Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 779 - 491: Giant Fierce Beast

The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing a sinister Demon Beast that no one had ever seen before.

The Demon Beast was as massive as a mountain, its body covered in a layer of pitch-black scales.

Its limbs were thick and powerful, with claws as sharp as scimitars, glistening with a chilling sheen.

But the most striking feature was its belly and mouth, which seemed highly disproportionate to its enormous size.

Its belly was bulging, as if it might explode at any moment!

And its mouth was unbelievably large, occupying almost two-thirds of its head.

Within that gaping maw, there were no fangs.

Just by looking at this painting, everyone seemed to feel a terror deep within their souls!

"What... what is this monstrous thing?!"

Xu Pingzhi stared at the Demon Beast on the scroll, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Everyone present was among the most knowledgeable of the Human Race.

Yet, when faced with this bizarre Demon Beast, they were all at a loss.

Only Lin Chen, upon seeing the painting, experienced a slight constriction of his pupils.

A strange feeling of familiarity surged into his heart.

Where had he seen it before?

Just as he was lost in thought,

beside him, Liu Gu suddenly nudged him gently with his elbow.

Lin Chen instinctively turned his head.

He met Liu Gu's probing gaze.

"Do you..."

Liu Gu lowered his voice, speaking in a tone audible only to the two of them.

"also feel it's somewhat familiar?"

Liu Gu's words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly clearing the fog in Lin Chen's mind.

His pupils widened abruptly.

Familiarity!

Indeed!

Precisely familiar!

The only common connection between him and Liu Gu was...

Bai Ling!

Calamity-Devouring Beast!

Exactly.

The Demon Beast on the scroll, though vastly different in size and appearance from the Calamity-Devouring Beast in his memory,

its form was exactly like Bai Ling's Calamity-Devouring Beast!

But, Bai Ling's Calamity-Devouring Beast had no offensive capabilities.

"No... Impossible..."

Almost instantly, Liu Gu instinctively dismissed this thought he himself found utterly absurd.

"It certainly can't be her!"

"Back then, Bai Ling's Origin Power had been completely stripped away, and the Calamity-Devouring Beast was dead!"

"This, we all witnessed with our own eyes!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen also slowly nodded.

Reason told him the same.

It was impossible.

Bai Ling had long since lost all her power.

The Calamity-Devouring Beast had died to save Bai Ling by shielding her from divine tribulation, how could it transform into the bloodthirsty beast now ravaging the Celestial Capital?

"Enough."

At last, it was the Great Elder who spoke, breaking the eerie silence.

"For now, let us not make reckless speculations on this matter."

"The situation in the Celestial Capital is not our concern."

"Our immediate priority is to prepare for the impending war with the Divine Race!"

"We must issue the 'Spirit Alliance Gathering Order' immediately!"

"Also, dispatch all scouts to monitor the movements of the three Great Gods around the clock!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, everyone became serious, responding in unison.

With the great war looming, there truly was no extra mental capacity to ponder other matters now.

...

The night was deep.

Lin Chen pushed open the door to Qin Shaoshao's room.

Inside the room, Qin Shaoshao was quietly sitting cross-legged.

She was surrounded by a faint emerald glow, full of a peaceful vitality.

Noticing Lin Chen's arrival, she slowly opened her eyes.

"How are things?"

Lin Chen sat down on the cushion opposite her and asked softly.

"Alright."

Qin Shaoshao nodded, her voice still cold.

"The body remains relatively stable for the time being."

She paused, a complex expression flashing through her deep-set eyes.

"There's something I must tell you."

"'She' didn't really die."

"What?!"

Lin Chen was startled upon hearing this.

"Then she..."

"I don't know why either."

Qin Shaoshao slowly shook her head.

"At the critical moment of fusion, she willingly ceased her resistance and handed control of this body over to me."

"So..."

She looked directly at Lin Chen, her tone becoming more serious than ever before.

"Sometimes, I'm not trustworthy either."

"You must be prepared for that possibility."

Lin Chen was taken aback, then let out a bitter smile.

He knew Qin Shaoshao was warning him; she didn't know when that dark personality might reawaken.

"I will find a way to resolve this."

Lin Chen said.

Then Qin Shaoshao seemed to think of something else and spoke again:

"There's one more thing, about the Tree Ancestor."

"Tree Ancestor?!"

Lin Chen's spirit was instantly invigorated!

"I can sense its presence."

Qin Shaoshao said slowly.

"It's still alive."

"Back when 'she' was in control of this body, she had already perceived its existence and even attempted to destroy it completely."

"Moreover, I can clearly feel."

"It was absorbing the residual power within that Spiritual Forbidden Area to heal itself."

Hearing this news, Lin Chen's face was instantly filled with immense joy.

Tree Ancestor!

The Tree Ancestor is still alive?!

This was undoubtedly tremendous news for Lin Chen!

Suppressing his excitement, he decided to inform the Great Elder of this the next day!
