Monarch Of Time

Chapter 77 - 77 Heaven swallowing vine

As Shun Long reached the end of the cave, the scene in front of his eyes had left him tongue-tied.

A huge bird almost 10meters(33ft) tall had wrapped itself around a giant vine, that was no smaller than the bird itself. The birdʼs wings were a shiny silver color while its wingspan was more than 30m(100ft) long.

Shun Long who looked at the bird felt like an explosion had just set off inside his head.

Little Black was shocked as well, as he said in disbelief

ʼʼMaster that green vine must be the treasure of this Demonic Mountain region. Also.. what is a roc doing in a place like this? How can a roc be at just the peak of rank 4? Rocs are very similar to us dragons, so its strength should have at least been at the peak of rank 7 as it was born.ʼʼ

Shun Long didnʼt even answer little Blackʼs question as his eyes were glued at the huge vine at the heart of the mountain.

The silver winged roc had tried to completely encapsulate the green vine by wrapping its wings around it, looking almost like it was trying to absorb it inside its own body.

The green light that the vine emitted held a kind of fatal allure to magic beasts.

Even Shun Longʼs heartbeat had started speeding up at the thought of obtaining this treasure.

After taking a few breaths to calm himself down Shun Long answered little Blackʼs question

ʼʼThis isnʼt a pure roc, thatʼs why it is only at the peak of rank 4. Its bloodline seems to belong to the silver winged rocs but it is extremely impure. I guess that one of its ancestors was a pure-blooded silver winged roc but as time passed, the ʼpure bloodʼ of the silver winged roc became thinner and thinner with every passing generation.ʼʼ

Taking another deep breath Shun Long continued

Little Blackʼs attention was also on the green vine, as he had too felt the attraction that the vine was emitting he curiously asked

ʼʼMaster, do you know what this vine is? I donʼt seem to recall ever seeing a plant like this.ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head as he said

ʼʼIf Iʼm not wrong.. this is a ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ.ʼʼ

ʼʼImpossible! How could such a treasure exist here?ʼʼ Little Black asked but his voice seemed to be slightly trembling

To Shun Long, little Blackʼs reaction wasnʼt exaggerated at all. Instead, he nodded his head as he answered

ʼʼI donʼt know how but itʼs definitely real. Originally, I didnʼt even think that a ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ could exist in this place, but now I understand why the qi in this Demonic Mountain Region is so pure compared to the ʼfloating cloud cityʼsʼ. The ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ is absorbing the qi from its surroundings as it turns it into purer qi.ʼʼ

Seeing the silver winged roc wrapping itself around the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ little Black felt fury as well as envy in his heart. How could an impure small rank 4 roc try to eat a heavenly treasure like the ʼHeaven swallowing vineʼ.

Even little Black in the past, hadnʼt seen such a treasure as this vine, if you excluded the ʼStone of Timeʼ of course.

As Shun Long was staring at the vine with greed evident in his eyes, the rocʼs eyes suddenly snapped open.

Its bright red eyes were staring at Shun Long with extreme hostility as it let out a screech before it slowly unwrapped its wings from the vine.

ʼʼMaster, itʼs going to attack!ʼʼ As soon as little Black finished speaking, he instantly appeared in front of Shun Long. Now that the roc had noticed them, he knew that they couldnʼt avoid a fight.

Shun Long was standing behind little Black as he asked him through their mental connection

ʼʼLittle Black, can you pin it down just for 3 breaths of time?ʼʼ

Little Black didnʼt know what plan Shun Long had, but he agreed without hesitation as he said

ʼʼLeave it to me master!ʼʼ

The roc flapped its wings once, as it instantly appeared in front of little Black and Shun Long who were still situated at the end of the cave.

Little Black flapped his wings as he took the roc head-on.

The silver winged roc didnʼt let up as it attacked the black dragon continuously using its talons to tear off the dragonʼs flesh from his body.

Little Blackʼs body had turned bloodied as wounds appeared all over it, while even his scales were injured as they werenʼt enough to defend against the rocʼs onslaught.

However, the dragon didnʼt even let out a single sound as he kept enduring the rocʼs violent attack.

This was the pride of the king of magic beasts, who even in the face of death would never bow down.

Shun Long who had just retrieved a silver-white page from his spiritual space looked at this scene and his eyes had instantly turned red.

Little Black and Shun Long were sharing a spiritual bond and thatʼs why he knew what the dragon was thinking in his mind as the roc was destroying his body.

ʼʼBuy time for master, I need to buy more time for masterʼʼ

Shun Long raised his left hand as he slashed the space in front of him, creating a space tear big enough for him to walk inside.

After Shun Long stepped inside, he had directly appeared above the rocʼs neck that was still attacking the black dragon relentlessly.
