Chapter 119 - An Intricate Plan
Chapter 119: An Intricate Plan
“What’s going on? Is it the Tyrannosaurus’s space ability, or did we not notice it hiding itself the entire time?”
Lin Zhibai and the rest of them were staring with their mouths wide open, watching as the looming Tyrannosaurus flapped its wings and flew back and forth.
They were staring in confusion.
They did not know how the Tyrannosaurus appeared.
The Tyrannosaurus’s ground-shaking roar was powerful, and it mesmerized them.
All of the Beast Tamers were addicted to beasts.
Whenever they saw a powerful beast, they absolutely had to have it.
Based on the power the Tyrannosaurus had demonstrated, Lin Zhibai and the rest of them instantly classified the beast as the same level as Lil Wan, who had summoned three whole Divine Wood Guards from Ye Xuan’s shoulder.
Plus, if the Tyrannosaurus truly had the power to control space, its value was absolutely greater than Lil Wan.
“Snap out of it, let’s go!”
Ye Xuan watched as Lin Zhibai’s White Flame Bronze Bird took down the wailing demon with the help of the Tyrannosaurus, and he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Got it!”
Lin Zhibai and the rest finally snapped out of it.
They then flashed Ye Xuan a thumbs up as they sent their beasts into the fray.
They charged towards the group of Ancient Tomb Tree Demons headed out of the valley.
Whoosh!
After Lin Zhibai’s White Flame Bronze Bird struck down the wailing demon, it flexed its wings and charged right at the Dried Skeleton General behind, filling the void like a flash of white lightning.
Click!
At this time, the Dried Skeleton General who wanted to break away from the battle was caught up with the Earth Demon Bear and the Black Water Demon Snake.
It saw the White Flame Bronze Bird charging towards itself from the sky quickly, and so it leaped into the air quickly with a fire in its eyes.
But the Earth Demon Bear and the Black Water Demon Snake gave it no chance to escape at all.
A close-distance kill.
An enormous Black Water Demon Snake struck from a distance.
When the two cooperated, it would not hold up against the two, no matter how great its Spear Mastery was.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this time, the Divine Wood Guards that had dealt with all the other Dried Skeleton Generals saw the general’s dilemma and immediately threw two javelins at it.
It poured fuel on the fire.
Clang!
Up in the air, the White Flame Bronze Bird rode on the rush from having killed the wailing demon earlier, and it was almost unstoppable.
It leaped across the sky in a flash and reached the sky over the Dried Skeleton General.
It extended a blue claw that burned with flames.
Boom!
The Dried Skeleton General swept across with a blow of its own and parried the one from the White Flame Bronze Bird.
But the White Flame Bronze Bird was far stronger than it had expected.
The moment the long spear in its grip collided with the White Flame Bronze Bird’s claw, it was immediately flung aside.
Then the blazing white flame that enveloped the White Flame Bronze Bird’s claw trailed up the white spear in its hand, slowly making its way across the entire weapon.
In a flash, it was on the general’s body.
Much as the general was just bones, it caught on fire.
The general was in a panic.
Boom!
But it could not wait for the Nether Soul to work its power and put the flames out in time.
The Earth Demon Bear and the Black Water Demon Snake attacked him at the same time.
Boom!
Despite its strength, the Dried Skeleton General could not withstand this blow.
After being sent flying by Earth Demon Bear, he was hit by the Black Water Demon Snake.
Simultaneously, it had to set aside some strength to brace himself against the white flames spreading across him. As soon as he did, its skeleton split into halves in a moment.
There was a crack, and then it flew thirty meters away.
Unfortunately for him, it landed right where Lil Wan’s three Divine Wood Guards were.
Crack!
The Dried Skeleton General fell in front of three Divine Wood Guards, and the gun-wielding Divine Wood Guards who responded the quickest immediately lunged.
With a whoosh, the long spear lodged itself into the general’s eye socket, and the fire of its flame was ground to dust with a vicious twist.
“Nicely done!”
Lin Zhibai and the rest walked, who had already walked out of the dreamland cast by the Phantom Fox, were overjoyed at the sight of this scene.
Killing two of their generals in succession meant the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon had no one left in their arsenal to use.
Next, all they had to do was fight the need to fight the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon with all they had.
“Don’t let your guard down!” Ye Xuan reminded them in a low, booming voice when he caught sight of their expressions.
He can see the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon attributes, so he knew best how powerful it was.
Even with the general and wailing demon dead, the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon could still break its branches to summon two Bronze, low-level Ancient Wood Tree Soldiers.
There was a low hum.
As Ye Xuan was lost in his thoughts, he noticed that the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon that had charged towards him after the wailing demon and the Dried Skeleton General had perished was now coming to an immediate stop.
Yet, in the next moment, it seemed to fly into a rage.
There was not a single branch on its body that bore leaves, and the dense mass of roots beneath its body was all gnarly.
Crack! Crack!
Then, two branches of more than ten meters long fell off from its body as it shook, falling on the ground. In a blink, they became two dark Treants.
These two Treants were Ancient Tomb Tree Soldiers.
They were about the size of the Divine Wooden Guards summoned by Xiaowan.
They stood at about five or six meters of height.
And yet, they were at the lower Bronze level.
The Divine Wooden Guards could not compare to these.
“F*ck!”
The Demonic Ancient Tomb Tree’s sight summoning these two Ancient Tomb Tree Soldiers had Lin Zhibai and the rest blanching.
Not to mention the fact that just these two Ancient Tomb Tree Soldiers alone would pose a daunting challenge for them.
“This guy…”
Ye Xuan saw the Demonic Ancient Tomb Tree use its own branches to summon forth the two Ancient Tomb Tree Soldiers.
From a distance, he took note of how the Demonic Ancient Tomb Tree’s branches were becoming increasingly sparse, and that made his eyes twinkle.
“Zhibai, can you have your White Flame Bronze Bird stall this ancient tomb demon tree for a while? Let it snag the remaining branches and circle around the tree,” Ye Xuan thought about it, then turned and said to Lin Zhibai.
“Stall it?”
Lin Zhibai furrowed his brows. “I can try!”
The Demonic Ancient Tomb Tree was at the intermediary Bronze level.
It was only a little stronger than his White Flame Bronze Bird.
Most Ancient Wood element monsters could subdue bird element monsters. That said, the fire element also influenced his White Flame Bronze Bird.
Fire subdued Ancient Wood.
This was why Lin Zhibai could not fully guarantee whether he could handle the task, not when they had not really come to blows yet.
“Okay, then try it.”
Ye Xuan stared at the Ancient Tomb Tree Soldiers and said, “You and Zhu Wen continue using your Earth Demon Bear and Black Water Demon Snake to try to hold back one of Ancient Tomb Tree Soldiers.”
After making the arrangements, he looked at other students and said, “Duan Yongxin and Li Siyin, you two try to use your Sandstone Giant and Shadowy Demon Spider to handle the other one.
“One more thing, Zhu Wen. Have your Frost Ember Dragon Blood Centipede follow after them. find an opening to take out one of the Ancient Tomb Tree Soldiers.”
“The rest of dispersing and fight and try to take down the Nether-type underlings of the Demonic Ancient Tomb Tree as soon as possible.”
“Understood!” They chorused in agreement.
Duan Yongxin and Li Siyin both sent their Sandstone Giant and Shadowy Demon Spider out as soon as they could.
The Sandstone Giant and Shadowy Demon Spider, like the Earth Demon Bear and the Black Water Demon Snake, were all four-star, peak Black Iron-level beasts.
They were also the two people from Ye Xuan’s squad, aside from Lin Zhibai and Zhu Wen, with beasts of the highest ranks.
Ye Xuan saw that all the people rushed up and immediately let Lil Wan assist.
Whoosh!
Lil Wan dashed out at the speed of light.
As soon as she flew into the battlefield, she gathered the Spirit Sap of Life to trigger the Divine Wood Spiritual Technique, turning it into green energy that fell onto the Earth Demon Bear that was wounded during the battle Dried Skeleton General.
In a moment, the Earth Demon Bear’s injuries were completely healed.
One could only be filled with envy at the sight of this scene.
Of course, the Tyrannosaurus that had taken down a horde of Ancient Tomb Demon Soldiers was no less impressive. After the great feat it had accomplished, it spread its wings and flew back to join the fray.
One could say that both beasts of Ye Xuan’s inspired awe.
Whoosh!
And as Ye Xuan finished putting the pieces in place, Lin Zhibai immediately let his White Flame Bronze Bird turn into a beam of light that charged right towards the looming mass that was the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree’s body.
The bird called out.
The Ancient Tomb Demon Tree did not call to have the White Flame Bronze Bird stopped when it caught the bird’s side flying towards itself.
But its branches waved about in a dance, like whips in the air, as thousands of them stacked upon each other and struck out at the White Flame Bronze Bird.
Whoosh!
The White Flame Bronze Bird did not dare meet the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree’s head-on.
As soon as it was close to the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree, it rushed quickly into the sky.
Since it was a bird-type beast, getting entangled in the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree branches would be a fatal threat.
“Huh?”
At this time, Ye Xuan frowned as he watched the fearsome battle unfold in front of him.
The Tidal Treasure Snail let him realize that about 1,000 meters behind him, there were suddenly seven or eight people charging right towards them on the backs of their beasts.
“It’s the Eternal Night Clan!”
As soon as he saw them, Ye Xuan immediately knew, just by looking at their pale skin, where they were from.
At the same time, he also guessed that they were likely to form Wanshan University.
He noticed something as Wanshan University was rushing over.
He noticed that, amongst the horde from Wanshan University, there were very few who were part of the Eternal Night Clan.
“These guys, they’re charging at us—or maybe they’re charging at me!”
After seeing these people, he found out immediately.
One of these people of the Eternal Night Clan people was holding a strange insect in his arms.
The bug had its head held up high, snooping in their direction.
Ye Xuan took a deep breath when he saw that.
He instinctively understood something. Earlier, he had one of the girls on his squad use her Three-eyed Shadow Mink use its shadow erosion to wipe out all traces of their air travel.
But the power of the Three-eyed Shadow Mink was limited.
Obviously, they couldn’t keep using shadow erosion to wash away their traces.
It was precisely because they could be tracked by the people of the Eternal Night Clan.
“Go a little faster, Zhibai. There are seven Eternal Night Clan members from Wanshan University coming for us. We have to wrap this up quick!” Ye Xuan took a deep breath and said to Lin Zhibai.
“Eternal Night Clan members?”
Lin Zhibai’s eyes widened, and he said, “Got it!”
The bird called.
In the distance, the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree saw the White Flame Bronze Bird avoid its attack. Immediately, it waved a large number of branches and rushed to the White Flame Bronze Bird.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
But at this time, the White Flame Bronze Bird, commanded by Lin Zhibai, suddenly turned about twice in the air.
It avoided the many layers of the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree’s branches and rapidly approached the tree.
At the same time, there was a large, white flame that appeared on it.
The Ancient Tomb Demon Tree suddenly halted in its steps when it saw this.
Shriek!
In the next moment, the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree contorted bodily, speedily shifting all of its remaining branches.
Like a madman, all of them lashed out at the White Flame Bronze Bird.
“Cut through the air, three times!”
Besides Ye Xuan, Lin Zhibai’s gaze was fixed on the stared at the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree in the distance.
He saw that all the tree’s branches were activated.
He immediately let the White Flame Bronze Bird trigger the last of its skill.
Whoosh!
In a flash, the White Flame Bronze Bird seemed to morph into a white streak of lightning, leaping up into the air from the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree.
“Nicely done!”
In the distance, the White Flame Bronze Bird drew all of the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree’s to the front, and Ye Xuan’s eyes glimmered.
Very quickly, his gaze fell upon the Ancient Tomb Demon Tree that was contorted.
Buzz!
