Chapter 18: Crisis! Encountering an Epic-rank ferocious beast!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was silence in Grant Forest.
“We are still some distance away from our target. Everyone, be careful.”
Rex reminded them.
With his King Kong Beast in tow, Giles remained extremely alert.
This was because in this forest filled with ferocious beasts, anything could happen.
As she walked beside Giles, Alina scanned the surroundings with her beautiful eyes.
Just then…
Bart suddenly said, “There seems to be a stalk of Blue Fruit Grass over there.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned in the direction that Bart had indicated.
It was a grass with a blue fruit growing on its tip.
“That’s right, it’s the Blue Fruit Grass.”
“It’s suitable for ice-type spirit beasts to consume. It can greatly improve the physique of spirit beasts and is very expensive on the market.”
“No wonder it’s Grant Forest. We obtained such a reward after we’ve just entered.”
Rex stroked his snowy beard and said, “But you have to be careful. There might be other ferocious beasts roaming about. Many ice-type ferocious beasts like to eat this type of grass.”
Just as Rex finished speaking, a blue beast leapt out of the grass.
It was a spirit beast that looked like a rabbit that looked like it was only at Silver-rank. It was currently baring its teeth at all of them.
Bart didn’t care. He grinned and let the Savage Blood Lion use its skill to kill the spirit beast.
Then, he walked over to pick the Blue Fruit Grass and put it into his backpack.
All of them continued forward.
Gradually, everyone picked up some valuable spirit herbs from time to time.
Even Giles harvested two red fruits, which humans could eat.
Consuming it over a long period of time could strengthen one’s physique. It wasn’t cheap either.
“I found another Green Snake Grass.”
“No, this area is full of them!”
Giles was looking around when Bart suddenly pointed ahead excitedly, catching everyone’s attention.
They followed Bart and saw the herb that looked like a green snake.
Green Snake Grass was the favorite herb of snake-type spirit beasts. It was also extremely valuable.
Not to mention the entire area in front of them was filled with it.
Bart was about to go up and pluck them when Richard stopped him and turned to Rex.
“Give me this plot of Green Snake Grass. My Epic-rank beast, Lava Python, needs them.”
At the same time, the Lava Python beside him was also exuding the aura of an Epic-rank beast.
Rex frowned and stared at Richard.
“Richard, aren’t you ashamed to snatch stuff from a junior?”
Richard’s expression froze. Then, with a wave of his hand, he said, “I’ll give each of you some compensation, alright?”
Then, he prepared to let the Lava Python consume the Green Snake Grass.
Seeing this, Rex had the Earth Barbaric Bear block the path of the Lava Python.
“Let’s talk about what the compensation is first.”
Richard looked annoyed.
“The cores of ten Gold-rank ferocious beasts per person should be enough, right?”
Rex nodded and got the Earth Barbaric Bear to move aside.
The inner cores of ten Gold-rank ferocious beasts per person were comparable to the large patch of Green Snake Grass in front of them.
Richard snorted and let the Lava Python eat the Green Snake Grass.
Everyone waited as well.
Just then…
Giles felt a faint vibration.
He quickly scanned his surroundings.
The next moment, he immediately shouted, “Watch out, a group of snake-like ferocious beasts are rushing over here!”
Richard looked at Giles unhappily.
“Isn’t it just a group of ferocious beasts? What’s there to be afraid of? With us two Epic-rank Beast Tamers around…”
Before he could finish speaking, the ground began to shake violently.
Then, the ground in front cracked.
Two giant pythons emerged from inside.
Rex’s face changed drastically.
“Epic-rank spirit beasts!”
“And there are two of them!”
Richard’s expression changed drastically as well.
“What the hell? There would be snake-like ferocious beasts gathered near the Green Snake Grass, but why are there Epic-rank ferocious beasts!?”
Just as he and Rex were ready for battle, another Epic-rank python emerged from the ground.
The third Epic-rank beast!
However, this was not the end.
The fourth Epic-rank beast appeared!
At the same time, numerous snake-type ferocious beasts rushed over from the surroundings, and amongst them were Bronze, Silver, and Gold ranks.
Ferocious beasts of various ranks were densely packed together, and rapidly surrounded all of them.
Seeing this, Rex and Richard’s expressions changed drastically, and they gave up on fighting.
“Quickly split up and run!” Richard roared. Then, he jumped onto the Lava Python and escaped.
Rex could not be bothered about Richard.
He got the Earth Barbaric Bear to grab Bart, and just when he was about to go and save Giles and Alina, Rex realized that the two of them had been surrounded by the four Epic-rank pythons.
Seeing this, Rex knew that it was impossible to save them.
Even if the Silver-rank spirit beast that Giles contracted could release attacks that far exceeded the Epic rank, there were four Epic-rank beasts here.
The moment he attacked, Giles would be killed by the other ferocious beasts.
Hence, despite his regret that he could not save Giles, Rex still led Bart out of the snake swarm and escaped.
Although the probability of success would be lower without Giles, his life was more important.
On the other hand, Giles looked at the Epic-rank pythons that had surrounded him and did not panic.
Beside him, Alina did not panic as well. She scanned the area, then smiled at Giles.
“We’re about to die. Is there anything you want to say?”
Giles shook his head.
“Is there nothing you want to say?”
Alina looked at Giles curiously.
“No, I meant that we’re not going to die.”
Giles’ affirmative answer stunned Alina.
“King Kong Beast, use your Giantize skill!”
The next moment, the King Kong Beast’s body shot up to ten meters tall.
On top of that, its fighting prowess was also enhanced.
“King Kong Beast, get rid of these ferocious beasts!”
Following Giles’ command, the King Kong Beast strode forward and faced-off the four Epic-rank beasts.
After using the innate Giantize skill, its strength had far exceeded the Epic rank. It was just short of reaching the Legend rank.
It was more than enough to deal with these ferocious beasts!
The King Kong Beast hammered its chest and roared.
Then, it charged towards the Epic-ranked beasts.
Although it was its first time facing an Epic-rank beast, it was not afraid at all.
This was because in the fictional world of King Kong, the mutated beasts it had fought were far more powerful than these ferocious beasts!
A moment later…
The King Kong Beast ripped the last Epic-rank beast in half. Its body was covered in blood.
With a furious roar, the other snake-like beasts in the surroundings immediately fled the area like stray dogs.
Crisis averted.
Giles looked at Alina.
“See, I told you we wouldn’t die.”
