Rumble~ Rumble~

The snoring of Thunder Armadillos reverberated through the forest like thunder.

Li Cunxu felt somewhat helpless; how come this group of Thunder Armadillos was so coincidentally sleeping right on his way home.

Unable to provoke the Thunder Armadillos, he had to detour, though detouring added some level of uncertainty and danger.

Li Cunxu could only hope that his luck wasn't too bad and he wouldn't encounter any danger.

What you least want to happen often does.

The moon hung low, tree shadows swayed, and a gentle breeze rustled the treetops.

Everything was normal while walking in the forest until two red lantern-like eyes illuminated on the crown of the tree ahead.

In the wild, seeing red lanterns, especially two, was definitely the eyes of some Spirit Beast.

Li Cunxu took two steps forward and stopped; he felt as if those two red lanterns were staring at him.

"Is it some kind of Spirit Beast that can see through invisibility?"

Li Cunxu was considering whether to detour. If he did, it would be a longer way; if he didn't, there might be a conflict with the owner of the red lanterns.

In the next moment, the choice was made for Li Cunxu by the opponent.

In the dark forest, the red lanterns lit up one after another, resembling the lights of countless households, only in a terrifying way.

Seeing pairs of red lanterns flying towards him, Li Cunxu immediately turned and fled. As they got closer, he saw their appearance clearly.

Disheveled fur, shriveled limbs, tattered wing membranes, and vampire-like sharp teeth.

The answer was obvious — Wild Bat Dragon.

A hybrid of a dragon and a bat with the power of sonic location.

The invisibility of the invisibility cloak was useless against them; they relied on sound waves to see things.

Seeing them, Li Cunxu had no intention of fighting; the Wild Bat Dragons were united and vengeful. Provoking them was like bothering flies.

Seeing that they were about to catch up, Li Cunxu took out Xiaoruan from his arms.

"Xiaoruan, the strongest 'Bright Light'."

Xiaoruan burst out with an extremely strong light, instantly illuminating the surroundings.

While the 'flashbang' temporarily blinded the Wild Bat Dragons, Li Cunxu used the light as a cover to morph into a grain of sand.

In the sound wave vision of the Wild Bat Dragons, Li Cunxu suddenly disappeared.

Li Cunxu thought that by turning into sand, the Wild Bat Dragons would be unable to find him and leave.

However, unexpectedly... the Wild Bat Dragons, seemingly driven mad, hovered over the spot where Li Cunxu vanished and wouldn't leave.

Thump thump~

The ground trembled.

The grain of sand that Li Cunxu became was jolted into the air.

"Is this an earthquake?"

Suddenly, a terrifying dragon might descended.

The Wild Bat Dragons were all pressed to the ground by the mighty presence of the dragon, struggling to push off the ground with their hands.

The owner of the dragon might arrived, a Golden-armored T-Rex with a general's helmet and golden dragon scales covering its body.

The Golden-armored T-Rex devoured all of the Wild Bat Dragons as if they were a buffet.

After swallowing the last Wild Bat Dragon, the Golden-armored T-Rex didn't leave immediately but looked over at the spot where Li Cunxu had transformed into sand.

It didn't see through Li Cunxu's transformation, but its intuition told it something was amiss.

Just as it decided to move forward and investigate, Li Cunxu silently clenched Li Shiji's life-saving jade, and the Golden-armored T-Rex sensed a threat of death, turning and leaving decisively.

Curiosity is never as important as life.

The Golden-armored T-Rex headed towards the shadowy forest where the Wild Bat Dragons came from. As it approached the forest, countless red lanterns lit up within it.

The Golden-armored T-Rex quietly turned back, as the Wild Bat Dragons swarmed and unleashed their collective Dragon Bat Celestial Sound. Even a King-level could be intimidated and would avoid confrontation; being only an Overlord level, this creature absolutely couldn't win against them. It made more sense to retreat than sustain injuries.

After the Golden-armored T-Rex left for half an hour, Li Cunxu returned to human form and resumed his journey.

"Detour again? Detouring could cause other issues. Or go straight through the Wild Bat Dragon Forest?"

Li Cunxu felt somewhat confident about crossing the Wild Bat Dragon Forest. He could morph into an ant and traverse through it.

After glancing at the quiet Wild Bat Dragon Forest ahead, Li Cunxu decided against the idea that he only had a little confidence in.

If he ventured to the center of the Wild Bat Dragon Forest to be seen through by the Bat Dragon King and then surrounded by thousands of Wild Bat Dragons, the scene would be horrifying.

Li Cunxu chose to continue detouring.

A vast, grassy plain.

Li Cunxu saw something yellowish in the distance that he couldn't identify at first. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were Golden Wool Sheep.

The Golden Wool Sheep were the only non-dragon Spirit Beasts Li Cunxu had seen on Celestial Sea Island.

Li Cunxu was somewhat surprised; though not a dragon pet, the Golden Wool Sheep were rare Spirit Beasts.

The wool of the Golden Wool Sheep, called Golden Fleece, is the hallmark of ultra-luxury garments. Clothes made from Golden Fleece have numerous advantages: impervious to water and fire, impenetrable by blade and spear, providing warmth in winter and coolness in summer, and extreme comfort, also aiding in enhancing the speed of meditation for Beast Masters.

Since its creation, Golden Fleece apparel has always been settled with Purple Gold Dragon Coins.

For this reason, Golden Wool Sheep are hardly ever sold and are kept at home like geese that lay golden eggs.

Gazing at the group of Golden Wool Sheep huddling together while sleeping, Li Cunxu felt as if he saw a pile of Purple Gold Dragon Coins scattered on the ground, waiting for him to pick them up.

"Xiaoruan, prepare to catch sheep."

"Wait, don't rush just yet."

Xiaoruan jumped from Li Cunxu's arms into the air, then got caught back by him.

Li Cunxu wasn't swept away by greed; he remembered a question he had been ignoring.

Why are there so many Golden Wool Sheep here?

Before thinking about that question, he needed to consider whether Golden Wool Sheep were strong.

Golden Wool Sheep are strong and not strong.

They're strong in that they can reach the Golden level upon adulthood, with no hindrance in leveling up; they naturally move to the Golden level once they mature.

Tens of thousands of Golden-level Golden Wool Sheep - that lineup is quite intimidating.

But they're weak in that they aren't good at fighting. Due to species limitations, Golden Wool Sheep can only learn the 'Head-on Collision' skill and no others.

Though thousands of Golden-level Golden Wool Sheep seem numerous and mighty, in reality, they are poor fighters and even worse in team battles. Just one Lord-level Golden Armor Tyrant Dragon, one level higher than Gold, could defeat this group of Golden Wool Sheep one by one, leaving them trembling in fear and scattering in all directions.

Could the Golden Wool Sheep collectively charge against the Golden Armor Tyrant Dragon and maybe counterattack?

Sorry, they couldn't. Golden Wool Sheep lack cohesion; they won't charge together, nor will they flee together.

The cohesiveness of Golden Wool Sheep is inferior even to the Slimes.

Though they seem to gather to graze, they do not form a community; each one is an individual entity.

This can be seen in the fact that no Sheep King emerges from the flock of Golden Wool Sheep.

"So, how can a powerless bunch of Golden Wool Sheep secure a place on this Celestial Sea Island teeming with dragons?"

"Moreover, I remember besides their Golden Fleece being top-notch, their meat is also delicious, especially appealing to dragons."

Li Cunxu stood there for quite a while but didn't see a single dragon coming to the prairie to snatch Golden Wool Sheep for food.
