Chapter 467 - The Third Insect (2/2)

Exploded shards from the stone awl struck the centipede’s softest abdomen, causing it to be covered in holes in an instant. Afterward, the centipede fell to the ground and twisted unnaturally, and its anguished look was unforgettable.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up, and he gave Big Yellow a thumbs-up.

He became rather alert because he realized that timing and tactic played important roles in a fight between spirit beasts.

If Big Yellow had openly exchanged blows with the centipede, it would have a higher chance of being defeated. On the contrary, the tables were turned after an unexpected sneak attack.

An advantageous opportunity turned out to be quite important for powerhouses of such levels.

The centipede kept wriggling its body on the ground. In particular, half of its body’s cross-section was covered with holes, so much so that its body almost snapped. Any living being would be doomed after suffering such an injury, but a spirit insect’s will to live was unbelievable. The centipede arched its body after some time, then it sprung up and pounced on Big Yellow. Ou Yangming’s face changed, but he noticed Big Yellow charging at the centipede without any hesitation. At the same time, its body was enveloped in yellow light. The young fellow was hesitant, but he finally held back and watched quietly. Big Yellow had already suited up long ago and activated the Indestructible Defense on its armor. Judging from the magic tool’s mightiness, Ou Yangming supposed that it could withstand the centipede’s pincers.

“Bam…”

With that, a dog and an insect clashed together, causing dust and soil to fill the air. The centipede moved its numerous legs and attacked Big Yellow as though they were raindrops. Its legs were incredibly sharp as they could even break the stone awl, but ear-piercing grating sounds were heard when they touched the big yellow dog’s body.

For that reason, the centipede withdrew its legs and widened its eyes again. Its legs were not covered in blood and when it looked at the big yellow dog, it noticed that it was wearing unique armor smithed by a human. There were only subtle and unidentifiable marks on the armor.

‘How could my sharp pincers not break the armor’s defense? ‘What’s that?’ The centipede could not help but freeze. It was quite knowledgeable, but it never encountered anything like that.

“This is the lower realm—the lower realm!

‘Could this fella have descended from a certain powerful force from the upper realm…’ Just as the thought crossed the centipede’s mind, it felt immense pain in its body. The pain immediately spread to every part of its body and eventually made it feel powerless. Big Yellow pressed its paw into the centipede’s body, where its specially-made paw gauntlet pierced the insect’s body and reached its flesh. Through the Devouring power, the essence and power in the insect’s flesh gushed into the big yellow dog’s body without an end.

The centipede shrieked, and its body twisted and turned like never before. It seemed to know the situation it was in, and that it would end tragically if it could not get rid of Big Yellow. That said, Big Yellow roared again right after the centipede jumped halfway into the air.

A new stone awl emerged from the ground, and it happened to stick through the initial hole on the centipede’s body. The centipede was in so much pain that it wanted to die. It tried to struggle, but its attacks were blocked by Big Yellow’s equipment. Moreover, the claw in its body had such a forceful suction, causing its vitality to be continuously sucked away. In the beginning, the centipede could still attempt to struggle, but it slowly became powerless because the power in its body was lost. On the opposite, Big Yellow’s body vaguely expanded because it converted the centipede’s flesh and blood for its own. The big yellow dog’s aura boiled so much that even the equipment to conceal its ability could not contain it anymore. Ou Yangming’s face changed, and he shouted, “Big Yellow!”

He adopted the Scale Ability he learned from the bird, thus his voice went straight into the dog’s heart and was unstoppable.

Big Yellow shuddered hard and was reluctant to leave the weak centipede alone. At last, it gritted its teeth and withdrew its claws from the insect’s body.

As soon as its claws left, the centipede felt its vigor recover slowly. Nonetheless, just as it wanted to make a move, it felt tremendous pain all over its body.

Big Yellow and Ou Yangming joined hands and used strong weapons to make it bleed.

An insect might be tenacious, but Ou Yangming and Big Yellow had notable destructive powers. After half an hour, the centipede was slashed into roughly 18 sections and lost the ability to move around. Furthermore, the ground around it was covered in its blood.

Far away, the goshawk shrieked proudly because the b.l.o.o.d.y lizard was no longer breathing. Through their teamwork, three mighty spirit insects were all taken out. However, they did not notice that something red was squirming underground. ‘When did Master have two auras? Did two living beings inherit Master’s power?

‘Hmph, no matter what, taking them down is the right thing to do!’
