CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 232 SUMMONING THE HOLY BEAST

The Rafam Continent is an expansive and boundless giant planet.

No one has ever dared to claim that their footprints cover every corner of this world.

Even though the various races of Rafam have lived here for hundreds of thousands of years, there are still many unknown places on the Rafam Continent today.

In this vast and mysterious continent of Rafam, besides the Hundred Races, there actually exist many rare and powerful entities.

Among them, the Four Great Divine Beasts are the most well-known inland, such as the Cyan Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger.

Then there’s also the Eight-Headed Serpent of the He Clan, which is a powerful Orochi, holding a status comparable to the Four Divine Beasts within the clan.

However, to this day, there are many legends about the Four Divine Beasts.

The Four Major Cities in the inland are even named after these Four Divine Beasts.

And the cultivation techniques practiced by the Four City Lords are all related to the Four Divine Beasts.

Yet in reality, no one has ever witnessed the true form of the Four Divine Beasts.

On the other hand, the Eight-Headed Serpent has taken on human form and remained active in the public eye as the Guardian God of the He Clan long before the Demon Race Invasion.

From what Lin Yi knows, there are also creatures like the Nine Heavens Python, Ying Long, Chimera, Nine Tails, and Three-Eyed Witch Child.

These entities share two common traits: 1. They are extremely powerful; 2. They are incredibly rare, sometimes existing as only a single entity.

Therefore, people rarely catch sight of these creatures.

Unlike the secluded Dragon Race, these formidable entities are more like myths.

Apart from a few well-known ones, most of them dwell in perilous terrains and treacherous waters.

The Dragon Race occasionally appears on the continent, but many of these peculiar races have already vanished in the river of history.

No one knows whether they are alive or dead, nor does anyone know if such beings truly exist in this world.

In later generations, some enthusiasts even categorize these creatures according to known power levels,

into the highest level of Divine Beasts and the next level of Holy Beasts.

The reason Lin Yi knows about these is that in later generations, there are official descriptions for each known species.

And below the official forums, many players contribute and organize additional information.

As a curious pastime, Lin Yi, like most people, would pay attention to it when he had nothing else to do.

Among this content: some are powerful bosses witnessed by someone firsthand, some have become top-level (Mythical Level) pets for players, some have become totems of certain races, and some are just legends from the mouths of indigenous people, diverse and varied.

Perhaps, to this day, the only peculiar species Lin Yi has actually seen with his own eyes is the terrifying three-headed Guardian Beast on the third floor of the Endless Tower.

In the Rafam Continent’s level system, those above level 80 are terrifying Demigod Level creatures, enough to claim a spot among the Holy Beasts.

In fact, Nightmare and Bai Ze are actually considered among the Holy Beasts.

However, these are all things Lin Yi redeemed from the mall, not native to this world’s original species, merely possessing their form but lacking the proper intellect and life, including the Elf Dragon.

Simply put, they are "items" created by the system, merely a set of virtual data.

Lin Yi could clearly feel this from the moment he summoned them.

Because the creatures summoned by Spirit Summoning Technique gave Lin Yi a completely different feeling.

Whether it was the Earth Dragon at the start or the Nine Nether Demon Wolf or the Nine Netherworld Tiger, Lin Yi could clearly feel their inherent emotions and wisdom.

Not to mention Aifula.

But these emotions representing life and wisdom were completely absent from the Elf Dragon and Nightmare.

That’s why Lin Yi rarely summons the Elf Dragon unless necessary.

In Lin Yi’s eyes, they are merely items granted by the system.

And what Lin Yi knows is that this world indeed harbors real Nightmares and Bai Zes.

Because in later generations, someone once glimpsed Bai Ze in the Holy City.

And Nightmare is the mount of one of the ten Demon Kings of the Abyss Demon Race.

The Elf Dragon belongs to one of the seven major races of the Dragon Race.

In terms of strength, adult Dragon Races are on par with Holy Beasts.

And the power of each Dragon God is no less than that of a Divine Beast, showcasing the Dragon Race’s might.

But now...

Lin Yi couldn’t have imagined that a species from legend would one day become his... Summoned Creature?

In the Spirit Summoning Array, a gigantic figure gradually took shape.

Its entire body was like jade, with scales emitting a gentle glow amidst the swirling snow, yet one would never doubt its powerful defensive capability.

Its head resembled an angry dragon, its gaze piercing as though glaring into one’s soul.

It had antlers like a deer, crisscrossing; its back like a moose; waist like a bear, tail like a cow.

Its four hooves were like horse hooves stepping on clouds, giving one the illusion of riding the clouds and mist.

Tianci and the others were utterly shocked, gasping as they beheld the creature emerging from the Teleportation Array.

"Am I fucking seeing things? Did I just see a... Qilin?!"

Zhan Chen muttered in disbelief to the side.

Lin Yi quickly opened the panel to check the summoned creature’s stats.

Just as everyone was deeply shocked by the image of the Jade Qilin before them, it suddenly turned its head to look at Lin Yi, and spoke in human language:

"Was it you, kid, who summoned me?"

Under the gaze of its colossal eyes like bronze bells, even though it was merely his summoned creature, Lin Yi subconsciously swallowed and said:

"Y-Yes, it should be me."

Tianci and the others were as shocked as if they had seen a ghost, exclaiming:

"Whoa, this guy can actually talk?"
