Chapter 467 The Third Insect

“Woof!”

As Big Yellow barked, a giant stone awl emerged from the ground. There was only one, but it was thick, long, and sharp. As such, its momentum was far greater than that of the ten over stone awls in the past. Big Yellow seemed to be mediocre before it did anything. Once it was prepared and made a move, it impressed all. The top of the stone awl penetrated the centipede’s lower body. Consequently, the centipede let out a shrill cry, which sounded more horrifying than when it was injured by the darts earlier.

Ou Yangming had especially refined those darts, which were magic explosive darts meant to be used against a spirit beast.

Although no skills were attached to them, their Explosive attributes were enough to hurt a spirit beast. Nonetheless, the Insects were known to be extremely tenacious. Even after suffering many injuries, they still upheld strong combat powers. Nevertheless, when the centipede’s body was pierced by the stone awl, the situation became entirely different.

It fell hard to the ground right after jumping halfway into the air, then it glared resentfully and in shock at the big yellow dog. ‘How can a little half-spirit beast release such a forceful magic art?’

Following that, the centipede opened its mouth to release a blue light, and it kept moving its legs around. Those legs were like sharp knives, which could slit even the skin of a powerhouse at its rank. If one was wrapped by the centipede, even a formidable spirit beast would be crushed into meat paste. Despite that, Big Yellow backed away at the speed of light. Not only did it evade the centipede exhalation, but it also dodged its sharp pincers. Just as the centipede wanted to seize the opportunity by pursuing the retreating dog, its stomach hurt terribly. It was then when it realized that the stone awl was tougher than it imagined, such that even it could not snap it at all. The centipede fixed its gaze at Big Yellow and came to a sudden realization. It yelled, “A spirit beast… How despicable!”

At last, it saw through Big Yellow’s hidden ident.i.ty.

Big Yellow’s concealing ability was remarkable, but it could not hide its real strength anymore once it attacked. Spirit beasts were not fools, after all. At the very least, the spirit insect was smart enough. The big yellow dog glared at it scornfully and uttered, “A sneak attack… How despicable.”

Furious, the centipede shrieked. The front section of its body landed on the ground and as it twisted its body, the second half of its body rose into the sky. Plenty of blood flowed out from the penetrated spot on its body, causing the stone awl to be painted red in a split second. Even if its wound was being enlarged and its body was under immense pain, the centipede needed to first break free from the stone awl.

At the spur of the moment, it heard the big yellow dog’s bark.

Subsequently, the stone awl that punctured the centipede’s body elongated upwards. The moment it got away from the stone awl, it rose and stabbed its wound again, causing its body to be hung on the awl.

The centipede’s eyes bulged, and it let out an even more terrifying cry. Far away, the goshawk, which was tossing the lizard around as if it was a sandbag, turned to look in confusion. It was bewildered because the Insects from the upper realm had not sent two, but three spirit insects. On top of that, they were from different species.

It was evident that the Insects had a wild ambition.

‘But if the centipede was given such a big responsibility, why isn’t it a match against a newly-advanced spirit beast?’ While the goshawk was puzzled, it did not slow down at all. In fact, it sped up and beat up the lizard terribly, to the extent that the lizard could only groan in pain. The spirit bird wanted to end its fight as soon as possible so it could a.s.sist Ou Yangming.

Having said that, it did not know even though Big Yellow had just become a spirit beast, it was truly gifted and had a better understanding of magic art.

Needless to say, most importantly, the centipede did not identify the big yellow dog’s real ident.i.ty in the first place. It carelessly exposed its weakest body part, which was the biggest reason it suffered a setback. If the centipede was not up against Big Yellow but the goshawk, the situation would be completely different. Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief. He did not throw the remaining magic darts in his hand.

The darts were mighty enough to hurt a spirit beast, but they were made of precious materials, thus he did not want to waste too many of them. While staring grudgingly at the big yellow dog, the centipede turned around and sprawled on the stone awl. It began to move its legs quickly, causing big shards to chip off the stone awl. As a result, the ma.s.sive stone awl was reduced to half its original size in the blink of an eye.

“Woof…”

Big Yellow let out a timely bark at that moment.

A deafening sound was heard coming from the stone awl, which was being tirelessly dug into by the centipede, as it exploded.

The centipede was caught off guard, hence it took a direct blow before it could even shriek.
