Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 337 - 334 What the Hell is This Again
Chapter 337: Chapter 334 What the Hell is This Again
“Damn, what is that?”
Behind them, the members of the caravan suddenly widened their eyes in utter disbelief.
Big Beard Bob was not only their deputy leader but also a powerful Golden Warrior. Even if he encountered a Giant Dragon, he shouldn’t have been eaten without any resistance, right?
Moreover, to be eaten in such an eerie manner by a Little Toad that wasn’t even as big as a fist.
Even though such an overturning event was happening right in front of their eyes, they found it hard to believe.
But whether they believed it or not, the fact had already occurred.
...
“Leader.”
From behind, a fellow dressed as a Mage rode up on a horse and whispered to the middle-aged man, “Perhaps, that Demon Beast knows Space Magic, I just sensed a bit of spatial fluctuation.”
“A Demon Beast that knows Space Magic? So small?”
The middle-aged man’s face was full of astonishment.
“Maybe it used Transformation Technique.”
The Mage said, “As you know, Transformation Technique can alter one’s form. I think that toad intentionally shrunk itself to deceive us. Perhaps its original form is very big, so you must not underestimate it, or you might suffer a great loss.”
“Hmm, I understand.”
The middle-aged man nodded, pulled out a broadsword from his horse’s back, pointed it towards Qin Feng, and demanded coldly, “Who exactly are you? Hand over Bob immediately, or else the hundreds of brothers behind me won’t let you off.”
While he spoke, those warriors from the Slave Catching Group crowded around him, each drawing their weapons, glaring fiercely at Qin Feng with a look that suggested they could charge at any moment.
In their view, no matter how bizarre Qin Feng’s methods were, they were only capable of dealing with a few individuals at most. With so many of them rushing forward, they could surely crush this damned youngster into mincemeat.
“Release him?”
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Qin Feng sneered, “That Big Beard was disrespectful towards me. I observed that he was full of resentment, probably not infrequently guilty of murder. Such a person deserves death, and killing him is justified.
Moreover, once something enters the belly of the Swallowing Sky Toad, how could it be easily expelled?”
In fact, the Swallowing Sky Toad had initially succeeded in its surprise attack, relying on its unexpectedness. Otherwise, although its Divine Powers could overpower the opponent, it wouldn’t have been so easy to take down a Golden Warrior.
After all, a Golden Warrior could combat a Golden Core Cultivator purely in terms of strength, though they were far inferior in other aspects.
Like Qin Feng, not to mention anything else, just his Divine Power, “Shrinking Ground to Inch,” could make him untouchable to all Golden Warriors, forcing them into a purely defensive position, with no way to lock down his form.
And the Swallowing Sky Toad, once it deployed Space Distortion, which of them could attack it?
Probably they could only hope to combat it once the Demon Power of the Swallowing Sky Toad was exhausted and it could no longer perform Space Distortion.
The Golden Warriors ultimately had too few strategies; they relied only on their Fighting Energy and War Skills to fight. If their War Skills were not powerful enough, they were even less considered by a brilliant Cultivator like Qin Feng.
Unless these warriors could reach the level of a Sword Saint and comprehend the Power of Laws to lock down their forms and break through their Divine Powers.
“You’re seeking death, kid!”
Seeing Qin Feng’s response, the middle-aged man immediately realized that a peaceful resolution was impossible.
However, he dared not approach Qin Feng rashly, lest he, too, be consumed by that unknown variety of Little Toad.
But he was experienced and well-versed in battle tactics, not without a way to handle this situation.
He then shouted to those behind him, “Spear Throwers, take him down!”
Following his order, dozens of Spear Throwers promptly pulled out their short spears from their horses’ backs and hurled them towards Qin Feng.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
A series of whooshing noises rang out, and soon, dozens of sharp short spears tore through the air heading towards Qin Feng.
It was clear that they intended to turn Qin Feng into a porcupine.
Qin Feng saw them, but was unwilling to withstand their attack head-on.
After all, there were many spears thrown by skilled warriors, and the fighting energy on the spears was no joke. If Qin Feng used defensive magic, he might not be able to withstand a joint attack from so many skilled warriors.
So he moved his body, flipped, and landed behind a large tree. He pushed the massive tree trunk, which was sent flying towards the incoming spears.
The spears thudded lightly, many stabbing fiercely into the tree trunk, and even a few spears shot by skilled warriors pierced through the trunk, continuing straight toward the back.
Qin Feng waved his sleeve, creating a gust of wind that knocked dozens of spears aimed at him to the ground.
“Fire again!”
The middle-aged man’s cold voice rang out, and immediately, dozens more spears were thrown.
“Isn’t this over yet?”
Qin Feng snorted coldly, “Do you think you’re the only one with people? I have helpers too.”
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged man’s face changed, and he ordered, “Defend, be cautious of enemies in the woods!”
He had been startled when Swallowing Sky Toad suddenly swallowed a Golden Warrior, which made him focus all his attention on Qin Feng. It was only upon hearing Qin Feng’s words that he remembered to be cautious.
As his command was issued, immediately, hundreds of people on both sides of the group raised their shields and lifted their weapons, being careful.
“Huh?”
Qin Feng was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing, “A bunch of fools, my helper is right here.”
Saying this, Qin Feng tossed Swallowing Sky Toad forward, toward the crowd.
Mid-air, Swallowing Sky Toad suddenly enlarged to the size of a house and plummeted down, crushing seven or eight horse-mounted warriors with its massive body, breaking bones and tendons— they were clearly not going to survive.
Then, with a flick of its long tongue, it swallowed a stunned, strong man along with his horse.
Qin Feng looked on, speechless.
Was this creature getting addicted to eating people?
In the past, Qin Feng deliberately suppressed it from eating people because, being human himself and having been taught by the Beast Taming Sect, he naturally didn’t want to see his Spiritual Beast eating people.
But things were different here. These outcasts from another world deserved their fate, and he didn’t care how these people died, especially since he’d allowed Swallowing Sky Toad to swallow Big Beard earlier to intimidate them.
Of course, it was also a punishment for Big Beard.
After all, trapped in Swallowing Sky Toad’s stomach, despite being a Golden Warrior, he wouldn’t die instantly and could resist Swallowing Sky Toad’s digestive powers for a moment with his robust fighting energy. If one were close enough, they could even hear Big Beard’s screams from the toad’s mouth.
That was why he only let Swallowing Sky Toad swallow those who did not possess the Power of Laws like the Golden Warriors; he wouldn’t dare do the same with individuals of the Sword Saint Level.
It wasn’t just that Swallowing Sky Toad couldn’t swallow such formidable beings, but even if it could, they could break out of the space inside the toad’s stomach, injuring Swallowing Sky Toad in the process—likely leading to its death as well.
“Kill it!”
Following the middle-aged man’s furious roar, several Golden Warriors led their troops, preparing to surround and kill Swallowing Sky Toad.
But before they could act, they heard another loud roar from Qin Feng’s direction.
Suddenly, a huge Fire Ape appeared, charging towards them.
At the same time, Soul Devouring Vine Demon was summoned by Qin Feng.
Although it moved slowly, its vines were long enough that being cut didn’t matter; it could continuously grow new ones.
Thus, it was perfect for dealing with the large number of ordinary warriors.
Seeing Qin Feng summon two more Demon Beasts, the middle-aged man’s brow furrowed as he turned to look at Mage Andor beside him, saying, “Andor, can you handle that Fire Ape?”
Mage Andor looked troubled, “I’m just a Magic Guide Master. I can handle an ordinary Level 7 Demon Beast, but considering the aura of that Fire Ape Demon Beast, it likely has the strength of a Level 8.
And that’s just its Fire Element Magic. Do you think I can handle it alone, given its size?”
The middle-aged man, seeing the Fire Ape about to pounce, said helplessly, “All right then, same old plan. I’ll lead the team to distract this powerful Demon Beast, and you attack from behind with magic. We must bring it down quickly.”
“I’ll do my best.”
Mage Andor agreed, then turned and rode his horse to the rear.
Close combat was the warriors’ domain; as a respected mage, it was better for him to stay behind and provide magical support from a distance.
“Roar…”
The Fire Ape swung its claws several times in quick succession, immediately sending huge fireballs crashing into the crowd, killing and injuring twenty or thirty of the Slave Catching Group’s warriors.
“Damn it, Andor, get moving and restrain it. Use water-based magic to douse its flames!”
The middle-aged man, who had just approached the Fire Ape, felt its intense fiery breath.
Though he could resist close-range attacks with his fighting energy, it would consume a lot more of his stamina.
“Water Tornado!”
Seeing this, Andor from behind didn’t dare delay and quickly cast his proficient Water Element Magic.
But before his Water Tornado could hit the Fire Ape, the Swallowing Sky Toad suddenly turned around and emitted a breath of cold air.
Crack, crack—the frigid air spread wildly, not only freezing the Water Tornado into ice, dropping it to the ground, but also freezing the ground along its path. Warriors and horses alike turned into ice sculptures.
Only a few somewhat stronger Silver Warriors managed to resist the Swallowing Sky Toad’s cold breath with their inner fighting energy, breaking free from the ice and escaping.
Their horses, however, weren’t as fortunate.
Andor was shocked; he hadn’t expected this giant toad to not only be proficient in Space Magic, but to also possess such powerful Ice Element Magic.
Then, something even more astonishing happened.
The densely packed star patterns on the back of the Swallowing Sky Toad began to emit strands of Star Light, as if a meteor shower had descended, overwhelming him.
Wherever it passed, both men and horses were pierced by the Star Light, emitting streams of fine blood mist, with numerous casualties.
“Ah… Water Barrier!”
Andor cried out in fright, quickly activating the Defensive Magic from his magic equipment, trying to fend off the Swallowing Sky Toad’s Star Light.
At the same time, he waved his Magic Wand, activating the Water Dance Thousand Blades from the magic core at the tip, hoping to counteract the Star Light while attempting to slay the Swallowing Sky Toad.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of the Star Light. Before Water Dance Thousand Blades could reach the Swallowing Sky Toad, the Water Barrier around him was shattered by countless Star Light impacts, turning him into a sieve, his body erupting in bursts of blood mist.
Without the mage’s spiritual power control, the Swallowing Sky Toad easily jumped aside, dodging the Water Dance Thousand Blades and continued to wield the Star Light back and forth in battle.
It must be said, its use of Star Light in group combat was tremendously powerful.
Especially against those warriors of average ability, at most at the Bronze Level, it easily shattered their sparse fighting energy, reaping lives with each sweep of Star Light.
For a strong creature against weaker ones, it was simply simple, akin to crumbling dry weeds, hardly encountering any meaningful resistance.
Only those above the level of Silver Warriors possessed some capability to resist.
But with the death of the mage, they completely lost the ability to remotely attack and restrain both the Swallowing Sky Toad and the Fire Ape, inevitably being overwhelmed by these two massive, magical, and formidable close-combat Demon Beasts.
The Swallowing Sky Toad was one thing, relying more on spatial distortions to dodge the warriors’ attacks, but the Fire Ape was a true close-combat expert.
Not to mention its enormous body, five fathoms tall, endowed with infinite strength. A casual punch could turn a warrior into a puddle of flesh, and a single stomp could create a pit several feet deep in the ground—the fate of any warrior under its foot was unimaginable.
If you then filled the pit with soil, it would straightforwardly serve as a grave.
The middle-aged man’s face looked terribly grim.
He hadn’t anticipated such enormous losses this time, nor did he expect the young man opposite to summon such formidable Demon Beasts. Not only had they killed his right-hand men in this brief moment, but even the only Magic Guide Master in the team had been killed.
In rage, he turned his gaze toward Qin Feng.
Then he realized, this young man was actually standing alone at a distance, watching them fight.
“Could it be?”
A thought rose in the middle-aged man’s mind.
He believed that this young man must be a summoner. Although he could summon powerful demon beasts to fight, his own strength was certainly mediocre.
If he could kill him, although the lost subordinates were irretrievable, as long as he brought the goods back, he would be able to recruit more people and rise again.
Thinking this, the middle-aged man bellowed, “You all continue to restrain the demon beasts, Romen, Bill, follow me and kill this boy. Once he is dead, his summoned beasts will be useless.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Upon hearing this, everyone, previously disheartened by the overpowering Swallowing Sky Toad and Fire Ape, suddenly felt a surge of hope.
Yes, as long as they killed the summoner, these summoned demon beasts would surely be sent away.
At a distance, Qin Feng, who had been quietly watching his spiritual beasts fight the enemy, heard the middle-aged man’s words. Seeing him approaching with two golden warriors, he suddenly laughed.
“To think I’ve been perceived as an easy target.”
Qin Feng reached out and grabbed the Sky Battle Halberd.
Then, without waiting for the middle-aged man to reach him, he raised the Sky Battle Halberd and performed “Azure Dragon Emerges from the Sea,” instantly transforming the halberd into an azure dragon that lunged towards them with bared claws and teeth.
“What the hell is this?”
The middle-aged man was perplexed.
How hooday he encountered such inexplicable attacks.
Bang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out. The golden warrior named Romen tried to knock away the suddenly appearing monster with his nail-headed hammer. Although he managed to knock the dragon’s head off course, he failed to guard against the dragon’s claw at his side, which slashed across his body and immediately severed half his neck.
This so-called dragon’s claw was actually one of the crescent blades on either side of the Sky Battle Halberd.
With the sharpness of the crescent blade, of course, it wouldn’t leave the fellow a chance to survive.
Before the middle-aged man could react, Qin Feng’s figure, which had been far away, approached rapidly. He simply took one step forward but appeared right in front of another golden warrior.
One of his hands shone brightly with golden light as he grabbed the golden warrior’s warsword while extending his index finger to stab directly into the opponent’s chest.
The Divine Power Golden Finger technique pierced through the golden warrior’s armor and penetrated his heart.
In almost an instant, Qin Feng had killed two golden warriors and then turned his attention to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man’s face paled dramatically, realizing that he was facing someone far beyond his ability to contend with.
Shock and fear surged in his heart, and he mentally cursed Bob, that damn direct relative, for provoking such a formidable person.
“Do you want to kill me?”
Qin Feng asked.
“No.”
The middle-aged man immediately denied, “I just… want to beg you for mercy, young sir. I am willing to offer wealth in exchange for my life.
Actually, I am a noble. I have nobility’s rights to a pardon, and I can exchange my wealth for my life.”
“Oh? A noble?”
Qin Feng looked at him with surprise.
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, “Yes, I am the second son of the Sena family from the Holy Thorn Kingdom.”
“Since you are a noble, you deserve to die even more.”
Qin Feng snorted coldly, “As a noble, yet committing such heinous acts, you must not be spared!”
