Chapter 194: Overwhelming Battle
Chapter 194: Overwhelming Battle
At the top of the tower, in the grand hall, six powerful individuals were discussing a matter of utmost importance to humanity's survival. This scene was also unfolding in various major cities across the Dongxia Federation.
At the base of the tower, Li Qian was completely unaware of what was happening above. At this moment, he was sprinting for his life, fleeing towards the city, looking disheveled, and certainly not exuding any sense of grace.
In reality, compared to when he had first caught sight of the massive wave rushing towards him, he had now become much calmer and composed.
The reason for this transformation was mainly due to the new developments in the battle taking place in the sea.
The course of the battle did not deviate from Li Qian's expectations. In the face of the meticulously bred beasts of human beastmasters, the three wild companion beasts were no match.
Before long, they were overwhelmed and appeared quite disheveled, especially the Sharply Beaked Shriek Shark, whose sharp dorsal fin was broken off at the tip, causing an unceasing flow of blood and a significant injury.
Its opponent was none other than the Nature Sprite.
Even though the battlefield was not in its favor, the Nature Sprite remained the most formidable among them.
It displayed a wide array of Wood-type skills with exceptional proficiency, akin to a master of its craft.
Although offense was not its forte, it was still beyond the capabilities of the Sharply Beaked Shriek Shark to defend against.
Next was the Cloud Whale Beast, facing the Plasma Throne, which also held the upper hand. Thick bolts of lightning struck down, causing it to cry out in pain.
It, too, could only focus on defense, unable to pose any threat to the Plasma Throne.
Lastly, there was the Canglong Yuan, a turtle-like companion beast with a protective shell, giving it a defense far superior to that of the Sharply Beaked Shriek Shark and the Cloud Whale Beast.
Additionally, the Sea Chia was also a Water-type companion beast, and most of its attack skills were Water-based as well. Although it could suppress the Canglong Yuan, the threat it posed to the latter was significantly reduced.
The three human beastmasters' Imperial Rank companion beasts effortlessly subdued the three wild Imperial Rank companion beasts.
Witnessing this, Li Qian realized his safety was no longer a concern, so he slowed his pace, glancing back while continuing his retreat, a faint curiosity stirring within him.
Logically, whether it was the companion beasts contracted by human beastmasters or wild companion beasts, reaching the Imperial Rank should have indicated a certain level of intelligence. In a situation where they knew they couldn't achieve anything, why were these three wild Imperial Rank companion beasts, in their stubbornness, continued their relentless attack. Li Qian was puzzled by their behavior, knowing that they had no chance of success.
This peculiarity indeed raised suspicions, and Li Qian felt there might be some hidden secret. However, considering his own abilities, he chose not to indulge in wild speculations.
Whether there was a secret or not, it wasn't something he could afford to ponder at the moment.
After coming to this realization, Li Qian slowed his steps but didn't stop. Instead, he pressed on, retreating further into the city.
He paid no heed to the foolish onlookers, the citizens, and tourists who dared to sneak closer for a better view. He chose the strategic retreat, knowing it was the wisest course of action.
As they moved, a subtle shift occurred in the battle. The wild companion beasts, driven by desperation, made a final, futile attempt to turn the tide.
In that moment, as the wild beasts lunged forward, a glint of determination in their eyes, Li Qian felt a gentle pressure on his foot.
The Plasma Throne, with its massive form, had inadvertently stepped on his foot, its weight pressing down, causing a surge of sensations.
Li Qian's breath hitched, his eyes widening at the unexpected pleasure. The pressure, though unintentional, sent ripples of delight through his body, a sensation he had never experienced before.
The wild beasts, in their final struggle, unknowingly provided Li Qian with a moment of bliss, their desperation fueling his pleasure.
As the battle raged on, Li Qian's foot became a silent participant, bearing the weight of the Plasma Throne, a secret pleasure hidden beneath the chaos.
This unexpected turn of events left Li Qian's mind in turmoil, a mix of guilt and pleasure swirling within him. He continued his retreat, his foot now bearing the silent testimony of the battle, a hidden delight amidst the chaos.
Unable to help it, the Green Scaled Serpent was such an eye-catching existence. Fortunately, there was an even more exciting and intense battle that drew everyone's attention, so it didn't take long for them to turn their gaze back.
Near the shore, the battle continued, and Li Qian, along with many onlookers, watched with great interest.
The situation of the battle hadn't changed much; three carefully bred Imperial Companion Beasts were still pummeling three wild ones.
Li Qian stared intently, feeling that this situation wouldn't last long.
The three wild Imperial Companion Beasts weren't fools; knowing they were outmatched, they shouldn't continue fighting here.
His guess proved correct, for not long after, the three wild Imperial Companion Beasts chose to retreat after their defeat became apparent.
"Thinking of retreating now is a bit too presumptuous!" On the top of the tower, in the hall, a small old man wearing a vest and shorts sensed something, glanced outside, and then let out a mocking voice.
As his thoughts turned, in the seawater, the Sea Chia immediately gave chase, its speed far surpassing the Cloud Whale Beast.
Turns out, this Imperial Sea Chia was his Companion Beast!
At the same time, the elderly woman Shi Yulian also sensed the escaping enemy, and she coldly hummed, "This isn't a place where you beasts can come and go as you please."
As her voice fell, in the sky, the Plasma Throne let out a high-pitched cry, and thicker lightning bolts descended like divine punishment.
Undoubtedly, this Plasma Throne was her Companion Beast.
"Lilith, we can't lag behind either." The elegantly dressed middle-aged man sensed the changes in his two old friends and also smiled faintly.
His voice wasn't loud, and one could even say it was gentle, but just as he spoke, the Nature Sprite with translucent wings suddenly waved the staff in its hand.
As the staff waved, a blazing light ball followed, and then, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, it shot out.
There were many light balls, densely packed, and finally, they poured out like hail, leaving the ordinary Beastmasters all dumbfounded.
To release so many "energy balls" at once, and each one seemed powerful, such a terrifying skill, and such a wide coverage, made it impossible to dodge.
Boom, boom, boom...
The dense energy balls poured out, bombarding the Sharply Beaked Shark, causing it to let out a painful wail.
The sound was piercing, causing some nearby citizens and tourists to cover their ears.
Li Qian was far away, so he wasn't affected. He watched as some of the bystanders couldn't help but shake their heads, "If you want to watch the spectacle, you should consider whether you have the strength to do so."

The energy balls poured out until they were exhausted, and the Sharply Beaked Shark was directly blasted, falling into the distant sea.
Li Qian saw that at this moment, the Sharply Beaked Shark's condition was almost indescribably miserable.
Its whole body was covered in blood, with some places torn open, some places with deep wounds, and some places charred black.
If it weren't for the Imperial Companion Beast's remarkable vitality, it would have been dead by now.
