Chapter 121 Strong Enemies Ahead
"Fire Cloud Rat? This... this is impossible!"
Yun Xiao stared at the fiery red mouse that seemed to be in deep slumber, his eyes filled with disbelief. Although he said "this is impossible," in his heart he was already somewhat certain.
Yun Xiao’s memories came from Long Xiao Battle God of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, who once fought wars for Emperor Canglong and saw countless mystical races, among which was a special group.
The Fire Cloud Rat hailed from this special group, or rather, it represented the lowest tier of this group. However, this did not mean that the bloodline of the Fire Cloud Rat was weak; any Fire Cloud Rat possessed the potential to reach the Holy Rank Third Realm.
Because the bloodline of the Fire Cloud Rat could evolve, if granted an exceptional opportunity, the Fire Cloud Rat could ascend to heaven in a single bound and evolve into the legendary Ancient Holy Demon: the Fiery Holy Rat!
Back in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, the Fiery Holy Rat lineage was indeed a very powerful race. Not only were the top fighters from this group like clouds in the sky, they could also command billions of low-rank rats, and even Emperor Canglong, the ruler of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, dared not provoke them lightly.
The reason Yun Xiao was so surprised and confused was that this place was the Hidden Dragon Continent, the lowest plane of the Nine Dragons Continent. Logically speaking, such a plane with sparse Heaven and Earth Energy should not have been host to a powerful lineage like the Fire Cloud Rat.
But no matter how much Yun Xiao refused to believe it, at that moment, the Fire Cloud Rat was lying quietly in the hot spring fluid. Both its appearance and the aura it emitted affirmed that his guess was not wrong at all; it was indeed a genuine Fire Cloud Rat.
"Could it be...this little fellow saved me?"
As Yun Xiao pondered fruitlessly, he suddenly thought of another fact: during the moment when his body was about to explode and perish, it was a special energy that intervened and absorbed much of the Stone Heart Marrow Energy, allowing him to narrowly escape death.
