Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

Chapter 426 - 346: Demon God Wind Dragon

Lu Lin was taken aback.

Unbelievably, he had just emerged from the Battlefield Secret Realm when someone was waiting for him.

He hadn’t even told Lv Susu about his return.

Lu Lin turned around to see a gigantic creature.

The Frog King.

Lu Lin chuckled and stood up from the ground, curiously asking, "Frog King, are you here... waiting for me?"

"Of course."

The Frog King wore an arrogant expression, "If I weren’t waiting for you, my seventy-two concubines from the three palaces and six courtyards would have already produced tadpoles. How could I be here otherwise?"

"Alright, let’s not talk about that. Come with me first."

"Come?"

"Where to?"

Lu Lin was puzzled.

"To find Leader Gui Xiang, it’s been waiting for you for a long time."

The Frog King saw Lu Lin still hesitating and, without another word, had Lu Lin sit on its back and jumped forward.

Seemingly worried that its speed was too fast for Lu Lin, it thoughtfully added a transparent bubble to Lu Lin’s body.

With this leap, the Frog King jumped at least ten kilometers.

"Frog King, tell me, how did you know I would appear here?"

Lu Lin was somewhat confused.

"It wasn’t me, it was Leader Gui Xiang who knew."

The Frog King said in a muffled voice.

"Alright, don’t ask too many questions; you’ll know everything once you meet Leader Gui Xiang."

"Quack!"

The Frog King croaked, kicked off the ground with its hind legs, and jumped again.

Seeing this, Lu Lin refrained from asking further questions.

He had to admit, the Frog King’s speed was astonishing.

If it were Lu Lin, even knowing the destination, he wouldn’t be able to reach there in such a short time.

The journey of over a kilometer took less than thirty minutes at the Frog King’s speed.

The area was filled with low mountains and foggy mountain ranges, yet there were no cries from birds or beasts.

"You go in now; I have to hurry back home."

"With a bunch of wife and kids, it’s not easy."

The Frog King shook its head as it spoke, didn’t say goodbye to Lu Lin, and then leaped away, disappearing.

Going in by himself?

Lu Lin thought to himself that with such a vast mountain range, how would he find Gui Xiang’s location?

Besides, there was clearly something unusual about this mountain.

The view was filled with Osmanthus trees, both golden and silver, with the fragrance guiding him to walk into the mountains.

As soon as he entered, the dense Osmanthus forest, originally without any gaps, automatically opened up a path.

The Osmanthus trees on both sides of the path moved without wind, shaking and dropping petals mixed with gold and silver.

Lú Lín was stunned and understood.

It seems that this Osmanthus forest was under Gui Xiang’s control and that Gui Xiang could know his position at any time.

"Senior Gui Xiang, thank you for guiding me."

Lú Lín bowed and paid his respects, hearing Gui Xiang’s gentle voice in his ear.

"It’s nothing. To invite you here to my Osmanthus tree was a bit abrupt."

"I just can’t move around freely, which causes you trouble."

Lú Lín waved repeatedly and followed the path Gui Xiang opened, proceeding forward.

This Osmanthus Mountain was vast, and Lú Lín walked for about an hour to arrive before a towering Osmanthus tree.

Saying it’s towering, it actually seemed just over five meters tall in Lú Lín’s view, not significantly taller than the Osmanthus trees he had seen in the Human Federation.

There was a vast empty space around the Osmanthus tree. Lú Lín looked closely and discovered it wasn’t soil but stone.

This Osmanthus tree wasn’t growing in soil but on stone.

"Senior Gui Xiang."

"Little Friend Lu Lin, I apologize for the trouble."

Gui Xiang’s branches swayed, dropping golden-yellow petals.

A gust of wind gathered these petals and delivered them before Lú Lín.

"These are some of my petals; take them for your family to brew. While they may not extend life, at least they’ll strengthen the body without issue."

Lú Lín casually accepted them, thanked Gui Xiang, and stored the Osmanthus petals in a Storage Ring.

He thought they were ordinary Osmanthus, but in fact, Gui Xiang’s original Osmanthus tree hadn’t shed a petal in at least five hundred years.

Every petal on Gui Xiang’s body would sell for at least a price of more than 100 million Federal Coins in the Human Federation.

The handful just given to him, if priced, would be worth at least 500 billion.

Most importantly, there’s no market for these.

No one in the Human Federation has ever gotten a petal from Demon God Gui Xiang.

"Lu Lin, the reason I asked you to come over is that there’s something I need to entrust to you."

"After you left a while ago, The God of Black Shark came to the Demon Race’s Demon God Kingdom and met with His Majesty Feng Long."

"They agreed to have a duel three months later in the endless sea."

"This time, Feng Long agreed."

"Oh?"

Lu Lin was puzzled, thinking, if The God of Black Shark and Feng Long want to fight, let them; why does it matter to him?

Why did Gui Xiang specifically seek him out for this?

"Hehe, Lu Lin, you still don’t know why The God of Black Shark always wants to duel with our His Majesty Feng Long, right?"

"Let me explain it to you briefly."

Gui Xiang saw Lu Lin’s bewildered expression and naturally knew what he was thinking.

The God of Black Shark and his companions, after following the Saint into the Tianyuan Continent back in the day, faced fierce resistance from the Extraordinary Clan.

The battle was brutal, and everyone was killed.

In the time that followed, these so-called gods were gradually resurrected. Because Black Shark was among the first to resurrect, he absorbed the power of several powerful gods, quickly becoming the strongest.

However, due to the constraints of the world rules, his power could not break through further once it reached the Star Dust Peak.

"Wait?"

"Senior Gui Xiang, what does Star Dust Peak mean?"

Lu Lin was startled. Gui Xiang was a native of the Tianyuan Continent, so how could she know the terms used by cultivators in the Longyuan World?

"Hehe, Star Dust Peak is not the term we use here."

"The God of Black Shark is not that simple either."

"Star Dust Peak is the formal term during the Alien Star General stage of my Demon Race’s demon beast phase."

"Black Shark and the others come from a higher world, where these are the names for stages of cultivation."

"You can think of Star Dust Peak as Titled King Peak."

Seeing Lu Lin’s question, Gui Xiang patiently explained.

For her, there was nothing in this world worth getting anxious about anymore.

About several hundred years ago, when The God of Black Shark seemed resigned to his fate, he somehow got word that it was not impossible to break through on the Tianyuan Continent.

If you want to break through, you must deceive the rules of Tianyuan Continent.

And this rule is that you have to kill another strong person at the same Star Dust Peak to ascend to the next realm.

Humans, Alien Race, Demon Race.

Humans were too weak; there were only Chen Danqing and Zhang Nutao who were above Star Dust Fifth Level (at that time).

The gods of the Alien Race were cautious, as Black Shark had meticulously selected whom to resurrect. Killing them recklessly would waste all previous efforts.

Only the Demon Race had potential.

The Demon Race, with its three emperors, was the best target for Black Shark.

Yet after some consideration, Black Shark determined that Jia Dao in the endless sea, a Demon God who never once left the sea, had no hope.

Similarly, Gui Xiang of Osmanthus Mountain was deeply rooted in the Osmanthus Mountain Range, and unless the entire Osmanthus Mountain was erased from the Tianyuan Continent, Gui Xiang could not be killed.

That left only Feng Long.

Feng Long’s true form was just a common grass snake.

The reason he could lead the demon beasts to resist during those days of Extraordinary repression was actually under the direction of Gui Xiang and Jia Dao.

One feared death, and the other couldn’t act, so at the time, Feng Long was chosen by the two Demon Gods, as the only emperor of the Demon Race, to lead the rebellion against the Alien Race.

Though Feng Long was already an emperor of the Demon Race, he barely reached that level because his true form was a grass snake, naturally lacking qualification and potential.

But due to his Wind Attribute, he was chosen as the leader for the ease of relocating many demon beasts.

To be honest, at that time, the Demon Race’s goal was merely to survive.

To preserve as many potentially powerful descendants of the Demon Race as possible.

Unexpectedly, the demon beasts, originally intending to flee, grew stronger while escaping because of Feng Long’s leadership.

Every Secret Realm they encountered, Feng Long would lead his followers to plunder.

The path of escape unexpectedly became a journey of strengthening due to Feng Long’s efforts.

Years later, of the thousands of demon beasts that had fled, a third rose to emperor level under Feng Long’s leadership.

Exploiting the arrogance of the Alien Race, Feng Long set a trap that killed over a hundred Alien Star Generals at one go.

Afterward, the Demon Race turned from fleeing in disadvantage to strong counterattack.

In this period, Feng Long’s cultivation kept advancing as though it had no end.

When the final Great War loomed, Feng Long’s strength had reached the Demon God level, which is equivalent to the Star Dust Peak.

Living Demon God.

Unmatched.

Because of Feng Long, the Demon Race became the strongest race indeed.

For several hundred years, ever since Black Shark learned of the Tianyuan Continent’s rules, he continuously sought to regain his power by killing a Demon God.

However, to battle Feng Long, Black Shark needed to pay a significant price or have a substantial reason.

In those several hundred years, Black Shark would wage war on the Exotic Beast Clan at intervals of a few years.

He sought to force Feng Long into submission.

As long as he came out, Black Shark was confident of killing Feng Long.

But ever since leading the rebellion against the Alien Race, Feng Long had stayed holed up in the Demon God Kingdom, focusing on researching formations.

In the Demon God Kingdom, the formations crisscrossed densely. Not even The God of Black Shark could escape them, nor could the Ten Gods together.

Forced to this point, Black Shark had no choice but to continually seek reasons and opportunities to compel Feng Long to accept his challenge.

This time.

Because of Lu Lin’s affair, Gui Xiang and Jia Dao showed support for Lu Lin, causing the Alien Race to lose everything.

Black Shark saw an opportunity, accusing the Exotic Beast Clan of colluding with humans, to coerce Feng Long into a confrontation.

Unexpectedly, this time Feng Long readily agreed.

Not only did he agree, but he also explained the whole situation to Gui Xiang and Jia Dao.

"Both of you, I only led the Demon Race in rebellion against the Alien Race because you tasked me to."

"Now, due to your ties, I am about to die at Black Shark’s hands. Please, you must find a way to save me."

Gui Xiang and Jia Dao felt guilty but couldn’t go to the endless sea’s Alliance of the Gods to fight the Ten Gods.

Considering what help to seek, neither dared approach the humans for aid in fear of the uncertain human stance and a possibility of inciting panic among the Demon Race.

It was at this moment Feng Long mentioned a name.

"Lu Lin."

"He is the key to my survival."
