CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: VIOLENCE! COMBINED SKILL ACHIEVED

"We made it!"

It was a teammate of Ning Zimo speaking.

His Spirit Beast was the same as Wu Lei’s.

The first skill was hand-crafted fireball.

As for the second skill, it was Enhanced Strength.

Its sudden appearance changed the battle situation once again.

.....

"Two Magic Beasts..."

Lin Chen was frustrated, they were just about to win...

Looking back, the Spirit Beast that was supposed to be against the Fire Monkey, Sun Guang’s, was now lying there with blackened fur.

It did its best, it’s not its fault.

As for the Panlin Python, it was covered in wounds but still struggling to hold on.

"I’m sorry." Sun Guang gritted his teeth.

They were just supposed to hold them off.

The Snow Lion escaped successfully and immediately became incredibly vigilant. The two beasts joined forces and started pressing down.

You throw a fireball, I throw an Ice Blade, playing with Xiaobai’s bull head like a toy.

Lin Chen turned back to look at the Panlin Python...

It seemed to be struggling too.

But Bai Jiajia seemed to have noticed Lin Chen’s thoughts. She stood up and said, "Lightning Cat, go."

The Lightning Cat trembled, thinking the Beastmaster was sending it to its death?

Unexpectedly, Bai Jiajia said, "Help the snake hold off their giant alligator."

The Lightning Cat immediately rushed off. Though injured, it still had some fighting power.

Lin Chen then turned back and started using Mind Communication with Xiaobai.

"At this rate, we’ll definitely lose."

"To defeat them, we must break them one by one."

"Moo~~"

Xiaobai responded.

It didn’t even have a moment to spare.

"Combined Skill..."

Lin Chen said.

Xiaobai immediately understood.

Right.

A Combined Skill.

Only a Combined Skill could succeed.

The current situation was such that Xiaobai could only dodge madly with the speed of Iron Horn Impact, and if it wanted to charge towards the others, it would be blocked in various ways.

It had to rely on its immense speed to get close, use Soul-Calming Hoof to daze them, and launch an attack to break through in one blow.

But...

Xiaobai had never succeeded!

...

"It’s okay, just risk it once. If we fail, I’ll concede immediately."

Lin Chen communicated mentally with Xiaobai.

Xiaobai nodded, realizing that continuing like this was a slow death, better to take a gamble.

"Still not giving up?" Ning Zimo and Lee Zhen were puzzled, thinking Lin Chen was trying to watch Xiaobai suffer?

In the jungle, the Snow Lion and Fire Monkey unleashed their skills once more. Xiaobai’s Iron Horn Impact finally cooled down and burst forth again.

Boom~~

It smoothly dodged the skills of the two beasts and then charged fiercely at the Fire Monkey.

The Fire Monkey was shocked and quickly climbed a tree, then leapt to another one, trying to evade.

The Snow Lion cooperated tacitly, trying to block Xiaobai’s path with its breath.

Who would have thought Xiaobai suddenly turned its bull head...

A feint!

Everyone could see it.

For Xiaobai to win, it needed to finish them off one by one.

The Snow Lion took a step back, spitting an Ice Blade for defense.

But this time, Xiaobai dodged...

Leaping high into the air, it lifted its foot and stepped down hard on the ground.

Boom!

Soul-Calming Hoof activated!

At the moment the shockwave erupted, Lin Chen also grew tense.

Could they succeed?

Experts say that beasts, like humans, can unleash potential during battle.

Under Lin Chen’s intense gaze, Xiaobai’s bull hoof lifted again, not stopping at all, continuing to run!

At this moment, both Lin Chen and Xiao Hong were delighted.

They did it!

Bang!!

The shockwave from the Soul-Calming Hoof collided with the Ice Blade, exploding fiercely.

Though they canceled each other out, Xiaobai had already dashed past the explosive area, charging at the Snow Lion.

This time, the two beasts were only ten centimeters apart...

Seeing the massive bull head, the Snow Lion knew, this time...

No one could save it!

...

Pa~~~

One second later, the Snow Lion flew horizontally away and crashed to the ground, directly unconscious, stunning the entire crowd.

Everyone was shocked, not knowing how Xiaobai did it.

However, the keen-eyed Protectors above were all surprised.

"Combined Skill?!" Lee Zhen was very surprised.

A Combined Skill wasn’t unheard of, but the lower the Spirit Beast Level, the harder it was to achieve.

Xiaobai’s two skills theoretically couldn’t combine.

But Xiaobai did it.

Those were surprised were surprised, those were joyful were joyful, but the battle wasn’t over.

The Fire Monkey saw the Snow Lion fall and wanted to take advantage of the situation, but it previously wanted to widen the gap. Now, trying to close the distance quickly was impossible.

Xiaobai took this chance to catch its breath, and by the time the Fire Monkey approached, it was ready to fight again.

Finally, the Fire Monkey was also dazed by the Soul-Calming Hoof and pummeled by Xiaobai’s hooves.

Lin Chen looked at the other battlefield and found that this time Qin Hao and Bai Jiajia’s Spirit Beasts were doing particularly well, mercilessly beating the opponent’s giant alligator.

Exactly.

Can’t beat it one-on-one, but two-on-one can work.

"We won!"

"We won!!"

Sun Guang and the others were so excited that they wanted to hold hands and celebrate in a circle.

But the entire first team found it unbelievable that Lin Chen’s Spirit Beast...

Was this a Plowhorn Beast?

A Low-level Mortal Beast?

Semi-Support Class?

At this moment, their perceptions were completely overturned.

"So, how was it?" Lin Chen asked at the right time.

The other three were silent, all looking at Ning Zimo.

They all knew the biggest impact was definitely on Ning Zimo.

"After all this, what do you think?" Ning Zimo sighed.

Mother was right, this world is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Not to underestimate anyone, not to discard anything.

With a humble heart, one sees there is always a sky beyond another.

Finally, Ning Zimo raised a hand and said in front of all the Protectors:

"I, Ning Zimo, captain of the first team... concede!"

...

Lin Chen simply tended to the bull head, while the others calmed their emotions.

Even now, they felt like they were dreaming.

Lin Chen, however, was examining the bloodlines of these Spirit Beasts:

[Snow Lion]

[High-level Mortal Beast]

[Dominant Bloodline: Snow Lion 43.33%, Ice Crystal Beast 12.22%, Frost Beast 9.87%]

[Hidden Bloodline: 16.6%]

[Polluted Bloodline: 17.98%]

Indeed a supreme grade, no wonder he’s a man worth a hundred thousand in a month...

No wonder everyone says pure-blood Spirit Beasts are controlled by major forces, never reaching the public.

Lin Chen mused, secretly collecting, then reached towards the hoof where there was monkey blood:

[Fire Monkey]

[High-level Mortal Beast]

[Dominant Bloodline: Fire Monkey 63.43%, Molten Flame Beast 22.27%]

[Hidden Bloodline: 4.13%]

[Polluted Bloodline: 10.24%]

Though it’s a bit low, it’s still worth keeping.

Lin Chen’s standards had risen, after all, he’d encountered quite a few beasts.

"Let’s go." Lin Chen woke the three still celebrating, the Little Fox almost done treating Xiaobai’s wounds.

As they passed Ning Zimo, Lin Chen stopped, while Qin Hao and the others were a bit embarrassed.

Uh...

Again?

"I just want to give a suggestion..."

Lin Chen hadn’t even begun to cast his spell before being interrupted, Ning Zimo not even looking up, gritting teeth and saying:

"I understand, as long as no one else enters, I’m second. Thank you for your suggestion."

"...."

Everyone was speechless, Lin Chen neither blushing nor ashamed, directly walking inside, Xiaobai and Xiao Hong confirming their thoughts...

Their Beastmaster was indeed a good person, facing opponents and still giving suggestions.

You see, he even thanked him.

Once Lin Chen and his team were completely gone, Ning Zimo said let’s go.

"What a pity, if we’d joined forces from the start..." the Fire Monkey team member sighed.

"Not a pity." Ning Zimo said seriously:

"Even if we tried ten more times, he’d still win."
