Chapter 157: Is This A Slime Monster?
Translator: 549690339
Just as he was finished speaking, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently.
“The big one is coming!”
Wang Huai’s face changed, the Barrier Tree Man immediately grabbed Bai Qi and the others, putting them on his body for protection, while Li Xusheng leaped high into the air, his dual hammers crashing heavily onto the ground.
Boom!
A series of dark red lightning bolts, like spider webs, followed the dual hammers into the ground. The earth within several dozen meters was instantly pulverized, and simultaneously, a huge Sawtooth Earthworm with a golden ring wrapped around its neck drilled out from beneath the ground.
[Name]: Sawtooth Earthworm King
[Nature]: Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[ Introduction]: The king among the Sawtooth Earth Mounds, with a golden ring on its neck and extremely powerful vitality.
“This is the real deal…”
Seeing the Sawtooth Earthworm King appear, Wang Huai and the others unanimously showed a smile on their faces. Li Xusheng was even more filled with murderous intent, swinging his giant hammer and charging towards the Sawtooth Earthworm King.
“Desert, Sea of Starlight, you cover for Xusheng. Tang Miao, you attack freely, and I’ll cover for you.”
Wang Huai patted the Barrier Tree Man, and immediately several green auras were cast on their pets, drastically increasing their attack power and speed.
[ Skill Name]: Vitality Aura
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Introduction]: An aura type skill that temporarily increases a pet’s vitality, enhancing its speed and attack power.
Benefiting from the boost of the Vitality Aura, Li Xusheng’s movements conspicuously changed. He nimbly dodged the acid sprayed out by the Sawtooth Earthworm King, quickly approached it, and launched a torrential attack with his giant hammer.
With the swinging of Li Xusheng’s dual hammers, blood-red lightning was continuously moving on the Sawtooth Earthworm King, with every attack ripping off a piece of flesh.
But the Sawtooth Earthworm King didn’t care about Li Xusheng’s attacks. With the golden ring on its neck flashing, the wounds almost healed at a visible rate. Conversely, it was Li Xusheng whose attacking rhythm was disrupted by the strong acid blood sprayed from the wound.
Seeing this, Li Xusheng slightly furrowed his brows, consciously keeping a distance from the Sawtooth Earthworm King, and again summoned a beast.
[Name]: Electric Fur Rat
[Nature]: Beast System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Growth Level]: Third Stage Eighth level
[Introduction]: A rat-type pet, quick as lightning, covered with electricity, highly difficult to catch.
As soon as the Electric Fur Rat appeared, it darted towards Li Xusheng and then entered his body, transforming into a pair of boots on his feet.
“Simultaneously merging with two beasts?”
Bai Qi’s eyebrows twitched at this sight. Generally, Fusion-Talent Beastmasters only chose to merge with one pet.
It wasn’t about having an upper limit for merging, but merging with two or more beasts at once would put immense pressure on the Beast Master’s soul. In severe cases, it might leave unhealable spirit injuries.
“Don’t worry, Xusheng’s physique is special. Merging with two beasts is not a problem for him.”
Seeing Bai Qi’s appearance, Wang Huai immediately provided an explanation. Bai Qi also recalled the strangeness of the Evolution Egg the first time he met Li Xusheng.
Was it due to his mixed heritage?
After merging with the Electric Fur Rat, Li Xusheng’s speed surged yet again, completely ignoring the acid splattering around and quickly riddling the Sawtooth Earthworm King with countless bloody holes.
However, no matter how Li Xusheng attacked, the Sawtooth Earthworm King could quickly heal its wounds. Conversely, the surrounding ground was corroded by the strong acid blood of the earthworm, resulting in a pitted and uneven surface, with almost no place to stand.
Seeing this, a glint of blood flashed in Li Xusheng’s eyes as if he was about to do something. But he was immediately stopped by Wang Huai, who sternly said, “Xusheng, don’t act rashly!”
Li Xusheng paused, abiding by Wang Huai’s command. He was about to continue his attack but noticed Sawtooth Earthworms slowly emerging from the surrounding acid.
Looking at these Sawtooth Earthworms that sprung up from nowhere, Bai Qi glanced thoughtfully at the still-active flesh that Li Xusheng had smashed on the Sawtooth Earthworm King and made a judgment.
“Split? ”
[Skill Name]: Split
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Introduction]: Can consume energy to split sub-bodies. The sub-bodies possess part of the main body’s energy, their strength is determined by the energy value given at the time of splitting.
“It should be the Split skill.”
Wang Huai nodded, saying, “Change tactics. Tang Miao, you concentrate on dealing with the Sawtooth Earthworms. Desert, Sea of Starlight, you are responsible for eliminating those pieces of flesh that haven’t yet changed into new Sawtooth Earthworms. This place is very conducive to their growth. We can’t afford to engage in a war of attrition with them.”
“Xusheng, continue normal attacks.”
“Copy.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao immediately snapped his fingers, and the Sky- Attacking Mantis began to move at full speed, turning into a phantom that constantly moved among the many split bodies. The Balli Brothers, on the other hand, silently eliminated the pieces of flesh that hadn’t yet transformed into new Sawtooth Earthworms.
Although the Sawtooth Earthworm King didn’t have many attacking skills, its vitality was terrifyingly strong. No matter how Li Xusheng attacked, he still couldn’t kill it completely.
“Damn it, the Emperor’s Secret Realm is greatly advantaging them, this can’t go on like this.”
Wang Huai clenched his teeth in frustration. He originally wanted to save energy for training, but it seemed that there was no room for holding back.
“Xusheng, prepare…”
Before Wang Huai could finish his sentence, he saw Bai Qi summon a Slime and immediately kicked it toward the ground below.
“Be careful, the corrosive nature of the acid is strong!”
Seeing Bai Qi act so rashly, Wang Huai immediately tried to stop him, only to find that the Slime, which should have been entirely corroded by the acid, was merrily swimming in the acid without being corroded at all.
“Is this, a Slime?”
Wang Huai felt as though his knowledge was refreshed. He turned his curious eyes upon Bai Qi.
“You could say so, it just grew resistance because it soaked a lot before.”
Bai Qi shrugged and said, “Captain Wang, keep your team members away from my pets, or they might get accidentally injured.”
“Alright.”
Wang Huai nodded and immediately signaled Li Xusheng and others to step back. Receiving the instructions, Alpha grabbed Gamma, who was still bathing, and directly stuffed it into his empty chest cavity.
At the same time, a dark green aura slowly spread around. Both Li Xusheng and the Sawtooth Earthworm sensed something strange and quickly retreated.
Wilting Dragon Lord – Highly Toxic Warrior, at your service!
“A Deadly Poison Aura?”
Seeing the Slime use a field-type technique, Wang Huai was increasingly surprised.
Firstly, it had a resistance to corrosion, following with a Deadly Poison Aura technique, if he wasn’t certain Bai Qi had just arrived at Emperor’s Secret Realm today, and the monsters here appeared randomly, Wang Huai would have suspected that Bai Qi was dispatched by the top personnel to specifically deal with the Sawtooth Earthworm.
Just as Wang Huai was surprised, Alpha had already launched an attack on the Sawtooth Earthworm. Each swing of the long sword imbued with Withering Power took away a large chunk of flesh, which barely landed before completely losing the sense of life.
On the other hand, the Sawtooth Earthworm King, due to the Deadly Poison Aura, saw a marked slowdown in the regeneration of its flesh and naturally wanted to get away from Alpha.
However, the Sawtooth Earthworm King’s body was too massive to escape Alpha’s entanglement. All of a sudden, a large mouth appeared on the body of the Sawtooth Earthworm King, revealing dense poisonous teeth, and bit towards Alpha.
“Be careful!”
Seeing this, Wang Huai immediately instructed the Barrier Tree Man to pull Alpha away. However, he saw that Alpha directly pulled Gamma out from his body and threw it towards the Sawtooth Earthworm King.
Has he gone mad?
Seeing that Gamma was about to be swallowed up by the Sawtooth Earthworm King, Wang Huai and others were taken aback. Just when they were planning to offer support, Alpha swung Gravity and jabbed against the Sawtooth Earthworm King several times, the earthworm king immediately fell to the ground and was unable to move.
Gravity Amplification.
The already large-bodied Sawtooth Earthworm King was completely unable to react under the amplified gravity. Numerous large mouths immediately appeared all over its body, continuously spewing acid at Alpha. However, it was blocked by Gamma, who suddenly expanded its body, and was completely enveloped by Gamma afterward.
Roar!
The enveloped Sawtooth Earthworm King began to bite Gamma from inside, but the seemingly jelly-like weak body of Gamma showed no signs of damage under its teeth. On the contrary, it itself became increasingly weak, gradually losing the strength to attack.
Is this a f***ing Slime?!
Seeing that the seemingly endless life force Sawtooth Earthworm king was gradually reduced to dry meat by Gamma, Wang Huai and others exchanged surprised glances, not knowing how to evaluate the situation.
Wang Huai was silent for a long time. Looking at Gamma, which was becoming brighter due to the absorption of massive energy, he said, “I suddenly realized why he managed to decode the Secret Realm Tower before Xusheng…”
Given the level of this Slime, it should be Bai Qi’s third pet, but it also has such a powerful ability. Naturally, Alpha, as the main pet, wouldn’t be weak.
The Baili brothers routinely expressed their approval, while the eyes of Tang Miao once again turned into the shape of hearts.
“Bai Qi, where did you catch this Slime? I also want one!”
Bai Qi scratched his head and said, “I don’t know where to find them. I picked up Gamma…”
Tang Miao:
While they were chatting casually, Gamma finally completely absorbed the energy of Sawtooth Earthworm King, turning it into a pile of dried up flesh, only the gold ring around its neck remained.
Chomp, gulp…
(Master, Gamma is full and wants to sleep…)
Having said that, Gamma immediately fell asleep.
Seeing Gamma like this, Bai Qi wasn’t surprised. Gamma’s energy absorption also had a limit. If it didn’t use up the energy, it had to digest it through deep sleep.
In return, Gamma would assimilate some of the energy completely for its own use. That was why Gamma had such an unusually high energy value.
It was for this reason that Bai Qi went to great lengths to have Alpha trap the Sawtooth Earthworm King. Otherwise, a full output of Withering Power would have made the division and self-repair a joke.
Of course, there was another reason.
“Alpha, bring the part around the gold ring over.”
