nAfter the bellowing roar with unequaled ferocity, the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten in the air was stunned. Most of its consciousness became empty, and in its mind, there was only fear.
nA cyan spear shot across the void.
n
n
nThis long cyan spear was the Divine Wood Royal Vine Gun which Lil Wan hurl out with a successive wave at her tiny devilish hands while Tyrannosaur was roaring in rage. At Apprentice level, before she risen in stars, her third ability was Spawn Mutated Vines of Eternity.
nHowever, as she advanced into Dark Iron level and evolved into a Divine Wood Elf. This ability of hers had become the Divine Wood Royal Vine.
nAside from enabling her to summon the Divine Wood Royal Vine Whip, the Divine Wood Royal Vine ability also allowed her to summon the Divine Wood Royal Vine Gun and Divine Wood Royal Vine Armor. Among them, the Divine Wood Royal Vine Whip was the same as Spawn Mutated Vines of Eternity.
nBoth were abilities capable of attack and control.
n
n
nThe Divine Wood Royal Vine Gun was a pure attack-type ability. As for the final ability, the Divine Wood Royal Vine Armor was a support-type ability. When using this ability, she could quickly summon wooden armor with remarkable durability and place them around Ye Xuan, other people, or even Tyrannosaur.
nSwoosh!
nThe speed of Lil Wan’s Divine Wood Royal Vine Gun was astonishing. It was as if a streak of cyan lightning striking across the air. Before the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten could land on the ground, with a distinct ‘spllurgh’, her long spear pierced through the body of the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten who was in a half-fainted state, directly ripping a hole through its body.
nThen, with its bloodstained body, it was nailed deeply onto a giant tree more than ten meters away following a boom.
n
n
nRustle!
nThe verdant leaves of the giant tree fell like rain under the vibrating motion.
n“You…”
nAmid the scattered leaves, the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten who had regained its senses cast a deadly stare at Ye Xuan in front of it with protruding eyes. However, in just a moment, the vitality in its eyes quickly dissipated with the gradual loss of energy in its body.
nLike a monster that had lost its essence, qi, and spirit, it was beaten back to its original shape and rendered motionless.
nSwoosh!
n
n
nBut worrying that the fella was feigning death, just in case, Lil Wan, who loved to read dark-themed novels aside from regular books when she was free, manipulated the Divine Wood Royal Vine Gun that was pinning the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten to instantly morph it.
nTurning it into a long whip with extremely toughness, and like a massive yet agile green snake, constricting the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten and choking it forcefully.
n“Is this a beast the Silver Blood Clan dispatched to ambush me?”
nYe Xuan muttered to himself as he looked at the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten that was strangled into deformation within Lil Wan’s Divine Wood Royal Whip. Subsequently, without paying any attention to Song Jia who was frozen in front of him and had not recovered her senses, he walked up to the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten and inspected it carefully.
nHis vision and understanding of beasts were not top-notch.
nBut he could still tell at once glance that this Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten who managed to sneak past multiple obstacles and finally infiltrating this space he was in was no ordinary beast. If it was not that Lil Wan had evolved into an Ancient Wood Elf and the talent he had awakened to that allowed him to open up a Beast Lair, he would have really been in trouble.
n“It is true that we must be vigilant at all times.”
nYe Xuan took a deep breath. Inwardly, he thought that he could already attempt to form a contract with a third and fourth beast since he already became a Dark Iron Beast Tamer. The Tidal Treasure Snail, previously mentioned by the Elder of Arrays of the Spirit Secret Realm, that had the ability of spatial perception and could display the surrounding area into a tiny map should be a pretty great option.
n
n
nIf he had the Tidal Treasure Snail, this Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten might have already been discovered when it was still a few hundred meters away.
n“Thud!”
nAs Lil Wan sniped off the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten, Moroun, who was hiding on the branches of a giant bushy tree, suddenly stiffened and fell from the tree without indication.
nSmashing down many leaves.
nAnd with his fall, the strange, translucent bug on his head immediately tunneled back into his body.
n“Moroun!”
nSeeing this, the Silver Blood youngster in black clothes on the massive tree had his expression abruptly altered. He hurriedly jumped down from the tree and checked Moroun’s expression. However, as he examined him, he revealed an expression of great shock.
nHe knew that the third son of the chieftain of the Silver Blood Clan’s Boulder Ridge had already died before himself.
n“Dang it! Why did this happen?”
nHe clenched his fist and revealed an expression of horror. However, under such circumstances, he dared not to linger around any longer. He hurriedly grabbed Moroun on the ground and left with haste.
nRushing towards the Silver Blood Clan’s fortress.
n“Ye Xuan, what’s happened here?”
nAt the same time, on the other side, as the sound of Tyrannosaur’s unique bellow reverberated throughout the entire base camp. Beast Tamers of the Cerulean Planet rushed over in shock.
n
n
n“It’s nothing, just a beast from the Silver Blood Clan that came to ambush me. I killed it.”
nSeeing Gu Qinghe, Xu Canchan, and the rest of the people who rushed over, Ye Xuan pointed at the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten on the ground and said composedly.
n“Something like that happened?”
nGu Qinghe was shocked. He did not expect that under their tight defenses, a Beast Tamer of the Silver Blood Clan still managed to manipulate their beast to infiltrate their base camp.
nWhich even came right in front of Ye Xuan.
n“Are you alright then? Are you hurt?”
nGu Qinghe quickly examined Ye Xuan.
n“I’m fine, but Song Jia might have been frightened.”
nYe Xuan pointed at Song Jia not far away whose appearance had completely changed.
n“That’s Song Jia?”
nSeeing Song Jia in her extremely disorderly state, Gu Qinghe was startled. Due to her hair being completely different and the clothes on her which she never wore in the past, if Ye Xuan had not mentioned that it was her, he would not have recognized Song Jia.
n“I’m sorry, everything happened too quickly. I couldn’t react in time.”
nAt this moment, Song Jia finally regained her composure.
nDiscovering her current state, as her face dimmed, she roughly fixed her hair, uttered a few sentences to the crowd, and left in a jiffy.
nWhen she was leaving, she even deliberately maneuvered past a fake eyelash in the distance and stepped it into the dirt with her shoes.
n“Huhuh, the Silver Blood Clan sure is persistent.”
nAfter Song Jia left, Gu Qinghe who had heard Ye Xuan’s narration of the whole incident sneered and asked Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, what are your plans now?”
n“Plans?”
nYe Xuan knitted his eyebrows, “We should wait a little longer.”
n“Wait?”
nGu Qinghe raised his eyebrows.
nAccording to his thoughts, as celerity is the most important matter in war, this length of time would be the best opportunity for them to sneak up on the Silver Blood Clan.
nSeeing Gu Qinghe’s facial expression, Ye Xuan explained, “There will be a lot of traps in the Silver Blood Clan’s fortress. If we assault them, we will be at a disadvantage.”
n“Besides, for them to have deployed such a beast, they must be desperate in taking down our base.”
n“When they learn that this beast has perished over here, there’s a chance that they’ll approach immediately.”
n“Alright then!”
nHearing Ye Xuan’s explanation, Gu Qinghe pondered for a moment and said, “The Silver Blood Clan’s fortress is not too far away from us. In that case, let’s wait for two hours.
n“If they have not come after two hours, we will set out to attack them!”
n…
n“Moroun!”
nHalf an hour later, in the Silver Blood Clan’s fortress, Morodo watched as the youngster that went to the Ceruleans base camp with Moroun returned to their base and arrived before him while holding Moroun’s body.
nHe stayed where he was, stupefied.
nIn the meanwhile, everyone around him could seemingly feel the surrounding air becoming icy cold.
n“Ceruleans!”
nAfter a while, after inquiring about the cause and consequence, Morodo raised his head and yelled hoarsely as he looked in the direction of the Cerulean base camp.
n“Everyone, follow me!”
n“Vengeance!”
n“Retribution!”
nUpon seeing Moroun’s corpse, many of the Silver Blood Beast Tamers were infected by rage.
nAmid furious outcries, they took their own beasts and matched towards the Cerulean base camp along with Morodo.
n*Marching sound*!
nIn less than an hour, they arrived in front of the Cerulean base camp with great strength and vigor.
nThis time, the number of Beast Tamers they deployed to assault the Cerulean base camp was even greater than the last time.
nAmongst them, the King of Mountain Giants was in front of the entire contingent with a giant petrified tree in its hands.
nThe size of its body was no less than the shorter trees.
nWalking on the ground, with every step it took, a thunderous bang would be emitted.
n
