Doom Lord
Chapter 136 – Intense Fight
“Lord, why didn’t you bring the little girl and her father?” After walking far, Liu Xiyue could not help but ask.
Cheng Yang said, “I want to bring them, but all that will do is harm them instead of helping them. The degree of danger to this journey is unlike that around the territory. Taking two people with no combat ability along is just asking them to die."
Their bodies shivered. Its seems that they had to reassess the danger level of this trip.
This narrow stone crevice was seven hundred to eight hundred meters long, but since it doesn't grow trees or thorns, the group of three actually walk much faster comparable to outside. In just a few minutes, they walked out of the stone crack.
As everyone continues to move forward, the enchanted beasts they met along grew greater in strength. Initially, some scattered enchanted beast's strength was only first medium-order, but now they would also occasionally encounter some enchanted beasts in the first late-order.
This wasn't the worst. One time the group of three met a herd of enchanted beasts that was led by a first peak-order monster. If Cheng Yang had not promptly discovered them and ordered Niu Bing and Liu Xiyue to retreat first, the two of them might have been in real danger.
Its seems the mountain crack they passed through was some sorts of boundary line. After crossing this crack, the difference in the enchanted beast's strength was like heaven and earth. The herd of enchanted beasts led by the first peak-order was in the end destroyed by Cheng Yang, but this encounter still left behind lingering fear in the minds of Niu Bing and Liu Xiyue.
“Lord, we should check to see what wild treasure this first peak-order monster is guarding. Maybe it will give us a good item like that Whitehead Eagle Leader we killed." Liu Xiyue remained optimistic despite their situation and immediately thought of the possible benefits.
Cheng Yang shook his head with a bitter smile, "This possibility isn't big. Around the main city, the appearance of a first peak-order enchanted beast at this stage will certainly be due to some kind of high-grade item, but when it's far away from the main city it's presence won't mean a guarantee treasure. Even if you see third-order or even fourth-order enchanted beast, it doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a wild treasure. "
Even though Liu Xiyue didn't disagree with what Cheng Yang had said, she still ran toward the herd of enchanted beast's gathering place to make sure.
Niu Bing hurriedly asked: “Yangzi, will this place really have third-order enchanted beast?"
Cheng Yang could hear the fear in Niu Bing's voice. He was currently only a first peak-order apprentice. If they really run into a third-order, they would probably have no chance of escape.
Cheng Yang replied, “There is almost zero chance of this kind of enchanted beast appearing here, but there are definitely stronger monsters than third-order enchanted beast out there." When he spoke this, he thought of the enormous flying monster that the flew by him when he first enter the Random Gate, which looks like a mythical winged dragon from the west.
Niu Bing suddenly stopped talking. It wasn't that he was afraid but because there was no more meaning in continuing to about third-order enchanted beast. Meeting one would mean death without any suspense anyway.
At this time, Liu Xiyue return from her search. And of course the result was that she came back empty-handed.
The three people once more walked seven to eight kilometers. On this section of the road encountering a first peak-order enchanted beast has almost become commonplace. Three times they found such monsters, two were avoided while the last one found them the same time they notice it. They were greeted with another fierce battle.
It was about 15-16 kilometers from Yi Cheng. However according to Cheng Yang's memory, the nearest field station's altar was only 12-13 kilometers away from them
According to the rules summed up by the people in the previous timeline, there would be no higher monster than first-order in two to three kilometers of the two field stations around Yi Cheng. He don't know if the rules were made like this, but in any case it was true. As long as it was a field station that appears within 100 kilometers of the main city, there would be no enchanted beast that would reach second order.
But the next kilometer no one knows what kind of monster would show up.
As Cheng Yang moved forward, he became even more cautious.
After trekking a long distance. Cheng Yang suddenly let out a loud shout, "Stop!"
The other two immediately stopped in their track, Niu Bing lowly whispered to Cheng Yang, "Yangzi, what's the matter?
Cheng Yang listened attentively for a moment, then said, "Ahead has sounds of heavy objects colliding together. This should be noises of a fight."
Fight! Niu Bing suddenly fiercely dumbfounded, "Are there professions in this area?"
"It could be a civil war between the enchanted beasts,” Liu Xiyue suddenly said.
Cheng Yang shook his head and quickly rejected them. He said, "It's absolutely impossible for there to be profession in this area. Also usually enchanted beast will not fight with each other."
“Then what is it?" The two men asked in unison.
Cheng Yang replied nonchalantly, "I don't know but if the enchanted beast encounter any special circumstances, life and death battle may also happen amongst them……. Wait here, I'll check it out. "
Liu Xiyue and Niu Bing immediately nodded. They also knew that their strength was indeed lacking in front of more powerful enchanted beast.
Cheng Yang immediately asked the two to go find a hiding place, and then slowly went forward with his body slightly crouch.
After walking nearly 200 meters, Cheng Yang's steps suddenly stopped. Because he could tell that the noise was already close by, which was mixed with rough roars.
Cheng Yang quietly stretched his head to see, he then saw two colossal beings in close quarter combat.
One of the monster was a huge black boa, with a body almost a foot thick. Its large snake's head and snake's tail were its weapon of attack. Of course, it could also strangled it's prey with its elongated body. Its entire body was practically a powerful weapon.
Faced against this boa was a snow white tiger. If it wasn't for its huge size, some people might mistake it for a lovely white cat. But now, this animal doesn't look adorable at all.
The white tiger stands 1.7-1.8 meters tall and nearly three meters long. If placed before the end, this tiger would definitely make headline news. But in the middle of this apocalypse, it could only fight with a boa in silent.
At the moment, Cheng Yang could not judge the level of these two big monsters, but he was sure that these monsters were in the second-order. As for what stage in the second-order, it was unknown.
Even at the time of Cheng Yang's observation, the fight between these big monsters has shown no sign of stopping.
The black boa swiftly sent out its snake tail toward the white tiger's head. Refusing to admit defeat, the white tiger suddenly moved its body to the right to avoid the attack to its head, but it was still swept in the waist by the tail. The massive force sent the white tiger flying.
However, this monster's ability to take a hit was truly amazing. After such fierce hit, it was still able to immediately crawl up and launch a counterattack toward the tail that sent it flying, tearing down a large piece of scaly flesh meat.
Suffering from such pains, the boa immediately withdrew back its tail, and then propelled its head toward the white tiger's throat.
The white tiger seems to be very afraid of the boa's fangs, as it instantly move to rear to dodge.
However before it could escape far, the boa suddenly sprayed out a dark green vapor from its mouth, which covered on the white tiger's head.
If Cheng Yang had the exploration skill at this time, he would be able to see the white tiger's health decreasing at a constant rate of 2 points per second. Even though the white tiger's health was extremely high, it also couldn't withstand such a constant decline for a long time.
Cheng Yang could tell that the white tiger was now in a state of poison, but it was unknown as to how long this state would continue.
At this point, Cheng Yang has been able to see the surrounding situation clearly, but he was still unsure as to why these two monsters would fight one another. It stands to reason that a battle between enchanted beasts must be due to competing for some treasures. But in this place, let alone a treasure, even an ordinary bottle of potion couldn't be seen.
Suddenly, Cheng Yang's eyes widened. He took note of a particular detail from the white tiger's eyes.
The reason why enchanted beast was called enchanted beast was focused upon the word "enchanted". All enchanted beasts act as though they had been possessed by rabies. At the sight of human being, they would crazily attack. Inside of them was a strong bloodthirsty flavor, which makes them look cruel and savage. Especially in their eyes, all enchanted beast's eyes were tinged with a trace of redness. The stronger the enchanted beast's strength, the deeper the red coloring in the eyes would be.
However, this white tiger didn't have a bit of redness in its eyes. With its strength, this wasn't normal.
A turmoil suddenly boiled in Cheng Yang's heart. This monster shouldn't be… an alienation beast?
This place was only 40 kilometers away from the main city, so how could an alienation beast appear here? This possibility wasn't zero, but the odds were extremely low.
The benefits of an alienation beast goes without saying. You could accept it as a pet, which would provide great assistance in battles. In addition, alienation beast could only be encounter by chance and not sought after. The number of alienation beast that people encountered in the previous lifetime didn't adds up to more than 100.
If this white tiger was really an alienation beast, Cheng Yang must find a way to get it. Who knows if this alienation beast might be the only one he would ever meet in this life?
But to obtain this monster came with a great risk. So far, Cheng Yang has yet to figure out how high this monster level was. If he exposes himself, he might immediately be eaten up by these two monsters.
While Cheng Yang still hesisting, the white tiger has receded out from the green mist. Its eyes eyes were filled with fear, but soon it was replaced with cold and viciousness.
Cheng Yang suddenly felt a powerful energy coming from the white tiger's mouth, then instantly he saw a huge milky white sphere formed.
Under the boa's wary gaze, the white tiger instantly shot out the sphere. And with no time to escape, the sphere hit the boa's body.
From this attack, the boa's body which was attached to the ground was sent flying, crushing the trees in its path while its mouth was constantly emitting a bleak roar.
After releasing the milky white ball, the white tiger powerlessly laid on the ground.
After the boa has broken several large trees, it finally stopped. It scales was shattered and horrendous wounds covered all over its body. However, when it stared at the white tiger lying on the ground, it cold beady snake eyes showed obvious ridicule.
