Chapter 855 Secretly Mastered
Chapter 855: Secretly Mastered
Originally, the coyote brothers complained about the shameless behavior of their many colleagues who didn't hesitate to take advantage of their plans.
But as they took a closer look, they found that the little Reaper Mantis seemed to resemble a fish swimming in the sea. She happily flew up and down among the cyclones, meteors, and magma as if it was nothing but a fun game, which soured their moods.
Damn it, so much for taking the advantage— she was a freaking Elemental.
Using the method of mass-produced Elemental Energy against this newcomer's Elemental newborn beast was simply spitting into the sky and insulting themselves.
A sickle weasel[1] not far away glared unceremoniously towards the coyote brothers' contempt, "Even if this lord's whirlwind didn't work, it was a hundred times better than your method, using buffaloes to trample over them. What a depressing state of IQ for you four to have, driving thousands of buffaloes to barbarically run over a newborn beast that was the size of a thumb. I'll say, your talents are getting progressively brain-damaged. Even if one intentionally learns on how to become even more dense,it would be impossible for them to turn out this stupid. Look! If you didn't expose your plans early, would we have to take action in this empty space? God damn it, scram! All of you!"
T/L Note: [1] A creature in Japanese mythology, namely Kamaitachi.
This sickle weasel was not the Lion King's subordinate. Instead, it was the capable subordinate of another Beast Regiment, the "Human-faced Tiger".
Its strength was far above the four coyote brothers.
As soon as it spoke, although the four coyote brothers were infuriated, they didn't dare refute. They stepped back and pretended not to hear what it said as they were indeed anxious just now. Had they waited for Yue Yang to walk into the valley, the effect of their attack would have been much better. Even if the little newborn beast could not be killed, it could still be trapped inside.
"Fire!"
s
A porcupine with needles all over its body rushed out and shouted loudly.
The porcupine's body tensed and shook. Soon, there were nearly a hundred needles on its head and neck that shot out, raining towards the Reaper Mantis.
No matter how the Reaper Mantis flew around, she wouldn't be able to avoid it. This was because the stingers fired by the porcupine had the ‘Tracking By Will' ability. Coupled with its unique skills, its power was very impressive.
A stinger was about to hit the Reaper Mantis when a meteorite suddenly accelerated and fell. At the same time, it deviated from the original trajectory while the meteorite happened to be in front of her. The stinging needles plunged deeply into the meteorite, one by one penetrating into it with only a few thorny ends exposed. The porcupine cursed, damn it, who ruined my great plans? Suddenly, he found that the Reaper Mantis was flying to its side in a panic. Overjoyed in its heart, it opened its huge mouth and swallowed the little thing in one bite.
Snap!
The porcupine felt something shatter in its mouth.
It was chewing until it felt something was wrong.
After it reacted, the porcupine realized that there was a huge meteorite in his mouth, and there were also countless stingers on the meteorite.
To make matters worse, the Reaper Mantis led those automatically tracking giant tornadoes towards it, and the porcupine was caught drifting in the air before he could scream. Unable to kill the newborn beast, the sickle weasel thought that it seemed good to kill a porcupine. It just soared into the sky, flew into the whirlwind, and swung its sickle towards the porcupine.
With a lightning fast slash of a cross, the porcupine's head and neck had two more blood stains.
The porcupine was also a rather tough guy with a strong vitality. Although it wasn't an equal opponent to the sickle weasel, it could somewhat protect itself.
It rushed out of the tornado like a shooting star.
Regardless of the counterattack, it immediately dug wildly with his fangs. Because in an instant, it dug a hundred meters underground and disappeared.
The Reaper Mantis was happy when she saw the other side killing each other and clapped her little hands. Behind her, a toad appeared and as it opened its terrifying mouth, a thick wave of smoke was emitted.
It was absolutely impossible for the poisonous smoke to open Pandora's Box, but it was more than capable enough to poison a newborn beast.
Upon seeing the toad and the poisonous smoke that was emitted, not just the newborn beast, but even the four coyote brothers and the sickle weasel also panicked as they evaded.
This toad is one of the leaders of the five Beast Regiments, the ‘Toad King'. Although its level was not as good as the Lion King, its overall strength was not below the Lion King either. Especially in terms of poison, in which one would die with just a simple touch. The coyote brothers never thought that it would personally take action just to kill a newborn beast. With the status of the Toad King, killing a newborn beast in person would be a bit of an overkill, wouldn't it?
"Huhu!"
Although the Reaper Mantis had high intelligence, her figure of speech was not very standardised.
She named the whirlwind as Huhu.
The two sickle arms of hers turned around her body, and a strange sight appeared.
All the jetted dark green smoke was compiled into a ball, instantly forming a storm. She drew it towards the sky and turned it into a large tornado of poisonous smoke.
The Reaper Mantis that stayed in the tornado was leisurely contented, completely unaffected by any of the poisonous smoke. The sickle weasel looked dumbfounded and couldn't help but grab one of the coyote brothers. He yelled in disbelief, "That's my unique skill ‘Madman Sickle Tornado’. This is impossible! How could she have my unique skill? "
The coyote was out of breath, wondering how the heck would it know why this happened.
Maybe someone secretly learnt it!
Of course, it dared not say such unpredictable words.
After the sneak attack by the sickle weasel, just by looking at it once, she learnt it secretly and used it against him. Just thinking of these words, the coyote itself felt that it would be impossible and was absolutely dumbfounded.
The high-status Toad King forcibly broke into the big tornado of poisonous smoke. With a long tongue sticking out and a dark mouth full of sharp teeth, it ate the Reaper Mantis frantically. Its body was so huge to the point where it could completely swallow the large tornado of poisonous smoke into its abdomen with its own pitch black mouth. Both the sickle weasel and the coyote thought this guy was too shameless— it was a dignified leader, yet it just jumped out to kill a mere newborn beast with his subordinates in seconds. This lack of pride was absolutely indescribable, and was also absolutely revolting!
Qiang! The sickle weasel heard a familiar sound again.
From the sky, two intersecting lightning bolts suddenly appeared, slashing across the Toad King's plump lips.
Toad King's thick lips, which could not be injured even by a sword, had a cross-shaped mark carved onto it discreetly, whereas its ugly and sticky tongue had also been cut off.
"My ultimate skill! That was my Cross Lightning Kill!" The sickle weasel shook the coyote enraged again as the coyote's neckbone was almost broken.
"Hmph, little bugs."
The Toad King's injuries recovered instantly.
Its short and awkward forelimbs suddenly transformed into the shape of an adult's hand and it drew out a shimmering sword.
With a wave of its hand, the entire ground was frozen, including the areas that were still gushing out magma as well as the burning meteorites. Its Freezing Energy even turned the licks of flames into a frosty state. The Reaper Mantis suspended in the sky was immediately frozen into an ice sphere. Even the sickle weasel and the coyote brothers, who were thousands of meters away, were covered with frost from head to toe.
The bobcat that was very far away had also been draped in a layer of frost, its whiskers and fur having turned white.
It sneezed sharply.
As a result, all the frozen things in a radius of 100 meters like the small trees, grass, insects, and injured buffaloes, had all shattered into dust and scattered.
"What's the big deal of being an Elemental? As long as there is absolute power, there is nothing that can't be killed! It's nothing but a newborn beast, so don't make a fuss!" The Toad King was now ecstatic and rolled its tongue, letting the ice sphere roll into its mouth, grumbling and swallowing it into its belly. He then patted his belly with two arms of different lengths, one long and the other one short, before he made a dull laughter proudly.
Rumble!
It didn't get the best of its laugh when suddenly, a big explosion occurred in its stomach.
The Toad King opened its mouth uncomfortably, spitting out a lot of magma and meteorites. Shaking off the frost on its body, the sickle weasel found that the Reaper Mantis that was suspended in the sky still remained there, but the magma and meteorites on the ground were probably dug up by someone. Judging from the magma spit out by the Toad King, it was probably the toad who should have swallowed it. But, just now I saw clearly that it swallowed frost and ice, so why did it spit out magma?
The sickle weasel was confused, "Whose skill did this belong to? With this kind of psychedelic energy and this kind of space transfer ability, it was definitely not my skill."
Seeing that it had stopped shaking it, the coyote's body trembled a little strangely, "It's not mine either!"
The sickle weasel was furious, "Shut up, there is no place for you to speak here!"
With a fierce attack, it grabbed the coyote's neck and shook it desperately until the coyote's bones creaked. The coyote was full of emotions and wanted to reach out to its brothers for help, but the three hopeless brothers shrank like quails, no one daring to come over to stop the abuse.
"I'll say, toad, looking at your silly appearance and knowing that you are listed as the leader of one of the five Beast Regiments really embarrasses me," A shadow of a being with butterfly wings and a human head on the body of a bee appeared quietly. With its arms raised, the huge hill-sized King Toad flew into the sky, then fell down at the 10,000 metre-level above the ground and smashed into the ground. The shadow didn't stop, and he lifted a boulder with his will and smashed it into Toad's eyes.
"Your lame excuse of a Poison Bee is not anything good either!" The King Toad puffed up his belly angrily and shot up. Although he was hit repeatedly, he was still intact, making him truly rather worthy of being one of the five Beast Regiment Kings.
"No matter how bad I am, I'm not like you, who is dense to the point where you didn't even know that someone was toying with you," The shadow snorted.
"What? Huh?" The Toad King slashed its sword towards the Reaper Mantis in the sky, which turned into an afterimage and disappeared amidst the sword attack. It’s real body has long since disappeared. He glanced at the direction where Yue Yang was supposedly cooking some chicken wings leisurely, but he was nowhere to be found. The Toad King reacted immediately— he was tricked by them! With its power as a Beast King, where it was used to ambushing its enemies first and killing them by force later, it was absolutely embarrassed by not even being able to conquer a mere newborn beast.
"Not just that… The reason why they actually bothered to fight you was to learn of your skills secretly. When the newborn beast grows up, hehehe, I hope she only cares about clearing the Level. Otherwise, there will only be four Beast Kings in the Beast Valley, and one more useless and dead toad!" The butterfly-winged shadow flapped its wings, rising up into the sky before turning into a flicker of light that quickly disappeared.
"You want to escape? It's not that easy," The Toad King sniffed through his nostrils, following its movements by jumping in one direction.
"You guys can't kill even a newborn beast; you're all such a waste!" The sickle weasel threw the coyote, who had almost broken its entire neck bone, onto the ground. It harrumphed in disdain before it turned and left.
"…" The four coyote brothers looked at each other.
In fact, they really wanted to say, could you kill that newborn beast, then? Besides, the one who failed in the highest stage was the leader-level Toad King, wasn't it?
Of course, these words that might incur more wrath, could not be said.
The bobcat, porcupine, meteor bats, rock earthworms and others, plus several batches of beasts that were meant to perform a sneak attack, left this messy battlefield one after another. If they knew that the newborn beast of the arrogant newcomer was an Elemental and could master a new skill upon sight instantly, they definitely would not have come to ambush their enemies. In this battle, not only did they not take advantage of the situation, but they had also offended a powerful opponent in the future.
It would be better if that kid clears the Level early.
What if he was a narrow-minded person? He would remember today's attack, wouldn't he? If he waited for that little pipsqueak to grow up and come back again to slaughter all of us, then we are all doomed.
s
Half an hour later.
The vulture in the sky hidden amidst the clouds had gone away for real now. After it left, student Yue Yang walked out under an iced layer. He held a fork in his hand with two cooked chicken wings on the fork and a glass of frozen Qilan Wine in his other hand. The Reaper Mantis followed behind him as she belched with her face flushed as she seemed to be drunk.
"It seems that you couldn't trick that poisonous bee, your Cloaking ability still has a long way to go! For your first counterattack, I'll judge you as being barely qualified!" Student Yue Yang bit on the honeyed chicken wings as he taught her the lesson.
"Mhmm!" The Reaper Mantis nodded very cleverly and flew to Yue Yang's shoulder again. She held out her small fists, lightly pounding him to massage and please him.
"You idiot, hurry up and practice; don't learn this sort of flattering from Hu Tai Lang!" Student Yue Yang was not going to fall for it.
