If it weren't for my Pet Space being sealed and the pet I brought in being Black Pearl, the weakest of all fighter jets...
Mingxi would have directly shown off her Pet Space and used her hard power to 'convince' this individualistic big shrimp.
"Let me put it this way: if you don't listen to my command, with your and that Scyther General's strength, you will definitely lose to the opponent, and you might even die at their hands.
But if you listen to me, there's at least a 30% chance of winning.
So, do you want to choose the 100% loss or the 30% chance of winning?"
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp narrowed its mung bean eyes (in terms of body proportion) and eyed Mingxi up and down, with the expression of a matchmaker picking out a cabbage for her son to 'arch'.
Picky, disdainful, distrustful.
Mingxi: =_=
Sigh, her own little ones are so much cuter, smarter, and well-behaved.
"As!"
Feeling her emotions, Black Pearl, isolated outside the circular hall, continuously slapped the invisible energy wall with her tail, echoing her master's inner praise for herself.
Mingxi thought for a moment, then, facing the Iron Arm Gun Shrimp, who had also noticed Black Pearl, she said in a very casual and natural tone: "She is my weakest pet, only one year old, Shi-level in strength, but under my command, she can easily beat a King-level creature."
This was not boasting.
It was a fact.
Though a bit goofy, Black Pearl never joked about her strength.
Her weakness was only limited by her age.
It had nothing to do with anything else.
Black Pearl, who could also hear Mingxi's voice, was very cooperative, displaying her double biceps, double latissimus dorsi, and side chest...
ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ
What a bodybuilding fish.
When Iron Arm Gun Shrimp first heard Mingxi's understated introduction, it was stunned.
A one-year-old Shi-level Transcendent creature?
And easily beating a King-level creature?
Is it real or fake?
And when Iron Arm Gun Shrimp saw Black Pearl's various posing actions: ...
It must be fake! How could that pet, which clearly lacks intelligence, possibly beat a King-level creature?!
"Iron Arm!" It firmly disbelieved.
Mingxi magically 'understood' again.
Mingxi: "..."
Black Pearl, having you is my blessing.
A stubborn shrimp meets a funny fish; is this sent by the heavens to deliberately make things difficult for me, Xiao Xi?
This trial space must be intentional.
Maintain a smile.
(◡ ω ◡)
"Big shrimp, self-deception is not good, you know. Facts speak louder than words."
Transcendent creatures are not humans; if they wanted to, they could completely ascertain the opponent's strength and exact birth age through mental fluctuations.
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp: "..."
Then how are you going to prove that such a silly pet can easily beat a King-level creature?
Anyway... it just didn't believe it.
However...
It glanced at the aggressive Scyther General opposite, sensing its sharp and terrifying battle intent even through the thick energy wall.
This human was not wrong; relying on itself, it would undoubtedly lose.
Forget it, it actually had no choice.
Let's gamble; maybe Iron Arm Gun Shrimp can truly become Iron Arm Atom!
I'll risk it!
For the sake of the good taste of the energy supplement potion this woman brought out!
"Iron Arm, Iron Arm."
I accept, but you must help me kill it!
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp, worried she wouldn't understand, even used its pincer to swipe across its own neck, making a beheading gesture.
Mingxi, with full comprehension ability, raised an eyebrow.
So fierce?!
It seemed these two Transcendent creatures either had a mortal feud or an interest entanglement.
This was good too.
Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief; if this stubborn shrimp had remained unyielding and completely ignored her commands, then their chances of failure, if not 100%, would have been at least ten out of ten.
"I can only promise to create an opportunity for you; as for the rest, it's up to you."
"Iron Arm!"
Okay!
"Long live understanding, happy cooperation!"
Mingxi and Iron Arm Gun Shrimp clapped their large pincers, and the two sides finally reached a cooperation agreement just before the three-minute countdown ended.
"Later, each of my commands will give you half a second of reaction time, allowing you to gradually adapt to the Beast Tamers' command-style combat, so you don't have to worry about making mistakes."
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp was not like Golden Yuanbao and the others; it was clearly a wild Transcendent creature and already had its own combat mode.
Therefore, it was impossible for it to quickly switch to Beast Tamers' command-style combat.
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp wiggled its antennae upon hearing this.
This human girl actually seemed to have some capability?
Let's see. freёweɓnovel.com
"Iron Arm." freeweɓnovel.cøm
The moment the countdown hit zero, the /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ impatient Scyther General opposite shot out like a cannonball, its twin blades glinting coldly, heading straight for Iron Arm Gun Shrimp!
"Water Gun!" Mingxi immediately commanded.
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp possessed the 【Super Launch】 characteristic, which could enhance the slowing effect of Water Gun.
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp hesitated for a moment before raising its pincer, spraying foam, but its aim was slightly off. Scyther General slid sideways, easily evading, and its steel blade slashed down directly!
Mingxi had naturally anticipated the possibility of evasion, so she had already issued the second command before Scyther General's steel blade struck.
"Hold Fast."
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp hastily erected a barrier.
"Clang!" With a harsh clash, Scyther General's steel blade fiercely struck the defensive barrier, and the recoil made it stagger backward.
Mingxi assessed the proficiency of both sides' skills.
Her eyes were extremely focused: "Concentrate attack, Steel Claw Combo."
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp reacted slightly faster this time, its steel pincers gleaming with a metallic luster as it slammed them violently towards Scyther General's right blade—
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three precise hits on the same spot!
A crack appeared on Scyther General's right blade.
It was unclear if Iron Arm Shrimp's pincer did it on purpose, but the crack was remarkably similar to the previous injury on its own right pincer.
Although Scyther General was injured before its campaign even began, its ferocity did not diminish; it suddenly surged forward, crossing its twin blades, and unleashed the high-level fighting-type skill, Cross Chop!
Mingxi remained calm and composed, giving a steady command: "Jump up, use Water Gun."
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp instinctively jumped backward, using the recoil of the Water Gun to launch itself into the air, a high-pressure water jet shooting straight at Scyther General's face!
"Boom!"
Under the Impact of the water jet, Scyther General swayed a few times and was forced backward, and its Cross Chop consequently came to an end without effect.
Iron Arm Gun Shrimp landed steadily, its pincers trembling slightly.
Although it performed well, it was actually quite nervous.
It turned its head to look at Mingxi, a hint of surprise in its eyes—this human, could she really command it to win?
Today was not its first battle with this Scyther General.
It and Scyther General lived in the same area, and because both needed metal resources to improve their strength, conflicts inevitably arose whenever they simultaneously discovered new resources.
And each time, it would lose due to slightly inferior strength.
Not only did it fail to win in resource competition, but it would also be injured to the point of being unable to move for half a month.
Today, they once again discovered a metal mineral deposit one after the other, and it was even the most precious metal in the world, Life Origin Gold!
