Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 920 - 920 906 Grasshopper Dragon

Chapter 920: Chapter 906: Grasshopper Dragon Chapter 920: Chapter 906: Grasshopper Dragon “Your martial arts aren’t even as good as mine,” Wan Danrong continued, “To control the Crystal Beast, you need not only concentrated attention but also strong inner power.”

“Who says controlling a Crystal Beast can rely on just inner power?” Yang Tao’er said with a cold laugh.

Ye Chen looked over.

Rong’er asked again, “If not relying on inner power, then what?”

Yang Tao’er took out a bag of Silver Needles and said, “Silver Needles can also control monsters.”

“You’re going to use Silver Needles to control it?”

“Yes, Silver Needles.”

Ye Chen asked, “Are you confident that you can control the Crystal Beast with Silver Needles?”

“Controlling you with Silver Needles is easy, let alone a monster,” Yang Tao’er picked out three needles from her package and added, “These monsters, trying to control them with inner power, won’t be so easy.”

“Looks like I should avoid provoking you in the future.”

Rong’er asked, “What are these exactly?”

Yang Tao’er answered, “All very precious treasures. Do you know why my acupuncture skills are so good?”

“Why?”

“Because I practice with them.”

“Where did you get them from?”

“Under my father’s bed.”

“Where did he get so many monsters?”

“Did you know my father’s master was a veterinarian? But not just any veterinarian, he was a magical veterinarian for monsters. In the past, he used to help people in the Demon Domain treat their Crystal Beasts.”

Ye Chen commented, “Your father’s master was a veterinarian, how did he become a Divine Doctor?”

“Actually, people and beasts are similar; it’s mostly the same,” Yang Tao’er said.

“So when you treated my wounds, you were essentially treating me like a beast.”

“Of course.”

“No wonder you’re so ruthless, regardless of whether it’s necessary, you just stick needles into me without wanting to waste a single one. I noticed you didn’t sterilize your Silver Needles either; did you use them on those monsters before sticking them into me?” It was clearly the same set of Silver Needles she had used on him before.

“Need sterilizing? You and these beasts, there’s no difference, all the same.”

“You’re a crazy woman, not even sterilizing them.”

“Hurry up, how are you planning to rescue them, or do you still want to waste time here?”

“Are these really Giant Beasts? How lethal are they?”

“They’re not that big. This Grasshopper Dragon is at most ten to twelve meters tall and twenty to twenty-five meters long, it devours humans without leaving bones behind. This Fire-spewing Bat Dragon with long spines is roughly the same size; it’s somewhat bat-like, covered in horns and can fly, with a body emitting sparkling fire. Wherever it goes, it can ignite things. I don’t know if, in your opinion, that counts as lethal. The other one, I really don’t remember its name; anyway, it has a huge gaping mouth, I call it the One-eyed monster. It resembles a scorpion and is probably about the same length, though I’ve never measured it.”

Listening, Wan Danrong was dumbfounded, unable to believe that the gentle and kind girl carried such creatures.

“There’s not much to do in the mountains, so occasionally, when I find the time, I study them. Otherwise, how could I improve my acupuncture technique? It’s all gained through practice.”

Ye Chen sniffled and said, “You promise, when the time comes to release them, that they won’t bite me?”

“I can’t make that promise; you have to be careful yourself. I’ve never controlled three at once before; I study them one by one. Controlling three simultaneously without real combat experience is a first for me. You decide, do I release all three or just one?”

“Release them, all of them, as long as they don’t bite you to death,” of course, the more of them there were, the stronger their killing power would be.

“Then rest assured, although I cannot ensure they won’t bite others, I can guarantee my pets won’t bite me,” Yang Tao’er packed up her bundle and asked Rong’er, “Do you want one too? Didn’t you say you could control one or two?”

“Better not, yours are too fierce for me; I have brought a couple myself.”

It turned out that although Yang Tao’er’s martial arts were quite ordinary, her skill in controlling beasts with Silver Needles was quite impressive, and she had been nurtured by her godfather. Originally, they were for practicing acupuncture, but gradually, she learned to use the Silver Needles to control beasts, and the creatures she handled grew larger and larger.

“You can control beasts with Silver Needles too; teach me in the future,” Wan Danrong pleaded.

“Sure, you can control people too, like this monkey; I can make it obey, go crazy, or be paralyzed at will. You can make it change from a man to a woman if your skills are good enough.”

“That seems much more practical than learning martial arts.”

“Of course, it can also stimulate their potential, forcing out their latent abilities. It’s very practical.”

Ye Chen asked, “You don’t still have any Silver Needles left in me, do you?” After her explanation, he felt a tingling sensation in his back.

“You’re only realizing this now, but it’s too late,”

Wan Danrong chuckled.

There was a commotion on Xishan Gui’s side.

Wan Danrong asked, “Master, should we take the initiative and strike before they’re ready, catching them off guard?”

Ye Chen, of course, thought the same. Naturally, he wanted to catch them off guard; he had already surveyed the terrain around them.

“We also need to be ready to escape; I wonder if they’ll cling to us relentlessly,” Wan Danrong said, starting to worry.

Ye Chen looked at Yang Tao’er and said, “This girl is so formidable; if we leave them to her, I’m sure there won’t be any problems.”

“I don’t have that kind of ability, better leave the people behind to you,” Yang Tao’er responded.

There was movement among Xishan Gui’s people, and a messenger reported, “Zun Yu and his group are coming.”

Ye Chen was taken aback. How did the people from the Third Demon also turn up? At the beginning, he wondered if the Demon and Ghost Realms had so many people! Some were still at Qingxuan Sect, but now hearing about Zun Yu, it seemed he had mixed in with the people from Third Demon.

“The people from the Third Demon are here too,” Wan Danrong added.

“I heard,” Ye Chen replied.

Xishan Gui’s people began to stir, and Ye Chen drew the sword given to him by Divine Doctor Zhu. He had yet to discover its power, as he had not yet used it in practice.

“What’s the matter, lost your confidence?” Wan Danrong knew he had a miraculous escape from death and since his martial arts had not fully recovered, it was certain to have some effect.

“Not at all, wiping out Xishan Gui is a piece of cake,” said Ye Chen, an experienced veteran who wouldn’t be afraid of them.

Ye Chen continued, “So, when the time comes, I will charge in. You guys don’t need to follow. Once I get inside and find Liu Yunzhi, I will try to bring him out as quickly as possible. Just wait outside for me. Since Yang Tao’er trusts her Grasshopper Dragon and the One-eyed monster so much, let’s give her a chance to create chaos outside. The crazier, the better. Rong’er, then you throw the incombustible straw we prepared into the crowd.

Make them unable to tell how many of us there are. I will bring the person out as fast as I can.”

Looking at Yang Tao’er, although she was very confident, he wasn’t as assured.

“Don’t worry, if I say I can control it, then I can. Not like you, all talk and no action,” Yang Tao’er retorted, aware that he was not very confident in her.

“That’s reassuring. Just don’t end up attacking the wrong people in the confusion, or it would be better not to release those creatures at all,” Ye Chen said.

“I won’t let you look down on me,” she replied confidently.

Her confident demeanor really reminded him of a mother monkey.

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, “Alright, everyone be careful.”

Liu Yunzhi, having received the distress signal, knew Qingxuan City was in grave danger. If he didn’t rush back immediately, the city could fall at any moment. He couldn’t allow this to happen and hurried back with his men. Little did he know that he had angered the forces of the Demon and Ghost Realms.

He had not anticipated that the Demon and Ghost Realms were not interested in breaching the city walls but rather in annihilating their rescue forces.

Ye Chen watched ahead as the people of Xishan Gui grew impatient, itching to move, waiting for the final signal.

The forest here was dense, with scarcely any wind. The mist from the mountains struggled to clear.

Yang Tao’er looked at Ye Chen and asked, “Is it time?”

“It’s time.” Ye Chen replied, watching Yang Tao’er and instructing Wan Danrong to retreat a bit. He still needed to be cautious to see if the girl could really control the situation—or else, he could push the monster into the crowd.

Suddenly, a giant Grasshopper, as if erupting from the ground, flashed its blood-red eyes and bared its gaping maw, threateningly brandishing its scythe-like legs.

With a ferocious roar, it shattered the forest’s silence, ready to devour. Seeing Ye Chen, it prepared to pounce. Ye Chen stepped back. If it really did, he would lead it straight into the crowd.

The girl leaped, and several Silver Needles flew out, striking various acupoints. Then, the Grasshopper Dragon turned its attention to Yang Tao’er, following her movements as if dancing.

“It’s under control now,” Yang Tao’er announced.

“Then what are we waiting for? Send it to Xishan Gui’s people; let them experience the power of the Grasshopper Dragon,” Ye Chen urged.

With a wave of her hand, the Grasshopper Dragon, like an obedient Tibetan Mastiff guided by a piece of meat, charged toward the mountainside.

It truly was three to four zhang (10 to 13.3 meters) tall and seven to eight zhang (23.3 to 26.6 meters) long.

The people, hearing a roar, thought a tiger roamed in the mountains until the Grasshopper Dragon lunged at Xishan Gui’s men, shattering the mountain’s tranquility.

Liu Yunzhi and his men, worried about an ambush and proceeding with caution, saw the Grasshopper Dragon slither out like an eel, and everything became clear immediately.

Liu Yunzhi shouted, “Ambush!” and quickly made arrangements to see how many people they had and how to break out.

“Not bad, quite impressive,” Ye Chen admitted with some admiration.

“Of course, what did you expect? Not everyone is like you, boasting about a little skill,” she shot back with a smirk.
