Chapter 328: Golden Divine Lion!

Xiao Ji and the others were stared at by Yang Tian for a while, their hearts growing uneasy. The fat man scratched his nest-like hair, muttering something unintelligible.

"That fat-headed little fellow has been planted with a tracking spell. If it exceeds a thousand li, the spell will lose its effect." At this moment, Yang Xiao calmed the turmoil in his heart and spoke slowly.

"I see!" Hearing this, Yang Tian's eyes lit up. His powerful soul energy surged as he probed the fat man's body.

"What's wrong?" Yang Tian's sudden action startled the fat man, whose plump face showed a hint of surprise. Though they hadn't known each other long, being pursued by the same person made it unlikely that Yang Tian would harm him.

"Wagalenguduliu..." Yang Tian immediately explained, but his strange language made Yang Ba's head ache.

"Damn it! I was wondering how those three old bastards had such sharp noses—they planted a tracking spell." The fat man grinned fiercely and began patting himself down.

"We can't let them off so easily. Let's think of a way to trick them!" Xiao Ji frowned, his bright eyes rolling as he spoke viciously.

The three: "Guliba kelou wa!"

Yang Ba: "..."

After discussing for a while, Yang Tian scanned the surroundings, then turned to Yang Ba and said, "Big brother, have you been here before?"

Hearing this, Yang Ba nodded. The memory was still fresh—he had once been chased by a terrifying creature with no escape, and only by activating the Great Void Command had he managed to survive.

"There's a fearsome great demon here, extremely powerful, about fifty li to the east." A trace of fear appeared on Yang Ba's face; he had nearly died when he accidentally wandered there before.

"Let's go." Yang Tian waved his hand, and the four of them moved swiftly toward the place Yang Ba had mentioned. Less than a quarter of an hour after they left, three old men arrived at the spot.

"Damn it! How could they have discovered it so quickly?!" Li Cheng's face was icy. He had locked onto the positions of Yang Tian and his group earlier, but they had moved again.

"Elder, they've only shifted a few hundred li at most. I suggest we split up—that way, they'll have a hard time escaping." At this moment, Li Long approached and offered a plan.

Glancing at Li Long, Li Cheng snorted coldly, showing little regard for him. Although Li Long had been severely injured and left with hidden ailments, Li Xuan's death was still tied to him.

Sensing the coldness, Li Long shrank back, a flash of venom passing through his eyes, but he dared not retort. His prestige within the clan had plummeted, and his status was no longer what it used to be.

"Elder, Li Long's idea isn't bad. Why not..." The old man beside him quickly mediated, knowing that following Li Cheng's method would take who knows how long to catch them.

"Fine. You two guard the flanks; I'll go ahead." After a moment of silence, Li Cheng snorted coldly and vanished from the spot.

This was a verdant mountain peak, with ancient vines gripping the ground as thick as coiled dragons. The essence of heaven and earth here was quite abundant.

Four figures rushed over rapidly, the ground rumbling and cracking beneath them. Yang Tian's eyes swept the area with some confusion—the place was beautiful and serene, hard to imagine hiding a fearsome beast.

But Yang Ba smiled mysteriously and gestured for them to quiet down. The group moved swiftly, speeding toward the mountaintop.

As they were about to step onto the summit, they slowed their pace, a look of shock in their eyes. Though they hadn't yet reached the top, even from here they could sense a terrifying aura spreading.

This aura was extremely frightening. Yang Tian's expression gradually turned solemn as he gazed at the summit, where he could see waves of surging blood energy distorting the void.

The group exchanged glances, and a hint of joy appeared on the fat man's face. They suppressed their auras with all their might and dashed toward the mountaintop.

As they neared their target, Yang Tian sensed a hair-raising presence, overwhelmingly domineering, with blood energy that shook the heavens—a truly terrifying creature.

The four cautiously reached the summit and crouched in a thicket, their eyes fixed ahead.

Before them was a vast open space, strewn with boulders and marked by many zhang-long footprints like ravines, a sight that stirred the heart.

Yang Tian clicked his tongue and looked forward, noticing a massive creature. Before him was a leg as thick as a pillar, covered in golden mane, each hair dazzling and brilliant.

This colossal beast was a hundred zhang in size, its body astonishing. It gleamed with golden radiance, as if cast from molten gold. The faint aura it emitted was overwhelmingly fierce.

Rumble! A sound like muffled thunder echoed through the sky, shaking the surrounding rocks. The giant creature breathed in and out, exhaling terrifying blood energy—it was snoring!

"This is a rare Golden Divine Lion!" Yang Tian couldn't help but exclaim. This was a powerful and unmatched beast, extremely fearsome, with a notorious reputation even in ancient times.

"If we could roast and eat it, we'd gain a lot of benefits," the fat man muttered, eager to devour it. The Golden Divine Lion was incredibly rare; its blood essence was formidable, and its flesh was a great tonic.

Hearing this, Yang Tian glanced at the fat man, marveling at his audacity. The beast was as large as a small mountain, its weight unknown.

"This Golden Divine Lion was sleeping last time too. I don't know what's going on." Yang Ba had no idea what the fat man was saying, but from his gleaming eyes, it couldn't be anything good.

"It's a female—she's given birth!" At this moment, Xiao Ji suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, a glint of heat in his eyes. This kind of beast was perfect as a war mount; it would be a terrifying asset for galloping across the outer realms in the future.

"There's a cave behind it!" Yang Tian noticed a cave entrance behind the Golden Divine Lion and exclaimed softly.

"There really are cubs! We're rich!" The fat man rubbed his hands excitedly, his nest-like hair nearly standing on end as he seemed ready to spring into action.

A flicker of excitement also crossed Yang Ba's eyes. This level of beast held great appeal for him.

"There are indeed two eggs inside, about to hatch, along with several rare treasures. Though this Golden Divine Lion is powerful, it's currently in a weakened state, so we can take them."

"Two eggs." Hearing this, Yang Tian clicked his tongue, exclaiming inwardly, a smile spreading across his face.

"Don't dawdle. The ones behind are coming. I can't reveal my identity now; it's all up to you." A slightly mocking voice sounded slowly at this moment.

Hearing this, Yang Tian was startled and quickly nudged the fat man, signaling him to start.

"Leave it to me." The fat man nodded, a serious expression on his face. This beast was no joke; waking it would cause big trouble.

At this moment, in the fat man's hand was an emerald-green formation plate, above which densely packed runes interwove, each rune forming a character, looking very strange.

"So this is a formation plate." Seeing it, a gleam appeared in Yang Tian's eyes. He had learned about such things during their conversation. Formation plates were extremely troublesome to refine, requiring terrifying materials.
