Chapter 319: 315: Death Knight
Bai Qi got up from the ground, patted the padding on Gamma’s back, and said, “Good thing Gamma was there, or I would have been smashed to death.”
Gobble-Gobble.
(Thank you, Master for the compliment.)
Gamma satisfactorily rubbed against Bai Qi, while Alpha suddenly blocked Bai Qi’s front.
Cackle-Cackle.
(Master, there are Beast Soul Warriors.)
Taken aback by the words, Bai Qi then realized that he was surrounded by a group of Beast Soul Warriors. Not far away, Li Xusheng and others were staring in astonishment.
“Uhm, it seems like I fell at the wrong location?”
Bai Qi scratched his head, while the Beast Soul Warriors clearly had no intention of allowing Bai Qi to keep daydreaming. They manipulated their Martial Souls and launched an attack on Bai Qi.
“Although I don’t know what happened, all these Martial Souls, just right to replenish the Sword of Death, Alpha, take them down!”
Cackle-Cackle.
(Boss, don’t worry. They cannot escape.)
Alpha’s Sword of Death pointed at the Martial Souls, Death Force Field suddenly unfolded, wrapping up those Martial Souls directly.
As concentrations of Spirit Power, the Martial Souls clearly could not withstand the breath of the Death Force Field, and wailed as they ran outwards while Bai Qi took the opportunity to slip back into the friendly army.
“Bai Qi, how did you fall from the sky? And this egg?”
Feng Ye asked with some curiosity, while Dean looked thoughtful and said, “Could this be the Sun Beetle inheritance?”
Hearing Dean’s words, everyone looked sideways, with a few of them even looking dangerous.
Wouldn’t a hatchling of a mythical creature be invincible?
“Cough cough, how could it, this is my fifth pet, just evolved.”
Bai Qi straightened his face and looked at the other side, saying, “Let’s defeat these Beast Soul Warriors first.”
Seeing Bai Qi’s appearance, Feng Ye and others all twitched their lips. Could this excuse be any more fake?
They couldn’t detect anything like the Sun Beetle’s aura, so they quickly focused on the task at hand.
Although Alpha caught them off guard, these Beast Soul Warriors were not low-level, and they quickly regrouped to fight.
Even so, the attack of Alpha still made these Martial Souls wary, and with the occasional surprise attack of ‘Undying Flame,’ these Beast Soul Warriors still looked flustered.
“Finish them quickly, there’s definitely chaos outside.”
Li Xusheng hammered a Martial Soul trying to ambush them into flight, left a word and then killed into the pack of Beast Soul Warriors.
Dean and others were not to be outdone, and they all took action.
These Beast Soul Warriors who faced the twelve outstanding figures had a strong combat experience. However, in front of the King-level Alpha and Judgment Angel, they quickly lost their armor and were forced to gather together.
“How are we going to deal with them next? Interrogate them about the other entrance?”
Feng Ye looked at the Beast Soul Warriors, who had basically lost their combat power, and asked.
“These are all Beast Soul Warriors nurtured by the tribe, normal interrogation means would yield nothing.”
Dean shook his head, looked at Carl, and said, “Besides, it’s not that time yet.”
The moment the words ended, various colored lights lit up on the bodies of the Beast Soul Warriors, on their necklaces or bracelets, and a strong aura rose one after another from those Martial Souls.
Martial soul is the condensation of Beast Soul Warriors based on the image of their own contracted creatures. With the aid of soul devices, even if they are far apart, they can project their consciousness over there.
Other than Li Xusheng, Dean, Carl, who had experienced this, ordinary Beast Masters were oblivious to this.
Looking at the increasingly powerful Martial Souls, Li Xusheng, Dean and others looked at each other, their respective pets erupted with a powerful aura, and they planned to defeat these Beast Soul Warriors before they could contact the Ferocious Beasts.
At this moment, an invisible fluctuation suddenly swept over all the Beast Soul Warriors, the previously shining Soul Devices suddenly dimmed, and the faces of these Beast Soul Warriors turned pale, obviously suffering a huge shock.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, they all looked at Schuck beside them, who was busy with a strange device.
“All set.”
Looking at Schuck’s device working, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
This Soul Device is nothing more than a soul signal amplifier, plus the distance is so far, it was easily interfered with.
“Bai Qi, what is this invention of yours?”
Looking at the Beast Soul Warriors on the other side who fizzled out, Feng Ye watched Schuck’s device with some surprise.
“Nothing much, last time we encountered a Beast Soul Warrior, so I specifically designed an interference device, as of now, it seems to be working well.”
Everyone remained silent upon hearing this, a device that could prevent the arrival of legendary ferocious beasts, how come in Bai Qi’s mouth it seemed no different from the air conditioner at home?
Because the summoning device was interrupted, the state of the Beast Soul Warriors was greatly affected. Alpha immediately seized the opportunity, forcibly killed two Martial Souls, and the range of the Death Force Field immediately grew a lot larger.
However, before Alpha could make a move on the remaining few, Li Xusheng and Dean launched their own attacks, obliterating them instantly.
Without their martial souls, the Beast Soul Warriors weakened and fell to the ground, powerless to fight back.
“So, what’s the plan for getting out of here?”
Bai Qi turned to Carl. As the Yixiu family had clearly been here before, the responsibility to discover an exit naturally fell to him.
“I’m sorry, I did indeed visit this place in advance, but it was controlled by the family head. We can’t leave on our own,”
Carl shook his head, adding, “All we can do now is wait for the family head to lead us out.”
Bai Qi slightly furrowed his brows. Although they were in a secret realm separated by a layer from the black fog serpent, they could tell it was not a creature to be trifled with. If it managed to breach this place, they would all be doomed.
“Didn’t you make it to the next level, Bai Qi? Maybe you have some method to share?”
Dean detected Bai Qi’s unease, glanced at the vertical pupil on Beta’s head and said, “If I’m not mistaken, doesn’t the eye on your pet’s head have the same origin as the Three-eyed Civilization?”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over. They had all seen the contents of the murals in the stone room, but they hadn’t paid much attention to them because they were focused on the Beast Soul Warriors. Now that Dean had brought it up, they noticed the anomaly of Beta’s third eye.
“I did make it to the next level, but would you believe me if I said I don’t know how to open it?”
Feng Ye’s face expressed disgust. He did not seem to believe Bai Qi, who could only respond with a helpless sigh.
If he revealed that there was a creature inside that could swallow up even legendary creatures in one gulp, he doubted the group would believe him.
“Forget it, let’s explore this place thoroughly first. Since the obelisk teleported us here, there must be an exit,”
Seeing Bai Qi did not plan on speaking further, Dean shifted the topic, but before anyone could reply, Li Xusheng suddenly attacked an empty corner.
At the same time, Alpha and Beta also perceived something and launched their attacks at the same corner.
“My target isn’t you, get lost.”
As Li Xusheng’s attack was about to land, a figure wearing knight armor suddenly appeared, and with a swift kick, sent Li Xusheng flying. Behind the armored knight, a man with his face hidden under a strange mask slowly emerged.
“Reinforcements?”
Bai Qi glanced at the Beast Soul Warrior to the side and furrowed his brows.
Crunch, crunch.
(Boss, he seems to have the power of death too, but it seems different.)
“Is that death power again? Didn’t Teacher say it was rare? How come it’s everywhere now?”
Bai Qi was slightly taken aback, but the knight in front of him did not give him any time to react. After sending Husky flying with one punch, he reached for Alpha.
Upon sight of this, Alpha immediately struck with his sword. However, his normally invincible Sword of Death merely left a shallow mark on the knight’s armor, failing to inflict any real damage.
“Be careful, this guy might be a legend!”
Li Xusheng struggled to get up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. The blood tail behind him swung unconstrained as if ready to attack again.
“A legend?”
Everyone gasped at his words. A legendary creature was not something they were capable of handling at present.
A legend had infiltrated the place. Could it be that there was another entrance?
Seeing Alpha looking a little worse for wear under the knight’s attacks, Bai Qi clenched his teeth and said, “No matter what, let’s go! Waiting for death isn’t my style.”
With that, Bai Qi released all four of his pets, which charged at the knight together.
Although it was just a guess, it seemed that the knight did not attack Alpha as brutally as he did Li Xusheng. Rather, it looked more like he intended to capture Alpha alive.
Considering the energy similar to the power of death emanating from him, this guess seemed considerably accurate.
An unknown person trying to steal his pet was not something Bai Qi could sit idle and watch.
However, despite having a few extraordinary pets at his disposal, he was still unable to bridge the gap between them and a legend, barely lasting a round against the knight before defeat.
“Damn it, Alpha, come back.”
Seeing what was happening, Bai Qi attempted to call Alpha back. Not wasting any more time, the knight spread a black power from his armor, reaching out to grab Alpha.
Howl…
Just then, a soul-piercing howl emanated from somewhere deep. The torches in the temple suddenly swayed vigorously, pulling everyone’s shadows together at the center of the square. They slowly began to levitate, taking on a human form.
In the end, the shadow solidified into a towering figure — a wolf-headed man, draped in robes and wielding a metal scepter, stood before them.
“Damn it, why wasn’t this thing mentioned in the information?”
Seeing this strange creature appear, the man, who had previously appeared indifferent, suddenly changed his expression. The knight immediately gripped Alpha, attempting to retreat back into the shadows behind him.
“Motherfu… Put him…”
Bai Qi cursed at the sight and was about to forcefully recall Alpha when a gust of wind blew past. The wolf-headed man appeared in front of the knight instantaneously. Before the knight could react, the man smashed his head into the ground with his left hand.
Even the legendary creature couldn’t withstand a single blow from this wolf-headed figure!
