Chapter 49: Rock Giant Python

"Take him down together!" The middle-aged Monster Tamer frowned slightly; Li Zhangsheng was far too calm, which made him feel a faint sense of unease in his heart, but the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired.

The next moment, the two men quickly summoned their Demon Pets. As the Blood-colored Hexagram vanished, two Demon Pets of different forms appeared before them.

They were a Rock Giant Python and a Wind Wolf. The Rock Giant Python was nearly ten meters long, its earth-brown skin like rock, and its tail resembled that of a fish. Compared to the Wind Wolf, its aura was clearly stronger—a genuine Mid-Rank Beast.

From the very beginning, the middle-aged Monster Tamer had revealed his trump card; even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength, let alone when Li Zhangsheng made him feel uneasy.

While they were releasing their Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng gave his Monster Pet Bag a shake, summoning the Paradise Bird and the Burrowing Mouse.

"Paradise Bird, Burrowing Mouse! Oh no, they are both Mid-Rank Beasts!" Upon seeing Li Zhangsheng's two Spirit Beasts, the middle-aged Monster Tamer's heart surged with intense waves. For a moment, his temper flared, and his inner unease spread rapidly.

This time, he had kicked an iron plate!

Most importantly, Li Zhangsheng's two Demon Pets were both Temporary Spirit Pets.

If his Temporary Spirit Pets were this powerful, one could only imagine what Li Zhangsheng's contracted Demon Pets were like.

"Sir, it is all a misunderstanding. We had no intention of offending you, please show mercy..."

At the first opportunity, the middle-aged Monster Tamer wanted to bow his head and admit his mistake; compared to his life, what was face worth!

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhangsheng.

"Where do you get so much nonsense? Take them down!" The other party wanted to rob him and even threatened his life; how could Li Zhangsheng easily let them go?

It was only because Li Zhangsheng belonged to the stronger side; if Li Zhangsheng were on the weaker side, wouldn't he be at their mercy?

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the two Demon Pets immediately launched their offensive.

On the ground, the Burrowing Mouse touched the earth, its four limbs flashing with bright yellow radiance, which poured continuously into the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the ground where the Rock Giant Python stood suddenly changed; the soil rapidly turned into sand and began to rotate. Before the Rock Giant Python could react, its heavy body sank into the quicksand.

There was no help for it; the Rock Giant Python was too clumsy, which made its speed slow, and coupled with the Monster Tamer's delayed command, its reaction was inevitably a beat behind.

In the quicksand, the Rock Giant Python struggled violently, but its heavy weight hindered its movements significantly, and most of its body had sunk into the quicksand. Even with its desperate struggles, it still could not break free.

At this moment, the Paradise Bird swooped down, its body spinning rapidly, its sharp Bird Beak flashing with a cold glint as it pecked toward the Wind Wolf's head.

The Paradise Bird's speed was very fast; by the time the Wind Wolf reacted, it was clearly too late, and it was struck in the head by the Paradise Bird's sharp, slender Bird Beak.

Crack!

Accompanied by the sound of shattering bone, the Wind Wolf's hard skull was pierced through, causing its brains to burst out, red and white fluids splattering everywhere, and it fell heavily to the ground.

After twitching a few times, the Wind Wolf stopped moving altogether.

The moment the Wind Wolf died, the young Monster Tamer suffered a backlash; his Consciousness Sea shook violently, and feeling a sweetness in his throat, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his expression listless.

After killing the Wind Wolf in an instant, the Paradise Bird flapped its wings and began to fly toward the Rock Giant Python.

If it were besieged by the Paradise Bird and the Burrowing Mouse, even with the Rock Giant Python's astonishing defense, it probably wouldn't last long.

"Not good!" The middle-aged Monster Tamer's expression changed drastically, and as his Mental Power stirred, he summoned two more Demon Pets at once.

These two Demon Pets were a Flame Colt and a Sharp-Beaked Porcupine.

The Flame Colt was entirely fire-red, without a single stray hair, and the mane on its tail burned with raging flames; its size was similar to a Lightning Zebra, both being Demon Pets suitable for riding.

Perhaps because they had accompanied the middle-aged Monster Tamer for a long time, both Demon Pets possessed the strength of a Lower 9th Rank. But limited by their quality and resources, they had never been able to achieve a breakthrough, which was also the main reason why the middle-aged Monster Tamer, despite his advanced age, remained a First-rank Beast Master.

Under the middle-aged Monster Tamer's command, the Flame Colt opened its mouth and spat out a scorching Flame Pillar, sweeping toward the Paradise Bird.

On the other side, the Sharp-Beaked Porcupine shook its body vigorously, and the white spines on its back instantly detached, emitting a harsh, piercing sound as they broke through the air, as if to completely cover the Paradise Bird.

God's Protection!

At the critical moment, the Paradise Bird shook its wings, and a strong, milky-white halo emerged, turning into a circular shield that enveloped its body from all directions.

The next moment, the Flame Pillar and the spines landed one after another on the shield, emitting soft collision sounds; unfortunately, apart from causing ripples to spread, the shield showed no signs of breaking.

"Sir, we admit defeat this time. As long as you are willing to let us go, we are willing to give you some compensation!" Seeing the situation becoming increasingly dire, and acting on the thought that 'as long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about firewood,' the middle-aged Monster Tamer began to beg for mercy. As long as he kept his life, he might be able to take revenge later.

"In your dreams!" Li Zhangsheng curled his lip. He could not let the two of them go; he was still a First-rank Beast Master, and although he could easily defeat them, who knew if they had powerful friends or relatives? If he let them go, they might continue to cause him trouble.

He would not do the deed of releasing a tiger back into the mountains, nor did he disdain to do so; his creed was very simple, and that was to nip danger in the bud!

The next moment, the Paradise Bird changed direction; instead of continuing to rush toward the Rock Giant Python, it charged toward the middle-aged Monster Tamer.

Chirp—

During its flight, the Paradise Bird let out an exceptionally loud cry, its whole body shining brightly as countless white light spots gathered, transforming into a Light Flame Giant Sword a zhang long, slashing toward the middle-aged Monster Tamer.

"Sharp-Beaked Porcupine, block it!" At the critical moment, the middle-aged Monster Tamer had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose to sacrifice the pawn to save the knight.

Without any hesitation, the Sharp-Beaked Porcupine radiated light, its body spinning rapidly as it took the initiative to collide with the Light Flame Giant Sword.

Unfortunately, the moment they made contact, the Sharp-Beaked Porcupine's rotation was forcibly stopped, and a look of terror appeared in its eyes.

But before the Sharp-Beaked Porcupine could take any action, the Light Flame Giant Sword sliced through its body, leaving a bloody gash while simultaneously erupting with brilliant light, exploding with a boom; countless milky-white energy waves surged everywhere, enveloping everything within a radius of several meters.

When the light dissipated, the Sharp-Beaked Porcupine was already lying on the ground, covered in wounds, blood staining the ground red; although it was not dead, it had lost its ability to fight.

From the perspective of the situation, this was simply a crushing victory.

"Damn it!" Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the middle-aged Monster Tamer made a prompt decision; he immediately mounted the Flame Colt and, ignoring the young Monster Tamer, tried to escape on the Flame Colt.

"Run? Can you run away!" At the same time, Li Zhangsheng pursed his lips.

In an instant, a Purple Hexagram appeared.

Roar—

Accompanied by a heart-palpitating roar, a fierce, fishy wind swept through the surroundings, and Aixi appeared before Li Zhangsheng with her head held high.
