Chapter 41: The Unexpected Battle
Chapter 41: The Unexpected Battle
Startled, Li Qian didn't have time to think and immediately sprinted over.
While running, he used his Soul Contract to sense the situation.
Fortunately, Qizi was fine.
However, the condition of the Tail Feather Fish remained unknown.
After all, he hadn't formed a contract with it.
Liu Changfeng followed closely behind.
Frowning, he asked, "What's going on?"
As he spoke, the summoning array at his feet began to faintly glow.
Li Qian shook his head.
At this moment, he was as confused as the rest.
Boom! Boom!
Just as the two of them arrived at the reservoir, two massive waves exploded nearby before they could even observe the situation.
This time, Li Qian clearly perceived it.
Familiar energy fluctuations rippled out.
It was Qizi! Qizi was battling some creature!
Splash! Splash!
Two figures emerged from the water almost immediately.
One was Qizi.
The other was even larger, standing about five to six meters tall and estimated to be over fifteen meters long.
The suddenly appearing Beast had a shape that was neither crocodile nor lizard!
Li Qian's eyes widened in shock, "What is that?"
He couldn't identify the huge Beast.
However, just by looking at its size, feeling its aura, and knowing that the True Sight Eye couldn't detect its information, he could draw a conclusion.
This thing was terrifyingly powerful!
Fortunately, it chose to attack at this moment.
Liu Changfeng was standing next to him.
Otherwise, he would have immediately recalled Qizi and the Tail Feather Fish and run away.
"Brutal Salamander!"
Unlike Li Qian, Liu Changfeng, with his extensive knowledge, immediately identified the Beast.
After observing for a moment, his frown deepened, "No, something's wrong with this Brutal Salamander! It's a cultist!"
Indeed, the Brutal Salamander's condition was off, not just to Liu Changfeng but also to Li Qian.
It was covered in strange black energy, its eyes blood-red and filled with a fierce light!
It looked as if it had completely lost its mind.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The Brutal Salamander kept roaring angrily, as if it was in constant pain, unable to escape.
Seeing the Brutal Salamander's current state, Li Qian instantly thought of something, "Black God Sect!"
Noticing Liu Changfeng's questioning gaze, he explained briefly, "I rescued a Tail Feather Fish here before, an experimental subject of the Black God Sect!"
Just as Li Qian finished speaking, another splash sounded, and a fish head emerged from the water.
It was the Tail Feather Fish.
Li Qian could sense that the Tail Feather Fish was in a bad state, barely breathing, and likely injured.
This confirmed that the Brutal Salamander, or more accurately, the cultist behind it, was indeed targeting the Tail Feather Fish.
Of course, there was another guess Li Qian didn't delve into deeply.
The cultists might have come specifically to deal with the Tail Feather Fish because of the black bead.
However, the more they valued it, the more it proved that the black bead was significant.
It was likely a rare treasure.
Li Qian wouldn't hand it over unless absolutely necessary.
Hearing this, Liu Changfeng, though he found it strange that they would go to such lengths for an experimental subject, basically confirmed the identity of the attacker, "It's most likely them."
Without time to think, he directly summoned his two Beasts.
F
Golden Ape!
T
So Liu Changfeng directly sent the Golden Ape to deal with it.
"Little Jin, go!" As he spoke, the huge golden-furred ape, wielding a club, pounced out.
I
"
L
The cultist, hiding in the shadows, couldn't possibly be too far away if they wanted to control the Brutal Salamander remotely.
Looking around, the only place where someone could hide was the residential area of the hydroelectric power station.
So Li Qian didn't hesitate and dashed over.
The hidden cultist perhaps realized that continuing to hide at this point was like covering one's ears while stealing a bell, so he leaped out onto the dam.
"No need to look for me, I'm right here!" The Black God Sect cultist, dressed in a black robe, landed on the dam, his voice hoarse as he spoke to Li Qian.
In fact, at this moment, he was quite speechless.
He had thought that, as a high-ranking Overlord Tier executor, dealing with a mere ordinary high school student would be a piece of cake.
Unexpectedly, they encountered someone from the Public Security Bureau.
Yes, upon seeing the beast Liu Changfeng summoned, he had already recognized the latter's identity.
If he had recognized his identity earlier, he would have definitely restrained himself temporarily from this attack.
Wait until this guy leaves before taking action.
Unfortunately, now, it's too late to say anything.
The attack has already begun, and it's impossible to stop midway.
Otherwise, it would alert the enemy, and the next move would be more difficult.
The heretic from the Black God Sect landed on top of the dam, and as the summoning array lit up, a second pet beast suddenly appeared.
"Be careful, that's a Gale Wolf, Overlord Rank!" Liu Changfeng shouted a warning, sensing the energy fluctuations from the suddenly appearing second pet beast through his equipment.
"This is a bit troublesome."
Seeing this, Li Qian frowned, "This guy might very well destroy the reservoir dam to threaten us!"
This reservoir dam, built with reinforced concrete, appeared extremely solid, but in the character development standpoint, the appearance of this second pet beast, a Gale Wolf of Overlord rank, added a layer of complexity to the situation.
If the dam is destroyed, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the entire Lingzhou City.
Fortunately, the Ling River passes by the city, otherwise, the disaster would be multiplied.
Even so, if it can be avoided, it's definitely better to avoid it.
At this moment, Li Qian and Liu Changfeng, without exchanging words, reached a rare understanding.
T
It was the skill "Flamethrower."
At the same time, Qizi also cooperated by launching an extremely fast wind blade.
It was the skill "Gale Slash."
T
Only wind-type skills could be utilized.
As for the Golden Thread Tortoise, it could only watch.
Its whole body didn't have a single non-water skill, and using skills at this time might actually be counterproductive.
Of course, it wasn't completely useless.
"Golden Thread Tortoise, help me keep watch."
Li Qian didn't forget that this heretic from the Black God Sect had the strength of an Overlord rank.
B
As the battle raged on, Liu Changfeng commanded the Golden Ape to fight while shouting to Li Qian's position, "I've sent a distress message, we just need to hold him off!"
Speaking of which, Liu Changfeng suddenly realized something and abruptly changed his strategy, "No, I'll hold him off, you find a way to leave here!"
Li Qian understood why Liu Changfeng suddenly changed his strategy.
However, he was clear that he couldn't avoid this matter.
This heretic from the Black God Sect was targeting the Golden Thread Tortoise, and more precisely, he was targeting Li Qian.
"It's fine, I'll stay here, restrain him, and provide some help." Li Qian shook his head, "Don't underestimate Qizi and my power."
After saying this, he silently shouted in his heart, "Tornado!"
Liu Changfeng, on the other hand, used the Dragon Flame Song.
The wind borrowed the fire, and in an instant, a terrifying storm was whipped up.
The dragon-shaped flames and dragon-shaped tornado merged, creating a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.
Even though the Gale Wolf was also a wind-type, facing such a terrifying offensive, it had to treat it with utmost seriousness.
In the end, under the heretic's command, the Gale Wolf chose to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.
It carried its master, leaping over the dam at an extremely fast speed, and landed on the opposite reservoir bank.
Q
Li Qian thought for a moment and didn't immediately follow, but stayed at a distance, commanding from afar.
L
If he had contracted a Green Scale Dragon at this moment, dealing with this heretic from the Black God Sect would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger.
"Caution is paramount," Liu Changfeng reminded Li Qian again, seeing his pursuit, "If you can restrain, restrain; if not, prioritize your safety."
Li Qian took Liu Changfeng's words to heart.
Daring not to be careless.
The opponent's combat experience was far beyond his own.
Listening to his words was the right choice.
As it turned out, listening was indeed the right choice, because in the next moment after his reminder, a black shadow rapidly descended from the sky, directly attacking them, accompanied by sharp bird cries.
"Chirp~!"
Thanks to Liu Changfeng's reminder, Li Qian reacted immediately.
He looked at the Golden Thread Tortoise in the water and commanded, "High-Pressure Water Cannon!"
At this moment, the Golden Thread Tortoise, like his contracted pet beast, instinctively used the High-Pressure Water Cannon to counter the attacking black shadow.
(End of Chapter)Be careful, that's an Elite Tier 8 Kite Eagle!" Liu Changfeng's warning came just as the high-pressure water cannon fired.
Bang~!
In mid-air, the water cannon and the eagle collided.
The eagle's sharp, narrow beak pierced the water cannon, shattering it, but the cannon's latent kinetic energy also repelled the eagle.
"Be careful, the Kite Eagle is a bird, but it doesn't belong to the Wind Element. It's an attribute-less pet!" Liu Changfeng's warning proved true as the eagle was repelled, but he remained cautious and ordered a follow-up with a regular water cannon.
His caution was justified; the eagle, despite being repelled, went on the offensive.
In this Beast Taming world, not all pets have attribute distinctions.
Some pets are born without specific attributes.
This doesn't mean attribute-less pets are weak.
In theory, attribute-less pets can learn any attribute skill.
While learning might be more difficult, and the skill's power might be weaker than that of an attribute pet, with proper skill combinations, their power is not to be underestimated.
Moreover, there's an advantage.
There's no strict attribute suppression.
This makes it troublesome to fight against, as you never know what skills they'll use.
As the eagle demonstrated, its bird claws shimmering with a golden light, it unleashed a barrage of attacks.
"Roar, roar, roar...!" The salamander, though confused and irrational, still felt pain and became even more ferocious.
"Retreat to shore!"
Seeing the salamander's increasing ferocity, Liu Changfeng quickly gave the order, knowing the battle's intensity.
The other side, with the Fire Mastiff and Qi Zai, was locked in a stalemate with the Black God Sect's disciple and the Green Scaled Dragon.
Qi Zai had numerical superiority, but the disciple's Swift Wolf had higher combat prowess.
Meanwhile, Li Qian and the Peacock Fish faced the Kite Eagle.
Unlike the other battles, this one predictably turned passive.
Li Qian and the Peacock Fish struggled to hold their ground.
The Peacock Fish wasn't a skilled combatant.
As Li Qian considered their options, the eagle's relentless assault continued.
