Chapter 947: Behemoth Battle I (2/2)
”A good show from General Huang! It's been caught! It's really been caught!”
”Truly impressive!”
The oppressive and nervous mood instantly evaporated, and the Tang soldiers slightly relaxed. What man feared the most was the unknown. Only when one faced down this divine Arabian Behemoth did one truly understand how much fear and danger one could feel. The strength of man seemed immaterial in the face of such an enormous beast.
But a simple subsidence technique from Huang Botian's group had succeeded in using this beast's own weight against it to capture it in the earth.
”Kill it!”
The morale of the soldiers swelled, all of them anxious to strike. With the Behemoth trapped under the ground and unable to move, it could only wait to be slaughtered.
”Lord Marquis, I will bring some men to kill it!”
Xue Qianjun clasped his hands together, his eyes blazing. The countless soldiers behind him were also ready to attack. While the beast was still trapped underground, they could attack as one. No matter how formidable and dreadful it was, how heavy it weighed or how thick its skin, the only thing awaiting it was death!
Enough ants could gnaw an elephant to death!
”Wait!”
Wang Chong suddenly raised his hand to halt his men.
His brow was tightly furrowed, his expression as grave as it could be. With the beast captured, the strategic objective had been achieved, but for some reason, Wang Chong still felt extremely uneasy, as if things were not as simple as they seemed.
”Hmph!”
No one noticed that while the Behemoth was trapped underground, the red-robed commander of the Behemoth Army, Masil, was coldly sneering, a smile dripping with derision on his face. One was being far too childish if they believed a meager land subsidence technique would be enough to deal with the Behemoths that he had personally trained.
If the Behemoths were really that easy to deal with, they would have never become one of the anchors holding down the Arabian Empire, much less an army that made all the surrounding countries quail in fear.
”How foolish!”
Masil was not one bit perturbed that the Behemoth had been trapped underground. These Tang men of the east had no idea what sort of power they were facing. He had noticed that pit in the ground. He had not commanded the Behemoth to go around because he did not care, because it did not matter.
Bang!
As if responding to Masil's thoughts, the trapped rhino-shaped Behemoth roared as its enormous body suddenly exploded with a mountain-sundering strength. Booom! The rocks, dirt, and gravel in a radius of several dozen zhang exploded, blowing the energy of the land subsidence art into bits as well. As debris flew through the air, the Behemoth shook its body and jumped out of the hole.
After a moment of stunned disbelief, the soldiers began to panic.
”Not good!”
”The monster managed to get free!”
”Careful, careful! Get back!”
The astonishing strength the Behemoth had used to break free had left all of them flabbergasted and fearful. The land subsidence art had only further provoked it, and its body seethed with savagery and killing intent.
Rooooar! The golden horn waved through the air, stirring up gusts, and the Behemoth began to charge at the first defense line once more.
”Beast, stop for me!”
A thunderous roar echoed through the skies, and a huge fist made of countless bits of stone smashed against the rhino-shaped Behemoth's head.
”Stone General!”
”No, that's General Huang Botian!”
Under the sunlight, a massive general made of stone rose from the earth to appear next to the Behemoth. The enormous physique was five to six times larger than the ordinary form of the Stone General.
Stone General, Advanced Form!
This was the Stone General formed from the combined might of Huang Botian and the other five Earth element warriors. These six warriors were divided amongst the head, arms, body, and legs, their combined abilities working to form this Stone General of unprecedented size.
