Chapter 86 Chapter 86 [It is afraid that the other party will even bite its feet...
There was a sinister glint in Lu Cheng's eyes, a hint of success.
He said no more, leaped back a distance, and summoned his main spirit beast at the same time.
A [Shadow Leopard] with a sturdy body, fur as shiny as black satin, and a wisp of silver hair on its forehead.
As soon as the Shadow Leopard appeared, it blended into the light and shadow of the forest, appearing and disappearing, exuding the fierce aura of a peak Earth Rank. It was obvious that its strength should not be underestimated.
"Jiang Qing, his Shadow Leopard has extremely strong speed and stealth capabilities and is good at sneak attacks." Huo Qiushan reminded him in a low voice with a hint of worry in his tone.
Jiang Qing nodded and signaled the three people from Huoqiu Mountain to retreat and clear the battlefield.
"Tianba." She called softly.
Zhu Tianba jumped off her shoulder and landed silently.
It looked at the Shadow Leopard on the opposite side that was ready to attack, then turned back to look at Jiang Qing, tilted its head, as if asking how far the fight would go.
"Quick battle, quick decision." Jiang Qing said concisely.
Lu Cheng sneered, "A quick victory? Just what I want! Shadow, Stealth, Tearing Claws!"
After the order was given, the Shadow Leopard's figure completely disappeared into the air, with only an extremely weak energy fluctuation approaching rapidly.
After the order was given, the Shadow Panther's figure completely disappeared into thin air, with only a very weak energy fluctuation rapidly approaching.
Huo Qiushan and others held their breath and concentrated on sensing the changes on the field.
Jiang Qing and Zhu Tianba's reactions were beyond everyone's expectations.
Jiang Qing stood still, not even his eyes changed.
Zhu Tianba simply... yawned.
Just as the Shadow Leopard sneaked up to Zhu Tianba's side, its sharp claws were about to break through the air, bringing up a sharp wind blade.
A huge black shadow slowly stepped out from behind Jiang Qing.
No...it's more accurate to say that it exploded from within Zhu Tianba's seemingly petite body.
Zhu Tianba's body expanded rapidly in the black and gold light, like a blown-up balloon, and it seemed as if some size restriction had been released.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.
The dappled sunlight that originally shone through the shade of the trees was completely blocked out. A huge shadow covered the entire clearing in the forest like a curtain, and was still spreading rapidly outward.
The trees were like grass under its feet, and every time its huge hoofs landed, the earth groaned under the heavy burden.
The black shadow expanded rapidly, covering the sky and the sun in an instant, and the world beneath his feet seemed to have become an insignificant ant.
The cute little pig Tianba has now transformed into a black and gold mountain of flesh.
Its body was tens of meters tall, several times larger than that of a sow. It was muscular and covered with thick scales of black and gold. Each scale shone with a shiny luster. The small vest given by Pansha also grew larger, fitting tightly to its body.
Zhu Tianba’s head almost touched the low-hanging clouds, and his amber eyes were like two small suns, looking down at everything tiny below.
A terrifying pressure swept across the entire venue, even the air was frozen.
That is the pressure from a top predator.
In an instant, a mixture of various source forces including water, ice, rock and fire swept over.
“Plop—”
Lu Cheng, who was the first to be hit, instantly froze the grim smile and ruthlessness on his face, turning into shock and horror.
Under that god-like gaze, he felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible giant hand. His legs softened uncontrollably and he was so frightened that he fell to his knees. His face was as pale as paper, his lips trembled, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
He looked up at the huge monster that occupied his entire field of vision. His mind was blank, and only endless fear and absurdity remained.
"This... this... is the... pig you raised?!" He used all his strength to squeeze out these words from between his teeth, his voice trembling.
Jiang Qing stood next to Zhu Tianba's giant hoof that was like a pillar of heaven, and her figure looked particularly petite.
She raised her hand and patted Zhu Tianba's ankle, which was as rough as rock.
Then he looked at Lu Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground in a state of utter disgrace, nodded, and confirmed in a calm tone: "It's genuine."
“…”
The scene was completely silent.
The members of the Fourth Academy had already collapsed to the ground, and their spirit pets' ears had stood up in fear. They couldn't even think of running away, and were left with only instinctive trembling.
Huoqiushan and two members of the school team were stunned and shocked when they saw Zhu Tianba’s completely liberated body.
High in the sky, the referee aircraft responsible for monitoring the game also obviously stopped for a moment, as if even the referee was stunned by this sudden scene.
Help!
Why bother it for no reason?
This was the only thought in the minds of all the members of the Fourth Academy present.
The shadow leopard brought by Lu Cheng was shocked by the terrifying pressure the moment Zhu Tianba transformed and was forced to break out of stealth mode. It crawled on the ground, trembling, making a whimpering sound, and did not even dare to raise its head.
Zhu Tianba lowered his head, and two streams of hot air blew out of his huge nostrils, blowing Lu Cheng's hair back wildly and almost suffocating him.
Its disdainful eyes locked onto him instantly, as if it was thinking about where to strike.
Lu Cheng was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue testing.
He took out a needle of reagent from his pocket and stabbed himself in the arm desperately.
The thruster was halfway injected when he pulled it out again and turned around to stab the Shadow Leopard.
Jiang Qing noticed his action and frowned slightly, but his expression remained calm as always.
After the injection of the reagent, the Shadow Panther's expression showed a brief moment of pain, and then became manic.
The Shadow Leopard's body twitched violently under the effects of the potion, its muscles twisted and swelled unnaturally, the blood vessels under its fur bulged like worms, and its eyes instantly became bloodshot and turned crimson.
It let out a painful roar that was not like that of a leopard, saliva dripped uncontrollably from between its fangs, and its breath was released at an unreasonable speed, briefly breaking through the shackles of Zhu Tianba's [Town].
"roar--"
The mutated shadow leopard kicked the ground with its four limbs, creating a small hole in the ground. Its figure turned into a twisted black line, and it rushed straight towards Zhu Tianba's giant hoof with a purer speed and violent power.
Its sharp claws were wrapped with wisps of black and red aura, and wherever it passed, everything around it was contaminated like a plague.
Lu Cheng was close to going insane at this point. The drug tortured his body until he collapsed to the ground. He collapsed to the ground, twisting and wriggling while letting out a mad, hideous laugh: "Kill it, Shadow, kill it!"
Facing the shadow leopard that was also rushing towards it madly, a hint of hesitation flashed in Zhu Tianba's eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and he lowered his head and tried to look at Jiang Qing.
If it fights this thing, will it really not be infected with any virus?
It was afraid that if it stepped on it, the other creature would bite its foot.
Just thinking about it makes Zhu Tianba feel sick.
So, it turned around, and every step its huge body took made the people present feel as if the earth was shaking.
Zhu Tianba's tail swung slightly. The movement seemed unintentional, but it hit the black and red figure rushing towards him with incredible precision.
“Snap—”
A crisp thumping sound echoed through the woods.
The menacing black and red figure flew backwards at a speed even faster than when it came, like a kite with a broken string, crashing into seven or eight sturdy trees in succession before finally falling to the ground, tumbling a few times before becoming limp and motionless.
The black and red aura on the Shadow Leopard quickly dissipated like a punctured balloon, revealing an even more miserable appearance underneath.
There were multiple fractures all over his body, his skin and fur were damaged, he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he was only breathing out but not in.
The scene fell into deathly silence.
The members of the Fourth Academy were completely frozen, forgetting even to tremble, with only boundless fear and despair in their eyes.
The grim smile on Lu Cheng's face completely froze, his eyes filled with disbelief and confusion, and he kept muttering, "How... is it possible..."
That is the highest concentration of diluted variant extractant.
Although it is not safe, according to their research, it can at least enhance the abilities of spirit beasts by more than 80%.
Zhu Tianba shook his tail in disgust, as if he had just whipped away something dirty.
It lowered its head, and its huge pupils focused again on Lu Cheng, who was lying limp as mud.
Jiang Qing walked slowly forward, walked in front of Lu Cheng, looked down at him with cold eyes: "You and your cousin are worthy of being a family."
She held out her hand: "Scoreboard."
Lu Cheng trembled all over, looking at the slender hand in front of him that carried invisible pressure, and then looked at the mountain-like Zhu Tianba next to him. The last bit of luck was completely shattered.
Trembling, he took out his points token with great reluctance and handed it over.
Jiang Qing took it, without even looking at it, and threw it to Huoqiu Mountain behind him.
"Crush it."
Huoqiushan took the token and without hesitation, exerted force with his five fingers.
“Crack!”
The token shattered with a sound and turned into tiny points of light that dissipated.
[Lü Cheng, commander of the Fourth Beastmaster Academy, failed in his challenge to Jiang Qing, a key member of the Fifth Academy. His points token was destroyed and he was eliminated.]
[Fifth Beast Taming Academy's total points +160.]
[Total score of the Fourth Beastmaster Academy - 160.]
After four consecutive broadcasts, everyone in the stadium instantly understood what was happening.
The challenge failed, and Lu Cheng and his half-dead pet were directly teleported out of the competition field. The rest of the Fourth Academy team fled or were "eliminated".
The Fourth Academy can no longer make any waves.
The successive defeats have caused the entire college team to feel depressed, especially when they suffered the worst defeat at their home ground.
"Clean up the battlefield, let's go." Jiang Qing instructed the school team members behind him, turned around and left.
Zhu Tianba's huge body was once again shrouded in light, shrinking rapidly, and soon turned back into the harmless appearance of a creature wearing a small vest, and lightly jumped back onto Jiang Qing's shoulder.
It even rubbed her cheek comfortably, making two "kang kang" sounds, as if the giant beast just now had nothing to do with it.
Huo Qiushan quickly followed up, "Just now, when you two were fighting, Lu Cheng's injection of the drug was captured by the drone at the arena. I guess after the competition, the referee will launch a special investigation into the Fourth Beastmaster Academy."
Jiang Qingqing said "hmm" and was not too surprised by this.
In order to win, or for some ulterior motives, these people have begun to use any means necessary.
After bidding farewell to the group of people from the Fourth Academy, Jiang Qing began to continue to go deeper into the Chongyue Realm according to the approximate range of the possible existence of the beast core source power provided by Chen Ming.
Wearing that small vest, Zhu Tianba could walk on complex terrain as if it were flat ground, and his perception of earth and stone elements became more acute.
It would stop from time to time, paw the ground with its hooves, or sniff the air, trying to find the last trace of the beast core source power.
"Can you feel anything?" Jiang Qing asked.
Zhu Tianba tilted his head, carefully sensing for a moment, then shook his head in frustration. "The 'stones' here are saying so much, so much... They say things have been unsettling in the mountains lately, with a lot of unfamiliar 'smells' and... a kind of 'darkness' that makes them uncomfortable."
"Darkness?" Jiang Qing frowned.
"Yeah!" Zhu Tianba nodded vigorously. "Just like... just like the big black cat just now, but more... scattered, everywhere."
Jiang Qing's heart trembled.
What Zhu Tianba described was most likely the mutated beasts that were contaminated or controlled by forbidden potions and scattered throughout the arena by the Fourth Academy.
Just as Jiang Qing was thinking, Zhu Tianba suddenly stopped, his ears erected vigilantly, and looked towards the depths of the dense forest in front of him.
"Jiang Qing, there's a strong smell over there."
Jiang Qing followed its gaze and saw that the forest in that area was particularly dense, the light was dim, and there was a faint, uncomfortable smell coming from it.
She and Huoqiushan looked at each other and both chose to sneak past quietly.
