Zhongshan Shenzhu Chi

Chapter 113 War

"You dead frog, what's the point of you being so tall? Is it even useful?" Jinwu looked at the frog and found fault with everything about it.

It's not just the natural opposition of water and fire, but also the fact that the frog's gaze towards it always held only indifference and pity.

It's like that feeling of not wanting to argue with someone who's mentally challenged.

"You actually woke up?" The frog frowned, swallowing back the retort he was about to say, as he was about to lead a large army to attack Yunxi Continent.

"Ten years have passed, shouldn't I be awake by now?"

"I heard you're planning a counterattack on Yunxi Continent. It just so happens that I have a grudge against those dragons. I'll put aside my grievances with you for now." The Golden Crow raised its head arrogantly.

Since ascending to heaven under the sun and activating its bloodline, in terms of status and potential, it is second only to Zhu Chi in Zhongshan.

Even the blue tiger, before it earned the Destiny Fruit, could only be subordinate to it.

Ignoring the sarcasm in his words, the frog carefully sensed the aura of the Nine Lotus and the Golden Crow.

as predicted.

One is a divinely bestowed spirit beast that has broken free from the shackles of the three realms, its life force as vibrant as the rising sun. The other is a mythical creature whose destiny has already been fulfilled.

"Nine Lotus can come with me, Golden Crow, you stay at Zhongshan," the frog said in a deep voice.

"Why? If we're talking about strength, I'm even stronger than that Golden Ape now!" Golden Crow retorted immediately, unconvinced.

"Nine Lotus is merely a spirit beast, not coveted by everyone in the world. But you are a myth—a myth whose destiny is already set."

"What's wrong with mythology!" the Golden Crow angrily flapped its wings.

This silly bird, even after breaking through to a higher realm, it's still so silly.

The frog suppressed its anger.

"By stepping out there, you are declaring to the world that Zhongshan is merely a mountain range, yet it has given birth to two legends!"

"Leaving aside other human powers, do you know how devastating this is for the Central Continent Dynasty?"

"How big of a 'Gehao'? To them, my existence is that of a 'Gehao'!" Jinwu proudly raised its head.

This frog actually spoke a single line of dialogue.

"You idiot!"

"The reason the dynasty is attacking Cangming Continent now is because two mythical behemoths were born on that continent!"

"And Zhongshan already has a red dragon, and now you're added to that list."

"Two true legends, and Zhu Chi is exceptionally powerful! Do you think the dynasty will allow you to grow stronger? If you appear on the battlefield of Yunxi Continent, the additional difficulties and dangers we will face will far outweigh any help you might bring!"

The frog's pupils, which resembled thick eyebrows, contracted as it stared intently at the golden crow.

"Stay put on Zhongshan Mountain! You can only leave the mountain when you've fully comprehended the Golden Crow Divine Soul and broken through to become a Fifth-Realm Yang God Demon King! You can go wherever you want, it's none of my business!"

"You!" The golden crow roared in fury. In its anger, it flapped its wings, and its eyes blazed with flames as bright as the sun.

A blazing spark fell, nearly setting Jiulian's clothes ablaze.

Impatient, she slapped Jinwu.

Under the frog's astonished gaze, the golden crow's explosive momentum came to an abrupt halt.

"Uncle Frog, you just haven't grasped its essence," Jiulian said matter-of-factly. "In this Zhongshan Mountain, it doesn't respect anyone, not even Sister Lingyi."

"But there are still creatures in Zhongshan that can subdue it."

As she spoke, Jiulian took out a crimson dragon scale from her bosom.

The sunlight reflected a crimson light, falling into the golden crow's eyes. The words that were about to burst forth from its throat were abruptly cut off.

"Uncle Jinwu, if you continue like this—" Jiulian raised her fair face and looked at Jinwu, who was leaning against her shoulder with a somewhat dejected air, "I'm going to tell Zhu that you're not listening to Uncle Frog and Sister Lingyi's arrangements."

"You, you, you, I'm not afraid of you—" Jinwu said, sticking out his neck and uttering each word one by one.

"Oh, then I'll tell you—"

"No, no, no, no!" The golden crow was horrified and hurriedly tried to stop her, almost sealing Jiulian's mouth with its wings.

The Zhongshan Divine Candle has ruled this mountain range since its birth. No matter how arrogant or disdainful the Golden Crow is, it cannot disobey its commands.

Moreover, for Jinwu, Zhuchi was not just a leader.

"Fine, I won't go out." Seeing that he couldn't shut Jiulian up, Jinwu lowered his head, and his proud third leg slumped down, like a defeated rooster.

"Uncle Frog, then I shouldn't be considered a myth, right?" Jiulian asked cautiously.

"Well, you don't count," the frog replied casually.

In the next instant, it realized what was happening.

This girl brought the Golden Crow here, probably not simply because she wanted the Golden Crow to protect her.

If Jinwu can go, that would be great, providing an extra layer of security.

If Jinwu can't go, she can also find a reason why she can't go.

"Who taught you that?" the frog asked.

"My sister Lingyi talked to me about some things before she went to the north."

"Two myths were born in Cangming Continent, and the two myths are still not fully formed. That's why the dynasty abandoned dealing with Zhongshan first and turned to attack Sister Yela and the others."

As Jiulian spoke, three pink and white tails, almost as long as her, floated out from behind her.

"Uncle Frog, I'm a nine-tailed fox. I'm not good at fighting, so it's unlikely I'll be on the front lines. But I can be your advisor. Those four fierce demons fighting in the water over there probably can't offer you any strategic help, right?"

C

"You must stay by my side." The frog couldn't find a reason to object, so it nodded.

"Of course, I'm afraid of dying too." Jiulian nodded repeatedly, seeing that her goal had been achieved.

"There's one more request," the frog added.

"What do you want? Frog Uncle, just tell me, I'll definitely do it." Nine Lotus's three tails swayed back and forth, her tone cheerful and confident.

"We still have some time before we can advance. Go find the Golden Ape King—" The frog looked up, a wicked smile in its eyes.

Nine Lotus sensed something was wrong, and its tail, which was wagging happily, suddenly stiffened.

"Although you won't be going to the front lines, there's always a chance of unforeseen circumstances. You need to make sure you have the ability to escape—"

"The golden apes also need to get used to underwater movement—you run, they chase."

"No!!!" Jiulian wailed.

Although it wasn't in mortal danger, those four ferocious beasts were ruthless in their attacks.

Especially the Prison Wolves and Golden Apes; if their lightning and Black Prison Corrosion were to land on the fox's fur, her fur would be covered in black and charred patches, and it would take many days for it to recover.

"For your safety, this is necessary. If you can't even escape their pursuit, you won't have much ability to protect yourself in Yunxi Continent."

The frog laughed and turned to leave.

Jiulian pouted, transformed into a fox, and followed in his footsteps.

The little fox cursed inwardly, but dared not say it aloud.

For the past month, the Golden Ape King and the three ferocious beasts have been extremely excited.

They had long wanted to teach this arrogant fox a lesson.

But these foxes and chickens are very cunning, and they can never find an opportunity.

Now it can be considered settling a personal score under the guise of official business.

The wailing and pleas for mercy continued for a month in the Luo River.

The four ferocious creatures moved with remarkable ease in the water.

The fox, having gone from panic to composure, could even mock their clumsy movements while protecting its hard-won white fur.

"It's time." The frog summoned the monsters of Zhongshan.

After a few words to boost morale, the massive army of demonic beasts surged forward along the Luo River, heading straight for Yunxi Continent.
