The roar was so real that it seemed to pierce her delicate eardrums with a knife and a sword.
Ji Xiaoxiao covered her ears, but it was in vain. The roar was relentless, tormenting her relentlessly, leaving her unable to live or die. Her head was throbbing and her ears felt like broken trumpets, cracking and bleeding.
Seeing her health bar plummeting, Ji Xiaoxiao endured the excruciating pain, freed one hand, and shakily took out a bottle of blood-replenishing potion, gulping it down.
"The Lion's Roar is far more powerful than I imagined. The damage is too great, and the speed at which I can replenish my health is simply not keeping up with the speed at which I am losing it. If this continues, I am bound to lose."
If Ji Xiaoxiao wants to change the current situation, she must first stop the Beast King's attack.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoxiao took out the Dark Prisoner God Chains and attacked the Beast King in a messy and chaotic manner.
The Beast King reacted swiftly, its limbs agile, moving with lightning speed and the agility of a shooting star. In a blink of an eye, it dodged the simple attack of the Dark Prisoner's Chains. The longer the stalemate continued, the more adept Ji Xiaoxiao became at controlling the Dark Prisoner's Chains with her mind.
The Dark Prisoner's Chains multiplied into countless clones, shooting in rapidly from all directions. The Beast King raised its forepaw and lashed out with one claw, knocking away the Dark Prisoner's Chains from the east. Opening an opening, the Beast King took off running, escaping the encirclement set up by Ji Xiaoxiao.
Since the start of their battle, the Beast King has never stopped using Lion's Roar. Ji Xiaoxiao had been enduring the damage from Lion's Roar for a long time, and was also distracted by controlling the Dark Prisoner's Chains. The damage accumulated day by day, gradually increasing, and Ji Xiaoxiao's health bar almost emptied in an instant.
Ji Xiaoxiao drank three bottles of high-quality blood-replenishing potions, and her health was restored to its peak.
"I can't afford a prolonged war with the Beastmaster."
Ji Xiaoxiao frowned as she looked at the Golden Lion, the Beast King, outside the dark clouds of the Dark Prisoner's Chains. Under the bright sunlight, it shimmered and glittered, yet it resembled a messenger from hell, terrifying and ferocious. It opened its blood-red maw, its sharp teeth gleaming in the sunlight, and a deafening roar emanated from within.
"What should we do? What should we do? The Dark God-Binding Chains won't work, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword will definitely be useless. If it's the Dragon Wings, then we should retreat for now. If it's divine language, can we bewitch the Golden Lion's mind? Can the Netherworld Cold Flame burn the sky and boil the sea? No, none of these are acceptable... Wait, if it's divine language, then it's still possible."
Ji Xiaoxiao lowered her head and murmured softly. A moment later, ignoring the Lion's Roar, Ji Xiaoxiao stood up, drank a blood-replenishing potion, and drank until her health bar was full.
Seeing this, the golden lion took a deep breath and roared even louder.
"It's useless." Ji Xiaoxiao used "divine language" on herself, shutting down all her senses except for sight. She couldn't hear anything, so what use was the Beast King's Lion's Roar?
The Lion's Roar was useless. With the divine artifact's enhancement, the Beast King was defeated in just a few rounds by Ji Xiaoxiao's Dark God-Binding Chains skill – Endless Abyss. The Dark God-Binding Chains could imprison gods; surely a mere beastman like the Beast King couldn't withstand them?
Of course, Ji Xiaoxiao was able to use the "Endless Abyss" entirely because she had upgraded the semi-divine artifact, the Dark Prisoner's Chains. For this, Ji Xiaoxiao had to express her sincere gratitude to the Goddess of Pregnancy. Without the Goddess of Pregnancy's generosity in bestowing upon her the divine-grade crystal—the Divine Refining Crystal—Ji Xiaoxiao would not have been able to complete the upgrade of the Dark Prisoner's Chains.
When it comes to rewards and honors, we must discuss this in detail.
Ji Xiaoxiao conquered the Dragon God, leveling up by 100 and gaining the Soaring Dragon Wings, the Aura of All Beasts Paying Homage, and invulnerability to swords and spears. After conquering the Goddess of Childbirth, Ji Xiaoxiao leveled up another 100, obtaining the Divine Refining Crystal and a bottle of Infinite Recovery Potion. As for the Demon God, he was extremely stingy, giving Ji Xiaoxiao only a handful of Netherworld Cold Flame, one of the strange flames of heaven and earth, after leveling up by 100.
Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; contentment brings lasting happiness.
Before conquering the Orc War God, Ji Xiaoxiao happily carried the Divine Refining Crystal to the blacksmith shop and asked the master craftsman to help her upgrade the Dark Prisoner Chains.
Divine artifact, semi-divine artifact—the difference lies in just one word. Yet, that one word represents an insurmountable barrier. The Dark Prisoner's Chains, now a divine artifact, doubles in attack power and doubles in defense, triggering the new skill "Endless Abyss."
Having witnessed the power of the "Endless Abyss" firsthand, Ji Xiaoxiao smiled a hundred times brighter than any flower.
The Dark Prisoner's Chains tightly bound the Beast King. Ji Xiaoxiao's hand was half-clenched, and she gradually tightened her grip, causing the black prison to shrink a little. The Beast King let out a miserable scream.
After a while, the black prison cell turned into a football, and there was a pool of pungent blood on the ground.
Having confirmed that the Beast King's soul had returned to his homeland, Ji Xiaoxiao turned to look around and even used her detection magic weapon, but still could not find any Beastman priests.
"That's strange, where did the orc priests go?"
In general battles, having more people to overpower fewer is the most efficient and reliable way to secure a decisive victory. In the Orcish War God Tournament, the first round involves both the Beast King and the Priest. So far, Ji Xiaoxiao has only encountered the Beast King, Golden Lion; the enigmatic Priest has yet to appear.
"Ding dong, congratulations to Jiji for passing the first level."
Suddenly, the system's congratulatory voice rang in her ears. Ji Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, but she was also completely confused and bewildered. She didn't know how she had won, and the priest hadn't even appeared yet!
After a while, the system gave Ji Xiaoxiao an explanation.
It turned out that this orcish priest was a flea, who had already made its appearance, hiding in the golden lion's thick fur. It was perfectly natural that Ji Xiaoxiao wouldn't notice a tiny creature, no bigger than a fingernail, concealed in the dense forest.
"So, I just brutally killed the Golden Lion and incidentally wiped out the Flea Priest?"
