Long Live Summons

As soon as Yue Yang finished speaking, the Chameleon Pi Yi who was in the audience, moved back by three large strides in fear.

She didn't know what were the chances of her bronze box obtaining the Divine Power of Calamity, but the percentages were definitely not small as it was most likely 999 times! However, no matter if it was the gold, silver or bronze box they opened, it would most definitely be a dead end for them!

Even with the chances being only 999 times stronger, how could anyone be spared?

The Chameleon Pi Yi noticed that her body gradually started to change. Her green skin, which was always moistened and greasy, had dried up at some point.

And now, it was none other than a hue of grayish-white.

Her scales itched, as if they were dried in the hot desert.

What kind of curse was this? One should know that her moistened and slippery green skin was the evolutionary direction she chose when she was cultivating Battle-type Beasts. It was the most important disguise for her— it could change color, stick to the enemy, and could also be used to fight; it was the most important, life-saving trait that would never dry out, so how could this be?

She couldn't help but scratch, sending countless thin scales floating in the sky as an aftereffect of the motion.

The crowd of beasts panicked and jumped away.

Straying away from the chameleon Piyi and the ape Samson, for fear of them being infectious.

"She's dehydrated!"

The elephant made an authoritative judgment, "Pi Yi has been hit by the Calamity, and it has a curse on her body that keeps dehydrating her body. If this goes on, it will not take ten minutes before she becomes a corpse!"

The chameleon screamed, "No, no I won't! I won't become a corpse. I am a chameleon with dual attributes of water and poison. Even if it is a curse, I won't let myself become a corpse! My stunts and abilities, except for Discoloration Camouflage and Long-tongued Hunt, I can still use the Secretion of Venom and Escaping Peeling! Even if it is a curse, only a few layers of skin will be removed at most, but I will not become a corpse!"

With her own strength at the 4th Level of the Heaven Rank, coupled with such special abilities, no one would have thought that she would die, at least it would not by dehydration.

But seeing is believing.

Layer by layer, her scales peeled off and her skin was torn.

Not only was her body getting drier, Pi Yi's strength was also plummeting. When more or less ten layers of her skin started to fall off, she had already fallen below the strength of her Heaven Rank and turned into a weakly-tiered beast.

After another three minutes, the female chameleon beast Pi Yi couldn't even keep the strength of a weak tier, plummeting directly below the level of the weak.

Even if she does not die, she has no chance of living anymore.

She lacked the strength of even being at the bare minimum level. Any beast could blow a breath of an attack, and she would be gone in seconds. Pi Yi fell onto the ground, reaching out to the other beasts as she stretched her hand, dying. Her dry mouth made her cries silent as she was unable to make a sound. The Cheetah brothers trembled with fright whereas the elephant was slightly more compassionate. He sprayed a burst of rain with his long trunk nose, and stepped on the puddle he formed on the ground to let Pi Yi soak in, hoping that her pain could be lessened before she died.

However, all the beasts watched dumbfoundedly, and the chameleon Pi Yi who was immersed in the water died out of dehydration, just under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Her body quickly dried up and shrank.

Finally, it floated on the water like a piece of dry wood.

It turned out that the chameleon Pi Yi, who had a height of 3 meters and a tail that was 6 meters long, shrank into a pitch-black corpse that became less than half a meter.

Witnessing such a horrible situation unfold before the other beasts' eyes started to numb their scalps, but it was not them who were the most terrified. The ape Samson who grabbed the silver box with its agility, had almost collapsed to the ground.

"Help me, help me, help me!" The monkey stretched out its hand to its former friend.

But its friends wanted nothing more than to stay away from him.

Seeing Samson the ape, they were absolutely terrified, so how could they reach out to rescue him! Moreover, even if they were willing to help it, they didn't know where to start. If the chameleon Pi Yi who was immersed in a pool of water died out of dehydration, skin tearing apart layer by layer, what else could be done to save the same, hapless Samson? Among them, Samson had a better baboon friend who said while trembling, "Samson, if you can't help it, I can end it for you, but that is all I can do. I'm sorry, I can't do anything. I- I really don't have any other way!"

The elephant saw that the skin of the ape Samson was not dry and was definitely not dehydrated. It quickly offered comfort, "Samson, maybe you are not cursed."

Yue Yang nodded and agreed, "It does take a certain chance to trigger the Divine Power of Calamity. If you are lucky, you might also gain the Power of Chaos, that's for sure!"

Samson was like a drowning man who found a life-saving straw and held onto it tightly. It asked in surprise, "I don't have the curse of the Divine Power of Calamity. My body is not dehydrated, so I won't die, right? "

Yue Yang shook his head, "Maybe, but I think it's more necessary to wait patiently. You know, the later the curse of the Divine Power of Calamity takes effect, the greater the power, even though I am not sure how the results would turn out. In addition, I am sure that there is more than one type of curse. There are countless of them, and dehydration is only one type."

"What? Waaaa…"

The ape Samson suddenly vomited, and a large amount of clear water spouted from its throat.

Its belly quickly swelled up, and its entire being looked like it had fallen into the sea and was submerged for two hours before being picked back up. In less than a minute, even its hands and feet were swollen.

Samson was pinching its neck, eyes protruding, and it was similar to a suffocation of pain.

But all the beasts onlookers could see that there was not a drop of water around, including the spit out of Samson's mouth— all the water had been evaporated with fire by the baboon. Even so, having no water around does not mean that Samson's life could be saved. Under the gaze of all eyes, Samson struggled painfully, and finally suffocated to death slowly. In extreme pain, its claws ripped off its face, and a terrifyingly bloody hole was dug in its throat. What made the situation even more horrifying was that the liquid flowing out of the hole was not blood. Instead, it was a pool of clear water from an unknown source.

The baboon closed its eyes helplessly. It was a friend of Samson the ape, but it could only watch him die and couldn't help at all.

Both the elephant and rhino were also shaking their heads and sighing.

No one could save them from the curse of the Divine Power of Calamity!

With the powerful strength of the ape Samson, who was at the peak of the 4th Level Heaven Rank, even if it was thrown into the ocean floor and immersed for two or three months, they believed that it would not drown. But right in front of them, in less than ten minutes, it had already drowned. It was to the point where even its body was swollen.

What was the curse?

Drowning!

Its method of death was the complete opposite of the chameleon’s Pi Yi. One died of dehydration and the other died of drowning. "Please take a look. Here, there is a golden box. I don’t know which friend would like to open it and take a look. Actually, the newborn beast is placed in this golden box. There are both the newborn beast as an appetizer and the Power of Chaos for your main course. What are you all waiting for? Come on, boss[1], would you like to take a look? The odds are very high, and it’s much better than the kind of foolish stuff like **, but this is a 100% win. If you win, you'll get the prize; but if you fail, there will be a consolation prize of Calamity!" Yue Yang was holding the golden box and swayed it flamboyantly in front of the other beasts. They were frightened abruptly before they yelled and fled one by one.

T/L Note: [1] In Chinese culture, people would sometimes use the term ‘boss' to address customers because it kind of persuades them and reel them in. It's also nice to hear yourself being called that (I mean, how often is someone an actual boss?)

Fleeing as far as they could go.

No one wanted to take another look at this weird newcomer.

It would be life-threatening to stay with this kid for another second.

Yue Yang waited for the beasts lying in ambush at the entrance of the fortress to escape before he shook his head boredly and opened the golden box casually.

Sure enough, there was a Reaper Mantis the size of Thumbelina quietly staying inside. She began to have cute eyes of wisdom and blinked at her master.

"This is the first lesson I teach you: there is no problem that cannot be solved with your mind. No matter how difficult your problem seems, there are ways to solve it, it just depends on how you use your strengths. When facing difficulties, you must learn to think and use your wisdom to solve the enemy. Even if you have more power than the enemy, you should do the same, because using wisdom to solve problems is much better than using brute force as you get twice the reward with half the effort!" Yue Yang smiled and used this process to teach the Reaper Mantis who was just reborn.

"Mhmm!" The Reaper Mantis nodded excitedly.

"Strategy is an important manifestation of wisdom. If I don't use two real boxes to deceive them to scare a bunch of useless idiots, how can I trick them with a fake golden box? So, you have to learn to use them. Also, make sure to keep calm at all times. Don't panic just because you're in an unfavorable situation, because that is the worst reaction," Yue Yang walked while teaching the Reaper Mantis who was still in the golden box.

Before he knew it, he had walked more than a kilometer away.

Yue Yang didn't stop until he almost hit the invisible Deer-riding Heaven Ranked warrior.

Seeing the fierce and vicious Heaven Ranker in front of him, Yue Yang was the first to react. He closed the golden box, covering up the Reaper Mantis and quietly wanted to put it into his pocket.

The Heaven Ranked warrior riding the Deer-shaped Battle-type Beast laughed and pointed at Yue Yang with his halberd, "You don’t need to put it away, I saw it. I'll say, boy, you killed two beasts as soon as you left the door, and you still have the guts to educate your beast with that opportunity? Did you seriously think that all the humans were dead in the entire Beast Valley? Who would have thought that with an age as young as yours, you are such a drag[2]! Now what kind of shitty wisdom would you like to conspire? Let me see it then, how are you going to ‘keep calm'?"

T/L Note: [2] this term is something like calling someone ‘arrogant and not knowing their place, perhaps too proud for their own good'.

Yue Yang turned around and wanted to run.

But it was too late.

The halberd of the Heaven Ranked warrior who rode the Deer-shaped Battle-type Beast flashed extremely fast, and a terrifying cone-shaped shockwave emitted from the halberd.

In an instant, the gold box in Yue Yang's hand disintegrated into powder.

If his body wasn’t being protected by the law, he might have let the opponent kill him in seconds.

"…" After only a second, the golden box containing the Reaper Mantis disappeared without a trace. Yue Yang looked at his empty right hand for a long time and couldn't say a word.

"Hahahahaha, kid, show me again! What kind of attitude of ‘keeping calm' did you use to educate your garbage beasts! In the Beast Valley, there will always be only the weak and the strong; the capable ones are the ones who are absolute, whereas the weak can just discuss wisdom that is even worse than shit. Pui! Your brain is still stunned and you haven't got a grip, right? I don't know how many weak people I've seen that were like you, who proclaim themselves about their so-called intelligence. Amongst all of them, there was no exception to either becoming a beast themselves or having their souls eliminated. Come on then, you drag! Be a little bit more ‘draggy' with me then!" The Heaven Ranked warrior who was riding the Deer-shaped Beast sneered at what Yue Yang said to theReaper Mantis just now.

"Actually, I can be a bit more of a drag. Do you really want to see it?" Yue Yang, who had lowered his head, suddenly raised it as he showed a sunny smile.

He took out a gold box from his pocket.

Gently opening.

The Reaper Mantis with the size of Thumbelina was smiling and staying inside.

Yue Yang ignored the dumbfounded opponent and continued to educate the Reaper Mantis, "The second lesson I want you to understand is a concept, that is to never solely trust your eyes. The eyes are easily deceived by phantoms, so they will deceive you! You must learn to sense with your heart, because your heart is not as easily deceived! Also, in the future, you have to pay attention to a problem. Never underestimate the enemy. No matter the environment, no matter how much of an advantage you had in that situation, you must maintain your original fighting mentality. Being proud and complacent would only be the starting point of your failure."

The Reaper Mantis listened very carefully and nodded obediently, "Mhmm!"

s

The Heaven Ranker who rode the Fire Griffin suddenly appeared behind Yue Yang and sighed, "What a terrible newcomer… For many years, I haven't seen such a newcomer, how interesting. This lifeless Beast Valley could finally bear a little bit of fun!"

The Heaven Ranked warrior who appeared seated on the Winged Unicorn appeared to be accompanying his friends and his face was full of sweat.

If it wasn't my partner who was eager to obtain the credit and took the initiative to fight, I'm afraid the person who would have broken the golden box would have been me, right?

The consequences of smashing the golden box. He didn't dare to think about it anymore! Looking at the young man with a handsome smile on his face, he felt that this kid was ten thousand times more terrifying than the devil!

Going to war with this kid? No. Even if you have a hundred lives, it wouldn't be enough deaths for him to fight this kid!
