Bang, bang, bang, bang…
One after another, magical beasts were sent flying like cannonballs. The many third-rank magical beasts guarding the Little Amethyst Winged Lion suffered a heavy blow from the Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Facing a Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent two ranks higher than them, they could still struggle and resist if it were a head-on collision, but they were truly helpless against a surprise attack.
It wasn't that these magical beasts were weak, but they simply didn't expect such a trick waiting for them. Magical beasts generally act straightforwardly, and humans rarely venture deep into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Those who do are usually powerful humans who seldom use such underhanded tactics.
Moreover, when ordinary people encounter a group of ten or so third-rank magical beasts gathered together, they would naturally assume that there must be a fifth or sixth-rank expert behind them, and basically, no one would provoke them.
These magical beasts naturally had a similar thought, but they never expected that someone would take such an unconventional approach, specifically waiting to ambush them.
And it was a fifth-rank magical beast doing the sneak attack, which few people would believe if it were told!
"Cough, cough..."
The group of guarding third-rank magical beasts was dealt with, and the Little Amethyst Winged Lion hadn't even reacted yet.
A snake tail wrapped around it and tossed it into the bushes. After landing, its eyes were filled with tears, its mouth wide open, trying to roar, but only a coughing sound came out.
"This little fellow looks quite good!"
Yan Qingshan walked over. With the cooperation of the Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, he pinched the Little Amethyst Winged Lion's head and fed it the prepared medicinal liquid.
After the liquid entered its throat, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King was clearly more uncomfortable, staggering and falling down like it was drunk.
"Awoo..."
The Little Amethyst Winged Lion weakly opened its eyelids, watching Yan Qingshan manipulate its body. It raised its paws in resistance, but it had very little strength, making it seem like it was half-heartedly resisting.
Yan Qingshan had given the Little Amethyst Winged Lion a specially prepared medicinal liquid.
After a third-rank magical beast consumes it, it takes effect quickly, leaving it weak and unable to resist within a day, allowing it to be manipulated at will.
Of course, while this thing does take effect, the key is how to make the magical beast eat it. Its smell is too obvious to be concealed, and a magical beast can tell there's something wrong with it as soon as it smells or tastes it.
"What are you doing, kid? You wouldn't be targeting this Amethyst Winged Lion King, would you? I just said, its parents are sixth-rank magical beasts!"
The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, Bai Ya, was about to go berserk. Yan Qingshan moved too fast; it hadn't even reacted before the battle ended. But it was about to explode.
Itself was a sixth-rank magical beast; were sixth-rank magical beasts easy to provoke? Moreover, there might be two sixth-rank magical beasts.
In general, even if you snatched the natural treasures guarded by magical beasts, it wouldn't be a big deal.
As long as you didn't recklessly trespass into the magical beast's territory again, they basically wouldn't chase you forever. But if you touched their young, they would definitely fight you to the death.
Just thinking about two sixth-rank Amethyst Winged Lions flying over to chase them made even the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, Bai Ya, feel a little scared.
The Amethyst Winged Lion wasn't scary, but two of them, especially two sixth-rank magical beasts determined to kill it, even it felt a little timid.
"Don't worry, Lord Bai Ya! There's only one adult Amethyst Winged Lion in this Magical Beast Mountain Range; two sixth-rank magical beasts won't come together."
Yan Qingshan checked the Little Amethyst Winged Lion's condition and then stood up, smiling. "Besides, I don't want this little fellow's life. But if we want to talk to the Amethyst Winged Lion, we'll have to rely on you, sir."
"Kid, you were plotting against me from the start, weren't you!"
How could the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, Bai Ya, not realize it had fallen into Yan Qingshan's trap?
Since he knew there was only one adult Amethyst Winged Lion in this Magical Beast Mountain Range, he probably had his eyes on this Little Amethyst Winged Lion from the beginning, and bringing it along was for safety assurance.
"What are you talking about? Isn't a tool snake..."
Yan Qingshan muttered a few words quietly. Some inner thoughts couldn't be spoken aloud. Since he knew there was an Amethyst Winged Lion in the Magical Beast Mountain Range that fit his conditions, of course, he had his eyes on it from the start. But his strength wasn't enough at the time, so he only scouted the situation.
He wasn't just talking nonsense when he told Bai Ya to look for a suitable lion-type magical beast.
If there were other magical beasts that fit the conditions, he could change his target. Although he had Bai Ya as a backup, the sixth-rank Amethyst Winged Lion was really not easy to provoke. If he could avoid it, he would try not to touch it.
"Who is it? Who is so bold!!!"
A thunderous roar suddenly echoed through the clear sky of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and a purple light quickly rose into the sky, the purplish-red flames instantly dyeing half the sky red.
"I've been plotted against by you, kid, you little bastard. Listen up, don't kill this little beast, or I won't care about your safety."
The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, Bai Ya, roared at Yan Qingshan, its head lowered. After the Amethyst Winged Lion King came out, it quickly locked onto this direction.
Its tracks couldn't be hidden. The best choice now was to go up and fight, but it was really afraid that Yan Qingshan would kill the Little Amethyst Winged Lion. Before leaving, it had to give a special warning.
"Don't worry, I'm not that cruel to such a cute little fellow."
Yan Qingshan smiled at Bai Ya, cradling the Little Amethyst Winged Lion's head in his hands. The little beast felt really good in his hands
Not only did he touch it, but Qing Ling, Xiao Yi Xian, and Xue Lan couldn't help but come over and reach out their hands, making the helpless little fellow growl repeatedly, but to no avail.
"Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, you're courting death! Quickly hand over my child!"
A violent roar exploded in the sky, followed by terrifying energy fluctuations and collisions. In the blue sky, black and red colors covered half the sky, looking extremely spectacular.
Opposite the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, the seven or eight-meter-long Amethyst Winged Lion King roared repeatedly, its mouth spewing out purple flames continuously towards Bai Ya.
Its body was covered with a layer of amethyst defense, which was extremely high, and the spiral horns on its lion's head spewed out clusters of purple flames, spreading out.
"Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, you should know that attacking young beasts is a taboo among magical beasts. You're courting death.
If you don't hand over my child, I will mobilize all the overlords of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and hunt you down to extinction."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King in the sky shouted in human language. As one of the overlords of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, this was the first time it was so angry. Its child was actually ambushed, which it couldn't tolerate.
"Amethyst Winged Lion King, you're threatening me? Lord Bai Ya has never been threatened. It's an honor for your child to be favored by Lord Bai Ya. What are you going to do about it?"
The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, Bai Ya, was a rare mouthy type among magical beasts, who liked to talk nonsense. After testing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's strength, it felt like it could do it again. This Amethyst Winged Lion King's strength wasn't weak among sixth-rank magical beasts, but it was far from its match.
