Chapter 112: Ancient Juvenile Species!!p2
Lian Xing sat down beside the black-haired woman obediently.
“Little Moon Rabbit, my codename is Black Magpie. You can call me…Auntie Magpie… So, how did you earn the Great Lord Biluo’s favor…?”
“By the way, I heard that the Monarch from Ethereal Thunder Marsh visited Bimen Pass recently. Do you have any insider information…?”
“Is there going to be a war between us and Ethereal Thunder Marsh…?” As expected of a mature woman, she was much more open and conversational…
But Lian Xing wouldn’t casually reveal the Heaven’s Cry Thunderclap Hairpin’s purpose. She just made something up and changed the subject.
After chatting for a bit, Lian Xing asked curiously, “Auntie Magpie, you said your daughter is older than me. Did you give birth before you were 15?”
“…”
“…”
“Well, that’s a long story~~~” the black-haired woman chuckled awkwardly.
But after a moment of hesitation, she told a joke…
Once upon a time, a little girl met a little black bird. They became friends and played together for a few days, and then…accidentally…a little black chick was born.
Ten years later…
The black bird was responsible for the 5-Pet Siege Battle in the “I’ll Measure Your Code” team, and the little black chick was responsible for the 3-Pet Rotation Battle. Mother and daughter, each with their own role.
After hearing Black Magpie’s joke, Lian Xing could barely control her expression.
After a long while, she finally exhaled, suppressing her twitching lips.
This world was truly full of strange people~~~
“It’s almost time. Our match is next. Are you ready?”
“Little Moon Rabbit, I’m looking forward to your performance~~~” the black-haired woman said with a smile, looking at the slightly uncomfortable golden-haired girl.
Lian Xing nodded silently.
She had been assigned to the 4-Pet Hell Survival round.
A 4v4 match.
Actually, in Pet Beast Evolution Battle, 4v4 Hell Survival was relatively unpopular. Most people played 100-Pet Hell Survival.
When this mode was first introduced, its popularity had exploded, far surpassing 100-Pet Battle Royale.
If 100-Pet Battle Royale tested a pet beast’s mobility and awareness, then Hell Survival tested pure defense and dodging ability. After the battle began, the map would simulate an illusory pet beast boss that would attack all players, starting as a Low-Tier Juvenile Species and evolving until no one could withstand its attacks.
The last one standing was the winner.
Although the attacks of the Juvenile Species at the beginning were weak, the main purpose was to determine its final evolution path, allowing the players to prolong their survival time.
“Buzz!!”
At this moment, as a loud noise echoed from the large screen in the resting room, a new message appeared before Lian Xing.
[Next round, ranked battle, about to begin.]
[Soul Hunters]
[VS]
[Dead Ash]
[Please log in to your remote battle devices immediately.]
After these two teams, it would be “I’ll Measure Your Code”‘s turn.
Lian Xing glanced at the team names on the screen, feeling a bit speechless…
Why were the other team names somewhat normal, but the teams sponsored by the Great Lord Biluo…so strange?
But…thinking about it differently…their team name was quite imposing…
Measuring everyone’s…code…upon arrival…
However, as Lian Xing’s mind wandered—
A heavy silence fell over the team resting room.
Not only Black Magpie beside her, but even the captain with the purple scorpion braid held their breath, as if they had forgotten how to breathe.
“Auntie Magpie, what’s wrong? Are they strong…?” Lian Xing asked curiously.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“It’s not about whether they’re strong or not. You’ll understand when that person appears,” the black-haired woman said meaningfully, looking at the innocent golden-haired girl with starry eyes.
Hearing this, Lian Xing blinked thoughtfully.
A moment later, an elegant woman with a dignified demeanor appeared on the screen, sitting at a desk with a microphone, starting her commentary: “Hello, beauties of the Alliance! I’m Xiao Jie, a former Alliance Competition team member. I’ll be commentating on this match today.”
“The 3rd-ranked Dead Ash team versus the 5th-ranked Soul Hunters team. It seems the viewers from all regions will be entertained today~~~”
As Xiao Jie finished speaking, the screen split, revealing a dreamlike battle stage. Seven members from each team stood on opposite sides of the giant stage.
Unlike the Academy League teams, the maximum number of participants in the Alliance Competition was seven. After all, there were four rounds, five people weren’t enough.
The captain of the Soul Hunters was a tall, heroic woman with a black ponytail, dressed in heavy armor.
And the captain of the Dead Ash team…
She looked like an underdeveloped orphan…
The girl, her body thin and frail, had long, silvery-grey hair, her skin pale and bloodless, her eyes two dull, white circles, her expression devoid of any fighting spirit.
“Alright, then please confirm your pet beast lineups for each round~~~”
“…”
“…”
“Ding-dong!!!”
A few seconds later, the lineups for the first round, the 3-Pet Rotation Battle, were displayed. However, Lian Xing was puzzled. The reserve member had just said that the last round, the 5-Pet Siege Battle, was the most important, so why were all the Soul Hunters’ main members concentrated in the first round?
Even their captain had deployed a Royal-Tier pet beast.
Noticing Lian Xing’s confused expression, Black Magpie shook her head, signaling her to continue watching.
Just then, Xiao Jie, the commentator, explained, “Oh, as expected, the Soul Hunters have chosen the point-trading strategy. They’ve completely abandoned the last round~~~”
“After all, everyone knows that the Dead Ash captain ignores everything except the Siege Battle~~~”
So that was it…
This meant that the Dead Ash captain was incredibly strong…
Even other strong teams with similar rankings had to avoid her.
Lian Xing blinked thoughtfully.
But…Black Magpie had said that she would understand when that person appeared… What did that mean?
Judging by the silver-haired girl’s aura, it didn’t seem that special. It shouldn’t be enough to make everyone so tense…, right?
Next were the lineups for the Single Pet Battle and the 4-Pet Hell Survival. As Xiao Jie had said, the Soul Hunters had put all their effort into the first three rounds, completely abandoning the last one. They had even deployed a Commander-Tier pet beast in the final Siege Battle round, a laughable decision.
But…
At this moment, no one could laugh.
The moment the 5-Pet Siege Battle lineup was revealed, a faint aura rippled outwards from the Dead Ash captain, the silver-haired girl.
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In the next second, the venue shook.
An invisible pressure crushed the entire virtual stage.
Xiao Jie, the commentator, who had covered her ears in anticipation, still winced in pain. Since the lineup deployment was based on the pet beast’s aura within the Beast Tamer, this leakage of aura was unavoidable.
Meanwhile, the entire Alliance Competition city trembled.
Even the team resting room where Lian Xing was located was affected by this invisible force field.
“Buzzzzzz—”
“Buzzzzzz—”
Lian Xing’s starry eyes remained unfocused, her expression blank, her ears ringing with a shattering noise.
After a dozen seconds, the virtual stage was finally restored and reappeared on the screen. They could clearly see that except for the Dead Ash captain, all the other members had pained expressions. Even her own teammates hadn’t been spared.
This was just a livestreamed virtual battle…yet it could affect the spectators to this extent…
This life force was terrifyingly powerful…
Even Lian Xing’s highly trained pet beasts spirits had crumbled for a moment.
She could clearly sense the fear emanating from the Heaven-Gracing Curtain, the Red Prison Palace Master, the Mist Colt, and Star Sand.
Perfect evolution, transcendent evolution, full reset, one of the 72 Legends…
All their unique advantages… completely suppressed!!!
The Great Lord Biluo had said that she needed Lian Xing to defeat someone in the Beast Tamer Alliance, even in a virtual battle. It hadn’t specified who, only saying that she would understand when she saw them.
Black Magpie had also said the same thing.
Lian Xing had seen them.
And she understood…
This wasn’t about strength or winning or losing anymore…
This was…
Unseeable!!!
Untouchable!!!
Unquestionable!!!
The absolute ruler of this world!!!
At this moment, Lian Xing’s entire body trembled.
She suppressed the tingling in her scalp and the weakness in her legs, her eyes unfocused as she stood up from the sofa, muttering in a voice filled with awe, “—An Ancient Species—”
“…”
“…”
At this moment, seeing the golden-haired girl still able to stand, the other team members, who had collapsed onto the floor, looked at her with strange expressions.
As a newborn, experiencing an Ancient Species’s aura for the first time was impressive that she hadn’t wet herself, and she had even recognized it?
The black-haired woman, sitting nearby, comforting her bird-wife and bird-daughter within her, corrected her, “To be precise, it’s the descendant of an Ancient Species, not an Ancient Species itself yet.”
“Otherwise, the Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters would have already been crushed by its aura~~~”
“…”
“…”
“Heh…hehehe—” Hearing this, Lian Xing chuckled nervously, her lips twitching.
It was like the uncontrollable laughter caused by a surge of adrenaline during a rollercoaster ride. She was so shocked that she couldn’t control her laughter.
So this was the opponent the Great Lord Biluo wanted her to defeat?
An Ancient Juvenile Species?
With her current strength…she probably wasn’t even qualified to summon her pet beasts before it…
And the Great Lord Biluo naturally hadn’t expected her to break the Ancient Species’s evolution path.
But…no matter the method, even in a virtual battle, as long as she could defeat the Dead Ash captain once, shattering its invincibility, damaging its confidence, the concentration of Ancient blood within the Juvenile Species would decrease significantly.
The Great Lord Biluo…that old thing was quite devious…
But what was it thinking? Did it really believe that she could defeat a descendant of an Ancient Species?
[Commander-Tier — Biological Species — Extinction]
“…”
“…”
“Ahem, after all these years, I’m sure everyone is familiar with the Dead Ash team. The following official matches will be even more brutal… Those with weak hearts or mental illnesses shouldn’t watch~~~” Meanwhile, as the Ancient Species’s aura faded, Xiao Jie, the commentator, quickly regained her composure and began warning the viewers.
The reason the Dead Ash team was ranked third was because the other teams had adopted a point-trading strategy, avoiding them.
However, this silver-haired woman was the uncrowned queen of the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition.
Codename: [Dead Ash]
Team name: [Dead Ash]
Dead Ash, only 19 years old, already considered the future leader of the Beast Tamer Alliance.
At this moment, as all the viewers were still reeling from the Ancient Juvenile Species’s powerful aura…
Unnoticed by anyone—
After the initial shock, a strange desire flickered in the golden-haired girl’s starry eyes.
This strange look…
It was like a baby seeing its favorite toy or a dog seeing…something…
“How…exciting…”
“Great Lord Biluo, although I don’t know the details of your grudge , just defeating her in a virtual battle…how could that be enough?”
“An opponent like this…I have to personally crush her and destroy her Ancient Species evolution path…!!!” At this moment, like a frightened bunny, Lian Xing’s small body trembled uncontrollably.
And the star patterns in her eyes twinkled brightly…as if excited…
Imagine, defeating a descendant of an Ancient Species…how many rare evolution paths could that fulfill?
Conversely, if Dead Ash were defeated, her invincibility and her Ancient blood would be weakened, and the entire Beast Tamer Alliance would be doomed…
But so far, no one had ever done it.
Not even in a virtual battle, let alone a real-life fight to the death.
The Beast Tamer Alliance’s higher-ups didn’t believe anyone could defeat Dead Ash, leaving her to her own devices.
But…
Moon Rabbit Lian Xing didn’t mind playing the role of the villain…
At this moment, in the “I’ll Measure Your Code” team resting room…
The golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, after recovering from her initial shock, calmly sat back down on the sofa.
“Welcome to the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition~~~” Black Magpie said with a smile, looking at the golden-haired girl.
A 2nd-level region was a magical place where monsters like this were born every few hundred or thousand years.
They had simply encountered the right era.
If they were lucky, they might even be recorded in history alongside her.
Hearing this, Lian Xing nodded silently, her buns swaying. Although she seemed calm on the surface…
Her evil and lewd mind was already plotting how to defeat this Ancient Juvenile Species…
Soon, the battle began.
Under everyone’s gaze, the first round of the Dead Ash VS Soul Hunters match, the 3v3 Rotation Battle, began.
“Whoosh!!”
“Whoosh!!”
The camera quickly shifted perspectives.
In a vast, desolate landscape…
As the six pet beasts appeared, one after another, their Beast Tamers were also teleported in.
Notably, in this round, the Soul Hunters captain had deployed her strongest pet beast, determined to trade points…
A few seconds later, a giant heart, as large as a city, appeared in the sky.
“Thump!!”
“Thump!!!”
The heart, as if alive, beat rhythmically, its every pulse emanating an aura of destruction.
[Royal-Tier — Viral Species — Heart Extinguisher]
At this moment, sensing the Heart Extinguisher’s aura, Lian Xing couldn’t help but feel a surge of admiration.
As expected of a star player from a 2nd-level region, even its normal aura far surpassed the awakened forms of the four Cycle of Calamity beasts, on a completely different level compared to those weaklings like the Blood Spirit Orb.
“I’ll go first. Let’s end this quickly…” the Soul Hunters captain, the tall woman with a black ponytail, said coldly.
She could clearly sense that the Heart Extinguisher wasn’t in its best condition. This always happened when they fought against the Dead Ash team.
Even the Beast Tamers, let alone their pet beasts, would be affected for a while…
And the 3v3 Rotation Battle wasn’t about winning two out of three matches, but about defeating the opponent’s last remaining pet beast.
So, as long as they had a super powerful pet beast, they could sweep the entire team.
“…”
“…”
“Thump!!!!!”
Facing the Dead Ash team’s first pet beast, a Royal-Tier, a deafening heartbeat echoed, and the air in the entire desert seemed to crack…
In an instant, everything within a radius of several thousand kilometers, including the opponent’s pet beast, was pulverized by an invisible force.
An instant kill!!!
