Chapter 225: Someone Helping

Full-Time Hunter Record Volume 1, Chapter 227: Someone Helping. "Everyone, get ready." Zhuge Tianxin stood on a stone bamboo shoot, looking at the Earth-Walking Beasts below, preparing to provoke them and then lead them toward Jakes and the others.

Moo—! But just as Zhuge Tianxin and the other six were about to act, the herd of Earth-Walking Beasts suddenly fell into chaos, and many of the beasts in the herd began to cry out in terror.

"What's going on?" Zhuge Tianxin saw the herd suddenly fall into chaos and didn't know what had happened.

"Hahaha! This is truly great. To actually encounter a herd of Earth-Walking Beasts—the Earth-Walking Beast is a treasure from head to toe! First, there's its magic core; the Earth-Walking Beast's magic core is a treasure with extremely strong earth-element affinity. If you embed an Earth-Walking Beast's magic core into the magic array of a mechanical armament, it will greatly enhance the mechanical armament's earth-type magic. Then there's the Earth-Walking Beast's hide; if you can use it to manufacture leather armor, there is a certain chance of creating a precious item, a precious item that can even use earth-type defensive magic. We've really struck it rich this time!" Just as Zhuge Tianxin and the others were puzzled, twelve people—six men and six women, all wearing mechanical armaments—walked out. Among these twelve, the six men and six women stood in two separate groups with some distance between them, clearly two inheritors each leading their own five guardians. Judging by their situation, they had likely formed a temporary alliance to explore the Weisi ruins together. The one speaking was a relatively older young man standing in the middle of the six men.

"Piste, one of the Earth-Walking Beasts in this herd might have reached Rank 8. I think it's better not to provoke them," the inheritor of the six women said with some worry.

"Jilina, what are you afraid of? It's well known on the Hunter Continent that Earth-Walking Beasts have short legs. Even if there is a Rank 8 Earth-Walking Beast among them, so what? With the speed of our mechanical armaments, even a Rank 8 Earth-Walking Beast has no way to catch up to us. But as long as we can kill one Earth-Walking Beast, this adventure of ours will be completely worth it," Piste said confidently.

"Who are these people? To actually come out and cause trouble at a time like this," Weisi Weisi De Kai said, speechless after seeing Piste and the others appear.

"Seriously, to come and cause trouble at this time. Why don't we strike first, provoke the Earth-Walking Beasts, and then use them to drive those people away?" Xia Lina also said.

"It's fine. We originally wanted to provoke the Earth-Walking Beasts anyway. Now that someone is helping us provoke them, why should we drive them away? I was originally worried that if we didn't hide well enough, we'd be discovered by Jakes. Now, even that problem is solved," Zhuge Tianxin said upon hearing the words of Weisi Weisi De Kai and Xia Lina.

Moo—! Just as Zhuge Tianxin and the others were talking, Piste, Jilina, and the others had already made their final decision and launched an attack on the Earth-Walking Beast herd, immediately triggering a series of angry roars from the herd.

"Quick, attack that injured Earth-Walking Beast together. After killing it, immediately use the space device to store it, then leave at once." Although Piste felt they could retreat unscathed from the Earth-Walking Beast herd, he didn't dare linger, wanting only to kill one Earth-Walking Beast and leave immediately.

"Water Dragon Bullet!" "Freezing Ray!" "Water Tornado!" "Exploding Flowing Water Fist!" Hearing Piste's words, everyone attacked the Earth-Walking Beast that had been injured by Piste earlier. However, they all used water-type magic attacks, which were completely ineffective against the earth-type Earth-Walking Beasts. The injured Earth-Walking Beast even felt these people were being ridiculous, so it even relaxed some of the defensive preparations it had made earlier.

"Eight Thunders Boom." However, just as the injured Earth-Walking Beast relaxed its vigilance, a lightning-type attack suddenly descended from the sky, slamming down toward the injured Earth-Walking Beast.

Boom—! Eight bolts of lightning heavily struck the injured Earth-Walking Beast. Instantly, the injured Earth-Walking Beast was blasted directly into the ground by the lightning, wailing in pain continuously. At this moment, the Earth-Walking Beast had been blasted until its entire body was charred black, and it even emitted the scent of roasted meat. Clearly, it had suffered a very heavy injury, and not long after, it breathed its last, dead as could be.

"Quick, it's dead! Quickly store it in the space ring, then leave immediately!" Piste shouted loudly upon seeing that the injured Earth-Walking Beast had breathed its last.

"Yes!" Hearing Piste's words, a man who had been hiding in the stone bamboo shoots immediately ran out, and with a flash of light from his space ring, he directly stored the dead Earth-Walking Beast into the space ring.

"Everyone, retreat immediately!" Seeing that the man had already stored the dead Earth-Walking Beast into the space ring, Piste shouted immediately, telling everyone to retreat.

Humming Wengwengweng, hearing Piste's words, the six men and six women, including Piste, immediately activated the arrays within their mechanical armaments, flew out toward the rear, and left directly.

Moo—! The sound was earth-shaking. An Earth-Walking Beast had been killed by Piste and the others with lightning speed, which completely enraged the Rank 8 Earth-Walking Beast. The Rank 8 Earth-Walking Beast let out a roar and took the lead in chasing in the direction Piste and the others had fled. Following it, all the Earth-Walking Beasts followed, clearly filled with hatred for Piste and the others who had killed their companion.

"Damn it, kid Tianxin, they actually stole your method. This is too inhumane, right?" Weisi Weisi De Kai saw Piste and the others first use water-type attacks on the injured Earth-Walking Beast, letting the Earth-Walking Beast be drenched in water, and then, taking advantage of the wounds, use lightning-type attacks to conduct the lightning through the water to its entire body. This way, they could guide the lightning into the wounds, and the flesh and blood within the wounds could conduct electricity, allowing them to guide the lightning into the Earth-Walking Beast's internal organs. Even if the Earth-Walking Beast had the strongest defenses, it would be useless. This was a complete replica of the internal destruction method Zhuge Tianxin used when fighting the Giant Beast-Formed Human and the Blue Giant Beast-Formed Human.

"This guy named Piste is indeed very smart, but this is even better. This way, someone is helping us, and we save a lot of effort." Zhuge Tianxin didn't care at all about Piste stealing his method, as Weisi Weisi De Kai mentioned; instead, he was very happy. Because the smarter Piste was, the more capable he would be of escaping from the Rank 8 Earth-Walking Beast. This way, he didn't need to provoke the Rank 8 Earth-Walking Beast himself. As long as he led them to where Jakes and the others were, the Earth-Walking Beasts would inevitably attack Jakes and the others. Why not happily accept this kind of help from others?

"Let's follow them too. Since someone is helping us for free, why shouldn't we take advantage of it?" Seeing that Piste and the others had already left and were flying toward the depths of the ruins, Zhuge Tianxin immediately called for everyone to follow in the direction of Piste and the others. ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
