Chapter 163: The Most Unorthodox Action of the Year
Translator: 549690339
Seeing the Saber-toothed Tiger’s actions, Bai Qi and the others were somewhat surprised.
Although the level of Li Xusheng and Tang Miao was higher than that of Alpha, so far, Alpha dealt more damage to it.
Could it be choosing its enemies based on their levels?
Bai Qi and Wang Huai exchanged glances, but due to the Saber-toothed Tiger’s choice, Alpha and Gamma successfully rendezvoused. Gamma’s green body was attached to the surface of Alpha, like wearing a green armor,
Wilting Dragon Lord – Magic Immunity status!
Although they were temporarily unable to form wind attribute resistance, with the Saber-toothed Tiger’s frequent attacks, Bai Qi believed it was only a matter of time.
However, the Saber-toothed Tiger’s sneaky warfare in the wind was indeed very troublesome, all he could do was to hope that Alpha’s reaction speed was fast enough.
Sure enough, after driving back Li Xusheng and Tang Miao, the Saber-toothed Tiger disappeared again in the gale. Wang Huai seized the moment and pulled the two back.
“How are you two?”
Wang Huai looked at the two anxiously and immediately summoned a Flower Fairy to heal them.
“I’m fine, it seemed to have pulled its punches when the Saber-toothed Tiger attacked us, it didn’t use its full strength.”
“Pulled its punches?”
In response to this, Bai Qi was taken aback. Could the Saber-toothed Tiger be frail from losing too much blood?
Just as Bai Qi had this thought, he saw the Saber-toothed Tiger suddenly appear, and with one claw, it sent Alpha and Gamma flying out. The impact punched a huge hole in the wall.
Well, he thought too much.
Upon seeing this, Wang Huai immediately sent the Barrier Tree Man to back them up. he then advised Bai Qi, “Bai Qi, are you sure you don’t want to call your two beasts back first? For now, we’re at a disadvantage. It would be better for us to stay on the defensive.”
Bai Qi shook his head, “It’s fine, Alpha and Gamma can take quite a beating, they’ll be okay.”
Alpha’s core area is its skull, while Gamma, strictly speaking, does not have a core area, as long as it isn’t completely evaporated, it could survive.
However, the Saber-toothed Tiger’sattacks were truly double standards. It was gentle with Li Xusheng and Tang Miao, both Four Stage Beast Masters, but fought fiercely against Alpha and Gamma, both Third Stage creatures. It wasn’t supposed to be afraid of the hard and bully the weak like this.
Unless it saw that both were humans, so it withdrew?
Hmm?
Bai Qi’s eyebrows rose as he seemed to recall something.
“Schuck, do you have a video of the Saber-toothed Tiger attacking Li Xusheng and the others?”
“Yes.”
Schuck nodded, immediately projecting the video of the two being sent flying, and thoughtfully reduced the playback rate.
It was undeniable that the Saber-toothed Tiger’s attack speed was really fast. Even when slowed down by ten times, its movements were still very swift, almost appearing and then retreating back into the gale as soon as it was visible.
But that was sufficient.
Bai Qi worked on the keyboard, finally stopping the video at the moment the Saber-toothed Tiger was about to attack the two.
Although it was just a split second, a faint Rune Mark suddenly appeared on the Saber-toothed Tiger’s forehead when it was about to attack, then its strength weakened.
“I see, there is actually a protective mechanism in this training field. It should be restricting Ferocious Beasts from attacking humans.”
Upon seeing this, Wang Huai immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the protective mechanism was there, their safety shouldn’t be a problem. This way, even if they couldn’t pass the level, they could still bring out the data of the Saber-toothed Tiger.
“It should be about right.”
Bai Qi nodded in agreement with Wang Huai’s statement, but his eyes were still fixed on the Rune Mark on the Saber-toothed Tiger’s forehead.
He had a feeling he had seen this Rune Mark somewhere before but just couldn’t remember.
“Cough, Bai Qi, I think you should do something with your two beasts.”
Finally, Tang Miao couldn’t stand it anymore, he couldn’t help but remind as Bai Qj was striving to remember.
Even though the Barrier Tree Man and the serpents of the Baili Brothers were helping attack, the Saber-toothed Tiger seemed to be targeting these two, almost always aiming at Alpha each time it appeared.
Hearing this, Bai Qi looked over to find that the Saber-toothed Tiger seemed to be toying with Alpha, keeping it at bay, but it never managed to hit a vital spot.
Seeing this, Bai Qi had an idea and sent a message to Alpha.
Creak, creak.
Upon receiving the instruction, Alpha forcefully conjured an Ice Crystal Barrier between it and the Saber-toothed Tiger, creating a gap of Giant Strength. Then with a roll, it transformed into a crystal ball, with Alpha’s skull and Gamma encapsulated inside it.
The Saber-toothed Tiger seemed curious but didn’t stop. With a claw, it swatted at the ball, only to grunt suddenly. It flung the crystal ball away, and its claws began to bleed.
How did it suddenly get injured?
Wang Huai and the others looked at each other, clearly not understanding what had just happened.
However, upon seeing the Crystal Sphere slowly rolling back, Wang Huai and the others didn’t know how to react anymore.
This wasn’t a ball at all, it was clearly a spiked ball!
The smooth crystal shell was now covered in sharp spikes of varying lengths and constantly changing, and at the tips of these spikes, one could vaguely see a faint blue glow flickering.
You like to play with balls, don’t you? Well, here’s your wish. Let’s see if you dare.
Bai Qi’s face developed an evil grin, although his Withering Power could only be released externally, it could still flow within the crystal skeleton, just at a slower pace.
Anyway, they would never surpass the saber-toothed tiger in speed, so they might as well give up on the attack and wait for the enemy to come.
You won’t let me use my energy attack, then I’ll wait for you to come. With the Withering Power attached to the spikes, Bai Qi wasn’t worried about not being able to break through the defense.
A defensive counterattack, that’s the name of the game.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi simply let the Deadly Poison Aura open up and quietly lay there waiting for the saber-toothed tiger to come.
Seeing this, the saber-toothed tiger seemed to realize that this was a tough nut to crack, immediately targeting the other pets first. It found that the Barrier Tree Man and the others had been summoned back to the Beast Control Space, even pets like the Husky had been recalled.
“Bai Qi, isn’t this too risky?”
Standing defenseless in front of the saber-toothed tiger, at Bai Qi’s recommendation, Wang Huai and the others were somewhat panicked, the others likewise ready to summon their pets at any moment.
After all, they had all received various professional trainings, almost every strategy was the most effective method found out by countless people, but Bai Qi’s approach was somewhat unconventional.
“What else can we do? Do you expect us to win against a Fifth Stage Monarch Level Ancient Species?”
Bai Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes, according to the energy detector that Schuck had, the energy of the saber-toothed tiger was clearly in a state of severe deficit. Simply put, it was malnourished.
If this big cat is still like at the beginning, mindlessly venting its energy, they would have a chance to bleed it out slowly, draining the beast to its death.
But now, it clearly planned to play a guerilla war with them, and it was also in its King’s territory, so they could forget about a sneak attack, a frontal attack was also quite challenging, so a defensive attack was the best method.
As for them, rather than giving the saber-toothed tiger a chance to change targets and slowly drain their fighting power, it was better to take a gamble and make it, so the saber-toothed tiger had no choice but to attack.
Fortunately, Bai Qi had bet correctly.
After seeing that Bai Qi and the others were just standing there, the saber- toothed tiger immediately wanted to launch an attack But just as it was about to make a move, the rune appeared on its forehead again, forcibly stopping the aforementioned beast’s impending action.
There really is a limit!
Seeing that the saber-toothed tiger really couldn’t launch an attack on them, Wang Huai and the others let out a sigh of relief, but Li Xusheng cast a deep look at Bai Qi, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
Unable to attack Bai Qi and the others, the saber-toothed tiger could only turn its gaze to Alpha, only to find that Alpha had somehow enlarged its form again.
Accordingly, the number of bone spurs on its body had also increased quite a bit.
Seeing this, the saber-toothed tiger once again hid in the wild wind, constantly moving around Alpha, and the spikes on Alpha’s exterior were gradually adjusting their direction. As soon as the saber-toothed tiger appeared, the spikes at that end would instantly elongate.
The Saber-tooth tiger clearly didn’t want to wait any longer, it suddenly leaped out of the wind and launched an attack towards Alpha. Its sharp claws flashed with a jet-black light, clearly planning to clash head-on and destroy Alpha with one claw.
Then, just as the saber-toothed tiger was about to hit Alpha, the spikes on Alpha’s exterior suddenly grew rapidly, striking first and piercing the tiger’s palm.
Roar!
Under the pain, the saber-toothed tiger instinctively wanted to fling Alpha away, but Alpha had already predicted the big cat’s behavior. The moment the bone spurs were embedded in the saber-toothed tiger’s palm, they quickly spread and split towards the deeper parts of the tiger’s flesh, getting completely fixed on the beast’s paw while slowly injecting the Withering Power into it.
The saber-toothed tiger immediately sensed something odd, so it simply flung its paw on the ground, trying to directly smash Alpha, but at the moment when it came into contact with the ground, there was no sensation of resistance. It found that Gamma had somehow appeared and became a cushion.
However, facing the giant strength of the saber-toothed tiger, Gamma had reached its limit, and could burst at any moment.
But, it was also due to Gamma’s delay, that Alpha had an opportunity to expand the wound on the saber-toothed tiger, actually digging into it, and Gamma didn’t fall behind, following along Alpha’s bones directly into the forelimb of the saber-toothed tiger.
Faced with this attack from within, the saber-toothed tiger didn’t know how to react, it could only roll and scratch on the ground, but it couldn’t stop Alpha from moving slowly inside it.
Finally, after struggling for a while, the saber-toothed tiger’s movement suddenly stopped, its huge eyes turned blood red, and gradually fell silent.
Even as a monarch level creature, it could not survive when its brain was destroyed.
“Bai Qi, do all your association’s Beast Masters fight like this? Do you realize that you just killed a Monarch level Ferocious beast two ranks above your level?”
Staring blankly at Alpha and Gamma, these two Third Stage Lord creatures, Wang Huai felt somewhat baffled. They had actually killed a Fifth Stage Ancient Monarch Level Species.
Is this even something a normal person could do?
“I don’t know about the others, but probably not.”
Bai Qi shrugged, then pointed behind the two of them and said, “And, you don’t really think that Monarch level creatures are that weak, do you? It’s clearly being restricted, isn’t that right, Instructor Luo?!”
