Chapter 702: Chapter 630: The Mutant Beast Will Never Be Enslaved

In the Mirage Mountain Range, high mountains stretched continuously, rising and falling.

The fog was dense, sunlight unseen, and ordinary people could easily lose their way within the mountains.

Tang Yu was confident that, with his current strength, flying through the Mirage Mountain Range no longer required extra care, but… even if he flew at full speed and had his perception fully open, finding a Second Tier Mutant Beast like the Single-Horned Giant Beast was still very difficult.

After so many previous explorations, he had only encountered the Single-Horned Giant Beast, a Second Tier Mutant Beast… Tang Yu guessed that this beast was probably more high-profile than others.

The five sovereigns of the Mirage Mountain Range fled towards the distance.

The True Fire Mystic Turtle laid down massive walls of fire as sturdy as mountain ranges, the Moving Mountain Rat pressed its claws into the air, and immediately, the ground shook as towering peaks became Stone Giants, their bodies blotting out the sky and hands reaching for Tang Yu and his companions.

The Swallowing Sky Giant Ape, Thunder Cloud Beast, and Single-Horned Giant Beast, all burned their Origin, releasing attacks powerful enough to shake space itself.

Their presence was overwhelming,

but they fled even faster,

casting aside any semblance of dignity befitting the sovereigns of the Mountain Range.

Tang Yu was shocked.

He had never thought that as soon as both sides took their positions, the other side would surrender.

The Mutant Beasts like the Single-Horned Giant Beast were not weak; if they truly fought desperately, they might not be without a chance of victory… Well, honestly, they had no chance.

Ice crystals condensed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, an area of several kilometers was covered in ice and snow, rapidly extinguishing the fire walls as thick as mountains.

On the other side,

Nancy slashed out purple sword lights tens of meters long, shattering the Stone Giants with each strike.

Soon, they turned into streaks of light and chased after them.

“Slow down, just maintain a sense of urgency.”

The Mutant Beasts seemed flustered but were purposeful.

Tang Yu couldn’t help but wonder if they had reinforcements?

Creatures like the Single-Horned Giant Beast naturally benefited from increasing numbers… or perhaps, their reliance was on some Forbidden Land?

There were indeed dangerous places within the Mirage Mountain Range, but none posed a threat to Second Tier beings.

The Mutant Beasts like the Single-Horned Giant Beast flew at full speed.

Before long,

a gigantic mountain peak that pierced the clouds appeared before their eyes.

They were flying at a height of several hundred meters, which seemed merely at the foot of the gigantic mountain.

The Single-Horned Giant Beast stirred up a current of air.

The five Second Tier Mutant Beasts ascended, rushing towards the mountaintop.

The fog, like layers of gauze, collided with them and was quickly left behind.

The higher they went, the sparser the vegetation became until the bare mountainside gradually became covered in snow, and cold winds howled past.

The increasingly dense fog obscured their vision, and they could only follow the beasts closely with their perception.

Suddenly,

after passing through layers of mist, the scene before them cleared.

They had reached the summit of the mountain.

In the middle of the mountaintop sat a huge lake, gleaming like a silver mirror. Around the lake was vibrant greenery interspersed with numerous brightly-colored flowers, a dazzling sight.

Tang Yu also noticed with sharp eyes that many rare herbs grew around Silver Mirror Lake like wild grass.

The temperature at the top of the mountain was abnormally warm, not at all cold, growing warmer the closer they were to the lake.

The beasts like the Single-Horned Giant Beast stopped above the lake.

“Oho!”

The huge roar caused the calm surface of the lake to ripple in waves.

“White Snake Emperor, save us!”

No sooner had the roar spread when more and more waves appeared on the lake.

Whoosh!

A water column shot into the sky and a gigantic, building-sized silver-white head emerged from the surface.

A pair of golden vertical pupils swept across the beasts and humans present.

A cold aura spread out.

The Mirage Mountain Range sovereigns like the Single-Horned Giant Beast halted their flowing aura for a moment, their eyes showing reverence.

The White Snake Emperor!

The true Sovereign of the Mirage Mountain Range, a Transcendent Third Tier being!

The Single-Horned Giant Beast was well aware that even if the five of them joined forces, they were no match for the White Snake Emperor. It was only because the White Snake Emperor had remained reclusive in the Heavenly Pool for centuries without taking a single step out that they dared to call themselves the sovereigns of the Mirage Mountain Range.

It felt a bit frightened at heart.

The White Snake Emperor disliked being disturbed the most. Although they were safe for now, it would surely endure a beating afterwards, right?

The Transcendent Third Tier’s momentum surged towards Tang Yu and his companions.

Tang Yu’s expression grew solemn; a Third Tier entity was not to be underestimated by any means.

The White Snake before them may only have had the aura of the Basic Period of the Third Tier, but judging by its size and bloodline, its Combat Power was definitely strong, at least… it was more than enough to overwhelm the Pope on the Aino continent.

Nancy appeared in front of him in a flash, her Great Sword aglow with a purple brilliance.

Eileen raised the Holy Artifact Magic Wand, and a projection of the Eternal Frozen Soil faintly appeared in the sky.

Grey Blade, Kong, Red Moon, and the others unleashed their auras without reservation.

Coalescing into a single force.

Boom!

The clashing auras from both sides caused a terrifying hurricane to form and sweep across the entire lake, stirring up waves upon waves.

The Single-Horned Giant Beast grew somewhat panicked.

Looking on, the White Snake Emperor… didn’t seem certain to win against these humans?

The female human with the Great Sword at the forefront bore a particularly dangerous aura—it was very likely she was even stronger than the young man!

The giant projection in the sky also gave it an oppressive feeling.

Things were looking unfavorable.

It was becoming breathless.

Standoff between both sides, tensions high, the atmosphere grew increasingly fraught.

“Human beings…”

Spiritual power transformed into a cold voice that spread, and the White Snake Emperor spoke indifferently, “State your purpose for coming here—”

Tang Yu thought for a moment.

He intended to bluff, but… in front of the Domain Level White Snake Emperor, writing checks with one’s mouth was useless, as the truth could be discerned at a glance.

He had already prepared himself to persuade through physical means.

The Mutant Beast was uncooperative? A good beating would do.

Therefore,

He took out the “Contract” he had prepared in advance.

Written in rune script, one glance with spiritual power would make it understandable.

The Single-Horned Giant Beast burst into a rage, “Despicable humans, we Mutant Beasts will never be slaves!”

Wait,

All-inclusive board?

Five-star perks?

Memories passed down from its ancestors, distant fragments from long ago, surged forward in its mind.

Apparently, the world of humans was wonderful.

Their ancestors ate the finest grass, lay in the softest beds.

There were even rumors of an amazing one-stop service, from scale cleaning to dental hygiene… just thinking about it was exciting.

If it was truly all-inclusive, perhaps it wasn’t such a bad idea.

“Wait, we have Bloodline Restrictions, we can’t leave the Mirage Mountain Range!”

The Single-Horned Giant Beast’s expression grew dark, but then it saw the appendix to the ‘Contract’.

By signing a Contract with a descendant of the Origin Star, Bloodline Restrictions could be lifted.

“???”

The very thing it most desired had now appeared so suddenly before its eyes.

The surprise was too abrupt.

What had it been running for its life for, then?

I’ll sign; I sign!

With such a handsome and dashing master, what resistance could it possibly have?!

…

A few seconds passed after the ‘Contract’ was presented.

Tang Yu was about to put away the contract and convince with the fist of love…

Suddenly,

Pia~

A spiritual imprint stamped onto the Contract.

Then came a second, and a third, as if they feared there was a limit to how many could sign up.

Counting them up, one, two, three, four, five, six.

Even the White Snake Emperor, who seemed quite formidable with a ‘big boss high and cold.jpg’ air, took the chance while other beasts were distracted and quietly placed its own imprint.

Tang Yu: “…”

This is undermining my sense of achievement, folks!
