Chapter 196: Tiger Roar and Dragon Chant

Liang Qu told the four beasts to stay where they were and not move, while he took Fu Bo and A-Wei to sneak closer to check.

When the Ze Ling was still a water monkey, ordinary fish couldn't detect him even if they were within two meters, as long as they didn't make eye contact. It was even more so now that he was a Ze Rong.

Even if spirit monsters had keen perception of aura, three zhang away was a safe range for Liang Qu.

A-Wei had a racial talent; when it curled up and didn't move, it was no different from a dead object, its aura suppressed even better than Liang Qu's.

The four beasts were much worse in comparison, and their size was ridiculously large, making it easy to be exposed if they got too close.

Taking A-Wei to within twenty meters, the crimson beast was completely unaware, tearing at beast meat in front of its cave, swallowing it, its dorsal fins trembling with excitement.

A four-meter-long large fish spirit monster lay flat on the sand. Its breed couldn't be identified, and its entire abdomen had been torn open, but it wasn't completely dead, its eyelids still twitching.

With every tear of the crimson beast, a stream of fresh blood surged from the fish's belly.

It was just like a brown bear, liking to eat things alive...

"This guy, it's really fast."

From the first encounter until now, less than an hour had passed in total.

In the short gap, it had actually caught a spirit monster and was eating it openly at the cave entrance.

Liang Qu guessed that a large area nearby was the crimson beast's territory, making it not worry at all about attracting other predators.

A small fish the size of a thumb swam past him, crossing the gaps in the grass, and came to the crimson beast, eating the stray shreds of meat.

A large group of similar carnivorous small fish surrounded the stray blood clusters to eat, and even bolder ones ran onto the large fish to tear at it, leaving in a hurry after succeeding.

The crimson beast didn't care. If a spirit monster snatched the food, it would definitely bite off the other's neck. They were just ants.

Liang Qu reached out his hand.

"A-Wei, it's up to you."

The crimson beast eating at its doorstep proved it was very confident, and the result of confidence was relaxation.

It could be said that this was a better sneak attack opportunity than sleeping.

The Heavenly Water Centipede crawled down from his wrist, drilled into the sand, raised a sand ridge, spread for three feet, and then disappeared.

After a while.

The large fish spirit monster struggled in its death throes. The crimson beast slapped its head with a paw, grabbed several bloody holes with force, and crushed its entire hindbrain through the holes.

The large fish's neck hung limply, the luster in its pupils completely extinguished, and large patches of dust and blood mixed together.

Under the cover of dust, A-Wei drilled out of the sand, biting down on the crimson beast's thigh root.

Bone-eroding pain struck, stimulating the crimson beast's scales to stand up, its aura changing drastically.

The blood mist shook instantly, the small fish fled, and several were scared fainted on the spot, drifting to the bottom of the water.

Sharp claws pierced the water flow, about to crush the Heavenly Water Centipede like a stinking bug, but a strange flow of Qi moved, and boundless water flow imprisoned its sharp claws.

Water prison!

The crimson beast was stunned, then furious. Its entire body's muscles heaved, crimson scales undulating like flames, and violent power splashed like a tidal wave.

What great strength!

Liang Qu's physical strength consumption was like opening a sluice gate, and a feeling of leg weakness surged between breaths.

The power erupted from one forelimb was actually stronger than Liu Jie's!

But this fleeting gap was enough for A-Wei to inject all the poison!

With one strike, A-Wei retreated rapidly. Liang Qu's movements were even faster, drawing out a water tornado, wrapping the Heavenly Water Centipede, and leaving.

Boom!

The crimson beast's sharp claws swung down, the water rolled, cutting through a large patch of water grass. This strike seemed to slap Liang Qu straight in the face, the water tornado under his control dissipated, and A-Wei flew backward.

A large patch of water grass was cleared, and Liang Qu, hiding in the grass, had no more cover. The crimson beast roared and leaped forward.

Liang Qu grabbed the backward-flying A-Wei with one hand, his figure flashed, and he appeared again, having crossed a hundred-meter distance to an open space.

Gravel splashed, and the crimson beast, missing its strike, had no hesitation, moving its four limbs and pulling out a long white steam trail in the water flow.

This was no spirit monster; it was clearly a mountain composed of thick scales and knotted muscles!

"What a fierce big guy!"

The strength of the Great Spirit Monster was much higher than Liang Qu had imagined.

"No need to clash head-on."

A-Wei had successfully injected the poison; he only needed to hold it back slightly, and the victory would still be his.

Seeing the crimson beast attacking again, Liang Qu gave a signal, and the four beasts hiding in another patch of water grass rose up to attack.

When is the best time for a sneak attack?

It's not eating, nor is it sleeping, but the moment of battle!

When confronting an opponent capable of posing a threat, no one, no spirit monster, would have enough energy to observe changes in the outside world. A slight distraction could lead to the risk of losing one's life.

But even without distraction, there was still risk!

Yuan Tou took the lead, charging into the crimson beast's waist and abdomen, actually knocking the crimson beast in the water over to the ground.

Bu Neng Dong, crawling on the ground, followed closely, jumping out with river sand, biting the crimson beast's long tail, and shaking its head crazily.

Quan Tou also helped, its double pincers piercing the water flow, tearing open the crimson beast's dorsal fin membrane, and slashing to the crimson beast's back in one breath.

Bone-eroding pain scratched at its heart. The crimson beast swiped away Quan Tou with a claw, wanting to trample the large crocodile, but another wave of pain like ten thousand ants drilling into its heart stimulated its brain marrow.

The Fat Catfish appeared last, delivering a critical strike. It tried its best to open its mouth, biting firmly onto one of the crimson beast's forelimbs.

The crimson beast prepared to bite, a fishy wind blowing in its face.

In the blink of an eye, Liang Qu suddenly crouched, stepped, and thrust his spear!

The roar of a fierce tiger came head-on, startling the crimson beast's scales to stand up, as if it were a cat with its fur exploded.

Qi and blood rolled, turning into a tiger, entwining around the long spear.

The water flow drilled into the tiger's mouth on the spear neck and flowed out from the tiger's ears. The roaring sound was like a tiger's roar, leaping out from the bottom of the water, thrusting out a stunning electric light.

The crimson beast struggled crazily. It shook off the catfish, flipped over the Finless Porpoise that had charged up again, but it had no room to dodge.

A dazzling cold light emerged from the dim bottom of the water. A patch of broken, drifting water grass was evenly torn in half by the spear blade, the spear tip pointing straight at the crimson beast's chest.

A sharp tiger roar sounded, followed by a "plop," and the spear blade sank in completely.

Liang Qu twisted the spear with force, bringing out a crimson blood hole on the crimson beast's chest, flesh and broken scales spraying out.

No matter how heaven-defying the crimson beast's strength was, one against six meant it had to eat dust!

"Retreat!!"

With one strike, the water prison rose again. Liang Qu's physical strength was completely exhausted, but it also bought time for the beasts to escape.

The Fat Catfish turned and ran, Bu Neng Dong let go of its sharp teeth, pulled its limbs together, and turned into a swimming dragon.

Quan Tou and Yuan Tou, who were already outside the circle, ran even faster.

Liang Qu squeezed out the last bit of physical strength, leaping to a position more than two hundred meters away, watching the crimson beast go mad, chasing the four beasts.

The bottom of the water was turned upside down.

Under intense activity, the Heavenly Water Centipede's poison would only take effect faster. The crimson beast chasing Yuan Tou had its dorsal fins all split. Its balance was already poor, and suddenly its legs went soft, falling to the ground, raising ridges of mud and sand.

"Cover with the net!"

Liang Qu threw out a huge fishing net. Yuan Tou, swimming, caught it with a flick of its body, separated a corner for the Fat Catfish, and the two beasts lined up, covering the crimson beast with the fishing net.

In the world-spinning moment, the crimson beast couldn't distinguish the net mouth at all. The more it struggled, the tighter it became, and the faster the poison took effect.

The green gold net silk rubbed against the scales, making a harsh scraping sound.

The crimson beast's struggling strength grew weaker and weaker, until it stopped moving completely, lying limp on the ground, staring fixedly at Liang Qu, who was riding the large crocodile over, with eyes full of hatred.

The large item was in hand! ===== CHAPTER 197 =====
