Free Web NovelChapter 572: Chapter 232: Slaying the Withered Beast, Using the Cyan Jade Vortex_2
"Puchi!"
With a backward thrust, the sword pierced another Black Panther’s throat.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Yi Tian cleaved left and right, while Second Child continued to use the Spirit Sword Box to help relieve Yi Tian’s pressure.
Occasionally, a ferocious beast or two would break through the blockade of Yi Tian and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, but they’d be dispatched by a single wave of Sword Qi from Yi Tian.
The number of beasts was simply overwhelming. After fighting for a hundred seconds, Big Child retreated from the field.
A quarter of an hour later...
Yi Tian and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf had already slain several hundred ferocious beasts.
But the more they killed, the more appeared, as if there was no end.
All sorts of colored blood filled the underground with a pungent stench.
"Dripping Water Carves Stone!"
Yi Tian put away his blade and unleashed a Martial Skill.
Dozens of beasts with three-dimensional stats above 2000 were killed by Yi Tian.
"Dad, except for the four strongest ferocious beasts, all the others are gathering here. Let Fourth-Child and Fifth Child attack together!"
Second Child, following Yi Tian’s orders, observed the situation and shouted to Yi Tian.
"Got it!"
There were still over a thousand beasts here; letting Fourth Child and Fifth Child clear them in one wave should quickly end this phase of the battle.
Yi Tian had Third Child and Big Bear and Second Bear withdraw first.
Yi Tian and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf held the endless tide of beasts at bay.
"Dripping Water Carves Stone!"
Yi Tian once again spent Spiritual Power to release this Martial Skill.
The beasts at the very front were instantly slain.
At the same time, it allowed Yi Tian and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf to temporarily break free and retreat.
"Hoo!"
"Awooo!"
Fourth Child spat fire, Fifth Child rode the Water Dragon—one attacking left, the other right.
Divine Talent was indeed divine, leagues above Yi Tian’s Dripping Water Carves Stone.
Fifth Child rode the Water Dragon, sweeping across.
In this cramped space, the beasts had nowhere to retreat. Most were slammed into the walls.
With the boost from the Deep Sea Stone Lotus, Fifth Child’s Spiritual Power was overwhelming. Any beast struck by the Water Dragon died instantly. Especially those smashed into the stone walls—their organs, meridians, and bones were all shattered.
Fourth Child’s Seven-Colored True Flame didn’t have as large an area of effect as the Water Dragon, but was even more violent.
Any beast touched by the Seven-Colored True Flame would immediately be engulfed in flames.
Amidst their shrill screams, they turned to ash...
"Dripping Water Carves Stone!"
After Fourth Child and Fifth Child suffered Spiritual exhaustion, Yi Tian continued the attack.
"Awooo!"
The Howling Moon Silver Wolf also charged forward.
In less than a quarter hour, the battle was resolved.
"Forget about the Beast Cores for now, let’s head deeper."
Yi Tian saw Big Child holding the Celestial Halberd, imitating Yi Tian in retrieving Beast Cores, and immediately picked him up.
If they could take down the Withered Beast, these Beast Cores would mean nothing.
Second Child said that besides the Withered Beast, there were still four other ferocious beasts in the cave.
They should be an even stronger class of beasts.
At the end of the corridor, the path twisted and turned with many branching tunnels. Without Second Child’s guidance, they’d surely get lost.
The beasts just now had charged out from all these tunnels.
Navigating tunnel after tunnel, Yi Tian and the others were about to enter a larger space.
But at the entrance, four ferocious beasts blocked Yi Tian’s group, baring their fangs and ready to pounce at any second.
"Qilin Lion, status: Withered Beast Messenger. Strength 2890, Constitution 2892, Agility 2801. S-level Talent: Lion King. Activation: Lion King, three-dimensional enhancement +50%. Special Talent: Withered Beast Messenger, Attack Power +100%. Skill: Beastly Might LV.7."
The other three were also Qilin Lions, all with similar three-dimensional stats.
With over 14,000 Attack Power, they were even stronger than the Howling Moon Silver Wolf with talents activated. Apart from Seventh-Child, any of the five could be injured.
Not to mention, at this time, the Howling Moon Silver Wolf’s talent had already ended.
"Seventh-Child, protect your sisters!"
Yi Tian said to Seventh-Child, then activated Mountain Lifting and Cauldron Carrying, raised his sword, and charged forth.
He reserved his ranged attacks for the Withered Beast—no point wasting them on the Qilin Lions.
Yi Tian strode forward, and the Qilin Lion charged as well.
Yi Tian leaped, thrusting with Sword One, aiming straight for the head of a Qilin Lion.
"Puchi!"
The Qilin Lion’s scales were easily pierced by Yi Tian’s Xuanyuan Sword.
As Yi Tian drew his sword, the other two Qilin Lions lunged for him. One more circled around, charging toward Kiddo and the others.
With overwhelming Attack Power, Yi Tian cleaved and slashed, dispatching the two Qilin Lions.
He then used the Misty Step Technique to catch up with the last Qilin Lion, and with a swift sword strike, finished it.
He strode into the underground chamber.
No need to search. Three thousand meters away, atop the deepest stone platform, a monstrous beast was sprawled out.
Its ears were rabbit-like, but very broad and even longer in proportion. Its head looked just like a rat’s, but its whole body was covered in green fur, and it had a tail just like a rat’s as well. Its body wasn’t small—about as big as an ox—but on its back was a pair of membranous wings as thin as a cicada’s, very small, about the size of a palm fan from Earth.
The Withered Beast was just as ugly as Yi Tian had imagined!
At the same time, Yi Tian couldn’t help but wonder, "Hell, are those wings just for show? Can it even fly?"
"Ying ying..."
It raised its head and let out a cry at Yi Tian—sharp and piercing, sending chills down Yi Tian’s spine.
The Little Kiddos all covered their ears.
