Ge Group seemed to have all disappeared; at first he merely thought they had gone to satisfy their own desires.

After all, Gu Langji has a very long lifespan; they often disappear from time to time to seek fun, therefore he entrusted the task solely to Jia Duolu.

However, judging from the phenomenon, the situation is far from what he imagined.

"That's right, just as you thought." Jia Duolu licked his lips, turned his head, and excitedly said to the trembling crow tengu Gu Langji:

"Their power already belongs to me, just like the Light and Dark Game; I have taken the belts of all of them, and all members of the Ge Group are now inside my stomach."

"Your actions seriously affect the game rules; Da Gu Ba will not let you off."

The crow tengu Gu Langji's beak could not close; he could only forcibly stabilize his trembling body.

"As you said, the strong do not need to follow the corresponding rules; as long as one has great power, I am the king of Gu Langji, and I am a Gu Langji stronger than Da Gu Ba."

Jia Duolu pinched the crow tengu Gu Langji's beak, bent down to his ear, and whispered: "By then, you still have to count for me."
