Chapter 131: Forest Web! The Terrifying Thousand Wood Wolf!
Chapter 131: Forest Web! The Terrifying Thousand Wood Wolf!
"The Forest Wolf Battalion's luck isn't great!"
"It's not that bad. Although the Mountain Tiger Team has a more advantageous terrain, wood-type pets have a natural advantage over earth-type ones."
"The Earth Mountain Tiger is not the same as ordinary earth-type pets. If we must compare, the Earth Mountain Tiger should be classified as a rock-type, and the wood-type's advantage is relatively weakened. It also depends on the quality of their racial evolution!"
On the viewing platform, whispers began to circulate. Undoubtedly, the first battle of this new evolved pet of the Forest Wolf Battalion would attract more attention than most other teams' encounters.
Compared to the unknown Thousand Wood Wolf, it was evident that more people favored and had higher expectations for the Earth Mountain Tiger, which had the advantage of terrain.
However, Li Da and his team on the screen were unconcerned about such opinions.
This was a tournament, a battle that mattered to all participants.
At the same time, Li Da and his team could also imagine the attention they were receiving.
As the first to debut, the Thousand Wood Wolf represented not only themselves but also the entire Forest Wolf Battalion and the potential of this evolved form.
Without Li Da even giving the order, the four behind him and their four Thousand Wood Wolves had already lined up. If one looked closely, they could see that beneath these wolves, green plant roots were slowly emerging, like tiny green snakes on the mountain.
"Attack!" Li Da shouted.
The Thousand Wood Wolf named 'Da Zhuang' beside him immediately sprang into action, not charging at the Earth Mountain Tiger but instead retreating. The five beastmasters quickly dispersed to maximize their distance from the enemy.
The moment they moved, the Mountain Tiger Team also reacted.
The human beastmasters moved in unison, merging with their pets, and in the next instant, it was as if the ground shook as the sturdy rock wall beneath them protected the five of them.
In beastmaster battles, the beastmasters themselves were the most vulnerable to being breached.
Ensuring the beastmasters' safety while commanding the operation was a fundamental lesson in practical combat for all beastmasters.
And this was no exception.
The rock wall seemed like a large bowl, covering them within.
However, on the surface of the rock, there were several eyes that allowed the beastmasters to see the outside through the pitch-black rock.
It seemed that in this aspect, the Earth Mountain Tiger's ability was superior to the Thousand Wood Wolf.
Only the elite of the entire legion could be here, and it was the Mountain Tiger Team that had previously dominated the Forest Wolf Battalion. Such an opponent couldn't be simple.
But Li Da and his team were also incredibly fast.
They were more aware of their own situation.
The forest created by the Thousand Wood Wolf was their best living cover.
Compared to the cumbersome rock barrier, it was countless times more flexible.
In this situation, they only needed to lead the Thousand Wood Wolf away. Although the Earth Mountain Tiger was fast in this terrain, they would never dare to chase after them!
However, the opponents before them were their 'enemies'. If they fled in panic, they wouldn't even dare to face their battalion commander Zhang Lie or Lin Division Commander later on. They wouldn't forgive themselves.
Attack!
In that instant, everyone inside and outside the arena widened their eyes in disbelief, witnessing the scene unfolding.
What did they see?
Five Earth Mountain Tigers roared and charged towards the five Thousand Wood Wolves that had just hidden themselves in the surroundings.
However, in the previously solid ground, now every inch was occupied by towering trees that had suddenly sprouted from the earth.
The beastmasters, led by Li Da, quickly climbed and maneuvered through the branches of these trees.
The Earth Mountain Tigers summoned earth spikes from the ground, which exploded with a loud 'Bang!'
But they couldn't reach the beastmasters on the trees or the Thousand Wood Wolves that had completely disappeared into the instant forest!
In just a short while, the earth spikes, the indentations, and even the localized earthquakes caused by the condensed mountain rocks were all rendered completely ineffective!
Indeed, on the mountain where the Earth Mountain Tigers were, the Thousand Wood Wolf's unreasonable use of the Tree Prison and Natural Speech to form the forest had maximized the advantage of wood-type over earth-type.
In just three breaths,
This small mountain had transformed into a small forest.
Such a stunning scene not only stunned the Mountain Tiger Team members still within the rock bowl but also the entire legion who had come to witness the Thousand Wood Wolf's abilities.
Some had expected the Thousand Wood Wolf to be impressive, but none had imagined it would be so unreasonable.
The rapidly growing branches were like terrifying giant pythons, heading towards the five Earth Mountain Tigers.
Unstoppable!
The attribute advantage caused the condensed mountain rocks to shatter and explode as the trees took root.
In the lead, the Earth Mountain Tiger was immediately entangled by the spreading branches.
The other Mountain Tigers wanted to rescue it.
But at this moment, their well-coordinated teamwork proved crucial.
As the branches wrapped around the Mountain Tiger, two Thousand Wood Wolves, previously hidden and unseen, suddenly appeared before their eyes without warning.
The branches on their bodies swayed gracefully, exuding an unparalleled sense of freedom.
With such effortless jumps, their agility was utterly incompatible with their bulky frames!
The next moment, an invisible force emanated from the entire forest, affecting every tree.
Under this force, the Earth Mountain Tigers felt their energy draining away even faster.
Run?!
Under normal circumstances, they could indeed flee.
These peculiar evolved Forest Wolves had created a forest with almost no weaknesses.
As long as they found a way out of this jungle and engaged in a roaming battle, there was still a chance.
After all, the saying still held true: the terrain here was their advantage.
These Forest Wolves, no matter how powerful, had their weaknesses. The range and speed of the Jungle Tree Prison were limited.
As long as the pets' speed allows us to quickly exit this area, the opponents will have to expend more energy to catch up and continue creating the jungle, ensuring they're exhausted.
At that point, they can be worn down and defeated.
But how can we run?!
Their Beastmaster was still inside the protective circle.
Even if they ran, the mountain rock wall was extremely solid, but it couldn't hold out for long.
After all, the saying still held true: the Wood element was an absolute counter to the Earth element.
At this moment, the Beastmaster seemed to have become a burden.
However, this was merely the wishful thinking of the Earth Mountain Tigers and the Rock Tiger Team's Beastmaster.
Because at that very moment, only those outside the battlefield, watching through radar vision, were aware of what was happening.
As long as they didn't escape the moment this jungle appeared, there was no way they could run away later when they realized the situation was unfavorable.
On the path of retreat from this jungle, two Forest Wolves stood guard, and beneath their feet, the entire forest had become an impenetrable web, waiting for intruders to walk into their own demise.
From above, the jungle appeared as a colossal spider web.
The Thousand Wood Wolves, leaping and hopping on the branches and trunks, were the 'spiders' in control.
The outcome of the battle was clear from the start, and the curtain fell without any surprises.
Under the influence of the life field, the five Earth Mountain Tigers weakened to their limits. Bound by the branches, they had no chance to fight back.
Naturally, the Rock Tiger Team within the mountain rock wall was exposed to Li Da and his team's gaze.
'Bang!'
Li Da's team didn't waste time with idle chatter during the fight. As soon as the Thousand Wood Wolves appeared, their attack was already underway.
Simultaneously, a blinding red light flashed on the vital sign watch, followed by a mechanized voice:
"Tiger C Squadron, Rock Tiger Team member Hong Lin, be aware! You have suffered a fatal attack and are eliminated. Please immediately restrict your pet and wait for the referee to escort you out of the battlefield. Your score is: 0..."
The leader of the Rock Tiger Team paled slightly, thinking of his commander's dark face and the look that seemed ready to devour them.
However, there was no time for that now.
Li Da and his team, who had just jumped down from the branches, were feeling elated, especially with the prompt from the vital sign watch.
The opponents' angry and resentful gazes were the best prize for the victors.
"Hahaha, you guys keep acting so arrogantly!"
Sun Xiao, standing nearby, gloated as he looked at the 'dead men,' taunting them.
Their side hadn't just avoided casualties but also emerged without any injuries, while the opponents were completely wiped out. This decisive victory gave them every reason to feel proud.
The Rock Tiger Team ignored him. What was there to be proud of when they just got lucky enough to encounter such an absurdly evolved pet?
Li Da, however, knew what was important:
"Alright, no time to waste. We're on a tight schedule, let's move."
They had encountered the enemy as soon as they entered, and they didn't know their plan. Could they still succeed?
Nevertheless, from start to finish, everything that happened in this battle was clearly broadcast live for the outside world to witness.
"What an absurdly evolved pet!" someone exclaimed involuntarily.
No one refuted it.
At that moment, everyone shared the same thoughts and sentiments.
This was too absurd.
In just this short time, they had witnessed the remarkable qualities of this evolved pet.
Its absolute control over the forest.
Not just control, but also the ability to shape and mold the forest itself.
This was truly a rare and precious talent.
Before this, the Forest Wolves had always been known as one of the pets most reliant on their environment. Without the forest's support, the strangling power of the vines was mediocre at best.
The ability to accelerate growth, on the other hand, was relatively useless.
Compared to the Doubling Technique with similar effects, it fell short in terms of results.
However, no one could have anticipated that after just one evolution, this Forest Wolf's evolved form would undergo such a dramatic transformation.
Even Liu Vice President couldn't help but exhale a long breath at this moment.
His fist, hidden in his sleeve, clenched slightly.
The day before, he had already calmed down a little.
At the same time, he had also inquired about some evolution-related questions regarding the Thousand Wood Wolf from Su Ping.
But when it came to skills, Liu Fuhai didn't have much knowledge.
After all, Su Ping had said that he would know everything by tomorrow, right?
And now, as he watched the scene on the screen, Liu Fuhai truly understood.
In fact, it even exceeded his expectations by a wide margin.
He couldn't have imagined it no matter what.
Could it be that this Forest Wolf's evolved form, born from Su Ping's hands, had reached such an absurd level?
At this thought, Liu Vice President turned his head to glance at Su Ping beside him.
Su Ping's gaze was also firmly fixed on the live stream, nodding occasionally at the situation on the screen.
Clearly, he was satisfied with the Thousand Wood Wolf's first battle.
This battle didn't take long; from start to finish, it didn't even last twenty minutes.
This was mainly because the Earth Mountain Tiger kept summoning rocks from beneath the ground to explode, slowing down the weaving of the forest.
But there was one thing.
Liu Vice President, sitting next to Su Ping, thought for a moment and said, "This style of combat is a bit too energy-intensive. Even if the Forest Wolf can gather energy through plants, this type of combat can't be sustained for too long, can it?"
Indeed, creating and weaving such a large forest would be an enormous drain on energy, even for a pet of a Senior Beastmaster.
In this state, the energy consumption would theoretically be unsustainable for an extended period.
However, Su Ping smiled.
Normally, it would indeed be unsustainable for a long duration.
But the Thousand Wood Wolf's greatest wonder lay in this very aspect.
In fact, not just Liu Vice President, but everyone who had watched the entire battle from start to finish was thinking the same thing.
Was the energy consumption of this combat too high? After all, this was a battle royale simulation in the battlefield, not a one-on-one duel on a stage where defeating the opponent was the sole objective.
Injury and excessive energy consumption could easily lead to a loss of initiative in the subsequent battles.
Although there was external support, who could guarantee that they would be lucky enough to find the supplies?
But who could predict luck?
In this battle, the Forest Wolf Battalion undoubtedly attracted the attention of many.
Even most of the top-tier beings in the first row had their eyes locked onto the Forest Wolf Battalion.
An evolved form that had never appeared outside before.
An unparalleled ability to create arenas, with a powerful control effect.
An unmatched binding force.
Although it seemed slightly inferior in terms of direct attack power and defense, it was more than enough! These were the abilities displayed by the Thousand Wood Wolf.
However, the energy consumption at this moment raised a big question mark.
If this were a battle at the Sovereign level, no one would have such doubts about the Thousand Wood Wolf.
Because reaching the Sovereign level meant a complete qualitative change.
At that level, there would be no need to worry about energy consumption in the short term.
But now, they were at the Commander level.
At this rank, the use of skills on such a large scale and frequency would naturally raise concerns about energy consumption.
However, just as this doubt and question arose in everyone's minds, many of them paused in surprise.
Because at that moment, through the perspective of the Forest Wolf Battalion's live stream, they followed the Forest Wolf Battalion's gaze and saw with crystal clarity that after an hour of marching, the Forest Wolf Battalion had reached a large lake.
A box was floating on the lake's surface.
And this box was none other than the supply box in the battlefield.
The randomly distributed supply boxes in the battlefield contained various items.
But there was no doubt that almost every supply box contained energy-restoring elixirs.
At this moment, everyone paused in surprise:
"Is the Forest Wolf Battalion's luck really this good?"
"Did the supply box arrive right after they defeated the Mountain Tiger Team?"
"No! There's a conspiracy!"
Someone quickly exclaimed, "Look at the Vortex Python Team of the Serpent Masters!"
Immediately, some followed the gaze to the Serpent Masters, and indeed, the water-based Vortex Python Team's Beastmaster warrior and its evolved form were currently beneath the lake's surface, using the water mirror to observe the situation on the lake's surface.
A figure in the water and a massive python that seemed to merge with the water current revealed excited, sinister smiles.
"The fish has taken the bait!"
