BXBX NOVEL Chapter 227 - 221: The Two Escaping for Their Lives
However, despite its apprehension, the Dragon-Devouring Tree, which regarded its master’s orders as its only priority and feared angering its Trainer, ultimately didn’t dare to act recklessly. It could only watch David Jones, who was emitting an enticing aura, move freely in front of it.
As time went by, the sap slowly flowed through the roots and vines of the Dragon-Devouring Tree that covered the entire Earth Labyrinth. A fragrant sweet scent gradually wafted out.
On the other side, on the third level of the Earth Labyrinth.
A feathered, emerald rooster, as if carved from jade, let out a roar with immense momentum.
Astonishingly, it spewed out a terrifying azure frost from its mouth, and wherever the frost reached, the surrounding Beasts were immediately invaded by a spine-chilling, beautiful coldness.
“Pet Name”: Azure Rooster
“Pet Type”: Ice, Crystal
“Species Level”: Commander
Grade”: Class III middle-level
“Potential Level”: Golden A tier
“Species Skill”: Frost Pecking, Azure Erosion, Icestorm Claw, Azure Guard
“Not bad at all,” Quentin Scott nodded in satisfaction.
After taking care of the surrounding Beasts, the Azure Rooster instantly turned mto a green light and leaped onto its Trainer’s head, looking at Quentin Scott with a proud expression.
“Cluck cluck!” (*>«<*) (Mission accomplished!)
“How many times have I told you not to always perch on my head after a battle?”
At this, Quentin Scott couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile. However, the Azure Rooster remained stubbornly on his head, refusing to come down.
Quentin Scott let out a sigh, not even looking as he silently reached up with his right hand, and with a familiar and fluid motion, easily pinched the Azure Rooster’s neck.
“Cluck cluck.” (▼-.▼#) (Let me go.)
Although the Azure Rooster’s wings flapped wildly, its sharp, terrifyingly azure claws below showed no sign of resistance.
Quentin Scott, used to this routine, showed no surprise on his face. After stroking his pet’s feathers, he turned his gaze to the dozen Magic Cores tightly gripped by the Azure Rooster’s claws.
After taking the Magic Cores, Quentin Scott thought for a moment, touched the Azure Rooster’s head, and instructed, “Help me track Claire Guarneri’s scent. If you find her, I’ll reward you with an hour of rest.”
“Cluck cluck.” ( V *) (Deal!)
Hearing this, the Azure Rooster’s sharp eyes instantly lit up. It first looked at its Trainer’s head with joy, and then began to search with renewed energy. At the same location in the third layer of the Labyrinth, among a deserted ruin filled with collapsed buildings, several giant stone pillars lay on the ground, forming a desolate scene with the dark ground.
Surging Wave,” Claire Guarneri commanded.
Next to her, a purple-blue Dragonfish covered in thick, azure water currents snapped into action. Its eyes resembled blue gems, and it had four white horn-like spikes on its head. Its snake-like tail was covered with blue scales on the top and white crystals underneath.
“Pet Name”: Dragonfish Lord
“Pet Type”: Water, Dragon
“Species Level”: Commander
Grade”: Class III middle-level
Potential Level”: Golden A tier
“Species Skill”: Furious Dragon Roar, Deep Whirlpool, Shock Wave, Nirvana “Profile”: Unlike the red-tailed goldfish rumored to have a trace amount of dragon blood’s lineage in its veins, the Dragonfish Lord, one of the Dragonfish Kings, has a high purity of dragon blood in its body. Along with the Tide Spirit and resources obtained from training dragon-type pets, it can instantly evolve mto a powerful dragon of a different type.
Following Claire Guarneri’s command, the water droplets around the Dragonfish Lord converged into a torrential stream. In the blink of an eye the violent water transformed into dozens of colossal water columns, as if giant serpents, hammering mercilessly at the distant rock-formed beast.
Hefty rocks shot up instantly from the earth in front of the rock-constructed beast, forming an indestructible shield of defense.
However, even the solid rock shield couldn’t hold back the water columns for a second facing the Shock Wave that counters rock-type skills.
Even the top-grade Elite-Class species-Stonetitan, a Class III upper-level pet, disintegrated into a pile of pale gravel and a shiny beige gem under this ferocious attack.
“The appearance of a Class III upper-level beast at the third level makes the odds of passing the labyrinth on my own slim,”
said Claire Guarneri, pondering as she picked up the gem core left by the Stonetitan.
Even though the Dragonfish Lord has the advantage of countering rock-types, it merely can take on Rock-type beasts below fourth-order middle position when exceeding its class.
According to her experiences of breaking through the labyrinth, an upper-level
Class IV beast is expected to appear on its sixth level.
Without finding a teammate with decent strength to coordinate with, it would be difficult for her to clear the labyrinth relying on her own power alone.
“No choice, I guess I’ll have to work together with Quentin Scott,” mumbled Claire Guarneri.
On the other side, in the Earth Labyrinth’s third level.
“Eek!”Z(ovo”a (I sense danger!)
Wen Yan suddenly looked at the surrounding walls, sounding rather astonished.
Upon hearing this, David Jones stood still and cautiously scanned the surroundings.
Unlike the labyrinthine passages of floors one and two, the third level was filled with damaged stone tablets and relics, looking widely open and expanded.
Had it not been for the faintly glowing stones and damp air around them, David would have thought they’d returned to the surface.
“Boom,” the earth shook in the distance.
Feeling the increasingly violent vibrations approaching, David Jones looked cautiously, trying to identify the source of the sound, then instinctively entered a battle-ready stance.
As the footsteps approached, David first caught sight of an incredibly eye-catching and sexy figure with her Dragonfish Lord pet. Next, he noticed a handsome-looking youth with an Azure Rooster on his head.
They were sprinting like mad, as if some extremely dangerous thing was chasing them relentlessly.
“Let’s rush over there,” Claire Guarneri said with gritted teeth, looking at the youth, who was standing still at a distance.
I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Quentin Scott furrowed his brows.
He was quite resistant to the idea of causing trouble for an innocent bystander. “All the students that made it to the third level are quite skilled. Only by uniting the power of everyone in this level can we have a chance to fight back. Otherwise, everyone will end up failing the examination!”
“Damn it.”
Hearing Claire’s words, Quentin Scott cursed himself inwardly.. Then, looking at the seemingly clueless David, he shouted: “Run!!!”
