Chapter 48: Exposure, the Apprehension of Humanity!

Swoosh—

In an instant, the Golden Mace was coiled to his side, its raised tail positioned right before his eyes, allowing him to observe this treasure at close range.

Lu Chuan's gaze fell upon this Golden Mace, examining it carefully.

Viewing it up close now, he discovered that the shaft of the Golden Mace was engraved with fine, dense cloud patterns; although he could not clearly see what these cloud patterns represented, he felt they were certainly useful.

Although a human might find the weight of this Golden Mace just right, Lu Chuan only felt as if he had coiled up a piece of paper, or perhaps something even lighter than paper; he could barely feel any weight at all.

Previously, he had observed the Golden Mace for a long time from behind that layer of transparent energy film; at that time, he had assumed it was normal not to see the Golden Mace's utility clearly due to the obstruction of the energy film.

Yet now, he realized that simply staring at this Golden Mace was clearly still useless.

For a moment, Lu Chuan fell into deep thought, "How is this thing supposed to be used?"

Before he transmigrated, it wasn't as if he hadn't read books about using a golden mace as a weapon, but in those books, one simply held the mace and lashed out with it; there was basically no need for other methods.

But now he was in the body of a Beast, and compared to his size, this Golden Mace was truly too minuscule—so small that it wouldn't even suffice as a toothpick for him.

Unless he shrank down to a size appropriate to fit the Golden Mace.

But if he did that, he couldn't just keep coiling it with his snake tail or holding it in his mouth to poke enemies, could he? "Try blood-binding!"

As his thoughts flew, Lu Chuan controlled a drop of his own blood and let it fall onto the Golden Mace.

He widened his eyes, watching the spot where the blood dripped, expecting this Golden Mace to suddenly shine brilliantly or erupt with an aura of mutual connection, allowing him to wield it as easily as his own arm, but after a long while, there was still no reaction before him.

"Blood-binding doesn't work either?"

Lu Chuan was suddenly bewildered, "According to the descriptions in those novels, blood-binding is the most convenient, fastest, and most thorough method of use; once bound, one's mind is connected to the master."

"But why doesn't it work for me?"

In his mind, the process of Jiang Luoli using that Black Flag gradually surfaced; one after another, dharma seals flashed before his eyes, and those dharma seals looked exceptionally profound.

It's just that...

"Forget it!"

"If I can't figure it out, I won't think about it for now!"

Lu Chuan shook his head vigorously, casting these complicated thoughts aside.

He knew that even if he knew the dharma seals Jiang Luoli used, it would be very difficult to complete them with his snake body; after all, he couldn't just conjure up a pair of hands out of thin air.

Gulp—

The next moment, Lu Chuan opened his mouth and swallowed the Golden Mace whole, temporarily storing it in the Swallowing Origin Space within his body, intending to explore its wonders when he had the chance later! And just at this moment, in the outside world.

In the sky over the Qinling Mountains, a human helicopter was hovering.

This helicopter had followed the nearby Beasts; it had originally intended to hunt the Beasts, but during the process, it saw a large number of Beasts acting peacefully and heading in the same direction, which left the people inside the cabin very puzzled.

At this time, a man in a suit inside the cabin stared at the Beasts running wildly below, a look of confusion on his face, "What on earth is happening down there?"

"Recently, most of the Beasts in the Qinling Mountains have been rushing toward this side, and even former natural enemies are minding their own business; it's truly bizarre!" "Could it be that a Beast King has been born?"

"But that doesn't seem right either..."

Seeing that no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't resolve the confusion in his heart, the man in the suit still wanted to know what the situation was, so he immediately decided to take a risk, "Follow these Beasts and see where they are going."

"Yes!"

Immediately, the helicopter flew in the direction the Beasts were heading, and not long after, it finally saw the black crack above Yixiantian Canyon.

At this time, the man in the suit looked down and saw the area below surrounded by Beasts watching the commotion, all gathered together.

This scene made his scalp tingle! Pop—

At the same time, a bright figure suddenly appeared from within that black Kongjianliefeng.

The man in the suit focused his eyes and saw a fire leopard emerge, and following closely behind the fire leopard was a giant snake.

Moreover, after this giant snake appeared, the surrounding Beasts all revealed expressions of terror, subconsciously retreating incessantly.

Wherever the giant snake passed, not a single Beast blocked the way, and no Beast dared to look directly into the giant snake's eyes.

By the looks of it, the Beasts were extremely afraid of this snake and leopard.

"This is... the Jianghai Snake King?"

On the helicopter, the man in the suit stared at the giant snake for a long time, and after seeing the other party's very majestic appearance, he suddenly exclaimed in shock, "It... how could it appear here?"

He had already recognized that the giant snake was Lu Chuan, the Jianghai Snake King, and for a moment, he was inexplicably terrified.

After all, it was rumored everywhere that the Jianghai Snake King had died in the last encirclement and suppression by the Changsheng Group, the Powerful Group, and other major clans and financial groups; now, the Jianghai Snake King's figure had indeed not been found in the Dali Mountains, so how could it appear in the Qinling Mountains?

For a moment, the man in the suit felt his hair stand on end, and a thought naturally arose in his heart—the intelligence of a Beast is truly unimaginable! "I really don't know how the Jianghai Snake King managed to escape from the encirclement and interception!"

Once the man in the suit thought of this, he even considered that the Jianghai Snake King might enter Jianghai City to take revenge because of the previous encirclement incident, which would surely cause a huge upheaval!

After realizing this, he immediately made a decision, "This matter must be reported to the military as soon as possible!"

"Currently, only the military has enough power to deal with a terrifying Beast like the Jianghai Snake King!"

"Besides, such a phenomenon has appeared in the Qinling Mountains; clearly, something major has happened, and we must send people to investigate it clearly!"

The man in the suit did not dare to stay in this place for long, and now that a large number of Beasts were gathered in the distance, he worried that if the other party discovered him, they would swarm up and tear him into pieces, so he immediately patted the pilot on the shoulder and said urgently, "Quick, leave this place immediately!"

"Run as fast as you can, we must go!"

"It seems I have been exposed!"

In fact, when Lu Chuan left that unique space, he quickly discovered the helicopter hovering like a small black dot in the distant sky, and at this moment, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

However, Lu Chuan wasn't actually too worried about this kind of thing; after all, the Qinling Mountains were vast, stretching for a thousand miles, and he could completely plunge into the mountains and vanish without a trace.

Furthermore, the treasure here had already been taken, so there was no need for him to continue staying in this place and exposing his whereabouts to humans!
