Chapter 27: Cyclone
Chapter 27: Cyclone
Li Qian's guess was not wrong.
Although Qizi had just completed its evolution and was at a lower level than Nightmare Crow, it was already at a disadvantage after a single clash.
However, after clashing with Water Arrow Barrage, Nightmare Crow's Shadow Spike no longer posed a significant threat.
Qizi unleashed the Dragon Ascend skill.
Its body leaped swiftly in mid-air.
Without much effort, it dodged the attack of the Shadow Spike.
"Roar..."
Qizi was frustrated after losing the first clash.
The once weak and powerless image of being a koi resurfaced in its mind.
It had given its all to evolve and become stronger, hoping to escape the feeling of helplessness.
Now, after finally evolving, it encountered such a powerful opponent shortly after its transformation.
Recalling past frustrations, its heart was filled with a desire to fight.
Li Qian, who had signed a Soul Contract with Qizi, naturally sensed this fighting spirit.
He glanced at the Nightmare Crow in mid-air and the mysterious red-robed figure not far away, and his eyes also lit up with intense battle intent.
"Qizi, I sense your discontent and anger."
He clenched his fist, unafraid.
"So what if they're cultists, or an Elite-level, or Dark Attribute. You're a Green Scaled Dragon, a noble Dragon, what's there to fear!"
"Today, let's have a good fight!"
Without waiting for the red-robed figure's surprise, Li Qian directly commanded Qizi, targeting the mysterious red-robed figure instead of the Nightmare Crow.
"Inferno Wind Slash!"
Li Qian commanded.
A massive, three to four-meter-long crescent-shaped Wind Blade suddenly formed and appeared before Qizi.
The giant Wind Blade shot forward.
With fierce might.
And under Li Qian's command, Qizi's attack wasn't directed at the Nightmare Crow but at the mysterious red-robed figure not far away.
The best way to deal with a beast is to eliminate its tamer!
Li Qian always remembered this golden rule from his combat class.
Moreover, since the opponent was most likely a cultist, there was no need to hold back.
The reason for targeting the mysterious red-robed figure was also to force them to reveal all their cards.
To avoid being caught off guard by his sudden attack, Li Qian decisively chose to switch targets, having now tested the mysterious red-robed man's limits.
In this situation, it was obvious that directly attacking the mysterious red-robed man while bypassing the rock python was no longer feasible.
Moreover, this type of companion beast, with its low attack and high defense, posed little threat. Attacking it would yield no results in a short time.
Li Qian, not being foolish, knew exactly what to do.
The attack was launched again, and this time, Li Qian chose the high-pressure water cannon.
A spinning water ball, even larger than the previous one, shot out from the pond with incredible speed, like a cannonball.
Li Qian, positioned by the water reservoir, knew how to capitalize on this advantageous location.
Combat teacher Hu Minghua had once said, "Beastmasters must learn to utilize terrain to create favorable combat environments."
Li Qian hadn't forgotten these combat lessons.
Moreover, with Qizi facing a two-on-one situation, using the water source in combat would undoubtedly conserve a significant amount of energy, favoring a prolonged battle.
Li Qian believed that as long as time dragged on, the mysterious red-robed man would surely retreat.
Don't forget, this was Cloud Mist Mountain, just fifty kilometers from Yunlan City's downtown area.
If discovered by Yunlan City's Public Security Bureau, they would surely face severe consequences.
So Li Qian was clear that for him, the most important thing was not to defeat the mysterious red-robed man before him but to delay as much as possible.
However, since Qizi had not yet comprehended any defensive skills, Li Qian chose to defend through offense! The high-pressure water cannon struck straight at Nightmare Crow!
In mid-air, Nightmare Crow's body suddenly disappeared without a trace or warning.
The next moment, it appeared in another position.
Seeing this, Li Qian's brows furrowed.
This was the Shadow Vanish skill, a type of movement skill.
When used in the dark, its effect was even more pronounced.
If Nightmare Crow continued to evade solely through this skill, Li Qian would have no chance to engage in direct combat.
However, Li Qian wasn't anxious.
It was a matter of who could outlast whom.
Li Qian didn't believe that the battle of three companion beasts in this place would go unnoticed.
Just as he commanded Qizi to continue engaging Nightmare Crow, a massive rock came hurtling towards them.
It was the rock python launching an attack, using the Rock Manipulation skill!
Although the rock python wasn't adept at attacking, it didn't mean it lacked offensive capabilities. Everything was relative, and to an ordinary person like him, the rock python's attack was equally lethal.
To prevent Qizi from being distracted and injured, Li Qian rolled on the ground, ending up on the stone steps below the observation deck.
Boom! Splash!
The massive rock smashed through the observation deck's railing, falling into the water reservoir at the top of the hundred-foot waterfall.
Water splashed, creating waves over ten meters high.
Seeing this, Li Qian secretly felt lucky.
Had he not dodged, he might not have survived.
As he watched the towering waves, Li Qian's mind stirred.
"Go to the water reservoir and use Cyclone!" Li Qian used the soul contract to give Qizi an order.
Qizi didn't doubt Li Qian's command at all.
It once again displayed the Dragon Ascend skill, and in a flash, it reached the water reservoir.
Immediately, its body began to spin rapidly in place.
As its body spun, a cyclone with a diameter of about ten meters suddenly formed. The hurricane reached straight up to the sky, like a giant pillar descending from heaven.
Whoosh!
The fierce wind sound suddenly rose, sounding extremely terrifying!
