Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 17: The Beast Revenge

The snake's scales glistened with an eerie blend of midnight green and ebony, their texture resembling the gnarled bark of the ancient trees that surrounded it.

With each sinuous movement, it slithered through the underbrush, causing leaves to wither and crumble beneath its weight.

Its eyes, deadly yellow orbs, gleamed with unsettling intelligence that seemed out of place in a creature of such primal power.

They surveyed the forest with malevolent hunger, betraying a predator's cunning concealed behind its serpentine guise.

As the monstrous python traversed deeper into the forest's inner sanctum, its path was marked by a trail of devastation.

Trees bent and cracked under its colossal bulk, their branches splintering like brittle bones.

The forest floor, once teeming with life, withered at its touch, as if an invisible plague followed in its wake.

Its presence was not due to hunger but revenge.

As one of the kings of the Dreadshade Forest, the news of the tiger clan's death had spread in the beast community.

Also, all the beasts in the outer region had been killed by humans.

How could the beast race accept this lie? Thus, the beast kings in the core area sent one of their most deadly and dangerous companions.

The Abyssal Viper King.

...

In the heart of the Su Sacred Clan, a handsome young man in white was practicing his sword technique.

Standing a couple of meters from him, three people looked at him with adoration and respect.

"Little brother is getting more unfathomable each day?" Su Lan said in a low voice.

"Yeah...." Su Ming nodded, and a flash of worry appeared on his face.

"But I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing..." He added.

Hearing this, the three descended into abrupt silence, leaving only the sound of a sword slicing from the distance.

"Things have come to this. We can only choose to trust and follow his lead." Elder Su Jie said with deep conviction.

"We shouldn't worry about that... You two have broken through to the Peak of the building realm, stage 9," Su Lan said with a bright smile.

Hahaha.

Elder Jie laughed happily, soothing his long white beard. He had been stuck in the Body Building realm, stage 8, for more than 20 years, with no hope of breaking through.

But now, everything changed.

As for Su Ming, he was also happy. He didn't expect a cultivation technique he got from Su Yen would make such a huge difference.

Apart from Su Yen being a monster, he was the most talented person in the Su clan, being in the Peak of Body Building realm, stage 9, in his late twenties.

"With these mortal-rank cultivation techniques and martial skills in the clan library, it's only a matter of time before the strength of the clan rises to another level," Elder Jie said with a smile.

"All this happened because of little brother..." Su Ming looked at Su Yen in the distance with admiration.

No one knew where Su Yen got all those Mortal techniques, but they had a guess.

Nevertheless, they didn't care and were thankful for him sharing it with them.

"How is the progress of the Metal Bone Construct?" Elder Jie looked at Su Lan.

"With the massive expansion of the workshop and the new idea from Su Yen... What did he call it..." Su Lan rubbed her forehead, trying to remember the strange word her brother used.

Seeing Su Lan trying to remember what Su Yen said, Su Ming and Elder Jie looked at each other in confusion.

"Yes, I remember now." She exclaimed with a bright smile on her face.

They could see how she racked her brain, trying to find the strange word.

"It is called the Assembly Line."

"Assembly what?!" Both Elder Jie and Su Ming exclaimed.

"Haha. That's how I reacted when he told me. But this idea was the best I've ever seen." She giggled.

"Now, with this idea, we can create nothing less than eighty to a hundred thousand Metal Bone Constructs each day," She said proudly.

"What!" Elder Jie and Su Ming exclaimed once again.

Haha.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Su Lan chuckled and covered her mouth with her palm.

Just as the three were relishing how far they've come under the leadership of Su Yen.

A rapid footstep came from the entrance. Hearing the rapid footsteps, the three stopped their conversation and looked at the entrance.

"Supreme elder...." A man in his mid-twenties, adorned in the Metal Bone Construct, rushed inside the courtyard.

"Captain," Su Ming called with a slight frown on his face.

This was one of the captains guarding the forest. Why was he here?

The captain turned his head and saw Su Ming, then quickly gave a military salute.

"Commander!" He exclaimed.

"Why are you here, and why did you leave your post?" Su Ming asked with a solemn voice.

Taking a deep breath, the captain arranged his thoughts and said slowly.

"Elder, Commander, a beast king from the core region has been spotted on the edge of the inner region."

What!

Hearing the astounding news, Elder Jie and Su Ming had a deep frown on their faces.

The two looked at each other and knew what this meant. The beasts are coming for revenge.

"You don't have to worry. I've long expected their arrival," Su Yen's voice came from the side near them.

When the four turned their heads, they saw Su Yen standing beside them.

When did he arrive beside them?! They all exclaimed in their hearts.

"Captain, lead the way. It is time to deal with the beasts once and for all," He said calmly.
