Chapter 22: The Bear of the Earth
Chen Tang had many guesses about what was in this huge cave, but it wasn't until he went deeper and saw the behemoth that he was shocked to find that his imagination was still too lacking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It seems nothing unusual for a bear to lie crouching in the depths of a cave. But if the beast hair on this bear's body is as dazzling as gold, and Enya's tall body is not as big as a bear's paw, it can explain Chen Tang's shock. At this time, the huge golden-haired bear did not seem to notice that someone was coming, and lay on its stomach in the cave, its body slightly undulating, as if it was sleeping.
"Earth Bear, the guardian beast of our beasts!" Enya said, her expression indescribably complex. Fear, worry, anticipation, and so on.
"Good...... What a big bear. Chen Tang couldn't help but sigh, he felt as if he had entered a fantasy world, and saw a creature that only existed in legends and fictions: "This is your guardian beast?
"It's the guardian beast of our beast clan! Back then, the Lord of Nebula came to our world and seized a vast island with unparalleled divine power. A branch of the orcs living on the island at that time...... That is, we, the [Cat Clan], were brought to the Nebula Shrine together with the Divine Beast Earth Bear. Miracle Island...... This is our home, those disgusting lizards and snake people...... The other aliens are all outsiders put in by the Lord of the Nebula. β
Enya's words surprised Chen Tang: "You are the aborigines of this miracle island, but I found that this island is vast and rich enough, why are there only a few of you left in the cat clan now?"
"We're already glad we didn't wipe out the clan!" Enya's expression finally revealed a hint of sadness and sorrow: "The reason why the Lord of Nebula seized our island is actually to capture the guardian beast [Earth Bear]. But though he can easily kill the Earth Bear, the Earth Bear can also hurt him. As long as the Earth Bear is still useful to him, the Lord of the Nebula will use us cats as a threat to kill us to force the Guardian Beast to submit. Over the years, although the divine beasts have been forced to succumb again and again, our cat clan has been slaughtered again and again, and the tribe that was originally thousands is now only fifty people left. β
Chen Tang's first thought was not to believe it, and he immediately asked his doubts: "We all have seen the strength of the Lord of Nebula, although it ...... Your Patronus Beast may be formidable, but I really can't understand how he can do harm to the Nebula Lord who can travel through the universe?"
Enya glanced at Chen Tang, as if she was rolling her eyes, and her charming expression made her heart beat faster.
"Let's say...... Humans can easily crush and kill a thumb-length viper, but if a human is accidentally bitten by a venomous snake, it can be fatal............ That's it. β
Chen Tang suddenly realized that it must be that the Earth Bear had some kind of power in it, which could inflict fatal damage on the almost invincible Nebula Lord. At the same time, my heart moved, and I couldn't help but feel a little heartbeatββββββ what if...... If the Earth Bear can hurt the Lord of the Nebula, it means that the Lord of the Nebula is not invulnerable. If you can know the weakness of the Lord of the Nebula, then wouldn't you be able to ......!
This thought was immediately buried deep in his heart, and Chen Tang didn't dare to guarantee that the Lord of the Nebula would have a strong spiritual power like Lao Lei and be able to see through people's hearts. If he perceives his thoughts, he doesn't know how to die.
The two had been talking for so long, but the Earth Bear was lying on his stomach in the cave and fell asleep, as if he didn't even know that anyone was approaching. This kind of unvigilant appearance really doesn't match the identity of its divine beast. Facing Chen Tang's doubts, Enya said with a hint of melancholy: "It's injured, it's very serious...... I don't even know if I'll be able to hold on. Because of this, before the Lord of the Nebula launched the gladiatorial trial against you humans, my sister and I had a quarrel over the future of the cat people. My sister thinks that the guardian beast will definitely die, and the cat clan should not bury him, but should choose to leave this place and form an alliance with other races...... Even she has agreed to unite with the Snake Clan Patriarch and put the Cat Clan under the Snake Clan. But I firmly oppose my sister's decision, the guardian beast is one with our beast clan, and since he is going to die eventually, then this will also be the fate of our cat clan. We can't defile the bloodline of the beast clan and unite with the filthy and disgusting snake clan in order to survive!"
Enya was a little excited, and she could tell that she was extremely disgusted with those ugly snake people.
"My sister and I couldn't convince anyone, and although we were twins, we had a bad relationship with each other since we were young. In the end, my angry sister even beat me up, and I could clearly perceive it at that time...... In order to survive, my sister has already killed me. Fortunately, it was at this time that the trial of the Lord of Nebula began, he randomly selected candidates from Miracle Island, and his sister was chosen by him, and then she died at your hands and never came back. Although you killed my only relative, you saved my life. "Obviously, what happened in the gladiatorial arena is known to the people of the entire Miracle Island, and it is not known that the Lord of the Nebula broadcast the footage to them at that time.
This is the cause and effect, Chen Tang knows it all. He was just about to say something, when suddenly the sleeping earth bear suddenly trembled all over, the golden beast hair seemed to glow with bursts of light, and an indescribable wave rippled out, and immediately, the earth shook.
Even so, the Earth Bear only rolled over and didn't wake up. Chen Tang finally saw the head buried in the bear's paws, and although his eyes were still closed, he could still see his painful expression. The trembling did not cease, and the earth shook more and more violently.
"Last time, the Lord of the Nebula extracted too much power from the Divine Beast, and it had already harmed his origin. The Earth Bear was already extremely weak, and now he didn't even have the ability to heal himself. Once he died, the aliens waiting outside would rush to the top of the mountain............ The whole body of the divine beast is a treasure, and it is an irresistible temptation for anyone. At that time, our cat clan will not be able to stop it at all, and we will only end up with the demise of the clan. β
Hearing Enya's explanation, Chen Tang suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but say: "That's why you're ready to form an alliance with us, because we have a three-month adaptation period, and other races don't dare to do anything to us during this time?"
"That's true. Enya replied calmly: "Of course I am using you, but there is nothing to lose for you. After all, in any case, after three months, you will immediately be the target of all the alien races. We might as well help our cat people through this time, and we'll pay enough for it. Even if we cats are attached to humans, it's fine. β
"I remember that your sister had the same thoughts, but you resisted it to death, why did you change your mind now?"
Enya replied very matterally, "Because the serpents are disgusting to look at, and you humans are not annoying. And you help each other, and you can even kill the two-headed demon wolf and my sister Lally through the cage without caring for yourself, and free your people. I think such a race will at least be more reliable than the ruthless snake people. β
The explanation is reasonable, but Chen Tang doesn't know why he is so suspicious, and he wants to continue to ask a few questions. Unexpectedly, a deep voice suddenly sounded in the cave: "Kitten go back to your village, those alien races under the mountain are ready to move, and your people need you." Humans, you stay, let's have a good talk between ourselves...... Before I die. β
The huge golden bear woke up at some point, raised its huge head, and said in a human voice.
Enya was visibly shocked by the words of the Earth Bear...... Although he realized that the injuries of the divine beast were very serious, he did not expect that it had really reached the point of falling. She wanted to say something, but out of respect for the beast, Enya still bowed respectfully on one knee, and then turned away obediently. Chen Tang immediately stopped her: "If there is any crisis, go to my clansmen for help, just say that it is my order, and they will help you." β
Enya nodded, thanked gratefully, and hurried down the mountain.
"Humans, you are the race I have seen for the first time since the day I was captured by the Lord of the Nebula, and they resemble the Lord of the Nebula. The Earth Bear spoke: "I don't know which world you come from, but the breath on your body tells me that your Terran has unlimited potential......
