Chapter 148: Exterminating the Demonic Beast (2)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions caused frightening waves of energy to rock the area . The students had begun the show .

They were executing a textbook example of how to take down a beast .

Wang Doushan and Feng Yigu were the human meat shields .

Unlike Wang Doushan, who had an ability that allowed him to regenerate at an insane rate, Feng Yigu just had strong defense . His Arcane Turtle Bloodline’s innate Origin Skill, Arcane Turtle Shield, was considered a divine-tier defensive skill . It was so powerful that even Su Chen’s Armor-Piercing Awl couldn’t break through it . If it weren’t for the fact that this skill devoured a person’s Bloodline Energy and couldn’t be sustained for a long time, he alone would have been able to withstand the purple-scaled beast’s attacks .

With Wang Doushan supporting him, the two of them could alternate, greatly reducing the pressure on them .

Su Chen, He Yuandong, Pi Yuanhong, and the Shen brothers were the main attackers .

He Yuandong and Pi Yuanhong were skilled in both offense and defense . He Yuandong possessed the Raging Inferno Beast Demonic King Bloodline . His Raging Heavenly Fists unleashed incredible power, and his Raging Needles could penetrate scaly armor and cause tremendous burn damage . Pi Yuanhong’s Split-Tooth Beast’s Bloodline did not have a lot of explosiveness in comparison, but every one of his attacks possessed a heavy momentum and was extremely stable . Most importantly, these two also possessed naturally strong, bulky physiques, so they could also help Wang Doushan and Feng Yigu withstand some of the blows .

The strength of Su Chen’s strengthened Erupting Firehawks was already apparent . With the support of his comrades, the battle would be even smoother . He just stood in the back and unleashed Firehawk after Firehawk at it .

A mage that could attack as much as they liked was incredibly dangerous . In terms of attack output, he was even stronger than He Yuandong and Pi Yuanhong .

Even so, he didn’t have the highest attack power .

The most fearsome attackers were still the Shen brothers .

The two of them were very good at fighting together . When they teamed up, they could combine the power of their attacks; getting hit by either one resulted in a blow that was twice as powerful as normal . They were also incredibly agile and attacked quickly . They launched a barrage of blows so quickly that their fists left afterimages in the air as they rained blow after blow on the purple-scaled beast . But these two also had their own weaknesses; their defensive capabilities were much worse, and only under these kinds of circumstances could they attack as much as they wanted .

Shi Jiangbai, Fan Ruzhi, and Shui Dong were all acting as supports .

Shi Jiangbai was born in the Lingnan Region with the Heart-Devouring Insect Bloodline . His Innate Skill was the Heart-Devouring Curse; as long as he had the target’s blood, he could apply a curse to the target and torment it . This curse had an equivalent effect on the purple-scaled beast as Su Chen’s strengthened Weakening Medicine, so the purple-scaled beast’s strength had been reduced by another 20% . Although it could not actually do much harm to the best, the contributions he had made were not trivial, and he even did more than some people .

Shui Dong’s Innate Ability could weaken the purple-scaled beast’s Demonic Qi; Zhi Rufan’s Innate Ability could raise everyone’s speed, making everyone much more agile . In fact, he had been a part of Cloud Leopard’s four-man squad, one of the only people who had successfully escaped from the Demonic Beast earlier .

As for Jiang Hanfeng and the other two, they had been chosen out of all the Institute’s students, so they naturally had some tricks up their sleeves . They surrounded the beast and attacked together, doing their part in the attack .

Despite this, a low-tier Demonic Beast was still a Demonic Beast . Even though the sixteen-person team worked well together, the purple-scaled beast just wouldn’t die .

Its scales were incredibly durable, and his body constantly emanated a thick Demonic Qi, allowing its wounds to heal at an unprecedented rate . It would also sweep its surroundings with its long tail from time to time .

Demonic Beasts were on another level compared to Vicious Beasts .

This was not only because of their increased intelligence, but their survivability was also drastically different .

Demonic Beasts could use their Demonic Qi to recover any non-fatal wounds .

Su Chen had exploded the Jade-Eyed Cloudroam Beast’s nose, but in the end, it had gathered some Demonic Qi to regenerate its nose .

This was a huge difference between Demonic Beasts and Vicious Beasts .

If Origin Qi Scholars wanted to reach this point, they would need to be at least at the Light Shaking Realm unless they had a secret technique like Devouring the Heavens .

This was also a huge difference between humanity and the Beast Race . The higher one went, the greater the differences would be; this was why the Beast Race dominated most of the continent . Even though the Origin Beasts and Primordial Beasts were in hibernation, the Beast Race, led by the Demonic Beasts, still dominated more than 60% of the continent’s land and resources .

However, the purple-scaled beast before them didn’t have an unlimited supply of Demonic Qi .

Most importantly, because it had grown up in this isolated void, it clearly had limited experience, and its intelligence was also extremely limited .

Because of this, when faced with this onslaught, all it could do was constantly let out enraged howls, sending streaks of purplish-black light in all directions . It didn’t have much battle experience and couldn’t even understand the concept of singling out a target . It was completely helpless against the students .

The “textbook” plan they were executing only worked against opponents who were severely outclassed .

If the Demonic Beast had more intelligence, it would be very difficult to pull off this battle tactic . It would likely target the group’s weakest link ferociously instead of fruitlessly attacking the opponent’s meat shields .

The purple-scaled beast could only attack Wang Doushan and Feng Yigu, giving the others more than enough time to attack .

Even though it tried its best, its Demonic Qi began to thin, and its wounds began to accumulate as strength drained from its body .

The Demonic Beast finally felt fear .

It began to back up, attempting to escape .

“Don’t let it go!” He Yuandong yelled .

Wang Doushan stretched out his wing-like arm . A massive palm descended, seemingly covering the ground, and broke the purple-scaled beast’s legs . Simultaneously, Feng Yigu charged forwards, slamming his palm into the purple-scaled beast’s back . The pain caused it to howl with rage .

Just as they had successfully subdued the Demonic Beast, they suddenly discovered that another purple-scaled beast had emerged from the forest .

This gave them all a bad scare .

How could there be another one?

Earlier, Su Chen and Wu Xiao had only discovered a single Demonic Beast . Unexpectedly, another one had appeared .

Everyone cursed inwardly .

At that moment, Wu Xiao suddenly yelled, “This purple-scaled beast hasn’t reached maturity yet!”

It wasn’t until then that everyone noticed that this purple-scaled beast was noticeably smaller in size . Even though it was still a Demonic Beast, its strength would likely be much weaker than that of a grown purple-scaled beast’s .

However, this news did not give them any relief; rather, their expressions sank even further .

Wang doushan said slowly, “If there are large ones and small ones, doesn’t that mean that there should still be another full-grown purple-scaled beast in the forest? If I remember correctly…… you need a male and a female to make a child, right?”

The others began to panic .

They suddenly understood the full implications of this small detail .

How had they not thought of this? There was no way that these beasts could have lived for tens of thousands of years . There definitely was an ecosystem already present; otherwise, how could there suddenly be another one?

They were too arrogant!

Pi Yuanhong still held onto a trace of hope . “Perhaps this kind of Demonic Beast doesn’t need a male and a female to reproduce? They might be asexual organisms . ”

Wu Xiao replied with some difficulty, “Based on my observations…… that’s not the case . ”

Dammit!

Everyone began to curse .

A steely expression flashed across Su Chen’s face . “Once you release the bow, you can’t stop the arrow . Now that things have progressed to this point, we can only fight to the end . We’ll ignore the one that hasn’t arrived yet . Let’s finish off the one in front of us right now!”

“What are we going to do about the little one?” Feng Yigu yelled as he stared at the small purple-scaled beast .

At this moment, the little one seemed to sense that something wasn’t right . It snarled with rage and charged at them .

Even though the little purple-scaled beast was small, it was still a Demonic Beast . More importantly, if it ruined their formation, the battle would become much more difficult .

If they took too long, then when the other one arrived, they would be in big trouble . At that point, even if they wanted to escape, they might not be able to .

Su Chen yelled, “Leave it to me . You guys take care of that one quickly!”

He charged at the little purple-scaled beast .
