The Master of Beasts

Chapter 838 275:

But you can't really blame the White Ape King. After all, at that time, the White Ape King only had the strength of a Warrior King and couldn't understand the strength of those three from the Ghost Fighting Tribe. Even now, having broken through to King Level, without experiencing it face-to-face, he can't be sure of the strength of those three.

The Spider Queen glanced at the White Ape King with a strange look, curiously asking, "Could it be that when those three came looking for you, you hadn't reached King Level yet?"

The aura of the White Ape King was fluctuating greatly, clearly indicating he had just broken through not long ago.

"Mm."

"So weak, and you still managed to survive. It seems your ancestors must have been quite remarkable!"

For some reason, the Spider Queen's interest in chatting suddenly subsided, her expression quickly turning from sunny to gloomy as she said, "Let's go."

"?" The White Ape King looked puzzled.

The Spider Queen slightly frowned, "Kid, I may be seriously injured, but you're not my match either. So be honest with me, alright?"

The White Ape King's heart sank, realizing he might not be able to shake this person off!

"Little guy, don't think about ditching me, or should I say, leading me aimlessly!"

The Spider Queen said with a half-smile, "I belong to the Tongyou Spider lineage. Not much in terms of combat power, but my perception of living beings' hearts, no, all living things' hearts, is quite good. So don't let me catch you lying to me!"

After wandering around for many days, the White Ape King couldn't stall any longer with the Spider Queen.

"Towards the Heavenly Snake Cave?" The Spider Queen slightly frowned.

Actually, the Spider Queen had already sensed it before, but the White Ape King's speed was too slow, so it wasn't very clear. Now, with no stalling left, the direction became very clear.

"The Heavenly Snake!"

Thinking of that eccentric fellow, the Spider Queen felt a bit of a headache, mainly because she was no match for it.

"However, going to the Heavenly Snake Cave seems to be the best choice!"

Sighing lightly, the Spider Queen showed a hint of helplessness on her face. Her Black Forest was gone, and other fierce beasts like her were probably all finished.

If there's a safest place in the Sunset Mountain Range now, it would probably only be the Heavenly Snake Cave. Only that Heavenly Snake can join forces to block the alliance of three Heavenly King Levels.

Stopping and going on the way to the Heavenly Snake Cave.

"What's that?"

The Heavenly Snake likes colorful flowers, something it couldn't see much when it was alone in the Heavenly Snake Cave, because for some special reasons, it rarely went out and lived here in the Heavenly Snake Cave all year round.

Its daily food is actually delivered by other snakes. This might just be the suppression by the apex of snake kind.

"Humans?"

The two Loose Cultivators skilled in planting at the entrance were shocked to see the Spider Queen and the White Ape King, little did they know the Spider Queen was even more shocked to see humans.

"What's going on, why are there humans at the Heavenly Snake Cave, could it be that the Heavenly Snake has died?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The presence of the Heavenly Snake was actually known to the Ghost Fighting Tribe a long time ago, but the cost of driving it away was too high and might not even kill it, so they left it alone.

"Little spider, what brings you here?"

"Your injuries?"

The Heavenly Snake appeared out of nowhere on the Spider Queen's back, the originally smooth carapace surface full of small pits, and some dark red flesh exposed outside.

"Was it those three from the Ghost Fighting Tribe?" The Heavenly Snake's face looked a bit gloomy.

Even though the Heavenly Snake was eccentric and rarely left its cave, it was still recognized by the intelligent fierce beasts in the Sunset Mountain Range as their king.

"It's nothing, I'm still alive after all, not the first time. Just this time, those from the Ghost Fighting Tribe were a bit ruthless, actually sending three and all going for the kill!"

"Before it was always two, just for show!" The Spider Queen also felt a bit puzzled.

"Mm, I felt it too!"

"Forget it, doesn't matter, survival is enough. Where did this little monkey come from?"

The White Ape King hadn't been in the Sunset Mountain Range long, so naturally, the homebody Heavenly Snake didn't know him.

The Spider Queen smacked her lips, "Probably our new companion."

"A newcomer, came at a really bad time!" The Heavenly Snake said somewhat sympathetically.

"That's not necessarily bad; maybe coming to the Sunset Mountain Range is his good fortune?" The Spider Queen spoke with deep meaning.

Not every region's Beast King is as easy-going and nonchalant as the Heavenly Snake.

"Let's go inside, we'll talk more. That mute little monkey, you come too!"

"I'm not mute!" The White Ape King was speechless, I just haven't spoken, how does that make me mute?

"I'm here to find someone!" The White Ape King spoke up, recognizing one of the timid Loose Cultivators who looked familiar.

"Find someone? Or a beast?"

"A person, named Chen Jiuge!"

"You know that interesting fellow!" The Heavenly Snake was a bit surprised, then continued, "Since you know him, come with me!"

"You know him too?"

The Heavenly Snake didn't answer. The truth is, the Heavenly Snake's disinterest in mingling with the beasts of the Sunset Mountain Range wasn't without reason. Except for the Spider Queen, whose cultivation barely reached the Heavenly King Level, the Heavenly Snake had little regard for others, as the disparity in cultivation was too great, leaving no common ground.

As for why the Spider Queen, with such high cultivation, displayed cultivation in the Black Forest similar to others like Jialouluo, who knew, who knew what was on its mind.

......

Heavenly Snake Cave

Heavenly Snake Cave is just a name, not implying the Heavenly Snake only owns one cave. If there were only one, it would be too pathetic for the Sunset Mountain Range's Beast King.

Of course, there are caves, which are where the Heavenly Snake coils up to sleep when idle.

In front of the entrance is a large open area, practically a flat plain, but after Chen Jiuge and others arrived, that plain was modified a lot.

Fertile land can't be wasted, using it to grow food is just right.

Seeing the numerous busy Loose Cultivators on both sides, the Spider Queen curiously asked, "Heavenly Snake, why do you have so many humans here?"

"I remember your reputation among humans is quite terrifying, they should be afraid to come close!"

"This is a long story, actually it's because of that Chen Jiuge!" The Heavenly Snake's corners of the mouth slightly curled upwards.

Chatting with the other beasts, before anyone knew it, they had arrived at the cave's main hall.

On the gray-white walls hung various colorful spirit lamps, all of which the Heavenly Snake had obtained from Chen Jiuge.

"Chen Jiuge!"

"White Ape King?"

Chen Jiuge, dragged in by the Heavenly Snake to work, was hanging colorful lights on the wall with a miserable look. Originally, there was no need for Chen Jiuge to do this personally, nor did it take much time.

But since the last Loose Cultivator set it up with colorful, extremely bright spirit lamps in the Heavenly Snake's sleeping area,

it had really angered the Heavenly Snake. Snakes have poor eyesight, but that doesn't mean they can't perceive light. When you give them such bright lamps, how can the Heavenly Snake sleep!

A little fit of temper from the Heavenly Snake almost scared the Loose Cultivator insane, and no other cultivator dared come to this cave after that, leaving Chen Jiuge to do it himself, as there were a lot of migration matters, he delayed it a few days, and it just coincided with today!

"White Ape King, this is?"

Seeing the White Ape King's golden fur, Chen Jiuge couldn't help but recall a monkey from childhood in his previous life.

"A blessing in disguise I suppose!"

The White Ape King felt a bit embarrassed, not wanting to admit it was Jiang Heng's words that made him regain the arrogance of his youth.

"Senior Heavenly Snake, I've almost finished setting up your cave mansion, why don't you take a look?"

With a snap of Chen Jiuge's fingers, all the spirit lamps in the cave lit up.

From the entrance to the main hall passage, they were segmented in red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, blue, and purple, quite underworldly, but the Heavenly Snake loved it.

As for the main hall, Chen Jiuge replaced it with a unified sunlight-like effect, reminiscent of yellow light bulbs from his childhood.

"How's this?"

"Very nice, very nice!" The Heavenly Snake enjoyed the gentle light from the spirit lamps, a look of satisfaction on its face.

"What's the point?" The Spider Queen couldn't understand, though it might be due to its nature, as the heart-peeping Tongyou Spider preferred dark corners.

"You don't get it!" The Heavenly Snake said with a sly smile.

"Alright then!"

"Spider Queen, is there a reason you came this time?"

"You look quite miserable, but I sensed earlier on the way that you could probably recover in just a few days. Aren't you going back to your Black Forest?" The Heavenly Snake asked curiously.

"Black Forest? The Black Forest is no more!" The Spider Queen smiled bitterly.

"I didn't plan on coming to you, but along the way, all the fellow beasts I knew seemed to have met with accidents. I finally encountered this little monkey who wanted to come to you."

"After thinking it over, your place felt the safest. You wouldn't refuse me, would you?"
