Chapter 331 - A Natural-Born Warrior
Chapter 331: A Natural-Born Warrior
“Roar!” The Wyvern opened its mouth, which was filled with sharp teeth, and let out a roar that sounded like the roar of a dragon and a tiger. Although it was still young, the dragon bloodline deep in its soul would never allow these low-level source beasts to provoke it wantonly.
Along with this roar, the five Green Bamboo Snakes that were originally gathered in one place immediately spread out and swam away, attacking the Wyvern from different directions.
The Green Bamboo Snakes’ emerald-green flexible body rapidly moved forward on the ground. Although compared to the Wyvern’s huge body, the Green Bamboo Snakes’ body that was only as thick as an infant’s arm could not compare.
However, these Green Bamboo Snakes still relied on their nimble and changeable snake-like movements to try and entangle the Wyvern. Meanwhile, the Venomous Spiders were close to the Wyvern’s body and waited for an opportunity to move. The Venomous Spiders’ short-distance jumping ability was very outstanding.
As long as the Wyvern revealed a flaw, these Venomous Spiders would open their fangs that were filled with venom and quickly inject venom into the Wyvern’s body.
Source energy surged, and a faint yellow light lit up on the Wyvern’s body. The Wyvern’s body seemed to have instantly expanded by a small circle, and its originally explosive body became even more ferocious.
Physical strengthening! This information instantly appeared in Lugh’s mind. This was a move that could rapidly increase one’s strength and explosive power in a short period of time, source beasts would use their own source energy to execute all sorts of moves, and these moves were called skills.
This skill was used at the right time. In a situation where there was a large difference in the number of enemies and allies, casually moving would only reveal more flaws. Using static to stop and strengthen one’s own tactics was the most correct choice.
From another perspective, if Lugh had chosen to fight the enemy, he would have made the same choice as the Wyvern.
“Is this a coincidence? Or is it his own tactical awareness?”
Lugh could not help but look forward to the Wyvern’s next performance.
Five Green Bamboo Snakes approached the Wyvern at an extremely fast speed. One of the Green Bamboo Snakes had already launched an attack from the side of the Wyvern and quickly jumped up to bite the Wyvern.
The Green Bamboo Snake launched a swift and sudden attack, but it did not succeed. Just as the Green Bamboo Snake was about to bite the Wyvern’s body, a grayish-white mist enveloped its body.
The Green Bamboo Snake that was covered in the mist revealed a pained expression. Its pouncing body also paused for a moment.
It was at this moment that the Wyvern slightly turned its body. It instantly stretched out its limbs and used the pair of hook claws at the end of its limbs to directly restrain the Green Bamboo Snake.
The Green Bamboo Snake knew that it was in danger. It struggled in panic, but it was still restrained by the Wyvern’s powerful hook claws. One had to know that the Wyvern’s strength was extremely outstanding, in addition to the ‘physical strengthening’ that it had displayed at the beginning.
The Wyvern stuffed the Green Bamboo Snake into its mouth and used its sharp teeth to quickly chew on the Green Bamboo Snake’s flesh and blood. Red blood dripped down from the Wyvern’s mouth. It looked extremely bloody. It was this terrifying scene that caused the surrounding source beasts to stop their movements.
Before the other source beasts could attack, the Wyvern swallowed the chewed Green Bamboo Snake into its body. The Wyvern’s full abdomen let out a strange rumbling sound. The originally injured parts of the Wyvern’s body started to emit white smoke. The wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Other than the broken half of a bug’s wing, the other wounds were slowly healing. Even the hook claw on the crippled limb could move slightly.
“Wonderful!” When Lugh saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and he could not wait to shout out loud. The Wyvern’s series of responses just now was almost perfect.
First, it used physical strengthening to improve itself, deliberately revealing a flaw to attract the opponent’s attack.
At the instant the opponent attacked, he used Breath of Plague to force the opponent to reveal a flaw, and then he relied on the observation ability of the blood-red compound eyes to accurately control the Green Bamboo Snake.
Breath of Plague was a weakening skill. It was a skill that most flies could master, and it was a skill that even high-level Scavenger Flies could learn.
Breath of Plague was a skill that covered the target’s body with the gray-white power of plague at close range, bringing about the effects of weakening physical strength and weakening antibodies. It could be used by skilled players to directly weaken the enemy into a seriously sick state.
The Wyvern used this move to make the Green Bamboo Snake reveal a flaw, and then instantly controlled the enemy.
It wasn’t over yet, as the Wyvern directly devoured the opponent. Using its innate abilities, ‘Fast Food Digestion’ and ‘Insect Race Self-Healing’, the action of instantly recovering its own injuries was the most eye-catching.
[Fast Food Digestion: This is normally a talent that only fly-type source beasts have. It can rapidly absorb the nutrients and energy of any food. Even feces and food residue can be quickly converted into nutrients and source energy after entering the mouth.]
[Insect Race Self-Healing: An efficient self-healing ability. It is a widespread innate ability of the insect race. As long as the mid-level self-healing speed is not a broken head or leg injury, it can drive source energy to slowly recover from the injury.]
The high-level source energy could carry out a high-efficiency self-healing ability for a short period of time. However, it could not regenerate limbs or organs.
The Wyvern used the nutrition provided by the Green Bamboo Snake’s flesh to quickly replenish its source energy through Fast Food Digestion. Then, it used its source energy to activate another innate ability, Insect Race Self-Healing, to recover from its injuries.
In just a few seconds of battle, it had already made such a response. This Wyvern was simply a natural-born warrior.
Lugh’s heart became even more determined. This Wyvern had to become his source beast no matter what!
The Wyvern’s ‘beheading the enemy’ directly intimidated the other source beasts. Only after Hundred-Eyed Rock let out a muffled cry did those source beasts regain their original calmness and continue to attack.
As a swimming snake species, the Green Bamboo Snake’s movement speed was still very fast. It directly dodged the Wyvern’s continuous leg attacks.
Other than the Wyvern’s crippled leg that couldn’t move, the other five legs of the Wyvern waved their hook claws, preventing the Green Bamboo Snakes from approaching. Although the Wyvern had tried its best to stop the Green Bamboo Snakes from approaching, there were simply too many of them. One of the ‘snakes that slipped through the net’ still managed to climb onto the Wyvern’s body.
The Green Bamboo Snake slithered up the Wyvern’s abdomen and directly coiled around the Wyvern’s head and neck behind its huge compound eyes. This was the natural twisting and strangling ability of a snake-type source beast.
As a snake-type source beast, the Green Bamboo Snake moved very quickly. It didn’t give the Wyvern any chance to react and increased the power of the coil and strangle.
As the Green Bamboo Snake coiled tighter and stronger, the Wyvern seemed to be a little impatient. It directly wrapped the Green Bamboo Snake with the Breath of Plague, allowing the tightly coiled snake to relax a little. The Wyvern quickly stretched out its two legs, wanting to use the hook claws on its legs to tear the hateful snake into two pieces.
But such a good opportunity, how could the Venomous Spiders that were ready to attack miss it? Almost at the same time, four Venomous Spiders instantly leaped up, leaping towards the Wyvern’s body.
The Wyvern’s compound eyes slightly rotated, temporarily giving up on the Green Bamboo Snake on its body. With all five of its limbs out, these legs were extremely swift.
“Swoosh!”
Following a wave of air-piercing sounds, the sharp hook claws on the Wyvern’s legs swung out in the air, leaving several intersecting blood-red marks.
A blood-colored light flashed, and two of the Venomous Spiders that were flying over paused in mid-air. Before they landed on the ground, a few red blood lines appeared on the bodies of the two poisonous spiders, turning into several neat pieces of flesh that fell to the ground.
It was fatal!
The Wyvern’s hook claws that had killed the Venomous Spiders still had some purple poisonous blood on them. In the air, other than the smell of blood, there was also origin energy that had not dissipated yet.
“This is… Bloody Claw! A claw-type source skill. It is a skill that uses source energy to attach to the claw and then explodes in an instant.” Lugh was stunned when he saw the Wyvern’s skill. This made Lugh even more surprised.
“Bloody Claw is a high-level source skill. If I remember correctly, even a Bloody Yaksha that is proficient in this skill would need to be at least tier-2 to learn it. This little guy has already mastered it when he is only at level 5. This can’t be described as having extraordinary talent. He is simply a monster.” Lugh became more and more excited as he thought about it, his breathing became a little hurried, thinking that he had picked up a treasure this time.
“However, this little guy’s current situation is not very good.” Lugh forcefully suppressed his emotions and turned his gaze back to the Wyvern that did not look very good in its infancy.
Although the Wyvern had killed two Venomous Spiders with one strike, there were more than two Venomous Spiders. The remaining two Venomous Spiders took advantage of the time when the Wyvern was still weak and successfully leaped onto the Wyvern’s body.
