Chapter Forty: Spirit Beasts

There are four mythical beasts in "Legendary World": Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. They are based on the Four Symbols and are named as follows: Azure Dragon in the East, White Tiger in the West, Vermilion Bird in the South, and Black Tortoise in the North.

For every spirit beast they defeat, their guild will receive a small spirit beast, similar to a pet, as a reward. Don't underestimate this small spirit beast; by gathering the four spirit beasts, the guild's combat value will greatly increase, which will play a crucial role in their acquisition of "Alice's Miracle"!

Today they are going to fight the Western White Tiger of White Lotus Mountain. The Western White Tiger is named after the seven stars of the west: Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Zi, and Shen, which resemble tigers. Among the four sacred beasts of China, the White Tiger is another one often mentioned alongside the Azure Dragon. The tiger, as the king of beasts, is also considered a yang-type divine beast due to its ferocity and legendary ability to subdue ghosts.

“Since it belongs to Yang, we’ll build the Blade of Destruction. Hua Hua, you’ll assist me and build the same equipment as me. If you don’t have the Blade of Destruction, then you can use the Chiffon Blade instead. Build the other equipment the same as me.”

"good."

"Shorty, heal me instantly, give me a buff, and revive me."

“Read it silently, and wait until the very end to lure it out so we can attack it from behind.”

"Guqiong, you've been following the emperor around, grinding monsters and giving us experience."

"All the monsters have 200 HP, the boss has 4000 HP, and every ten monsters will spawn a mini-boss with the same HP as before..." Gu explained the strategy for fighting the monsters before attacking the spirit beast.

"This is easy! Just give him a dozen or twenty headshots and he's done!"

The emperor said with great confidence.

“That’s right. These small monsters and mini-bosses weren’t too difficult to defeat. Leave them to Guqiong and the Emperor.”

Once everything was ready, everyone went into the dungeon together. There were over twenty mobs right away, which was no problem for the Emperor, but Guqiong was having a bit of a hard time. Fortunately, the Emperor was kind to her and took most of the damage, so Guqiong still had more than half of her health left, while the Emperor only suffered some minor injuries, which were nothing to worry about! And the little dwarf quickly restored their health.

"Thank you, my wife, I love you."

"vomit……"

"Thank you, short sister!"

"Shorty sister? That's strange~ I'm not that short, hehe."

After defeating the mobs, there's a mini-boss. Although it's a mini-boss, it's still quite difficult to defeat because getting the crystal isn't easy!

"Your Majesty, you handle this. I believe you can!"

"no problem!"

The emperor unleashed a powerful attack that swept the mini-boss into the air, controlling its abilities. Then, less than 0.5 seconds later, he unleashed a devastating attack! Instantly killing it!

"Your Majesty, that was a really smooth move! How come I never realized you were so capable before?!"

"I'm ranked fourth on the PK leaderboard, you know! I just haven't shown you my true strength yet, hmph!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my husband is the best!"

"Finally, we can fight this big thing! It's pure white, radiating spiritual energy, with sparkling crystals on its head. Its white fur is like the finest silk, shimmering with a healthy sheen—it's truly beautiful."

"She's so beautiful, I don't even want to hit her anymore. Let's not hit her anymore," Gu Qiong pitifully expressed her true feelings.

“If we don’t fight, someone else will! She’s only come out once in a long time, and we need to collect all the crystals before Alice’s scepter comes out. Hurry up, Guqiong.”

"Um... okay."

"Let's attack the white lotus next to us first, and the spirit beasts will naturally notice us,"

Sure enough, as soon as they attacked Bai Lian, the spirit beast pounced. Yi Gu quickly stepped forward and used the Ice and Snow move to slow down the spirit beast's attack speed. Di Ruhua followed closely and used Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens. It only lost one-twentieth of its health, which made everyone panic. The ultimate move would have to wait for a while, and the damage it would take during that time would be too high. Before Jiang Hua could react, the spirit beast slapped her with its palm, and Di Ruhua lost one-third of her health.

"If this continues, the gang leader will be killed in no time."

"Yeah, this spirit beast is way too hard to fight! Maybe we should just exit the dungeon and try again next time!"

"Let's try again! Silent Reading, you lure it out a bit, then back off, don't let it hurt you too much. The rest of you use your ultimate skill to increase its cooldown. Drawing, you and I will attack it from behind."

Di Ruhua and Yi Gu circled around behind the spirit beast, preparing to attack.

"Paint, you attack its crystal."

Yi Gu relentlessly attacked from behind, while the spirit beast, unable to attend to either side, unleashed a powerful, circular attack, reducing everyone's health by nearly half. The white tiger's cooldowns were now longer, and Yi Gu increased his attack speed, causing the white tiger itself to lose a significant amount of health as well. Suddenly, the spirit beast threw Jiang Hua off, and just as its attack was about to land, Yi Gu swiftly stepped forward, shielding Jiang Hua from the damage. Then, he plunged his dagger into the white tiger's groin, causing the white tiger to vanish, and its crystal to fall to the ground.

"Guqiong, quickly go and collect the crystal."

Everyone had only a few drops of health left, and now only Gu was the most seriously injured. That last critical hit was really too damaging. Fortunately, Jiang Hua was alright. If that hit had hit Jiang Hua, she would have been dead.

[Gang] [The Emperor's Little Dwarf] That last hit was absolutely devastating! If all of us combined couldn't withstand it, we'd be dead!

[Gang][Silent Reading] Yeah, yeah, we didn't know its damage was so high. The monkey dungeon we ran together last time didn't have such high damage. It truly lives up to its reputation as a spirit beast.

[Gang] [Gu Qiong] Gu Dashen, are you alright? The way you shielded our guild leader was so cool!

From the moment Yi Gu stood in front of Di Ruhua until the end of the instance, Jiang Hua was still in shock. It was too dangerous. As the palm strike was about to come, Jiang Hua was already thinking, "It's over... It's really over this time." She was about to give up when she didn't expect Yi Gu to block it for her, risking the danger of being killed even though she knew she might be.

[Gang] [Di Ruhua] Thank you so much, Master Yi Gu! If it weren't for you, I would be dead!

[Gang] [One glance] It's okay, you're so stupid anyway!

[Gang] [Emperor Ruhua] You...

This was the first time Gu Yiming had ever called her stupid, and his tone sounded just like Gu Yiming's! Every time Gu Yiming explained a math problem to Jiang Hua, he would call her stupid.

[Gang] [The Emperor's Little Dwarf] Tsk tsk tsk, Gang Leader, Master Gu, have you two already started flirting?
