Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 69: Awakening of the Golden Dragon Beast

"Kiddo, you’re really going, aren’t you?" Qin Guofang exclaimed with a look of surprise.

Qin Shou nodded, "The greedy snake has already advanced to Dangerous Nine Stars. I can just barely count as a Newborn Nine Stars Beast Tamer."

"This..."

Upon hearing these words, the old couple’s faces immediately turned grim with worry.

Despite Qin Guofang’s earlier righteous declaration about sending his son to the battlefield, now that the moment had truly arrived, his heart was awash with mixed emotions.

They had no idea what the situation outside was. If they encountered a powerful monster, not to mention a Newborn Nine Stars Beast Tamer—even a Vajra Realm cultivator could simply vanish without warning.

But West City had already issued its orders. No matter how unwilling they were, there was no other option.

"Kiddo, make sure you come back safely!"

Hua Ping, uncharacteristically composed, was the first to accept the reality.

In this age of rampaging monsters, life-and-death separations were unavoidable.

As parents, they’d already mentally prepared themselves for the possibility of burying their black-haired child before their white-haired selves.

If other families’ children could go to the battlefield, why couldn’t the Old Qin Family’s?

Qin Shou’s gaze was resolute, and he nodded fiercely.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely return safely."

With that, the greedy snake beneath him let out a low roar and leapt into the distance in one fluid motion.

Watching Qin Shou’s figure grow smaller and smaller as it disappeared into the horizon, the old couple finally couldn’t hold back their elderly tears.

No one expected this day to come so quickly.

...

"Boom..."

The skies above West City were painted with fiery clouds stretching across the heavens.

Mecha units, flying beasts, and Beast Ability Masters fused with bird genes continually sped toward the city walls.

On the ground, large groups of cultivators—Newborn Nine Stars or higher—rushed forward at top speed.

Perhaps some cultivators who met the criteria didn’t show up due to various reasons, but the majority didn’t hesitate in the slightest.

West City was their home.

If West City was destroyed, their home would be destroyed too.

"Roar..."

The greedy snake dove down from above, landing heavily on an open space near the city wall.

With its body measuring nearly twenty meters, it was unmistakably a Dangerous Nine Stars Dragon Beast.

West City guard personnel wasted no time, handing Qin Shou a sleek, futuristic Energy Pulse Gun.

"Recall your beast and wait for orders on the wall."

After saying this, the guard hurriedly ran to assist the next person.

Holding the Energy Pulse Gun, Qin Shou said nothing as he recalled the greedy snake into his storage device. He quickly ascended the stone steps and climbed atop the towering hundred-meter-high city wall.

Here, whether combat personnel or arriving cultivators, everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their expressions tense as they eyed the fiery clouds outside the wall.

Within the blazing clouds, a Flame Dragon hovered in the sky, beating its wings, its body engulfed in scorching flames that illuminated half the skies.

Even separated by thousands of meters, Qin Shou could still feel the oppressive heat in the air.

"Ahem, everyone listen to my command and prepare for battle at any moment!"

At the top of the city wall, a familiar figure shouted aloud.

Qin Shou recognized him; this was the man who had awarded him ten thousand Federation Coins after his first kill of a pangolin beast.

One of the West City Guard Team’s captains—Gao Xuan.

As time passed, more and more cultivators arrived at the wall. Qin Shou even spotted Lin Xiaomei among them.

"Lin Xiaomei, over here!" he raised his hand and called out.

Seeing him, Lin Xiaomei immediately moved to Qin Shou’s side, mounting her Energy Machine Gun at the edge of a wall opening.

Qin Shou glanced at the small Energy Gun in his hands, then at the machine gun Lin Xiaomei was wielding. He blinked in confusion.

"Why is your gun bigger than mine?"

Lin Xiaomei explained, "A Beast Ability Master’s base strength exceeds that of a Beast Tamer and Mechanical Master by a considerable margin. That’s why we can handle these more lethal Energy Weapons."

The Energy Machine Gun in Lin Xiaomei’s hands had enough firepower to inflict serious damage to Dangerous Nine Stars monsters; it was difficult for those without sufficient strength to wield.

Such Energy Weapons were typically reserved for the Guard Team or distributed temporarily to citizens under special circumstances to boost West City’s overall combat capacity.

Qin Shou nodded, then turned his gaze to the distant Flame Dragon, his eyes narrowing slightly.

With the intense tension in the air, the two refrained from further idle chatter.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, the dragon within the fiery cloud let out a deafening roar, sending a torrent of ferocious flames toward the ground.

"Boom!!"

The flames struck the earth, igniting the surrounding region within a thousand meters into an inferno of blazing hellfire.

The searing heat waves surged toward West City, only to be stopped by the Guard Team’s activation of the city wall’s Energy Shield.

"Ang!!"

Amidst the roaring flames, a massive golden dragon head slowly emerged, its giant maw exhaling mysterious golden light.

"Boom!!"

In an instant, the brilliant, golden light streaked across the air, effortlessly piercing through the fiery clouds.

"Whoosh..."

The Flame Dragon flapped its wings frantically, narrowly evading the golden beam, roaring in fury but refusing to engage directly.

Amid the collective gasps, Gao Xuan’s face darkened as he shouted, "Dragon Beast sighted—await orders!"

"Yes!"

Thousands of voices echoed in unison, their spirit overwhelming.

At one corner of the wall, when Qin Shou saw the dragon’s golden head emerging from the flames, his face turned grim.

"It’s that one!"

Lin Xiaomei, puzzled, asked, "You’ve seen this Dragon Beast before?"

Qin Shou nodded, "This is the Dragon Beast that slept beneath the ruins of the Old Era city."

"How? Wasn’t it supposed to be in slumber?" Lin Xiaomei asked in disbelief.

Qin Shou looked up at the Flame Dragon hovering high above, a bitter smile spreading on his face.

"The Super Soaring Dragon’s nest isn’t far from the ruined city. I suspect that during Lord Yan Long’s battle with the Super Soaring Dragon, he accidentally disturbed this Dragon Beast."

"The golden Dragon Beast is a Nightmare-level Monster. Even though it’s wounded, it’s clear that Lord Yan Long—despite being an Unbreakable One Star—doesn’t stand a chance against it."

Lin Xiaomei’s face grew pale, "Could Lord Yan Long have been chased all the way to West City by this Dragon Beast?"

"Impossible." Qin Shou shook his head, "The golden Dragon Beast can’t fly. If Lord Yan Long wanted to escape it, it wouldn’t have been difficult.

This golden Dragon Beast was lured here!" he speculated.

"Lured here? But why?" Lin Xiaomei asked, dumbfounded.

"Why...? Of course, to hunt it!"

With those words, Qin Shou ignored Lin Xiaomei’s shock and turned his focus to the top of the city wall, where a dashing young man had suddenly appeared.

Dressed in fiery red Battle Armor, the young man’s face bore no sign of tension, instead wearing a calm smile.

He was none other than Flame Dragon, who had journeyed from the Main City!

Standing by Flame Dragon’s side was the cold-faced Leng Wanbai, also present at the scene.

"Brother, are you confident?" Leng Wanbai asked, her face showing a trace of worry.

Flame Dragon grinned confidently, "Of course I am. This Dragon Beast is a rare find, a mutated form of Monster Dragon Manda. Do you think I’d easily let it slip away?"

"Monster Dragon Manda? The same Manda that fought Godzilla during the Old Era?"

Leng Wanbai’s eyes widened in shock. A monster of such heritage? freewēbnoveℓ.com

Flame Dragon’s eyes lit up with excitement, "That’s right, and it’s a mutated form of Manda. Imagine how rare it must be."

"No matter what, today I must obtain this Manda’s Monster Gene!"
