Chapter 209: Chapter 146: Struggle for the Unicorn, Xiaobai’s Deadly Strike (Part 2)
Seeing the battlefield situation had improved, Xiaobai and the Nine Tribulation Beasts were in serious trouble.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf was far stronger than them, with a gigantic body and claws glinting with icy cold light.
It let out a roar, the sound thundering across the forest canopy, initiating the attack first,
as the Nine Tribulation Beasts transformed into their evolved form to meet the enemy alongside Xiaobai.
Xiaobai unleashed a Soul-Calming Hoof, hitting the target precisely.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf was evidently careless, deceived by Xiaobai’s lower level, and after being hit by the Soul-Calming Hoof, it fell into a brief stupor.
Lin Chen and Fang You, seeing the opportunity, urged their Spirit Beasts to unleash their full power:
"Xiaobai!"
Xiaobai let out a cow’s bellow, and in an instant, Thousand Shadows Unification reached its maximum.
Fang You’s Nine Tribulation Beasts were not willing to be outdone; they had a special skill called: Blast Flame Body.
With each tribulation passed, the Blast Flame Body gained another level.
The current Nine Tribulation Beasts had passed two tribulations, so their Blast Flame Body was at Tier Two.
This Blast Flame Body means every attack contains Dark Force, which explodes on hitting the enemy.
The Nine Tribulation Beasts swung their fist with full power, combining it with Xiaobai’s Thousand Shadows Unification in Eternal Damnation Demon Horn state, directly charging at the Ghost Hunting Wolf.
All the students watched intently...
Yet the scene that followed left them aghast, as the Ghost Hunting Wolf, even in its weakened state, roared once more, activating its Beast King Bloodline, and black, shiny light appeared on the skin of the wolf body.
It forcibly withstood the dual skills of the two Spirit Beasts and retaliated.
It swung its claw fiercely; the Nine Tribulation Beasts took the first hit, flew back several meters, bleeding profusely.
Although Xiaobai reacted in time to dodge partly, its injuries were not light either.
Seeing this, everyone’s faces changed dramatically.
The gap between levels is indeed not something that talent alone can bridge.
...
Xiaobai and the Nine Tribulation Beasts did not give up; they readjusted their states, but the Ghost Hunting Wolf showed no sign of weakening, growing even fiercer.
It glanced at its own arm, finally enraged.
These two Spirit Beasts, so much lower in level than it, actually managed to wound it.
This was unforgivable.
"Awooo!!!"
It roared, lunging towards the closest Nine Tribulation Beasts.
The Nine Tribulation Beasts were indeed fierce beasts; after being suppressed, they immediately got up, their spirits invigorated, almost eager to undergo another tribulation on the spot.
However, the disparity in strength was plain to see.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf aggressively suppressed the Nine Tribulation Beasts.
Fortunately, at this moment, Zhang Suqing had her Spirit Beast, the Wild Boar Elephant, join the battlefield.
This woman’s strategy was very clear; she knew the best way to win against a beast horde was to capture the leader first.
The Wild Boar Elephant had a large stature, stronger melee capabilities; although its explosive power wasn’t as great as the Nine Tribulation Beasts, its presence greatly relieved the pressure on the battlefield.
Yet there was a missing beast on the battlefield.
It was Xiaobai.
...
Xiaobai, seeing its comrades in trouble, was about to rush to their aid but was stopped by Lin Chen.
"Rest in place." Lin Chen instructed, while surveying the surroundings.
Even with two students joining the fray, it was far from enough; the beast horde was too vast, and the students’ Spirit Beasts were already starting to falter.
If this continued, they were bound to lose.
Lin Chen understood this even earlier than Zhang Suqing, so he was waiting.
Earlier, Lin Chen had noticed that Xiaobai’s recent charge didn’t inflict a severe wound on the Ghost Hunting Wolf, but it did leave a mark.
In other words, Xiaobai was capable of injuring it.
Apart from this, there was another point — it hadn’t managed to strike the Ghost Hunting Wolf’s weak spot.
Lin Chen, widely read, had just recalled some records regarding the Ghost Hunting Wolf.
The Ghost Hunting Wolf was a rather well-rounded beast, capable both in offense and defense.
But this Demon Beast had a weakness, which was its weak waist.
Its waist was relatively more flexible, lacking adequate bone protection.
Lin Chen also noticed during the attack that the Ghost Hunting Wolf was constantly preventing Xiaobai and the Nine Tribulation Beasts from approaching its waist.
Watching Xiaobai resting, Lin Chen quietly said to the Unicorn in his hand, "Little Fatty, your life is your own, and this battle is also because of you, so you need to do something."
The Unicorn looked horrified.
In a fight, it probably couldn’t even beat Bai Ling’s Calamity-Devouring Beast; hopefully, Lin Chen wasn’t thinking of having it fight.
"Here’s what you do..." Lin Chen pointed at Xiaobai and began whispering.
Even though Bai Ling and Fang You were right beside them, they couldn’t hear a word.
After about ten seconds, the Unicorn nodded and scampered down from Lin Chen’s hand.
...
In those brief ten seconds, the Nine Tribulation Beasts and the Wild Boar Elephant endured endless seconds like years, as the Ghost Hunting Wolf, completely enraged, caused the Wild Boar Elephant to topple twice in just ten seconds.
The third time it shakily attempted to rise, but ultimately couldn’t manage it.
The Nine Tribulation Beasts managed to hold on for a while longer, but it was futile.
Fang You grew anxious; he didn’t understand what Lin Chen was planning.
Just then, Lin Chen spoke, "Xiaobai, it’s time!"
As this voice echoed, it drew everyone’s attention.
Soon after, they saw Xiaobai, having restored itself, get up, with an unusually determined gaze.
"Moo!"
It roared at the sky, as the Beast Power within it surged continuously.
Tier One Barbaric Bloodline!
Tier Two Barbaric Bloodline!
"It can still rise?!"
A student noticed.
Lin Chen’s Spirit Beast had always been a hot topic at the academy, with the controlled Barbaric Bloodline being well-known.
Yet everyone remembered that its Barbaric Bloodline could only use up to Tier Two.
In the end, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the color of Xiaobai’s bovine body shifted from pale red to deep red...
