BXBX NOVEL Chapter 148: Angry Audrey
These savages, completely oblivious to the might of the outside world, fought daily for the slightest morsel of food.They exhibited no semblance of etiquette, resembling mindless beasts utterly incapable of communication.
The moniker of "barbarians" suited them perfectly.
However, they remained oblivious to the fact that Enzo had already condemned them to death in his mind.
Enzo felt little affinity for the barren mountain region.
And his sense of belonging to the world at large was equally meager.
The remarks made by Colin and Veena were not merely aimed at him, but at all the inhabitants of the barren mountain region, including the Crimson Star Tribe, which irked Enzo greatly.
Furthermore, their prior insults only fueled his disdain for the pair.
He could not fathom the source of Colin and Veena\'s audacity, their arrogance seemingly unfounded.
Was it their affiliation with the Solar Dynasty?
In the past, Trelina and Ix, who held even loftier positions of the High Tower within the Solar Dynasty, had not exuded such haughty superiority.
Of course, there was a distinction.
Back then, Trelina and Ix had encountered the Beast God Rexfit.
The thought sparked a dim light in Enzo\'s eyes as he cast his gaze upon Colin and Veena, a smile tugging at his lips.
These two still held a modicum of value, affording them a bit more time in this world.
Thus, Enzo refrained from displaying any anger, feigning ignorance to Veena\'s words. Instead, he took the initiative to share, "I was once captured by the Six-Winged Colorful Phoenix and left some residual energy in that unique space. This may serve as a potential guide."
Veena was taken aback and retorted, "You? "
How could this men possibly have escaped from the Six-Winged Colorful Phoenix?
She found it hard to believe Enzo\'s claim.
Enzo initially intended to provide some clarification, but at that moment, Colin confidently stepped forward and asserted, "It seems that the Six-Winged Colorful Phoenix is not as formidable as one might think; otherwise, a feeble individual like you would never have managed to escape. I maintain that in such a barren locale, it is implausible for such a mighty creature to exist."
Veena nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."
The two engaged in conversation, brimming with confidence, their words laced with disdain for Audrey and her Six-Winged Colorful Phoenix.
Fools, utterly irredeemable!
Enzo, however, was not inclined to offer any warnings; instead, he was intently observing how Colin and Veena would open the spatial portal. It was indeed not a particularly challenging method, but it required an exquisite mastery over one\'s supernatural abilities, as well as an acute perception of spatial fluctuations and the manipulation of one\'s energy to create similar waves.
Only then could the portal be opened.
But this was merely the first step.
When establishing a spatial portal, it was crucial to designate a destination.Otherwise, one would end up with a random portal.
Although random portals could facilitate long-distance travel, their destinations were unpredictable, and there was a significant risk of encountering spatial turbulence, which could be exceedingly perilous.
"It\'s your turn!"
Before long, Veena suddenly called out to Enzo.
Enzo hurried forward, inquiring, "What should I do?"
Veena gestured towards the small whirlpool entrance in front of Colin and instructed, "Imprint the energy signature you left in that special space onto this, and you will establish a connection."
"Understood." Enzo replied.
However, engrossed in infusing his essence into the portal, Enzo remained oblivious to the subtle change in the expressions of Colin and Veena.
In the case of a standard spatial portal, such an approach would ordinarily pose no issues.
Yet that peculiar space, guarded by the Six-Winged Colorful Phoenix, was akin to a house already possessed by an owner; attempting to enter without the owner\'s consent was tantamount to forcibly opening a door. Such an action would undoubtedly face resistance and might even alert the guardian of the special realm.
Colin and Veena had failed to inform Enzo of this.
Their feelings toward the abrupt arrival of the one who called himself "Crue" were far from favorable. They genuinely believed it would be an honor to have someone test the strength of the Six-Winged Colorful Phoenix on their behalf.
Unbeknownst to them, Enzo remained blissfully ignorant of these nuances.
He successfully sensed the energy he had deliberately left behind through spatial fluctuations and utilized one portion of that energy as an anchor, establishing a foothold in the spatial passage. Although he encountered some resistance, it was minimal—like a mere sheet of paper, easily torn asunder.
Thus, he paid it little heed.
Lacking familiarity with the spatial passage, he assumed this to be ordinary.
Though Colin and Veena sensed that something was amiss, they dismissed their apprehensions, growing ever more convinced that their initial assumptions were correct.
The Six-Winged Colorful Phoenix was not, in fact, very powerful.
As the spatial passage opened, the three of them stepped through.
In the next moment, they found themselves within the extraordinary realm.
Colin and Veena\'s expressions shifted drastically as they immediately spotted the enormous broken egg. They hurriedly rushed over and, upon witnessing the beastfolk hatchling nestled within the colossal egg, their expressions turned grim. One exclaimed, "This... this... the leaders never mentioned it was an egg from the Beast God Clan when they sent us here!"
Veena trembled as she urged, "Colin, we must leave swiftly!"
Among the beastfolk, distinctions were made based on their lineage, categorized as ordinary beastfolk, the noble beast kings, and the rarest and most formidable, the Beast God clan.
It was said that the Beast God clan possessed a divine bloodline.
They ascend directly to the Level 9 upon reaching maturity, marking them as the pinnacle of supernatural lineage.
Yet, to encounter a Beast God hatchling in such a place was utterly inconceivable.
It could only be brought here by deliberate intent, for the aura of the Beast God bloodline was distinctly unique, capable of emitting signals that would attract other members of the Beast God clan.
Now there was the mere presence of a solitary Beast God hatchling.
That indicated a singular truth — the Six-Winged Colorful Phoenix had obscured its bloodline\'s scent.
Moreover, such a feat could only be achieved by an entity of immense power.
Realizing this, Colin\'s visage darkened as he shouted, "Run!"
Alas, it was too late.
Audrey had mysteriously appeared in this space, advancing towards Colin and Veena with an icy glare that radiated a chilling aura of menace. She spoke in a calm yet threatening tone, "Do you presume you can come and go as you please? What do you take this place for?"
Colin brandished his sword which glimmered with blinding light.
Then he pointed it menacingly at the slumbering Beast God hatchling within the egg, warning, "Stay back, or I will slay the hatchling of Beast God clan without hesitation."
Audrey indeed stopped in her tracks.
A mere smile graced her lips as she mockingly remarked, "Are you certain you can slay the hatchling of Beast God clan?"
After speaking, her gaze drifted to the sword in Colin\'s hand. Upon noticing the patterns etched upon it, a subtle shift in her expression occurred, and she continued, "What a repugnant aura. How ironic that the Solar Dynasty, which prides itself as the guide for humanity, would resort to such nefarious acts and offer treasures like this. Moreover, have you mistakenly overlooked something? Should you dare to extinguish the bloodline of the Beast God clan, it will not be I who suffers the consequences, but rather the entire Solar Dynasty."
Colin and Veena hesitated.
The bloodline of the Beast God clan is a genuine deity lineage .Any who take the life of a deity\'s bloodline invite a dreadful curse upon their tribe, a fate that has led to the ruin of several formidable clans.
Colin and Veena were acutely aware of this history.
In the midst of their uncertainty, Audrey suddenly sprang into action.
Her form swiftly materialized before Colin and Veena, as if she had traversed time and space in an instant. With her right hand morphing into a sharp claw, she swiftly sliced across their throats.
Colin and Veena stood in disbelief.
Clutching their throats, they pointed a trembling finger at Audrey, struggling to utter, "You—"
And then, they collapsed.
Having concluded her grim task, Audrey shook her head slightly, scoffing, "Two fools."
As Colin and Veena fell, blood gushed from their necks, permeating the air with a pungent scent, awakening the Beast God offspring. It emerged from its colossal egg and began to feast upon the corpses of Colin and Veena, and with each bite, a transformation unfolded within the hatchling of Beast God clan.
Before long, nothing remained of the corpses.
The hatchling of Beast God clan appeared to be in a state of hunger, trembling as it crawled towards Audrey. Upon reaching her feet, it emitted a low, rumbling growl that caused a flicker of emotion in Audrey\'s eyes for the first time, shifting from indifference to fear, intertwined with a deep-seated yearning.
After taking a deep breath, Audrey sliced open her wrist, allowing her blood to flow freely.
Sensing the metallic scent of blood, the hatchling of Beast God clan seemed to detect a delectable treat, opening its mouth, filled with sharp teeth, and voraciously biting into Audrey\'s slender wrist.
"Ah!!"
Audrey let out a pained wail, her complexion swiftly paling as her vitality waned.
Blood from her body was being incessantly drawn away.
After more than half an hour, the hatchling of Beast God clan now sated, succumbed to slumber once more.
Only then did Audrey manage to shake off the Beast God offspring, tossing it back into the shattered remnants of the giant egg, while she herself gasped for breath, succumbing to a state of weakness.
At that moment, a crisp sound of clashing echoed through the air.
Someone else was here!
Audrey\'s expression shifted as she turned to look.
Beside the giant egg, Enzo had picked up a longsword and tapped it against the eggshell. The clear, resonant sound reverberated within the confines of this narrow, peculiar space, neither grating nor unpleasant, yet it stoked the flames of fury within Audrey\'s heart.
With gritted teeth, Audrey glared at Enzo, her voice seething with venom. "It\'s you!"
Enzo nodded, a gentle smile gracing his lips as he replied, "Lady Audrey, we meet again."
