Chapter 196: The Curtain Falls
Chapter 196: The Curtain Falls
The Taiji Panda suddenly appeared without warning and effortlessly blocked the terrifying attack of the Twin-Headed Evil Serpent, causing the watching ordinary beastmasters to feel a surge of confidence and excitement.
With the appearance of such a guardian-like Holy Spirit Grade companion beast, there was no longer any need to worry about safety.
The ordinary beastmasters who witnessed this scene felt relieved, and at the same time, they couldn't help but look towards the distant Twin-Headed Evil Serpent.
Without a doubt, they were all on the side of the Taiji Panda, and they wanted to see how this guardian deity would beat up the evil beast in the sea.
Some beastmasters even had stars in their eyes, filled with admiration, as they had recognized the identity of the Taiji Panda and knew who its beastmaster was.
After all, it was a Holy Spirit Grade companion beast, and even in the largest city of the Dongxia Federation, Zhonghai City, it was a rare existence.
Ordinary people might not recognize the identity of its beastmaster, but for those with a certain status and background, this information was not a secret.
Just as the gazes of many ordinary beastmasters turned towards the distant sea, at that location, the Twin-Headed Evil Serpent launched another extremely violent attack.
Its two serpent heads suddenly plunged into the sea, and the next moment, a ball of light suddenly appeared beneath the water's surface.
The ball of light exploded, accompanied by a terrifying rumble, and a wave suddenly soared into the sky.
The wave rose over a hundred meters high, and as it soared, it blocked out the sun, looking extremely terrifying.
"Damn!" Li Qian couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.
What was all this about!
His luck was just too bad!
In just a few short months, he had encountered several giant wave attacks, and Li Qian began to suspect that he was destined to clash with the waves.
There was no time to continue complaining, as a terrifying roar accompanied the giant wave that had already reached them.
Unlike his previous encounter with the giant wave, this time, Li Qian was noticeably calmer.
Bang!
At least an Imperial Grade companion beast's Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor, upon contact with the giant wave, did not last long, shattering after just a few breaths.
Li Qian was not surprised by this turn of events, as the difference in levels was clear.
He was not worried, and the next moment, everything happened as he had guessed. The Taiji Panda used another skill.
A Taiji pattern suddenly appeared, spanning almost the entire beach.
The Taiji pattern was like an insurmountable wall, successfully blocking the terrifying giant wave.
When the wave subsided, there was no trace of the Twin-Headed Evil Serpent on the sea's surface, and even the Canglong Yuan, Sharply Beaked Shriek Shark, and Cloud Whale Beast, who had been constantly beaten by the Nature Sprite, Plasma Throne, and Seaquaria Tribe, had also disappeared.
At this moment, only the Nature Sprite, Plasma Throne, and Seaquaria Tribe were left hovering over the sea.
High Sage Qiu Sheng witnessed this scene from the top of the tower and shook his head helplessly.
"A Holy Spirit Grade companion beast, if it's not prepared for a head-on confrontation and only wants to escape, it's impossible to intercept it," he sighed, silently adding a sentence to himself.
Of course, this was based on his current strength.
If he could take another step forward and enter the Legendary Grade, keeping these four wild companion beasts would probably not be difficult.
However, if this Twin-Headed Evil Serpent knew that he had entered the Holy Spirit Rank, it probably wouldn't have dared to appear here, let alone brazenly rescue the Sharply Beaked Shriek Shark, Canglong Yuan, and Cloud Whale Beast under his very nose.
Yes, at this moment, High Sage Qiu was well aware of the situation.
Even Shi Yulian and the other four had already understood the purpose of the Twin-Headed Evil Serpent's appearance.
Whether it was the two beams of light from its mouth or the terrifying giant wave that followed, it was all just a feint.
This guy's true intention was to rescue the Sharply Beaked Shriek Shark, Canglong Yuan, and Cloud Whale Beast—three Imperial Companion Beasts.
After all, these were three Imperial Companion Beasts, and they would be considered high-end combat power in any faction.
It was only natural for the Twin-Headed Evil Serpent to come to their rescue.
The only regret was not anticipating this beforehand; otherwise, with better preparation, they might have had a chance to keep one or two of the beasts.
As for keeping all of them, even High Sage Qiu wouldn't dare to think of it. At the very least, with the Holy Spirit Rank Twin-Headed Evil Serpent determined to escape, it would be almost impossible to intercept them.
"Sigh, it's indeed cunning. It fled at the first sign of trouble," Li Qian sighed regretfully, hovering in mid-air atop Seven. He had witnessed the entire incident.
Without hesitation, Li Qian had Seven descend. The battle was over, and hovering in mid-air would only draw unnecessary attention.
After retrieving Seven into his Beast Space, Li Qian continued walking towards the city center, muttering to himself, "Today's events were truly bizarre."
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, a small Qarami."
Li Qian noticed something amiss but didn't dwell on it.
After all, there were others more capable of handling such matters.
Moreover, he firmly believed that once his strength reached a certain level, many mysteries would unravel before him.
Therefore, the top priority was to improve his strength as soon as possible.
In the hall at the top of the tower, Shi Yulian, known for her impatience, was the first to speak up, "What should we do? Should we pursue them?"
The other four, upon hearing this, also turned to High Sage Qiu, awaiting his decision.
High Sage Qiu gazed at the direction where the Twin-Headed Evil Serpent and the other three wild beasts had disappeared. He shook his head, "No need to pursue them. Even if we went after them now, it'd be too late."
After a brief pause, he continued, "The most important thing is that as long as the dimensional rift in the Milo Trench doesn't disappear, it doesn't matter how many Imperial-tier Extraordinary Beasts we eliminate."
In the hall, the youngest of them, Ping Sheng, spoke with a tone of inquiry, "Then, about today's events..."
High Sage Qiu knew what he was asking and shook his head again, "There's no need to hide anything. Moreover, with the situation as it is, there's no point in keeping it a secret."
Indeed, many ordinary citizens and tourists from across the country had witnessed today's events.
It would be impossible to completely cover it up, but they could reduce its impact and the speed of its spread.
With High Sage Qiu's words, there was no further need to discuss the matter.
"A series of calamities are about to unfold!" High Sage Qiu concluded, leaving behind a meaningful statement after the departure of the Twin-Headed Evil Serpent and the other three wild beasts.
