Chapter 284: Luring the Beast Out of the Mountains

"The Seal has fallen into my hands?"

On the mountain peak where the mountain winds howled, Li Luo looked at the ancient "Seal" character in his palm, lost in thought. Clearly, the Seal on the bluestone had been transferred to his hand.

He sensed it slightly, and some information flooded into his mind, which made his expression shift, and his gaze toward the Seal in his palm became somewhat astonished.

Because from that information, he learned the Dean's purpose in transferring the Seal to him: it was to hope that he could thoroughly suppress and seal the Essence Beast in the forbidden zone.

Of course, with his own strength, he was clearly not qualified, so he needed to borrow the power of this Seal.

In fact, even the power of this Seal alone was not enough; in the past, the Seal could only trap the Essence Beast here, but could not completely suppress it.

Therefore, if he wanted to suppress it, he would still need a perfect opportunity.

For example... the Essence Beast being heavily injured.

This condition was actually very harsh, because Li Luo did not have such ability, and even if a Purple-Glory Mentor from the academy came, it would be relatively difficult to achieve this. This Essence Beast was skilled at concealment; once it hid, even a Purple-Glory Mentor would have no way to find it in these vast mountain ranges.

However... as things stood now, it was not entirely without this opportunity.

Because in Li Luo's original plan, it was to lure this Essence Beast to fight with the Great Disaster-class Otherkind; when two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured.

No matter who survived, they would inevitably be heavily injured, and at that time, by gathering the strength within the stronghold, it might not be impossible to hunt it down.

Li Luo's thoughts turned, but in the end, he suppressed them. Whether he could suppress this Essence Beast was not the most urgent matter; right now, he still needed to borrow the power of this forbidden zone Essence Beast to contend with the Great Disaster.

So, it was better to lure that big guy out first.

Li Luo gazed toward the depths of the mountain range, where clouds and mist swirled. He did not know where exactly that Essence Beast was hiding, and if he wanted to lure it out, he could not just randomly activate his Dual-Phase power. After all, this mountain range was so vast, and his Dual-Phase power was so weak; if he really unleashed it here, the Essence Beast might not be able to sense it.

And last time, he was located in the Dark Spirit Pool.

Li Luo's gaze turned toward the direction of the Dark Spirit Pool. The depths of the Dark Spirit Pool must be connected to certain places in this mountain range, and perhaps even connected to the place where the Essence Beast cultivated.

That was why, even at such a great distance, it could clearly sense it when Li Luo's Dual-Phase power erupted.

Li Luo pondered slightly, then turned and went down the mountain without hesitation, quickly rushing to the Dark Spirit Pool.

The area around the Dark Spirit Pool was now empty, without a single soul.

Inside the Dark Spirit Pool, energy shocks were still constantly sweeping through. Li Luo stood on a large tree closest to the deep pool, then took a deep breath and began to circulate the Dual-Phase power within his body.

Holding dual blades, two streams of Phase power circulated, and then the dual blades slowly swept across. When the tips of the blades touched, two blade lights shot out like crescent moons.

The direction was exactly into the Dark Spirit Pool.

Hum!

The blade light, condensed with Dual-Phase power, was exceptionally sharp; it actually sliced through the surging energy shock and charged directly into the Dark Spirit Pool.

And then it exploded with a boom.

And it was precisely when the Dual-Phase power exploded in the Dark Spirit Pool that, in a dark cave deep within this mountain range, the behemoth lying within suddenly opened its scarlet beast eyes.

The beast eyes looked toward a certain direction with some suspicion; that faint Dual-Phase power had appeared again?

Was it an illusion?

And just as it hesitated, another wave of Dual-Phase power came from the depths of the water pool where it resided. This time, it felt it clearly.

It really was that previous Dual-Phase power!

That human brat who possessed Dual-Phase power had actually appeared again?

Greed and ferocity rose in the Essence Beast's scarlet beast eyes. The next moment, its massive figure suddenly rushed out, and then it charged violently toward that direction.

A trail of dust and smoke appeared in the mountain range.

And the movement in the mountain range was also quickly detected by Li Luo. His expression was grave, and he turned and ran without hesitation. He wove through the mountain forest, galloping toward the river he had come from.

His speed was far inferior to that of the Essence Beast; only by using the speed of the river could he maintain his own safety.

Otherwise, he would fail to lure the tiger and instead fall into the tiger's mouth.

However, the Essence Beast did not yet know that the Seal had disappeared, so when it reached the outer perimeter of the mountain range, it would inevitably hesitate for a while, which would buy Li Luo some time.

The sound of the wind whistled past Li Luo's ears, and the trees on both sides flashed backward continuously.

He pushed his own speed to the limit, running frantically regardless of everything.

This was a race against life and death; he had to open up some distance now, otherwise, when the Essence Beast chased him with all its might, he would fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

And while Li Luo was fleeing frantically, the Essence Beast deep in the mountain range was also gradually approaching the outer perimeter of the mountain range.

The dust and smoke dissipated somewhat, and the appearance of the Essence Beast was gradually revealed. It was a giant beast covered in black armor with three tails. It resembled a wolf, its beast eyes were scarlet, and its giant mouth was full of sharp fangs. A scorching, violent aura sprayed out from its mouth, instantly burning some trees into ashes.

And just as Li Luo expected, as it approached the outer perimeter of the mountain range, the speed of this three-tailed Essence Beast gradually slowed down. Its beast eyes looked with some hesitation and anger toward a mountain peak, where the Seal that had bound it for so long existed.

However, what made it slightly surprised today was that as it approached the outer perimeter of the mountain range, the power of the Seal did not seem to appear.

Had some change occurred?

The three-tailed Essence Beast was somewhat hesitant. It lashed its tail irritably, flattening much of the nearby forest. It could feel that the dual-phase human was running away.

Missing this human brat before had made it regret it deeply; now that he had appeared again, it was simply a gift from heaven, and no matter what, it could not let him go!

This time, even if it had to fight the Seal, it would give it a try!

Thinking of this, a cruel intent appeared in the three-tailed Essence Beast's eyes. Immediately, it hesitated no more, its figure shot out, and the three tails behind it curled up like giant pythons. Astonishing Phase power radiated out, ready to fight the Seal at any time.

Gradually, it reached the outer perimeter of the mountain range.

But what made the three-tailed Essence Beast astonished was that when it stepped out of the outer perimeter of the mountain range, the Seal still had not appeared!

This situation made the three-tailed Essence Beast freeze in place for a moment, and then a feeling of wild joy erupted in its beast eyes. Had that damned Seal finally exhausted its power?!

Truly, heaven is helping me!

From now on, it would be free!

Roar!

A deafening roar resounded through this mountain forest.

Li Luo, who was running, also heard this roar of wild joy, and his eyes immediately sharpened; that Essence Beast had rushed out of the mountain range.

He looked ahead; the sound of the river could already be heard.

Li Luo's figure flashed, passed through the woods, and landed on the river. Water-Phase power surged out from under his feet, and he slid rapidly across the water.

As his figure landed on the river, Li Luo glanced back from the corner of his eye, and then he saw a three-tailed giant beast, carrying a monstrous fierce aura, coming toward his direction as fast as thunder.

Li Luo took a deep breath. Although his heart was beating like a drum, he was not panicked, because the current rhythm was exactly the same as in his plan.

Next, he only needed to lure this three-tailed giant beast outside the stronghold, and everything would be perfect.

Hopefully, it would go smoothly.

Li Luo could only pray like this.
