Chapter 126 Chapter 126
After watching the Chengtian Turtle fly away quickly, the Blue Parrot Fighting Bird touched the only remaining feathers on its head and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, this only seedling was left.
"Chiu."
This last beastmaster was pretty easy to fool... Luckily, he was asking if she'd told the beastmaster in the blue skirt, not if she'd told anyone else. It was just a lucky break, not a scam...
“Hula——”
The blue parrot was burying its head in the branches guiltily when suddenly a cool breeze blew over, carrying with it a particularly sinister breath.
Blue Parrot Fighting Bird: “……!”
Another strange smell?
Could it be that the beastmaster in front figured it out, realized that he had been fooled, and came back to settle the score with it?
The blue parrot bird panicked and hurriedly shoved its body into the nest, covering its head and eyes with its wings, and chirped randomly as if trying to cover up its own mistakes: "Chirp, chirp!"
No matter, no matter!
I just agreed to exchange it for information, and I absolutely cannot go back on my word. It will not give up the only remaining feather!
“Rustle, rustle.”
The sound came from far away and moved very quickly, like a wisp of smoke, and in the blink of an eye it reached the bird's nest along with the wind.
The blue parrot decided to play dead, and simply curled up in the nest and lay down. However, it didn't expect that a moment later, a faint light suddenly hit it -
“Puff!”
The dim light turned into a sharp blade and pierced silently into the back of the blue parrot bird.
The blue parrot was stunned for a moment before it felt a sharp pain coming from its heart. The hot blood was blocked by the sharp weapon and flowed out from the wound little by little, wetting its soft feathers.
“Chirp…Chirp!”
It hurts, it hurts so much!
The blue parrot fighting bird was horrified.
But it was, after all, a mysterious beast that grew up in another dimension, and its on-the-spot reaction to danger was extremely fast. Even when it was on the verge of death, it resolutely mobilized all its mysterious power, and its only remaining feather lit up with light.
Features, exchange!
An invisible force spread out, trying to envelop the Blue Parrot Fighting Bird and the attacker hidden in the black fog, exchanging their injured states.
A glimmer of light appeared in the eyes of the blue parrot.
Over the years, it had relied on this move to escape death countless times. Once successfully performed, it could instantly escape the state of near death, and the enemy would be in danger of being pierced by its own attack.
“…Buzz.”
A very light vibration was heard, as distant as an echo, and also like a low laugh full of mockery.
【Characteristics, deprivation.】
The blue parrot fighting bird trembled all over!
The "exchange" power it released had not yet achieved its effect, but it quickly dissipated like melting ice and snow, while another mysterious power quickly spread along the wound that pierced its chest and spread to the bones of its limbs.
It hurts, the pain is beyond limit, as if every inch of its bones is being peeled off alive!
“Chuck!!”
A dazzling halo of light flashed before the Blue Parrot's eyes. The pain that rippled through its body was too intense, several times more painful than a pierced chest. It curled up in agony, its claws flailing wildly. Its sharp claws scraped against the branches, leaving deep scratches.
A ball of blue energy slowly emerged from its body.
The ball of light was tranquil and profound, yet within it were tiny shimmering stars, like the most beautiful sapphire, yet imbued with the rich breath of life. The moment the blue light emerged, the last feather on the Blue Parrot's head automatically fell off, like a rootless leaf, slowly drifting to the ground.
“…Chiu.”
The blue parrot let out a shuddering sob, and its eyes slowly closed.
The black mist drifted to the foot of the tree, picked up the last feather, and gently waved it. As if attracted, the blue energy ball quickly floated over and disappeared into the false eye on the feather.
The lifeless fake eye suddenly lit up, shining brightly and emitting fluorescent light, which was very eye-catching.
The black fog was thick, and a low humming sound came from the depths of the fog.
Is this the power of 'exchange'?
[Not bad, I accept it.]
…
Everything that happened in the snow forest was silent, and the people far away on the colorful stone beach did not notice it.
At the same time, as the golden light in the sky became more and more dazzling, the challenge of the seven-star king crab also advanced to the most difficult moment.
It easily passed through the first five arches, but from the sixth, the force suddenly became immensely heavier. The Seven-Star King Crab was forced to activate its "Swallow Wave" skill, unleashing a sudden burst of energy. The wave-like shadows swirled in midair, propelling it upwards, slowly, until it passed the sixth threshold.
At the moment of passing the level, a golden light several times brighter than before suddenly flashed, like a star falling from the sky, leaving a dazzling scratch on the back of the seven-star king crab.
The traces were brighter than the previous five, and heavier than the combined pressure of the previous five. The Seven-Star King Crab's upward posture suddenly stopped, and it was almost knocked down from mid-air by the golden light. Its eight thin legs scrambled in the air in panic, and it finally managed to stabilize its body.
“Hu…ssss…”
The seven-star king crab was breathing heavily, showing visible fatigue.
But it is a beast king-level mystical beast after all, and this level of pressure is not enough to make it surrender - the seven-star king crab stared with its eyes and waved its giant claws vigorously. The giant claws, which were half the size of its body, broke away from its body and clamped towards the distant seventh arch like an extra-long chain!
Skill, Soul Lock!
The giant claws turned into a stream of light and suddenly rushed out several meters high. The mysterious power it carried collided with the power of the golden arch, shooting out a series of broken rays of light like splashes of water in the air.
The water-type mystical beasts below were excited again, and scattered fragments of light, which were all pure mystical energy!
Go, go, go, the seven-star king crab is so powerful!
Amidst cheers, the giant claws hooked the base of the seventh arch.
The seven-star king crab swung its huge body with all its might, and went up against the light, quickly climbing over the seventh arch.
…There are only two arches left from the ninth arch, which is a hundred meters away.
This realization made the seven-star king crab overjoyed. The seven stars on its back kept flashing, and its big claws closed excitedly, and the whole world was filled with crisp "click" sounds.
This is its proudest moment and also the most exciting moment!
The last two arches, here comes your Uncle Crab!
The sky glowed with light.
The seventh streak of light slowly fell down.
…
When the beasts on the colorful stone beach were boiling with excitement, countless codes flashed in Ark Xiaoxue's eyes by the pool, and her voice was as clear and calm as ever.
"Based on the seven-star king crab's acceleration and energy consumption, I estimate the resistance strength of the first five arches to be between 1 and 5..."
"Starting from the sixth arch, the resistance began to grow explosively, and the degree of increase was close to exponential. The resistance strength of the sixth arch was 15, and the resistance value of the seventh arch was predicted to be no less than 100..."
"The Seven-Star King Crab's initial surge was too rapid, consuming too much profound energy. It also used powerful skills at the sixth and seventh arches... Based on the energy fluctuations, the Seven-Star King Crab's profound energy reserves are now less than 20%."
"The probability of it stopping at the eighth arch is 80%, and the probability of it failing to pass through the ninth arch is... 99.9999%."
The koi fish stared in amazement at the scene before them—Ark Xiaoxue scanned, analyzed, and quickly projected its conclusions into the air. Combining the energy fluctuations displayed by the Seven-Star King Crab during its passage, it drew a clear and concise map of the resistance distribution within the trial area. Next to it were notes about recommended energy consumption and effort-saving techniques for crossing the archway.
With such a detailed guide, Koiyu felt that the probability of his success in the challenge had more than doubled.
At least it knows what it will encounter later, knows not to overdo it in the early stages, and can avoid the mistakes made by the seven-star king crab during the challenge.
only……
"Gulu?"
99.99%, doesn’t that mean there’s still a 0.0001% chance of passing?
Xia Muqing bent her finger and flicked its chubby little head. She smiled and said, "That's just the cautious nature of AI thinking. It always leaves a little room for accidents. But if you really want to know, the possibility of it happening is probably less than 0.0001%."
Ark Xiaoxue also nodded. "Yes, I'm just rounding the probability to four decimal places for now. If you calculate it in detail, the probability of the Seven-Star King Crab passing through the ninth arch is actually less than one in ten million."
It tilted its head and tried to explain using its recently acquired knowledge: "Master, if the probability is this low, can it also be called a 'miracle'?"
Xia Muqing: "Yeah, about the same."
She raised her head and gazed at the distant sky: "However, the probability of a miracle happening is probably even lower than one in ten million."
As he spoke, the seventh streak of light fell.
The seven-star king crab froze suddenly with its huge claws raised high.
The seventh streak of light was unexpectedly heavy, like a huge stone tablet made of pig iron, pressing down on its back shell.
Moreover, at the moment when the seventh streak of light fell, it formed an invisible array pattern with the previous six streaks of light. The clouds in the sky froze for a moment, and the supreme power crashed down!
“…Shuo!”
The seven-star king crab was caught off guard and was unable to lift its head due to the sudden gravity, and its limbs made crisp crackling sounds.
It screamed in pain, as if all the bones in its body were about to be crushed!
The eighth arch is so difficult?
...No, it doesn't accept!
It wants to transform into a dragon, it wants to be the strongest beast king - after finally climbing over seven arches, how can it be willing to stop here?
"Shuo!"
Only two more, only two arches left!
Go, go for it!
The seven-star king crab was so anxious that its eyes turned red.
It carried the heavy pressure regardless of everything and took difficult steps upward.
At this point, every centimeter of improvement required a huge amount of effort. However, when the Seven-Star King Crab wanted to mobilize the mysterious power again, he was surprised to find that there was very little mysterious power left in his body.
“…Shu?”
How could that be? Doesn’t it still have seven stars of stored mysterious power?
How could it be used up so quickly?
The seven-star king crab was stunned for a moment.
It recalled that when it rushed through the first five arches, in order to demonstrate its indomitable momentum and to show its dominance over the whitetail snapper, it simply...didn't pay attention to the consumption of its profound energy.
In other words, he was too confident in himself and did not expect to face a situation where he would be exhausted later.
The seven-starred king crab was filled with regret and hatred, snapping its claws in the air a few times as if to vent its anger. But now it was almost at the eighth arch, so what could it do with regret?
Even more terrifying was that as it forced itself to squeeze out the last bit of profound energy from its body, it suddenly heard a subtle sound in its ears: "...Crack."
A sharp pain in my back.
The seven-star king crab was dumbfounded.
It turned its eyes with difficulty and found that its shell, its sturdy and beautiful shell - had actually cracked into a tiny crack due to the pressure of the golden light?
Oh my god, if it continues like this, not only will it not be able to transform into a dragon, but its life will be in danger!
