Chen Xuan's Grand Ambition

Chapter 5: Chen Xuan's Grand Ambition

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, its rays illuminating all things.

Light filtered through layers of treetops, dappling the forest floor.

Four magical beasts moved through the woods, their imposing aura scaring away weaker creatures in the vicinity.

Seated on one of them, a purple lion, was a silver-haired youth.

The silver-haired youth had a blade of dry grass in his mouth, his face radiating an uninhibited air, making him appear like a carefree young master.

If any human powerhouse were to witness this scene, their jaw would surely drop.

Of the four magical beasts, three possessed the strength of a fifth-tier creature.

The purple lion, however, possessed sixth-tier strength, and the aura it exuded was truly heart-stopping.

As for the silver-haired youth, the fluctuations in his aura were very weak, as if he were an ordinary person.

But could a youth riding a sixth-tier magical beast truly be ordinary?

"Boss, we'll be out of the Monster Beast Mountain Range soon," the Amethyst Winged Lion King reminded softly.

They had been traveling for several days, leading a few subordinates towards the Tagore Desert, and were now nearing the edge of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

During these past few days, they had encountered many human powerhouses.

In front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, these human powerhouses were simply not worth mentioning.

If it weren't for Chen Xuan not wanting to draw too much attention, the Amethyst Winged Lion King would have surely gone on a killing spree.

After all, Chen Xuan didn't want to provoke human powerhouses just yet.

"We're not familiar with the Tagore Desert, so we'll need to find a guide when we get there," Chen Xuan murmured, looking at the vast forest before him.

They just needed a little more time to get out of the forest, then travel for a bit, and finally enter the Tagore Desert.

Although he knew the Snake People Race tribe was in the Tagore Desert, he didn't know its exact location.

They would need to find someone familiar with the desert to lead the way.

And it would be best if that person also knew the location of the Snake People Race tribe.

"Boss, there's a large city in the Tagore Desert. We can go there and just grab someone to ask," the Amethyst Winged Lion King suggested.

"That's not a bad idea," Chen Xuan didn't object.

Along the way, Chen Xuan had encountered many human martial artists.

He had let the Amethyst Winged Lion King capture many people to ask for directions, which was how he learned there was a city in the Tagore Desert.

Chen Xuan believed that someone in that city would surely know the location of the Snake People Race tribe.

"Boss, why are you hiding your strength?" the Amethyst Winged Lion King asked curiously.

Currently, the aura Chen Xuan exuded was only that of a one-star Dou Zhe.

This was still the effect of devouring the Amethyst Crystal; otherwise, he wouldn't have broken through to Dou Zhe so quickly.

"We need to keep a low profile," Chen Xuan said faintly. "We shouldn't be too conspicuous when we're out, or we'll be targeted by human powerhouses, and then we'll have a mountain of trouble. Unless absolutely necessary, I will never expose myself."

"What Boss says makes sense; humans are indeed troublesome," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said, deeply convinced. "Although our magical beast physiques are strong, human powerhouses are numerous, and if a fight breaks out, it won't be in our favor."

As a sixth-tier magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had naturally crossed paths with many human powerhouses.

It knew the tactics of human powerhouses well.

In terms of strategy, magical beasts were far inferior to human powerhouses.

"Once my strength improves, Boss, I will definitely lead you all out of the Monster Beast Mountain Range and conquer human territory!" Chen Xuan declared with great ambition. "By then, all humans will bow before us, and we magical beasts will become the sole overlords of the Dou Qi Continent!"

Listening to Chen Xuan's grand words, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes filled with longing.

It hated humans because humans always hunted magical beasts.

Magical beasts dared not easily leave the Monster Beast Mountain Range, only able to cower within it.

Having lived in the Monster Beast Mountain Range for so many years, the Amethyst Winged Lion King naturally wanted to see the outside world.

But it didn't dare to go out easily.

As a sixth-tier magical beast, it was a treasure in the eyes of human powerhouses.

If it went out and was besieged by human powerhouses, its fate would be tragic.

"Boss, humans are vast in number, even more so than us magical beasts," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said with a wry smile. "Although we magical beasts have a physical advantage, humans are very cunning and will use weapons against us."

"And the number of human powerhouses is several times greater than that of powerful magical beasts like us. Once a full-scale war breaks out, we magical beasts won't gain any advantage."

"In the eyes of humans, we magical beasts are just livestock to be raised, slaves to be enslaved."

Although the Monster Beast Mountain Range was vast, magical beasts were a scattered mess.

Invading human territory was only a pipe dream.

In terms of strength, human powerhouses far outnumbered magical beasts.

This was because magical beasts cultivated too slowly and could not compare to humans.

"Don't worry, one day I'll lead you all out of the Monster Beast Mountain Range. I believe that day isn't far off," Chen Xuan said confidently. "We monster beasts will never be slaves!"

As a protagonist with a system, he still had some confidence.

How could he spend his entire life cooped up in the Monster Beast Mountain Range? That simply wouldn't do.

He already had a plan in mind.

Once his strength improved, he would unite the Monster Beast Mountain Range and form a monster beast army.

Then, he would lead that army out of the Monster Beast Mountain Range and into the Dou Qi Continent.

Thinking of the grand vision in his heart, Chen Xuan felt a surge of excitement.

He awaited that day.

"Roar!"

"Monster beasts will never be slaves!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's blood was stirred. It let out a furious roar, its lion's roar echoing with authority through the mountains and forests.

Even the three fifth-tier monster beasts let out excited roars.

"Damn it, I need to keep a low profile right now, lest someone discover us," Chen Xuan said, annoyed.

They were almost out of the Monster Beast Mountain Range and nearing human territory.

Those loud roars would be troublesome if they attracted human experts.

"Boss, your words made my blood boil, and I couldn't help but roar," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said awkwardly.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King naturally wanted to leave the Monster Beast Mountain Range and become a ruler superior to humans.

However, it understood the strength of humans, so it could only bury this aspiration deep in its heart.

Chen Xuan's words made its beast blood boil and its fighting spirit soar.

After some travel, the Amethyst Winged Lion King led Chen Xuan out of the Monster Beast Mountain Range and headed towards the Tagore Desert.

Upon reaching the Tagore Desert, they captured a few mercenaries adventuring in the desert. From them, Chen Xuan learned the location of the Snake People Race tribe.

Under Chen Xuan's coercion, the mercenaries agreed to be guides.

Not having to go into a human city to capture someone avoided a lot of trouble.

With a guide leading the way, Chen Xuan and his group ventured deeper into the Tagore Desert.

Along the way, they encountered many monster beasts that lived in the desert. Faced with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's powerful aura, these monster beasts fled far away.

They proceeded smoothly and easily towards the Snake People Race's habitat.

After passing through an oasis, they finally reached a city in the center of the desert.

"That large city ahead is where the Snake People Race tribes gather," the mercenary, who was being held captive as a guide, pointed to the large city nearby and said.

He just wanted to get away quickly; he didn't want to become a monster beast's meal.

During the days he had been held captive, he had been constantly on edge.

"Alright, you can scram now," Chen Xuan waved his hand at the mercenary.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's reply, the mercenary took off running.

"That's strange. They say the Snake People Race's territory has patrolling guards, but we haven't encountered any along the way?" Chen Xuan felt puzzled.

Along the way, he had expected to encounter Snake People Race experts blocking their path, but he hadn't seen a single one.

"Boss, didn't you notice?" the Amethyst Winged Lion King whispered. "I detect many powerful auras in that large city ahead. They're confronting each other; a battle might be about to break out."

"Uh, I didn't pay attention," Chen Xuan said, embarrassed.

He seemed to understand why they hadn't encountered any Snake People Race experts along the way.

They were probably preparing for battle.
