Chapter 584: Chapter 579: The Name of the Catastrophe
Seeing Gamma suddenly destroy the Bone Dragon Longsword, Bai Qi was also somewhat surprised.
With multiple buffs, the power of the Bone Dragon’s sword was impressive, especially the sudden Blood Blade from Li Xusheng at the end, which was unexpected.
Yet, Gamma easily defended against this attack using two area skills, which also took Bai Qi by surprise.
His pets seemed to be developing their skills better and better.
If he was not mistaken, in breaking the longsword, Gamma should have used the same method as before, using the collision of Holy Light and Evil Power to create an explosion.
Compared to the large-scale explosions from before, this explosion was much more restrained, but its destructive power was even stronger.
However, Bai Qi noticed that Gamma appeared to struggle a bit when triggering the two forms of energy.
“Was it because the level of the Formless Body and Twin Life Cycle weren’t high enough to withstand the pressure of dual fields?”
Bai Qi stroked his chin, Gamma’s original self-destruction was to let the two energies collide and cause an explosion, but now Gamma clearly guided the scope of the explosion, which put a higher demand on Gamma’s control.
“I’ll have to think of a solution.”
Bai Qi looked at Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha who were caught by Gamma’s split body, temporarily put the matter aside, and let Gamma restore the two people’s status.
The sword just now exerted great stress on Bai Qiucha’s spirit and Li Xusheng’s body, which must be treated as soon as possible.
“I didn’t expect that even when we teamed up, we couldn’t beat you. Bai Qi, you’re becoming even more of a freak.”
Bai Qiucha said while recovering her spirit power.
“It’s just luck, luck. It’s just that the attributes happened to counter each other.”
Bai Qi laughed. Although Gamma now had more offensive tactics, he still inclined towards defense.
Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha were both offensive Beast Masters, up against Gamma, an enemy who couldn’t be killed at once. They were indeed at a disadvantage.
“A failure is a failure, you don’t need to make excuses for us.”
Li Xusheng said: “But I will surpass you one day.”
“Okay~”
Seeing Li Xusheng’s fighting spirit, Bai Qi felt a bit helpless.
Clap! Clap! Clap! …
A series of applause came from the side, Huangfu Wujiu and Bai Tongchen walked over to the three of them, with smiles on their faces.
“A truly exciting fight, I can hardly equate you guys with Six Stage Beast Masters anymore.”
Bai Tongchen didn’t hold back his praise. Huangfu Wujiu gave a slight nod, obviously agreeing with Bai Tongchen’s words.
Apart from anything else, the performances of Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng had already surpassed most Six Stage Beast Masters, showing no signs of being novices.
One was a Soul Communicator who had given up the contract position and was destined to become a legendary beast, and now, had acquired a new spirit controller talent, with double enhancements.
The other was a Double Talent user with a Guardian bloodline who had integrated the power of all pets into his own body, possessing a powerful body and strength comparable to ferocious beasts, no weaker than Bai Qiucha.
Both of them focused either on spirit or body, and were geniuses who could excel in an era, but they were at a loss in their first cooperative fight.
The two looked at Bai Qi, stripping away all the leading titles like the Titled Legendary Disciple and the youngest patent researcher, only Bai Qi’s brilliant glow remained.
If previously Bai Qi was only seen as a freak with innate talent, but not necessarily with proper growth, now, Bai Qi had gained the qualification to astonish these legends.
Considering Bai Qi’s previous achievements of killing the Legendary Ferocious beast Thunder Leopard, the word ‘astonishing’ might even be an understatement.
Hearing Bai Tongchen’s praises, Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha were clearly embarrassed. Losing to Bai Qi two on one, they really felt undeserving of Bai Tongchen’s praise.
After all, they were both well aware that Alpha was always Bai Qi’s strongest pet.
“Bai Chuanqi, if you keep praising me like this, I might become arrogant.”
Bai Qi grinned sheepishly. He was quite satisfied with Gamma’s performance. While it was unclear how it would hold up against Alpha, it didn’t seem to have any problems taking down the ordinary Emperor creatures.
“Go ahead and be arrogant. Young people shouldn’t be low-spirited like the elderly, it’s too boring if you have no liveliness.”
Bai Tongchen waved his hand and said, “Don’t look at Huangfu now, he was quite wild when he was young.”
“Oh~”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. His gossiping soul was all fired up.
Huangfu Wujiu had always appeared to be a steady middle-aged man, and Bai Qi was curious to know what a reckless Huangfu Wujiu might look like.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. If anyone’s wild, it’s only you, Bai Tongchen.”
Huangfu Wujiu couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Bai Qi, he said, “Bai Qi, your six pets should be enhanced now, right? Why not give it a try together?”
“Test out Jie Ta’s skills?”
Bai Qi was stunned, looking at the exhausted Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha, he said, “But they can’t fight anymore, right?”
“No need, just use these Stealth Shadow Monkeys as targets.”
Huangfu Wujiu pointed towards the depths of the canyon. The place was a mess due to Bai Qi and his company’s battle, yet, the shadows cast by the chaotic rocks still showed evidence of countless Stealth Shadow Monkeys.
Although many had been annihilated in the residual battle waves by Li Xusheng, the numbers of Stealth Shadow Monkeys were plentiful and they showed no signs of abandoning the location.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but rather they were too afraid to detach from the shadows now.
“Annihilate the Stealth Shadow Monkeys? This seems quite fitting for Jie Ta.”
Bai Qi slightly nodded, summoning Jie Ta.
Hulu Hulu?
(Master, do you need me for something?)
Jie Ta was seen holding an ice bowl in one hand and a pestle in the other, evidently in the middle of grinding herbs.
“No biggie, just calling you to test a new move.”
Bai Qi pointed towards the canyon ahead, saying, “These Stealth Evasion Monkeys are really nimble. They can breed quickly if even one escapes. Try to see if you can wipe them all out at once.”
Hulu Hulu!
(Let me try!)
Jie Ta nodded his head and hovered in front of the canyon. At this point, Huangfu Wujiu and the others had retreated from the valley.
The Stealth Shadow Monkeys caught wind of something amiss, peeking their heads out from the shadows to observe the situation, but they dare not leave the protection of the canyon.
Beyond this area was flat wilderness, giving no room for their shadows to exist. If they left, their ability would become significantly hindered.
While the Stealth Shadow Monkeys wrestled with this dilemma, Jie Ta had already flown overhead and began a slow descent.
Simultaneously, the earth-colored mark on Jie Ta’s chest flickered as his body gradually became enveloped in rock. By the time Jie Ta landed, he had transformed into an Earth Elemental.
High-grade King – Rock Child.
Having become the Rock Child, Jie Ta seemed to become more behaved. Not rushing to attack, he closed his eyes and silently tuned his senses.
With the power of the Earth’s Heart, Jie Ta had the ability to sense through rocks. It wasn’t too challenging to locate all the Stealth Shadow Monkeys in hiding.
“Indeed, the earth element truly is more reliable than fire or water.”
Seeing Jie Ta in his current form, Bai Qi was very satisfied.
The fire element was volatile and the water element was changing. Both elements heavily influenced Jie Ta’s mood swings. But with the earth element, Jie Ta’s mood had obviously stabilized, even his character became settled.
Just then, Bai Qi felt a sudden tremor under his feet, the earth shook then quickly steadied.
Shortly after, the earth shook again then returned to calm.
This cycle repeated more and more frequently.
“Is that, an earthquake?”
Bai Qi reacted with surprise, abruptly turning his gaze to Jie Ta.
This couldn’t possibly be Jie Ta’s doing, could it?
Just as this thought was born, the earth around the canyon split apart, isolating the hidden location of the Stealth Shadow Monkeys from the surrounding contact area.
Transcendent Skill – Earthquake.
Swiftly spreading through the ground, the imperceptible fluctuations easily tore the earth apart. Even the cliffs surrounding the canyon began to crumble.
But at this moment, the fire rune shone in the middle of Jie Ta’s brow. Cracks appeared on his sturdy rock body, revealing traces of magma trickling underneath.
High-grade King – Magma Child.
Jie Ta, upon transforming into the Magma Child, resumed his occasional jovial demeanor, unlike his alternate Fire Naughty Child personality. He struck the ground with both hands, lifting the isolated Stealth Shadow Monkey settlement like a hill.
Simultaneously, the previous cracks filled with magma that slowly trickled into the monkeys’ dwelling area.
Eventually, the habitation area of the Stealth Shadow Monkeys gradually morphed into what appeared to be a small volcano.
Boom!!!
A muffled explosion echoed into Bai Qi and the others’ ears, followed by a column of magma erupting skywards, showering falling rocks all around. The sight caused the group to instinctively step back a few paces.
Transcendent – Volcanic Eruption!
At the impact of the erupting volcano, some Stealth Shadow Monkeys that failed to dodge in time lost their lives on the spot. Yet, some took advantage of the shadows created by the flying debris and tried to run towards the canyon exit.
However, Jie Ta clearly had no intention of letting them go. As the water flow rune flickered, his molten body abruptly cooled. His sturdy body softened as he eerily began transforming into a marshy state.
Soon, the earth surrounding Jie Ta started to moisten, slowly turning into a mudslide that flowed towards the canyon.
Poor Stealth Shadow Monkeys. They braced themselves for a fight to the death but could only be squashed back by the enormous mudslide. Some fell into the magma, others into the volcano, while some got engulfed by the mudslide.
In a flash, the Stealth Shadow Monkeys that used to be a headache to extermination squads were buried alive by Jie Ta.
“Earthquake… Volcanic eruption… Mudslide… and the hailstorm and tsunami you demonstrated before, this pet of yours, Bai Qi, is like a walking natural disaster!”
