Chapter 67 - Sniped
After 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.
A cyan spear shot across the void.
This 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 Sp.a.w.n Mutated Vines of Eternity.
However, 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.
Aside 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 Sp.a.w.n Mutated Vines of Eternity.
Both were abilities capable of attack and control.
The 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.
Swoos.h.!.+
The speed of Lil Wan"s Divine Wood Royal Vine Gun was astonis.h.i.+ng. 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.
Then, with its bloodstained body, it was nailed deeply onto a giant tree more than ten meters away following a boom.
Rustle!
"You…"
Amid 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.
Like a monster that had lost its essence, qi, and spirit, it was beaten back to its original shape and rendered motionless.
Swoos.h.!.+
But 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.
Turning it into a long whip with extremely toughness, and like a ma.s.sive yet agile green snake, constricting the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten and choking it forcefully.
"Is this a beast the Silver Blood Clan dispatched to ambush me?"
Ye 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.
His vision and understanding of beasts were not top-notch.
"It is true that we must be vigilant at all times."
Ye 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.
If 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.
"Thud!"
As 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.
Smas.h.i.+ng down many leaves.
And with his fall, the strange, translucent bug on his head immediately tunneled back into his body.
"Moroun!"
Seeing this, the Silver Blood youngster in black clothes on the ma.s.sive 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.
He knew that the third son of the chieftain of the Silver Blood Clan"s Boulder Ridge had already died before himself.
"Dang it! Why did this happen?"
He clenched his fist and revealed an expression of horror. However, under such circ.u.mstances, he dared not to linger around any longer. He hurriedly grabbed Moroun on the ground and left with haste.
Rus.h.i.+ng towards the Silver Blood Clan"s fortress.
"Ye Xuan, what"s happened here?"
At 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.
"It"s nothing, just a beast from the Silver Blood Clan that came to ambush me. I killed it."
Seeing 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.
"Something like that happened?"
Gu 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.
"Are you alright then? Are you hurt?"
Gu Qinghe quickly examined Ye Xuan.
"I"m fine, but Song Jia might have been frightened."
Ye Xuan pointed at Song Jia not far away whose appearance had completely changed.
"That"s Song Jia?"
Seeing 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.
"I"m sorry, everything happened too quickly. I couldn"t react in time."
At this moment, Song Jia finally regained her composure.
Discovering her current state, as her face dimmed, she roughly fixed her hair, uttered a few sentences to the crowd, and left in a jiffy.
"Huhuh, the Silver Blood Clan sure is persistent."
After 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?"
"Plans?"
Ye Xuan knitted his eyebrows, "We should wait a little longer."
"Wait?"
Gu Qinghe raised his eyebrows.
According 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.
Seeing Gu Qinghe"s facial expression, Ye Xuan explained, "There will be a lot of traps in the Silver Blood Clan"s fortress. If we a.s.sault them, we will be at a disadvantage."
"Besides, for them to have deployed such a beast, they must be desperate in taking down our base."
"When they learn that this beast has perished over here, there"s a chance that they"ll approach immediately."
"Alright then!"
Hearing 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.
"If they have not come after two hours, we will set out to attack them!"
...
"Moroun!"
Half 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.
He stayed where he was, stupefied.
In the meanwhile, everyone around him could seemingly feel the surrounding air becoming icy cold.
"Ceruleans!"
After a while, after inquiring about the cause and consequence, Morodo raised his head and yelled hoa.r.s.ely as he looked in the direction of the Cerulean base camp.
"Everyone, follow me!"
"Vengeance!"
"Retribution!"
Upon seeing Moroun"s corpse, many of the Silver Blood Beast Tamers were infected by rage.
Amid furious outcries, they took their own beasts and matched towards the Cerulean base camp along with Morodo.
*Marching sound*!
In less than an hour, they arrived in front of the Cerulean base camp with great strength and vigor.
This time, the number of Beast Tamers they deployed to a.s.sault the Cerulean base camp was even greater than the last time.
Amongst them, the King of Mountain Giants was in front of the entire contingent with a giant petrified tree in its hands.
The size of its body was no less than the shorter trees.
Walking on the ground, with every step it took, a thunderous bang would be emitted.
