Chapter 120 An Encounter with Jin Huang
"Could it be...?"
After pondering for a while, Shi An suddenly had a thought. He was absolutely certain that the unique rhythm contained in the beast's roar was the voice of his mount, the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, Jin Huang.
At the same time, seeing Shi An suddenly stop, Yun Xi also stopped and looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Shi An's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips: "The mount I brought from Hundred Broken Mountains seems to be in this area."
"A mount?"
Upon hearing Shi An's words, a hint of doubt flashed in Yun Xi's eyes. Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Is it that Azure-Eyed Golden-Pierced Beast?"
"good!"
Shi An nodded, and then followed the roar.
Seeing this, Yunxi followed suit.
Soon, the two passed through a dense forest, and suddenly the view opened up before them. In an open area, a blue-eyed golden beast with a golden glow was being attacked by several ancient beasts of various shapes.
Although the golden-eyed beast was covered in wounds, its eyes remained fierce and its fighting spirit was undiminished. It was none other than Jin Huang!
Not far away, there was another giant beast covered in fiery red scales, which looked quite powerful.
"Are we being surrounded?"
Looking at the scene not far away, Shi An frowned slightly, but did not rush to make a move.
After all, Jin Huang had abandoned his master and disappeared without a trace when he was fighting to the death with Yun Canghai.
Now, he naturally wouldn't give it a friendly look, and would directly intervene whenever it encountered danger.
"That looks like a Flame Python, and a Flame Python at the Inscription Realm."
Looking at the giant beast covered in fiery red scales, Yunxi frowned slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes: "A Flame Python at the Inscription Realm is extremely powerful. Your mount probably won't be able to handle it alone."
The Flame Python, as one of the primordial behemoths, is not only incredibly powerful but also possesses scorching flame power, making it extremely difficult to deal with. A Flame Python at the Inscription Realm is among the best, its strength not to be underestimated.
Hearing Yunxi's words, Shi An merely turned his head slightly, looking at her with a half-smile, and said, "What, you want to help?"
When Shi An turned to ask her, Yun Xi was taken aback at first, then bit her lip and said, "I just feel that since it is your mount, if it were to perish here, it would probably be a great loss for you."
"A mount?"
Shi An's gaze turned cold as he watched Jin Huang stubbornly fighting against the siege of several giant beasts. He sneered, "If it truly acknowledged me as its master, I would naturally do everything in my power to save it. But it fled alone when I was in danger; why should I help it now?"
"this········"
Looking at Shi An's cold and stern expression, Yun Xi didn't know what to say for a moment. As she said, the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast had escaped during the chaos of his battle with his grandfather. It would be unreasonable to ask him to lend a hand now.
"roar!"
However, just as the two were discussing, Jin Huang, which was not far away, also noticed the abnormality. Upon seeing that it was its former owner, it was stunned at first, but then it ran straight towards them.
"Master, help!"
Jin Huang's cries for help were tinged with panic and urgency, clearly indicating that it was in dire straits, with the Flame Python and other giant beasts nearby posing a deadly threat to it.
But Shi An did not act immediately upon seeing this. Instead, a playful smile appeared on his lips as he turned to Yun Xi and said, "Look, it's quite good at finding someone to rely on."
Hearing this, Yunxi frowned slightly. Looking at the approaching Golden Emperor and the Flame Python and other giant beasts chasing closely behind it, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
However, she did not plead with Shi An again to save her.
At the same time, just as Jin Huang was about to reach Shi An, he suddenly stopped, a complex look flashing in his eyes, as if he was hesitating whether he should really ask for help.
Seeing Jin Huang's hesitant expression, Shi An couldn't help but curl a sarcastic smile: "Now you know to ask for help?"
"When I was fighting that person, you didn't come to my rescue. You abandoned me and disappeared without a trace."
Shi An snorted coldly, his voice filled with dissatisfaction with Jin Huang's previous actions.
Jin Huang had no rebuttal to Shi An's rebuke, so he could only lower his head silently and say with a face full of guilt, "Master, I was wrong before."
"You know that I am not as strong as you. When faced with the pressure of that Venerable One, I was blinded by fear and that's why I instinctively ran away. It's not that I wanted to abandon you."
Upon seeing this, Yunxi couldn't help but hesitate.
Speaking of this, she did feel some sympathy for the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast's situation. After all, it was facing a Venerable who could make the entire Desolate Region tremble with a stomp of his foot, while it was merely a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator.
Thinking of this, Yunxi hesitated slightly and said, "Shi'an, why don't we give it a chance? After all, it is your mount."
Seeing that Yunxi was actually pleading for the other party, a hint of surprise flashed in Shi An's eyes. He remembered that Yunxi was not like this. Was she really that soft-hearted?
While pondering, Shi An looked at Yun Xi with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why would you plead for it?"
"this········"
Upon hearing this, Yunxi hesitated slightly before saying, "Perhaps it's because of my grandfather. It was because of my grandfather that it abandoned you. I'm just trying to clean up the mess for him!"
"I see."
Hearing that Yunxi had pleaded for the other party because of her grandfather's involvement, Shi An nodded in understanding. He then looked at the Flame Python and the other ferocious beasts that were observing them from a distance and asked, "Why are they chasing you so relentlessly?"
After Shi An finished speaking, Jin Huang immediately replied, "That's right, Master. I once accidentally wandered into the territory of that Flame Python and discovered a mysterious cave inside, which seems to contain something extraordinary."
"I wanted to investigate, but I didn't expect to disturb the fiery python, which led to this disaster."
As he spoke, a hint of regret and helplessness flashed across Jin Huang's face.
Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Yunxi's eyes.
"A mysterious cave?"
Similarly, Shi An raised his eyebrows slightly, pondering to himself.
For a Flame Python at the Inscription Realm to take it so seriously, the treasures in that mysterious cave must be at least at the level of a Saint-grade medicine, or at the very least a Semi-Saint-grade medicine.
After a moment's hesitation, Shi An's gaze shifted between Jin Huang and the ferocious beasts before he finally spoke slowly, "Since that's the case, then I'll help you resolve these troubles today. However..."
"Jin Huang, remember this: if you dare to desert your post again, you will not be spared!"
In the end, Shi An's voice turned cold as he gave Jin Huang a cold look.
"Yes, yes, Master, I understand."
Jin Huang nodded hurriedly, its eyes filled with a mixture of gratitude and fear. It knew that it was not easy to be saved this time, and it secretly vowed that it would never again have the slightest thought of betrayal.
