Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 608: Chapter 581: Chief Leader 99

Although the strike from Yan Shuangshuang injured it, it only roused the ferocity of the Fierce Beast. It lunged at Yan Shuangshuang at lightning speed, its large mouth, lined with rows of teeth, opening wide once again in her direction.

An intense sense of crisis welled up in Yan Shuangshuang’s heart. Instinctively, she felt that the Fierce Beast wasn’t simply trying to bite her with its open mouth, but she couldn’t guess its intentions. So, she could only envelop herself in the Power of thunder and lightning once more and sprint away at her fastest speed!

It was just as Yan Shuangshuang decided to flee that, in the next instant, the mouth of the Fierce Beast unleashed a vast expanse of yellow slime! The slime descended like a storm, far outpacing Yan Shuangshuang despite her speed, as it was ejected from the beast even more swiftly!

Halfway in her escape, Yan Shuangshuang was drenched from head to toe by the disgusting slime. Fortunately, she had been protecting her body with Thunder Power, so as soon as the slime touched her, it quickly evaporated with a sizzling sound from the Thunder Power.

The first wave of slime didn’t manage to harm Yan Shuangshuang, which evidently frustrated the Fierce Beast, prompting it to spew out a second wave. But this time, Yan Shuangshuang was already lightning quick, escaping with the majority of her body untainted, though a small portion at the back was still caught by the slime.

Though Yan Shuangshuang’s body was safeguarded by the Thunder Power, shielded from the slime, the evaporation of these poisonous slimes was extremely draining. Being drenched twice caused a rapid depletion of the warrior power within Yan Shuangshuang’s body.

The Fierce Beast behind seemed to have an inexhaustible source of slime, ejecting another large wave. Yan Shuangshuang sped up even more, with only her calves caught by the slime. She dared not look back or pause, and could only continue sprinting forward at full speed.

Because the Fierce Beast turned to chase Yan Shuangshuang, Cang Yun, who was left trailing behind, kept pursuing them with a knife in hand, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t catch up with Yan Shuangshuang and the Fierce Beast. He was entirely unable to assist her.

Seeing himself being left further behind while Yan Shuangshuang faced great peril, Cang Yun gritted his teeth, making a quick leap to close some distance, then jumped into the air again, pouring all his warrior strength into his knife!

A dazzling, blinding glow lit up around Cang Yun, who now resembled a small sun suspended in mid-air. With full concentration, Cang Yun raised his knife high in the air, aiming at the massive wound left on the back of the Fierce Beast by Yan Shuangshuang, and slashed down fiercely!

The warrior power instantly detached from Cang Yun’s knife, the bright light shooting forth in the shape of a curved sword, making a screeching sound as it sliced through the air, landing rapidly on the previous wound inflicted by Yan Shuangshuang on the Fierce Beast’s back!

It wasn’t until the blade forged from warrior power struck the Fierce Beast that Cang Yun landed, and upon touching the ground, couldn’t help but stagger, clearly exhausted by that attack, which had drained all of Cang Yun’s warrior power, leaving him completely devoid of combat strength!

Several warriors from the Crocodile Tribe noticed and immediately abandoned their opponents, rushing over to surround and protect Cang Yun. As for the Cave-dwelling Tribe warriors who had been beaten earlier, it didn’t matter if they escaped, nothing was more important than their leader.

The Cave-dwelling Tribe warriors who had been beaten by the Crocodile Tribe warriors also lacked courage. When they saw their opponents retreat, they immediately tried to flee without a second thought. But after only a few steps, they were caught again by Crocodile Tribe warriors who caught up with and pinned them down once more.

This attack that consumed all of Cang Yun’s warrior power was incredibly strong because it actually managed to cut the Fierce Beast in half! The yellow-green blood of the insect beast flowed in streams on the ground as it howled fiercely from the grievous wound inflicted by Cang Yun’s attack!

Yan Shuangshuang, who was sprinting away, naturally wouldn’t let such an opportunity slip by. She turned back, channeling almost all her warrior power into the Scale Armor Knife, leaping high to slash down at the Fierce Beast’s head once more.

The Scale Armor Knife and Yan Shuangshuang’s body were both enveloped in Thunder Power, transforming her entire being into a massive bolt of lightning, descending instantly atop the Fierce Beast’s head, and with relentless force, she slashed down on the Fierce Beast’s skull!

The flesh on the Fierce Beast’s head became soft again, but it was in vain. The Scale Armor Knife, imbued with the momentum of thunder, swiftly pressed down, piercing through the soft flesh on the Fierce Beast’s head, breaking its defense to make contact with the hard skull beneath!

The skull of the Fierce Beast turned out to be unexpectedly hard for Yan Shuangshuang, even though a crack had already been made by the Scale Armor Knife in her hand. Yet, at the last moment, it jammed the Scale Armor Knife, preventing Yan Shuangshuang from fully breaking through its defense!

More dangerously, the previously sliced flesh on the Fierce Beast’s head seemed alive, wriggling to wrap around the Scale Armor Knife in Yan Shuangshuang’s hand. Yan Shuangshuang once again felt the rapid drain of her warrior power by the Fierce Beast’s slime!

This attack drew too much warrior power from Yan Shuangshuang—her strength was nearly exhausted at this moment. Moreover, she had to keep her body covered with enough Thunder Power; otherwise, she’d be corroded by the poisonous aura emanating from the Fierce Beast!

The venom of the Fierce Beast was so strong that Yan Shuangshuang doubted that without the protection of Thunder Power, her flesh could withstand it. She would likely end up like the flowers and trees around her, withered and dying from the toxic gas.

Unable to break the skull of the Fierce Beast, Yan Shuangshuang couldn’t help but feel anxious. This was arguably the greatest crisis she had ever encountered. In battles with other creatures, irrespective of how dangerous it was, surviving had never been an issue.

But now, with the remaining bit of warrior power in her, unless she gave up fighting the Fierce Beast and abandoned the Scale Armor Knife to flee immediately, she might have a chance to escape. But behind her, Cang Yun, drained of warrior power, and the Crocodile Tribe warriors would all be left to die here.

The life force of the insect creatures was simply absurdly powerful. Severing their bodies wasn’t considered a fatal wound; at most, it depleted half of their combat strength.

Just like now, Yan Shuangshuang had already cleaved this Fierce Beast’s head down to the bone, and even fractured the skull. Yet, the Fierce Beast could still resist and shake its head furiously to throw off Yan Shuangshuang, demonstrating it wasn’t anywhere near losing its combat capability.
