Chapter 580: Chapter 575: Berserkers Play Sneak Attacks?
Bai Tongchen’s enthusiasm left Bai Qi somewhat helpless, but Huangfu Wujiu and Uffie didn’t oppose it.
Bai Qi’s pet lineup was rather mixed. At first, the pets themselves didn’t have any noticeable weaknesses. If he could contract a pet with the ability to merge with the body like the Fighting God Ape, it would greatly help ensure Bai Qi’s safety.
After all, given Bai Qi’s current experiences, similar incidents would definitely not be in short supply in the future. Although there was the protection of the World Will Gaia, there were certainly possibilities for some accidents.
Therefore, it was indeed a good idea to use a pet of this type.
Soon, Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng finished their treatment, and Huangfu Wujiu and Bai Tongchen took the three of them to the gathering point of Stealth Shadow Monkeys.
The gathering points of ferocious beasts between the third and fourth walls had basically been added to the scheduled extermination calendar of the army stationed in the barren desert, and the most troubling to them was this gathering place of Stealth Shadow Monkeys.
It was not because there were powerful Emperor Beasts guarding this area, but these Stealth Shadow Monkeys were extremely good at hiding, and coupled with their fast breeding speed, if they could not be destroyed in one go, they could easily resurface in other places.
Therefore, the military didn’t send people to clear up here temporarily, and the Stealth Shadow Monkeys were living here in utter joy.
However, these happy days were soon to end.
Five figures fell from the sky and landed in the canyon filled with a mixture of lights and shadows. The Stealth Shadow Monkeys that were originally playing hid in nearby shadows as soon as they could.
As their names suggested, Stealth Shadow Monkeys could move freely in shadows. They looked cute, but if they encountered a lone human, they would attack without hesitation.
However, correspondingly, once they encountered stronger beings, they would smartly hide away and refrain from showing themselves.
“All three of you are now Six Stage Beast Masters. Although Bai Qi was promoted for longer, considering the special characteristics of the pets of Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng, I won’t put any restrictions.”
Huangfu Wujiu looked at Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng and said, “The two of you, who will go to challenge first?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xusheng immediately summoned the fusion of his six pets and jumped directly into the center of the canyon.
“It seems that we don’t need to ask.”
Bai Tongchen laughed upon seeing this, patted Bai Qiucha’s shoulder, and said, “Then you prepare well, ah Cha.”
“Yes.”
Bai Qiucha nodded and summoned the Bone Dragon, silently watching Li Xusheng in the field.
Both of them were promoted to Six Stage at the same time and were deliberately assigned together for the extermination task, so they have a basic understanding of each other’s strengths.
But as for who was weaker or stronger, none of them dared to claim.
After all, since their acquaintance, it seemed that they had not been able to finish their fights against each other.
“With this form, saying he is a ferocious beast could be believed.”
Looking at Li Xusheng with a blood-red tail swinging behind him and his body filled with a brutish aura, Bai Qi couldn’t consider him a human no matter how hard he tried.
On his way here, he learned that the sixth pet contracted by Li Xusheng was also an Emperor-level creature and was a direct descendant of the Eternal Night Blood Emperor. The contract between them could be said to be mutually beneficial.
However, it was better this way. The stronger Li Xusheng was, the better he could test the effect of Gamma’s evolution.
Bai Qi snapped his fingers, and an Array flickered before him. A figure about half a meter tall appeared in front of Bai Qi.
“Gamma, try your new ability well.”
After a night of crazy absorption, Gamma’s size had increased a lot, but it was still only half a person tall. From far away, it seemed like a young angel new to the world.
Ka pu ka pu!
(Yes, yes, Gamma also wants to see what the new abilities are like!)
“That is… Gamma? How did it become like this?”
Bai Qiucha became somewhat puzzled when she saw this. She couldn’t connect Gamma to the human-like creature before her eyes.
“Bai Qi’s harvest in the Earth Elemental Realm is quite big, and the biggest must be this slime.”
Bai Tongchen glanced at the Bone Dragon and said, “Your Bone Dragon may already be at its peak now, but it doesn’t have much of an advantage against this pet of Bai Qi’s. Don’t underestimate it.”
“I understand.”
Bai Qiucha nodded. Bai Qi’s pets were all special, and they would definitely not work if judged by common standards.
“Yeah, let’s watch the fight first. I also want to see how much sparks you young people can create.”
Bai Tongchen smiled, then looked at Bai Qi and Li Xusheng.
Huangfu Wujiu walked to the center of the two, glanced around, and said, “We strive to keep this battle realistic, so you don’t need to hold back your strength. If there are lethal attacks, we will stop you. Do you understand?”
“Understood.”
Bai Qi nodded and Li Xusheng’s aura became even more brutish.
“Then, let the competition begin.”
Huangfu Wujiu quietly moved away, and Li Xusheng launched his offensive immediately.
Even though he advanced to the sixth level, Li Xusheng’s method of fighting didn’t change much. The moment Huangfu Wujiu announced the start, he actively moved closer to Gamma.
This time, Li Xusheng’s weapons were not only his dual hammers but also the six blood tails behind him.
The instant Li Xusheng lunged forward, these six blood tails underwent a transformation.
Two of them manifested as wings and with a slight flap, Li Xusheng’s speed increased to the point where he closed the gap between him and Gamma instantaneously, while two other tails morphed into blood blades, attacking Gamma first.
The blood in these six tails came entirely from Li Xusheng’s six pets, therefore naturally carrying some of their attributes. Even though the blood blades seemed identical, they radiated completely different auras.
Seeing this, Gamma didn’t dodge. He extended his hands and two blades wrapped in green flames appeared in them. With a light swing, Li Xusheng’s blood blades were shattered.
The Doomsday Blades.
Seeing that Gamma chose not to use his usual defensive counterattack tactic, Li Xusheng was obviously surprised, especially the introduction of the Doomsday Blade—it set off alarms for him.
Nevertheless, Li Xusheng didn’t back down. He spun and slammed a hammer onto the ground.
Instantly, the ground split apart, and fragments of rocks, forced by a powerful blast, flew towards Gamma like bullets.
Seeing this, Gamma didn’t dodge, allowing the fragments to strike him without causing any damage.
Under the protection of physical immunity, conventional physical attacks couldn’t harm Gamma, not to mention ordinary rocks.
Seeing this, a flash of brilliance crossed Li Xusheng’s eyes. He swung his hammer again, causing the debris to obstruct Gamma’s vision.
Then, without waiting for these fragments to hit Gamma, Li Xusheng suddenly burst out from the other side, slamming his hammer, wrapped in blood-thunder, hard toward Gamma.
Clang!
This time, Gamma didn’t passively withstand the assault. He swung the Doomsday Blade to block it.
The blood-thunder ran rampant, trying to spread along the blade toward Gamma, but it was corroded in reverse when it encountered the green flame on the blade and involuntarily shrank back into the hammer.
The Doomsday Blade—a concentration of the essence of evil power—clearly outmatched Li Xusheng’s blood-thunder in terms of aggression.
However, at that moment, two blood-tails, solidified into spears, suddenly emerged from behind Gamma, aimed straight at the rune on his chest.
This was seemingly the only vulnerable point on Gamma, thus from the beginning, Li Xusheng’s target was this rune.
Zizz…
Just when the blood spears were about to hit Gamma, white lightning suddenly erupted from his body, not only blocking the ambush of the blood spears but also assimilating part of them.
“That the two conflicting properties, Holy Light and Evil Power, could mesh so well without any rejection is miraculous,” Huangfu Wujiu nodded slightly. It was rare to have a beast possessing two conflicting properties and using them both without interference, like Gamma.
“Actually, they can’t be said to be in complete conflict. In essence, corrosion and assimilation are one and the same.”
Bai Tongchen said, “But indeed, the combination of the two attributes is quite powerful. When this beast advances to legendary status, it will probably be harder to deal with.”
“Indeed, but for the Federation, it’s absolute good news.”
Huangfu Wujiu smirked. If they found it a bit challenging to deal with, it would certainly cause more headaches for the tribes.
Also aware of Gamma’s attribute advantage was Li Xusheng. Seeing his blood-thunder and blood spears completely defeated, Li Xusheng immediately reined in his attacks, drew all power into his body, causing his muscles to bulge rapidly. Even his dual hammers grew larger.
Next, Li Xusheng swung his dual hammers, like a rampaging mammoth, wildly hammering Gamma.
Li Xusheng was swinging wide, and there were hardly any intricate maneuvers, but with the terrifying strength he possessed, every swing created a gale strong enough to crack the cliffs surrounding the canyon.
It could be imagined what it would be like to be hit by the hammers directly.
However, facing up to Li Xusheng’s violent attack, Gamma showcased his typical style, standing his ground, swinging the Doomsday Blades continuously to ward off Li Xusheng’s attacks. Not only did he not back down, but even the ground under his feet remained unscathed.
Li Xusheng’s hammer blows were endowed with both physical and energy attributes, but Gamma similarly possessed elemental and physical dual immunity. Along with the effects of the Formless Body, Gamma was able to withstand Li Xusheng’s attacks forcefully.
“Even though the combat style has changed, that abnormally strong defense is still there.”
Bai Qiucha nodded subtly, took note of this fact, and was also somewhat puzzled by the tactics Li Xusheng chose.
Li Xusheng’s strength definitely reached beyond this. Attacks with no strategy were certainly insufficient to defeat Gamma.
At that moment, Li Xusheng finally made a change. His six blood-tails wrapped around him, forming a blood armor and gradually extended to cover his hammers.
In an instant, Li Xusheng’s power soared once more and he swept away Gamma’s blade, striking directly at Gamma’s head.
Seeing this, Gamma immediately side-stepped to dodge, swinging his blade to launch a counterattack.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Li Xusheng opened his mouth and spat out a line of blood. It directly broke through the Judgement Thunder on Gamma’s body and targeted the rune on Gamma’s chest.
“Damn it, since when did berserkers start launching surprise attacks?”
