C14 The mysterious Xiao Qiang

"What is it?"

"It's a little demon beast that looks like a horse or deer. The last time I came, it was still very small and was drinking the Black Gold Ape's blood."

Hearing that, the figure of Black Gold Ape suddenly appeared in Guo Nan's mind. When chasing after him, he noticed that the little finger on Black Gold Ape's left hand seemed to be missing a bit. Moreover, on Black Gold Ape's abdomen, there was a scar the size of a bucket …

"As you can see, there's nothing here. I need to get back to Changyang City, can I go now? " Guo Nan asked.

"Sorry, please do as you please."

Zhao Qingling dodged to the side, and looked deeply at Guo Nan.

Guo Nan cupped his fists and left, he ran into the forest and quickly ran towards the pond where Black Gold Ape's corpse was.

"The legendary demon beasts that use blood to nurture their bodies, to be able to do that, they must be the top demon beasts on this continent! In my previous life, I had never come across that kind of thing. It can't be that I was so lucky, and let me meet it at Demon Beast Mountain Range, right? "

Guo Nan ran to the side of the Black Gold Ape's corpse in anticipation. On the belly of the huge beast, the scars were very obvious.

"Monstrous Beasts that use blood to nourish their bodies find a huge monster to suck in their blood. In the later stages, they will enter the body of the huge monster and suck in its essence and blood until the monster dies."

"From the looks of it, that little beast must have drilled into the belly of the Black Gold Ape."

Guo Nan slashed Black Gold Ape's abdominal cavity dozens of times with his sword, and fresh blood surged out. A strange-shaped demon beast drilled out with blood all over its body.

It was shaped like a horse, shaped like a deer, with a tail like a cow's tail, a back covered with multicolored fur, and a stomach with short yellow hair. Its head was that of a snake, but it had two horns, and its hair on its temples was like steel needles.

"What the hell is this?"

Guo Nan was secretly shocked, this thing, even in his previous life, he had never seen someone capable like the Wucheng Mainland! In all the books about demonic beasts, there were no such weird demonic beasts …

When the small beast saw Guo Nan, it cried out a few times, turned and jumped into the water. After swimming a few rounds, it climbed back up, shook off the water on its body, and walked towards Guo Nan.

Guo Nan's body tensed up, he took out his sword and remained alert.

The little beast walked to Guo Nan's side and cried out a few times, revealing a happy expression. It intimately rubbed its head against Guo Nan's feet, just like a dog …

However, its eyes continued to stare at Guo Nan's pinky, licking its tongue from time to time, showing a greedy expression.

"Kid, you want to suck my blood?" Guo Nan was shocked.

The little beast understood Guo Nan's words and hurriedly nodded, then intimately rubbed his leg again.

Guo Nan laughed bitterly: "You can understand my words?"

The little beast nodded its head. Its pair of large black eyes were extremely adorable.

"Alright, I'll let you drink some, but not too much. I can't stand it." Guo Nan bit his left pinky and crouched down, bringing it to the beast's mouth.

The little guy quickly opened its mouth and sucked it up, its tail wagging very quickly. The blood in Guo Nan's body was quickly flowing away.

After a few breaths, his expression became somewhat ugly. Seeing Guo Nan's expression, the little beast unwillingly let go of his lips.

"Damn, you really can eat! I was almost sucked to death by you!" Guo Nan laughed and scolded, the little beast wagged its tail in grievance, its eyes revealing an apologetic look.

"Strange, I've never seen a demonic beast like you that can communicate with spirits in two lifetimes."

The little beast proudly raised its head.

"You were the one who controlled that Black Gold Ape to chase after me, right?"

The little beast blinked its eyes, not daring to admit to its appearance.

"Why did you suck my blood?" Guo Nan asked.

The little beast cried out, unable to answer such a difficult question.

"Is it because of my five meridians cultivation? Could it be that you are a fifth tier demon beast too? " Guo Nan asked again.

The little beast nodded her head fiercely and rubbed Guo Nan's head.

Guo Nan stood up and laughed: "If you don't drink my blood often, I can take you away. I can't take it anymore. "

The little beast walked around Guo Nan a few times, and its cries of excitement could be heard.

"Alright, let's go."

Guo Nan took the lead as the little fellow hopped up and down following him.

"Kid, how about I give you a name? I don't know what type of demon beast you are, but I keep on having the feeling that you'll be very strong when you grow up.

The little beast shook its head. It would not agree to such an unpleasant name.

"Hahahaha, I'll just call you Xiao Qiang. This name suits you very well."

No matter how much the little fellow objected, the name 'Xiao Qiang' had already been decided.

After walking for a dozen or so kilometers, he quickly reached the border of Li Tangguo and the Zhao Song. Guo Nan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Zhao Qingling revealed a cold smile. Beside her, there were two middle-aged men wearing armor, their auras were extremely strong.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen of Zhao Song Royal Guards, who were in the fourth to sixth stages of the Origin Gathering Stage, surrounded Guo Nan.

"Zhao Qingling, what do you mean by that?" Guo Nan saw that the situation was bad and asked angrily.

"The famous and famous Young Master Nan of Li Tangguo, isn't like the rumors in the outside world. However, you better be sensible and hand that little beast to me. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you die in Demon Beast Mountain Range. " Zhao Qingling mocked coldly.

"Aren't you afraid that my grandfather will lead troops to attack the Zhao Song?"

"The reputation of the Fenyang King is illustrious. Because of that, I let you go. If you don't know how to appreciate favors and kill you here, who would be able to track you down? When you go back to the Changyang City, I will have someone prepare a gift for you and deliver it to the Prince Guo's Mansion.

Zhao Qingling looked at the little beast beneath Guo Nan, and said indifferently: "I discovered this little fellow first. I've waited for an entire four years, and have come to visit once every year. It was my mistake to let you take advantage of me this time. I'm determined to get it, so you'd better give it up. "

Facing these dozens of experts that were unable to fight back, Guo Nan's mind raced, but he realized that he could only do as Zhao Qingling said if she wanted, to live.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll lead troops to attack Zhao Song when I return?" Guo Nan said fiercely.

"As a neighbouring country, you think we don't know about the situation in Changyang City? The Guo Family was busy, how could she have the time to attack the Zhao Song? Moreover, the Demon Beast Mountain Range is a natural moat, you won't be able to reach it. " Zhao Qingling sneered.

Guo Nan squinted his eyes and looked around. He realized that he couldn't win against anyone.

He squatted down and rubbed the little beast's head. Then he whispered, "Xiao Qiang, I can't protect you. Be careful."

"Master, don't worry. I will catch up to you. Leave first."

A childish voice sounded in Guo Nan's mind.

Guo Nan's face changed, and thought: You can talk to me?

"I'm still young, so using my spiritual sense to communicate takes a lot of effort. They can't trap me, so I can follow your aura and catch up to you. "

"Alright."

Guo Nan was perturbed. This kind of mystical demon beast, when it grew up, was definitely an incomparably terrifying existence. If it didn't break out of the encirclement and chase after him, and return to the Changyang City, no matter what happens, he would let the old man lead his troops to attack the Zhao Song and snatch it back.

"Young Master Nan, is that enough? "Don't waste your time, you can't play any tricks." Zhao Qingling urged.

"B * tch, just you wait, I'll make you submit to me sooner or later!" Guo Nan secretly thought, looked at Zhao Qingling sinisterly, and got up to leave.

When he reached a distance, he turned around and saw that Xiao Qiang had already been put into an iron cage. Zhao Qingling and the rest were walking towards the Zhao Song.

"F * ck, they stole something from me, but no one can live on peacefully."

Guo Nan scolded, he did not want to stay any longer, there was not much time left, he had to hurry back.

Three days later, he descended the mountain and saw a Yang An in the distance with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing Guo Nan's appearance, Yang An's face revealed a happy expression, his heart that was hanging in his throat had finally dropped to his stomach.

It just so happened to be the agreed ten days! If he was half a day late, he wouldn't have been able to catch up to the little crown prince and the arranged battle with the Qin family.

"Young Master, you've finally figured it out. Has the progress been successful?" Yang An asked with concern.

Guo Nan nodded, laughed, then looked towards the direction of the Demon Beast Mountain Range with a worried expression: "Let's wait a little longer."

"Waiting for what? It's too late! "

"Let's wait for another half a day, then we'll ride back quickly."

Guo Nan did not mount the horse. Although Yang An was anxious, he did not say much.

He thought to himself: "The Young Master has completely changed. In ten days of time, I won't be able to level up to the eighth level of the Origin Gathering Stage no matter what, and I won't be able to win the battle with Qin Sheng. But Young Master, as long as you work hard in your cultivation and protect Fenyang City's five hundred thousand Guo Family Army, your Highness's foundation, will be completely fine."

Time passed minute by minute, second by second, as Guo Nan's face revealed an anxious look.

He looked at Yang An and asked: "Uncle An, if we were to attack Zhao Song, what are the chances of victory?"

"Zero. Li Tangguo and the Zhao Song's national power are equivalent, and because of the relationship with the Demon Beast Mountain Range, no one can cross over to attack them. Yang An frowned as he looked at Guo Nan, and asked: "Young Master, were you bullied by the Zhao Song's people inside the Demon Beast Mountain Range?"

"No, I'm just saying it casually." Guo Nan forced a laugh, his heart becoming more and more anxious.

At that moment, a familiar figure was seen dashing towards them from afar.

Seeing that figure, Guo Nan immediately burst into laughter and roared: "Xiao Qiang, you really f * cking ran out here!"

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Qiang had already rushed to Guo Nan's side. He screamed a few times, and laid on the ground, breathing heavily.

Yang An looked at Xiao Qiang in shock, and asked: "Young Master, what demon beast is this?"

"I don't know."

Guo Nan carried Xiao Qiang, climbed onto the horse and laughed: "Uncle An, we are going to rush like mad."

Inside the Prince Guo's Mansion, there were many guests seated. All of the members of the great families of the Changyang City, including the representatives of the royal family, were all seated in the Prince Guo's Mansion.

"Prince Guo, the time is right. According to our agreement, you should let the Young Master Nan Lord come out and fight with my son, right? You kept saying that the Young Master Nan was cultivating, and he didn't even need to show respect. Could it be that the Young Master Nan did not dare to accept the challenge? If that's the case, a hundred thousand garrison s will all belong to me, Qin Qiong. "

Qin Qiong laughed coldly as she stood up and looked at Guo Ziyi.

"Duke Qin is right. Prince Guo, can it be that you want to go back on the promise you made in front of His Majesty? That is a serious crime against the monarch! " The patriarch of Di Family, Di Ming's grandfather Di Ren stood up and attacked Guo Ziyi.

"I believe that Prince Guo would not do something like that. We can understand that the reason that Young Master Nan Lord did not show his weak bow is to save energy for this battle. But the time is right, if Young Master Nan does not come out, we can be considered to have lost. "

The imperial physician, the Song Family's patriarch Song Jing, and Song Lan's grandfather also launched an attack. After losing so much money to Guo Nan in the Changyang Beast Battling Arena, the enmity between the Song Family and Guo Nan had already been built.

As for the military wing, they were all following Guo Ziyi's lead. However, since Guo Nan did not come out and had promised to be the first one, it was inconvenient for them to say anything.

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family coughed a few times when he heard the imperial court order for Zhao Zhen, then said indifferently: "Prince Guo, act according to the agreement. We old fellows can't bear it. "After witnessing the battle, I will need to go back and rest."

Yes, Prince Guo, if Young Master Guo Nan does not dare to come out, then you might as well admit defeat.

Prime Minister Yuwen Ji, old and decrepit, but his pair of small eyes seemed extremely shrewd. He stood up shakily and cupped his fists towards Guo Ziyi. With his identity, he had a lot to say.

Guo Ziyi's brows carried a cold aura, and he said solemnly: "Calm down, everyone. Guo Nan will be there shortly."

"Qin Sheng, enter the stage." Qin Qiong said to Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng ran up the stage and raised his head with his chest puffed up. His temperament was calm and steady, causing everyone to secretly praise him.

On the other hand, the people from the Prince Guo's Mansion s could not even lift their heads.

A quarter of an hour later, the Prince Ji stood up and said indifferently, "Prince Guo, I have His Majesty's edict announcing the location of the hundred thousand garrison s. Do you want to recite it now?"

Hearing that, Guo Ziyi's face turned green, the entire Prince Guo's Mansion and the people of the military wing were filled with righteous indignation. As for the members of the Qin family and the civil servants, they all laughed complacently. The gazes they used to look at the people of the Prince Guo's Mansion were filled with endless ridicule.

Prince Ji unfurled the yellow satin, took a deep glance at Guo Ziyi, and shouted loudly, "Qin Qiong accepts the decree!"

Qin Qiong strode to the front of the Prince Ji and knelt down, saying with a loud voice: "I am here!"

Just as Prince Ji was about to read the imperial edict, the thump thump thump of the horse's hooves could be heard!
