Castle of Black Iron

After the 6 human fighters caught the wind lion for less than half a minute, the airboat had slowly landed onto a lush meadow which was over 200 m away from this open land.

When the hatch door of the airboat was opened, a 20-odd years old handsome man who looked slightly green due to overconsumption of alcohol and plenty of sex got off the airboat.

This young man was only LV 8. However, he wore an expensive boa silk robe. As it was hot. He held a folding fan in an arrogant and personable manner.

An old man in the clothes of steward followed the young man.

Seeing the young man getting off the airboat, the 6 human fighters bowed towards the young man and the old man behind him at the same time.

The playboy seemingly had not seen their movement. He just slightly raised his folding fan to have them straighten up their bodies before hurriedly coming to the front of the wind lion whose head was still covered by the nets and starting to check the mutated beast.

"Ahh, you've not killed this wind lion, have you?"

"Childe Deng, this wind lion has just passed out after being drugged by the anesthetic. It will wake up in 1 day. After waking up, it would be a bit fatigued; however, 3 days later, as long as it could eat and drink, through careful nurture, it would recover. As for the wounds on its legs, just daub some medicament on them..." One of the 6 human fighters said.

The young man was not an idiot. After hearing his words and checking the situation of the wind lion, he had known that the wind lion was still alive.

With a sound of "pah", the young man folded his fan as he looked at the 6 fighters with a smile, "You 6 brothers of Mangshan Mountain are really good. I've been here 3 times in vain; I've not imagined that you could catch one only after coming here for 2 days. Good, I will pay you 20% more. I was told that there are rarer golden-crown bloody boa living beings less than 1,200 miles away from the border of the black iron world. Can you catch one for me? I will pay 10 times higher, how about that?"

"Childe Deng, the golden-crown bloody boa is a LV 14 mutated living being. Its ability is close to LV 15. Our 6 brothers are really not enough to catch it..."

"You can't..." The young man revealed a hopeless look. However, at the sight of the wind lion at his foot whose tail was longer than 2 m, he felt a bit better, "It doesn't matter. After all, with this wind lion, I could also be imposing for a period in Huaiyin Prefecture..."

After hearing his words, the 6 brothers lowered their heads without an empty look. They were serving people for money within their own abilities.

"Childe, we've been out for almost 1 month. As this wilderness is close to the black iron world, it's very dangerous. It's inconvenient for us to stay here too long. As we've already caught a wind lion, we'd better go back home as soon as possible in case that old madam is worried about us..."

"Fine, let's go back then. Oh, contact Qionglou Pavilion. After coming back, have them send me a set of saddle and armors according to the size of this wind lion. I don't care about the price. It must be cooler than that of the mount of the 3rd son of Liu Clan that I saw last time..." Childe Deng's eyes flickered with hope.

"Yes, young master!" The old steward behind Childe Deng threw a glance at the 6 brothers of Mangshang Mountain before walking towards the airboat with Childe Deng.

The 6 human fighters carried the wind lion and followed them towards the airboat.

Soon after they walked a few steps forward, the earth quaked suddenly. The 6 fighters became shocked at once. Childe Deng also looked around with a vacant look, "Ahh, is it an earthquake?"

When the earth quaked, the surrounding flocks of birds flew off at once.

The quake seemingly happened under their foot at an increasing frequency. The leaves of the shrubs on the surface of the earth quivered constantly.

The old man behind Childe Deng tightly frowned. Only after a few seconds, he suddenly changed his face greatly as he shouted, "Childe, hurry up, leave out of here..."

Closely after that, he grabbed Childe Deng's waistband as he shot towards the hatch door of the airboat as fast as a lightning bolt.

This steward was a black iron knight.

The 6 human fighters also responded to it rapidly. However, they could never match a knight in speed.

Not until the old man flew into the hatch door with Childe Deng did they realize what happened and hurriedly run towards the airboat.

The 6 human fighters didn't know why the earth suddenly quaked. Now that the knight had changed his face and escaped away, they realized the severity of the event as they made the same response to it.

"Drop the wind lion and all the heavy equipment..." The eldest brother roared. These hunters who usually stayed in the wilderness understood what was most valuable for them.

The moment the steward rushed into the airboat, the airboat had started to ascend rapidly as if it had received the order of the steward. Before the arrival of the 6 brothers, the hatch door had been closed.

When the 6 brothers arrived at where the airboat landed, the airboat had already reached 100 m high in the sky.

The 6 brothers could only see the airboat accelerating towards the direction of Taixia Country like a stray dog with pale looks.

"F*ck your ancestors..." The eldest brother roared.

"Eldest brother, what should we do?" As the earthquake intensified, the other 5 brothers became flurried.

"Run..." The eldest brother replied. Closely after that, the 6 brothers ran towards the east at their full efforts. At the same time, they took out a vial of full-purpose medicament respectively and drank it.

...

Only after 1 minute, when the airboat was only over 12 miles away and the 6 brothers were only about 1.8 miles away, the earth within 1 mile where they caught the wind lion suddenly bulged. Closely after that, a black monster as huge as the huge deep-sea monster being covered with steel scales broke out of the earth like a submarine that rapidly floated up from the bottom of the ocean.
