Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 438 - 384: Advancing to the Top 5

The team’s configuration has no inherent advantage or disadvantage; everything depends on strength and teamwork coordination.

Upon seeing the opponent’s setup, Bear Chen immediately began assigning combat tasks.

"Qi Wu, your Scorpion-Tailed Devil Tiger will hold off the opponent’s Giant Power Demon Ape. Qi Wen, your Mud Demon will take on those two Agile Attack Element Guardian Beasts. Chu Chen, have Shadow Kill deal with that Dark Demon Vine. Su Yu, your Greenwood Flower is responsible for healing and dispelling control. I’ll handle that Black Demon Pig. Does anyone have any objections?" Bear Chen spoke rapidly.

The four of Chu Chen shook their heads in unison.

At this moment, Liu Jiangnan had also set up her tactics.

As the referee announced the start of the match, both teams charged at each other simultaneously.

Shadow Kill was the fastest, but it did not charge directly at the opponent. Instead, it used Stealth and Mimicry to hide.

Under the dual enhancement of Talent, Liu Jiangnan and her team could not perceive Shadow Kill’s location at all.

To force Shadow Kill out, one would have to cover the entire arena with flames, like the Burning Sea Bird, but since this arena was five hundred feet wide, accomplishing this was an impossible feat.

Shadow Kill’s disappearance made Liu Jiangnan’s team instantly nervous. They stopped charging and instead surrounded the Dark Demon Vine, forming a defensive formation.

Bear Chen, seeing this charge, instead of slowing down, began to accelerate.

Obviously, he planned to scatter the opponent’s formation in one go.

The Black Demon Pig let out a roar, lowering its head to reveal its weapon.

A pair of tusks about a yard long charged straight at the Earth Burst Bear.

Seeing this, Bear Chen immediately had the Earth Burst Bear slow its charging speed. He didn’t want to see his Guardian Beast skewered into a bloody gourd.

The Earth Burst Bear, whether in size or power, was much stronger than the Black Demon Pig.

After just one encounter, the Black Demon Pig staggered from a slap by the Earth Burst Bear. Before it could regain its footing, Shadow Kill appeared beside it, sending a dark golden blade gleaming straight for its neck.

Just then, a black vine appeared beside Shadow Kill, directly wrapping towards it like a Giant Python-like vine.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but smirk. He had anticipated this situation earlier; breaking through quickly in a team battle isn’t that easy.

If Shadow Kill continued its attack, it would surely be entangled by the vine, with the best outcome being an exchange of one for one.

Of course, Chu Chen wasn’t foolish enough to make that trade. Shadow Kill’s insect wings fluttered slightly, and its figure flickered and disappeared again from everyone’s sight.

The Earth Burst Bear’s paws kept landing, and the Black Demon Pig was repeatedly forced to retreat.

At this time, the Scorpion-Tailed Devil Tiger had already matched up against the Giant Power Demon Ape. The Scorpion-Tailed Devil Tiger possessed the rare attributes of poison, magic, and beast, while the Giant Power Demon Ape only had magical and beast rare attributes.

The strength of the two beasts was simply not on the same level. After just two moves, the Giant Power Demon Ape was firmly suppressed by the Scorpion-Tailed Devil Tiger.

Seeing this, Liu Jiangnan’s expression immediately became grim. The gap in individual strength was too great; victory could only be achieved through seamless teamwork.

A few pitch-black vines stealthily shot towards the Earth Burst Bear, instantly binding its legs.

Bear Chen wasn’t alarmed by this; it was a team battle, and he had teammates too.

Just as the Dark Demon Vine attempted to exert more control over the Earth Burst Bear, a dark golden blade light slashed down, severing two thick vines.

Liu Jiangnan’s face became even grimmer. She had been targeted by the opponent.

Their Guardian Beast was extremely fast, and its stealth capability was exceptional. The Dark Demon Vine was tightly constrained by the opponent, leaving her unable to provide support. Now, she could only place her hopes on the Shadow Leopard and Shadow Fire Fox.

At this moment, two shadows bypassed the Earth Burst Bear and the Scorpion-Tailed Devil Tiger, heading straight for the back towards the Greenwood Flower.

The Mud Demon seemed to sense something, quickly turning into mud to protect the Greenwood Flower at the center.

Seeing this, Chu Chen did not retreat to assist but instead charged towards the Dark Demon Vine. The Mud Demon had strong control capabilities and belonged to Elemental Life, making it nearly impossible to kill.

With how troublesome the Mud Demon was, it wouldn’t have much difficulty holding off two Guardian Beasts for a short period of time.

The Dark Demon Vine seemed to sense danger. Eight vine-like Giant Pythons coiled tightly around the trunk, forming what looked like a massive trap. If Shadow Kill attacked rashly, it might end up being completely entangled.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Shadow Kill did not attack the main trunk of the Dark Demon Vine but rather targeted the vine that had the ability to regenerate.

The vine’s regenerative ability is akin to Nirvana’s Limb Regeneration; there is a price to pay for regeneration.

Attacking the trunk posed a significant risk, having to dodge attacks from eight vines simultaneously, but attacking the vines only required dealing with two or three vines at most, reducing the risk considerably.

Shadow Kill flickered continuously around the Dark Demon Vine, cutting a vine with each appearance.

"Swish, swish"

Shadow Kill’s attack speed increased rapidly. The Dark Demon Vine couldn’t complete its regeneration before its vines were cut, and its aura began to plummet.

Shadow Kill suddenly flickered beneath the trunk of the Dark Demon Vine, slicing its trunk in two at the waist.

Before Liu Jiangnan could react, the referee had already transferred the Dark Demon Vine out of the arena, and staff immediately began treatment.

One had to say that the life force of the Dark Demon Vine was extremely tenacious; even with its trunk severed, it did not immediately die. After treatment, it was restored to its peak state.

Seeing this, Liu Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief, the anger in her gaze towards Chu Chen dissipating in an instant.

After Shadow Kill took care of the Dark Demon Vine, without their reinforcement, the Black Demon Pig and Giant Power Demon Ape were steadily beaten back, their defeat only a matter of time.

Shadow Kill bypassed the two beasts’ battle and charged toward the Mud Demon’s position.

At this time, the Mud Demon was under joint attack by the Shadow Leopard and Shadow Fire Fox, its body having reorganized countless times.

If not for the continued healing by the Greenwood Flower, it would probably have been defeated long ago.

The Mud Demon was a water and earth dual-element Guardian Beast, and the Shadow Fire Fox’s fire element attacks restrained it greatly.

Fire could significantly reduce the Mud Demon’s abilities, and the Dark Element had highly corrosive properties.

The Mud Demon not only had to hold off two beasts but also protect the Greenwood Flower, a highly challenging task for it.

Fortunately, Shadow Kill arrived just in time, and its first target was naturally the Shadow Fire Fox, which posed the greatest threat to the Mud Demon.

The Shadow Fire Fox didn’t dare be careless, immediately using its Racial Secret Technique, a dense flame spreading rapidly in all directions.

But this flame was nothing compared to the Burning Sea Bird’s, and Shadow Kill charged directly through the fire curtain without hesitation, slashing onto the Shadow Fire Fox and sending it flying, rendering it completely combat ineffective.

At this moment, a green glow enveloped Shadow Kill, and the insect wings and insect armor scorched by the flames were visibly regenerating.

The one who intervened was the Greenwood Flower.

Shadow Kill didn’t stop, moving swiftly towards the Shadow Leopard again.

A few moments later, the five Guardian Beasts of Black Ink Academy were successively teleported out of the arena.

Cyan Dragon Academy successfully advanced to the top five, and the academy’s honor was thus preserved.
