Abnormal Activity in the Mountains

Nuoge's arrival officially signaled yet another failure of the beasts' attack.

A ninth-level World Lord, and World Lord recognized by the Universe Origin Law, is already the most powerful being in the remote regions of the Noah Continent!

Only a handful of Beast King, the few remaining in those Vast Mountain Range, can rival such a powerful being.

The villagers of Noah Village were busy treating their wounded companions, reinforcing the fences, and rebuilding the arrow towers. Another attack from the wild beasts was likely, and they had to get their defenses in place before then. However, these fortifications were utterly ineffective against the truly powerful members of the beast horde.

Nuoge frowned as he looked at the three carcasses of the Fierce Beast before him. "Why is this happening? This is the third time this month that wild animals have attacked the camp."

Blood dripped from the burly man's body as he said in distress, "We don't know what's going on. These beasts seem to be on some kind of command, attacking us every time under the command of several Sector Lord level Fierce Beast, charging without any regard for losses."

"Oh, right, I remember now."

The burly man seemed to suddenly remember something, abruptly looked up, and said, "It seems the attacks by these wild beasts started ever since we rescued that young man. Do you think it's possible?"

As he spoke, the burly man glanced at Nuoge cautiously.

After all, the one who defied everyone's objections to save Luo Zhe was Nuoge. If it weren't for his father Nuotuo's reputation as village chief and Nuoge's status as the strongest person in the village, many others would have strongly objected.

Nuoge raised an eyebrow and gave the burly man a deep look.

He immediately turned around, saying as he walked, "That young man possesses the Noah Token, making him highly likely Divine Envoy from the Temple. I don't want to hear similar things again, and I'm sure the villagers wouldn't want to hear such words from your mouth either."

Upon hearing this, the burly man was immediately taken aback. Divine Envoy from the Temple?!

"Nuoge, explain yourself! Is he really Divine Envoy from the Temple? Did you see his Noah Token with your own eyes? Hey, hey, don't go!" He quickly caught up with Nuoge, seeking an answer.

The Temple's Divine Envoy have not descended again for thousands of years.

*****

In the vast mountains, several enormous Beast King were gathered in front of a huge lake.

"I object. That kid from Noah Village is not someone to be trifled with. Provoking him at this time will only cause us trouble. Besides, our most important task right now is to wait for the Macaque King to successfully transform. Acting rashly will only alert him!"

A massive Cyan Python coiled its body, its forked tongue flicking, and coldly said, "If we alert those Madman in the Temple and they launch another massive sweep, then our beast race will have no chance to rise again. 👣🔥 🐍♡"

A giant ape licked its snow-white fur, its long, narrow, and deep eyes silently sweeping over the several Beast King around it, taking in the expressions on their faces.

He sighed and explained, "Even if we don't provoke him now, won't they come after us? Don't forget, the Ghost Shark in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains failed in its transformation because of the sudden intrusion of a group of humans."

"The hatred between humans and us didn't develop overnight. They'll slaughter our own kind for food, for survival, and even to become stronger." The Snow-White Ape turned to the silent blue wolf beside it and said, "Azure Wolf King, you've fought the most human powerhouses among us, so you're the most qualified to speak on this. What are your thoughts?"

The Azure Wolf King is the leader of a large wolf pack that roams the edge of the Cangmang Mountain Range. He commands tens of thousands of blue wolves and wields considerable power. However, because the wolf pack roams a large area, they often encounter humans who venture into the mountains to hunt, making battles between the two sides inevitable.

In human hunting teams, the strongest member of the village naturally leads the team. For example, in Noah Village's hunting team, Nuoge is the captain. Therefore, over the past few decades, the Azure Wolf King has fought Nuoge several times, and in the most recent encounters, the Azure Wolf King has almost failed to escape.

The speed of human progress is truly astonishing!

The Azure Wolf King remained silent, facing the various meaningful gazes of the other Beast King, before slowly speaking, "I support the Snake King. Provoking that human now will only create unnecessary trouble for us."

"You've probably been scared out of your wits by that human!"

A massive Silver Thunder Eagle spread its wings, stretched its body, and sent a gust of wind swaying the surrounding trees. "If you're too cowardly to fight, then let us handle it. After all, we weren't beaten to a pulp by that human before, and we almost lost our lives at his hands."

"You!!" The Azure Wolf King's blue fur suddenly bristled, revealing bloodstained wolf fangs.

Thump!

The Snow-White Ape slammed its fist into the ground, creating a huge crater. Water from the lake flowed down the edge of the crater and quickly filled it.

"Have you all had enough of this noise?!" The Snow-White Ape flew above the lake, its snow-white fur still as clean as ever.

After scanning the surrounding Beast King with his cold eyes, seeing that none of them spoke, he spoke again, "The Eagle King's men harassing Noah Village was with my permission. You, Azure Wolf King, have already sent your men to help. What's with this going back on your word?"

"I don't care what you're all up to. I have only one request: before the Macaque King undergoes his transformation, you must keep that human firmly pinned down in the village and not allow him to move!" the Snow-White Ape said. "You all know the strength of those Madman in the Temple. If they're truly determined to sweep through, we'll be utterly powerless."

"Now, the only one we can rely on, the only one we can use to rebel, is the Macaque King!"

"With the Macaque King's strength, once he successfully undergoes his transformation, he will definitely become an absolute powerhouse among his peers! Only in this way will we have a chance to survive, only in this way will we have a chance to be accepted by Lord Noah, and only in this way will the beast race have a sliver of hope to survive!" the Snow-White Ape said in a deep voice.

A gigantic White Tiger with wings on its back flapped its wings and suddenly asked, "If Lord Noah refuses to accept the Macaque King's submission, what should we do? Wait to die?!"

Awkward silence--

All the Beast King felt as if a heavy boulder was pressing down on their hearts. Yes, what if Lord Noah was unwilling to accept them?

In Noah Village.

At this moment, Luo Zhe was receiving a warm welcome from the Nuotuo family. The table was filled with all kinds of meat. Although Luo Zhe did not recognize any of them, they looked very appetizing. There were also various exotic plant fruits picked from the vegetable garden next to him, each one looking delicate and tempting, making Luo Zhe's mouth water.

"Lord Luo Zhe, come, come, have a taste. This is a bone soup made from the Fierce Fang Beast unique to the Vast Mountain Range. You can't find it anywhere else."

The milky white, almost gelatinous animal bone broth emitted a unique aroma that whetted Luo Zhe's appetite.

I picked it up with both hands, took a big gulp, and immediately felt a warm current flowing through my stomach and intestines, a warm feeling rising from within my body.

"Cool!"
