Chapter 642 What's with that raspy voice yelling?
Liang He's ambiguous words and laughter made Droville frown deeply, instinctively becoming wary of his surroundings, but forgetting the most important point.

"!!!"

Having found no flaws, Droville, believing Liang He was bluffing—

A murderous whistling sound came from behind Droville. He turned around abruptly, and a black mist blade charged towards Droville, causing him to retreat repeatedly.

Taking advantage of the situation, Liang He launched a pincer attack, holding a platinum feather between her fingers, transforming it into a blade, and aiming it directly at the neck that the Deroville mask could not cover.

"Ding--"

The sound of metal shattering rang in Drogwell's ears.

His pupils dilated in shock as he felt the mask gradually disintegrate and shatter on his skin, eventually scattering to the ground.

"How can it be?!"

The mask was made by Drovell using the hardest rare metal, so tough that even a photon gun couldn't penetrate it. Yet, Liang He easily shattered it with a single feather, which Drovell simply couldn't accept.

And Drovell's face, which had never seen the light of day in so long, was now exposed to the air so naked that it made Drovell's hair stand on end. He wanted to raise his hand to cover his face, but Elius's mist blade came at him.

"boom!!!"

Fogblade seemed to have its sights set on Drovell, closing in step by step.

Even though Droville was very unsettled at this moment, he knew that saving his life was the most important thing.

A gray-black shield bearing a totem instantly appeared in front of Drovell. The mist blade dissipated into the air with a hint of dissatisfaction the moment it struck the shield.

At the same time, a completely disfigured face was also revealed to everyone without reservation, causing everyone to gasp in shock.

"what?"

However, Liang He's attention was completely drawn to the totem she had just seen, and she didn't care at all what Drowell actually looked like.

Looking at the somewhat familiar totem pattern, Liang He blinked and quickly extracted keywords from the database in her mind.

"Qiongqi?"

How could Droville be associated with Qiongqi, the legendary ferocious beast of Earth?

Liang He didn't understand, but it was as if she had grasped a key point. All she needed to do was calm down, connect the dots, and she could understand everything.

"Your beast form is Qiongqi?"

Drowell had no interest in answering Liang He's question.

Without the protection of the mask, he completely lost his sense of security, and his whole being became gloomy and sinister. He wanted to kill everyone present to silence them, without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Anyone who has seen his face deserves to die!

"What kind of beast is Qiongqi? I remember that Huo Kang's beast form should be a tiger."

Elius, having failed in his sneak attack, decided to stop pretending.

Upon hearing Liang He's question, he immediately told her what he knew.

"It's just an S-class black tiger, incomparable to Cedril."

Even among tiger-beastmen, their strength varies due to differences in rank and species.

The reason why Droville hates Hoan so much is partly due to the S-class's jealousy of the SSS-class.

He hated it, hated that he wasn't the SSS-level person, hated that Huo An had the good bloodline of the Huo family, and hated even more that Huo An, who clearly had so much, still had to appear and steal everything from him.

"Black Tiger?"

Elius's answer puzzled Liang He, but at the same time, gave her a sudden insight.

Black Tiger... Dark Tiger?
Qiongqi is also entirely black and resembles a tiger, except that it has wings on its back. It is the complete opposite of Xuanhu, which symbolizes fearlessness and serves as a guardian beast. It is a ferocious beast.

"Huo Kang, you said you were once used as an experimental subject. Did that person want to transform you into a Xuanhu, but failed, causing you to become Qiongqi?"

Ignoring Huo Kang's burning anger and murderous intent, Liang He bluntly stated her guess. Her guess caused Huo Kang to suddenly calm down, his sinister eyes fixed on Liang He, his voice hoarse as if poisoned.

"how do you know?"

Huo Kang was puzzled as to how Liang He had managed to analyze so much information.

Even he only remembered the key points by listening to the discussions of those people in bits and pieces during the experiment.

"Ha, you're right. My current state, neither human nor beast, is all thanks to that failed experiment."

But Hokan was able to defeat his predecessor, Drewell, precisely because of this failed experiment.

The ferocious beast Qiongqi was far more powerful than Xuanhu. If Huo Kang hadn't seized the opportunity to kill him, he would have ended up as a failed experiment and been sent for destruction.

Why Xuanhu and Qiongqi?

Strangely enough, Liang He was always very curious about Kuang Ye's incarnation as the Mengji Snow Leopard, Huo An's Kunpeng, Elius's Black Dragon, and the Qilin clan of the temple.

Those things that existed in the legends of Earth have become reality in interstellar space.

Did the legendary creatures predate the humans of Earth and venture into interstellar space, or was someone deliberately creating mythical beasts based on legend?
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?!"

Liang He's persistent questioning, regardless of Huo Kang's life or death, made him slightly irritable, and even his anxiety about having his face seen was greatly reduced.

"Oh... if you don't know, you don't know. Why are you yelling with that raspy voice?"

Liang He rubbed her ears in disgust, clearly annoyed by Huo Kang's vocal assault.

The sudden battle and the inexplicable rebuke left Huo Kang speechless. If he hadn't been so strong-willed, he might have been driven to his death by Liang He's anger.

"you!"

Speechless, Hokan suddenly turned his gaze to Elius, who had long since regained his original appearance.

"Erius? How did you manage to sneak in?!"

Hokang couldn't understand how the people he had arranged to be his own suddenly turned into Elius, who not only plotted against him but almost succeeded!

"Didn't Ahe say that?"

Despite his failed attack, Elius was not discouraged; instead, he raised an eyebrow triumphantly.

"Soldiers who, deception also."

how?

You're allowed to use underhanded tricks, but we're not allowed to play along?
"...Good, very good!"

At this moment, Hokan finally realized that Elius had probably already infiltrated his headquarters, secretly replaced his men, and taken his place.

Huo Kang was so angry with himself that he almost died.

If Lan Zhuo had come in person, nothing would have happened. But he insisted on switching the prince with a cat, which gave Elius an opportunity and even helped him cover up the flaws in his acting!

What does it mean to be too clever for your own good?
This is a typical case!
"In that case, let me see, as divine beasts, which is stronger, the Black Dragon or the Qiongqi?!"

It wasn't difficult for the rebel leader to know that Elius's true form was a black dragon.

It was precisely because of the appearance of the black dragon that Hokan wanted to cooperate with Elius, because he felt that there might be a connection between the two.

Unexpectedly, Elius, the leader of the space pirates, was so useless that he was easily tricked into joining Liang He's camp, which was a disgrace to their divine beasts.

"Excuse me, but just so you know, Elius is a divine beast, while you are a ferocious beast."

Liang He couldn't tolerate even the slightest bit of this common-sense knowledge and immediately corrected it.

Hokan, who happened to be facing off against Elius, was so enraged that his blood boiled and he almost fell victim to Elius's attack.

"shut up!!!"
