Chapter 1435 The Seven-mouthed Greed Beast Tribe
The moment they set foot in the Legendary Beast Region, Ricky immediately sensed the presence of its environment's purest energy.
The Misty South Palace was one of the oldest and strongest forces in the Misty South, so they had enough clout to obtain a prime territory in the region, one that was highly sought after and overflowing with fortune and power of heaven and earth.
However, the Legendary Beast Region made this grandeur seem like child's play. The area it covered was even more magnificent compared to the Misty South Palace's lands.
Perhaps, it could be thought of this way: the Misty South Palace's location could be deemed the best in the Misty South among forces established by humans, while the Legendary Beast Region's location was the best among the dwelling places of beasts.
Of course, in terms of area, the Misty South Palace couldn't compare with the Legendary Beast Region. After all, the former was just a force, and no matter how influential they were, they couldn't hold a candle to where most descendants of legendary beasts lived.
When they entered the region, Ricky took a deep breath, absorbing the pure energy from nature. "This Legendary Beast Region is amazing! It feels like the invisible heavenly power here is even stronger than in the Misty South Palace,” he proclaimed excitedly.
At this point, Ricky had come out of the Massacring Zone and withdrew his replica.
"That's actually accurate. The invisible heavenly power in this place is much more potent compared to the Misty South Palace. Do you know what, exactly, the legendary beasts are? They are blessed creatures that possess unparalleled power. They could easily summon and use the power of heaven and earth to their advantage.
However, humans are born weak and helpless.
That is why the energy that comes from nature in the places where the legendary beasts live is stronger than those where humans resided,”
Leilani lengthily explained.
"You make a good point!" Ricky said. "But we, humans, have unimaginable potential. Our strength is limited only by ourselves!"
"Indeed, you possess great potential. You were born as weak babes but could grow stronger after hard cultivation. Moreover, you acquire blood power during battles to improve your strength, which you integrate with the energy to form unique mutants. That's brilliant! Only humans could have created the mutants.
As time passed, humans have grown stronger and stronger, resulting in more powerful human clans. They surpassed even the strength of beasts.
Perhaps, time will come when the Misty South Palace's territory will have better resources and purer energy compared to where the Legendary Beast Region is situated,”
added Leilani.
"Ha-ha! I think we went too far out of our topic," Ricky suddenly interrupted with a laugh.
"Yeah. Let's not talk of these deep truths, such as the heavenly law and the fortune,” agreed Leilani, nodding. "Anyway, we should get moving. I'll take you to our tribe's territory, where you can get some rest."
All of a sudden, a creepy voice sounded in the air. "Young master, it looks like we hit the jackpot!" As soon as Ricky and his companions heard it, a feeling of intense discomfort came over them, as the voice contained an exceedingly greedy power.
Indeed, it had the power of excessive greed. They couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Yeah, you are right. We got lucky today. Ricky alone is already a fount of treasure,” another voice said.
Before long, three men and two women came out of nowhere and alighted in front of them.
These people appeared like they came straight out of fantasy, in that they looked ridiculously beautiful.
They, however, were all overly obese.
Their leader was a man who stood a head taller than his companions and wore fine clothes. Two men and two women flanked him on both sides.
"Well, well, well... These four women are tantalizing, especially that one wearing a black dress. She looks incredible,” the one in charge sighed.
He was pertaining to the Evil Mandragora, who had drawn his attention almost immediately. "Young master, I call dibs on that girl from the Fox tribe. I hope you'll let me have her.”
"Ricky and the other two guys are cute,” the two women chimed in as they sent hungrily gazes in Ricky and his companions® direction.
Of course, their remarks got on Ricky's nerves. "Who are these guys?" he asked Leilani with much annoyance.
"This isn't good, Ricky. These guys are from the Seven-mouthed Greed Beast tribe," Leilani relayed with a serious expression, her eyes wide with urgency.
"What?!" Ricky and the others exclaimed in unison, and gasps of shock could be heard from the girls.
After learning that the strangers were from the Seven-mouthed Greed Beast tribe, it now made
sense to them why the five people exuded a greedy aura. Even their voices sounded greedy!
According to legends, chaotic legendary beasts originated from chaos at the beginning of the
universe. The Chaotic Greed Beast was one of them.
It was an evil chaotic legendary beast, an extremely evil being.
Their greed, primarily, made them evil.
In their mind, everything in the world belonged to them, and they should get it.
The greed slept deep in their bones, and even their auras were stained with greed.
The Chaotic Greed Beast didn't exist anymore, but its descendants represented the extreme greed it left behind.
Among its descendants, those with the weakest blood power were the Two-mouthed Greed Beasts, while those with the strongest blood power were the Nine-mouthed Greed Beasts
As the name suggested, Two-mouthed Greed Beasts had two mouths that could help them devour almost everything in the world. The Nine-mouthed Greed Beast, on the other hand, had nine mouths.
The number of mouths a Greed Beast had indicated how strong its blood power was.
Unlike its descendants, the Chaotic Greed Beast only had one mouth, but it could devour anything in the world, including chaos.
Hence, its mouth was called the Mouth of Chaos.
The descendants had one goal all their lives, and that was to evolve into the Chaotic Greed Beast. And for that, they needed to increase their mouth to nine mouths using their blood power.
Once they had nine mouths, they would integrate them into one, and only then could they evolve into the Chaotic Greed Beasts.
Of course, that was no easy feat.
This was the case not only for the Chaotic Greed Beast but also for the other legendary beasts. It was challenging and almost impossible for the descendants of other legendary beasts to evolve into chaotic legendary beasts.
Countless eras had passed since the beginning of the universe, and no descendants of the legendary beasts ever successfully evolved into chaotic legendary beasts.
"The Seven-mouthed Greed Beast's blood power is stronger than many of its kind, and I heard that they are incredibly powerful as well,” Ricky muttered, and his intent gaze never left the five creatures from the Seven-mouthed Greed Beast tribe.
The anger he felt earlier eventually dispersed and gave way to disdain.
These were the Greed Beast's descendants, and thus, it was only natural for them to be greedy. And they showed their greed in every aspect.
Of course, even though Ricky could understand that was their character, it didn't mean that he would spare them.
"No wonder this place is called the Legendary Beast Region. Even rarely seen creatures like the Seven-mouthed Greed Beasts can be found here." Mordechai voiced out his thoughts.
"I don't think it's surprising at all. After all, they can only satisfy their greed in a remote but amazing place like this," Claire chimed in.
When the five creatures heard them, they burst into delighted laughter. "Ha-ha! Look how famous we are. Even these people recognize us,” the one in charge declared with much pomp and arrogance.
He was evidently thrilled because a lot of people knew about their greedy character.
"The extreme greed you represent is very befitting of your character,” Ricky remarked. "You know, I don't care how greedy you are. But not everyone can be your prey."
"That's where you are wrong!" the young man in charge retorted. "It is nature that dictates for the strong to prey on the weak. And everyone, including you, will always be weak prey for us.”
"Is that so? Why don't you give it a shot?" Ricky sneered in reply, seemingly unthreatened. "Humph! Just because this Ricky has been recognized as the number one casting genius, he has become so arrogant!" another man from the Seven-mouthed Greed Beast tribe commented with a disdainful look.
