Chapter 133 – Reinforcements

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"One-Eye, find the strongest creature in these mountains."

Having just been inside the Soul Realm Space, One-Eye naturally had no idea what had happened. 

However, seeing the black Light Curtain enveloping the entire town and Wen Yu's grim expression, One-Eye was smart enough to realize that something bad had occurred!

Hearing Wen Yu's command, One-Eye sniffed the air forcefully, doing his best to distinguish the scents carried on the wind.

After a long moment, One-Eye barked twice at Wen Yu and took the lead, diving into the dense Mountain Forest. Wen Yu followed closely behind!

…

With the invasion of Demon Qi, the once sparse vegetation in the Mountain Forest had begun to grow wildly!

Fortunately, the current speed of plant mutation was generally not fast, so the few Mutant Plants they encountered couldn't slow down Wen Yu and One-Eye.

The Mountain Forest within the vicinity of Chaihe Town wasn't particularly large to begin with.

Before long, One-Eye came to a halt.

"Woof! Woof!"

"Boss, ahead. The strongest!"

In truth, One-Eye didn't even need to say anything. Wen Yu could already feel the immense pressure and a domineering, tyrannical aura coming from up ahead.

"Truly terrifying."

Feeling the dangerous aura before him, Wen Yu sighed softly. At the same time, he had already pieced together the unknown battle that had taken place in the mountains that morning.

A great battle had occurred between two Kings among the Mutant Beasts! As the loser who fled, the Giant Eagle naturally had no right to continue living in the mountains. Then, the Giant Eagle had simply grabbed a snack on its way out!

That was what had led to this awkward situation.

"Talk about getting caught in the crossfire!"

Wen Yu muttered a low complaint.

"Prepare for battle."

As Wen Yu gave the order, One-Eye arched his back slightly and took the lead, walking forward.

Wen Yu's purpose for coming here was to seek support, but he couldn't guarantee that the unknown existence ahead understood the current situation.

Wen Yu couldn't be sure if a fight would break out, but without a doubt, the probability was quite high!

…

As Wen Yu and One-Eye crept forward, the scene of the battlefield unfolded before them.

The trees and plants on the ground had been completely destroyed, and cracks littered the earth.

This was the result of frost and flames intertwining!

Ahead, a Frost Ancient Tree, as crystal clear as a diamond, stood silently in the center of the clearing.

The Ancient Tree was massive and majestic, but now, all of that was in the past.

The current Ancient Tree lacked even a trace of life. Its translucent body shimmered faintly under the dappled sunlight, looking like a monument erected for eternity.

It wasn't this one.

Wen Yu could feel that the King of this Mountain Forest was not this dead Ancient Tree.

"Then…"

Wen Yu slowly scanned the surroundings until he saw a small head atop the Ancient Tree.

A pure black head, similar to a snake's but more three-dimensional, with a pair of pale yellow vertical pupils quietly watching Wen Yu and One-Eye from a short distance away.

On the head, which was smaller than a baby's fist, two small sharp horns protruded. The slightly reddish horns looked delicate and almost cute.

All the exposed skin on its face was covered in a layer of scales shimmering with Black Light. The fine, orderly scales gave Wen Yu a feeling of indestructibility.

Seeing this Little One, Wen Yu's scalp instantly went numb.

Judging by its appearance alone, this thing definitely didn't belong to any known species. Instead, it looked like-a dragon!

A Black Dragon imagined in Western myths and legends! Although its size was much, much smaller.

"Is it that one?" Wen Yu asked One-Eye in a low voice.

One-Eye nodded solemnly, his muscles rippling continuously.

His instincts, far sharper than a human's, were working at full capacity at this moment!

Though the thing before them was disproportionately small compared to One-Eye, the sense of danger it gave him was incredibly intense!

So intense that it was more dangerous than any creature One-Eye had ever encountered!

Including Simba, including the Giant Eagle, and even the Ancient Demon!

"Yeah."

Seeing One-Eye's reaction, Wen Yu pondered for a moment before slowly taking two steps forward.

Although the creature before him exerted an immense pressure and a sense of danger on One-Eye, Wen Yu hadn't come here to fight this time.

The stronger the creature in front of him was, the stronger the overall strength of Earth Creatures would be in this Battlefield Between Two World. At the same time, it also meant this unknown creature possessed higher intelligence!

Furthermore, the creature before him had not shown any clear killing intent toward him.

"Something has happened, so I want to talk to you. Can you understand me?"

It had to be said that Wen Yu's negotiation skills were truly not that high.

Fortunately, in the Apocalypse, such things didn't matter!

The only thing that mattered was strength!

The Little One sized Wen Yu up, then glanced at One-Eye standing not far behind him, before suddenly opening its small mouth.

This movement made One-Eye's fur stand on end, and he couldn't help but let out a loud roar!

"Quiet!"

Wen Yu spoke to One-Eye without turning his head, his eyes still fixed on the Little One a short distance away.

Wen Yu didn't sense any killing intent.

Sure enough, the Little One opened its large mouth, and a scarlet tongue slowly extended, licking all the way around its face!

'Well, I suppose that counts as washing its face,' Wen Yu thought.

Then, the Little One jumped directly down from the Ancient Tree. Its body, which was smaller than Wen Yu's forearm, fell to the ground. It wasn't as agile as one might imagine; instead, it tumbled like a ball, rolling three times before coming to a stop.

Then, the Little One slowly climbed to its feet, still quietly watching Wen Yu. It didn't seem embarrassed at all by its clumsy display.

Only now did Wen Yu get a full look at the Little One.

Its overall shape resembled a lizard, but based on Wen Yu's years of gaming experience, this Little One looked more like a Giant Dragon!

Its limbs were short but powerful.

Yes, powerful-that was Wen Yu's first impression upon seeing its limbs.

Where the scales covered its body, muscles rippled with a sense of latent power. On its shoulders, a pair of black leathery wings were folded tightly against its body.

Claws, horns, scales, and wings-no matter how he looked at it, it matched the image of a Western Giant Dragon in his mind.

Except for its easily overlooked size.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Wen Yu asked again, looking at the Little One on the ground.

The Little One-no, the Little Dragon-tilted its head, observing Wen Yu and One-Eye with a touch of curiosity. it was carefully pondering what kind of strange-looking species this creature before it was, and why it had never seen one before.

As for Wen Yu's words, the Little One could understand the gist of them.

Although it didn't know human language, the Little Dragon could sense the thoughts of peace and goodwill Wen Yu conveyed through his speech.

Gulp.

Wen Yu silently swallowed. The sound, which would normally go unnoticed, seemed somewhat piercing in this quiet environment.

After a long while, the Little One looked at Wen Yu and slowly nodded.

"Whew."

Wen Yu let out a long breath.

As long as they could communicate, it was fine. Communication meant there was no need for a fight. That was Wen Yu's only thought right now.

"Why… have you… come to find me?"

A fragmented voice echoed in Wen Yu's mind.

The voice sounded somewhat childish, proving that this dragon-he would call it a dragon for now-was not yet an adult.

Hearing this voice, Wen Yu felt a chill in his heart.

Wen Yu was naturally familiar with this method of mental transmission; he relied mostly on this method to communicate with his Soul Pet. However, the fact that the Little Dragon before him could perform such an act forced Wen Yu to re-evaluate the creature's strength.

"Did you see that black Light Curtain covering the entire area of Chaihe Town?"

The Little Dragon nodded once more.

"Then, when the Light Curtain formed, did you hear a Notification Tone?"

Wen Yu narrowed his eyes, quietly waiting for the creature's response.
