Chapter 1422: Chapter 1422
1422: Chapter 1418: Hunting 1422: Chapter 1418: Hunting The Life system, to be more precise, the Beast Tamer system, as its name suggests, is often the trump card against all kinds of Magical Beasts.
They possess many abilities specifically targeting various Magical Beasts and Beasts….
but in fact, Lu Ping’an, who had already consumed the roles of a “Beast Tamer” and “Gardener,” was likely capable of launching special attacks on most life forms.
The brilliant Mars continued to burst, yet the blaze steadily decreased in size.
She didn’t lack resistance, she even tried to get closer, to attack Lu Ping’an….
but given her mobility and detailed ranged attacks, catching the rather agile Lu Ping’an was too difficult.
She was clearly too arrogant.
She believed that, as a war machine, she wouldn’t fall on such a level of battlefield, thinking that even if those weaker could harm her, they wouldn’t be able to kill her quickly….
She was reckless but not stupid; she had planned to drag her peers into this deadly battle.
“I’ve depleted more than half of the opponent, aren’t you going to finish them off now?”
There always needs to be someone who acts as fodder for attrition, and Crimson Star was willing to expend herself, even risking her life….
Of course, she believed she wouldn’t die, which was crucial.
The “split reproduction” similar to a starfish was an instinct of her species, which she evolved into her own rule….
Many high-level Demons biochemically modify their traits, and such methods often yield pure and highly adaptive abilities, thus they are naturally powerful and reach a high threshold.
But continuously dividing offspring naturally leads to the death of the mother….
She extracted her consciousness and soul, placing them within those Crimson Stars.
The body is just a vessel, merely a weapon for disseminating rules and contamination; theoretically, as long as she maintains balance and stability, she can explode infinitely.
But at that moment, she encountered her natural enemy….
The body’s instincts were uncontrollable, having just recovered a bit, it erupted once again.
Worse yet, this time she actually produced some “offspring”….
Even though the next moment those offspring were incinerated into ash, it also meant that her root, soul, and core began to split.
Reproduction is an instinct of life forms; she had enhanced this aspect into her own weapon, making her body highly prone to loss of control in this area….
and the cruel hunter facing her had the ability to magnify her biological instincts.
Unable to endure, unable to withstand, the rule-level Beast Taming ability continuously erupted, “arrows” as a one-time modular carrier proved to be costly but very effective.
With every explosion, her essence began to dissipate; already many “offspring” appeared, each taking a part of her.
Feeling death, her reproductive instinct became even stronger….
She could no longer regather and devour it, and more and more offspring successfully escaped.
And these little creatures, having merely run two laps on land, directly “withered” due to the unsuitable environment of this planet.
Another round of explosions occurred, even though she had shrunk to the size of human limbs, those eyes still stared at her relentlessly.
Finally, as the massive body of the Three-Headed Dragon appeared in the distance, what remained at the scene were only blasted pits and shattered “stars” on the ground.
In front of those eyes that peek into the truth, Life cannot hide itself.
“…Ah, it seems like there’s trouble now.”
And this time, what she faced was a furious eighth-tier Overlord.
This day’s battle was particularly lengthy.
They had been fighting until midnight when the high levels of both sides began to retreat…
At that time, due to some covert attacks, the Octopus’s position had already suffered too many additional losses.
The Three-Headed Dragon, wanting to avenge its comrades, was originally unwilling to leave, but it faced threats from behind and had no choice…
At least, that’s what it roared.
As it left, it threw a bunch of harsh words at Lu Ping’an, leaving him somewhat bewildered…
Uh, why is the pressure not as high as on the first day?”
Clearly, the performance on their part was qualified, but they obviously lacked effort.
So, the next day, their retaliation came…
At least on the frontline battlefield, assaults from thunderstorms, tsunamis, and Poison Liquid caused significant losses.
But when it came down to the hard fight, even Lu Ping’an felt intimidated by the opponent’s fury and might…
“This pressure isn’t even as much as on the second day…”
Well, are they just playing it by undeclared agreement again?
Of course, Lu Ping’an knew all too well; having proven his combat power, the foe no longer needed to test him.
However, Lu Ping’an was a bit confused…
“A comrade died, and they were King Level, just like that, without any concern?”
Lu Ping’an had actually prepared to face a fierce counterattack from the opponent, who then vented all their force on him…
It seemed natural, but both sides fighting fiercely only to stop just short of the end, essentially meant they fought in vain from the result.
Especially since Lu Ping’an had already developed an “Antidote” targeted at the opponent and his body had evolved resistances, making the fight much easier.
“Octopus, being a collective of countless tribes, each Advanced Combat Power might be a tribal head or Chieftain; they aren’t actually one race, one nation.
Midway through, there are often death fights and enslavement amongst them; how could they possibly join forces in hatred…”
Big Cat saw everything very clearly… The whole thing was just for show for the other side, pretending to be furious and seeking revenge, knowing they couldn’t win, so they had no choice but to give it up.
However, he was the highest existence in this line of battle; therefore, as long as a passable report was submitted afterwards, everything else could simply be ignored…
Chances are, they might even be secretly holding banquets, celebrating having one less trouble.”
In fact, Big Cat’s guess was right; the Three-Headed Dragon truly wasn’t acting in this private context.
But having dealt with a King Level existence, Lu Ping’an felt something subtle.
weaker than expected?”
“Who do you think can bring out a perfectly countering Rule?”
Normally, unless prepared in advance, to kill an existence above Rule-level would involve a prolonged battle of attrition.
It’s like both sides pouring water from their bottles into a bowl, continuously neutralizing each other until one runs dry.
“The Rule that counters the opponent’s Rule is like smashing their bottle directly, and your use is just right, turning the opponent’s Rule into your own weapon…
the bottle turns directly into a nozzle, making her die even faster.”
Lu Ping’an nodded; he had also noticed that, likely at an equivalent level, other Extraordinary Systems really don’t have the strength of Rule-level.
At least, it wouldn’t be as easy for him to kill a human Rule-level; it ended in less than three hours…
“However, Xue En managing to hold that person off for three hours really surprised me; how did he do it…”
Because Xue En hadn’t returned.
It wasn’t that he died on the battlefield, but according to witnesses, during the most chaotic moment of the battle, the Panda-man unfortunately fell into a space rift… In fact, he dragged the Three-Headed Dragon into it too, but the opponent returned noticeably faster.
Finding his way back next month would be another story entirely…
