<h4>Chapter 129 - 129 The monster in theke</h4>
''''Please mighty Lord Dragon, help us kill the monster that lives inside theke!''''
When Shun Long heard the vige chief''s request he couldn''t help asking
''''Why do they need to take care of a monster that lives in theke?''''
The ck dragon nodded his head as he asked this question to the vige chief, who then trembled as he responded honestly
''''Mightly Lord Dragon! Actually, the water from theke is greatly beneficial to the cultivation of our tribe members. After drinking just a little of it, a second stage warrior at the peak can advance to the third stage!''''
I would still be a third stage warrior if I hadn''t consumed theke''s water 200 years ago.
However... every time that our tribe tries to take some water from theke, we lose many of our warriors to that monster!''''
Excitement filled not only Shun Long''s, but little ck''s eyes as well. If the water could help with the cultivation of the half-fiend members, then it was probably another huge treasure on par with the ''Golden Jade spirit tree''.
However, Shun Long didn''t immediately ept the vige chief''s request, as he had little ck then ask him
''''How strong is that monster that lives inside theke?''''
When the vige chief heard this question, he couldn''t help take a few steps back. Then, after taking a deep breath he responded seriously
''''It... it has reached the 5th rank.''''
The 5th rank!
Shun Long sucked in a cold breath of air as he heard this.
This was a magic beast that was just as strong, if not stronger than the average early-stage Nascent soul expert.
Although little ck had already reached the middle stage of rank 4, he was still a rank 4 magic beast in the end. Although he could probably fight against an early rank 5 magic beast for a bit, he was unable to really kill one.
Little ck understood what Shun Long was thinking and said
''''Master, if it''s a rank 5 magic beast, then not just its beast core, but its entire body will be a treasure for us. I can definitely advance my strength as well if I can consume its flesh.''''
Shun Long however looked at the greedy ck dragon and asked
''''How confident are you that you can kill a rank 5 magic beast then?''''
Little ck thought seriously for a while and said
''''If we are talking about an early rank 5 magic beast... then about 20 percent. I''m also 50 percent certain of defeating it, and more than 80 percent certain of being able to run away if things look bad.''''
Shun Long thought seriously for a while before he nodded his head and said
''''Alright. There is also something that I want to try as well.''''
Seeing that Shun Long had agreed, little ck looked at the half-fiend members as he spoke in theirnguage.
The half-fiend vigers all looked ted as they kowtowed repeatedly on the ground and shouted
''''Aytuev vatyetu vtaytue!''''
''''Aytuev vatyetu vtaytue!''''
Little ck ignored the kowtowing vigers, as he then flew above their heads and directly arrived in front of the 30m(98ft) rank 4 ''Golden Jade spirit tree'', that was in front of the half-fiend vige entrance.
Grabbing the golden tree''s trunk with his talons, the 3m(10ft) tall little ck slowly uprooted the giant tree.
The half-fiend vigers looked at the ck dragon who was taking away the golden tree with excitement in their eyes.
Since he had already agreed to fight against the rank 5 magic beast inside theke, the vigers didn''t even think that little ck would try to trick them.
After storing the ''Golden Jade spirit tree'' inside the ''Stone of Time'', Shun Long looked at little ck and said
''''Since we don''t have anything else to do now, then let''s go to thatke. We can alwayse back and collect that mysterious iron from the half-fiend vigerster.''''
Little ck nodded his head and looking at the vige chief, he had him lead the way to theke.
The vige chief excitedly jumped up and gave some orders to the rest of the vigers, before he personally lead the way for little ck and Shun Long.
As they traveled deeper inside the forest, little ck noticed that the number of magic beasts in the surroundings had drastically decreased.
The half-fiend vige chief seemed to know exactly which path to take, so that they wouldn''t encounter any magic beasts on the way as well.
Finally, an hourter, their group had arrived in front of a hugeke with crystal blue waters.
The surroundings of theke were extremely peaceful and there didn''t seem to be a single animal around, let alone a magic beast.
The moment that they arrived in front of theke, little ck''s voice sounded inside Shun Long''s head as he warned gravely
''''Master, be careful!''''
At the same time as little ck''s voice sounded in his head, Shun Long saw a huge beast head emerging from the depths of theke.
A 25m(82ft) long magic beast that was shaped like a giant worm slowly revealed itself. The beast had 9 eyes spread on its face, while multiple tentacles were hanging from the sides of its body.
The half-fiend vige chief shivered as he saw the beast once again and stepped back as he hid behind a tree, while even Shun Long was stunned for a moment after seeing the beast.
The aura from this worm made it clear that this was truly an early rank 5 magic beast.
Looking at little ck who had already flown up in the sky, ready to fight against it, Shun Long warned
''''Little ck be careful! This is a rank 5 ''Nine-eyed giant worm''! Its tentacles have a paralyzing poison that can incapacitate even early rank 5 magic beasts.''''
The moment that Shun Long finished exining the ''Nine-eyed giant worm''s'' strengths, he immediately circted the ''Monarch''s Hourss'' as well as his golden eyes.
Then, turning his eyes to look at the rank 5 giant worm, he mumbled
''''Let''s see if this will really work.''''
