Chapter 108: Vanished
Chapter 108: Vanished
In a place unseen by Li Qian and Chu Xiran, beneath the water, the blue-white ray struck the pale-colored scale once more.
With a "crack" sound, cracks appeared on the scale.
Upon seeing this, the nine companion beasts led by Xiao Liu and the Tundra Wolf were overjoyed.
These companion beasts all possessed great potential, and their intelligence was naturally no less impressive.
Without waiting for Li Qian and Chu Xiran to issue another command, they took the initiative to launch an attack.
The blue-white ray hit the same pale-colored scale once more.
Boom! Finally, the pale-colored scale shattered completely, and the blue-white ray encountered no further obstruction as it penetrated the Dragon Bull's body.
Although the Dragon Bull was an Imperial-grade Extraordinary Creature, its defense, attack, and vitality were far beyond that of ordinary companion beasts, but only under the condition that it wasn't breached.
If its defenses were broken, it would be a different story.
As long as it wasn't a non-flesh-based extraordinary creature, their internal tissues were all the same.
Equally fragile.
"Did you give the order?" Li Qian suddenly spoke, addressing Chu Xiran beside him.
Chu Xiran shook her head in confusion.
However, from the rising cold air on the lake's surface below, she could deduce that the attack was still ongoing in the icy lake.
"What's going on with them?" After her confusion, Chu Xiran quickly realized what had happened.
At the bottom of the icy lake, the nine companion beasts were attacking on their own initiative.
"Perhaps... they saw... the results?" Li Qian hesitated, speaking with a speculative tone.
"Hmm, something's not right." At the same time, as the two were talking, Chu Xiran suddenly sensed something.
"Heavenly and Earthly Energy is going wild!" Soon, Li Qian also sensed this unusual occurrence.
"What should we do now?" Chu Xiran asked subconsciously.
After asking, she realized that she was the teacher and should be the one making decisions at this moment.
"My instincts tell me that we should play it safe this time." Li Qian's eyebrows furrowed.
"Retreat!" After making a decision, Li Qian didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately conveyed his command to Xiao Liu through their soul contract.
Boom...
Just as Li Qian issued the command, the eight Frostfire Salamanders broke through the ice.
Chu Xiran's Tundra Wolf also emerged alongside them.
"Hide first!" Using the Beast Orb to recall seven Frostfire Salamanders, Li Qian placed Xiao Liu into the Beast Space and prepared to retreat.
The raging Heavenly and Earthly Energy had almost become visible to the naked eye.
It even stirred up gusts of fierce wind.
By now, even a fool could tell that something was amiss.
"We shouldn't linger here."
Without hesitation, the two immediately sprang into action.
Almost simultaneously...
On the other side of the unstable rift, Elder Tie and the others also sensed something amiss.
The head and neck of the Dragon Bull, which had poked out, began to emit waves of black energy.
To be precise, it was materialized energy.
"Not good, this guy is about to go all out." Upon seeing this, Elder Tie instantly realized what was happening. "It seems Li Qian's attack was effective, and it has thoroughly provoked this creature."
"Everyone, be extra careful from now on."
Elder Tie continued, offering a word of caution.
And then... an awkward situation occurred.
In the next instant, the Dragon Bull's head and neck, which had already extended, began to retract.
"Not good, full-scale attack!" Realizing the Dragon Bull's intention, Elder Tie's expression turned grim.
At this moment, the Dragon Bull was preparing to retreat, undoubtedly intending to deal with Li Qian and Chu Xiran, who had caused it great trouble.
And what they needed to do was... to intercept with all their might.
If they let it retreat smoothly, it was clear what kind of situation Li Qian and Chu Xiran would face next.
Boom, boom, boom...
What Elder Tie could imagine, others weren't fools either, and naturally realized it as well.
So they all struck with full force without hesitation.
Various powerful skills bombarded down like an energy onslaught.
However, facing the crowd's all-out attacks, the Dragon Bull didn't have the slightest intention to resist.
Its attitude towards retreating was very firm.
This also showed that compared to the pressure of their attacks, it was more concerned about Li Qian and Chu Xiran's surprise attack on its weakness.
In other words, it didn't feel threatened here, but it did feel threatened by Li Qian.
The Dragon Bull lacked rationality, but its instinct would tell it which side to defend.
The crowd tried their best to intercept, but unfortunately, with the Dragon Bull's determination to retreat, the interception was not effective.
In the end, under the bombardment of various skills and amidst the muddy sand from the explosions, the Dragon Bull still managed to retreat from the Unstable Rift.
Just as the Dragon Bull's head exited the Unstable Rift, Chu Jianghe, who understood the Unstable Rift, took immediate action.
He sprinted towards his destination at an incredibly fast speed.
Niu Ai Hua witnessed this and couldn't help but shake her head.
She was well aware of what Chu Jianghe wanted to do, but there wasn't enough time, not even close.
As it turned out, her guess was correct.
Just as Chu Jianghe's figure was about to reach its destination, the Unstable Rift completely disappeared.
Now, after all, it wasn't the time for the Unstable Rift to open, and even if it was approaching and there were signs, it was impossible for it to appear directly.
Forcing it to open was even more impossible.
At least, the three of them couldn't do it.
Niu Ai Hua saw the disappointment on Chu Jianghe's face and comforted him, "We've been managing the Unstable Rift for so many years, you should know the speed at which it closes. Even if it's close to the opening time, without the strength of an Emperor-level, it's impossible to force it open."
"Not to mention you, even Elder Tie..." She continued without pause, and as she spoke, she glanced at Elder Tie.
But after just a glance, she froze, because where Elder Tie had just been standing, there was nothing, no trace of him was visible.
"Hey? Where's Elder Tie!" Niu Ai Hua exclaimed subconsciously upon realizing his disappearance.
Niu Fengjin had seen this and trembled, "Just now... suddenly... he disappeared."
Upon hearing this, the crowd instantly realized what had happened and turned their gazes towards the location where the Unstable Rift had closed.
Peng Zhongyang, the Security Bureau Director, who had been a supporting character throughout, sighed, "He must have entered the Unstable Rift. Elder Tie has a Four-Winged Mantis and can use the 'Teleportation' skill!"
In fact, the crowd had already guessed this.
But precisely because they had guessed it, they were even more worried.
Facing the unbound Dragon Bull, even with Elder Tie's support, Li Qian and Chu Xiran's situation was grim.
Even Elder Tie himself might be in danger.
