Six Realms Immortal Emperor
Chapter 61 Subduing the Strange Rhinoceros
If Xu Jingtian didn't have the Misty Wave Illusionary Movement Technique, with only his Qi Refining Level 2 cultivation, he would probably have been trampled under its iron hooves long ago.
The Crimson Rhinoceros Cave was winding and convenient for him to escape, forcing the Crimson Rhinoceros to slow down so that its massive body could turn.
With the cave entrance in sight, Xu Jingtian saw a figure flicker in front of the cave. Who else could it be but Dongfang Sixing? The Crimson Rhinoceros was still a dozen feet behind him.
"Sixing, hide at the cave entrance and don't move. I'll lure the Crimson Rhinoceros away!" Xu Jingtian shouted urgently.
With roars echoing behind him, Xu Jingtian emerged from the cave and, without a moment's hesitation, headed straight for the distance.
He intentionally lured the Crimson Rhinoceros away from its nest, so that Dongfang Sixing could take the opportunity to go into the cave and collect the thousand-year-old Qinglingzhi.
As expected, the Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros harbored resentment towards Xu Jingtian and relentlessly pursued him, driving him further and further away from the cave.
The chase between the man and the beast resumed, and Xu Jingtian grew increasingly alarmed as he fled. The ground was littered with broken trees, and among the tangled branches and leaves were scattered human limbs, a horrifying sight.
Perhaps because the Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros caused such a ruckus here last night, resulting in so many deaths and injuries, no disciple dared to come and investigate.
Some carnivorous wild animals were foraging there when they suddenly saw them and quickly hid in fright.
Perhaps due to the daylight, the Crimson Rhinoceros's eyes were squinted, unable to open wide, and it kept bumping into the big trees.
Ouch!
The two sharp horns of the Crimson Rhinoceros unleashed their power in succession, breaking many large trees. Xu Jingtian, however, felt relieved and used the trees as cover to move back and forth in the forest.
Using the objects around them as cover, Xu Jingtian began to circle around the Crimson Rhinoceros, not venturing far from the area, but simply wandering around in the jungle.
With most of the tall trees broken, more light shone in, making the eyesight of the Crimson Rhinoceros even worse, causing it to start crashing around erratically.
"Hmph, so you're a night owl!" Xu Jingtian sneered, quickly figuring it out.
The Crimson Rhinoceros lives in caves year-round, where the light is dark. Its eyes have gradually adapted, but they are not very good during the day. If the light is too strong, it is practically blind.
Xu Jingtian saw this and began to plan how to deal with it.
This is your weakness; if you use it properly, you might be able to eliminate it.
Last time, when he rode on the back of the Hundred-Refined Golden Tiger, even the fiercest tiger couldn't attack him. Remembering this, Xu Jingtian seized the opportunity, leaped up, and rode on the neck of the Crimson Rhinoceros.
Ouch!
The Crimson Rhinoceros roared in frustration, its two sharp horns swaying back and forth, its tail whipping wildly, but it could do nothing to Xu Jingtian.
"Hmph!" Xu Jingtian gripped its sharp horns tightly with both hands, letting it rage.
Helpless, the Crimson Rhinoceros carried Xu Jingtian and ran wildly, crashing into everything in its path, trying to force Xu Jingtian to jump off.
Xu Jingtian knew perfectly well that he was clinging tightly to the back of the Crimson Rhinoceros, gripping its two sharp horns with both hands, and occasionally giving it a good beating on the forehead.
Xu Jingtian's arms were as strong as a thousand pounds, and he pounded on its hard head like a drum.
It's hard to find a strong opponent outside. The Crimson Rhinoceros is not only strong, but also has thick skin and flesh, making it the best sparring partner. If it were a Hundred-Refined Golden Tiger, it would have been killed by Xu Jingtian's iron fists long ago.
But this Crimson Rhinoceros seemed to be made of iron, and no matter how Xu Jingtian struck it, it would not yield.
"I refuse to believe I can't subdue you!"
Xu Jingtian's hands were tired from hitting, and his spiritual energy was almost exhausted. With a thought, the prayer beads on his wrist began to flash, feeding spiritual energy back into his body.
A howl! Just then, the Crimson Rhinoceros let out a low roar and slowly stopped running.
"Hey! You finally know you're tired?" Xu Jingtian raised his fists defiantly, ready to give him another good beating.
Aow! The Crimson Rhinoceros bent its front legs slightly and then lay prostrate on the ground, its eyes staring in terror at the prayer beads on Xu Jingtian's wrist.
"What's going on?" Xu Jingtian was a little confused and dared not relax his vigilance for a moment.
"Awooo!" The Crimson Rhinoceros cried out again, but this cry was completely different from the previous one. It was less violent and contained more obedience and submission.
"Are you scared?" Xu Jingtian gently raised his wrist and asked cautiously.
"Awooo!" This time, the Crimson Rhinoceros's cry carried a hint of docility. It lay flat on the ground, curled up like a tamed dog. Moreover, it blinked its eyes, its eye rims red, not like it was trying to trick anyone.
No wonder it's so docile; it's submitted! It's begging Xu Jingtian to let it go. It seems this Crimson Rhinoceros is quite intelligent, even knowing to plead for mercy.
"Are you begging me to let you go?" Xu Jingtian asked tentatively.
The Crimson Rhinoceros remained silent, but blinked its eyes pitifully in response.
"Wow! That's really interesting!" Xu Jingtian chuckled.
It's unexpected that the once domineering Crimson Scale Rhinoceros would be afraid of the prayer beads on his wrist. It seems these prayer beads have other unknown functions, which he is simply unaware of yet.
Xu Jingtian pondered for a moment and said to the Crimson Rhinoceros, "It's not impossible for me to let you go, but you have to listen to me from now on."
The Crimson Rhinoceros hesitated for a moment, a glint of light flashing in its eyes. It blinked again, as if in agreement.
This Crimson Rhinoceros is a third-tier ferocious beast, extremely powerful and proud, and will not easily submit. However, it is deeply afraid of the prayer beads on Xu Jingtian's wrist, feeling that if it does not submit, its life will be in danger.
This ferocious beast was also very intelligent and knew how to assess the situation.
"Alright! Then let's go back to your lair now and give me that thousand-year-old Qinglingzhi!" Xu Jingtian asked tentatively.
This Crimson Rhinoceros is not human after all, and it would be extremely dangerous if it suddenly changed its mind.
A third-tier ferocious beast can easily kill an outer sect disciple, so Xu Jingtian has to be on guard.
Awooo! To everyone's surprise, the Crimson Rhinoceros let out a joyful sound, suddenly stood up, and without a moment's hesitation, carried Xu Jingtian and ran off.
They had been fighting all along, running aimlessly in the heart of the trial area, and had no idea where they were. The Crimson Rhinoceros, however, had a very strong sense of direction. It identified a location and carried Xu Jingtian swiftly through the jungle.
Along the way, they encountered many unknown ferocious beasts. Upon seeing the Crimson-scaled Rhinoceros, they would keep their distance. The Crimson-scaled Rhinoceros was very fast and did not stop at all.
Xu Jingtian finally felt relieved. It seemed that this beast was a bit simple-minded. Once it set its mind on a principle, it would not easily go against it, unlike humans who would be fickle.
The Crimson Rhinoceros carried Xu Jingtian at breakneck speed, passing through one dense forest after another, and also spotted some outer disciples.
Most of these outer disciples had never seen the true form of the Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros. Seeing its ferocity, rushing towards them like a gust of wind, they were utterly terrified, even frightened, and abandoned their prey to flee. Some of the more timid disciples trembled at the sight, unsure whether to run or stay.
Fortunately, the Crimson Scaled Rhinoceros had only one goal and didn't even glance at the disciples, focusing solely on rushing towards its central nest.
They didn't come to their senses until the crimson rhinoceros had galloped far past them. Of course, some of the more knowledgeable disciples also witnessed this scene: an outer sect disciple riding a crimson rhinoceros. After a long while, they recovered and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"This is a Crimson-Scaled Rhinoceros! A third-tier ferocious beast!"
"Yes, he was carrying a boy on his back!"
"Who is this? He looks so impressive!"
These disciples also saw Xu Jingtian on the back of the Crimson Rhinoceros and were all shocked, showing various expressions of envy and jealousy.
Among these people was a group who were besieging a wild beast. They were also shocked and focused their energy to try to see clearly the people on the back of the Crimson Rhinoceros.
"Isn't this the Crimson Rhinoceros from last night? What's it doing out in broad daylight?" The leading man looked at the shadow of the Crimson Rhinoceros with some confusion. This man was fair-skinned and very tall and burly.
He was still somewhat incredulous with the disciple in front of him, and said doubtfully, "Senior Brother Zhu, you must be mistaken. How could this be the Crimson Rhinoceros that killed more than a dozen people last night? Didn't you see that it was carrying an outer sect disciple on its back?"
