Pa!
A black cannonball was shot out of the Frigid Iron Cannon that Ling Zhen was holding with both hands.
It hit the stick with which the Forest Monster was trying to smash on the head of the soldier who had vomited blood and collapsed.
Hum!
After an explosion, the green-skinned Forest Monster’s weapon was deviated beyond its control and smashed backward against its big head, making it stagger back uncontrollably.
“You won!”
Li Qing, who was standing next to Ling Zhen, chose to admit defeat on behalf of the soldier who was vomiting blood.
“Wula, wula!”
Hearing what Li Qing said, the green-skinned Forest Monsters who were hanging on the vines of the 100-meter-tall trees shouted even more loudly. It was almost like a bunch of generators were working at the same time.
During the first few battles, more than one champion from the Twin Dragon Mount was defeated because their heads were giddy from the Forest Monsters’ roaring. Later, they found out that the earplugs that were made out of the Sludge Monster skin were perfectly effective in blocking the noises.
Even so, it was unavoidable that their clothes and hair were wet by the saliva that the green-skinned aliens spat out during the battles.
To some extent, by fighting the Forest Monsters, one could significantly build up their tolerance. It was a perfect chance to train the soldiers!
“Master, Chief Lu… I…”
The soldier who returned to the human beings’ side had a twisted arm, but he looked more ashamed than painful.
The Twin Dragon Mount accepted the Forest Monsters’ duels for an important reason. With Li Qing’s Combat Ability Detector, they could know the enemy’s level clearly.
Therefore, human beings could send champions who were as strong as the enemy, if not stronger, every time.
Yet, this soldier had lost the battle. He naturally felt guilty and embarrassed!
“You chose the wrong weapon. The Forest Monsters have long arms, but their legs are slow. It’s better to fight them with long and ranged weapons… Go treat your wounds first!” said Lu Zhishen.
Though the soldier had a broken arm, it would be healed in only a couple of days with the Black Mud.
“Wula!”
The Forest Monster who just won the duel simply drew out the short dagger on its belly and spat a mouthful of green saliva on the wound. Then, it left the wound alone.
“Dum! Dum! Dum!”
After that, it bashed the four sticks in its hands against each other and roared provocatively at the humans, demanding the next challenger!
“Sun Zhou lost. Who’s next?”
Lu Zhishen looked at the soldiers around.
According to the rules, the champions who had lost a battle could not participate in other duels, so the average level of the contestants had dropped from Extraordinary to Ordinary Rank-7 over these days.
As a Rank-7, the soldier named Sun Zhou was actually strong. After all, he was rated as an Elite.
Since he failed to defeat this Forest Monster, the other soldiers were unlikely to either.
“We can’t fight anymore!”
Among the players, both Li Qing and Qin Yueyu had fought and won. Li Qing fired his revolver so fast and precisely that his opponent had been killed before it had a chance to admit defeat.
However, both of their winning streaks were terminated by the Forest Monster King!
“Let me!” said a female voice.
Wu Qiao, the “beta tester”, stood up.
At this moment, she was wearing wolf fur armor that covered her critical parts and holding a pile of sharp-edged round plates that belonged to the Mirage Monsters. She looked slightly wild!
Wu Qiao was picked for the beta test because of her job as an acrobat. The subjects she was best at were frisbee and darting.
The sharp-edged round plates that the dead Mirage Monsters dropped, after being modified by the craftsmen of the Twin Dragon Mount, became excellent weapons for her.
Also, as a beta tester, she had made fast progress. She was given a lot of resources for her performance and contributions to the fort.
At this moment, she had entered Ordinary Rank-7 too.
“Wula, wula…”
Seeing Wu Qiao, the Forest Monsters bellowed yet again.
Wu Qiao, as a beta tester, didn’t waste any time talking. She simply darted out a sharp-edged round plate at the Forest Monster on her opposite side!
“Wula…”
The Forest Monster roared and waved the four sticks, deviating the sharp-edged round plate that was coming to its face.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
But the vertical pupils in its eyes constricted in the next moment.
That was because it saw a bunch of sharp-edged round plates swooping at itself!
Supposedly, the Forest Monsters had physical advantages because they had two more arms than human beings did.
However, as one of the best acrobats, Wu Qiao could launch multiple sharp-edged round plates simultaneously even though she only had two hands. She even ensured that more than five sharp-edged round plates were flying at the same time anytime during the battle.
“Dum! Dum! Dum…”
The Forest Monster waved its four arms quickly and had quite some trouble avoiding all the sharp-edged round plates.
“Wula!”
However, the moment it roared at Wu Qiao and was about to charge at her with the sticks, noises of sharp blades piercing the body came from its back!
That was because the sharp-edged round plates, just like when they were used by the Mirage Monsters, could fly back after they were thrown out. As a result, the Forest Monster was heavily wounded. Even one of its arms was chopped off. A huge amount of green blood popped up from the wound!
Whoosh!
At this moment, Wu Qiao suddenly took out a dart that was made of frigid iron. She quickly and quietly threw it at the Forest Monster’s head, which had just turned around to examine its wounds!
“Roar!”
However, the moment the dart was thrown out, a figure fell from the sky before the Forest Monster whose arm was chopped off.
After the roar, the air seemed to be exploding, and vague sonic waves were spreading out.
The dart that Wu Qiao shot out was uncontrollably deviated after hitting the sonic waves and stabbed into a tree nearby.
This was a Forest Monster that was taller than the rest and had a skin that was bright purple.
It was also wearing a glamorous metal armor that no other Forest Monsters had. Of its four arms that were as thick as those of a silverback, two were holding a pair of green and purple sticks, and the other two were holding a green shield and a yellow cudgel.
It was the Forest Monster King, an Extraordinary Rank-5 Superior Commander who possessed the extraordinary power that was similar to a “sonic cannon”!
“They’re up to the old trick again. Those Forest Monsters don’t have any creativity!”
Qin Yueyu, who had advanced into Extraordinary Rank-2, was rather speechless.
Every time human beings won five rounds, the Forest Monster King would join the battle, and nobody in the Twin Dragon Mount was a match for it.
So, after all the other rounds were lost, they could only reach a tie with the enemy.
However, the case was different on this day!
“Master, you sure you want to do this?”
“This Forest Monster King is an experienced Extraordinary Rank-5 warrior anyway. Also, he boasts many Extraordinary items. He’s quite strong…”
On the human beings’ side, Ling Zhen was rather worried.
“Yes.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve reached Rank-5 too. I’m confident in beating it.
“After I go to the arena, ask everybody to be prepared. If the Forest Monsters do anything unusual after I beat the Forest Monster King, just attack them!”
Ji Ye couldn’t have looked more confident.
Although he had only just made a breakthrough, he still had a trump card that was the Flood Dragon Bloodline. After eight days, he had gathered enough Flood Dragon Blood for another battle.
Besides, in terms of equipment, this Forest Monster couldn’t compare to him either. After all, he had more than one item that carried Transcendent power!
