Chapter 872: You Seem To Have Forgotten Someone?
Boom boom boom!
The Fire Tyrant and the Golden Worm King attacked consecutively with repetitive heavy blows. The Poisonous Queen Bee struggled to withstand them and faced the risk of being defeated at any moment. On the other side, Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel, who were responsible for keeping the enemies stalled, were brutally attacked by the Giant Bear and the Two Golden Apes, unable to fight back.
“Let’s go!” The Human-Faced Tiger held back the warmth in his eyes and rushed to the toad frantically.
“Come with me!” The Eagle King also understood that the Poisonous Queen Bee, the Sickle Weasel and Ryoma’s sacrifice would be in vain if they didn’t take action immediately.
It soared into the sky.
When the Human-Faced Tiger was withstanding himself against the Toad King, the flaming claws of the Eagle King waved up and down as if it was a dance.
Even the Toad King, who was fighting with his own toad beast, had to retreat temporarily when he encountered the Eagle King who was desperately attacking. According to the previously negotiated plan, the Human-Faced Tiger would rebound himself backwards and blast through the encirclement of the Toad King. This would allow his teammates, the Bobcat, the Rhino and the others to be able to advance towards the east pond.
As long as the ‘Sliding Waves’ and the ‘Return of the Vortex’ could be performed in time, the Eagle King would surely be able to escape.
Compared to the Poisonous Queen Bee, Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel, who were under the interception of the Fire Tyrant, the Golden Worm king, and the Toad King, they were considered to be in a much more fortunate situation.
“Hurry up!” The Human-Face Tiger slammed and intercepted several black shadows. While covering the retreat of his companions, he jumped high, avoiding the trajectory attacks of the Black Sun’s Light of Death. Then, he proceeded to slam his head towards the safe pond that everyone cowered towards.
The power of the will to survive ignited the Human-Faced Tiger with an unprecedented amount power and speed that he has never experienced before.
Boom!
He plunged into the pond and no one had time to stop him.
However, it was the fact that the huge pond of water was now nothing but a scarce drought that made the others feel afraid— not a single drop of water was left in the once full-rimmed pond. The bottom of the pond was dry and cracked, as if it had been exposed to the sun for several months. The Human-Faced Tiger knew about the power of the Black Sun, but he never would have thought that it has the terrifying ability to instantly dry up a pond. Without water, the Human-Faced Tiger cannot use the Sliding Waves, and it would be more unlikely to use the Return of the Vortex. A muddy and sandy Human-Faced Tiger found himself in the middle of a dry pond.
It dried up and formed cracks. The originally thriving fish inside the pond were now nothing but a pile of bones.
There is not even a drop of water around.
The angry Human-Faced Tiger couldn’t help but let out a wailing cry towards the sky!
God, this is too cruel. The pond that was supposed to protect the lives of his teammates is now dried up entirely. He couldn’t use the Sliding Waves and the Return of the Vortex, so does that mean that they were done for?
“Hahahaha, what a fool!” The Toad King let out a nauseous laugh, taunting triumphantly, “Now do you understand? Little bugs are destined to never be able to fight the strong. No matter how cunning you are or how persistent you remain— it’s pointless. Strength will determine everything! All your little tricks are so ridiculous in front of the Black Sun and the battle beasts of the two Palace Masters! Cry all you want for now, as it would be the only thing you can do before your death!”
“I’ll kill you!” The Human-Faced Tiger now wanted to tear up the Toad King.
“Let’s go! Just leave! I will go save the Bee. Anyone that can escape counts as a win,” The Eagle King got out of the Dark Clouds, instantly understanding the feeling of the Human-Faced Tiger.
“I’ll cover you…” The Human-Faced Tiger’s capable and loyal old courtier, the Electric Tentacle Squid, rushed in front of its leader and advanced towards the Toad King. However, there was too big of a gap between its power and the Toad King’s. With just one blow, the Toad King hit it hard and the Squid retreated. With tears welling in the Human-Faced Tiger’s eyes, he held the old man with his arms as he clenched his fists and glared at the Toad King. He gritted his teeth and uttered cruelly, “I’m not leaving anymore, my goal is to kill this Toad even if it costs my life. If you don’t intend to leave, then let’s fight him together. Before I die, I’ll stop at nothing to have a gnaw at some toad meat!”
“Okay!” The eight tentacles of the Electric Tentacle Squid instantly raided, tightly entangling the Human-Faced Tiger’s body as sparks of lightning flashed on his frame.
He was stunned.
The intense electric current bursts on his body caused the Human-Faced Tiger’s skin to scorch quickly.
The pain in his body could not suppress the surprise and distress of his voice as he yelled angrily, “It turns out that you are the hidden mole in our group. Why? How many years have I treated you like I would a brother? I gave you a fair share of everything I owned, but you repay me with betrayal?”
A freezing cold Frost Sword was edged towards him.
Easily, the sword penetrated the Human-Faced Tiger’s heart from the front.
Together with the toad beast, the Toad King impaled the Tiger with a sword in his hand. He laughed, “Fool! I really doubt that you have lived in Beast Valley for all these years. With your naivety, how did you survive up until now? I really am curious! No matter how good you are to the Squid, it is only your subordinate. No matter how many things you give it, you will only reward it after you have picked the best. You and it will never be of the same standing. You are one of the Five Kings, yet, it is just your assistant. To put it in a worse way, it is nothing but your servant…Do you think it will be willing to be a servant forever? Especially since it had accumulated thousands of years worth of power, do you think it will really be satisfied with the status quo? Let me tell you, Tiger, you never understand why your subordinates betray you because you underestimated the enterprising spirit of a low-ranked being. When it has an opportunity to become a superior, it will betray without hesitation. As long as it abandons the past, it will have a future. Tiger, maybe you won’t believe it, but let me tell you the truth— the Squid was the one who came to me on the initiative and it had also thought about the plan. Otherwise, how would we know about your Sliding Waves and Return of the Vortex skills? Or how would we be able to dry up the pond in advance?”
The Human-Faced Tiger turned his head and stared at the Electric Tentacle Squid.
The cold air of the Frost Sword spreaded from its heart, and within a few seconds, the Human-Faced Tiger turned into an ice sculpture.
The Electric Tentacle Squid shot out eight lightning bolts expressionlessly and directed it on the ice sculpture. The entire frozen body of the Human-Faced Tiger was shattered by the strong electric current, leaving only the head of the wronged.
It rolled and rolled.
Until it reached the tip of the Eagle King’s legs.
“Tiger!” The Eagle King saw that the Human-Faced Tiger faced an end like this. It couldn’t help but scream towards the sky, “I will kill the Toad and the Squid to avenge you!”
“Don’t embarrass yourself! You can’t even protect yourself, and yet you dared to speak of false promises?” The Toad King swung the terrifying iFrost Sword and joined forces with the Electric Tentacle Squid to attack the Eagle King once again.
The Eagle King rose to the sky amidst the dozens of attacks.
It slammed down a lightray from the Light of Death of the Black Sun, scattering feathers all over its body for a long time.
However, it was gravely injured. But with a piercing wail to the sky, it rushed to escape towards the Pushing Stone Field.
Possessing the skill of ‘Soaring Skies’, it was almost impossible to kill the enemy if it wasn’t executed with a single move. Of course, the biggest target of the Toad King’s plan was not the Eagle King, but the Poisonous Queen Bee. After all, the Eagle King was the weakest among the Five Kings and it possessed super-powerful escape skills. Focusing the attack on the Eagle would be really unwise.
After today’s heavy damage, the Eagle King would probably take a long time to recuperate. With that in mind, the Toad King thought that the Eagle would probably not be able to return to the battlefield for some time.
The real threat was the deadly Poisonous Queen Bee.
“Hurry up!” Ryoma hit the back of the Sickle Weasel with a heavy blow, pushing him a kilometre ahead.
“Let’s go together…” The bloody Sickle Weasel wanted to rush back, but Ryoma burst out with a flash of light. His speed increased tenfold in an instant and the Sickle Weasel was pushed along with the second hit. The Winged Unicorn under his mount was forced to pass through the Black Tides of Death with one leg forcibly broken and a body full of wounds that were not healed. Several black shadows attacked together as they knocked down the severely injured Unicorn together. Amidst the tears of the Sickle Weasel, the Winged Unicorn let out a sharp cry as it was struck by the Black Sun’s Light of Death, self-destructing almost instantaneously.
“I am a resident, and I still have one chance as a beast! You want to play with my life? Then let’s die together!”
Ryoma yelled frantically.
Under his seat, the Winged Unicorn that let the Light of Death penetrate through the now exploded body , a burst of devastating shockwaves soared into the air, forming a huge mushroom cloud.
Lightning hissed all over, trying to suppress the shockwaves, spreading as the besieging shadows panicked and fled.
The shockwave was like a wild beast with its mouth wide open, swallowing all the fleeing enemies into it.
Boom… The open space outside the Stone Field presented a huge pit of scorched earth that was deeply sunken.
Within a kilometer, any life will die.
There was a severed and bloodied limb that fell from the sky in front of the Toad King, which shocked the conspirator.
Perhaps for fear that the Bobcat and the Rhinoceros would also self-detonate and because of the self-destruction of the Winged Unicorn, a gap in the encircling circle was created. This had even led to the escape of the Bobcat, the Rhino and the others. When the Black Sun used the Light of Death to pursue them in haste, a crow flew out of nowhere. Its black feathers scattered all over the sky and blocked the fatal blow.
“Let them run! They can run today, but they can’t outrun tomorrow! Let’s take the Bee down today!” The Toad King jumped near the Black Sun as the Fire Tyrant and the Golden Worm King joined forces to battle against the Poisonous Queen Bee, who was on the verge of withstanding attacks. The Toad waved his gleaming sword in hand as he charged.
“I would rather die than surrender…”
The Poisonous Queen Bee rushed to the Golden Worm King that had the most suppressive attributes and stung the poisonous sting into its body severely.
This was her most poisonous shot which had no cure.
Of course, this ‘extremely poisonous’ needle was also executed in exchange for the cost of her life. After the sting, the Poisonous Queen Bee will consume all the vitality of her body regardless of her injuries. The poison needle was also destined to be unable to be retracted, forever remaining in the body of the enemy.
With the Poisonous Queen Bee desperate sting, the Golden Worm King screamed.
The Toad King was extremely vicious and he swung his sword, cutting off the stinged half of the Golden Worm King abruptly.
Despite having half of its frozen body cut off, the poison was still able to flow, instantly turning it into a shade of jet black. If it weren’t for the lethally sharp weapon of the Toad King and his own viciousness, the Worm might have been able to die under the fatal attack of the Poisonous Queen Bee. The Worm King let out a pained cry after being cut off and returned to its master’s side; whereas the Fire Tyrant, who had gladly accepted the a shining gem that shone like the sun from the Toad King, was also happily returning, not bothering to spare a glance at the Poisonous Queen Bee that was slowly dying.
Even the blind could tell that the Poisonous Queen Bee would most definitely die.
Her tail was completely broken and separated. Just like the half needle that was stuck on the Golden Worm King’s body, the latter half of her stinger was broken as well.
However, the saddest part was not her injury, but the fact that all the power of the Poisonous Queen Bee was lost in that sting to be transformed into toxins that could kill the enemy. It was a pity that the Toad King had a sword in his hand and the Worm King did not really die.
“The Sun Gem is in our hands, so we will be leaving the valley now. Garrison, you lot should be okay? It doesn’t matter if you’d take longer. After passing through the Beast Valley, you all should directly return to the Central Palace. The next few levels are not something you can help with either,” The Fire Palace Master Ran Feng who hid in the dark took the Sun Gem, nodded to the Black Sun in the sky and disappeared from the Stone Pushing Field along with Wan Mo, the Fire Tyrant and the Golden Worm King.
“Are you from the Central Palace?” The Poisonous Queen Bee asked weakly before she died.
“Not before, but I’m smart. I am aware of current affairs and I have won the appreciation of Lord Ji Wu Ri. Later, I will be the Deputy Head of the Central Palace in the Beast Valley. I bet you envy me a lot, don’t you? Hahaha! With the backing of the Palace, paired with the fact that I am still a resident, once my beast evolves its wisdom, I can leave the Beast Valley. As for those of you who would be buried in the Beast Valley, I will miss you…”
The pupils of the Poisonous Queen Bee gradually dissipated. She was already dead, unable to hear the proud and crazy laughter of the Toad King.
His laughter echoed in the sky above the entire Stone Pushing Field.
Echoing off against the corpses on the ground, this triumphant laughter of his sounded exceptionally harsh.
The whole plan was perfectly realized. Along with the Fire Tyrant who got its Sun Gem, Ran Feng, Wan Mo and the Black Sun are going to leave the Beast Valley. They’ll proceed to the next level to catch up with Ji Wu Ri and conspire an attack against Captain Cook.
The Human-Faced Tiger and the Poisonous Queen Bee have died tragically on the spot and the Eagle King was seriously injured. That meant that the only one left was the cowardly and fearful Lion King.
As for the residents, Darius had successfully killed the two other leaders with the cooperation of the Black Sun.
With the Deputy Master’s Palace Garrison and the two Palace Elders, as well as the help of Wan Mo and the residents, how difficult would it be to dominate the Beast Valley and turn it into the Central Palace’s target?
Hahaha… The Toad King didn’t think he had any reason not to laugh.
“You seem to have forgotten someone, haven’t you?” Student Yue Yang waited for a long time, before he finally couldn’t help it and reminded him.
