Chapter 535 Slaying a Snake (2/2)
Gao Peng calmly summoned Goldie to his side. Upon being summoned, Goldie placed its muscular body in front of its master, shielding him from the snake's water daggers.
A couple of water daggers flew towards Goldie. As soon as they hit its body, they exploded, harmlessly splashing water across its face. The water daggers popped like water balloons, drenching Goldie's body from head to toe.
Goldie's water elemental resistance didn't exactly allow it to completely negate water attacks of this magnitude. The extent to which they could be negated was probably only somewhere between 80 and 90 percent...
Goldie was enraged when it took the snake's ”attack” right in the face. It clenched its fists, raring to join the battle and smack the three-eyed snake senseless. It took Gao Peng quite a while to calm it down.
Sure enough, after spraying everyone on the beach with its water daggers, the Deep Sea Silver-Winged Three-eyed Snake quickly turn around to slink back into the water. However, it was stopped by Dumby. In the air, Da Zi let out its Explosive Lightning, continually pounding the snake with it like a hammer. Every strike fell on the snake's scales with a resounding boom.
Da Zi's Explosive Lightning attack was as violent as it was relentless. It was able to immobilize its target through sheer force.
After being pummelled by Da Zi's lightning strikes a few more times, the Deep Sea Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Snake began to throw up blood. It was a few feet away from freedom when suddenly a mountain placed itself in front of the snake... Stripey was now standing between it and the sea, trapping it on the beach.
Stripey's face remained expressionless. I never said you could leave, buster.
...
The Deep Sea Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Snake had coiled itself up at the foot of the mountain. Its three eyes were narrowed into tiny slits as they coldly observed their surroundings. Blood was trickling down from its mouth. Its internal organs had been ravaged by Dumby's attacks.
Any other monster would have been dead by this point. However, the snake was a hardy creature. Despite being wounded so severely, it was still fiercely clinging to life.
However, Dumby and Stripey hadn't come out of this unscathed. Dumby's status had dropped to 'Moderately Injured,' whereas Stripey's had fallen to 'Severely Injured.' Only Da Zi, which had kept a great distance between itself and the ground this whole time, seemed relatively unharmed.
Da Zi was surprised by just how awesome it had been back then. It hadn't thought it would be able to beat its pursuer into submission... Who knew I would be this awesome?! It let out a sigh.
Dammit... The three-eyed snake hadn't completely resigned itself to its fate yet. It was still looking for a chance to escape.
However, it hadn't even been able to escape when it was still in its top form back then. What chance did it have of escaping now?
Dumby was able to see through the snake's smokescreen tactic. When it tried to make for the ocean, it received another palm strike to the face from its opponent.
The Overlord-tier snake let out a roar filled with rage and discontent before falling dead on the beach.
Upon seeing the Deep Sea Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Snake's lifeless body, Gao Peng realized that he had killed an Overlord-tier monster with the help of his familiars. Stunned by this revelation, Gao Peng came back to his senses moments later. His thumping heart began to slow down.
Of course, Da Zi had played a huge role in taking down the snake. If Da Zi hadn't been there, Dumby and the others wouldn't have been able to kill this Overlord-tier monster. They would have been forced to run for their lives.
Gao Peng didn't know what Da Zi had been through to undergo such a huge growth spurt. In just six months, it had become his most powerful familiar. It had also somehow attained the Mythical grade in that time.
The name Da Zi had assumed after its evolution wasn't listed in any of its Mythical evolutionary routes. Gao Peng took this to mean that Da Zi had been set on a new path by chance.
