When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 682 - 502: Big Guy_2

"It's all your doing, isn't it? Did you just poke someone in a sensitive spot? Erha, why did you stick your tail in there?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Woof." Erha said it just wanted to see how deep the hole was, but somehow it had angered the other party.

"Stop messing around!"

Xiang Beifei touched his forehead and had no choice but to find a mountainside nearby. He drilled a hole in the mountainside and sat down temporarily in the shallow hole. The recent scuffle with that bulky creature had drained much of his strength, so he needed to rest for a moment.

Youmong timidly poked its head out from the pocket on Xiang Beifei's chest, still looking a bit traumatized. However, it clearly looked at Xiang Beifei with a hint of admiration, probably impressed by his abilities just now.

"You-you!"

Youmong whispered softly.

"I don't understand." Xiang Beifei spread his hands.

Youmong blinked, hesitated, and then called out again.

"You better go and learn the language from Xiaohei!"

Xiang Beifei paid no attention to Youmong and instead took out the red bead he had obtained from the soil earlier, examining it closely.

This red bead wasn't a system item but resembled the material of a pioneering stone, emitting a familiar aura. he just didn't know what this red bead was used for.

After studying it for a long time, Xiang Beifei still could not figure out the meaning of the red bead, but he didn't dwell on it and simply stored the bead away. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Speaking of which, what exactly is that bulky creature?"

The databases of Jiuzhou had no detailed records, and he still did not know what that desolate beast was called. However, he had taken a photo of the desolate beast and decided to name it "Earthbeast" for now. If he could return to Jiuzhou, he would make it a reference.

Xiang Beifei sat meditating in the cave all night. Even in the Great Desolate Realm, he did not forget to train earnestly during his rest. Training helped solidify his Orifice Soul.

Now, Youmong seemed less resistant to Xiang Beifei and was starting to communicate with Xiaohei. Xiaohei had managed to make Youmong slightly lower its guard, and it was currently learning the Youmong language.

Xiaohei was very clever. Although it did not speak Youmong, it could still learn. When it had encountered the Wooden Kirin, it had learned the Kirin language between "Woof" and "Bark."

Erha also learned how to bark for a long time, but it naturally understood human language, so it saved the trouble. Anyway, each of them spoke their own language, and they could understand each other just fine.

Xiang Beifei was now waiting for Xiaohei to understand Youmong so that it could translate it into "Bark" for Xiang Beifei. This process was a bit complicated, likely involving "Youmong" to "Bark" then to "Human Speech." Xiang Beifei admired himself for being able to deal with these abnormal little fellows.

Xiang Beifei did not try to cross the plain but started moving along the edge of the plain to avoid agitating the Earthbeast again. With the help of a compass, even if Xiang Beifei took a detour, the issue wasn't too significant. He just had to continue adjusting his direction intermittently.

It took him about three days to finally bypass the great plain, and the direction on the compass finally normalized, which was a relief.

However, he had not flown far when he encountered a huge lake ahead.

The lake was vast, stretching as far as the eye could see. The compass always pointed toward the distant horizon, indicating he had to cross the lake.

The more he walked forward, the more one thing baffled Xiang Beifei.

The Great Desolate Realm was simply too vast. Just the plain where the Earthbeast had been almost matched half of Jiuzhou's territory. Compared to the vast expanse of the great plain, the mainland of Jiuzhou, covering millions of square kilometers, was practically a mini-island.

If the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage wanted to expand its territory, it could easily capture other races for confrontation. Why did it have to invade Jiuzhou? Was this Great Desolate Realm not sufficient for their amusements?

Xiang Beifei sat on a small boat formed from breath soil, beginning to cross the lake. Flying and traversing space were also very consuming of Spiritual Power. In such a place, he would paddle if he could, to save some energy.

The small boat was just big enough for Xiang Beifei alone. Though made of sand and soil, it was incredibly fast. Xiang Beifei used a Beast Pill as a power source to propel the earth boat, allowing him to save his Spiritual Power. He also used a Beast Pill from an Invisible Beast to cloak the small boat, avoiding any unwanted encounters with desolate beasts.

The journey was lonely, but thankfully, Xiaohei and Erha were there to chat and relieve the boredom.

Fortunately, Xiaohei had finally clarified what Youmong had said, and during the exchanges between Xiaohei and Youmong, an unexpected discovery had struck Xiang Beifei.

"Youmong understands what I'm saying?" Xiang Beifei was quite taken aback.

Xiaohei nodded, explaining that Youmong was born knowing what Xiang Beifei was saying. It didn't understand Xiaohei's language, but curiously, it understood Xiang Beifei's words without knowing why.

However, because Xiang Beifei looked just like those people, it was always afraid that black tentacles would suddenly spring from Xiang Beifei's body, which made it very resistant to him.

"Strange, Erha can understand human speech, you can understand human speech, Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage can understand human speech, and even the newly born Youmong can understand human speech... Can everyone in the world understand human speech?"

Why was it that all intelligent species seemed to understand human speech, but them, being humans, couldn't understand other species' languages?

Suddenly, Xiang Beifei recalled Shen Tongtong, whom he had rescued from the clutches of Huajiuyue in the Great Desolate Realm. Shen Tongtong had awakened the SR-level Beast Language System, capable of learning the languages of various desolate beasts. It seemed that the Ghostly Visage had targeted her precisely because of this ability.

Were these events related in some way?

"Since you understand my speech, then you should know that those desolate beasts, called Ghostly Visage, and I am human. We belong to different species. They specialize in killing our people and then use our images to slaughter your tribesmen." Xiang Beifei explained to Youmong.

Youmong blinked, probably recalling the strength Xiang Beifei displayed the day before, and its wariness towards him seemed to lessen.

"Don't worry, no black tentacles are going to sprout from my body." Xiang Beifei shrugged.

Youmong moved closer to Xiaohei. Although less wary, it still hadn't completely trusted him.

"Do I look like a bad guy?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Youmong hesitated and then nodded.

Erha laughed uproariously beside him, mocking Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei was at a loss. This little fellow was probably just a newborn whelp, with a too simplistic understanding of good and evil. The trauma inflicted by the Ghostly Visage, which had slaughtered its tribespeople, made its caution understandable.

"Xiaohei, ask it why the Ghostly Visage targeted the Youmong species." Xiang Beifei said.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Xiaohei had already asked, and Youmong didn't know.

It had just been born, rooted at its father's feet, when inexplicably, the Ghostly Visage attacked. In its dying moments, its father used his enormous tree roots to wrap around Youmong, shoving it into the soil for cover, saving it from disaster.

This incident had happened about five days before Xiang Beifei arrived here.

"That's really strange." Xiang Beifei pondered.

But at that moment, Xiaohei suddenly sniffed the air alertly and barked forward.

Xiang Beifei furrowed his brows and looked ahead.

They had been sailing all along, and while the lake surface was usually calm, occasionally some desolate beasts would surface to bask in the sun. Xiang Beifei hadn't disturbed them, allowing the little boat to automatically avoid them, but now a pungent smell of blood wafted from ahead.

Suddenly, Xiang Beifei saw a huge pile of shredded flesh drifting by in front of him.

The pile of flesh was white, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time and was nearly putrid. It was unclear what desolate beast it came from, some of its skin still bore steel-like barbs.

"Is there a fight between desolate beasts ahead?"

Xiang Beifei frowned, having witnessed fierce battles between formidable desolate beasts during his journey across the Great Desolate Realm, becoming accustomed to the sight of these creatures fighting almost daily.
