400: Chapter 050 Battle Sky Bear Saint 400: Chapter 050 Battle Sky Bear Saint Zhou Yan got the key, only to see in the midst of these rows of colorful pillars, there was a huge square prison.
This prison was ancient yellow in color, as if cast from steel, exhibiting a kind of ancient bronze charm.
Compared to the other pillars, this prison did not have any purple lightning or any terrifying pressure.
But before this, Zhou Yan simply could not see such a prison; it was only when the key reached his hands that he was able to see it.
Everything here appeared extremely eerie.
Zhou Yan paused thoughtfully and walked toward the ancient bronze square prison.
At that moment, the key inexplicably began to emit a bronze-colored aura.
This aura possessed a spiritual and gentle power that seemed capable of soothing one’s mind and soul.
Zhou Yan’s soul was already completely shattered, and at this moment, it was only the energy within his body that imprisoned his soul, preventing it from crumbling.
However, under the gentle spiritual radiance, Zhou Yan felt his throbbing and restless soul gradually stabilize.
If there had been a possibility of his shattered soul collapsing before, the situation had now noticeably improved a lot.
“This is an ancient divine object,” Zhou Yan marveled in his heart, but he did not hesitate to approach the square prison.
There was nothing inside the prison, nothing could be seen, and the void was empty, without any ‘Stinky Dog Bear’ holy beasts.
Zhou Yan stared at the empty prison for a while, a thoughtful expression showing on his cold and determined face.
Then, he took out the key, concentrated his still intact soul consciousness, and touched the key.
As expected, the key suddenly projected an inexplicable image, which turned out to be a miniaturized version of the ‘Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City,’ which was extremely peculiar.
The projection of the miniaturized Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City appeared, and immediately the prison changed to look exactly like a miniaturized version of the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City!
Not only that, but the handle of the key now also revealed the aura of the Heaven and Earth Dao, manifesting the rhythm of Heavenly Destiny.
Following that, the key broke apart, and its handle flew into the miniaturized Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, deriving into a Heavenly Destiny Tea Tree.
The Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City appeared.
The Heavenly Destiny Tea Tree appeared.
Then, surprisingly, Blood Water Lake appeared, with strands of crimson and bright blood water suddenly appearing and forming directly into a miniaturized version of the Blood Water Lake.
Above Blood Water Lake, a huge altar appeared, like a kind of illusion manifested from the Sword Illusion Realm.
A giant, pitch-black bear with hints of brown, appeared on the altar within the projection.
It looked completely sealed and unable to escape.
However, when Zhou Yan’s gaze swept over it, the big black bear suddenly opened its eyes.
Its eyes, as large as bull testicles, opened exceedingly wide, and its gigantic fingers pointed at Zhou Yan, manifesting an exceedingly humanized expression of excitement.
This excitement was so intense that it left him speechless.
“Are you the Holy Beast Stinky Dog Bear?” Zhou Yan sent the message instinctively.
“Hm?”
The big black brown bear paused, standing in astonishment for quite some time.
It stood frozen on the spot, its eyeballs rolling around, as if contemplating a deeply complex issue.
After a long while, it suddenly jumped up, roaring loudly, “Damn it, it must be that old coot Wan Jian Tian blackening my name.
How could I, Battle Sky Bear Saint, possibly be a Stinky Dog Bear?
I’m not smelly in the slightest, in fact, I’m quite fragrant, like the scent of a valley orchid and jasmine tea that young girls have, you know…”
“Eh, you don’t believe me?
If you don’t believe me, smell for yourself!”
The big black bear patted its massive chest, speaking like a roaring gorilla.
Its voice was like rolling thunder, vibrating one’s eardrums.
Zhou Yan retreated a few steps, not because he was shaken by the sound, but by the suffocating odor.
The nondescript stench was so strong it almost gave him the urge to vomit out the meals he had eaten a decade ago.
“Ugh—It really stinks!”
Zhou Yan didn’t mince words, directly confirming his response.
“Er…
this, actually it’s because I haven’t bathed in a long time.
I do have a natural body fragrance, beautiful like a spring-minded young girl’s virgin scent.
Just by smelling this odor, you can experience the beauty of a young girl’s scent—of course, you must bathe to achieve that, ideally in Original Holy Water or Life Spring Water, which is even better.
The wonderful feeling of using Wan Jian Tian’s Life Spring Water for a bath last time, I still find it utterly delightful.
It was truly a great pleasure…”
The big black brown bear rambled on, and its voice gradually lowered, but Zhou Yan felt that this creature, no matter how he looked at it, was up to no good.
And…
This big black brown bear spoke using modern Earth terms, which felt incredibly odd to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan’s facial muscles twitched, he always considered himself to have thick skin, but compared to this Stinky Dog Bear, there was simply no contest.
“This Stinky Dog Bear, certainly is no good thing; it’s probably a real troublemaker and stirrer of strife,” Zhou Yan couldn’t help but think this in his heart.
He hesitated about whether to really let it out, but remembering the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Ghosts’ entrustment to have this Stinky Dog Bear guard him for ten years…
Zhou Yan reluctantly accepted the idea.
“Alright, Ancestor of Ten Thousand Ghosts ordered me to release you, but you must guard me for ten years, at least until I find the way ‘home,'” Zhou Yan said thoughtfully.
He felt that both the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Ghosts and the Stinky Dog Bear were hiding secrets from him.
“Home?”
The Stinky Dog Bear paused again, then stretched out his fluffy paw and vigorously scratched his head, causing flakes of black fur and dandruff to float down like snowflakes.
Seeing this ‘Anomaly,’ Zhou Yan instinctively felt itchy on his body, and couldn’t help but retreat a few more steps.
This Stinky Dog Bear was indeed as filthy as they come.
“Crack—”
The stinky dog bear grabbed a louse as big as a fingertip and crushed it with its fluffy beast paw, bursting out crackling sounds.
It muttered under its breath, “Last year I bought myself a climbing pack.
How come my realm has regressed so severely?
Turns out it’s you, you blood-sucking devil.
I’ll bite you to death.”
As it muttered, it tossed the crushed louse finger-sized into its mouth and ‘pop, pop, pop’ chewed it up and swallowed.
Zhou Yan was stunned, his facial muscles involuntarily twitched a few times, then he stepped back several paces.
He felt a surge in his throat, almost throwing up a mouthful of blood.
This…
this is simply a freak.
Zhou Yan somewhat regretted opening the key and triggering this miniaturized version of the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City.
“Home…
home…
I can’t even remember that much anymore.
But who made me use the Life Spring Water bath from Wan Jian Tian, owing a huge favor?
Sigh, I’ll just reluctantly guard you for ten years.”
The stinky dog bear said with great ‘difficulty.’
“Reluctantly?
Then forget it, I don’t like to force anyone.”
Zhou Yan glanced at the stinky dog bear.
He truly couldn’t see any good points in it, only glaring flaws.
This is not a ‘Holy Beast’ that ordinary people could bear.
“I’m not a person, so you don’t need to be reluctant.”
The stinky dog bear patted its chest and then a puff of black smoke came out, surely another stench.
“…”
Zhou Yan’s face showed some speechlessness.
“Bro, I’m a Holy Beast.
Guarding you is actually pretty good.
You’re an Emperor Qi Thunderflame Sword Body, with great opportunity.
Following you, I could get lucky.
I don’t need any rewards from you.
Hmm, I can even take care of your enemies for you.
Some Profound Level genius from the Life Tribulation Realm, I could smash them into minced meat with one palm, then boil it into Holy Medicine to nourish the yang—oh no, I mean replenish vigor and blood.”
The stinky dog bear said somewhat ingratiatingly.
Zhou Yan looked at the stinky dog bear and saw that although the creature’s gaze was ‘frivolous,’ it seemed quite sincere.
In fact, within its eyes, one could even see their own reflection.
Zhou Yan vaguely felt that the stinky dog bear held some inexplicable ‘fear’ toward him.
Without showing any expression, he said, “Actually, I’m not that picky, and I don’t have many rules, just a few small requests.”
“Tell me, tell me, Emperor Qi Thunderflame Sword Body Brother Li—oh no, what’s your name again?
I, War Sky Sacred Bear, don’t know your name yet.”
The stinky dog bear scratched its head, quickly covering up the mistakenly blurted ‘Brother Li.’
As if he hadn’t heard, Zhou Yan nonchalantly said, “My name is Zhou Yan!”
“Brother Zhou Yan, for the next ten years, I’ll guard you.
Don’t worry, any male geniuses that come by, I’ll help you kill them, turn them into Spirit Essence nourishments for us to share, and collect all the females to serve in your harem, letting you enjoy daily.
How about that, brother, am I not generous?”
The stinky dog bear said brazenly.
Zhou Yan’s gaze sharpened, and the stinky dog bear immediately stepped back, looking at Zhou Yan with some inexplicable fear.
Then, realizing its ‘incorrect’ behavior, it laughed loudly, “Just kidding, Brother Zhou Yan, don’t mind me.
So, what are your demands?
Just get me out of here, and I, Battle Sky Bear Saint, will definitely obey, without going back on my word.”
The stinky dog bear said, seeing Zhou Yan still not speaking, apparently not trusting it.
It became anxious and paced back and forth, continuing, “In that case, I swear, if I deceive you, may I never score a good female dog bear for life, and may I have no big chicken—”
“…”
Zhou Yan looked at the stinky dog bear weirdly, seeing it extremely anxious and somewhat inexplicably flustered.
He sighed and said, “Your matters, I’m not concerned with.
But there are three points, you need to pay attention to.
First, regardless of how, you must get rid of that stench on your body and stay clean; otherwise, I absolutely can’t stand such a freak like you.”
“That’s not a problem.
Once I refine a strand of Heavenly Tribulation, after getting out of this prison, I can wash away the stench.
Out of the stinky arises fragrance; by then, you’ll know I really smell good.”
The stinky dog bear guaranteed, pounding its chest.
“On my bear’s honor—I mean, on my bear’s honor!” it said, afraid Zhou Yan wouldn’t believe it.
Zhou Yan thought to himself, you still have a bear’s honor?
Believe you?
Yeah, right!
But he did not say this out loud, merely nodding and saying, “Secondly, you are too big, and too talkative, nagging like a stinky old woman with bound feet.
If you are to follow me, you should make yourself a bit smaller, don’t be like Optimus Prime, too conspicuous.
And don’t be too verbose!”
“That’s easy to fix.
I can be soft or firm, can stretch or shrink, can grow or diminish—”
“Third, once outside, for major matters, you must obey commands.
When necessary, you must transform into a mount.
Can you do that?” Zhou Yan cut off the stinky dog bear’s increasingly indecent talk.
“Eh?
A mount?
Listening to orders is fine, but being a mount, this…
this…”
The stinky dog bear hesitated this time.
“Is there a problem?” Zhou Yan asked, staring into the eyes of the stinky dog bear.
“Well…
I’ll help you tame an Immortal Deer, Unicorn, Dragon Horse, or Qilin Immortal Beast as a mount instead, Brother Zhou Yan.
This mount will definitely be no worse than me.”
The stinky dog bear was not willing to serve as a mount, and even though it said it in a negotiating tone, Zhou Yan could sense its reluctance.
“Alright then, let’s go with a Unicorn.
Rumor has it Unicorns have Thunder Saint Blood lineage.
Are you sure you can get one?”
Zhou Yan felt somewhat reassured.
If the stinky dog bear agreed to any condition, he would have had his doubts.
But clearly, the stinky dog bear had its own bottom line, which indicated that, more or less, it could do what it promised.
