Chapter 30: Wood Dragon
Chapter 30: Wood Dragon
All parties were alerted and rushed towards the site of the battle.
Neither Liu Changfeng, Xie Dongye, nor the Divine Messenger of the Ancient God Sect, noticed this scene.
However, both sides had anticipated this.
Such a commotion would inevitably attract attention.
At this moment, the Divine Messenger had gained the upper hand against Liu Changfeng and Xie Dongye, but his heart was filled with unease.
Continuing the fight could lead to unpredictable dangers with the terrain and situation not in his favor.
Watching the seven beasts fiercely battling, the Divine Messenger secretly harbored thoughts of retreat.
He was a decisive man.
Having made his decision, he silently gave an order.
In mid-air, Nightmare Crow suddenly unleashed an 'Shadow Blast' to repel the Wolf Eagle.
Immediately after the 'Shadow Blast', it used its 'Shadow Vanish' skill, appearing beside the Divine Messenger in an instant.
The Divine Messenger leaped, jumping into the air and landing on the crow's back.
Simultaneously, the Bone General and Earthquake Bear unleashed their ultimate moves, 'Soul Annihilation Slash' and 'Earth River Surge'.
The Bone Sword slashed down, emitting a deep gray sword aura that rushed towards the two Fire Mastiffs; the terrifying earthen river also roared towards the Golden Ape.
"Dodge it!"
Facing the fierce onslaught, both Liu Changfeng and Xie Dongye gave the same command.
The two Fire Mastiffs simultaneously used the 'Flame Flash' skill to evade.
The Golden Ape stomped the ground, its body shimmering with golden energy, and its speed suddenly increased as it leaped high, dodging backwards.
Both the Fire Mastiffs and the Golden Ape chose to avoid the brunt of the attacks.
Just as the three beasts dodged, the Divine Messenger, riding on the Nightmare Crow, soared into the sky.
"Not good, he's escaping!" Liu Changfeng's face paled at this sight.
The Divine Messenger from the Ancient God Sect was their biggest catch of the night, and letting him escape would render the rest of their efforts meaningless.
The Ancient God Sect had no shortage of elite-level followers.
"Hahaha, the mountains and rivers are vast, Captain Liu, we shall meet again!" The Divine Messenger stood on the Nightmare Crow's back, his body quickly rising into the sky, and he taunted them arrogantly.
"You're not going anywhere!" As his words fell, a cold female voice responded.
At the same moment the voice sounded, a thick lightning bolt struck with overwhelming speed.
"Thunderbolt Strike!"
The lightning approached, accompanied by a deep roar.
"Caw..."
The Nightmare Crow was hit, letting out a piercing cry in mid-air.
The next moment, the entire crow plummeted straight down.
Its fate was unknown!
On the mountain slope, a massive brown bear leaped forward, using the soft flesh on its back to catch the Divine Messenger who had descended earlier.
The Divine Messenger landed on the Earthquake Bear's back, sensing that the Nightmare Crow was on the brink of death, his eyes filled with gravity.
A single strike had instantly killed the Overlord Rank 5 Nightmare Crow, indicating the attacker's strength was likely at the Overlord Peak.
Such an opponent was far beyond his capabilities! The Divine Messenger was anxious, momentarily unable to devise a countermeasure.
But the attacker showed no mercy, not giving him a chance to catch his breath.
The thick lightning mercilessly struck again.
"Block it!" He ordered the Earthquake Bear, then leaped out to dodge.
The Earthquake Bear extended its paw, lifting a huge boulder to block the incoming lightning.
Boom!
The powerful lightning shattered the boulder.
"Roar~!" The lightning, slightly weakened after hitting the boulder, struck the Earthquake Bear's body, which let out a piercing cry.
A visible layer of charred black covered the Earthquake Bear's body.
This strike, even if it didn't instantly kill the Earthquake Bear, had severely injured it.
The Divine Messenger took this opportunity to leap beside the Bone General.
At this moment, only his ace could give him a sliver of security.
Of course, this sense of security was, strictly speaking, just self-deception.
"Who are you?" The Divine Messenger shouted towards the direction of the attack.
Out of the darkness, a tall and slender woman emerged.
She had a long ponytail, exuding a heroic aura reminiscent of ancient female warriors.
"Who am I? Why should I tell you?" The woman's voice carried a mocking tone. "All you need to know is that your fate will be a miserable one!"
As her words fell, a purple-black leopard with intricate patterns emerged from her side.
"Thunder Leopard!"
The Divine Messenger recognized the woman's companion, and realization dawned on the woman's side, and then realized.
It was clear that the Thunder Leopard had attacked his beast.
"Enough talk, it's pointless. Cultist, face your judgment!" The woman waved her hand towards the Divine Messenger, her voice indifferent.
Zzzz...
The Thunder Leopard darted out, its body covered in dazzling electric light.
With incredible speed, the Thunder Leopard transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging straight towards the Divine Messenger and the Bone General.
The skill is called "Lightning Assault".
It's a powerful close-range attack skill of the Thunder attribute.
"Bone Shield!" The Divine Messenger had no choice but to command the Bone General to defend with all his might.
If Fire is said to counter the Undead, it is only a conceptual advantage. But Thunder is a true counter.
Moreover, the Lightning Leopard's strength is clearly superior to that of the Bone General.
So...
Boom!
After the skills clashed, the Bone General was thrown into the air, and who knows how many of his bones were broken.
Bone fragments kept falling to the ground.
"I advise you to surrender now, or you'll only suffer more," the woman's voice remained cold, revealing no change in emotion.
The Divine Messenger's gaze was determined, unafraid, "I'd rather die than surrender!"
The woman wasn't surprised by this.
These cultists have been brainwashed almost without exception.
Each one of them has an indomitable spirit, and sometimes, dealing with them can be quite troublesome.
The woman didn't say more. The Lightning Leopard once again displayed its "Lightning Assault", and its body was enveloped in a layer of dazzling thunder light.
"Gaah!"
Just as the Lightning Leopard was about to launch its attack, a sharp crow's caw from the sky caught everyone's attention.
"An Overlord-grade Nightmare Crow, the Night Tyrant Crow!"
Looking at the giant crow that had appeared above Cloudmist Mountain at some point, a gravity unseen before appeared in the woman's eyes.
"It's actually the evolved form of a Nightmare Crow, the Night Tyrant Crow!"
Not far away, Liu Changfeng looked up and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
As they were all startled, the Night Tyrant Crow had already launched its attack.
Dense ink-like darkness spread from the Night Tyrant Crow, enveloping the entire mountain peak in an instant.
"This is the Night Tyrant Crow's signature move, the Night Domain."
"Anyone caught within the domain, except for those of the Dark attribute, will have their strength greatly suppressed."
"One can only exert a tenth of their power."
The woman muttered to herself, her brows deeply furrowed.
Beside her, the Divine Messenger, now at his wit's end, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! The Black God Sect hasn't abandoned me! It must be the Protector coming to save me!"
At the same time, not far from here, in a grove, a mature woman in a tour guide uniform looked up at the sky and shook her head helplessly.
Darkness descended, about to engulf the entire mountain peak.
The female tour guide pointed to the sky and said calmly, "Tianxin, pierce it!"
As her words fell, hundreds of vines shot out from the trees.
In mid-air, the vines converged, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a robust wooden dragon.
The wooden dragon roared and charged towards the descending darkness.
Crack! A sound like shattering glass rang out!
The dark cloud was instantly pierced, leaving a gaping hole. Moments later, it dissipated into nothingness.
In the sky, the massive Night Tyrant Crow had disappeared without a trace.
The Divine Messenger looked at the now empty sky, his eyes narrowing slightly, and then shot a sharp gaze towards the Divine Messenger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Moments later, as the Divine Messenger's breath grew weak, Liu Changfeng couldn't help but swallow.
"Umm, this gentleman..." He called out.
The woman said nothing and took out an ID from her pocket.
Liu Changfeng glanced at the ID.
"Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau Special Envoy, Zhao Xiwei!"
Upon seeing the information on the ID, Liu Changfeng and Xie Dongye together respectfully bowed.
"Take him into custody," Zhao Xiwei said, then turned and leaped back towards the mountain peak.
Liu Changfeng waved, and two teammates who had finished their battles swiftly approached, handcuffed the Divine Messenger, and restrained him.
"Also, collect the defeated beasts."
At his command, the remaining team members sprang into action, using Beast Balls to capture all the cultists' beasts.
Normally, these beasts couldn't be contained in Beast Balls.
Even if they were captured, they could easily break free.
But at this moment, these beasts had lost their fighting ability, either near death or already deceased, and couldn't resist.
"Don't stare. A woman of her Special Envoy rank isn't someone you should be fantasizing about."
Turning, Liu Changfeng noticed Xie Dongye still looking at Zhao Xiwei's departing figure and tapped him on the back of his head.
This blockhead, after so long, finally gets a clue, and he's developed a crush on a Special Envoy?
"No... no, Captain, you... don't misunderstand," Xie Dongye stammered, his face turning red. His stuttering, his unease, his tension, his anxiety, were all too apparent.
Seeing this, Liu Changfeng shook his head and sighed helplessly.
