Chapter 297: My Poison, Without Antidote!
Chapter 297: My Poison, Without Antidote!
A young man with bright red hair stood before them.
At first glance, he seemed like a non-mainstream member of the Funeral Love family.
This young man, Rong Cheng, had left a deep impression on Su Ping.
With his vibrant red hair, it was hard for Su Ping to forget him.
Previously, this man had not shown any hostility towards Su Ping, unlike some of the other Rong family members. Instead, whenever their eyes met, he would maintain a calm or even cheerful demeanor.
However, this only proved that he was confident in his abilities, believing that even though Su Ping possessed a portion of the Five Saints' Eggs, he could still obtain one of them.
This indicated that among the younger generation of the Rong family, he was indeed one of the most powerful.
But now that this guy had spoken up, Su Ping didn't feel like wasting words with a stranger or enemy. He directly stepped onto the edge of the Beast Taming Battle arena.
This wasn't some crucial battle.
Since someone had stepped forward, it was time to fight.
"Cousin Su Ping, is it a group battle or a solo Beast Taming Battle?" Rong Cheng asked with a smile, leaping into the center of the arena amidst the gazes of the other branch members.
"Whatever you prefer."
"Hehe, I heard that Cousin Su Ping has only awakened recently. In that case, a team Beast Taming Battle might be disadvantageous for you. I, Rong Cheng, am not one to bully the weak. How about a solo Beast Taming Battle?" Rong Cheng said, his red hair swaying as he summoned a peculiar pet beast by his side.
It must be said that Rong Cheng's idea was quite reasonable.
In his opinion, if Su Ping had indeed gained strength through some means with the family head, it was most likely through additional pet beast contracts.
Quickly enhancing the combat power of a contracted pet beast was extremely challenging, even with the Rong family's resources.
Moreover, this explanation sounded more plausible.
Indeed, Rong Cheng's plan was well thought out.
Su Ping nodded and glanced at the pet beast beside Rong Cheng.
A buzzing sound filled the air as the pet beast's rapidly flapping wings left trails of bloody light in the air.
It was a massive mosquito-like creature with a dark reddish body.
Measuring about a meter in size, it hovered in the air like a large dog, its crimson body and half-meter-long proboscis were enough to make anyone's hair stand on end.
The Real Eye instantly locked onto the creature, and its information appeared before Su Ping:
【Corrupt Blood Mosquito (Contracted by Others)】
【Attribute: Toxic】
【Current Level: Overlord Tenth Rank】
【Species Potential: Overlord Tenth Rank】
【Skills: Blood Corrosion (Mastered), Blood Shadow Cascade (Proficient), Life Drain (Proficient), Blood Siphon (Mastered), Blood Curse (Beginner), Nerve Toxin (Proficient)】
This was a Toxic-type pet beast born solely for combat.
Aside from the survival instinct skill of Blood Siphon, all five of its other skills were combat-oriented.
Having reached the pinnacle of the Overlord Tenth Rank, it indeed had the qualifications to be arrogant at this level.
At this thought, Su Ping's mind stirred, and Xiao Qing's figure appeared beside him.
"Little one, are you ready?"
To be honest, Su Ping was a bit worried about Xiao Qing's participation.
Xiao Qing's combat power was relatively average and couldn't compare to Qian Yi's.
Qian Yi had undergone multiple taming sessions, and as a unique race, the Origami Person had even undergone an evolution.
But Xiao Qing was different.
However, trust in one's pet beast was the most crucial lesson for a tamer and beastmaster.
The relationship between a beastmaster and their pet beast was one of mutual trust, partnership, and family.
Xiao Qing's actions conveyed her response.
The emerald-green Forest Wolf, which seemed insignificant compared to the Corrupt Blood Mosquito in everyone's eyes, slowly stepped forward, approaching Su Ping. With its head held high, its eyes, like beautiful emerald jade, radiated determination and pride.
All Toxic-type creatures seemed to be born to submit to its feet and presence.
Even though it was six or seven small realms weaker than the Corrupt Blood Mosquito before it.
"Forest Wolf?"
Rong Mang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He had indeed seen Su Ping's two contracted pet beasts before.
On Tian Shan, he had witnessed them and knew that Su Ping's pets were this Forest Wolf and the Origami Person.
However, in terms of combat power, regardless of the circumstances, the Origami Person should be more formidable.
With this thought, Rong Mang turned to look around, and although his paternal uncle wasn't present, many of the Rong family's elders had gathered on the outskirts of the arena to witness this unique Beast Taming Battle. Among them was Rong Cheng's Corrupt Blood Mosquito, which he knew well.
Even his own Overmountain was wary of it.
Or rather, any living creature with flesh and blood would feel apprehensive in the face of the Corrupt Blood Mosquito.
Because in the relatively unique attribute of the Toxic type, the relationship between suppression and being suppressed is the most obvious.
Undead, mechanical, and elemental pets are often immune to the abilities of Toxic-type pets and can easily defeat them.
However, when it comes to flesh and blood, almost all attributes of pets are suppressed by the Toxic type.
And the poison of the Corrupt Blood Mosquito...
Standing beside him was his sixteen-year-old cousin, Rong Chan, who had not yet awakened. She anxiously tugged at her brother's sleeve, looking at her cousin's pet, a forest wolf as green as jade, and the ferocious and bloodthirsty Corrupt Blood Mosquito. "Brother, will he be okay?"
Rong Mang did not speak because he knew the gap in strength was too great.
The disparity was so great that he couldn't even comfort his sister.
"Cousin, you have to be careful. There's no antidote for bloodthirsty poison. At that time, you can only use life-type resources to exchange blood for healing... But cousin, rest assured, I'll show mercy!"
Looking at Su Ping's mutated forest wolf, Rong Cheng raised his eyebrows, revealing a disdainful expression.
Su Ping didn't care, but the Little Qing in front of him slowly opened its wolf jaws, emitting an unhappy threatening sound.
Obviously, Little Qing was very dissatisfied with the enemy's contempt.
Rong Cheng didn't care at all. He waved his hand, "Bloodthirsty, attack!"
This was an informal battle with no referees.
The battle began as soon as the pets were summoned.
'Whoosh...'
A fierce sound of breaking through the air echoed.
In the air, a trail of blood-red light quickly streaked by.
The Corrupt Blood Mosquito used 'Blood Shadow Cascade'.
Its speed increased explosively, faster than the eye could see.
Rong Cheng was satisfied with his pet's performance but was still worried. He quickly instructed in the soul contract:
"Bloodthirsty, don't kill him!"
Su Ping wasn't a poor relative from outside, and no matter what, he couldn't be put in life-threatening danger.
"Roar~"
A piercing sound came from the Corrupt Blood Mosquito that had just burst out.
At the same time, a dark red pattern appeared out of thin air and spread from Little Qing's body, enveloping her like a spider web.
Blood Corrosion!
This was Rong Cheng's confidence.
Blood Corrosion is a Toxic-type skill that targets the blood of living beings.
The most incredible thing about it is that it can be activated silently, even ignoring distance.
The high difficulty and value of cultivating the Corrupt Blood Mosquito lie largely in its Blood Corrosion skill.
Once activated, the blood of the pet becomes polluted, and the power of most pets diminishes and weakens, and they may even die as a result.
Many times, the attacked pets don't even know why they become food for the Corrupt Blood Mosquito.
This is an extremely evil and bizarre skill.
Is this the end?
Rong Mang pursed his lips.
If his cousin, who was so confident before, is now instantly killed by Rong Cheng, it will not only greatly shake the cousin's confidence but also cause great dissatisfaction among the Rong family's children towards their grandfather.
With such a huge gap in strength, how could the Egg of the Five Saints be given to such a person so carelessly?
Just as many people, including Rong Cheng, thought that the situation was settled at this moment.
Little Qing didn't feel a thing, as if she hadn't even noticed the blood-red patterns spreading on her body. She calmly stared at the Corrupt Blood Mosquito flying in the sky, her emerald-like pupils revealing a mocking expression.
Yes, it was mockery.
Little Qing's level was indeed not high, and she was far behind the Corrupt Blood Mosquito.
If faced with attacks from other attribute skills, she wouldn't even resist or dodge.
But, the Toxic type?
Not to mention the enhancement from absorbing the Emerald Demon Spring Ginseng, but also the ultimate mutated skill she had finally mastered: Poisonous Wood Heart, which allowed her to absorb various Toxic-type abilities and her own resistance, making her highly immune to such so-called Toxic-type abilities.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the dark red pattern that had enveloped Little Qing slowly disappeared and vanished into her body.
What the hell is this?
Even Rong Cheng spoke to his pet in the soul contract, "Bloodthirsty, I just told you not to kill him. Why did you stop before the Blood Corrosion took effect?"
The Corrupt Blood Mosquito in the sky looked at its owner with a pitiful expression.
Was it its fault for stopping?
But soon, the Corrupt Blood Mosquito also understood. Its blood-red wings buzzed, and the blood poison silently seeped into Little Qing's mouth, nose, eyes, and pores.
This demonstrated the insidious nature of the Toxic type.
As expected, the emerald forest wolf standing there motionless had blood-red patterns on its body again.
(End of Chapter)This time, the pattern was even deeper,
but Xiao Qing seemed to understand, and even the arched back slowly lowered, and she sat down on the ground.
Her two front legs stood on the ground, tilting her head to look at the corrupt blood mosquito in the sky.
Then, in less than fifteen seconds, the blood-red pattern disappeared completely once again.
Xiao Qing was not even slightly affected.
What the hell was this?
Rong Cheng and all the onlookers at this moment also understood. This Forest Wolf was immune to the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's attack?
This Corrupt Blood Mosquito, named Bloodthirsty, was furious.
As one of the strongest Overlord-rank insect-type pet beasts in terms of offensive capabilities, it was the first time it had encountered such humiliation.
A piercing shriek rang out, as if an odd suction force was at work. Xiao Qing felt as if her blood was being drawn out, and the Corrupt Blood Mosquito was about to activate its Blood Curse!
This was the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's ultimate move!
The Blood Curse was the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's most powerful ability, but there was a challenge: how to obtain the enemy's blood.
After Su Ping's training, the Life Drain and Blood Siphon skills were fused, allowing for the extraction of a tiny amount of blood during the process, barely a wound, and only a trace of dirty blood and blockage.
But for the Corrupt Blood Mosquito,
even a trace was enough! In fact, it was indeed so.
On the second-floor viewing platform, Rong Xia's eyebrows furrowed as she turned to Rong Lu beside her:
"Cousin, is Cheng being a bit excessive?"
The Blood Corrosion skill was already bad enough, but it was at least a skill that could control life and death. However, once the Blood Curse was unleashed, the outcome was hard to predict!
Rong Lu narrowed his eyes:
"Rong Xia, Su Ping himself suggested the Beast Taming Battle, and he agreed to it."
Rong Xia's expression turned sour, but upon recalling the Forest Wolf's immunity to Blood Corrosion, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Indeed, the difference in ranks was significant.
Xiao Qing could resist the sensation, but a few drops of blood seeped through her fur.
A drop of blood splattered and landed in the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's mouthparts.
"Roar!"
An excited cry echoed.
The Corrupt Blood Mosquito savored the blood of this odd Forest Wolf. Without hesitation, it unleashed its Blood Curse! Although only at the entry level, as its ultimate move, the Corrupt Blood Mosquito was confident.
A blood-red foam erupted from the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's body.
The originally dark-red Corrupt Blood Mosquito turned even darker, and Xiao Qing's body gradually turned red, creating a bizarre sight with her emerald-like body.
Then, the entire arena fell silent.
As the Rong Family members responsible for treatment summoned their healing pet beasts and instruments, preparing to aid the Forest Wolf, who was only at Overlord Third Rank, the wolf stood up, shook its tail slightly, and all the red disappeared.
In its place, a purple-green light shone, and with this light, Xiao Qing's Evolution Glow became even more dazzling. Su Ping even felt that if not for the species potential restriction, Xiao Qing's realm would have broken through to Overlord Fourth Rank!
The reason was simple. The Blood Curse's toxin was still devoured by Xiao Qing at this moment, and the 'Poisonous Wood Heart' that had initially trained alongside all the Forest Wolves completed its breakthrough, advancing to the Perfect Level!
What surprised everyone even more was that the Corrupt Blood Mosquito, which had just triumphantly unleashed the Blood Curse, seemed to have encountered something.
Its wings slowed in the air.
Then, its body went limp and it plopped down from the sky.
The originally dark-red body turned purple-green, a clear sign of poisoning.
But where did the poison come from? Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.
Even Rong Cheng, the owner, was momentarily dazed.
In an instant, Rong Mang realized with a delayed reaction:
"Was there poison in the Forest Wolf's blood?"
