Chapter 111 - 110: Strikes Again with a Cudgel
After giving instructions to Bai Qi, Zhang Shan turned his gaze to Bai Qiucha.
“Bai Qiucha, I am also your guide, so get on the car right away.”
After saying this, Zhang Shan turned his head to the housekeeper and said, “Master Zhai, you don’t need to worry about things from now on. If you have no other matters, I’ll take them away first.”
Good grief, was he like this with everyone?
Seeing that Zhang Shan was the same even when facing the Legendary Son, Bai Qi sullenly climbed into the carriage without saying a word.
This union is not like a school, no matter how rebellious you are, the teacher will not argue with you. Seeing Zhang Shan’s perfect devilish instructor setting, Bai Qi didn’t want to look for trouble for no reason.
Moreover, he had a fellow mate…
Bai Qi looked at Bai Qiucha, who obediently got in the car, and quietly asked, “Are you sure Luo Xiang and Ice… cough cough, Master Zhang Shan are very familiar?”
Bai Qiucha nodded and said, “As far as I know, Master Zhang Shan has only one friend in the headquarters and the association, Brother Luo. Alright… they could even risk their lives for each other.”
I see, since ancient times red and blue made a couple, an iceberg with a goof.
Zhang Shan was obviously the iceberg. As for Luo Xiang…
Well, it makes sense.
Bai Qi silently stamped Zhang Shan with the iceberg male emblem, and Zhang Shan had also finished talking with the housekeeper, and simply climbed into the car.
“Let’s go.”
After Zhang Shan entered the car, there was no unnecessary talk, and the driver, who was clearly aware of Zhang Shan’s character, skillfully started the car and drove towards the Six Towers.
Songlin City was as warm as spring all year round, with splendid scenery. But as a tourist attraction, these were all basic conditions. What really made people remember Songlin City was its enduring old charm and style.
Songlin City was one of the cities with the most Secret Realm Towers discovered by the Federation to date, with more and more being developed continuously. So, to ensure that the emergence and development of the Secret Realm Towers were not affected, Songlin City retained its original layout to the maximum extent possible, except for basic buildings.
Even the mechanical facilities that the Federation had generally popularized faced some restrictions here.
For example, the car they were riding in now, although it was a smart electric car, it was designed in the style of a model from hundreds of years ago, and even the billboards on the roadside were made of wood.
Added to the occasional sight of ancient towers in the vision, Bai Qi even thought he had time-traveled again.
The car passed through several streets and gradually entered the outskirts of Songlin City. The bustling streets became quiet.
“Get out of the car.”
Zhang Shan, who had been sitting upright and hadn’t spoken for a long time after getting on the bus, suddenly spoke.
Have we arrived?
Bai Qi looked at the still somewhat distant Six Towers, then at the silent wilderness around him, raising his eyebrows.
At least it was an organization that had been passed down for thousands of years. It wouldn’t still be playing such a crude routine, right?
Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha exchanged glances, both obediently got off the car, and the Rune Mark on Bai Qiucha’s hand began to flicker.
“Very good. Stay alert at all times, it’s a prove that you have qualifications to survive.”
Looking at the vigilant Bai Qiucha, Zhang Shan nodded approvingly, then turned to Bai Qi and said coldly, “If you were thrown into the Ferocious Beast Tribe, you would never survive even for a day.”
Bai Qi remained silent upon hearing this. With his current small build, he wouldn’t survive a day if thrown into the Ferocious Beast Tribe.
Well, if he was a bit more vigilant, maybe he could survive half a day.
But apart from his complaints, Bai Qi still took Zhang Shan’s words to heart.
After becoming a professional Beast Master, he was qualified to explore the wilderness. If he was not vigilant enough, indeed, he could end up dead in the wilderness.
Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to have taken his words to heart, Zhang Shan did not waste any more words, but his face was still as cold as ever: “Now, attack me!” What?
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and in that instant of being stunned, danger was already approaching.
A flash of the Rune array in front of Zhang Shan, two lightning bolts went towards Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha. Bai Qi instinctively flashed to the side, summoning Alpha at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three continuous Ice Crystal Barriers appeared in front of Bai Qi and Alpha, but they only lasted for an instant before they were directly broken by the lightning, grazing Bai Qi’s scalp and hitting the ground behind him.
Bai Qi touched his slightly charred hair, knowing that Zhang Shan was apparently serious. If he couldn’t satisfy him, he wouldn’ t be killed, but he would definitely have to suffer some hardships.
But what about the peaceful development they had agreed on? Why had the style suddenly changed?
On the other hand, Bai Qiucha’s Bone Dragon also blocked Zhang Shan’s lightning strike. The huge dragon body was in front of Bai Qiucha, eliminating any possibility of an attack reaching Bai Qiucha.
“Your reaction speed is not bad, but if you are just doing this, it’s not enough!”
A unicorn, its entire body glowing with golden thunder light, stood next to Zhang Shan, making rumbling noises from its mouth from time to time that were intimidating enough to shake one’s heart.
[Name]: Thunder Beast
[Nature]: Thunder Series
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Skills]: Thunder Strike, Thunderbolt, Thunder Trample, Thunder Shadow
Facing the intimidation of Thunder Beast’s Thunder Strike skill, Alpha and the Skeleton Dragon resisted in unison. Two fundamentally different dragon intimidations burst forth from the twin pets, confronting Zhang Shan’s Thunder Beast head-on.
“Dragon Intimidation?”
Seeing Alpha employ Dragon Intimidation as well, Zhang Shan was slightly surprised. He caught the eye of the Thunder Beast beside him. The Thunder Beast understood instantly, let out an angry roar, and suddenly, a peal of thunder resounded throughout heaven and earth. A thick thundercloud quietly appeared over Alpha and the Skeleton Dragon’s heads.
Then, golden bolts of lightning poured from the thundercloud. The bone dragon had no means of dodging the barrage of attacks and was forced to withstand them by flapping its wings. Following that, it launched an attack on the Thunder Beast.
To catch a bandit, one must first catch its leader. If they didn’t defeat the Thunder Beast, they could only be bombed actively by the thundercloud until they lost the ability to fight.
However, the Thunder Beast seemed to know the bone dragon’s plan. With a heavy stomp of its hoof, it vanished on the spot and reappeared in front of Alpha. Its horn, wrapped in a golden electric arc, pierced towards Alpha like a sharp sword.
Clang!
The unicorn’s horn crossed paths with the great sword, creating a pleasing impact sound.
Although the Thunder Beast was huge, the attack of the horn on its head was quick, accurate, ruthless, and incessant, like a snake leaving its hole.
Faced with the Thunder Beast’s horn attack and the occasional lightning falling from above, Alpha unleashed his speed, dodging the electric shocks while swinging his great sword and engaging in close combat with the Thunder Beast.
After reaching the Lord Level, Alpha’s Speed Variation finally held an advantage. Facing the Thunder Beast’s double attack, he was not at a disadvantage.
However, this played right into the Thunder Beast’s hands.
Witnessing Alpha entangled with the Thunder Beast, the Skeleton Dragon, with its dragon breath already gathered at the mouth, found no opportunity to release it. Instead, it was continually seeking an opportune moment.
The Thunder Beast was fighting two on its own, with most of the Thunder Trample attacks focused on the bone dragon. So the pressure on the bone dragon was considerable. Any further delay would be detrimental to it.
However, the situation quickly changed.
Seeing that the Thunder Beast could not be easily defeated, Alpha suddenly retreated several steps. A few ice crystal barriers instantly appeared between it and the Thunder Beast.
The Thunder Beast wouldn’t let Alpha easily increase the distance between them. Its body transformed into a bolt of lightning and surged forward. The ice crystal barrier instantly turned into a shower of ice dust, obstructing the Thunder Beast’s vision.
Then, a Crystal Great Sword suddenly flew out from the ice dust, charging directly towards the Thunder Beast.
“Want to ambush? Good idea, but you should at least first get out of the attack range of Thunder Trample.”
Zhang Shan gave a cold evaluation. A golden thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, directly stirring the Crystal Great Sword aside.
But before the Thunder Beast could continue its attack, the Crystal Great Sword ascended from the ground and attacked the Thunder Beast from behind. At the same time, Alpha, who had finally increased the distance from the Thunder Beast, charged again, wielding six crystal bone blades and launched a stormlike attack on the Thunder Beast.
1‘Skeleton Manipulation, Rune…”
Facing the sudden onslaught of Alpha’s attack, the Thunder Beast also felt some pressure. It switched from offense to defense, causing the attack from the thundercloud above to stagnate.
“Skeleton Armor!”
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha immediately seized the opportunity and entered an armor state with the Skeleton Dragon. They skillfully avoided the lightning overhead, quickly closing the gap with the Thunder Beast.
The Skeleton Dragon’s attacks were tremendous. Before the Thunder Beast and Alpha separated, it had only disadvantages and no advantages. It was easier to engage in close combat with the Thunder Beast along with Alpha.
Those who defend for a long time will inevitably lose. The Thunder Beast, which initially suppressed its power, began to fall into a passive stance under the attack of the two.
“In the face of a powerful enemy, cooperation is necessary, however, you two are still…”
Seeing the two finally cooperating, Zhang Shan nodded in satisfaction, ready to let the Thunder Beast end the fight. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, everything went black, and he nearly fainted.
Growl!
Seeing its master injured, the Thunder Beast immediately gave up on Alpha and Bai Qiucha. In an instant, it arrived behind Zhang Shan, crushed a bone rod that extended from the ground with a foot, and stood bearing Zhang Shan. Releasing a torrent of a delicate current, Zhang Shan finally regained consciousness.
Zhang Shan touched the growing lump on the back of his head, glanced at Bai Qi, who feigned innocence, and fell silent for a moment.
“Get in the car!”
Zhang Shan recalled the Thunder Beast and returned to the car wordlessly. Bai Qiucha and Bai Qi glanced at each other, then tidied their respective pets and walked towards the car.
“Why did you attack Master Zhang Shan? You were lucky not to knock him out. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to stop the Thunder Beast if it went berserk.”
“Oh, can’t I attack the Beast Master? Didn’t he just attack the two of us? Besides, did I hit him hard?”
Bai Qi asked in surprise, his face was one of bewildered innocence.
Isn’t this a common scenario in novels, an actual combat test before joining a certain force? Isn’t it?
If he hadn’t been worried about Alpha not being able to control himself, he would have used Withering Breath to attack.
God, he was worried that Master of the Sunrise Level had a better physical condition earlier, so he deliberately instructed Alpha to be heavier than when he hit Bai Qiucha. Isn’t it over now?
Hey, president, is it too late for me to quit the training now?
Seeing Bai Qi’s demeanor, Bai Qiucha was temporarily speechless. He glanced at Zhang Shan, who had already got in the car, and involuntarily touched the back of his own head.
“Bone Dragon, next time when I’m fighting with Bai Qi, put a helmet on me first, especially strengthening the defense of the back of my head!”
