Versatile Mage: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 177 Nian Beast

Su Zhe and Ai Tutu were lying on Rhubarb's back, Rhubarb was galloping through the sky in agony, rushing from the Demon City to Bashu.

During the last Chinese New Year, the Nian beast appeared in Bashu. It is more likely that it is still resting in Bashu now. After all, according to Dahuang, the Nian beast is very lazy. Apart from taking advantage of the excitement during the New Year to come out and have fun, it usually Find a place to rest.

It was precisely because of its laziness that Rhubarb had the chance to eat its rice cake last time.

This time when he went to find the Nian Beast, Su Zhe directly stuffed a lot of rice cakes into his portable space. In the portable space, time almost stood still, and there was no need to worry about the rice cakes spoiling due to time issues.

Sparks and lightning flew all the way to Bashu, and Rhubarb kept flaring his nose, feeling the scent of the Nian beast in the air.

Rhubarb has many friends with totem beasts. It is because of his good nose that he can sense the similar aura of other totems as his own. He will always go over curiously to see what kind of totem beast the other person is.

I heard it said that when it first saw the Totem Black Snake, its strength was just a little monarch. If the Totem Black Snake hadn't been kinder and noticed the aura of the totem beast in it, it would have almost mistaken Rhubarb for Chuang. Where is the demon that came in?

Nian Beast, also known as "Nian," I heard from Dahuang. This is also the name of Nian Beast.

In the myths and legends of the Dragon Kingdom, the Nian beast is an evil beast that ran down from the heaven to cause chaos. It is guarded by Ziwei Xingjun and locked on a pillar in the heaven. Every New Year, it will take advantage of the chaos to come out and eat people.

However, these are all rumors. The real situation is that the Nian beast has existed since ancient times. During the most lively times of the year, people will come out to play pranks and enjoy the lively atmosphere with humans.

In addition to records about evil beasts, there are also legends that have been handed down from ancient times. The earliest meaning of "Nian" in Nian beast is not a man-eating beast, but a commendatory and auspicious word, a man-eating beast. Monsters are purely a fantasy invented by later generations.

Nian Beast circled Dahuang twice in surprise, "How come you have the aura of a supreme monarch? You are on the same level as me."

No wonder they are so familiar with Dahuang, both of them look very much like dogs.

Dahuang's eyes were a little shocked. He was born late and didn't know much about the ancient wars. However, he had seen a lot of totem beasts in his thousands of years of travel. Is such a large number only less than one in ten?

Nian Beast continued to speak, chewing rice cakes in his mouth, "Dragon Kingdom has always been a vast land and rich in resources. There were already many humans in ancient times. Our totem beasts are scattered in various human tribes to act as guardian gods and accept human sacrifices. Think about it You can also know how many totem beasts there are."

Just as Dahuang was dragging Su Zhe and the two around, in a mountain stream in the mountains, a snow-white poodle was walking leisurely. Occasionally, when he met ferocious demons at the level of warriors and commanders, his mouth would Suddenly it opened to a terrifying extent, then swallowed the other person in one gulp, and then slowly started walking again.

Su Zhe nodded, briefly talked about Jianmu's current situation, and then took out a large number of prepared rice cakes from his pocket.

Seeing that the two behemoths were about to fight, Su Zhe quickly stood up to stop them. Both of them were supreme monarchs. If they fought, it would even affect distant cities.

Hearing Dahuang's words, the Nian beast that had just been eating rice cakes stopped chewing, feeling a little inexplicable, "Resist the sea monster?"

There was some surprise in Nian Beast's tone, "During the ancient war, Jianmu's strength was extraordinary. If you give it some time, it could even be promoted to emperor. Unfortunately, its strength has regressed after being beaten. Is it okay now?"

Suddenly, feeling a disgusting smell in the distance, the white-haired poodle stopped in disgust, "Why is that dog here again? When it comes, nothing good will happen. I have to go back and take a closer look." My rice cake!”

In order to eat more rice cakes, Nian even thought about finding a rich man as a totem guardian and asking him to buy some for himself. However, after careful consideration for more than half a year, it gave up the idea. As a totem beast, it still wanted to There is a bottom line.

Looking at Su Zhe and the two men standing up from Dahuang's back, Nian Beast narrowed his eyes, "I have felt the aura on your body before, and you have become the guardian of Haechi. Why do you still have Jianmu's aura on you now? "

"Hey, don't start fighting, Nian Beast. I brought you your favorite rice cake."

Dahuang looked at the unruly Nian Beast with disdain and got to the point, "Would you like to join us in resisting the sea monster? Just lazily sleeping in the mountains won't do."

However, when he saw the pile of rice cakes in front of him that was taller than himself, Nian Beast couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't even have the mood to fight, so he simply shrunk down and started eating.

It likes to eat rice cakes very much. It likes all kinds of rice cakes with all kinds of flavors. However, due to its status as a totem beast, it has no way to go to the city to buy them. Moreover, it has no money. Although it likes to play pranks, it also likes to eat rice cakes. I don't want to steal the fruits of someone's labor out of thin air, not to mention its appetite. If I try to steal it, it will probably bankrupt a rice cake making factory.

In the past, I would take a little bit from house to house, accumulate a little, and then eat it slowly. The little rice cake was not enough for it to fit between its teeth.

Staring at a certain figure in the mountains that was filled with the aura of grain, Rhubarb quickly fell to its side.

The snow-white hair was blown by the wind and danced, looking mighty and domineering. The silver body and the rhubarb complemented each other, like two auspicious beasts that came to the world.

The poodle cut helplessly and transformed into its original shape in a burst of white light. Its height of tens to hundreds of meters was not much different from Dahuang's huge body. It was even slightly shorter, but its physique was wider and thicker.

Dahuang pretended to be disdainful and snorted, "A remnant of the old era like you is destined to be trampled under my feet. Do you still want to fight with me now? I'm not afraid of you anymore."

The white poodle stopped helplessly, "Hey, how can you find me here?"

The poodle nodded.

Su Zhe nodded unconsciously. In ancient times, the Dragon Kingdom already had a large population, and there must have been a lot of totem beasts. However, until the last part of the original work, only a few totems appeared.

There is no such thing as cannibalism. In this world, Nian's favorite food is rice cakes. It seems that it likes the feeling of sticking to its teeth.

Nian Beast shook his head, "You haven't experienced that war, so you don't know how tragic it was. Maybe you think you have seen a lot of totem beasts, but I can tell you clearly that not even ten totem beasts survived. one……"

"Hey, it seems you have forgotten the time when I beat the head-hugging rat and ran back to Shennongjia!" Nian Beast snorted a few times and immediately got into a posture.

Seeing the helpless look on the poodle's face, Dahuang chuckled, "Although you can't speak, I can still understand what you mean. Do you want to know how I found you?"

While eating, little stars appeared in his eyes, and he whimpered with a bulging mouth, "So happy, so happy! No wonder you, Haechi, ran to be the guardian of the totem. You are so happy. You can't finish eating. You can't finish it." Can’t finish it!”

This is why Dahuang got angry and fought with Dahuang when he stole the rice cakes he had saved for a long time.

Dahuang lay down, placed his huge head in front of the poodle, and exhaled suddenly, which made the poodle a little unsteady, "Of course it's the grainy smell of rice cakes in you. In this mountain full of monsters, Among them, the aura on your body is the most obvious."

It can be seen that most of the totems must have died. For example, in the original work, Yue Ehuang talks about the sacred deer that has passed away long ago...

Wuzhiqi, who was pressed underwater, is the best example. Although it also controlled humans in ancient times, it was obviously not a totem willing to fight for humans.

Dahuang squinted his eyes slightly and kept sniffing the smell in the air, "Hey! I found it!"

Rhubarb is not afraid at all. Just kidding, his totem guardian is in the mane on his back. With the blessing of the guardian, Rhubarb is not afraid of Nian Beast, who is the veteran supreme monarch.

The poodle took two quick steps and ran towards a cave in the mountains.

According to Dahuang, the Nian beast looks like a lion or a dog, with snow-white fur and pink-white footprints when its four paws fall on the ground. It is huge and has a single horn on its head.

A sacred deer is just one of the epitome of many totem beasts. There are many more totem beasts that have lost their last traces in the human world. After thousands of years of changing times, whether the living totem beasts are willing to help humans again? Or whether to choose to inherit the identity of the totem is still two questions.

Dahuang nodded, "You have fought against sea monsters in ancient times, so you must have a lot of experience. Do you want to join our current team again?"

Um... In other words, one is a poodle and the other is a pastoral dog.

Seeing all these rice cakes piled up into a small mountain, Nian Beast's eyes sparkled.

After experiencing the cruel ancient war, there is Jianmu who is willing to burn all his fire for mankind, and naturally there is Nian Beast who wants to escape from the world.

Su Zhe touched his chin. Nian Beast was a totem of the supreme monarch level. If he could win over the human camp, it would be a great help. He must find a way to win over Nian Beast.

"Nian Beast, I have several rice cake factories. If you..."

"Deal! Please let me fight for humanity again!" Su Zhe: Huh?

Dahuang: Huh?

Ai Tutu: Huh?

"No, you were so determined before. I thought you just wanted to live in seclusion and retire. Why did you give up the bottom line so quickly?!" Dahuang roared.

Nian Beast buried his face in the pile of rice cakes, and a humming voice came out, "I was just teasing you before, but I didn't expect there would be rice cakes to eat. Of course I am willing. That guy Jianmu died several times. You dare to defend the coastline for humans again, let alone Master Nian, who I fought from the beginning to the end!"

After Dahuang's translation, Su Zhe and Ai Tutu looked at the Nian beast with admiration. It is indeed a totem passed down from generation to generation of mankind. It is really righteous!

Dahuang pouted, "But I heard from Jianmu that every time we fight, you hide and attack those who are weaker than you. You have never fought against opponents of the same level."

The Nian beast paused while eating the rice cake, "Ahem, what do you know? I am strategically weakening the pressure of the lower class humans!!!"

Now that Nian Beast had agreed, Su Zhe immediately took out his phone and sent a message to the people in charge of Feiniao City, asking them to purchase or build several rice cake factories.

Yes, Su Zhe just lied to Nian Beast when he said that there was already a rice cake factory. But since he has promised Su Zhe to help the human camp, there are only a few factories, so there must be no problem.

If Shao Zheng knew that a few factories could produce a supreme monarch-level Nian beast, he would probably build several of them across the country so that the Nian beast could go wherever he wanted to eat when he was playing pranks.

Speaking of the pranks played by the Nian Beast, it was also very measured. At most, it was just to scare ordinary people and mages. However, as there were many rumors, it became known as a man-eating monster.

After confirming that Nian Beast had joined the human camp, Su Zhe immediately called Shao Zheng.

"Hey, Xiao Zheng."

"No big or small, tell me, what's the matter?" Shao Zheng cursed with a smile, and his mood changed from a long-term depression to a lighter mood. Since Su Zhe said this, there must be good news.

"Three messages, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news."

"Found a totem beast."

Shao Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise. Recently, Mo Fan found one, but Su Zhe unexpectedly found another one. Good things come in pairs! It was indeed right to leave the task of finding the totem to them!

"What about the bad news?"

"The other two are Better News and Best News."

Shao Zheng laughed, "Okay, okay, tell me everything."

The recent pressure in the Holy City has made Shao Zheng's hair a lot grayer, and there are also public opinion issues with the Parthenon. Many people who were helped by the Parthenon still choose to believe in the Parthenon.

Recently, Shennong Temple has been initially established, with Xinxia leading a group of healing mages around the world to control the direction of public opinion.

Of course, in order to protect Xinxia's safety, the old priest Song Qiming also wanted to make up for some of the regrets and guilt in his heart, and volunteered to be a bodyguard for a period of time, and then come back after the public opinion storm had passed.

"The better news is that it is willing to join the human camp and help us fight against the Kraken."

Shao Zheng nodded, "Yes, with the addition of a totem beast, it can at least compete with a dozen super mages."

Su Zhe then spoke, "The best news is that this totem beast is still at the level of the Supreme Monarch. It has experienced the sea monster wars in ancient times and has experience in dealing with the sea monsters."

Shao Zheng stood up in surprise, "This is good news. If a totem beast can tell us the strength of the Kraken, we can make better preparations."

Emperor-level creatures can often live for more than ten thousand years. The emperors who did not fall in the last sea monster war will probably appear again. If the creatures who participated in that war tell them the abilities and conditions of these emperors, their Dragon Kingdom can also Some preparation.

Hearing Su Zhe's words, Nian Beast scratched his head with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, he had also heard the big guys popularize the situation of these emperors in ancient times, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to tell.

As if he remembered something, Su Zhe said again: "By the way, Speaker, the totem beast I'm looking for is called Nian Beast. It prefers to eat rice cakes. Do you think you can build some rice cake factories for it or reimburse me for it? I'm already preparing this thing, so that it can eat as much as it can, and the condition for it to join is that it can eat rice cakes freely."

Shao Zheng slapped his thigh, "It's just such a condition. It's easy to talk about. I'll say hello to the official rice cake factories across the country. You can take the rice cakes inside at any time when you arrive. The priority is higher than all situations, unless there is famine or disaster." , you need rice cakes and other things to help the victims, otherwise nothing can stop you!"

……

Su Zhe hung up the phone, and Nian Beast on the side looked at Su Zhe with admiration, "You're so handsome, brother, can I eat rice cakes casually from now on?"

Su Zhe laughed dumbly, he was really a totem beast that had no pursuit, "Don't worry, just eat whatever you want, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it!"

……

……

……

In a dark corner of the land of Yanzhao, Salang played with the skull pendant in his hand, "How did you do what you were told?"

The deacon in blue who was kneeling on the ground nodded tremblingly, "Don't worry, sir, our people are already working to influence the demons in the entire Yanzhao land. In less than a year, this province will be swayed by demons." In the midst of cholera!”

Salang nodded with satisfaction, "Go down."

The deacon in blue quickly walked out of the room as if he had been granted amnesty.

A smile appeared on Salang's lips, and his charming appearance looked sinister. "Su Zhe, the masters of the Dragon Kingdom are all restrained by the Holy City. Let me see how you should deal with this cholera!"

Salang stood up and looked at the dark clouds in the sky in the distance. There was a bit of boredom in his eyes, "Although it is a move that can be used all over the world, it is still a bit boring to use this move all the time. Do you want to use the new move here as well?" … Just in time to give it a try.”

Among the huge dark clouds, endless thunder and lightning storms are slowly gathering.

Under the dark clouds, it was the Yishan Mountains of Yanzhao!

If something goes wrong in Yishan, it will not only be the Yishan Fortress at the foot of the mountain that is in trouble, but also the nearby cities and provincial capitals will be affected!

In Yishan, a small Thunderstorm Dragon was swimming among the dark clouds, its big eyes full of curiosity.

Suddenly, all the surrounding dark clouds were broken, and a huge dragon poked its head out.

Following a few roars from the adult Thunderstorm Dragon, the little Thunderstorm Dragon reluctantly returned to its mother's back, and returned to its home in the mountains and lakes with it.

This lake is so vast that even though there are three members of the Yishan Overlord's family living in the lake, it still looks very spacious.

Father Long held up a big pearl at home with his claws and looked at it carefully. When his wife arrived home, he casually arranged a water barrier on the lake.

"Ho~ (There is something unusual in this rain. Please go out less recently, some things have become unusual)"

Little Thunder Rain Youlong swung his body in the lake without caring. Ever since he was born in Yishan a few years ago, no demons dared to mess with him. What does a mere shower mean?
