Chapter 224: Fighting Fierce Beasts
Once the city walls of Mita City collapsed, the low-level Fierce Beasts behind would most likely swarm into the city.
However, the good news for Mita City and the two Emergency Response Teams was that there hadn’t been any King-tier Fierce Beasts.
King-tier Fierce Beasts were extremely rare. The Orvis Mountain Range was so large, and there were so many directions to choose from. Mita City was also unremarkable. The probability of a King-tier Fierce Beast pa.s.sing through Mita City was similar to winning the lottery.
If they encountered a Star Glory-tier Fierce Beast, it wasn’t as if a Platinum-tier Beast Master wouldn’t be able to put up a fight.
Of course, it would be best if they didn’t encounter one.
James’ Platinum-tier Rock Puppet stood at the front, while the other pet beasts began to attack the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses crazily.
The Rock Armored Rhinoceroses that had been attacked became even more furious. They accelerated, advancing one after another, charging crazily at the Platinum-tier pet beasts.
“Earth Fissure!”
Behind Elisa, the three-meter-tall clay pet beast was placed on the ground.
Along with the powerful earth energy fluctuation, the ground was torn apart.
On the ground, a ten-meter-wide crack was formed.
Although the Rock Armored Rhinoceros was heavy, upon seeing this crack, they could use the charging effect to jump up and easily fly over this ravine.
However, when they jumped up, all the flying-type beasts used long-range attacks.
Their Platinum-level pet beasts had consumed a lot of energy in the continuous battle, but many of the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses fell into the ravine.
Seeing that the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses were about to land, Elisa ordered again.
“Earth Swamp!”
The mud pet beast roared.
On the south side of the crack, an area of about 400 meters instantly turned into a soft mud swamp.
The more than 20 Rock Armored Rhinoceroses that were about to land directly plunged into the swamp, splashing mud and water everywhere, unable to move.
Just when everyone thought that this would be the end, the other Rock Armored Rhinoceroses had just landed when an area under their feet turned into a layer of rock, and they continued to run on the swamp.
However, their running speed had obviously slowed down.
“The Rock Armored Rhinoceroses of Orvis Mountain still live up to their reputation.” Elicia shouted, “John, freeze.”
A white light flashed on the body of an Ice Moon Elf beside John, instantly freezing the entire swamp into ice.
The Rock Armored Rhinoceroses that were running on the rocks were not spared. The ice also covered the rocks under their feet. Almost all of them did not slip on the ground.
The other Platinum-tier pet beasts took advantage of the situation to attack.
However, using such a large-scale skill still consumed a lot of Platinum-tier pet beasts.
In addition, there were still too many Rock Armored Rhinoceroses. Their defense was too strong, and they had a stubborn temper. They charged forward without a care for their lives.
Although they lost two to three hundred of them under the siege of Platinum-tier pet beasts, they broke through the ice swamp.
One of the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses rammed into the Rock Puppet, causing the Rock Puppet to retreat for a distance. However, following that, groups of Rock Armored Rhinoceroses rammed into the Rock Puppet, causing the Rock Puppet to fall to the ground.
However, the Rock Puppet was not seriously injured. It lay on the ground and punched the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses with its rock fists.
One punch could shatter the rock armor on the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses. Two punches could seriously injure one.
Countless hard rock spikes appeared on the ground and attacked Elisa’s Platinum-level pet beast.
One of the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses stared at the flying Platinum-tier pet beast in the sky with its blood-red eyes. It opened its mouth and shot the sharp rock spikes into the sky. The other Rock Armored Rhinoceroses also used rock spikes to attack the flying pet beast in the sky.
Once the rock spikes formed a scale, they would be like dense arrows.
However, James and the others had succeeded.
The charging speed of the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses were not as fast as before.
More than ten Rock Armored Rhinoceroses jumped through the cracks and broke through the ice swamp.
They broke through the encirclement of the flaming wind blades and ran through the layers of obstacles to a blood-red land.
Many of the rock armors on their bodies were missing. Some of them were incomplete and their bodies were still scalded with blood.
The ground, of course, was not blood-red.
It was because there were countless blood-red vines here.
The eyes of the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses were red. They did not care about anything else, and directly rushed into the blood-red vines.
The blood-red vines instantly waved, wrapping around their feet and their bodies.
One of the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses encountered an obstacle, and struggled forward.
Two Gold-tier Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines were even forcefully dragged out of the ground by it.
However, soon, more blood-red vines tied it up tightly.
The Rock Armored Rhinoceroses let out a loud cry. Pink sprouts began to appear from the wounds on its body. Its blood-red eyes instantly exploded, and more sprouts grew from the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines.
The sprouts of the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines began to crazily suck the flesh and blood of the Rock Armored Rhinoceros. Not long after, the Rock Armored Rhinoceros was only left with broken rock armor and pink bones.
The parasitic creatures in its body slowly devoured its flesh and blood. This kind of death was cruel and painful.
The newly-born Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine once again sprouted flower buds and bloomed beautiful blood-red flowers. The air was filled with a sweet smell.
More than ten Rock Armored Rhinoceroses never came out once they entered the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine.
James and the others took some time to turn their heads. When they saw this scene, their faces were also filled with shock.
John took a deep breath and said, “That thing of Lugh’s is like a Gold-tier pet beast army. It’s very strong in battle.”
Even their Platinum-tier pet beasts found it difficult to defend against more than a dozen Rock Armored Rhinoceroses that were running at full speed.
The battle wasn’t over yet.
There were more than a dozen Rock Armored Rhinoceroses that were surrounded by five Platinum-tier Beast Masters.
However, many of the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses didn’t charge into the sea of blood vines. Instead, they exploded right away. Pink sprouts grew on their injured bodies, but the enraged Rock Armored Rhinoceroses continued to charge forward.
When as many as thirty Rock Armored Rhinoceroses charged into the blood vine sea, the branches of the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine began to struggle.
Seeing that the distance was about right, Mita City’s Deputy Guardian, Cook, said loudly, “All Gold-tier Beast Masters, attack the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses and cooperate in battle. Be careful not to harm the plants!”
“Understood!”
How could they possibly harm those plants?
Countless Gold-tier pet beasts landed outside the South City Walls of Mita City and began to block the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses.
Many Gold-tier pet beasts were injured, but at this moment, Beast Masters had no choice.
If it was a group of Rock Armored Rhinoceroses, their Gold-tier pet beasts might very well be trampled to death.
However, if there weren’t many Rock Armored Rhinoceroses, they would be able to relax a little.
Especially since more than half of these Rock Armored Rhinoceroses were blind.
The Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine’s ability to spread pollen was rather random.
The Rock Armored Rhinoceroses were completely wrapped in stone armor. The strong wind they carried when they ran could easily blow the pollen away.
There would always be a portion of the lucky Rock Armored Rhinoceroses that weren’t infected.
On the city wall, the Gold-tier Beast Masters began to jump down one after another, cooperating with the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine to kill the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses.
Right at this moment, Lugh felt a violent tremor on the city wall.
Following that, there was a loud rumble, and John, who was standing not far from him, had a drastic change in expression.
“Oh no, the city wall is broken.”
Lugh looked down. A Rock Armored Rhinoceros that was much larger than its kind had plunged into the city wall.
There were also many Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines tied to its body.
With just a glance, Lugh had already detected the strength and talent of the Rock Armored Rhinoceros.
Top-tier Gold.
It had a rare strength and defense talent.
The head of the Rock Armored Rhinoceros extended into the city wall. The soldiers inside the city wall raised their energy guns and shot at it crazily.
However, the energy guns among them were useless.
The Rock Armored Rhinoceros roared loudly and dragged the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines to branch out. It squeezed out a four-meter-tall hole and directly drilled into the city.
The other Rock Armored Rhinoceroses that had not lost their vision also swarmed toward the hole when they saw the moving mouth.
Once a large number of Rock Armored Rhinoceroses squeezed into the hole, the hole would become bigger and bigger.
John shouted loudly, “Don’t care about that Rock Armored Rhinoceros. Block the hole first.”
John was very calm. It did not matter if hundreds of people died. The most important thing was that the city wall could not fall.
However, could they really block the entrance of the cave when faced with the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses that were like a heavy tank?
At this moment, Lugh, who was standing beside him, turned around and jumped down from the hundred-meter-high city wall.
Lugh saw the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses stomp down two soldiers and start attacking the others. The civilians who lived nearby began to flee frantically.
A soldier fell to the ground. Looking at the Rock Armored Rhinoceros’ huge feet, his eyes were filled with despair.
At this moment, Lugh descended from the sky.
“Violent Bear Paw!”
He punched the Rock Armored Rhinoceros’ back.
The Rock Armored Rhinoceros’ armor shattered like gla.s.s.
“Bang!”
With a loud sound, the sky was filled with shattered rock armor and flesh.
Lugh stepped on the blood-red ground. The hard concrete ground under his feet had long exploded, exposing the blood-red soil.
With one punch, the Rock Armored Rhinoceroses with strong defense was directly blown up by him and broke into two pieces.
