Chapter 315: Gargoyle Rats

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The shaking of the ground forebode the appearance of caves of ghosts and eruptions of Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals. Those men were pierced through by the flying rocks. Little White was not particularly strong in its defense, so Lu Li was worried.

Ming Yu grabbed Lu Li to stop him from rushing over. After picking one white Soul Crystal up, Little White made a dash forward. It even sped up, not influenced by the gravity for one bit.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

A cave of ghosts appeared, and a purple glow covered the sky. Little White swallowed that piece of Soul Crystal and then ate some more before it rushed back.

"Squeak, squeak~"

Right at that moment, there came more than a dozen black rats from the cave of ghosts. Each one of the rats was as large as a human head with black glare on its fur. Their eyes were blue. They had four tusks in their mouths with cold glares, clearly an indication of toxins.

What surprised people the most were the claws. They were not like regular claws that rats had, but more like talons of eagles. The claws were shining as if they were made of metal.

The more than a dozen rats charged to all directions as soon as they were out of the cave. One of them was running towards Little White and a couple of them were dashing towards Lu Li.

"The Gargoyle Rats!"

Jiang Hao was frightened. He shouted, "Jiang Ming, Jiang Yan, attack! Do not let the rats hurt anyone."

Jiang Hao turned to Lu Li, Ming Yu, and Yu Huashen and said, "My friends, please take care of Qiling. I need to kill those rats. They are very dangerous."

Lu Li nodded. From the neck of Jiang Hao came out a purple sun. He rushed forward. The sun mark whooshed out and turned into one with a diameter of more than 10 feet. With burning flames, the sun rushed towards a Gargoyle Rat.

"Whoosh~"

Another two elder warriors of the Noble Lord Realm came as well. One of them released his Bead of Life and the other one used his Bloodline Skill, a sixth-rank one featuring a blurry flying spur.

"Yu Huashen, bring Little White back to me~"

Lu Li shouted to Yu Huashen. He was not in the mood to observe their powerful skills now. Jiang Hao had chosen to fight the Gargoyle Rats before taking care of his own granddaughter. Therefore, the Gargoyle Rats must be very terrifying. Lu Li was worried about Little White.

Yu Huashen rushed out after he told Ming Yu to protect Lu Li, then a blue flames mark on his neck glowed. He was ready to kill the Gargoyle Rats with his flames and sparks.

"Squeak, squeak~"

Little White was on its way back. It suddenly felt there were some Xuan Beasts chasing after it. Little White was enraged and it paused unexpectedly. It turned around, stared at the Gargoyle Rats with its manes pointing to the sky. Powerful qi and energy came out which made that Gargoyle Rat halt all of a sudden.

"Little White, you get back here!"

Lu Li shouted in anger again. Little White could control Gargoyle Rats? If Jiang Hao or somebody else noticed this, they would come and take Little White away.

Little White sensed the anger in Lu Li’s voice. It rushed back quickly. Yu Huashen cooperated with Little White by enveloping a Gargoyle Rat ahead of Little White in his dragon of flames.

"Squeak, squeak~"

However, the Gargoyle Rat came through the flames. Dark light glowed on its fur. Yu Huashen’s sixth-rank Bloodline Skill could not even harm the rat.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

Jiang Hao and the two elder warriors of the Noble Lord Realm and some at the Eternal Realm made their moves. Luckily, nobody noticed what Little White did.

Lu Li turned to Jiang Qiling and asked in curiosity, "Lady Qi, which rank are those Xuan Beasts at? They cannot even be hurt by sixth-rank Bloodline Skills?"

Jiang Qiling threw Little White a meaningful glance but she made no comment or inquire. She only answered Lu Li’s question, "The Gargoyle Rats were originally only of the fifth-rank, but they have being eating the Purple Xuan Crystal and Soul Crystals for years so they are mutated. Now they should be at the sixth-rank. The defense of Gargoyle Rats are surprising. Normal warriors of the Eternal Realm cannot do the rats any harm. Also, the rats’ speeds are not impaired here. Their toxins are terrible, too. Once a person is bitten, the person will be turned into a rat in human form and will attack companions. If another person is bitten by this human rat, this one will also be hurt since the toxins are contagious. That is why my grandpa is so worried…"

"Freaky!"

Lu Li was surprised, but he was not too worried as Little White could control the Gargoyle Rats so at least the Gargoyle Rats wouldn’t attack them.

Yu Huashen felt ashamed for not being able to hurt one Gargoyle Rat. He released his Bead of Life, his Sparks Profound Meaning, and he became more powerful at once. That particular Gargoyle Rat was burnt and it screamed and ran. In the end, it ran back to the cave of ghosts.

Lu Li glanced over to Jiang Hao and he was stunned by what he saw. This commander-in-chief was really powerful. A Gargoyle Rat was ground and burnt as soon as the sun rushed over the rat. The rat died on the spot.

"What kind of Bloodline Skill is this?" Lu Li asked with curiosity.

Jiang Qiling explained, "Seventh-rank Bloodline, Solar Erosion."

"Oh!"

Lu Li suddenly remembered something. He took a look at Jiang Qiling’s neck and asked, "Lady Qi, you come from a big family, don’t you? How come…you don’t have any Bloodline Skill?"

"Who told you that?"

Jiang Qiling smiled a mocking smile and replied, "The Bloodline I awoke is great. Otherwise, my Family would not cherish me so much and he… he wouldn’t have to die."

"Great?"

Lu Li and Ming Yu were shocked. Lu Li asked with a frown, "Do you have any secret skills that can help you conceal your Bloodline mark? As far as I remember, only warriors above the Eternal Realm can hide Bloodline marks. Am I wrong?"

"Ha, ha, the Pavilion of Delicacy have a handful of this kind of secret skills."

Jiang Qiling laughed again. Suddenly, with a dark glow, a butterfly mark on her neck appeared, but for one second only before it disappeared again. Clearly, she had used her secret skill to cover it up again.

Even though it was like the morning dew that appeared and disappeared quickly, Lu Li and Yu Huashen had seen it clearly. They looked at each other, both feeling astonished.

It was a beautiful butterfly mark, even sexy. But this was not important. The important part was that—the butterfly was black in color!

Her Bloodline mark was black.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, golden.

A black Bloodline mark came with an eight-rank Bloodline. For more than 10,000 years, there was nobody with an eighth-rank Bloodline of the entire Northern Desert. This slut had one?

Lu Li knew that some big families and the 12 Royal Families of the Northern Desert had eighth-rank Bloodlines. If the animal tooth pendant didn’t mess with him, he probably would awaken an eighth-rank Bloodline as well.

Lu Li believed that anyone that could awaken eighth-rank Bloodline must stand high above the masses, even in the 12 Royal Families. Those people must be respected and surrounded by powerful warriors and they might even be arrogant, but they would not be sluts like Jiang Qiling.

Lu Li looked at Jiang Qiling up and down. He couldn’t help but ask, "Lady Qi, with all due respect, what is your father’s position at the Pavilion of Delicacy?"

"Position?"

The mocking smile grew bigger on Jiang Qiling’s face. She said in a voice with zero emotions, "My father is Jiang Wuwo!"

"Jiang Wuwo?" Lu Li and Ming Yu were baffled. Was Jiang Wuwo famous?

Lu Li threw Jiang Qiling a curious look. She rolled her eyes at him and replied, "Lu Li, so you are not from the Central Plains? You don’t know Jiang Wuwo? He is so famous here. He is the current Master of the Pavilion of Delicacy."

"…"

Lu Li and Ming Yu were rendered speechless. This slut was the daughter of the Master of the Pavilion of Delicacy.
