The World of Beasts: Snake, I am the mother of all dragons

Suddenly, Mo Nie seemed to remember something. He raised his head sharply, staring at his subordinates with a sharp gaze and asked, "Where is Xia Shuangyou? Where is she now?"

The subordinate was slightly startled, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and then he reacted and stammered, "Xia... Miss Xia, there is no news for the time being. We sent people to look for her, but..."

"enough!"

Mo Nie roared, interrupting his subordinate, "That guy must have gotten away, Xia Shuangyou..."

His voice was filled with resentment and unwillingness, as if Xia Shuangyou's disappearance was a betrayal of him.

At this time, the previous stronghold has become a cemetery. Xia Shuangyou is relying on the unique abilities she inherited to move freely among the mess of corpses.

Relying on the system, she continued to find some valuable skills from the corpses.

His eyes were calm and sharp, without a trace of fear or mercy on this bloody battlefield.

At the same time, Xia Shuangyou, who had been lurking here these days, noticed a strange phenomenon from afar.

Lie Xiaotian was seen frequently going back and forth towards the dungeon, and every time he went, he would bring with him the corpse of a ferocious beast. But strangely, those corpses never came out again.

"What's the use of a ferocious beast's corpse? I remember that a ferocious beast's corpse doesn't even have edible value, right?"

Xia Shuangyou's heart moved, knowing that there must be a hidden secret. A trace of determination flashed in her eyes. When no one was around, she would sneak into the dungeon to find out what was going on and see if there would be any unexpected gains.

In the dark and damp corner of the dungeon, there was a disgusting stench of decay.

Dugu Ran was seriously injured and leaned weakly against the cold wall.

His clothes were tattered and stained with blood, and his face was full of fatigue and pain.

But his eyes were red as blood, staring at Lie Xiaotian in front of him with rage burning in his eyes.

"Lie Xiaotian, as the city lord, you actually use the blood and flesh of ferocious beasts to improve yourself. Aren't you afraid of backlash?"

Dugu Ran's voice became hoarse due to anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Wu Ji Lingxi had clearly stated that the blood and flesh of ferocious beasts would pollute the orcs' minds, eventually turning them into bloodthirsty, irrational monsters.

But Lie Xiaotian sneered nonchalantly, a hint of madness on his face. "Isn't this all because of you aristocratic families! Do I have any choice to avoid being suppressed by you? If I hadn't consumed the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts, how could I have survived the beast tide?"

"What's more, those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Compared with their powerful strength, a little side effect is not worth mentioning at all!"

As he spoke, he slowly approached Dugu Ran, his eyes revealing a hint of ferocity: "On the contrary, you, have you ever thought about what will happen if you fall into my hands today?"

In the dim dungeon, a few faint beams of light struggled to squeeze in from the narrow ventilation holes. Although he was in pain all over, Dugu Ran's eyes were still firm and blazing, and he looked directly at Lie Xiaotian without fear.

"What on earth do you want to do? You deliberately create panic in Beast City and let rumors spread, and you do nothing about it!"

Upon hearing this, Lie Xiaotian curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, but there was no warmth in that smile.

"Since you're about to die a worthy death, I'll satisfy your curiosity. You don't really think I'm interested in the so-called position of city lord, do you?"

His voice was low and cold, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"The title of City Lord and Beast King is just a beautiful title. Ultimately, it's just a line of defense organized by the tribes to resist the ferocious beasts. The title of City Lord is just a title for the organizer."

Lie Xiaotian raised his head slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if he was full of contempt for this position that once attracted countless people.

Dugu Ran listened, his brows furrowed, and he suppressed his pain as he said coldly, "Since you know it clearly, why have you been so hardworking and uncomplaining for so many years?"

Lie Xiaotian stopped and stabbed Dugu Ran with a dagger-like gaze. "Life is a play. I'm only doing this to conceal my true identity. Reaching this position has brought more benefits than disadvantages to me. Over the years, I've profited a lot, both openly and covertly. Otherwise, how could I have achieved such a rapid breakthrough?"

As he spoke, a smug look appeared on his face.

"However, the best way to improve your strength is to eat the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts."

Lie Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

Although the side effects were obvious, his temper became more and more irritable and cold, fortunately he had a wife at home who could hypnotize people and could restrain his rationality and temper. Even the witch Lingxi could not see the flaw.

"You are so inhuman, Lie Xiaotian!"

Dugu Ran couldn't help but curse, his eyes filled with disgust and anger. He never imagined that Lie Xiaotian, who seemed to be diligent and dedicated to the people, actually had such an ugly face behind him.

Lie Xiaotian didn't care about this at all. He just smiled coldly, "I only know that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. Without strength, it's like now. I am the knife and you are the fish."

His tone was full of arrogance and sarcasm, as if he was already at the top of the world and invincible.

Dugu Ran also sneered, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, "Master Wu Ji will not let you go. He will definitely uphold justice for Beast City and make you receive the punishment you deserve!"

When Lie Xiaotian heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a grim look.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, ripped the flesh of a nearby ferocious beast, strode up to Dugu Ran, and said viciously, "Him? He'll be in danger soon. Once I finish him off, this Beast City will be mine!"

His voice was almost insane, echoing in this small dungeon and making people shudder.

The stench of decay and blood permeated the light and shadow, and every breath of air seemed to be drenched in sin.

Lie Xiaotian had a strange smile on his face. That smile was like the phosphorescence flickering in the night sky, sinister and cunning. His eyes were fixed on Dugu Ran, as if he was admiring a piece of art that was about to be destroyed.

"Don't think I don't know anything. Ling Yunxiao is from your Dugu family, right?"

When Dugu Ran heard this, his face, which was already pale due to pain, instantly lost all color, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

"Hahahaha!"

Lie Xiaotian laughed wildly upon seeing this. The sound echoed through the cold dungeon, causing pain in the eardrums. "Back then, I witnessed with my own eyes how the beast ravaged your daughter. I never thought it would leave behind a bastard."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity that your Dugu family is full of loyal and brave people. They were once glorious and glorious, but now they are unknown and unknown. Why bother?"

"For the sake of so-called justice and loyalty, this is what happened."

As he spoke, he shook his head, and the sarcasm on his face became more and more intense.
