Chapter 289: An Earthworm

"Blood, it's blood. Is Brother Tianxin hurt?" Gu Qian was extremely worried. Zhuge Tianxin was surrounded by the hemispherical wall, and without X-ray vision, she had no way of seeing the situation inside. Now that the wall had been pierced by tentacles and blood was flowing out, Gu Qian couldn't help but think that Zhuge Tianxin must have been struck by a tentacle, causing him to bleed.

"That won't happen. Brother Tianxin wouldn't be struck so easily." Although Ye Qingyu said that Zhuge Tianxin wouldn't be hit, the reality was right before her eyes. In her heart, she couldn't believe in Zhuge Tianxin as firmly as before; after all, the guardian beast might be a Spirit Beast.

Moo, moo, moo... The guardian beast continued to call out, but everyone present did not know what kind of emotion was contained in this sound, so they could not judge what was happening inside the hemispherical wall based on its roars.

"Everyone, don't just stand there. Attack quickly! Don't waste the opportunity Zhuge Tianxin created for us." Lei Dun's voice came, reminding the others to attack quickly. His words clearly implied that he believed Zhuge Tianxin had already been struck by the guardian beast's tentacles. After speaking, Lei Dun immediately drew his giant sword and charged toward the guardian beast's tentacles.

"What the hell do you mean? How could kid Tianxin be struck so easily? I think you saw him stealing the spotlight and are intentionally cursing him." Upon hearing Lei Dun's words, Weisi De Kai immediately flew into a rage. He activated his mental power, driving his mechanical armor to charge toward Lei Dun, who was rushing toward the guardian beast's tentacles. He reached to his waist, drew a long blade, and swung it at Lei Dun with full fury.

"You—" Lei Dun hadn't expected Weisi De Kai to attack him over a single sentence. He wanted to curse back, but before he could, the long blade was already upon him. Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to swing his giant sword, shifting his attack from the tentacles to Weisi De Kai.

Clang! A sound of metal colliding rang out. Weisi De Kai's long blade slammed heavily against Lei Dun's giant sword. However, Weisi De Kai was only a Rank 5 Mind User, while Lei Dun was a Rank 7 Mentalist who could break through to Mind User at any time. Even with the augmentation of his mechanical armor, he could not compare to Lei Dun.

Without surprise, the immense force sent Weisi De Kai flying backward rapidly. However, since it was Lei Dun and not an attack from the guardian beast, Weisi De Kai didn't suffer any injuries; only the recoil force made his hand go slightly numb.

"Lei Dun!" Xia Lina shouted angrily. Her mental power erupted, and the mechanical armor on her body burst with rapid speed as she charged toward Lei Dun. A deep blue long spear appeared in her hand, and she struck with both hands, attacking with hatred as she swung the spear heavily at Lei Dun.

"Lya Weisi, he attacked me first—" Lei Dun still wanted to say that Weisi De Kai had attacked him first, but before he could finish, Xia Lina's deep blue spear had already reached him. Helpless, he could only swing his giant sword to block in front of himself, resisting the spear Xia Lina was thrusting.

Boom! A sound of impact rang out. Lei Dun was forced back three steps before he could stand firm. Once steady, his chest heaved violently, and his blood Qi was somewhat unstable, which he forcibly suppressed.

"Lya Weisi, don't go too far. He attacked me first, and I was forced to counterattack. Yet you attack me without distinguishing right from wrong." After stabilizing his breathing, Lei Dun said angrily to Xia Lina.

"I don't care if Brother Weisi attacked you first or you attacked Brother Weisi first. I only know that you hurt Brother Weisi. As long as you hurt Brother Weisi, it won't do." Xia Lina said immediately, her words filled with dominance. She didn't care at all whose fault it was; she would not let anyone who hurt Weisi De Kai go.

"You—" Lei Dun was very angry in his heart, but he had no choice; he could only utter the word "you."

Moo, moo, moo... Just as Xia Lina and Lei Dun were about to fight again, the guardian beast's long roar came from underground once more, startling them both awake.

"Just as I thought. Now, I'll pull you out from underground and let me see exactly what you are." After the guardian beast's long roar, Zhuge Tianxin's voice came from within the hemispherical wall.

"It's Brother Tianxin's voice! Sister Qingyu, Sister Miss Mengli, it's Brother Tianxin's voice! That's great, Brother Tianxin is fine." Hearing Zhuge Tianxin's voice, Gu Qian immediately said excitedly to Ye Qingyu and Nangong Miss Mengli.

Moo, moo, moo... The guardian beast's voice resounded in the ears of everyone present, containing anger; it was clearly very furious at Zhuge Tianxin.

"It's too late now. Come out from underground obediently and let us see what you are, otherwise, I will forcibly pull you out." Hearing the guardian beast's angry roar, Zhuge Tianxin didn't feel any worry; instead, he said contemptuously.

After speaking, suddenly, with a boom, a hole was blasted into the hemispherical wall from the inside. Then, a figure rushed out. After the figure emerged, the hole blasted into the wall shrank rapidly, and before long, it closed completely, showing no signs of any damage.

With both hands spread and pressed onto the ground, his mind power erupted completely. Beneath the hemispherical wall, array energy rose, and the array light shone; an array had already taken shape. Under the illumination of the array light, the hemispherical wall began to change, gradually forming a five-meter-tall stone giant.

The stone giant gripped the tentacles tightly with both hands and pulled backward, wanting to drag the guardian beast from underground through the tentacles. At the same time, its hands were covered in sharp stone spikes. These spikes all pierced into the tentacles. As the stone giant pulled, the spikes on its hands tore the wounds on the tentacles even wider, and blood flowed out again. Suddenly, a pool of blood appeared on the ground.

Moo, moo, moo... The guardian beast screamed in pain, but it did not give up the idea of retracting its tentacles underground. It still pulled the tentacles back with force, causing the wounds to tear even wider and more blood to flow out. The pool of blood on the ground immediately expanded by more than double.

"Still don't want to come out? Then I'll invite you out." Seeing that the guardian beast would rather suffer injury upon injury than come out, Zhuge Tianxin said. After speaking, he pressed his hands, which were on the ground, down with more force. The Earth attribute of the Five Elements was activated, and the soil connected to the tentacles began to soften gradually, like a swamp. Suddenly, the guardian beast underground seemed to lose its grip on the ground and was pulled out a distance by the stone giant, but the guardian beast exerted force in time to stop the momentum, so it wasn't pulled out completely.

"Still resisting? If I can't invite you out, then I'll tie you out." Seeing that after so much effort, the guardian beast still hadn't been pulled out, Zhuge Tianxin was also somewhat indignant. After speaking, he activated the Wood attribute of the Five Elements. Thick vines grew rapidly from Zhuge Tianxin's hands and then quickly pierced into the swampy ground. Amidst the guardian beast's violent roars, he pulled the guardian beast directly out of the ground. At this moment, everyone present finally saw the true face of this guardian beast: it was actually an earthworm. ===== CHAPTER 290 =====
