Sun Tieshan watched the Thunder Beast’s affectionate behavior towards the two eggs and couldn’t help but ponder.
Valuing treasures was natural, but Sun Tieshan felt that the Thunder Beast’s level of care and affection for these treasures seemed to exceed the normal range.
It felt as if these treasures were the Thunder Beast’s children.
Wait, children?
Sun Tieshan suddenly shivered all over, looking at the Thunder Beast in disbelief.
Could these treasures really be its children?
These treasures were the Thunder Beast’s eggs!
Pfft…
When Sun Tieshan realized the truth, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. This was too much! He had been so happy, thinking it was some rare treasure, even fighting with Sun Rui over it.
But it turned out to be the Thunder Beast’s eggs all along!
No wonder the Thunder Beast went berserk, killing so many members of the Sun Family. Imagine if someone took its eggs; wouldn’t it go mad?
For a moment, Sun Tieshan was so angry that he trembled all over. That so-called boy who gave them the treasure was too deceitful! He said he was giving them a treasure as an apology, but it turned out to be the Thunder Beast’s eggs. This was definitely intentional!
“Ah… This infuriates me! So the so-called rare treasure is the Thunder Beast’s egg. That damned boy tricked our entire Sun Family. He deserves to die.”
Sun Tieshan pounded his chest and stomped his feet, almost causing internal injuries. If Terra Su were standing in front of him now, he would tear him to pieces without hesitation.
At this moment, Sun Tieshan didn’t consider that if he hadn’t greedily demanded to split the two eggs with Sun Rui, he wouldn’t have lost an arm now.
“When I find that boy Sun Rui mentioned, I’ll cut him into a thousand pieces to vent my anger!”
Sun Tieshan gritted his teeth, making a vow in his heart.
But.
Just as Sun Tieshan was about to turn and leave.
A massive shadow suddenly blocked his path.
It was the Thunder Beast!
“Thunder Beast, didn’t we agree? I return your eggs, and you let us go?”
Sun Tieshan felt a chill in his heart. Could the Thunder Beast have changed its mind?
Humph!
The Thunder Beast snorted coldly, the murderous intent in its eyes saying it all.
“No, you’re breaking your word!” Sun Tieshan retreated in disbelief. Could Monster Beasts be as untrustworthy as humans? Was this the end for him?
In fact, it was easy to understand why the Thunder Beast acted this way. To the Thunder Beast, the human in front of it was too despicable. He had taken its eggs and claimed he hadn’t, even threatening to fight to the death. Such a vile human didn’t deserve any trust; he should be killed outright.
Roar!
The Thunder Beast roared and lunged at Sun Tieshan.
Sun Tieshan was terrified, knowing the Thunder Beast wasn’t joking. He immediately burned his True Essence and fled towards the edge of the Skywind Mountains.
Burning True Essence had significant side effects for a Martial Practitioner, damaging the Dantian. At best, it would drastically lower one’s cultivation level; at worst, it could cripple them.
But at this moment, Sun Tieshan couldn’t care about the side effects. Survival was paramount. Burning his True Essence increased his speed by thirty percent, making him as fast as lightning.
The Thunder Beast snorted heavily, then leaped high, carefully placing the two eggs on the treetop of a giant tree.
Afterwards, the Thunder Beast spread its four legs, causing the ground to tremble as it chased in the direction Sun Tieshan had fled.
“Our chance has come.”
Not far away, Terra Su stood up leisurely on a large rock, his eyes flickering with a star-like gleam.
“You want to take the two eggs?”
Gu Qianyin looked up at the branch where the Thunder Beast had placed the eggs, her brows furrowing slightly. “But that branch is at least thirty meters above the ground. We can’t reach it.”
The Thunder Beast wasn’t stupid. It placed the eggs high to prevent anyone from taking them. There were no bird Monster Beasts in the Skywind Mountains, so placing them high meant no one could take them.
No matter how extraordinary Terra Su was, he couldn’t grow wings.
So, Gu Qianyin concluded that Terra Su couldn’t get the two eggs.
But Terra Su smiled. “We can’t reach it, but can’t we cut down the tree?”
“You… you want to cut down the tree? Are you joking?”
Gu Qianyin’s cherry lips parted in surprise. It wasn’t that she wanted to pour cold water on Terra Su’s plan, but the tree’s diameter was at least ten meters.
Such a tree would take a day and a night to cut down, and the Thunder Beast would return long before that.
Not to mention, figuring out where to start cutting such a thick tree was a huge problem.
“Let’s go cut the tree.”
Terra Su, unfazed, walked directly towards the giant tree, and Gu Qianyin could only follow.
“Little Fire!”
Standing before the giant tree, Terra Su called out.
The Celestial Fire infant immediately jumped out of Terra Su’s arms. “Master, what are your orders?”
“Set this tree on fire.”
Terra Su pointed at the giant tree and gave the order.
The Celestial Fire infant obeyed, opening its mouth to spew a scorching flame at the giant tree.
“So he plans to burn the tree first, then cut it.”
Gu Qianyin finally understood Terra Su’s intention, but she shook her head.
“Unfortunately, this is the famous Ironheart Wood of the Skywind Mountains. It’s extremely hard to burn…”
Gu Qianyin believed Terra Su’s plan would fail.
But the next moment, her beautiful eyes widened.
The flame from the Celestial Fire infant instantly ignited the giant tree.
In just a few breaths, the tree was engulfed in a raging fire, and the flames grew stronger by the second.
“How is this possible? He actually set the Ironheart Wood on fire?”
Gu Qianyin couldn’t believe her eyes. To ignite Ironheart Wood instantly required extremely high-temperature flames, far beyond ordinary fire.
She hadn’t expected that the strange little flame creature Terra Su carried could do it.
Gu Qianyin’s eyes sparkled with wonder. Just how many more secrets did Terra Su have hidden?
“Little Fire, increase the intensity.”
Under Terra Su’s urging, the Celestial Fire infant spewed several more flames.
The Ironheart Wood burned fiercely, its trunk gradually turning black, indicating it had turned to charcoal.
Once the trunk was carbonized, cutting it would be much easier.
“One Sword, Eleven Waves!”
Terra Su drew the Cang Hai Sword, and the carbonized trunk, under the power of “One Sword, Eleven Waves,” was as fragile as dry leaves. The sword light cut through it effortlessly.
Soon, under Terra Su’s relentless chopping, the giant tree crashed to the ground.
