Chapter 63: Bloodline of the Dark Demon Wolf King

Seeing the yellow sand grains attacking, the Long-haired Lion subconsciously closed its eyes, continuing to launch attacks based on instinct.

The Burrowing Mouse did not dodge completely; several wounds appeared on its back, but these wounds were not deep, amounting to mere flesh wounds.

"Long-haired Lion, Bite!" Li Tianyu issued the command to continue the attack.

The moment it landed, the Long-haired Lion turned abruptly, baring its sharp fangs, and pounced with lightning speed toward the Burrowing Mouse, which was trying to put some distance between them.

"Burrowing Mouse, Giant Sound!"

In the critical moment, the Burrowing Mouse took a deep breath, its cheeks puffed up high, and it opened its mouth to the maximum extent, emitting an extremely sharp noise.

Giant Sound, a skill inherited from the Xi Mouse, can not only cause a certain amount of damage to the opponent but also forcibly interrupt the opponent's next move.

Of course, some Spirit Beasts with special life forms can be immune to sound-based skills, but the Long-haired Lion is naturally not among them.

Under the piercing sound waves, the Long-haired Lion showed a pained expression, feeling its ears buzzing, with wisps of fresh blood gushing out; it fell to the ground in a sorry state, its Bite skill forcibly interrupted.

Not far away, Li Tianyu's expression changed slightly; because he was closer, even just from the aftermath, his ears showed signs of temporary deafness.

"Take this chance to use Quicksand Hell!" To facilitate better performance for certain Demon Pets, the soil quality of the arena was not solid.

Before the Long-haired Lion could recover, the Burrowing Mouse's four limbs flickered with bright yellow radiance, which poured continuously into the earth.

In the blink of an eye, the ground near the Long-haired Lion changed suddenly; the soil rapidly turned sandy and slowly rotated to one side. Before the Long-haired Lion could react, its four limbs had sunk into the quicksand.

In the rotating quicksand, the Long-haired Lion felt intense restraint and was unable to break free from the quicksand's hold for a time.

"Burrowing Mouse, Crushing Claw!"

Taking this opportunity, the Burrowing Mouse rushed toward the Long-haired Lion along the ground, its right claw wrapped in white light, waiting for a chance to attack the Long-haired Lion's abdomen.

Like most beast-type Spirit Beasts, the Long-haired Lion's abdomen is its weak point. Once hit by Crushing Claw, the consequences would be very serious.

"Long-haired Lion, use Earth Flow Tail!" Li Tianyu reacted extremely quickly; since it couldn't be avoided, then they would go head-to-head.

In the rotating quicksand, the Long-haired Lion's tail stretched out straight like a steel whip, with earth-yellow radiance flowing over it. Accompanied by a piercing sound of breaking air, while the Burrowing Mouse tore at the Long-haired Lion's abdomen, the Long-haired Lion's Earth Flow Tail also struck the Burrowing Mouse.

Squeak—! Roar—!

Under the massive force, the Burrowing Mouse was sent flying directly, but the Burrowing Mouse has strong resistance to Earth Element skills, and coupled with the fact that the Long-haired Lion did not use its full strength, it naturally did not lose much stamina.

Compared to the Burrowing Mouse, the Long-haired Lion's condition was much worse; its abdomen was savagely torn open, revealing a bloody, mangled wound. As fresh blood gushed out, a small section of intestine could even be seen dangling outside.

Even though the Long-haired Lion had not lost its ability to fight, it had suffered near-critical damage and had fallen into a state of continuous blood loss; the longer it lasted, the more blood it would lose.

"Burrowing Mouse, give it the final Earth Wave!"

"Fight to the end, use Earth Split!"

The two voices sounded almost simultaneously. While the Burrowing Mouse was condensing Earth Element energy, the Long-haired Lion endured the intense pain, raised its right claw high, and with earth-yellow radiance surging violently, it stomped hard onto the ground.

Boom—!

A violent roaring sound erupted; the ground seemed to be torn open, and a crack spread rapidly, appearing instantly beneath the Burrowing Mouse.

At the same time, the Burrowing Mouse spat out a torrent of Earth Element energy, which was the first to engulf the Long-haired Lion.

When the Earth Element torrent vanished, the Long-haired Lion let out a wailing sound, unable to endure any longer; it collapsed heavily to the ground, powerless to stand up again.

On the other side, a surge of Earth Element energy erupted from the ground crack, and the intense impact threw the Burrowing Mouse high into the air before it slammed heavily onto the ground.

Unfortunately, Earth Split is ultimately Earth Element damage, making it difficult to cause too much harm to the Burrowing Mouse; even so, the Burrowing Mouse had almost suffered critical damage.

Soon, the Burrowing Mouse stood up again, subconsciously looking at Li Zhangsheng; its eyes were smiling, and it made the gesture for an extra meal again.

"Well done, tonight food will be provided without limit; eat as much as you want!" Regarding the Burrowing Mouse's actions, Li Zhangsheng was a bit amused, but he still responded.

It was rare for the Burrowing Mouse to be so brave, defeating opponents consecutively, which almost put Li Zhangsheng one foot into the Finals; naturally, he had to give some rewards, and besides, with its size, it couldn't possibly eat Li Zhangsheng into poverty.

"Phew, you've already done very well, Long-haired Lion!" Li Tianyu frowned slightly; with the Long-haired Lion defeated, he only had one Demon Pet slot left.

Without a doubt, the situation was very unfavorable for him!

In Li Tianyu's view, he had to advance to the Finals, otherwise, he would miss out on the recommendation slot for the Highest Academy.

After recalling the Long-haired Lion, Li Tianyu stared at Li Zhangsheng opposite him and said, "Your strength is very strong; if you don't use it again, I'm afraid there won't be another chance!"

As he spoke, a brilliant Purple Hexagram appeared, and immediately after, a massive Dread Wolf appeared on the field, staring at the Burrowing Mouse with malicious eyes.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Dread Wolf (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Mid-level 6th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Low-level Warrior

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Mid-grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Dark Demon Wolf King (Sparse)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Darkness

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Light

Even though both were Mid-Rank Beasts, due to the gap in realm and race, the Dread Wolf's strength was clearly stronger, not to mention that the Burrowing Mouse had little stamina left.

Awoo—!

Staring at the Burrowing Mouse, the Dread Wolf let out a roar of astonishing power; the sound was like Thunder, echoing in all directions. Under the intense pressure, the Burrowing Mouse could not help but take a step back, revealing a fearful look.

The Burrowing Mouse has a timid personality; under the Dread Wolf's intense pressure, how could it not be terrified? However, thinking of the unlimited food for dinner, the Burrowing Mouse barely suppressed the fear in its heart.

Looking at the Dread Wolf on the field, Li Zhangsheng's expression remained unchanged. Although the Dread Wolf was decent, it could not possibly defeat the combination of the Burrowing Mouse, Paradise Bird, and Aixi, and would ultimately be unable to escape the fate of defeat.

As long as Li Zhangsheng did not make a fatal mistake, the Highest Academy recommendation slot had almost become his for the taking.

"Burrowing Mouse, Mud Shot!"

The Burrowing Mouse stood on its hind legs, raised its forelimbs high, and Earth Element energy condensed rapidly, turning into two bucket-sized globs of mud, which it threw rapidly toward the Dread Wolf.

"Dread Wolf, Sprint!"

Just at this moment, the Dread Wolf took a step; its speed was very fast, and it easily dodged the two globs of mud, appearing in front of the Burrowing Mouse in an instant.

Squeak—!

Amidst the Burrowing Mouse's screams, the Dread Wolf collided with it head-on, sending it crashing heavily to the ground; after struggling a few times, it never climbed back up.
