Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Prehistoric Overlord (23)

In just a moment, Yao Rao’s furious and resentful face started to show an expression of pain.

The beast pressing on her hesitated and released her.

Yao Rao curled up on the ground, her face flushed red, her nails clawing at her throat, and blood marks appeared on her neck instantly.

”Ah—”

Chuzheng fearfully retreated backward.

”Ah ah...”

Yao Rao emitted monosyllabic screams from her throat.

The blood marks on her neck deepened, becoming a bloody mess.

She hated it!

Why!

It shouldn’t be like this...

She should be kneeling before me now, begging me to spare her, not like this.

This is wrong.

This is wrong!!

”King! It’s not good!”

A beast ran in from outside.

”King, a Teng Snake has broken in.”

The King of Desperate Ridge had a puzzled expression: ”Teng Snake? Weren’t they all wiped out?”

”Yes, yes, but... the one outside is a Teng Snake...” the messenger beast stammered, unable to speak clearly.

The King of Desperate Ridge’s heart pounded wildly.

What’s this about.

What is the Teng Snake Clan here for!!

”Go and see.”

The King of Desperate Ridge, accompanied by his underlings, prepared to check it out, only to find several beasts rolling to a stop at his feet.

Above the jungle, a figure flitted over and landed on the ground.

Almost simultaneously with the person’s landing, Tu Yan rushed in from outside.

The two sides met unexpectedly.

”Tu Yan!” the old man shouted harshly.

Tu Yan glanced at him and rushed straight toward Chuzheng: ”Little Phoenix, are you alright?”

Just now, Chuzheng asked him to stay outside, but the longer he waited, the more worried he got. Hearing the sounds of a fight, he rushed over, and seeing Chuzheng safe, the stone in his heart settled.

The King of Desperate Ridge recognized the old man: ”Teng Snake Clan Leader, what brings you here?”

The Teng Snake Clan Leader hadn’t long been changed when the Teng Snake Clan was exterminated, so the outside world was unaware.

”I didn’t come for you.”

The old man’s sharp gaze fixed on Tu Yan, wishing to tear him apart, skin him, and draw his tendons to relieve his heart’s hatred.

”This is Desperate Ridge.” The King of Desperate Ridge felt offended that his territory was intruded upon and was equally displeased.

The old man calmed down a little.

There were many Fierce Beasts in Desperate Ridge, and what was present was merely the tip of the iceberg; many hadn’t shown up at all.

If it really erupted into a fight, it wouldn’t benefit him either.

He was there to seek vengeance on Tu Yan, not to provoke other Fierce Beasts in Desperate Ridge.

”My Teng Snake Clan was exterminated, the culprit is here, I only want him.”

The Teng Snake Clan’s killer—Tu Yan.

All beasts’ gazes fell on Tu Yan.

Perhaps because Chuzheng was present, for once, Tu Yan explained: ”The extermination of the Teng Snake Clan has nothing to do with me.”

”If not you, then who?” He saw it with his own eyes, could it be wrong! ”You not only killed my whole clan but also seized our Holy Artifact!”

The Holy Artifact is right there.

He sensed the Holy Artifact and thus pursued it here.

”It wasn’t me.” Tu Yan’s face was somber.

He didn’t kill the Teng Snake Clan, nor did he take the Holy Artifact.

When he arrived, the Holy Artifact was already gone.

The old man simply didn’t believe it: ”If not you, then who? At that time, you were the only one there, who else could it have been?”

Tu Yan: ”...”

There really was no way to explain this.

-

”Ah—”

As both sides were in a stalemate, the forgotten Yao Rao suddenly let out a shrill scream.

This scream drew everyone’s attention, even the old man was attracted.

Yao Rao had previously helped a usurper clan leader, and was so distinctive, the old man naturally recognized her.

However, the old man’s gaze only lingered on her briefly before it fell on the bone vial on the ground.

The old man raised his hand, and the bone vial flew into his grasp.

”This is something of our clan...” The old man looked at Tu Yan as if to say, you still won’t admit it was you.

Chuzheng pointed sharply at Yao Rao: ”It’s hers.”

The old man’s eyes had previously only been on Tu Yan, it seemed only now did he notice Chuzheng, and he frowned slightly.

Chuzheng was a Divine Beast, a Phoenix, yet stood together with Tu Yan.

The King of Desperate Ridge saw this and agreed: ”Yes, this thing is hers.”

The old man: ”...”

The King of Desperate Ridge glanced at Chuzheng and took the initiative to explain.

The object was given to him by Yao Rao.

The original intention was to use it on Chuzheng.

However, the method Yao Rao mentioned wasn’t as direct and crude as Chuzheng’s, which was to simply force-feed it.

Now it turns out Chuzheng made Yao Rao use it on herself.

The old man was somewhat calmer than before.

”Is this thing truly something she took out?”

The King of Desperate Ridge snorted coldly: ”Why would I lie to you.”

-

Tu Yan never denied anything he did in the Prehistoric Era.

This time he suddenly denied...

The old man thought carefully, and indeed it was strange, at the time Tu Yan didn’t even have the scent of blood.

Seeing Tu Yan at the crime scene, associating with his deeds in the Prehistoric Era, it was natural to pin him as the culprit.

The old man demanded to see Yao Rao.

Chuzheng didn’t mind and stepped aside for him.

The old man flew forward.

”Save me... save me... ah...” Yao Rao was still clawing herself, but now she had begun clawing her face, one blood mark after another.

The old man looked down at her: ”Did you take out this thing?”

Bloodied hands, Yao Rao clutched the old man’s leg: ”It was me, I took it, save me, antidote, give me the antidote.”

Yao Rao’s consciousness was very clear.

She didn’t want to scratch, but she couldn’t help it, she couldn’t control herself.

If this continued, she would end up disfigured.

The old man’s heart trembled slightly, and his body couldn’t help but shiver: ”Did you also kill my Teng Snake Clan?”

”No, no...” Yao Rao denied: ”Save me, give me the antidote.”

”You didn’t kill them?” The old man was unmoved.

Yao Rao felt she was going to die.

Inside her body, it was as if there were countless insects biting.

”It wasn’t me.” Yao Rao held on for a moment, but eventually couldn’t endure, shaking her head painfully: ”Really, it wasn’t me, I don’t know, I just... I just wanted to take the Holy Artifact, but when I came to my senses, they were already dead.”

Yao Rao completely didn’t remember what she did after obtaining the Holy Artifact.

When she awoke, all she saw were the corpses on the ground.

”See, I told you it wasn’t me... Tu Yan did it.” Chuzheng leisurely interjected.

The old man: ”...” Was it his fault? At that moment, seeing Tu Yan there coincidentally, he had already lost his mind with rage.

Tu Yan’s attention was caught by Chuzheng’s words.

The phrase ’I Tu Yan’ flowed into his heart like a clear stream.

The old man’s fury rekindled: ”Where is the Holy Artifact!”

Yao Rao was in too much pain to respond to the old man.

The old man firmly pressed her down: ”Where is the Holy Artifact?”

Yao Rao might have been unable to bear it, struggling painfully to search herself.

Klang——

A bone, one palm-length, fell down.

The white bone, cylindrical, with holes, somewhat resembled a flute.

The old man snapped up the Holy Artifact, inspecting it carefully.

”Save me...”

Yao Rao clutched the old man, pleading for rescue.

She truly felt she was about to die.

The pain was suffocating.

”You won’t die,” the old man said fiercely.

”Antidote, give me the antidote...”

The old man kicked Yao Rao away.

The members of his clan were all killed by this woman, how could he save her!
