Chapter 99: The Terrifying Beast Roar
Chapter 99: The Terrifying Beast Roar
Li Qian had heard the term "monster" before, but unlike the monsters in his past life's games, rumors suggested that these were extremely powerful extraordinary creatures.
Li Qian had once obtained a magic core and given it to Gao Yaxin.
It was the energy core of a monster, and also the source of their formidable power.
According to Gao Yaxin, she had taken that magic core on behalf of her teacher.
Based on her words, her teacher, like the Black God Sect, was also researching monsters.
However, their initial intentions and purposes were undoubtedly different.
It was due to this encounter that Li Qian learned some information about monsters from Gao Yaxin.
Monsters, having lived in the depths of dimensional rifts for a long time, were influenced by raging energy, causing their souls to become twisted and polluted. Not only were they powerful, but they also lacked any rationality and could never be contracted.
In other words, every monster was a killing machine.
Precisely because Li Qian had learned some information about monsters, when he heard that the extraordinary creature trying to break through the unstable rift at this moment was a monster, his first reaction was... disbelief!
"Old Tie, that's not likely! Didn't you say that monsters only live deep within dimensional rifts?"
Old Tie shook his head, "I don't know why, but normally, monsters shouldn't appear in such shallow dimensional rifts..."
With Old Tie's insight and experience, almost as soon as it appeared, he determined the approximate connected layers of this unstable rift based on the energy leaking from it.
It was definitely a shallow dimensional rift.
Hearing the doubt in Old Tie's words, Niu Aihua immediately spoke up with the information she currently knew, "Senior Tie, we suspect that there might be a setup by the Machine Profane Assembly within this unstable rift."
"If that's the case, then it makes sense!" Old Tie nodded after listening to Niu Aihua's information.
In fact, this was a normal phenomenon.
It must have been the Machine Profane Assembly's heretics who did something within the dimensional rift, attracting a monster that usually lived deep within the rift.
"Roar~!"
As Old Tie and Niu Aihua conversed, a heart-wrenching beast roar sounded again from the nearby reservoir.
This time, with prior experience and preparation, the beast roar didn't affect Li Qian.
The beast roar drew everyone's attention.
Li Qian also looked in the direction of the sound and saw a shocking scene.
The water level in the reservoir had dropped to less than half of its original height, and suddenly, a burst of blue light rose from the center.
The blue light crisscrossed, forming a pattern with a certain regularity.
"This should be the array for sealing the unstable rift, but from the looks of it, the situation doesn't seem good!"
Old Tie immediately revealed the information about the pattern formed by the blue light.
In fact, not only Old Tie but even Li Qian himself could see a bit of the trick.
Behind the pattern formed by the blue light, a light circle resembling a door was faintly visible, and within it, Li Qian even saw a hideous and terrifying beast head.
Just a fleeting glance made Li Qian's heart race uncontrollably.
The terrifying beast head in the light circle gave him a sense of oppression, heart palpitations, and even suffocation.
"Imperial Level! This is definitely a genuine Imperial Level monster!" Li Qian almost couldn't hold back from exclaiming as he looked at the terrifying extraordinary creature struggling to break through the unstable rift.
He had witnessed Old Tie's Inferno Viper and Thunderlion, but neither of these companion beasts had such a formidable presence.
Action: It didn't feel like they were on the same level.
Not only Li Qian, but everyone else also felt the terrifying might of the monster that was breaking through the unstable rift.
It wasn't even comparable to Xuan Wu's combined clone robot.
The group even guessed that it might have reached the middle or high stages of the Imperial level.
"We can't let it break through this unstable rift, otherwise, at the moment of breakthrough, under the huge energy gap between the two realms, it's very likely to flush out a fixed dimensional rift!" Old Tie reminded them sternly, and as he spoke, a summoning array lit up beside him once again.
In the blink of an eye, two Overlord-rank companion beasts were summoned by him.
Clearly, he was preparing to go all out!
Upon hearing these words, Li Qian's heart trembled, and he instantly understood why Old Tie was so anxious and serious.
If a new dimensional rift were to be flushed out, it would definitely be a disaster rather than a blessing for the Dongxia Federation at this moment.
Not to mention the potential huge interests in the later stages, just the sudden influx of a large number of extraordinary creatures in the early stages would be enough to destroy Lingwater City and even affect the surrounding cities of Lingwater.
Additionally, it was unknown whether the federal government could continue to spare the strength to suppress this ninth dimensional rift.
Chu Xiran's group of three, Chu Jianghe's group of three, and Zhao Xiwei's group of two all looked a bit disheveled, but after hearing these words, they all wore solemn expressions, ready for battle.
Old Tie scanned the group, and finally, he rested his gaze on Zhao Xiwei and Mu Qianqian, "In situations like this, we need to act swiftly and decisively. More people would only get in the way, so just the two of you girls come with me."
As for Chu Jianghe's group of three, they had all suffered minor injuries, and although they had some strength, they wouldn't be of much help if they went into the water.
Old Tie simply excluded them.
Zhao Xiwei and Mu Qianqian didn't hesitate upon hearing this. After a glance at each other, they took a firm step forward, expressing their determination.
"It's our honor to fight alongside you!" Although their strength wasn't much different, Zhao Xiwei still greatly respected Old Tie for stepping up at this critical moment.
"You two wait on the shore, and if the situation turns unfavorable, retreat immediately without hesitation. Young man, yes, you..." With the decision made, the three of them no longer hesitated. Before entering the water, Old Tie gave a final instruction, turning his gaze to Chu Jianghe, "Take care of Li Qian, and don't let him get even slightly injured, or else, don't blame us if the Shazhou Beastmaster Academy comes knocking on your family's door for an explanation!"
Old Tie spoke with such dominance that Chu Jianghe broke into a sweat and had no choice but to agree without hesitation, "Old Tie, rest assured, I'll take good care of Li Qian, and guarantee he won't get a single hair injured!"
Chu Jianghe was well aware that if he didn't agree, the old senior might just drop everything and leave.
After all, this unstable rift didn't belong to him, and he wasn't from Lingwater City either, so he could easily walk away.
And it was understandable that Old Tie valued Li Qian so much.
To have achieved such research on the evolution methods of the Green-Scaled Dragon and Frostfire Salamander at such a young age, such a prodigy would be cherished and protected by not only the Shazhou Beastmaster Academy but also the Capital Beastmaster Academy and Zhonghai Beastmaster Academy.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Li Qian, his eyes flashing. In that moment, he thought of many things.
Based on what he knew, his niece, Chu Xiran, was Li Qian's high school breeding class teacher, and it seemed their relationship was quite good. With this connection, he believed that seeking some cooperation wouldn't be a problem.
At the very least, he could purchase the Green-Scaled Dragon and Frostfire Salamander companion beasts at market prices.
