BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161 - Caught
Chapter 161: Caught
??
He was personally assigned by the city lord of Dark Moon City this time. The reason had to be traced back to a month ago.
At that time, Ma Qing fled back to Dark Moon City City with Yi Wu. They saw the beast king of Dark Moon City City, and Yi Wu actually took the opportunity to seduce him.
Now that the beast king doted on Yi Wu, the two of them were in a heated relationship.
Ma Qing, on the other hand, had lost the trust of the main city’s temple because he had failed two missions in a row.
Not only was he punished, but he also lost the right to become the high priest of the Dark Moon Temple.
Now that the position of the high priest had been occupied by a brat, Ma Qing could only continue to be his divine servant. His status in the Dark Moon Temple had become very awkward.
Not long ago, Yi Wu had received news from somewhere that a huge crystal mine was hidden under the mountains in the east.
The beast king was very interested and planned to send someone to mine. The Dark Moon Temple needed someone to supervise it, so Ma Qing was assigned the task.
That was what led to today’s events.
...
Ma Qing was very annoyed.
The reason why he brought Yi Wu back to Dark Moon City was that he liked the fact that she could use Fox Fragrance. This secret technique that could bewitch male beasts could have unexpected effects even when used repetitively.
Unexpectedly, Yi Wu was very ambitious. She had just arrived in Dark Moon City and had already hooked up with the Beast King.
Now that she had the Beast King as her backer, her status rose.
On the other hand, not only did he not get the position of high priest of the temple, but he was also sent to this lousy place to mine!
He was really aggrieved!
Ma Qing was angry and shouted at the snake beasts, “Why are you so slow? Hurry up! If the mineral vine isn’t dug out before dark, you’ll all be punished!”
The snake beasts were actually quite annoyed.
They were guards, not slaves. Why should they be ordered around?!
Although Ma Qing had been sent here to supervise in name, everyone knew very well that he had been sent here by the temple.
He had already fallen to this state, but he still dared to be so arrogant!
However, due to the beast king’s orders, they could only suppress their anger and continue working.
They secretly thought that if there was a chance, they would definitely teach Ma Qing a lesson!
The mine was quickly dug out. Ma Qing casually pointed at a snake beast.
“Go down and take a look first!”
The snake beast crawled into the mine. Not long after, they heard a miserable scream!
All the beasts were shocked.
Then, a huge dark green claw stretched out of the mine.
They didn’t know what animal the claw belonged to. It was two meters long, and its sharp claws were stained with blood.
“W-What monster is this?!” Ma Qing’s expression changed drastically.
The huge claw reached out of the mine before the creature forced out its long, sharp head. Its head was covered in fine dark green scales. Its black eyes narrowed into vertical lines as it stared at Ma Qing and the snake beasts.
This monster’s head alone was more than three meters long.
They couldn’t imagine how huge it would be if it came out completely.
What was even more terrifying was that Ma Qing sensed the aura of a high-level soul beast from it.
However, because the other party was too strong, Ma Qing didn’t even know how many stars it had.
Ma Qing was terrified and quickly retreated. “Stop it! Don’t let it out!”
The snake beasts were also very afraid, but they could not disobey orders. They could only brace themselves and charge forward, trying to force this huge monster back into the cave.
The monster was huge and could send those snake beasts flying with a casual slap.
However, it seemed to be stuck in the mine and could not squeeze out the back half of its body. As long as the snake beasts were a little further away, it could not do anything to them.
Ma Qing’s sharp eyes noticed this. He immediately ordered the snake beasts to retreat and get them to bring rocks over to smash the monster’s head!
The monster’s skin and scales were very thick. The stones could not injure it, but it would hurt.
It wanted to tear those annoying snake beasts apart, but the other party was too far away and its claws could not hook them.
It became very irritable. Its claws smashed the ground until it trembled, and it suddenly roared.
“You guys are courting death. Get lost!”
When Xue Ling, who was watching from afar, heard this roar, his expression changed slightly. “This voice… Could it be him…”
Bai Di glanced at him. “Who is it?”
“That voice sounds familiar. It might be an old acquaintance. I’ll fly over and see what’s going on.”
With that, Xue Ling spread his wings and quickly flew down the mountain.
When he saw the besieged monster, he immediately looked relieved.
“So it’s him!”
Ma Qing pointed at the monster and shouted, “Smash his eyes!”
The snake beasts immediately wrapped their tails around the boulders and threw them at the monster’s eyes!
At this moment, a fiery red figure descended from the sky and swept all the stones back!
The snake beasts couldn’t dodge in time and were bruised by the rocks.
Xue Ling stopped above the monster and smiled. “Long time no see, old buddy!”
The monster looked up at him and said coldly, “So it’s you. Why are you here?”
“Just passing by.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to start chatting, Ma Qing immediately ordered his men to continue attacking. “Kill them!”
Xue Ling glanced at him. “Tsk, you’re really annoying!”
Flames appeared on his fingertips. With a sudden wave, the originally green grass immediately burned!
Snake beasts were afraid of heat to begin with. After being burned like this, they were almost roasted.
They hurriedly retreated and escaped the sea of fire.
Ma Qing did not dare to approach the sea of fire. He could only stare at Xue Ling from afar, his eyes filled with hatred. “It’s you again!”
Xue Ling smiled strangely. “I heard that baboons’ brains are especially delicious, especially when they’re roasted alive. They taste especially good. I’m suddenly interested in trying out the delicacy today.”
With that, he flew towards Ma Qing!
Ma Qing turned around and fled!
In the distance, Bai Di, Huanhuan, and the others were surprised to see Xue Ling and Ma Qing fighting.
Huanhuan said slowly, “Didn’t we agree to wait and see? Why did he attack first?”
Bai Di didn’t know exactly what was going on between Xue Ling and Ma Qing, but since they were already fighting, they couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
He turned to Mayne behind him and said, “Help take care of Huanhuan. I’ll help Xue Ling.”
Mayne quickly agreed. “Okay!”
Bai Di transformed into a white tiger and pounced on Ma Qing!
Ma Qing had nowhere to escape. He could only call for help from the snake beasts.
However, the snake beasts acted as if they did not see it. They ran quickly and disappeared.
Ma Qing was alone and helpless.
