Chapter 231: Third Phase, Another Shockwave! (1/2)
The three King Rank magical beasts quickly caught the maps thrown at them. When they sensed the faint undulations the maps were emanating, they were overjoyed.
This is indeed a treasure!
They quickly put away their respective maps and started focusing on each other. As for Bai Xiaofei and the Earth Infants, they had been completely forgotten.
“Hand them over. Or else, both of you will die!” The Steel Rhinoceros was as forceful as ever. He spoke with a deep tone laced with threat.
“Yes, you are strong. But if the two of us work together, you might not be able to emerge victorious!” said the Draconic Man, who was already standing beside the Toxic Overlord Butterfly. The Toxic Overlord Butterfly was not attacking him either. Instead, he was eyeing the Steel Rhinoceros aggressively. The strong would dominate while the weak would converge. This was something unchanging since times immemorial, a choice even magical beasts would make.
“Since you guys don’t want to play nice, I will have to show you the gap between us!” said the Steel Rhinoceros before he charged them. With each step he took, his massive limbs would create a shockwave that would attack both the Toxic Overlord Butterfly and the Draconic Man. But the two were no pushovers either. If they were not capable of contending against the Steel Rhinoceros, they wouldn’t have bothered facing him.
The Toxic Overlord Butterfly started flapping his wings rapidly. The rapid speed created a vacuum around his wings. Shockwaves were essentially created from vibrations, and vibrations required a medium for them to pass through. Thus, the vacuum was a counter for the Steel Rhinoceros’s shockwaves.
As for the Draconic Human, his solution was even simpler. His entire body turned smaller. He was able to reduce the size of his body to become faster and stronger. And essentially, by doing this, he was increasing the density of his body.
The destructiveness of a vibration depended on the density of the object. The smaller the density, the larger the gap between the molecules. And because of that, the object would be torn apart much more easily by vibrations. On the contrary, the higher the density, the weaker the effect of vibrations. Although this was not complete immunity like the Toxic Overlord Butterfly’s vacuum, it was sufficient to protect the Draconic Man.
Thus, the Steel Rhinoceros approached them, and the three King Rank magical beasts started battling each other. As for Bai Xiaofei and the Earth Infants, they were reduced to mere spectators. But even so, Bai Xiaofei was getting more and more anxious. The range of their battlefield was too wide. Hu Xian’er wasn’t very far from them. The moment any aftershock hit her, the illusion he had on her would disperse. When that happened, he would be completely helpless. After thinking about it, he clenched his teeth and gazed at the two Earth Infants.
“Do you see the boulder there?” Bai Xiaofei asked as he pointed at Hu Xian’er.
“Why?” asked the Earth Infant who was captured by Bai Xiaofei earlier. It was obvious this was the leader among the two.
“That is an illusion I created. Now, I need you to create another layer of stone around the illusion to protect it from any aftershocks from their battle. Can you do that?”
The Earth Infant wanted to refuse, but when he saw Bai Xiaofei’s pale face and the pool of blood beneath him, he changed his mind.
“Yes!”
