But Mingxi remembered that Blue Rain Sunflower would not lose its original language ability after transforming into Lanlin Nightmare. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
So why couldn't this Lanlin Nightmare speak?
Mingxi looked at the miserable Lanlin Nightmare below, becoming even more certain of a thought in her mind.
She glanced again at the iron piece embedded in the tree trunk.
Because the iron piece was smoothly embedded deep into the tree trunk, Mingxi hadn't risked Little Silver Flower to retrieve it just now.
The closer one got to the Lanlin Nightmare, the heavier the influence of its domain, and direct contact would immediately result in the loss of all five senses, just like Qian Bingning and the others before.
Even if Little Silver Flower had strong resistance and Holy Light Guard could temporarily defend against the domain's erosion of its five senses, it definitely couldn't withstand direct contact with the Lanlin Nightmare's body.
So Mingxi could only proceed slowly.
She didn't believe that if she whittled the Lanlin Nightmare down to just a stump, it could still maintain its domain without dissipating!
"Continue."
Mingxi ignored the Lanlin Nightmare's mental pollution, her murderous intent in her eyes undiminished.
Although she could only attack from a distance, which was somewhat restrictive, they had many beasts and many long-range attack skills!
She wouldn't believe they couldn't blast the little thing to death!
As for energy consumption?
They had Little Silver Flower; a sunbath would take care of it.
After half an hour of such continuous bombardment and back-and-forth, the Lanlin Nightmare finally couldn't withstand the constant damage and consumption.
The dark, gloomy domain seemed to melt away, being swallowed inch by inch by the sunlight, until only a bare tree trunk remained on the land, along with broken branches, leaves, steel thorns, and those poor corpses scattered everywhere.
As the domain disappeared, the intense stench of blood and decay that had been enveloped within the domain space quickly dissipated with a 'boom'.
The smell was more putrid than a boiled cesspit, comparable to a biochemical weapon, definitely a nuclear explosion in the world of odors!
"Ugh."
"Blech."
Mingxi and the four of Yue Lingren couldn't help but retch.
The smell was simply too strong.
Normal humans definitely couldn't endure it; even Golden Yuanbao and the others couldn't help but contort their expressions.
Someone might ask why Yue Lingren and the others didn't have such a strong reaction when they were inside the domain before?
Thanks for asking.
Within the domain, their five senses were deluded; no matter how foul the smell, to their perception, it was fragrant.
"...Ugh..." Mingxi took the fragrant herb handed to her by Emerald Green to clear her senses, which had been disoriented by the stench.
She gestured to Golden Yuanbao and the others.
The group finally landed on the ground, standing a hundred meters directly in front of the bare Lanlin Nightmare.
Mingxi lifted her eyelids and complained with a look of disgust, "Do you know you smell like a zombie buried in a large septic tank for a thousand years?"
The Lanlin Nightmare's body, now just a tree trunk, visibly stiffened, as if it had suffered a tremendous blow.
Actually, it wasn't the corpses emitting the strong stench; Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land had only been open for a few days this time, so those people and Transcendent creatures, no matter how terribly they died, couldn't possibly smell like this.
The truly strong, rotten smell came from the Lanlin Nightmare itself.
Years of devouring the flesh and blood of Transcendent creatures and humans had made the smell of blood and decay on it increasingly heavy; the higher its level, the more foul the smell.
If the Lanlin Nightmare had a Beast Tamer, even the Beast Tamer would be tainted with the same putrid smell.
Therefore, very few normal Beast Tamers could accept Blue Rain Sunflower transforming into a Lanlin Nightmare, not only because of their bloodthirsty cruelty but also because of the unbearable smell.
"..."
Only the Lanlin Nightmare's heavy, breaking breath filled the air.
"Bright Crystal, Rock Claws."
The next second, 101 brave men rushed from all directions, surrounding the bare Lanlin Nightmare, making it feel like it was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
This time, the Rock Claws did not use their skills simultaneously but went up one after another, a scene that strongly resembled an ant trying to shake a giant tree.
"Young friend, this old man has mostly recovered. Do you need any help?"
Yue Lingren came over with a smile. He had also summoned several of his own pets by now, the most striking of which was the Venerable-level pet, Killing Gaze Maitreya, which exuded a terrifying pressure.
Killing Gaze Maitreya is a legendary Transcendent creature from Green Field Star, a combat type, similar in rarity to their country's Tianlian Chongming Wu.
Only families with ancient foundations like the Yue Ling Clan could allow their descendants the opportunity to contract such pets.
And Yue Lingren, who could contract Killing Gaze Maitreya and cultivate it to the Venerable-level, was undoubtedly a complete winner in life.
Mingxi looked at the old man; compared to the pale and frail appearance of Huang Huaqiang and the other two, like Lin Daiyu in the world, his condition was indeed enviably good.
As expected, the older ginger is spicier.
"Thank you, Blade Old, then I'll trouble you."
Mingxi wouldn't be so arrogant as to think she had already secured victory. Haven't countless people stumbled due to overconfidence, only to be counter-killed at the last moment?
Otherwise, where would idioms like 'turning the tables' or 'turning defeat into victory' come from?
Moreover, the Lanlin Nightmare's situation was special.
She didn't feel that it had completely lost its ability to counterattack; its current quiet, unresisting demeanor seemed more like it was looking for an opportunity to counter-kill.
That's why Mingxi didn't let Golden Yuanbao and the others get close but used 【Rock Claws】 to test and wear it down, and incidentally, try to get her hands on the black iron piece.
Now that Yue Lingren had voluntarily offered to help, she was naturally more than happy to accept.
Yue Lingren was slightly stunned.
He seemed not to have expected Mingxi to accept his suggestion so readily.
He had thought that geniuses like her were usually arrogant and wouldn't be willing for others to interfere in her battles.
It seemed this Xiao Guniang was not only exceptionally talented but also possessed an extraordinary character.
"Good child!" Yue Lingren's favorable impression of Mingxi increased significantly. Originally, he admired Mingxi because she saved him; now, it was more out of admiration for her as a person.
He raised his hand, his finger pressing slightly downward.
"Jiese, go deal with that Lanlin Nightmare."
Upon hearing that name, Mingxi almost spat ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) out a mouthful of water.
"Jie...Jie what?"
She looked in shock at the Killing Gaze Maitreya that had already rushed out.
Yue Lingren smiled, with a hint of mischievousness: "Jiese, isn't it very dashing?"
Dashing, huh.
Mingxi thought of a certain little bald monk hero.
"...It's quite unique."
At this moment, Killing Gaze Maitreya had quickly approached the Lanlin Nightmare, immediately unleashing the combat type's strongest Heaven-tier close-combat skill: Nine Consecutive Fatal Strikes!
Bright Crystal, also a combat type, watched with eyes that suddenly lit up.
"Boom boom boom! Crack crack crack! Bang bang bang!"
After a series of powerful hammer blows, Killing Gaze Maitreya did not stop attacking. After the consecutive strikes, he reversed his grip and embraced the thick waist of the large tree stump.
Then, with a move like pulling up a weeping willow!
"Boom!"
The roots of the Lanlin Nightmare, deeply embedded in the ground, were all pulled out.
Mud, broken stone, and dust flew everywhere.
