#1271 - Chapter 1271 The Four Divine Beasts

A chilling sensation swept through his entire body, the sharp thorns on the scales causing Ye Kong to feel a stinging pain.

In this vast and endless darkness, Ye Kong could only rely on his senses to slowly explore.

The rough, hot panting beside his ear was astonishingly loud, and the saliva that splattered on Ye Kong's neck felt like a burning sensation.

Suddenly, in an instant, light filled the entire earth.

The Zhuyin Feather Dragon had opened its eyes.

In an instant, Ye Kong closed his eyes, taking a while to adjust to the sudden brightness. When he opened his eyes again, the Four Divine Beasts were close at hand, staring at their prey with fierce eyes.

The prey, Ye Kong, was not at all aware that disaster was imminent, and instead felt relaxed. He suddenly remembered something.

Years ago, someone accidentally broke into the Border City, activating the Divine Beasts that were imprisoned there, and the Divine Beasts began to break through the barrier and emerge. Once the Divine Beasts were released, life would be ruined, and the destruction of the world would be imminent.

In order to avoid disaster, before the Divine Beasts broke through the restraints and shattered the barrier, the Upper Realm specifically assembled a large group of talented individuals from various families, led by the Taichu Academy, to re-suppress the Divine Beasts of the Border City, which was also known as the "Qinghai" mission.

This mission was exceptionally grand at the time, and the Upper Realm specifically conducted a hundred-day selection and training activity, which later became open to all those who passed the selection.

This also allowed many unregistered but capable individuals to showcase their abilities. Being among them, they prepared for this mission even more thoroughly than for resisting foreign enemies, which was enough to show how much importance was attached to it.

Along with the disappearance of this event, the Four Divine Beasts also became stable, no longer attacking the barrier, and staying obediently in this cage.

Now, looking at it, why did this mission end inconclusively? Why did the Four Divine Beasts suddenly become violent and then suddenly quiet down? Why did everyone stop asking about this major event?

As Ye Kong looked at the appearance of the Four Divine Beasts, these huge mysteries flashed a terrifying thought in his mind.

Including this time when Ye Kong was thrown in here, suddenly everything became traceable.

Either they would perish together, or Ye Kong would solve the trouble of the Four Divine Beasts. In any case, either of these outcomes was what those people wanted to see most.

Ye Kong smiled contemptuously.

He thought of a third way.

He wouldn't perish together with the Four Divine Beasts. Since the Divine Beasts were called Divine Beasts, there was a necessity for their existence, and perhaps he would need to borrow their abilities in the future. If Ye Kong were to kill the Four Divine Beasts alone, he would eventually become a target of public criticism, like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Then, he would subdue them for his own use.

Ye Kong heard a sneer beside his ear, as if mocking Ye Kong's foolish idea.

Ye Kong tightened his arms, using force to knock the Four Divine Beasts beside him several meters away, and then a large amount of fresh air poured into his throat. Ye Kong became more awake and felt even more that his idea was right.

But the immediate plan was, how to subdue the Four Divine Beasts, which became a big trouble.

The Divine Beasts had been fighting for many years, never willing to lag behind. To ask them to listen to Ye Kong was simply a fantasy. Moreover, they couldn't understand at all, and they would definitely not condescend to food.

Of course, Ye Kong still had a secret weapon that he hadn't used.

"System, how can I subdue the Four Divine Beasts?" Ye Kong asked.

"Since they are the Four Divine Beasts, they must not be subdued. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"You can defeat them and leave one alive to deter them!"

It seemed that a fierce battle was unavoidable.

"Then can I ask, where are the breakthrough points of the Four Divine Beasts?" Ye Kong asked before taking action.

"Use their own spear to attack their own shield."

Ye Kong aimed at the positions of the Four Divine Beasts and first chose the Yuxiang Teng Snake as a breakthrough point, after all, he still had some experience in dealing with Yuan Yang. Although it was a Divine Beast, physiological fear was something that came from the genes. Therefore, when Ye Kong sacrificed the Samadhi True Fire, the Yuxiang Teng Snake visibly shrank back into the darkness.

Ye Kong didn't intend to stop when things were good, and directly ignited the Samadhi True Fire, trapping the Yuxiang Teng Snake firmly here.

At this moment, the Nu Haiwei Kui rushed towards Ye Kong.

Eager to be delivered?

Ye Kong smiled, took out a Yellow Emperor's Drum from his brocade pouch, borrowed a drumstick from the system, aimed at the front of the Nu Haiwei Kui, and beat the drum hard.

One beat after another, the rhythmic drumbeats echoed in this wilderness.

Suddenly, the distant Nu Haiwei Kui seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, his body fell down, trembling incessantly.

Ye Kong increased the drum sound, and even playfully beat the drum into a song, and a peerless divine song of chanting the heavens and the earth was born.

It's just that, the happier Ye Kong was, the more painful the Nu Haiwei Kui was.

He even fell softly on the ground without any resistance, like a pile of mud.

Ye Kong stopped and put the drum on the ground, just placing it in front of the Nu Haiwei Kui was enough to make him not dare to move a bit.

Sure enough, Ye Kong's journey to the sea of learning was not in vain, and it was not wasted at all.

The two distant Divine Beasts saw this and flew towards Ye Kong together.

Don't worry, there's still you.

Ye Kong was indifferent, none of them could escape.

When the Zhuyin Feather Dragon rushed over, Ye Kong smiled on his face, jumped lightly, and jumped directly onto the Zhuyin Feather Dragon's back. Ye Kong picked up his long sword, aimed at his palm, and gently slashed it, and a bloodstain spread from his fair palm.

Drops of blood flowed down, soaking Ye Kong's clothes. Of course, most of it fell on the Feather Dragon.

The Yang energy in Ye Kong's blood was very strong, and no one except Ye Kong could withstand it. Ye Kong generously sprinkled it on the Feather Dragon, and suddenly, the Feather Dragon's body was corroded with a sizzling sound.

It kept corroding through the thick scales, directly falling on the epidermis and merging into the Feather Dragon's blood.

It was a poison.

The Feather Dragon fell directly to the ground, his entire eyes filled with bloodthirsty red. If he moved any more, the poisonous blood would spread throughout his body.

After that, Ye Kong looked for a long time and carefully borrowed a dragon scale arrow from the Zhuyin Feather Dragon.

In fact, it was Ye Kong who carefully broke it off. It has to be said that the Divine Beasts' bodies are full of treasures.

Ye Kong rummaged for a long time and finally found the divine bow he wanted, put on the dragon scale arrow, and shot it right at Mei Zhantao Wu. Mei Zhantao Wu roared and fell straight down, the golden feathers instantly dimmed.

He fell to the ground, his head hanging heavily, only the white air at the tip of his nose showed that he was still alive.

At this point, the Four Divine Beasts were all tortured to the point of being dying by Ye Kong. Ye Kong made the most of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and showed very powerfully that the biggest difference between humans and animals is the use of tools.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the Divine Beasts are still stuck on their own divine power.

Although no one can beat them, their shortcomings are fully revealed.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Four Divine Beasts mission, please specify the reward!"
