Chapter 121: Section 122: Is This—A Human?!
This was the third time Lord Zhenjin faced the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
The young knight was surprised that the Blue Dog Fox Wolf could break out alone.
Lord Zhenjin’s eyes narrowed, focusing intently on the formidable enemy before him, his thoughts flashing like electricity through his mind.
“Until now, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had always stayed at the back, using the forest to cover itself; I never thought it could be so brave.”
“No, this Magic Beast has always been very ruthless! Initially, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf that attacked the rescue team led by Zi Di was also so aggressive.”
“It seems that calling other Magic Beasts is something the Blue Dog Fox Wolf does only when it feels necessary, like Zi Di once said, the one that chased them had used the Fire Poison Bee Swarm.”
...
“Wait, why did I see a Demon Beast Army with these two Blue Dog Fox Wolves before?”
Questions arose, but Lord Zhenjin immediately suppressed them in his heart.
Because at that moment, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had already pounced!
Lord Zhenjin immediately rolled away, avoiding the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s strike.
But as the Blue Dog Fox Wolf crossed over Lord Zhenjin in mid-air, its tail whipped fiercely, striking Lord Zhenjin’s back.
Lord Zhenjin took a heavy hit, as if someone had hammered him on the back with an iron mallet.
“What hit me?” Lord Zhenjin rolled continuously to dissipate the force and immediately knelt on the ground.
“I definitely dodged it,” Lord Zhenjin was a bit dazed. The wooden wall was narrow, leaving little room; he almost rolled off the edge of the wall.
Lord Zhenjin’s gaze gradually focused on the fluffy tail behind the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
“This thing can also be used as a weapon?” Lord Zhenjin realized.
The intelligence of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf was similar to that of a human, incredibly high, enough to have extensively trained its body.
The fox tail was not really a conventional weapon of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, it should rather be considered a weak point. Yet, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had deliberately trained it to become a weapon.
Perhaps against creatures like the Strong Life White Rhinoceros, the tail of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf was of no use. But against humans like Zhenjin, especially when he was not aided by Fighting Energy, the hardness and strength of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s tail surpassed that of a man.
Lord Zhenjin snorted coldly, quietly activating his Heart Core.
The next moment, red light surged within his body, turning his bones and muscles into those of a Monkey-tailed Brown Bear.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s gaze tightened, sensing some change in the young knight before it, but upon closer inspection, nothing seemed different.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf attacked again.
Its speed was incredibly fast, almost like a blue streak of lightning, reaching Lord Zhenjin in the blink of an eye.
Lord Zhenjin held up his thin sword, Silver Lightning, firmly blocking the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
The unstoppable strike of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf was blocked by the slender blade, and just as a hint of shock arose in its heart, the next moment, Lord Zhenjin’s fist swept across.
Bang.
The fist slammed into the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s ear, the tremendous force sending the Blue Dog Fox Wolf flying.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf tumbled three times on the wooden planks and immediately stood up again. Planting its four paws on the ground, it shook its head to rid itself of the dizziness.
“Bark Bark!” The Blue Dog Fox Wolf roared at Lord Zhenjin, showing a very human-like expression of shock.
Is this—a human?
Lord Zhenjin looked like a still-maturing human juvenile; how could he possess such immense strength?
Hearing the roar of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, surrounding Flying Squirrels gathered and charged at Lord Zhenjin from all directions.
Lord Zhenjin took a deep breath, and his lungs, mutated into those of a bat monkey, expanded due to a sudden intake of a large volume of air, causing his chest to bulge noticeably.
“Get out of the way—!” Lord Zhenjin suddenly opened his mouth, and his roar stirred the surrounding air, creating translucent ripples.
The Flying Squirrels rushing towards him were basically seeking their own deaths, most of them collapsed on the ground, the stronger ones screamed and rolled around, most of them laying dead, either knocked out or truly having lost their lives.
Lord Zhenjin swung his thin sword, Silver Lightning, and in the flickering light of the blade, he dispatched the wailing Flying Squirrels still gasping for breath.
Watching Lord Zhenjin reap the lives of the Flying Squirrels, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf made another dash, charging at him.
Lord Zhenjin swiftly half-raised his thin sword, bracing for the attack.
However, this time the Blue Dog Fox Wolf didn’t jump to attack; it kept its paws firmly on the wooden boards the whole time.
The distance between them rapidly closed, and Lord Zhenjin abruptly swung his thin sword downward in a chopping motion.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf suddenly ducked lower, evading the thin sword, almost rubbing its belly against the wooden boards as it quickly slipped behind Lord Zhenjin.
A wolf howl exploded behind him, Lord Zhenjin hurriedly turned around while horizontally slashing with his sword in one smooth motion.
But he missed.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf had merely roared to force Lord Zhenjin to turn and swing his sword.
After Lord Zhenjin swung his sword, his force spent, a vulnerability appeared in an instant.
It seemed as if a flash of green light blinked in the eyes of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, and only then did it truly leap forward.
“This beast fights as if it’s skilled in martial arts!” Lord Zhenjin was greatly shocked. The exposure he had revealed was something the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had cunningly orchestrated and seized. He was already too late to dodge.
At the critical moment, Lord Zhenjin raised his empty left arm, using it as a shield in front of his face to protect his vulnerable neck, preventing the Blue Dog Fox Wolf from crushing his throat in one bite.
Mid-leap, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf saw Lord Zhenjin sacrificing his left arm and, excited, it opened its mouth even wider.
Then, it fiercely bit down on Lord Zhenjin’s left arm.
Its mouth full of sharp teeth, its terrifying biting force could even shatter an iron helmet.
But Lord Zhenjin’s left arm did not break under the bite.
Instead, several of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s teeth were smashed!
At the crucial moment, Lord Zhenjin had covered his left arm with a layer of tough Silver Scorpion Shell.
The intense pain from the broken teeth made the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s body shudder sharply; then the Silver Magical Beast, its ferocity stoked, bit down hard on Lord Zhenjin’s left arm with its mouth bloody, and using the inertia of its leap, it violently knocked Lord Zhenjin down.
Lord Zhenjin and the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had originally been clashing on top of the wooden wall, and now, one was biting onto the other’s left arm, refusing to let go as they fell from the sky.
“Ah, Lord Zhenjin!” Bai Ya exclaimed, hurriedly jumping down the brace.
On the ground, he saw Lord Zhenjin just getting up.
“Damn it, it was hit by my sword and still it ran!” Lord Zhenjin coughed violently, observing a trail of blood on the ground, as the figure of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf disappeared among the distant tents.
Falling from such a height was obviously a painful experience; the Blue Dog Fox Wolf intended to use Silver Magical Beast’s physical superiority to overpower Lord Zhenjin.
But Lord Zhenjin’s bear bones and bear flesh were not for show; instead, in the falling process, he seized the opportunity to stab his sword from the belly of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf toward its spine, the blade tip piercing through the wolf’s skin, creating a through-and-through wound.
“Good sword!”
“Pity it didn’t penetrate the spine of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.”
“We must find it; a wounded Magic Beast is even more dangerous!”
“Bai Ya, stay behind and clean up the remaining Flying Squirrels,” Lord Zhenjin shouted orders at the running Bai Ya. “I’ll chase down the Blue Dog Fox Wolf. There’s no enemy situation here, you go to the main gate to support Zong Ge.”
By now, the attack of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf on the camp’s side had been essentially neutralized.
The Flying Squirrel was severely restrained by Lord Zhenjin’s roar, unable to unleash even a tenth of its strength.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf that fled to the camp became the only remaining trouble.
“I understand, Lord,” Bai Ya said admiringly as he watched Lord Zhenjin speed away.
Just then, there was a loud boom—the camp’s gate had unexpectedly… collapsed!
“What’s going on?!” exclaimed everyone else in the camp, all of them shocked.
“What was Zong Ge doing!” Lord Zhenjin too paused in his strides because of this mishap.
He fixed his gaze towards the camp gate and simultaneously used ultrasonic detection.
At the original site of the camp gate, there was a pitch-black deep hole.
A yellow and white Magic Beast was shrinking back into the hole. Lord Zhenjin barely caught a glimpse of it.
It was a Silver Magical Beast, seemingly very skilled in underground attacks!
“The Blue Dog Fox Wolf actually had an ace up its sleeve!”
“I didn’t detect it. It seems to have been stealthily underground all this time.”
The Demon Beast Army, led by the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s command, used various tactics. Lord Zhenjin guarded against split forces and assaults but hadn’t expected an underground Magic Beast.
Ultrasonic detection had its limitations.
Although it could probe the underground, it worked best in close contact with the ground.
Lord Zhenjin’s scouting was done from high atop the wooden walls.
And even with close-to-ground probing, it was unlikely to detect this mysterious underground beast anytime soon, for it burrowed very deep.
The collapse of the camp gate also brought down parts of the surrounding wooden walls.
The hole beneath the gate, though deep, wasn’t very wide.
The Monkey-tailed Brown Bear, Strong Life White Rhinoceros, and Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa all surged into the camp.
Inside the camp, there were reserves.
“You’ve finally arrived; the Big guy was getting impatient!” a little giant yelled abusively, swinging his massive club and charging back to “warmly welcome” the advancing Demon Beast Army.
These Silver Magical Beasts were all injured, but the little giant was in his peak condition.
His giant bloodline provided him with extraordinary physique and strength. With his wooden club, he swept aside two or three Monkey-tailed Brown Bears.
A Strong Life White Rhinoceros charged over.
“This way is blocked!” The Big guy blocked it head-on, only to have his belly pierced by the rhinoceros’s horn.
Then, the comparatively slowest Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa slithered over and wrapped around the Big guy, tightly squeezing him.
The Big guy tangled with the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa swiftly fell disadvantaged.
Suddenly, a huge Long Arrow shot out, striking right into the torso of the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa.
The arrow was very long, over one meter, with an iron tip. Its shooting power was even greater than Lord Zhenjin’s waist crossbow.
Although the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa was tough-skinned, the arrow nearly pierced through it.
Severely wounded, the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa still clung tightly to the Big guy. The Big guy’s face turned red, obviously struggling to breathe.
“Don’t hit my son!” yelled a shipwright from within the central wooden house.
“You think I’m Mu Ban?” The shooter was Hei Juan, arrayed before him was a Bed Crossbow.
Indeed, it was a Bed Crossbow!
The Bed Crossbows were constructed by Mu Ban, who didn’t make just one but three.
Bed Crossbows were large war machines, commissioned specifically to combat large Magic Beasts.
Regrettably, there wasn’t much space atop the wooden walls, and the makeshift planks couldn’t support the weight of Bed Crossbows.
Therefore, the Bed Crossbows had only been set up inside the camp.
When the gates were smashed, the Magic Beasts charged in, right into the firing line of the three Bed Crossbows!
Boom, boom, boom…
Arrows flew, some directly piercing through Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, others scoring a bloody trail from head to tail on a Strong Life White Rhinoceros, while some missed.
Operating the Bed Crossbows was challenging; they were difficult to load and required several people’s coordination.
Injured personnel standing beside the three Bed Crossbows disregarded their wounds and exerted all their strength while reloading.
Hei Juan displayed formidable shooting skills, being the main archer.
Under his operation, three arrows successively hit the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa.
The Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa, increasingly wounded and losing blood rapidly, gradually lost strength and finally was freed by the Big guy. The Big guy then viciously bludgeoned its head with the club until the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa lay motionless on the ground.
The reserve forces performed well, seemingly about to hold back the incoming large Magic Beasts.
“Run!” Just then, Lord Zhenjin came running at top speed, shouting loudly at Hei Juan and the others.
Hei Juan hesitated for a moment, then promptly started running, not hesitating to leave behind the Bed Crossbows.
In the next moment, the ground burst open, and a huge eel-like Monster emerged from beneath.
It seemed to have no eyes, its body milky yellow and unarmored, greasy, resembling a giant earthworm.
Yet within its wide-open mouth were rings of saw-like teeth, closely packed.
The Monster swallowed the Bed Crossbow whole, its teeth sawing incessantly inside its mouth.
After a few breaths, the Bed Crossbow was spat out, now reduced to countless wood shavings and fragments.
Hei Juan and the others were horrified; had it been a person swallowed, even full iron armor wouldn’t have withstood it.
The Underground Giant Worm chewed up one Bed Crossbow and swiftly burrowed back into the ground.
Left with no alternative, Lord Zhenjin also ended up lunging at nothing.
He had just been using ultrasonic detection, detecting this mysterious underground Beast before even spotting the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
The Underground Giant Worm didn’t stay deep underground but moved just beneath the surface layer, constantly burrowing around.
Hence, Lord Zhenjin gave an early warning, allowing Hei Juan and the others to narrowly escape with their lives.
“My God!”
“What on earth is that Monster?”
“I almost died…”
Those who survived were terrified by the close call.
Two more Bed Crossbows stood in place, but Hei Juan and the others dared not approach them again, fearing another sudden attack by the Underground Giant Worm. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
They weren’t soldiers, just mercenaries and crewmen, lacking the spirit of devotion and sacrifice.
The key issue was the Underground Giant Worm’s attacks were utterly unpredictable and impossible to guard against.
Zhenjin pressed his palm against the ground, slightly opened his mouth, and emitted an ultrasound once again.
“Found it!”
The next moment, Zhenjin was both shocked and furious as the direction of the Underground Giant Worm was not the remaining Bed Crossbows but strikingly the central wooden cabin.
Cang Xu, Zi Di, and others were hiding in the central wooden cabin.
“Zi Di, Cang Xu, run out now!” Zhenjin yelled urgently before rushing towards the cabin.
Zi Di, Cang Xu, and others, who had been observing the situation outside, saw the Underground Giant Worm and heard Zhenjin’s shout. Without any hesitation, they all ran out the door.
Boom!
They had just run out, about twenty steps away from the cabin, when the Underground Giant Worm launched another attack.
The cabin had been repaired and reinforced, but under the attack of the Underground Giant Worm, a small half of it collapsed instantly.
Zhenjin, together with Hei Juan, hurriedly went to meet Cang Xu, Zi Di, and others.
Zhenjin continued to charge toward the Underground Giant Worm, but the latter ran off again.
So cunning!
The nature of the Underground Giant Worm seemed different from other Silver Magical Beasts: it liked to ambush and disliked direct confrontation.
Seeing Zhenjin fail again, Hei Juan loudly suggested, “Lord, the camp can’t hold any longer. Let’s break through quickly!”
Zhenjin shook his head, not discouraged, his predicament only further ignited his fighting spirit, “Hei Juan, you take charge of the breakout, protect the lives of Zi Di, Cang Xu, Mu Ban, the shipwright, and the others. They are extremely important.”
Zhenjin detected with ultrasound that the Underground Giant Worm was attacking the Bed Crossbows again.
This time, the young knight didn’t miss.
While the Giant Worm was devouring the Bed Crossbow, he thrust his sword deeply into the body of the worm.
The Giant Worm didn’t even tremble as if it was not the one that was stabbed, and, taking the thin sword Silver Lightning with it, it retracted back into the ground.
“Where, where is my sword?!” Hei Juan was dumbfounded.
This instead drew a rebuke from Zhenjin, “Aren’t you leading them to breakout yet!”
“Let me handle it!” Zong Ge arrived at this moment, “Where is it?”
Zhenjin no longer paid attention to Hei Juan and bent down, pressing his palm against the ground, his face grim, slightly shaking his head: “The Divine Arts within me are rapidly depleting. I’m increasingly unable to see clearly — wait, straight ahead, thirty-eight steps!”
Zong Ge hurried over there, and the Underground Giant Worm emerged again.
This time, it tried to attack an isolated wounded person.
The isolated wounded person smartly rolled forward, dodging the Underground Giant Worm’s assault.
Zong Ge slammed his hammer down, hitting the head of the Underground Giant Worm.
But the Half-Beast’s face changed slightly as he felt that the target area was greasy and soft; the Bone Hammer’s attack was significantly weakened by the Giant Worm’s slick, fatty appearance.
Zong Ge’s expression grew solemn, and he shouted to Zhenjin, “We’ve stabilized the front of the camp. We must kill this Underground Demon Beast!”
Zhenjin was still half-kneeling on the ground, seemingly using the power of Divine Arts to scout around, “There’s also a Blue Dog Fox Wolf that has infiltrated the camp.”
“I know,” Zong Ge nodded. It was because of Bai Ya and others supporting the front of the camp that he knew this news. Moreover, with the appearance of the Underground Demon Beast, Zong Ge could no longer sit idly and rushed to support Zhenjin.
Zhenjin continued to concentrate, using ultrasound to scout.
As he was in human form and there were people around, Zhenjin could not exert his full strength with ultrasound.
Simultaneously scouting underground and above ground also greatly reduced the efficiency of the ultrasonic detection.
The strength of the Underground Demon Beast lay in its underground movement, attacking without any warning beforehand.
But under Zhenjin’s ultrasound, its movement trajectory was revealed.
Zhenjin and Zong Ge’s cooperation was not their first.
Back when they cleared the bat monkey horde, they had cooperated once to handle the Silver Bat Monkeys.
Now, closely coordinating, after just a few times, their cooperation became even more tacit.
Every attack of the Underground Giant Worm was preempted by Zhenjin, then Zong Ge rapidly moved in for the kill, attacking continuously.
Although the White Bone Giant Hammer’s attack was weakened by the Giant Worm’s exterior, the increased frequency of the attacks made the injuries of the Underground Giant Worm more severe, noticeably slowing its movements.
Zhenjin’s predictions thus became even more accurate, and Zong Ge’s strikes yielded more results.
After repelling the Underground Giant Worm three more times, the Demon Beast turned and fled, burrowing deep into the ground, leaving the camp, and disappearing from the edge of Zhenjin’s scouting.
Yet, flames spread throughout the camp.
“The fire, it’s on fire!” someone noticed, shouting loudly.
“It’s that Blue Dog Fox Wolf, it’s carrying a torch, setting fires everywhere,” Zhenjin got up. He had noticed the trace of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf earlier but had ignored it.
The Underground Giant Worm had to be dealt with.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf setting fires, without attacking others, was in Zhenjin’s view, also a good thing.
This was akin to sacrificing the camp, buying precious time.
As long as people were still alive, the camp could be rebuilt.
“I’ll deal with it, you go to the front,” Zhenjin said.
“Don’t overdo it. You’re unarmed now,” Zong Ge glanced at Zhenjin, his brow furrowed.
Awoo—!
Just then, a wolf howl came from the direction of the main gate.
“Another Magic Beast is attacking!”
“The second Blue Dog Fox Wolf has appeared!!”
Shouts erupted from the direction of the main gate.
Clearly, knowing that the Underground Giant Worm had fled, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf played its last card, launching the final assault.
Zong Ge’s brow furrowed even deeper.
The battle had reached its endgame.
Three Bed Crossbows in the camp had been destroyed by the Giant Worm, the little giant was bathed in blood, severely wounded, and unable to walk. The reserve force of the camp was finished.
Almost all their fighting strength was concentrated at the main gate, fighting until now, equally exhausted, their overall combat strength at its lowest.
Zong Ge had to prevent these people from fleeing.
Mercenaries and crew members were not regular troops, and even regular troops would flee.
The impact of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf setting fires was evident; not only the camp was being burnt down, but it also threw people into disarray.
Morale was very low.
Without a powerful figure to suppress the scene, these people might start deserting.
As soon as one deserter appeared, a second and third quickly followed, likely leading to a rout in the blink of an eye.
Of course, by now, the Demon Beast Army had suffered even heavier losses.
However, the overall strength of the Demon Beast Army was still stronger, and they still had the strength to launch one final charge.
“I must rush back, but here…” Zong Ge hesitated in his heart.
Lord Zhenjin snorted coldly at him, “Lack of weapons is no excuse for avoiding battle. It is my prey; yours is over there.”
Zong Ge shuddered inside, the knight youth before him no longer had his usual cleanliness; his face was grimy, and his blonde hair was even mixed with wood chips.
However, those blue eyes of the youth, reflecting the surrounding firelight, displayed an undeniable resolve and determination to kill.
This was the determination of a warrior!
Zong Ge looked into those eyes, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze.
“This kid, he truly is a man!” Zong Ge praised in his heart.
This was a gaze exchanged between men!
Men don’t need pity or caregiving, those are for the weak. What men need might just be trust.
“Let’s go.” Zong Ge smiled slightly, his deeply furrowed brow suddenly smoothing.
He brushed past Lord Zhenjin, “If the situation turns dire, I’ll lead my men to retreat. It’s not worth dying fighting these beasts! You are a worthy opponent, don’t die; I plan to spar with you again.”
Lord Zhenjin glanced at Zong Ge and snorted coldly.
The two of them turned away from each other, gradually started walking, then began to run.
One ran toward the main gate; the other ran straight towards the fire-setting Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
“Come on, I’m right here!” Soon, Lord Zhenjin appeared in front of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, provoking it deliberately.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf dropped the torch it held in its mouth; by this time, the camp was already ablaze on all sides.
It didn’t see the thin sword that had wounded it, but was still very cautious, attempting to attack Lord Zhenjin.
Lord Zhenjin continuously retreated, drawing the Blue Dog Fox Wolf into the central wooden house.
The central wooden house too caught fire and burned vigorously.
A man and a wolf almost confronted each other in a sea of flames.
The burning walls and billowing smoke obscured everyone else’s sight.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf, seeing Lord Zhenjin trapped, also seemed to think that Lord Zhenjin wanted to perish together by using the surrounding environment.
The next moment, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf roared, attacked directly from the front, rushed forward a few steps, and, with force, leaped into the air, diving down towards the slender-bodied youth.
This was the most skilled and ferocious way of attacking for the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
It aimed directly for the vulnerable throat of the youth, its sharp teeth flashing with cold light!
Lord Zhenjin watched as the Blue Dog Fox Wolf lunged towards him but stood motionless in his spot.
The next moment, a surge of red light emerged, and the Heart Core mutated him.
Just as the Blue Dog Fox Wolf was about to bite Lord Zhenjin’s throat, suddenly its vision darkened!
Lord Zhenjin’s head transformed into a crocodile’s, his mouth opening wider than the wolf’s muzzle of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, and he bit down in one gulp, capturing the entire head and even the neck of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf in his mouth.
Blue Dog Fox Wolf: ??!!
If it were a person, it would certainly be shouting in its heart, “I, I’ve been bitten? Who bit whom?”
The neck and head of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf were tightly clenched between the crocodile’s teeth. The eyes of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf stared straight ahead, directly catching sight of something brewing in Lord Zhenjin’s throat.
hei… tui!
The next moment, a stream of emerald Acid Liquid burst forth from the throat, spraying all over the face of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf had no time to close its eyes, and the Acid Liquid corroded its eyes, bringing intense pain that made it howl miserably while its limbs frantically scratched at Lord Zhenjin’s body.
Lord Zhenjin stood proudly in place, unmoving.
His body was made of bear bones and bear meat, covered with a scorpion shell.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s own claws were bleeding, but they only managed to scratch through the crocodile head Hammer-tailed boa leather armor worn by Lord Zhenjin, at most leaving white marks on the scorpion shell.
Then, Lord Zhenjin extended his hands, which mutated into those of a Monkey-tailed Brown Bear.
Demon energy surged wildly in the Heart Core, and Lord Zhenjin’s fingers turned red, like iron melting in a furnace.
Lord Zhenjin plunged his hands into the body of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf. Despite being a Silver Magical Beast, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had no chance of resisting.
Lord Zhenjin felt as if he were piercing through cardboard paper; with just a little effort, he punctured through.
His entire palms deeply embedded into the body of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
Yet, a more ruthless attack followed!
After breaking through the defense with his bear hands, Lord Zhenjin’s fingers mutated again, this time into the limbs of a Blade Spider, rapidly growing within the body of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
The next moment, glittering blades shot out from the body of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, piercing through its heart and spine.
The blades clanged against each other, emitting several crisp sounds.
Blood spurted out, and the body of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf trembled violently. It continued to claw at Lord Zhenjin, but its strength rapidly weakened, and soon its scratches felt more like caresses.
A few breaths later, Lord Zhenjin released his bite, and the Blue Dog Fox Wolf fell to the ground, motionless.
Its face was unrecognizably corroded by the acid, with the eyes suffering the most damage, yet they were still preserved.
Lord Zhenjin’s Acid Liquid was merely of Black Iron Level.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf was dead.
It seemed like it wanted to howl or leave some last words, but Lord Zhenjin’s teeth had been tightly clamped on it, and at most, it could only whimper, emitting a mournful scream.
Its eyes wide open, it seemed unwilling to accept its fate, appearing extremely shocked.
Its gaze seemed still fixed on Lord Zhenjin, as if making a ruthless accusation, as if forming a human sentence — “Are you f-ing human?!”
Firelight and thick smoke covered everything.
A red light surged from the Heart Core, forming a bloodline that covered the body of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf disappeared, turning into a pile of carbon powder.
The central cabin collapsed thunderously, forming the largest bonfire, while Lord Zhenjin’s whereabouts were unknown.
