chapter-496

"Unfortunately, I can't do that. Dark Tremor is part of the Dark Tribe. I am not going to betray my tribe for you, Sir." The rat beastmen replied. The rat beastmen did not even think about it as he gave his answer.

"I see, so this talk is merely to stall time until your reinforcement comes?" Tang Shaoyang squinted his eyes at the rat beastmen. He said so because he noticed there was a group of five beastmen right above them.

Boom!

A hole formed between him and the rat beastmen as five figures came down. The five figures were the five beastmen with vulture heads, a bird species with no hair. Each of them was around two meters tall with two hands and two feet. The five beastmen in front of him were the closest beastmen to have a body that was similar to a human.

If not for the slight white hair on their skins, he might think of them as human if he did not see their heads. Kairu still had his red lion hair and Wen still had the jade feather, totally different from the ones in front of him.

Tang Shaoyang cast the [Basic Detection] on one of them to see how strong the reinforcements were.

The five beastmen bowed their heads toward the rat beastmen even though the five soldiers were much stronger than him. At this point, it was pretty clear that Aki held a high position in this Dark Tribe. Knowing this, Tang Shaoayng wanted, even more, to take this Aki to be his subordinate. The rat beastmen might be the key to conquer the Dark Tribe.

"We greet Elder Aki." The five Vulture Heads greeted the rat beastmen. The latter nodded his head and pointed his tiny finger at Tang Shaoyang and the little kitten, "Dispose these two intruders from my house!"

The five Vulture Heads turned around and looked toward Tang Shaoyang. As for the little kitten, its body shivered in fear. Clearly, this little guy was afraid of the five vulture heads and the rat beastmen.

Tang Shaoyang stretched out his hand and cast his skill, [Dragon Transformation]. His enemies were higher in level, so he was not going to underestimate them. He noticed that the rat beastmen was surprised to see his transformation. As for the five Vulture Heads, they did not have emotion to start, so they did not show anything at his transformation.

The tunnel was not a great place to fight as it was too narrow. That was his advantage actually so the five Dark Vultures could not surround him. However, he threw such a big advantage as he dashed out with the little kitten in his hand. The little kitten was quite useful, he did not mind keeping it.

Tang Shaoyang dashed out of the tunnel and spewed a big flame toward the crowd of the Dark Tremor. He would teach the rat beastmen who dared to play a trick on him. The flame spread out as the Dark Tremor squealed in agony.

"NOOOO!!!" Tang Shaoyang heard the scream from Aki from the tunnel. That rat beastmen truly loved this Dark Tremor. At least, from the scream, that beastmen was pained for losing at least thousands of Dark Tremors.

The five Dark Vultures chased him afterward. The five figures flew toward him, one of them flew straight toward him while the other four tried to flank him.

Tang Shaoyang put the little kitten on his shoulder and told the Infant Dark Predator, "Hold it tight, little glutton!"

The Dark Vulture shot toward him as his hands transformed into a talon. The Dark Vulture traveled fast as it arrived in front of him in no time. The talon was right in his face, but a few centimeters away from him, an earth spike shot down from the ceiling. The earth spike hit the Dark Vulture and crashed it down.

"Heh, it is easier to control the Elemental Power when I am in my Dragon Transformation," Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle. He had to touch the ground or the wall to control the Earth Elemental perfectly, but not it was not the case when he was in Dragon Transformation. With just a simple thought, the elemental moved on his will.

The four Dark Vultures pincered him from the four flanks. With a wave of his wings, his figure flew up and avoided the four Dark Vultures' strikes. Their talons hit the empty air and Tang Shaoyang countered with Fire Breath. Before the fire could hit the four Dark Vultures, there was a shield made of Dark Energy formed above the four Dark Vultures.

Tang Shaoyang frowned as he could tell that the Dark Vulture should not have time to form that shield. It must be someone else that helped them. He looked at the tunnel, sure enough, Aki was helping the four Dark Vultures.

Bam!

The Dark Vulture who got slammed down by the earth spike flew up again, The earth spike injured the Dark Vulture externally, but it still could fight. It shot toward him with unimaginable speed, much faster than before. He was caught off guard by the Dark Vulture's speed, "They can move even faster…" He muttered as he grabbed the two talons that tried to strike his chest.

Meanwhile, the four Dark Vultures who managed to avoid the fire appeared behind him. They used their talons, striking him from the back.

[Dispersal (Passive) triggered]

Dispersal was a skill that reduced the attack force by fifty percent. Even so, the four Dark Vultures were much stronger. [Flame Shield] broke out and the flame countered the four Dark Vultures. At the same time [Mana Shroud] fell apart and his body shot downward.

Boom!

The little kitten who had been holding up on his neck managed to jump out before Tang Shaoyang crashed to the ground. The little guy saved himself at the moment of danger. However, it did not leave Tang Shaoyang. The Infant Dark Predator meowed at the side where Tang Shaoyang crashed.

"I am fine! I am fine!" Tang Shaoyang immediately stood up again. The talon did not even leave a scratch on the black scale. He just felt a slight numb at the place where he was hit.

Tang Shaoyang stretched his neck as the cracking sound rang in the empty underground space. The cracking was quite loud as it echoed in the underground space, "It's been a long time since I felt hurt," Tang Shaoyang looked toward the little kitten who tried to climb up from his right foot, "What are you doing? You should stay down here while I am fighting them," Tang Shaoyang kicked the little kitten away.

The little kitten seemed to understand him as it ran away, searching for a place to hide. Tang Shaoyang shook his head and looked toward the rat beastmen, Aki, "You should think carefully about my offer." The rat beastmen maintained his silence as it kept looking at Tang Shaoyang.

"You don't need to answer it right now. I will give you time to think until I finish off these five vultures. By that time, I want to hear the answer!"
