Chapter 53 The Growing Larger and Stronger Beast
Just as everyone was celebrating the fact that they had killed three alien beasts in a row, the fourth alien beast suddenly broke free from the 63rd Regiment Commander's grasp.
Seeing the purple seaweed broken into pieces and scattered on the ground, and hearing his screams of pain, everyone felt a chill run down their spines!
The strange beast in front of us was originally only three or four meters long, but after breaking free from its restraints, its size increased several times, turning into a behemoth with a body length of over ten meters!
Even more shockingly, its originally black scales turned crimson!
This sudden change caught everyone off guard.
This enormous beast, now grown to a huge size, seemed to be quite intelligent. After breaking free of its restraints, it headed straight for Xi'er.
At this moment, only Wujin remained by Xi'er's side; the others had just unleashed their strongest attacks and had no time to retreat.
In his utter panic, he exhausted all his spiritual power and barely managed to activate his invincible state.
At this moment, his injuries had only recovered by 50%, and he simply did not have enough spiritual power to support his invincible state.
Therefore, when the beast's sharp mandibles pierced Xi'er's heart, his invincibility lasted only one second before dissipating.
"Master, run!" Wujin roared, spitting out a large amount of thick green blood. Its bright purple body instantly lost its luster and turned into a withered yellowish-brown.
As the master, Xi'er sensed the dying state of her contracted servant and was both shocked and furious.
She decisively unleashed her strongest attack spell—Annihilation of the Heavens!
She had only used it for the first time when dealing with a group of monsters, and the spell's area-of-effect was relatively weak. However, she was using it on a single monster in front of her.
The aura emanating from this strange beast has already reached the ninth level, and its momentum is still rising.
Xi'er guessed that if it hadn't been weakened by the spatial rift, its original strength would have been at least between the tenth and twelfth ranks.
Otherwise, the well-informed Wujin wouldn't have been able to tell her to run away when she was severely injured.
However, Xi'er no longer cared about being afraid, nor did she want to abandon everyone and run away. She decisively used ninety percent of her witch spirit power to unleash this strongest attack.
With her current cultivation level of nine and a half levels of the Heavenly Realm, she could even fight to a draw against a ninth-order transformed demon beast.
Moreover, this attack incorporated over 90% of her magical power!
The strange beast pierced through the endless invincible cheat codes and continued forward, fully expecting to pierce Xi'er's heart.
However, after the mouthpieces were subjected to the Annihilation Technique, they began to dissolve little by little.
In the blink of an eye, the beast's mouthparts completely dissolved.
Its body was still propelled forward by inertia, and it couldn't stop itself from turning back.
And so it watched helplessly as its head and half its body melted away, leaving only the majority of its body, before it crashed heavily to the ground.
Even after it fell to the ground, its limbs continued to flailing menacingly, as if preparing to attack anyone who approached it.
Xi'er was pale and swaying as she was caught by Qilu, who had rushed back.
Seeing this, everyone launched their attacks, cutting the remaining half of his body into pieces. They breathed a sigh of relief when the pieces stopped moving.
Xiao Bao looked at Xi'er, whose face was pale, and asked worriedly, "Xi'er, how are you? Should we hurry back to the 63rd Regiment's base?"
"No, I'm fine, I'm just exhausted from spiritual energy. We can't go back now. Let me rest for a bit, and then I'll try to repair this spatial rift."
"Among the strange beasts that crawled out of here, there are such powerful ones hidden among them. If another one, or even more of these seemingly ordinary beasts that can grow bigger and stronger in a short time, were to crawl out, the 63rd Regiment's garrison would definitely not be able to hold out." Xi'er gently shook her head.
Wujin was barely breathing at this moment, so Xi'er had no choice but to put him into the hollow silver sphere space and return the half of the soul pearl that she had used to control him.
Given his current condition, without the assistance of this half-soul bead, he most likely wouldn't survive.
Before setting off, the High Priest gave Xi'er the other half of Wujin's Soul Bead, instructing her that if Wujin were to sacrifice his life for her, she could return the other half of the Soul Bead to him.
Because the High Priest knew that among the three purple demon servants that Xi'er had contracted, Endless was the most powerful.
If he's willing, he'll be more reliable than the other two when it matters.
As it turned out, the high priest's prediction was indeed correct.
If Endless hadn't reacted quickly enough, the beast's mandibles might have pierced her heart.
Although with her current strength, she wouldn't die even if her heart was pierced, she would definitely be seriously injured.
If she is seriously injured, her contracted beasts Fusheng and Ruomeng will suffer a backlash, not to mention her three contracted servants, whose backlash will be even more severe than that of Fusheng and Ruomeng.
This was a devastating blow to their group.
Therefore, by risking his life to protect her, Wujin was essentially protecting everyone.
However, despite this principle, many people are driven by instinctive fear when faced with life-or-death situations, and subconsciously choose to escape.
Wujin did not run away but chose to protect her, which is enough to prove that he had already accepted this master in his heart.
Xi'er was not injured, but her spiritual energy was excessively depleted. At this moment, she took out a pile of top-grade spirit stones and began to absorb them frantically.
In fact, absorbing a large number of spirit stones in a short period of time can cause some damage to one's meridians, leaving hidden dangers for future cultivation.
But Xi'er couldn't care less about that now. The power of this beast was beyond her expectations. She dared not gamble on how many more such beasts would crawl out of this spatial rift.
A quarter of an hour later, the large pile of top-grade spirit stones beside her turned into dusty pebbles, and Xi'er's spiritual power recovered to 70%.
Looking at the spatial rift before her, she knew there was no time to continue healing.
She faced the rift, forming a hand seal with her hands. She was still quite unfamiliar with the spacetime repair seal that she had just comprehended.
As the hand seals were formed, rings of colorless, transparent light continuously surged towards the rift.
Everyone was on high alert to protect her, ready to fight to the death against the suddenly appearing monster.
Fortunately, the strange beast that everyone was worried about never appeared, and this grayish-white spatial rift visibly shrank under the blessing of Xi'er's magic seal.
When the crack shrank to a little over a meter in length, everyone saw a claw the size of a fan, covered in black hair, suddenly emerge.
This is a paw that resembles a bear's paw, with black hairs on it that look like sharp thorns, which is quite frightening.
Because of the sudden appearance of this claw, Xi'er's repair speed has slowed down.
Without hesitation, Xiao Bao conjured a sharp dagger, infused it with half of his soul power, and slashed fiercely at the claw.
With a muffled howl of agony, the claws were severed on the spot and fell to the ground from mid-air.
The spirit lamp instantly flicked out more than a dozen thin threads, dragging the claw back.
Xiao Bao rarely uses his soul power to infuse the golden blade, because doing so would cause him great damage.
Once the soul is damaged, it is difficult to recover in a short period of time.
Fortunately, the spirit lamp possessed healing abilities, which could help him repair his damaged soul; otherwise, after just this attack, Xiao Bao would have needed at least three months to recover.
After the claws were severed, there was no further movement from the other end of the spatial rift. Xi'er seized the time and finally completed the repair.
She herself was completely exhausted and fell into a coma.
When she repaired the spatial rift, her spiritual power only recovered to 70%, and she also forcibly and quickly absorbed a large number of top-grade spirit stones, which damaged her meridians.
Therefore, during the repair process, she was barely able to maintain the output of the sign.
She only felt relieved after she saw the crack completely repaired.
