Chapter 82: Chapter 80 Elimination
The colossal wave swept through, leaving the Nine-Aspect Deer as feeble as a leaf before the flood, instantly caught by the wave and flung into the raging torrents.
Eyes, nose, ears—all were flooded with water.
Fear of water is an instinct for most land creatures.
The Nine-Aspect Deer was no exception, opening its mouth wide in panic to breathe, only to choke harshly on several mouthfuls of water.
In the midst of the chaos, a dark shadow, like a submarine, struck from the undercurrent.
The Nine-Aspect Deer’s head was clamped firmly in a massive jaw.
Taotie clamped onto it and ruthlessly flung it.
Intense pain made the Nine-Aspect Deer wail.
Only its wails were drowned out inside Taotie’s vast maw.
The Nine-Aspect Deer tried to struggle, but its strength was like that of a child compared to an adult when facing Taotie.
Taotie bit down on its head and gave a forceful shake.
The Nine-Aspect Deer was then dragged into the waves.
The safety referee team, the judge wearing a cap on the far left, slightly stood up with a sharp look in his eyes.
A person next to him said, “No need, this Nine-Aspect Deer’s energy level is not low, it should be… Quick, save the Beast Taming!”
The other two’s expressions changed abruptly.
They hurriedly stood up.
In the murky floodwater, Taotie took advantage of the floodwaters to land the first blow, sinking its teeth into the Nine-Aspect Deer’s vulnerable head.
Death—Roll!
Taotie’s size was comparable to the strongest of the adult Salty Bay Crocodiles.
And an adult Salty Bay Crocodile was a ferocious Beast Taming of energy level 38.
With its vulnerability seized in a first strike, it performed the Death Roll.
The muscles in the Nine-Aspect Deer’s neck were torn, exposing white tendons, half its head sagging, only its bent spine still stubbornly erect.
A spatial fluctuation flashed, and a white figure appeared beside the multicolored deer; in the next second, it vanished from the spot along with the severely injured Nine-Aspect Deer.
Inside the arena, a cold, mechanical voice announced.
“Guanghu No. 1 Middle School, player No. 4, Nine-Aspect Deer eliminated.”
“Eliminated! Guanghu No. 1 Middle School’s Nine-Aspect Deer is killed instantly despite a ten-level lead in energy level!!” the host gripped the microphone, his voice rising wave after wave.
Roaring cheers filled the spectator stands.
The other three members of Guanghu No. 1 Middle School were yet to recover from the shock of the great flood.
When suddenly, they heard the dreadful news of their ally’s elimination.
All three turned to look at the last one at the same time.
Although some teammates were still standing by their side, he was already gone.
Player No. 4 hadn’t yet snapped back from the blow of his own Beast Taming’s elimination.
Only after his teammates patted his shoulder did he realize it.
“I…”
Where is my huge Beast Taming!
Are you the one with the energy level of 35 or am I!
He was profoundly shocked, his mind filled with bewildered thoughts.
The other three didn’t have time to comfort him either.
Because the battle on the other side had already erupted.
…
In front of the television, the camera had already shifted towards Taotie when the Salty Bay Crocodile summoned the flood.
Liu Yuzhen was nervous, clutching Chen Guohai’s arm.
“It’s Taotie.”
Liu Yuzhen recognized Taotie, that little guy, at a glance.
She could be said to be the only one besides Chen Xing who had watched with her own eyes as Taotie grew step by step to its size today.
She still remembered the day when Chen Xing excitedly ran back home.
The happiness and excitement on little Xing’s face were something she rarely saw.
The son walked into the kitchen, saying he had something good to show her, and mysteriously opened the pouch of his clothes.
Inside, a pair of pitch-black eyes shone brightly under the dim kitchen light.
That little crocodile, in stark contrast to the imposing crocodile on the competition stage now.
A smile spontaneously appeared on her face.
“He did what he wanted to do.”
Chen Guohai, looking at his son on the television, filled with pride, had eyes brimming with contentment.
…
Taotie dispatched its opponent cleanly and calmly twisted its body, chewing the tiny fish jerky hidden under its tongue.
The dried-up magic power inside its body quickly replenished.
The huge body slightly swayed its tail, merging into the flood, and soon disappeared within it.
As the first wave of the flood subsided, the battlefield had drastically changed.
What had been 40% water was now 100% water.
After withstanding the first two waves of flood, the Beast Taming Giant Turtle floated on the water like a yacht.
A monkey and a cat hung from the large tree on its shell.
The Frenzied Plow Fire Ape looked down at the floodwaters with lingering fear and scratched its cheeks.
The Shadow Leap Spirit Cat stood at the very top of the branch, one front paw on the Frenzied Plow Fire Ape’s shoulder, the other on a branch.
Across the water, the Earthquake Pig stood steadfast in the floods, like a boulder resolute against the waves.
On its broad back, two Devil Commander Dogs dodged the splashing water; they were also of Fire Attribute and disliked water.
When the floodwaters calmed, the entire field had become a water body with an average depth of three meters.
Large amounts of mud and sediment were lifted by the malignant waves, turning the surface murky and concealing what lay beneath.
Wen Jin coughed twice.
With a deep look in his eyes, he couldn’t let all the limelight be stolen by his junior!
The Beast Taming Giant Turtle’s back released a plethora of green seeds.
These seeds, as if driven by the wind, slowly drifted towards the other side.
The Earthquake Pig seemed to sense something, letting out a sharp pig cry.
The ground under its feet trembled, creating ripples that spread across the water.
Intermediate Skill: Earthquake!
The shaking water sent waves rippling outward.
Rings of transparent ripples encircled a certain area within the water.
Chen Xing squinted his eyes; he had not expected this method to detect Taotie’s whereabouts.
The moment Taotie’s figure was exposed, the two Devil Commander Dogs on the back of Earthquake Pig launched an attack at Taotie’s location simultaneously!
Explosive Fireball!
Two giant fireballs, burning fiercely, smashed into the water.
Fire collided with water, evaporating vast amounts of mist.
There was no sight of Taotie, only bits of torn crocodile skin and deep red blood traces floating on the surface.
Chen Xing could sense that Taotie had moved away from that position.
The two Explosive Fireballs had caused significant damage to it.
But—
In a place unseen by anyone, Taotie glanced back at the two dogs’ position, its eyes gleaming with a ferocious light.
It casually swallowed a clump of water, and a flash of blue light followed.
The charred area on its back rapidly regenerated flesh and blood.
The exoskeleton healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was still not enough.
Taotie continued to consume clumps of water, again and again, as blue light kept emerging.
Although lacking in long-range Attack Skills, although its Energy Level was not high, and without any displacement Skills, there were numerous shortcomings.
But its robust body endowed it with tenacious vitality and an enduring healing ability.
So long as it wasn’t killed in one blow or drained of its Magic Power, its sustained combat capacity was exaggerated.
The wounds on its body healed rapidly, and soon new flesh and exoskeleton grew.
The Beast Taming Giant Turtle and Earthquake Pig were locked in combat.
Two massive creatures collided in the water.
Above them, the Frenzied Plow Fire Ape unleashed close-combat Skills punch after punch, accompanied by the Shadow Leap Spirit Cat and two other Devil Commander Dogs fighting fiercely.
Space on the backs of the two giant Beast Tamings was limited.
A Devil Commander Dog rammed the Frenzied Plow Fire Ape, knocking it into the water.
The captain of the Guanghu First Team couldn’t help but smile; this was the chance he had been waiting for!
The intelligence had disclosed that this Frenzied Plow Fire Ape was extremely afraid of water.
But the next moment, the smile froze.
For the Frenzied Plow Fire Ape, after struggling a few times in the water, surprisingly managed to grasp the Beast Taming Giant Turtle’s tail and climb back up, shaking its drenched fur.
Then, a burst of flames suddenly enveloped its body, evaporating and drying the water.
Tong Xuhua smirked coldly. Everyone knew the Frenzied Plow Fire Ape’s weakness; how could he not be aware? During this period, under the coach’s collaborative training, he had long since had the Frenzied Plow Fire Ape secretly overcome this weakness.
Although it still disliked water, it was no longer as weak and powerless as before when falling into it.
The nearby Shadow Leap Spirit Cat seized the opportunity for a sneak attack, shooting a perfect Jade Wind Blade. The following Devil Commander Dog was hit on the ribs and knocked down into the water.
As it tried to rise from the water, a mass of shadow suddenly erupted from behind.
Taotie viciously bit into the rear of the Devil Commander Dog.
It had waited so long for this moment!
