Legend of the Asura

Ma Lie Hu, who had been in bed for a long time and couldn’t stand steadily, stood there in a daze. He couldn’t understand his wife’s strange actions at all. He finally couldn’t help asking, “Woman, what is going on here? Why haven’t you told me who these two guests are?”

Madame Ma had finished thanking them and quickly came over to help Ma Lie Hu before telling him everything that happened. From him and the village chief going to the Heavenly Dragon Continent, from losing his soul to meeting Feng Xiao three months ago, and finally to him waking up……Ma Lie Hu silently listened to it all with an exaggerated expression on his face.

“I……I remember now. I was sent to a dark cliff by the Unbounded Scroll and then I wanted to bring that very strange egg back, but I was found by a woman wearing black clothes. She wouldn't even say anything as she sent a black thing at me……and then I don’t know what happened.”

Ma Lie Hu slowly remembered what had happened with his wife’s scattered words. He firmly believed his wife and after hearing everything that happened, he couldn’t help looking at her with a guilty look. He was also filled with gratitude towards Feng Xiao.

“Adventurer Wind Spirit.” Ma Lie Hu looked at Feng Xiao with a grateful look as he said in a disheartened voice, “I will never forget your life saving grace, but……Ai, we live in a poor place and my woman and I don’t have anything valuable. We might never be able to repay your grace for the rest of our lives.”

“Oh, it’s fine. Seeing this husband and wife reunite is more than enough for me” Feng Xiao said with a smile. It’s fine if there was no reward, this was considered a good deed, so why bother worrying about it.

“Right!” Ma Lie Hu suddenly slapped his head as if he thought of something, “My life was given to me by adventurer Wind Spirit, so I’ll tell you my greatest secret as a bit of gratitude.”

“Greatest secret?” Feng Xiao’s heart was moved as he revealed a curious look.

“That’s right.” Ma Lie Hu revealed a proud look, “I accidentally discovered this secret three years ago and I didn’t even dare tell my woman. I dare say that in the entire Beginner Village……No, even the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent, there aren’t many people who know about this.”

“Oh? The more you say, the more curious I become. Just what is this secret?”

Feng Xiao had a curious look as his heart started beating faster. This quest really wouldn’t not have a reward. The secret that he mentioned should be a giant reward!

“This secret, ai, you might not believe it if I said it……The secret is, there’s actually a Super Divine Beast hidden in Beginner Village 99999!” Ma Lie Hu lowered his voice as he said this.

“What?” Feng Xiao was stunned as he exchanged a shocked look with Feng Yao. Madame Ma also revealed a stunned look……It was even very hard for a Gold Boss to appear in the Beginner Village, how could there be a Super Divine Beast?

“It’s true!” Seeing their looks of disbelief, Ma Lie Hu became anxious. This was the proudest discovery he had ever made and people didn’t believe it the first time that he had said it out loud……that really wasn’t something he could take.

“Then where is this Super Divine Beast?” Feng Xiao asked. Seeing Ma Lie Hu’s expression, he half believed him.

“Ai, I have nothing to hide in front of my benefactor. I’ll tell you everything.”

Ma Lie Hu picked up a teacup from the table and took a long drink. He wet his throat while also relieving the chill in his body before he started telling his story.

“People familiar with me know that I am a hunter that likes novel things. I’ve always had a dream since I was young, I wanted to travel every part of the Heavenly Dragon Continent, but my dream could only be a dream since I was forced to the Beginner Village.” Ma Lie Hu shook his head with a disappointed look.

“Since I couldn’t realize my dream, I could only put my interests into the Beginner Village and I swore that I would search every corner of it until I found a map that had never been discovered. However……the Beginner Village is just too small and it is like a grain of rice compared to my dream of exploring the Heavenly Dragon Continent. It took just a single week to explore every inch of the Beginner Village.”

“How could that satisfy me? I ran around every corner of the Beginner Village each day to find a hidden map, but I couldn’t find anything even after several years.”

He gave a sigh as he fell into his memories of being helpless. He then changed the topic and his voice became excited, “Three years ago, I wandered to the village chief’s house while I was bored. If I am crazy about exploring, the village chief is crazy about inventing. He was trying to make the ‘Unbounded Scroll’ then, but he kept failing again and again. When I saw him, he was busy with inventing. There were a bunch of scrolls all around him and he told me that those were failures.”

“I took a scroll to look at its stats and found that these failures didn't have a proper use. These failed ‘Unbounded Scrolls’ could only transport a person to a random place in the Beginner Village. For us people that were familiar with the Beginner Village, they didn’t have any use at all.”

“Being with the village chief that I didn’t have anything in common with, I felt very bored. In less than a few minutes, I was prepared to explore the Beginner Village again. But as I was leaving, I thought of something and took one of the failed Unbounded Scroll, crushing it without knowing it. I just wanted to see where I would be sent to, but who would have known that……”

“You were sent to a Hidden Map and found the Super Divine Beast!” Feng Xiao said with a heavy look.

Feng Xiao suddenly felt that this Beginner Village 99999 really was too loveable. The successful “Unbounded Scroll” had taken him to see the Sacred Beast Qilin and Ma Lie Hu’s Unbounded Scroll had taken him to see the Demonic Dark Dragon and the Radiant Sacred Dragon. Even a failed product had sent him to see a Super Divine Beast. Could it be that the village chief was an immortal’s reincarnation with divine luck?

“Right!” Ma Lie Hu nodded before continuing, “When I saw everything around me, I was shocked because that place was a place that I had never seen before. Moreover……I swear that I’ve never seen a more beautiful place in my life. The grass was green, the flowers were all blooming, and even the ground released a scent that filled one with pleasure. The air was so fresh that it was hard to believe. It was a pure world that didn’t have a single trace of impurity.”

As he said this, Ma Lie Hu revealed an infatuated look as if he could see that shocking scene once again.

Feng Yao’s beautiful eyes fell into a daze as she felt a yearning for this. She suddenly felt warmth in her hand as Feng Xiao looked at her with a faint smile. With just a single look, she understood his meaning and her heart filled with happiness.

“I don’t know how long I stayed there, but when I came back to my senses, I couldn’t restrain my excitement. I started exploring that place that was like heaven. Behind me was a stone wall that was so tall I couldn’t see the top of, that blocked off all paths and I could only vaguely see a valley in front of me. So with this belly filled with excitement, I walked for around two hours to finally arrive at the valley’s entrance. However, what I saw first was a large bird, one that was so big that I almost called out in shock.”

Large bird? Could it be……Out of the Heavenly Dragon Continent’s ten Super Divine Beasts, only it had a bird’s form.

“The two cliffs on the side formed a large valley that cut into the mountains and it was so long that I couldn’t see the end of it. That large bird was actually a Super Divine Beast! There are only ten Super Divine Beasts on the Heavenly Dragon Continent. I was certain that because I am the most excellent hunter, I could easily tell its grade.”

“I noticed it, so naturally it also noticed me. But it just guarded the entrance of the valley as if it was guarding something and it didn’t react. I boldly took a step forward, but I immediately regretted it as it looked at me with a look of warning. My body was almost torn to pieces from its aura. Only when I took a few steps back with trembling feet, that pressure disappeared.” Ma Lie Hu let out a sigh as if there was still lingering fear.

“Although it was like this, it didn’t care as long as I didn’t approach the entrance to the valley. So I wandered around among the various flowers there.”

“The Super Divine Beasts have high intelligence and most of them have gentle personalities. As long as you don’t offend them, they won’t hurt you.” Feng Xiao didn’t feel surprised at all. He then asked, “And then? How did you get out?”

(The ten Super Divine Beasts of the Heavenly Dragon Continent: Giant Golden Dragon, Radiant Sacred Dragon, Demonic Dark Dragon, Vast Sea Rage Shark, Phoenix Feather Brocaded Emperor, Fantasy Rainbow Butterfly, Golden Winged Phoenix, Dual Headed Illusory Eye Nether Wolf, Heaven Swallowing Beast, and (Tenth hidden). It should be easy to guess what is hidden in the Beginner Village.)
