Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 871 The Wise Dog

Inside the main space of the Dragon Stele, Morosa's two single eyes scanned his surroundings warily, his entire body tense.

It was surrounded by darkness, seemingly in some cosmic void, and no matter how it flew, it seemed to remain stationary in place.

With just a slight sense of it, it knew that the spatial intensity here was terrifyingly high, far exceeding that of a normal cosmic sea.

A figure radiating a faint white light suddenly appeared before it.

Morosa was taken aback and instinctively flew away like a frightened bird, but it was all in vain.

Bai Yang found its appearance quite amusing; once tamed, this creature did indeed have a憨厚 (honest and simple) side.

However, I've already found one that's even better.

"Don't bother, Beast of the Realm. This is my domain. What's your name?"

Morosa's eyes darted around frantically as he watched Bai Yang warily, and he asked:

"You're not going to kill me?"

Bai Yang smiled and said, "You're the first Beast we've captured, why are you in such a hurry to kill you?"

"Answer my question, what's your name? I'll only ask once."

Not wanting to suffer a loss, Morosa lowered his head slightly and said, "My name is Morosa, and yours is..."

His pride made him unwilling to be outdone, and he insisted that Bai Yang show "equal contribution".

"You only need to know that my nickname is Lord of Mountains and Seas; you don't need to know my real name."

Bai Yang was too lazy to pay attention to its request and refused it outright.

Morosa looked very unpleasant, but ultimately said nothing.

Seeing its stiff expression, Bai Yang decided to add fuel to the fire:

"How's your strength among the Realm Beasts? Why do you seem much weaker than last time? Are there different levels of strength among you Realm Beasts?"

These words struck a nerve, and Morosa immediately became agitated:

"I am the true strongest of my clan! The strongest among the World Beasts, a king born of destiny!"

Bai Yang nodded in agreement and recalled:

"I have been to your lair before and encountered several Beasts. They were indeed not as strong as you."

The cosmic sea creature that those five useless guys encountered was actually him?

Morosa was startled; no wonder he possessed such strength!

I underestimated those five guys before, thinking they were too useless and that's why they thought of escaping to this cosmic sea.

Bai Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, a murderous aura emanating from them, and slowly said:

"Since you are the strongest realm beast, wouldn't killing you slow down the improvement rate of all the realm beasts?"

"This will save you a lot of trouble."

Morosa was immediately alarmed; this was bad!

"Wait a minute, human! You're mistaken, it's not like that!"

"Although I'm among the strongest, the strongest single World Beast right now is Bedi, who's already at the peak of Tier 3!"

Sure enough, the human opposite him immediately showed interest upon hearing this and asked:

"Beddi? Peak third tier? What does that mean?"

Morosa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the biggest hurdle had been overcome.

This cosmic sea creature is indeed quite powerful; I might be able to snatch something out of the fire.

Thinking of this, it began to describe in detail, vividly, Bedy's background and strength, and also mentioned the power divisions and some abilities among the World Beasts.

A moment later, the human indeed showed an extremely solemn expression, clearly greatly shocked.

Morosa felt a wave of relief wash over him, and he felt incredibly happy!

The great Beast race is incomparably noble; how could any creature from the cosmic sea compare to them?

I am inferior to this human being, but that is only temporary. As long as I can survive, I will have the opportunity to become stronger.

Let me make use of this guy!

Bai Yang looked serious, as if he had encountered a great problem, and asked:

"Morosa, how many third-tier world beasts like you are there in your lair now?"

Morosa completely ignored the jarring phrase "once upon a time" and replied:

"I don't know the specifics. Apart from Bedi and me, the others in Mohe, Qiya, Batur, and the others should all have this power."

Bai Yang suddenly clenched his fists, as if he were being watched by a group of unseen powerful enemies, and couldn't help but get excited.

He suddenly looked up and stared intently at Morosa, his eyes full of inquiry, as if trying to see if the other was lying.

Morosa was initially taken aback, but then immediately became assertive.

These things are all true; the noble Morosa disdains to lie.

Of course, if necessary, that's another matter.

Bai Yang remained stiff for a while before suddenly taking a deep breath and looking at the Beast of the Realm with utmost seriousness.

"Morosa, let's cooperate!"

"Didn't you need to devour your own kind to heal and become stronger? Let's go and deal with Bedy together."

Morosa was overjoyed; the humans had taken the bait!

Its two single eyes immediately looked at Bai Yang warily, and it said reluctantly:

"You? A human from the cosmic sea, wanting to cooperate with a great realm beast?"

"Alright. I'm willing to take you as my slave..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three golden meteor-like sword energies blasted directly into Morosa's body, exacerbating his injuries and causing him to cough up another mouthful of blood.

It's just that its body is imprisoned by the Dragon Stele, preventing it from flying far.

Bai Yang gripped his longsword, its tip pointing at the Beast of Realms, and said with a murderous look:

"I don't have that kind of patience right now! I'm not kidding!"

"Either come with me to deal with Bedi, or the other World Beasts, or you die right here!"

His face was contorted with rage, his expression revealing a ferocious and malevolent look, a stark contrast to his usual appearance.

Morosa, of course, did not know what Bai Yang usually looked like, but he could seem to sense the anxiety and barely concealed fear in his heart.

"Hmph! What bluff? They just need something from me and are controlling the power of their attack!"

"Great Morosa, I'll let you off the hook for now, but when I become king, I'll devour you!"

On the surface, Morosa reluctantly nodded, which was considered a temporary agreement.

"That Bedi is at the peak of the third tier, equivalent to the strongest true god."

"According to you, it has always been active in the core area of ​​the nest."

"If we want to get closer, we'll encounter countless Beasts of the Realm along the way. How can we find it?"

Since it was a "cooperation", Bai Yang naturally passed the buck to Morosa, letting him take the initiative to find a solution.

Sure enough, Namorosa seemed to "think about it seriously" for a moment, then awkwardly laughed:

"First, you need to help me regain some of my strength. With your power, it shouldn't be difficult for you to catch a few World Beasts for me to devour at the edge of the lair, right?"

Bai Yang stared at the other person warily for a while before slowly saying, "Okay."

His tone was reluctant, as if he were worried about raising a tiger that might become a threat.

Morosa chuckled inwardly, and could barely contain his smile!

This human has no choice but to obey me!

At this moment, Bai Yang, with a warning expression, said to it again:

"However, I won't let you out! You can only stay here and help me sense the locations of other realm beasts!"

Morosa was grinning from ear to ear; it would be hard for it not to get stronger!

"No problem! Just give me the body, and I'll take care of the rest."

After a while, Bai Yang returned to the outside world and couldn't help but chuckle:

"This dog is so easy to train; it must be a naturally good breed!"

The Dragon Stele is isolated from the outside world, so Morosa could not possibly know what he looks like now.

Otherwise, even with its intelligence, it would have realized it had been tricked.

Yet its every move reveals everything about itself.
