chapter 5283 hostage
all of a sudden, a horde of golden lions appeared around long chen, completely surrounding him.
“did i end up running into a lion’s den?” long chen was taken aback. there were over ten enormous golden lions, all at least as powerful as the six-vein emperor he’d just encountered.
long chen’s heart sank. if it were just one six-vein emperor, he’d be tempted to test himself against it. after all, he could always escape if he couldn't win. but now, faced with an entire pride of them, things looked grim. fortunately, with the little lion in his grasp, they hesitated to make any rash moves.
long chen found himself in a predicament. the golden lions were roaring at him furiously, but it seemed that they couldn’t speak his language.
“if you don’t want this little fellow to die, get out of the way! otherwise, i won’t hesitate to fight all of you to the death!” long chen declared.
“a fight to the death? you overrate yourself, little human!”
suddenly, a voice filled with an ancient aura rang out. another golden lion approached.
this lion’s aura was even more intimidating than the others, though its fur had lost much of its luster. it was clear that its blood qi had declined with age. this was a very old lion, likely nearing the end of its lifespan.
when the old lion approached, the others immediately opened a path for it, revealing its high status.
now that he had someone who could speak his language, long chen felt more at ease. communication meant there was room for negotiation.
long chen asked, “do you think i overestimate myself? should i kill this fellow first to show you how serious i am?”
long chen channeled his astral energy into the little lion, making it grimace in pain. it roared weakly.
“courting death!”
long chen ignored these lions. in the worst case, he would simply flee. though the earth cauldron hadn’t fully recovered, it should still be capable of transporting him away. so, if they wanted to fight, he’d accompany them.
“what do you want?!” roared the old lion.
“if you don’t want it to die, then scram. otherwise, i’ll kill it right now!” threatened long chen.
“absolutely not!”
long chen’s astral energy surged, causing the little lion to cough up more blood. it weakly tried to cry for help, but it didn’t have the strength to even let out a sound.
“since you want it to die, there’s no need to waste any more time. i’ll fulfill your desire,” said long chen.
stars appeared on long chen’s hand, and the lion started to swell, its body on the verge of bursting under the pressure of his astral energy.
“stop, stop! please, we accept your conditions!” roared the old lion.
“tch, how gutless! get the hell out of my way. if anyone blocks me, i’ll kill this little lion,” sneered long chen.
at the old lion’s command, the other lions begrudgingly opened a path. though they made way, their murderous gazes showed how much they hated long chen. given the chance, they would tear him into a thousand pieces.
long chen ignored them. he tossed the little lion onto the ground and hopped onto its back. “if you want to live, take me to the human race. if you’d rather die, say the word.”
the little lion gritted its teeth but dared not resist. it was terrified of long chen, who seemed like a demon to it. though humiliated, it lowered its head and carried long chen away.
watching as long chen left, the gold lion race’s experts raised their heads and roared as if announcing something.
