There is a beast in the bright morning.

Although Tianlu had some of his divine power sealed for some reason, which prevented him from growing larger at will, he still possessed divine power.

However, as a divine beast, and one with great combat power at that, Tianlu still presented an unparalleled posture on the battlefield.

After smashing several palm-sized scorpions with a single swipe of its claw, Tianlu disgustedly flicked off the green, viscous liquid from its claw.

Tianlu had originally wanted to try the taste of the scorpion, but now he had completely lost interest: "Ugh, how disgusting! Just looking at it makes me lose my appetite. Forget it, I'd better not eat it."

Seeing that the little scorpion was no match for Tianlu, two scorpions of similar size to Tianlu immediately crawled out from the scorpion swarm, brandishing their pincers and charging towards Tianlu.

"Hmph, you think being bigger is useful? Watch this!"

Tianlu dodged the scorpion's stinger with a leap, and then swung his claw at the scorpion in mid-air.

The once furry claws now emitted a white light, unleashing attacks like sword energy that landed on the scorpion's back.

The scorpion's seemingly hard carapace was as fragile as a potato chip under Tianlu's claws, and was torn to shreds in an instant.

At the same time, another scorpion saw that Tianlu was in the air and unable to move, so it immediately used its special pincers to grab Tianlu, who was falling freely in the air.

Unexpectedly, Tianlu suddenly spread out his limbs in the air, and something like a wing membrane suddenly appeared on both sides of his abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, Tianlu's falling speed suddenly slowed down, and then incredibly, it changed direction in mid-air with its tail, narrowly gliding past the scorpion's pincers and landing safely on the ground.

"Hmph, didn't expect that, did you? I can fly."

Seeing that he was no match for Tianlu, Scorpion knew that if the fight continued, he would likely suffer the same fate as his companions, being torn to pieces by Tianlu.

So the scorpion rhythmically clattered its pincers, producing a series of metallic sounds of varying lengths.

Tianlu didn't understand what the scorpion was trying to do, so he didn't stop it in time.

But then countless small scorpions crawled over from all directions, came to the side of the scorpion fighting Tianlu, and climbed up his claws onto his back.

Soon, the scorpion's back was covered with countless tiny scorpions. What surprised Tianlu even more was that those tiny scorpions were wriggling like a viscous liquid.

In the end, all the scorpions merged into one enormous scorpion, leaving Tianlu dumbfounded.

"Cheating! I'm reporting them for cheating!" Tianlu was furious and ran away.

There was no other way but to run. The opponent was not only over ten meters long, but also quite fast, and arrived in front of Tianlu in just a few steps.

Needless to say, its strength was immense. With a single slam of the pincers, a crater instantly appeared in the ground. If Tianlu hadn't reacted in time, he would probably have been smashed into a pulp.

As for defense, it was maxed out. Tianlu looked at his claw strikes, which could easily shatter rocks, but now only left a few white marks on the giant scorpion. He realized that he could no longer hurt the scorpion.

Naturally, Tianlu was immediately put at a disadvantage in the battle. He was in a sorry state under the pursuit of the giant scorpion and had to keep running away while constantly looking back to check the position of the giant scorpion behind him.

"Damn it, you think you can take advantage of me because I can't grow bigger? You just wait."

During this time, Tianlu also tried to circulate the divine power within his body in an attempt to restore his body to its original size. However, whenever the divine power was gathered, it would inexplicably dissipate, preventing Tianlu from growing larger.

Before Tianlu could say anything more, the battlefield changed again. Another giant scorpion of similar size joined the battle, forming an encirclement around Tianlu.

Seeing that there were people blocking his way in front of him and pursuers behind him, Tianlu panicked and shouted, "I was wrong! Don't chase me! Help!"

"Tianlu, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Watch this, the Mount Tai meteorite falls!"

A streak of black and gold light flashed across the void, and Hao Chen, stepping on the Yin-Yang Qi, instantly appeared on the battlefield, landing heavily on the head of a giant scorpion.

"boom!"

Hao Chen crashed down on the giant scorpion's head like a mountain falling, producing a loud bang and raising dust.

Instantly, the giant scorpion's indestructible armor shattered with a cracking sound, and green liquid flowed out from the crack on its head. The giant scorpion also fell into a coma after being hit.

Immediately afterwards, Hao Chen appeared in front of Tian Lu as if by teleportation, and without saying a word, he pulled Tian Lu's body over and began to check him over: "Tian Lu, don't move, let me see if you are injured."

"I'm fine, Haochen, really."

Tianlu was speechless, but he still obediently let Haochen examine his body.

After checking, Hao Chen confirmed that Tian Lu was only a little dirty and not injured, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Tian Lu, go and rest for now, leave the rest to me."

"Okay, Haochen, be careful, this guy is not easy to deal with."

Tianlu understood that in his current state, staying would only be a hindrance. Despite his resentment, he could only glare fiercely at the giant scorpion before retreating off the battlefield.

When the giant scorpion saw that Tianlu wanted to leave, it tried to stop him. Because Haochen's aura was perfectly uniform, in the giant scorpion's eyes, Haochen was just an ordinary divine beast.

But Tianlu was different. Under the giant scorpion's perception, Tianlu's life essence was much stronger than the divine beasts and monsters they had captured. In the scorpion's eyes, Tianlu was as bright and conspicuous as a great sun.

Just as the giant scorpion moved, Hao Chen instantly appeared in front of him: "Ugly guy, your opponent is me."

"Squeak~"

The giant scorpion let out a sharp, piercing warning cry, but seeing that Hao Chen remained unmoved and stood in front of him, the scorpion, which had little intelligence, suddenly went berserk, swinging its pair of huge pincers down at Hao Chen.

However, Hao Chen completely disregarded this attack. As if playing a game, Hao Chen simply raised one claw and effortlessly caught the giant scorpion's pincers.

"What, is that all the strength you have?"

As Hao Chen spoke, he exerted force with the claw that was blocking the scorpion's pincers, and the giant scorpion couldn't withstand it and staggered back a few steps.

Seeing this from afar, Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief: "Haochen is amazing! I can't hold him back either. There must be something I can do."

After observing for a while, Tianlu was somewhat disappointed. There were no small scorpions to be seen here anymore; it seemed that all the scorpions had merged into the two large scorpions.

Now, one of them has been severely injured by Hao Chen, while the other is being toyed with by him.

Just when Tianlu thought he was out of the picture, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his tail. Looking down, he saw a small silver mouse. (Silver Horn: You're the mouse! I'm Totoro, Totoro!)

"Um, my name is Silver Horn. Did you ask Fourth Boss to come and rescue us?"

Tianlu looked at the somewhat timid Silver Horn in front of him, and reached out a paw to rub his head: "So you are Silver Horn. My name is Tianlu, you can also call me Pipi. The Four-Unlikes sent us to rescue you. Speaking of which, isn't there another one? I haven't seen him."

"My brother is over there. Could you help us open those cages?"

Silver Horn pointed to Golden Horn, who was struggling to open the cage not far away, and then asked Tianlu for help to rescue the captured divine beasts and monsters.

Looking at the weakened divine beasts and spirits in the cage, who were exhausted from having their life essence drained, Tianlu suddenly thought that if he rescued them, the Qilin would definitely praise him for being capable, and perhaps the Qilin would even cook him something delicious.

"No problem, but Silver Horn, there are so many people here, how are we going to get them back?"

Looking at Silver Horn's size, Tianlu didn't think it was a beast capable of carrying these divine beasts and monsters out. Could it be that he and Haochen would have to carry them out one by one? How long would that take?

Just as Tianlu was still worrying about how to get them back, Yinjiao said, "Don't worry, my brother and I have a treasure that can fit everyone inside, so it will be easy to take them out later."

"Treasure?! What kind of treasure is it? Can I see it?" Upon hearing that there was a treasure, Tianlu's eyes lit up, and the entire beast became excited.

Silver Horn didn't notice Tianlu's change and pointed at Golden Horn, explaining, "The treasure is with Brother. Pipi, come and lend a hand, otherwise if that guy comes back, none of us will be able to escape."

"That guy? Who is he?" Tianlu asked, puzzled. Judging from Yinjiao's expression, it seemed that there was still a terrifying enemy waiting to appear.

However, since Yin Jiao did not answer Tian Lu's question, Tian Lu did not know either, but still followed Yin Jiao to rescue the people.

"Brother, I'm back, and I've brought a helper with me."

Hearing his younger brother's beastly words, Golden Horn looked up at Tianlu, somewhat disappointed. Why wasn't it the same divine beast from before?

"Little brother, why did you bring a dog with you?"

"Dog!!" Tianlu roared as if he had been pricked by a needle when he heard Jinjiao's taunts. "I am not a dog, I am a Pixiu, a Pixiu!"

Silver Horn realized his brother had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, please don't be angry. Let's save people first, okay?"

But at that moment, the world trembled again, and Tianlu, Jinjiao, and Yinjiao all felt a sense of oppression.

"Oh no, that guy is back! We're doomed!" Golden Horn and Silver Horn seemed to remember something and hugged each other in fear.

At this moment, Tianlu also felt a sense of alarm: "Damn it, what is this thing? It feels so terrifying."

Hao Chen then dealt with the remaining giant scorpion and came to Tian Lu's side.

"Haochen, what brings you here? Do you know what's going on?"

Hao Chen shook his head, then looked around warily: "Tian Lu, be careful, I have a feeling something big is coming."

Da da da……

At that moment, footsteps sounded, followed by a seven-colored mist that appeared out of thin air, and a figure seemed to emerge from the mist.
