Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Flying Monkey Xingshi

The sky was a dreary gray. Even during the day, there was no sun, no blue sky, and no white clouds.

The Black Dragon lay on the ground, shrunken to a mere three inches long.

Its scales were covered in burns, scratches, and bite marks.

Long Hao taunted in a hoarse voice, “It took five of you to deal with one heavily injured Beastman. Pathetic.

And after all this time, the five of you still couldn’t kill me. You’re the worst of the worst!”

Jiang Qin, who had rushed over without a moment’s rest, was travel-worn and weary. Before she could even get close to the city, she heard the sounds of a fight nearby.

So, after making sure Bai Ruo was safely hidden, she quickly rode her Alien Beast mount over to investigate.

But before she even got close, she heard Long Hao’s incredibly arrogant remark.

’Seriously? Wasn’t he afraid of firing up his opponents and having them kill him in one fell swoop?’

Jiang Qin could only think that this was so typically Long Hao—even now, he refused to lose a war of words.

Sure enough, the five Beastmen, who were also injured, were enraged.

“You just got lucky being born into the Imperial Royal Family! Without those Genes of yours, you’re nothing!”

“Heh, so what if you’re a Dragon Gene Beastman? You’re still going to die out here in this nameless wilderness, at the hands of criminals wanted by the Empire.”

“I’ve long been sick to death of you damn nobles from the Empire.

Sitting high and mighty in your palaces every day, drinking the blood and gnawing on the flesh of us bottom-tier Beastmen, and you still discriminate against us!”

“Yeah, that’s right! Why is it that you get to pick and choose your females, while we can’t even get a High-level female to soothe us, even if we show up at their door with a fortune?”

“Brothers, let’s stop wasting our breath on him. Chop off his head, and let’s go collect our bounty.”

Long Hao didn’t panic. He had provoked them deliberately, all to stall for time.

Even though he was practically crippled, he could still escape.

The only problem was that the enemy had Flying System Genetic Beastmen. He needed to take them by surprise and disable the two fliers before he could escape safely.

As for whether it would look pathetic to flee in disgrace? ’Hilarious.’ His life was already being cut short against his will; he didn’t actually want to die.

Besides, his life was still useful.

He had already found out that Jiang Qin was, in fact, on Chaotic Star, so he still had to find her.

As for contacting Yun Xie and the others, he couldn’t do it right now.

The entire planet’s network was controlled, and signal coverage didn’t extend across the whole planet. Only a few cities had signal base stations installed.

His current Riot Value was too low to let him shift back to his human form, so he couldn’t use his Mecha either.

He could only rely on this three-inch-long body to escape first and figure out the rest later.

Just as Long Hao fixed his gaze on the neck of an enemy flying Beastman, a ferocious beast suddenly leaped out from the side. It bit directly into one of the Beastmen’s necks, gave a few violent shakes, and then hurled him several meters away.

“Number Three!!”

The Beastman who had been thrown twitched a few times, then fell silent.

With bloodshot eyes, the four remaining Beastmen stared at the Beastman who had suddenly appeared.

He had wings sprouting from his back and a monkey-like appearance.

“Wh-what kind of Beastman is that?”

“Who are you? Why did you kill our brother? If this is just for the bounty, we can negotiate. Was it necessary to be so ruthless?”

The Flying Monkey, without Jiang Qin’s control, naturally could not speak.

So it paid no mind to the shouting Beastman, instead targeting the two who were flying in the sky.

Jiang Qin had materialized the Flying Monkey precisely because it could fly and its combat prowess was formidable.

The Flying Monkey, loathing evil as it did, sensed a suffocating, foul aura coming from its enemies and wanted nothing more than to tear them to shreds.

Upon receiving its master’s command, it immediately flew into the air and charged toward one of the Beastmen.

Its charge was so ferocious that the flying Beastman tried, and failed, to block it. His chest was torn open on the spot.

“Number Four!!!”

The Land Tiger Beastman on the ground stared hatefully at the Flying Monkey, his eyes bloodshot.

“Who the hell are you? Why won’t you speak?”

In a single clash, he had lost two of his brothers. How could he not be consumed by hatred!

But his opponent refused to communicate, leaving no room for negotiation. The only choice was to fight.

However, the Flying Monkey was now in mid-air, attacking the other flying Beastman. As Land Beastmen, they could only watch, completely helpless.

After all, they weren’t rich enough for each of them to have their own Mecha.

CRASH—

Soon, the flying Beastman was struck down from the sky by the Flying Monkey.

Now, only two Land Beastmen were left.

Although one was S-level and the other A-level, they were already injured from their fight with Long Hao. Seeing how ferocious the Flying Monkey was, they began to hesitate.

The Tiger Beastman said grudgingly, “Brother, let us go. The head of this Black Dragon is yours.”

“Heh, is my head yours to give away?”

Long Hao, still on the ground, had recovered a sliver of his strength. He suddenly shot into the air, looking down on the Tiger Beastman from above.

Seeing this, the Tiger Beastman had an idea: let the two of them fight it out so he could be the one to benefit.

He immediately said to the Flying Monkey, “Brother, this Black Dragon is extremely cunning. You probably can’t take him down by yourself.

How about we team up and take him down first?

Don’t worry, my brother and I don’t want the reward. We’re just doing this to vent our frustration.”

Long Hao spoke again, “Hilarious. At most, I only injured you. That monkey killed three of your men, yet you call him ’brother’ over and over.

Your desire for payback is as blind as you are.”

The already-grudging Tiger Beastman became even more livid upon hearing this.

However, he didn’t dare to retort. If the Flying Monkey and the Black Dragon teamed up, he and his remaining brother would truly have no hope of leaving this place.

Jiang Qin didn’t give them much time for idle chatter, directly commanding the Flying Monkey to deal with the Tiger Beastman.

Seeing this, Long Hao gave up on the idea of escaping and instead attacked the last man.

He had been able to fight one-against-five while severely injured and still wound his opponents; it was a testament to just how powerful the Dragon Beast Genes were.

Although it was a struggle, he ultimately managed to bite and tear the A-level Beastman to death.

But after killing the Beastman, he collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, his body shrinking to a mere inch long.

Seeing the Flying Monkey approach after finishing off the Tiger Beastman, he said calmly, “If you want the bounty, I can give it to you.

You must know this, right? I’m from the Imperial Royal Family. I have plenty of money. Even if you want a Mecha, I can get one for you.

With your kind of power, why be a dog for those doctors over a few million Star Coins?”

However, the Flying Monkey merely stopped in front of him, neither responding nor attacking.

This was because Jiang Qin was running toward them, so she was no longer controlling the Flying Monkey, which had entered a standby mode.

“Long Hao!!”

Long Hao felt as if he were having an auditory hallucination, the kind one experiences before death. He thought he heard Jiang Qin’s voice.

It was as pleasant as ever—clear and sweet. Even laced with anxiety, it was enough to make his ears tingle.
