CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: ANGER OF THE BULL, SLAYING THE BEAST KING

"Mental Control Skill?!"

On the giant eagle, Lee Zhen and the others were also very surprised.

This skill likely belongs to the Corpse-Eroding Beast’s mutated skills, as there’s no record of such a skill in its lineage.

A Beast King’s skills can mutate, which is not unusual, otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to dominate and ascend to the throne.

Although there is no record, the effect can basically be guessed, which is to remotely control these skeletons to form and fight.

"We probably can’t win." Lee Zhen knew very well in his heart.

After being controlled again, the skeletons’ combat power increased, although far from the strength of the Corpse-Eroding King, they excel in...

having infinite life.

...

Lee Zhen’s guess was right.

The four spirit beasts each smashed a skeleton, but with just a snap of the Corpse-Eroding King’s fingers, all these skeletons regenerated.

The advantage in numbers disappeared at this moment.

Seeing the delight in the Corpse-Eroding King’s pupils, Lin Chen finally understood.

It consumed its kin not just to grow stronger but also to leave behind bones here, transforming them into its weapons.

Lost in thought, the Corpse-Eroding King launched a counterattack, commanding the skeletons to fight around it.

Almost in an instant, the tide turned.

The Panlin Python and Mooncrown Beast dared not get too close to the Corpse-Eroding King, their fighting strength greatly reduced, they could only fight some skeletons and clear small enemies.

Thus, Xiaobai and the Lightning Cat got embroiled in a fierce battle.

After a little while, Xiaobai’s skill cooled down again, and with a cry to the sky, it unleashed the Soul-Calming Hoof once more.

The Corpse-Eroding King, always wary of Xiaobai’s move, immediately pulled a skeleton to block, then spat out a Corrosive Shell straight at Xiaobai.

It saw that Xiaobai was the strongest combat power.

Xiaobai tried to dodge with speed, but the Corpse-Eroding King had been planning to eliminate Xiaobai first.

It had already generated a skeleton in Xiaobai’s path.

Xiaobai’s speed was instantly hindered, with the Corrosive Shell now within arm’s reach.

Lee Zhen and Huang Xiaotian in the air couldn’t stay seated any longer and wanted to intervene directly.

Unexpectedly, the Lightning Cat reached them first, pushing Xiaobai away...

Bang~~

Although the Corrosive Shell didn’t hit directly, the Lightning Cat was already unconscious, foaming at the mouth.

It was poisoned.

"Kitty!" Bai Jiajia’s face turned pale with fright, and the Little Fox was also scared, hiding behind Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, however, consoled, "It should be fine, just inhaled some gas."

Though it was a guess, there was no way he could let Bai Jiajia enter the battlefield.

Xiaobai rose and steadied itself, seeing the Lightning Cat unconscious for saving it, its pupils turned red.

It quickly ran over, using its horn to toss the Lightning Cat onto its head, carrying it away from the battlefield, delivering it to Bai Jiajia.

At this time, Lee Zhen and Huang Xiaotian landed, with the latter saying, "It’s enough."

The Corpse-Eroding King was not only at level 12 but also had this abnormal skill, making it difficult for Lin Chen and the others to win.

Lee Zhen checked the Lightning Cat’s wounds, telling Bai Jiajia it was not a major issue, and took out a potion to clean it.

"Thank you, thank you..." Bai Jiajia’s face was as white as paper, tears streaming down.

Just when Lin Chen was about to speak, he felt Xiaobai’s overwhelming battle intent.

"Moo!!!"

A roar from the Plowhorn Beast, followed by a complete frenzy.

It wanted to fight!

To personally defeat this Beast King!

To avenge the Lightning Cat!

Lin Chen didn’t disagree, and he said to Lee Zhen, "One last time."

Lee Zhen and Huang Xiaotian frowned, thinking Lin Chen was too stubborn; did he have some ultimate move left?

Without the Lightning Cat, their fighting power would only weaken.

Lin Chen surveyed the field and loudly shouted, "Qin Hao, Sun Guang... assist me!"

"Okay!"

Both were already prepared.

Even though deep down they also felt they couldn’t win.

However, they believed in Lin Chen even more...

This person, with the power of a bull, brought them here, breaking all impossibilities.

Now, they believed there could be miracles in this world.

Lin Chen commanded the Three-Headed Spirit Beast to attack together, during the Corrosive Shell’s cooldown.

The Three-Headed Spirit Beast progressed, the skeletons constantly blocking their...

death

revival

death

revival

...

again and again.

As the Corpse-Eroding King’s Corrosive Shell was about to cool down, and the other two beasts were about to leave the battlefield, Lee Zhen and Huang Xiaotian prepared to act again.

Lin Chen looked at Qin Hao, pointed to the bones on the ground, and said, "Can your spirit beast clean up trash?"

Qin Hao was taken aback, quickly thinking, and since he was the most in contact with Lin Chen, he understood him the best and soon grasped his meaning. He shouted:

"Panlin Beast... grow big quickly!"

The Panlin Python released its second skill: [Spirit Snake Metamorphosis], rapidly elongating and enlarging its body.

It did not use its first skill but instead swept its tail, directly sweeping away the skeleton bones on the ground, clearing the way ahead!

Xiaobai leapt high, the Panlin Python lifted its head, using its body’s strength to send Xiaobai even higher.

It watched Xiaobai leap into the sky, its pupils full of hope...

Come on!

Plowhorn Beast!

With the whole team’s hopes, charge!

...

"Moo!!"

The bull’s head bellowed in mid-air, leaping a great distance, charging forward.

The Corpse-Eroding King was shocked to see Xiaobai rushing in, trying to control the skeletons to regenerate, only to realize Xiaobai’s path had been cleared by the Panlin Python.

It immediately shifted to the second plan, intending to pull over the other two still-surviving skeletons.

However, they were tightly bound by the Mooncrown Beast.

"Squeak!!!"

The Corpse-Eroding Beast was shocked, beginning to use the Corrosive Shell to hinder Xiaobai’s progress.

But Xiaobai had already calculated the timing, it suddenly stomped on the ground...

Soul-Calming Hoof!

Immediately after, the bull pressed on without pausing, initiating its combined skill.

This time, the Corpse-Eroding King had no skeletons to help block, couldn’t dodge at its speed, and its Corrosive Shell was forcibly interrupted.

"Moo!!"

Niu Niu roared a second time.

Niu Niu was very angry, and the consequences were severe!

Its four hooves raised rolling dust, head lowered, bull’s horns sharp as a war halberd, gleaming coldly.

Flames of rage and determination burned in its eyes.

Its iron hooves crushed the gale’s ashes, as it reappeared as a black lightning, fiercely hitting the suffering Corpse-Eroding King!

Crash~~

The bull’s horn viciously struck the Corpse-Eroding King’s head.

This time, it left no reserve!

Crash~~

The Corpse-Eroding King’s head broke off with a crunch, flying tens of meters away.

Its body stood in place, then, under everyone’s gaze, slowly fell.

Xiaobai stood in place, panting heavily, covering its nose, its tail gently swaying, dust slowly settling, becoming the final victor!

...

"Hahaha, we won! We won!"

At that moment, the outcome of victory made Qin Hao and Sun Guang hug each other in excitement. The former even disregarded the Panlin Python’s jealousy, blowing a kiss to Xiaobai, saying:

"Xiaobai, you’re so cool!"

"Hiss~~"

"You’re cool too!"

"Hiss~~~"

"Equally cool, okay."

The bickering of one person and one beast finally awakened Lee Zhen and Huang Xiaotian, who looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other’s eyes.

Then, they smiled.

Recalling the old days, their spirit beasts were also like this, vibrant and believing their future was unstoppable.

This is the conviction a Beastmaster should have.

However, Xiaobai didn’t stay cool for more than three seconds and was now frantically shaking its head, tears about to fall.

The Corpse-Eroding King’s slime was so filthy!

Quickly let Niu Niu take a bath, or else its bovine life would have no hope!
