Chapter 807: Chapter 45 Chu Chu [Two in One]

"Iron Eating Beast..."

"Legend has it that in ancient times, this beast was the mount of Jiuli’s Evil God, its ferocity reaching the heavens, easily terrifying gods and demons. It enjoyed killing Giant Demons and Divine Beasts, and chewing their bones for amusement."

"At its peak, even equally monstrous beings like Taotie and Chaos had to avoid its edge. Pure Blood Dragons and Divine Phoenixes dared not come near."

"After the tribes of Jiuli were suppressed by the divine mountain from the heavens, only the Iron Eating Beast survived with its robust physique. It occasionally appeared in the Southern Region. It can chew on metal, using it as sustenance."

"The elders of Shu Mountain had seen it several times, so they recorded this creature in the ’Fierce Beast Chronicles of Shu Mountain’ to caution the disciples."

"..."

Wen Yulong spoke confidently in front of everyone.

"Hmm..." Lin Bei voiced his skepticism, "You’re saying that the evil god used to ride this thing into battle?"

At that moment, Empress Feng, Chu Liang, Golden Fur Beast, Raging Dragon Colt, and the Little Yi Sisters, the regular inhabitants of the Silver Sword Peak, were all gathered here, forming a lively circle with Lin Bei, Shang Ziliang rushing over upon hearing the news.

In the middle of the circle sat a "fierce beast."

This Iron Eating Beast, when standing, was only half a person tall, and when sitting, it came to just above the knee. It had a black and white body, two dark circles around its small eyes making them appear bigger. Its body was round and chubby, sitting in a lump with short and fleshy paws. Currently, it seemed anxious, alternating its front paws over its belly fur nervously as if wringing its hands.

It had a small medicine basket on its back, empty but clearly indicating its purpose. It had caused the rune array to explode and fled in panic; the fur on its right side was still slightly scorched. Whether it was due to its thick skin or something else, the powerful attack of the rune array didn’t seem to have affected it significantly, only slightly damaging its fur which would likely heal in a day or two.

"The ancient texts shouldn’t be wrong. Since the elders mentioned it is a fierce creature, there must be a reason," Shang Ziliang analyzed, stroking his chin.

"It must be a disguise!" Henchman A declared confidently: "It deliberately takes on this look, then catches the enemy off guard to reveal its brutal nature."

"Exactly! Dangerous, extremely dangerous." Wen Yulong agreed.

"Um..." Liu Xiaoyu suddenly raised her hand, asking softly, "May I touch it?"

"Maybe not?" Lin Bei furrowed his brow: "They say it’s a fierce beast, so it definitely shouldn’t be touched without caution, but if possible... I’d like to feel it too."

"I want to as well." Liu Xiaoyi nodded.

"I’ll try." Empress Feng took the lead, reaching out and rubbing the little chubby thing’s head, where her palm landed felt a soft impression.

"Ooh..."

A whimpering sound came from the throat of the Iron Eating Beast; it lifted its paws trying to protect its large head, but...

It was a bit short.

Either its head was too large, or its paws were too short; it could only helplessly press against the skin on the sides of its ears, its gaze pitiful.

"Oh dear..." Seeing this, the Little Yi Sisters rushed forward too, caressing the Iron Eating Beast’s fur, finding it warm, smooth, and particularly pleasant to the touch.

Everyone joined in, even the Golden Fur Beast couldn’t resist poking it with its nose.

This little one, being handled by everyone, seemed reluctant yet didn’t dare to resist, and could only hug its head and close its eyes, resigned to its fate. Just as everyone was enjoying the feeling of the meatball, suddenly, a rumbling sound was heard.

"Huh?" The crowd stopped and turned to the sound.

The little one hurriedly covered its stomach with its paws, blinking embarrassingly.

"It seems hungry?" Lin Bei said.

Henchman B pondered: "What should we feed it then?"

"According to the legend, bones of Divine Beasts, exotic metals?" Wen Yulong suggested: "Those are not easy to find."

"How about trying to find some bamboo?" Chu Liang finally spoke up.

He had been observing this little one silently from the beginning. After an all-rounded meticulous examination, he could definitely assert.

This thing was none other than a giant panda.

Only in this world, as an Iron Eating Beast, it must have some extraordinary qualities; otherwise, it wouldn’t have survived the explosion of that powerful rune array. Despite its sluggish appearance and slow movements now, it had run off like a shot just a moment ago. Moreover, this little thing must be incredibly strong; otherwise, it couldn’t have possibly breached the outer formation he had laid out.

"Bamboo?" Lin Bei was puzzled for a moment: "Isn’t that looking down on a fierce beast a bit too much?"

But since Chu Liang suggested it, they still followed his lead despite their doubts. Shu Mountain naturally had plenty of bamboo, lush with spiritual energy, and they quickly cut a large bundle and brought it back.

To their surprise, after presenting the spiritual bamboo, the little one grabbed it and started munching as if quite adept at it.

Crunch, crunch, it began eating the bamboo leisurely.

"It really eats this stuff?" Lin Bei looked amazed at Chu Liang, "How did you know?"

"I guessed," Chu Liang smiled, "Its habitat must be not far from Shu Mountain; it must need food regularly, and the most suitable here is this spiritual bamboo. Recently, it must have reached a point where it needed to break through its realm, needing more spirituality, which the bamboo could not satisfy, hence why it came to Silver Sword Peak to steal spirit plants."

"That makes sense," Wen Yulong, seeing the reason in his explanation, nodded: "With the vast terrain and plentiful spirit beasts below the Cloud Sea of Shu Mountain, this Iron Eating Beast might indeed survive there."
