The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1290 - 1289: Lion Mountain Lion King

"The boss is really stingy, but with clothes this good, I wouldn't want to wear them even if I did get them."Liu Yu didn't insist, nor did he think about taking away someone else's cherished item.

"Boss, is it still far from the mountain top? I'm starting to feel a bit uneasy."

If Liu Yu says something's wrong, then it's really not right. Soon after, the earth shook, causing Tang Rao and everyone else to panic.

"Boss, is it an earthquake?"

As the world shook, Liu Yu barely managed to steady himself, grabbing onto Tang Rao in distress.

"It's the Demon Beast tide, here again!"

Tang Rao felt like crying. They had just taken off their invisibility cloaks, and the beast tide had arrived again, drawn by the good quality of road Tang Rao had found.

"Put on the cloaks and get to the treetops!"

Tang Rao quickly climbed to the treetops, holding his breath and staying silent.

Liu Yu didn't react as quickly as Tang Rao; with the beast tide coming, he hadn't even managed to put on his cloak properly.

"Boss, I'm done for, take care!"

Liu Yu was overwhelmed by the beast tide. Tang Rao rushed, releasing the Purple Crystal Beast, whose formidable size and claw strength deterred all the beasts.

"Be safe."

The Purple Crystal Beast held back the beasts, while Tang Rao seized the chance to grab Liu Yu, put on the invisibility cloak, and hid behind a stone, breath held.

The Purple Crystal Beast returned to Tang Rao's Little World, its power unmatched. The other beasts didn't even notice it leaving, disappearing without a trace.

"I nearly died, scared to death!"

Liu Yu's heart nearly jumped out; he thought he was as good as dead, about to be devoured by the beasts.

"Shh, do you want to die?"

Tang Rao communicated with Liu Yu using a sound transmission feature.

When the beasts reached their side, they went into frenzy, unable to see these people, like prey suddenly escaping after days of hunting.

"There are so many beasts, if they're staying here and we try to leave, we'll surely be discovered, right?"

Well, isn't this obvious?

"The beasts are getting closer!"

Liu Yu watched as the beasts approached their direction, his feet firmly planted on the ground.

"Don't worry, just wait a moment longer."

But the beasts showed no intention of leaving, getting even closer to Tang Rao than before.

Just when one was within a step from Tang Rao, he punched out, knocking the beast to the ground.

His speed was too quick, rendering the beast blind to his movements.

"Here!"

Although they couldn't see Tang Rao, his movement was felt by the beasts.

"Wanna find Grandpa Tang, then let's play."

Tang Rao's speed was unmatched, his strikes accurate. Several waiting beasts were wiped out in seconds.

Fortunately, the previous batch of beasts had moved on, otherwise Tang Rao would've struggled with their entanglement.

"Boss, I've never seen such cooperative beasts before. Aren't they supposed to fight over territory or food? Why are they so united? It's weird."

"You notice the abnormality too? I suspect we'll find answers if we go up."

The mountain top might have answers for Tang Rao, fueling his interest in proceeding.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

Liu Yu relied on Tang Rao for advice, Tang Rao being his anchor.

"Let's go up, what else can we do?"

It's already a matter of riding a tiger and being unable to get down safely; not advancing means waiting to be killed by the beasts.

Upon reaching the mountain top, Tang Rao was surprised by the eerie calmness; something seemed off.

"Seven-colored dragon, oh seven-colored dragon."

Tang Rao sang as he searched for the Seven-colored Dragon.

The big lion seemed to be absent here; Tang Rao couldn't sense its presence at all.

"Roar!"

Damn!

Tang Rao wasn't scared to death.

Just as he mentioned the big lion was absent, a loud roar came, startling him greatly.

"Big lion!"

Wow, they were scared stiff; this delayed surprise was too much for Tang Rao.

"Kids, I thought you wouldn't make it to the mountain top, but you've arrived after all."

The big lion's eyes gleamed with wisdom; it had known Tang Rao would come, waiting patiently for him to fall into its trap.

"You're impressive, knowing we'd come, huh?"

The big lion didn't attack directly, so Tang Rao cheerfully conversed with it, maintaining a friendly demeanor.

"This is Lion Mountain, what could the Lion King possibly not know?"

Lion Mountain, Lion King—if it were a child speaking, Tang Rao would think someone from Blue Star who had watched The Lion King was reminiscing their childhood.

"Of course, of course, you're the Lion King; I'm the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the Monkey King. While you're absent, I'm the toughest around, hahaha."

Tang Rao grinned like the simpleton son of a landlord.

"Since you're here, leave everything you have and your life behind. Leaving like this would be too unfortunate."

The Lion King was arrogant, getting to the point straightaway, negotiating terms with Tang Rao.

"No, no, I won't just give you my stuff without a fight; it'd be too much of a loss!"

While talking, Tang Rao surveyed the terrain. As he expected, the mountain top had a flatland with a large hole guarded by the Lion King, preventing Tang Rao from approaching or seeing what's inside.

At this moment, a bold idea formed in his mind.

"This surely holds a big surprise?"

He said it to himself, unable to let the Lion King sense his ambition.

"Fight? Hahaha, I haven't seen such arrogant youth in ages. Want to duel? Then I, as an elder, shall educate you on the ways of the world."

The lion moved like a swift wind, and Tang Rao was instantly at its feet.

One stomp and Tang Rao could lose his life immediately.

"Youngster, merely at middle god-stage, you're far from a match for me."

Tang Rao was shocked by the Lion King's power.

If he guessed right, the Lion King's strength rivaled or surpassed the Purple Crystal Beast's.

Should he release the Purple Crystal Beast to battle the Lion King? What if it's instantly defeated and the Lion King summons its subordinates, Tang Rao would be fighting a losing battle, with no chance of victory in the war.

"Lion King, has it come to you dealing with mere little ones? This isn't your usual style."

Just then, an elderly voice emerged from the hole Tang Rao had noticed earlier.

As the voice spoke, the Lion King's pressure noticeably lightened.

"Who are you to meddle? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?"

The Lion King erupted furiously at the voice.
