Chapter 30: Battle Against an Advanced Savage Beast
The advanced savage beast within the herd finally made its appearance. The newcomer was a gigantic savage beast standing thirty meters tall. With its massive body, it let out a loud roar, and immediately after, its huge frame actually soared into the sky, rushing toward Le Ao and Tuo Ta.
That's right, a gigantic savage beast, thirty meters tall and weighing a hundred tons, had actually taken flight. It had no wings and was not a flying savage beast, yet it was flying. To an ordinary person, this was simply inconceivable.
The two exchanged a look and said solemnly, "It is an advanced primary-grade savage beast, an Elephant Origin Beast."
"Suit up!" Both of them wiped their belts, and a gemstone in the center of each belt emitted beams of golden light, enveloping Le Ao and Tuo Ta. After the light faded, the two were each clad in golden armor. With its mesmerizing patterns and full-coverage design—except for the joints—the armor made the two look as mighty as ancient war gods.
With a wave of their hands, they retrieved their respective weapons. Without needing any signal, the two tacitly attacked the Elephant Origin Beast at the same time.
"Roar—" The Elephant Origin Beast opened its large mouth, and a terrifying suction force enveloped the two.
Le Ao and Tuo Ta stabilized their figures in time, avoiding being sucked into its belly.
"Watch out."
"Not good, it's an air cannon!"
The air within a ten-meter radius was instantly sucked away by the Elephant Origin Beast. While the terrifying suction force did not manage to harm the two, it restricted their movements.
"Awoo—" The Elephant Origin Beast instantly spat out an invisible mass of qi, resembling a cannonball.
The two activated the active defense function of their armor, and two energy shields enveloped them respectively. Sky Rank experts generally wear fourth-grade spirit tool armor, and the active defense function is much more effective and has a much higher defense limit than a third-grade spirit tool.
Clearly, the power of the Elephant Origin Beast's air cannon did not exceed the defense limit of the fourth-grade spirit tool armor.
Le Ao and Tuo Ta were knocked back a hundred meters by the blow, but they ultimately did not suffer any injuries.
"That was close." Although Le Ao and Tuo Ta were fine, it had been truly dangerous just now. If they hadn't activated their active defense and had been hit head-on by the air cannon, even they would have suffered serious injuries.
"Attack! While it is still recovering its breath, we cannot let it fire another air cannon." Tuo Ta waved the trident in his hand, shooting out three beams of trident light, and then he rushed forward himself.
Le Ao swung his axe, and waves of axe shadows filled the air, striking heavily upon the head of the Elephant Origin Beast.
"Moo—" The Elephant Origin Beast was struck by the three beams of trident light, its entire body involuntarily retreating two steps. Subsequently, it was struck by the axe shadows, leaving a five-inch deep wound on its head. Beast blood sprayed out, looking quite miserable, but in reality, such a wound was not fatal at all. Its massive body meant that a few minor wounds were of no consequence.
Seizing the opportunity, Le Ao threw his axe and shouted loudly, "Take this, Whirlwind Axe!" This Whirlwind Axe technique was even faster and more powerful than before.
Tuo Ta finally closed in and thrust his trident out, shouting loudly, "Sky Piercer!" The trident pierced through the defense of the Elephant Origin Beast, stabbing deep into its body. Tuo Ta understood that even if it pierced in, it would not be fatal.
He frantically poured his spiritual power into the long trident, and the violent force went straight into the body of the Elephant Origin Beast, destroying its internal organs and bones.
Mere flesh wounds, even if ten thousand ten-inch deep scars were cut, were like a light drizzle to the Elephant Origin Beast; it remained full of vitality.
The battle had not started long ago, but it was already appearing exceptionally intense. The wound on the Elephant Origin Beast's forehead had actually already begun to heal slowly. Such regenerative ability made anyone who saw it envious, but if it were an enemy, it wouldn't be very pleasing.
"Tuo Ta, hurry up, you kid, put in more effort, can you?" Le Ao used an axe, which emphasized aura, lethality, and barbaric attacks. Facing an advanced savage beast like the Elephant Origin Beast with such a huge size and astonishing defensive and regenerative capabilities, Le Ao's attacks could actually only serve as a distraction.
Meanwhile, Tuo Ta's attacks had greater penetrating power and lethality against the Elephant Origin Beast.
The Elephant Origin Beast let out an angry roar, bellowing as it stirred up the massive power within its body and suddenly erupted.
"Damn it, retreat quickly, it's gone berserk." Le Ao was hit by a sideways charge from the Elephant Origin Beast and was sent flying in a miserable state. His entire body was in intense pain, and his bones felt like they were about to fall apart, but fortunately, his armor had deflected most of the impact.
Tuo Ta's situation was even worse because he was closer. He was hit by the Elephant Origin Beast's berserk full-force charge, leaving him bleeding from his seven orifices. His internal organs were clearly damaged, and he likely had at least three broken ribs on his right chest.
Tuo Ta swallowed a medicinal pill to stabilize his internal injuries, then immediately circulated his spiritual power throughout his body to correct and treat the fractures in his chest.
At this time, Le Ao was holding off the berserk Elephant Origin Beast alone, becoming increasingly strained and disheveled. Cracks had already appeared on his armor, showing just how violent the Elephant Origin Beast's attacks were.
"Hey, buddy, are you done yet? Hurry up and help, kill it, I can't hold on much longer!" Le Ao shouted loudly.
Tuo Ta stood up, infused his spiritual power into the trident, threw it with force, and said, "Alright, you retreat, I'll finish it off. Let it taste my Sky Piercing Stab!"
The long trident easily broke through the Elephant Origin Beast's scales and flesh, shot into its body, and exited from the other side.
"Awoo—Awoo—Awoo—" The Elephant Origin Beast's shrill cries echoed across the entire battlefield. Even Luoyu County could hear this beast roar from afar, and from the roar, one could hear the misery within it.
The sound became shorter and deeper, and the Elephant Origin Beast's body fell powerlessly from the sky.
With a "boom," it slammed into the ground, instantly crushing a group of low-grade savage beasts to death, and blood flowed like a river.
"Not bad, old Tuo, your blade is still sharp, a fatal blow." Le Ao sighed in relief.
It turned out that Tuo Ta's Sky Piercing Stab had been aimed at the Elephant Origin Beast's heart. Its powerful penetrating force had directly shattered the heart of the Elephant Origin Beast. Even as strong as an advanced savage beast was, this fatal attack was absolutely capable of ending its life.
"Hmph, what's so special about that." Tuo Ta was not proud at all, because the body structures of various savage beasts were generally recorded in detail in human textbooks. No matter what kind of savage beast it was, as long as its heart or head was destroyed, it would surely die. The only difference was how to correctly identify the location. The most important point was not letting the savage beast move about completely. Do not look at the Elephant Origin Beast as having a huge size; if it really started moving, its speed was definitely not slow. To hit its vital point with one strike in such a situation was basically impossible.
That was why Le Ao had resisted the Elephant Origin Beast head-on to find the opportunity for Tuo Ta.
"Let's go, clean up the remaining savage beast herd, and then we should return to Luoxing City." Tuo Ta twirled his trident and said indifferently. Currently, Luoxing City was still under siege. Even if the experts within the city had all been transferred away, Luoxing City could not be breached, because Luoxing City was only a third-grade city; above it were second-grade cities, first-grade cities, and the kingdom's capital. Stronger experts could be dispatched to defend the city at any time. With the teleportation array, as long as a call was made, if necessary, even Demigod Level experts could be invited.
