At the moment the head entered the Great Mountain range, from the shrubs, on the giant trees, in the river...

In several places, Demon Beasts suddenly sprang out, eager to seize the head emanating a bloody aroma on the ground. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As all eyes gathered on the earth, the enormous white head drew all the Demon Beasts’ attention. Instantly, their initially greedy and longing expressions transformed into terror, their pupils continuously dilated as if witnessing something horrific.

In an instant, birds scattered and beasts fled in all directions, causing the Great Mountain to tremble.

Close to the mountain edge, a dilapidated cave housed a pangolin Demon Beast in secluded cultivation.

The pangolin Demon Beast, with very low attack capability but incredibly high defense, relied on its formidable defensive strength to live a very long time, coupled with its inherently peaceful disposition, making other Demon Beasts in the mountain rarely provoke them.

The scales of this pangolin in the cave shimmered with a color reminiscent of yellow soil.

Suddenly, it heard a sound as if the earth and mountains were shaking, mixed with countless beast roars, abruptly breaking its seclusion state. It dashed out of the cave, loudly shouting, "What is all this noise? Is the Great Mountain about to collapse?"

This pangolin could speak.

Upon emerging, a giant white head greeted it.

This head was about half the size of the pangolin’s body.

Instantly, the pangolin fell to the ground, bowing and continuously kowtowing.

"Mighty White Ape, it is my ignorance not recognizing Mount Tai, colliding with you, I beg for your forgiveness?!"

The White Ape’s reputation was exceptionally prominent within the Great Mountain, characterized by strong prowess and brutal nature. Passing dogs also got kicked a couple of times; when pangolins like this encountered a White Ape, they would avoid it if possible. This time, daring to speak to the White Ape like this, they must kowtow to calm down the White Ape’s anger.

After a few kowtows, the pangolin sensed something was amiss, swiftly lifting its head, only to see the terrified white head stopped right in front of it.

The sudden scene startled the pangolin greatly, causing it to instinctively retreat several steps.

Only then did it realize, this was merely a lifeless head.

"Oh, it’s just a head?!" It breathed a sigh of relief, but next moment, the fear within it magnified again, "Who? Who has the ability in the Great Mountain to chop off the White Ape’s head?"

Seeing the White Ape was dead, directly calling its name without the ’Mighty’ suffix.

This indeed was shocking to the Demon Beasts.

The White Ape, a ruler within the Great Mountain, yet now its head was chopped off as if a ball, rolling continuously upon the ground; had it not collided with it, it might keep rolling further.

At this moment, a bird swooped past the top of the pangolin’s head.

Instantly, a surge of yellow Spiritual Qi erupted from its body, exponentially increasing the gravity nearby, akin to the Divine Techniques used by King Mountain, albeit far more powerful.

The flying bird instantly fell to the ground.

"Speak, what exactly happened?"

The captured bird chirped incessantly, endlessly expressing itself, finally allowing the pangolin to comprehend the course of events.

"Unexpectedly, a character emerged in the village near the Great Mountain, under two years old yet capable of slaying the fierce Beast White Ape with a single strike!"

The pangolin’s words carried a trace of incredulity, momentarily unable to accept it.

"I recall closing off for less than half a year, not a hundred years?! And yet such a human emerged!"

Although the cultivation speed of humans was far quicker compared to Demon Beasts, it couldn’t be that fast!

Under two years, casually slaughtering the domineering White Ape of the Great Mountain? Even if a prodigy, it shouldn’t be like this?!

"Living for so long, never witnessed such a person? Especially in such a remote place!"

Contemplating momentarily, the pangolin promptly made a decision.

"No, our kind of Demon Beasts mostly seclude themselves. If not for the White Ape’s head coincidentally rolling here, I probably wouldn’t know about this event."

"If other kin when finished seclusion, inadvertently bump into this human, a single misstep could spell their end?"

"Must disseminate this matter, letting all Demon Beasts of the Great Mountain be aware of it!"

Decision made.

A surge of yellow Spiritual Qi emerged from the pangolin’s body. Following that, its entire physique merged into the yellow soil, disappearing from the site.

Due to the pangolin’s decision, a legend about a human prodigy child later emerged within the Great Mountain.

Moreover, some Demon Beasts turned it into a terrifying tale to frighten disobedient young beasts, defying Heavenly Principles!

...

Deep within the Great Mountain.

In the bamboo forest, blood-red mist perpetually pervades every moment, in the deepest part of the bamboo forest, a blood-red lake where Demon Bones and Demon Blood endlessly pour into.

The Bear General and Tiger General beasts dutifully guard the place of the Snake King’s slumber, without a hint of neglect.

However.

The moment Xu Ran awakened, the previously tranquil cave of the Snake King’s slumber suddenly erupted with a sky-rushing blood-red mist. Subsequently, the entire lake began boiling, as if cooked, emitting wave after wave of blood-red mist.

For a moment, the sight of all Demon Beasts here was obscured by mist, rendering invisible every scene.

"Ah---"

"Ah---"

"Ah---"

And those low cultivation beasts guarding the lakeside transformed into a pool of blood upon contact with the mist, slowly flowing into the lake.

The mist came swiftly and went swiftly.

Upon visibility restoration, seeing the originally beast-filled lake, only Tiger General, Bear General, and Jackal, Wolf, Tiger, Leopard four Guardians remained, the rest all converted to blood flowing into the lake.

"This..."

The Jackal Guardian watched horrifyingly at this scene before them, clueless on what had happened, mistakenly thinking they had incurred the Snake King’s wrath.

The remaining three Guardians were similarly bewildered, all kneeled toward the Snake King’s sleeping cave.

"Calm your wrath, Snake King! Calm your wrath, Snake King!"

The Snake King did not respond, falling silent once again.

"Rise up, it’s not because of you." Bear General gazed at the kneeling four Guardians, softly spoke.

Next moment, it and Tiger General simultaneously looked toward the direction of Great Wilderness Border Village.

"The movement of the Snake King just now, probably originated from that direction, precisely where previously a human awakened a Special Constitution!" Tiger General gazed in that direction, murmuring.

Bear General nodded, "Indeed, the recent stirring of the Snake King was triggered from that direction, perhaps? The awakening of that human’s Special Constitution, could potentially accelerate the Snake King’s awakening progress?!"

Suddenly, Bear General and Tiger General revealed starlit eyes.

For these two beasts, the Snake King’s awakening was of utmost importance, naturally, anything accelerating the Snake King’s awakening was equally prime, even speculation sufficed to take such risks.

Tiger General, "It must be, the aura just detecting, unprecedentedly unseen before, likely an extremely rare Special Constitution, only such could startle the sleeping Snake King."

Having said that, Tiger General was already itching to move. Although its primary task was guarding the Snake King, ensuring its secure awakening, being a Demon Beast, especially a competitive Tiger Demon, it longed to exercise prowess but hindered by the situation thus far.

Now, finally having an opportunity, naturally elated.

Bear General understood Tiger General well, nodded and said, "In that case, you Tiger General capture that human and offer him to the Snake King."

"If that White Ape has already slain him, then bring the corpse along with the White Ape back."
