Divine Beast Adventures Chapter 324 – The Mutated Giant Ape’s First Battle

“It’s about to give birth!”

Luo Wenjun and Zhang Che were surprised when they heard Luo Er’s cry. The two asked almost simultaneously, “Really?”

Luo Er nodded happily, answering, “My scouting-type beast saw that exotic beast seemed to be letting out low painful groans. It shouldn’t be wrong.”

“Let’s go!” Zhang Che and Luo Wenjun exchanged looks, noticing the joy in one another’s eyes.

The four hurriedly packed their belongings. Luo Wenjun suddenly said, “Brother Zhang, if everything went well, you’ll get the first pick between the beast card and the baby beast.”

Zhang Che was slightly taken aback. Seeing the sincerity on Luo Wenjun’s face, Zhang Che didn’t try to reject. He directly nodded and said, “Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony then.”

Even biological brothers settled their accounts clearly. Although they were friends, they clarified the loot sharing before the hunt started, to prevent any ill feelings afterward.

Luo Wenjun continued, “If it doesn’t go very smoothly and we only obtain one of the two, then we’ll split according to their value. I won’t let you take a loss.”

Zhang Che nodded. The group walked out of the crevice, summoning their respective flying beasts and flying towards the core of the mountain range.

There was another sentence Luo Wenjun had left unsaid, but Zhang Che already knew what it was.

If things went very unsuccessfully, and they got nothing out of this trip, they’d just treat this as coming out to have fun. They’d each return to their own homes and get on with life.

Luo Er acted as the guide, while Zhang Che and the others followed after him. They passed mountain after mountain, and finally arrived at a wide valley.

From afar, the group saw a green and white-furred, leopard-like exotic beast on the grasslands in the valley. It was looking in their direction in shock and anger.

That exotic beast was at a crucial moment of its childbirth. Seeing the sudden arrival of Zhang Che and the others, it immediately bared its fangs and roared out at them, issuing a warning.

“Haha, what a rare opportunity!” Luo Wenjun roared out excitedly. He directed his flying beast to land in the valley. Afterwards, streak after streak of light shot out from his brow, materializing into various subdued beasts around him.

Zhang Che, Luo Da, and Luo Er followed suit. All kinds of subdued beasts were summoned, adding up to over twenty of them.

At a quick glance, Zhang Che realized that their subdued beasts were all at mid-tier dark gold-quality or higher. There were quite a few legend-quality beasts, too! The three of them had summoned a total of seven legend-quality beasts!

Including Zhang Che’s Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, Scarlet Flame Drake, Mutated Giant Ape, and Purple Crystal Tortoise, there were a total of eleven legend-quality beasts around them!

With such strength, let alone a weakened epic-quality beast that was giving birth, even a normal mid-tier epic-quality beast might not emerge victorious.

However, the crux of the matter, whether that leopard was a mid-tier or high-tier exotic beast, remained to be seen.

The difference between mid-tier and high-tier was too great!

If this exotic beast was a high-tier epic-quality beast, they wouldn’t be able to win easily despite it being in an extremely weakened state after giving birth.

“Luo Da, let your subdued beast go test the water first. See how strong that fellow is,” Luo Wenjun turned to instruct Luo Da. The latter nodded and waved his hand, a five-star dark gold-quality subdued beast immediately charged forward.

Whoosh! Just as that dark gold-quality subdued beast charged out, the group witnessed to their horror that the exotic beast, who was in the midst of giving birth, suddenly opened its mouth. A near-invisible phantom suddenly moved a few hundred meters, directly cutting Luo Da’s subdued beast in half, turning it into a dissipating streak of light.

“Get back!” Luo Wenjun cried out in shock, telling the others to retreat.

Zhang Che’s eyes nearly popped out from their sockets. That was a freaking five-star dark gold-quality subdued beast, and it was killed instantly in one move just like that!

Without a doubt, that leopard-like exotic beast was at high-tier epic-quality!

“Big Brother Luo, this won’t be easy!” Thoughts of retreating sprouted in Zhang Che’s heart.

The difference in strength was simply too large. There was no way to fight at all!

This was still under the condition that the exotic beast was in the process of giving birth. Otherwise, it would even pose a problem for them to escape from this valley!

“Damn it, I’ll try once more!”

It wasn’t easy for such an opportunity to come by. Luo Wenjun truly didn’t want to give up just like that. He gritted his teeth and decided to send out one of his legend-quality subdued beast, charging forward.

The leopard-like exotic beast on the grassland let out a low roar. Another near-invisible phantom flew past, directly slashing at Luo Wenjun’s legend-quality subdued beast.

Without any forewarning, a gash deep enough to see the bones suddenly appeared on that legend-quality subdued beast’s body. Fresh blood immediately flowed out.

The legend-quality subdued beast had even sensed the danger and tried to dodge instinctively. Otherwise, perhaps it would be dead by now and gone in a fading streak of light.

Luo Wenjun’s expression turned extremely ugly.

Although defense wasn’t this legend-quality subdued beast’s forte, it had rarely suffered any injuries during battles in the past. Unexpectedly, when facing this leopard-like exotic beast, it was nearly slain in one attack.

How were they supposed to continue fighting?

Luo Wenjun’s expression underwent several changes. In the end, he could only sigh reluctantly, “Let’s go. There’s no way we can do this.”

Zhang Che, who was silent all this time, suddenly called out, “Wait!”

Luo Wenjun and the others turned to look at Zhang Che at the same time. Perhaps this kid had an ace up his sleeve?

However, under such circumstances, it was useless no matter what hidden trump he had…

That leopard-like exotic beast had yet to utilize its False Domain… well, maybe it was currently giving birth and was unable to use its False Domain. But even so, it wasn’t something their subdued beasts could handle.

Zhang Che looked in the leopard-like exotic beast’s direction for a moment, then grit his teeth and said, “Let’s gather our beasts with strong defenses. We’ll exhaust that exotic beast’s skill first. I have a way after that!”

Done speaking, a five-colored ray of light shot out from Zhang Che’s brow. The Unicorn’s pure and noble figure appeared before them.

“As long as our subdued beasts don’t die right away, this subdued beast of mine should be able to save them!”

Luo Wenjun’s eyes went wide. He exclaimed in shock, “Damn, a healing-type subdued beast, and a legend-quality one at that! Brother Zhang, you really hide deeply! Alright, we’ll listen to you. Let’s do this!”

With a legend-quality healing-type beast supporting them from behind, they shouldn’t suffer great losses. As long as they managed to kill the leopard-like exotic beast in the end, everything would be worth it!

At that moment, the leopard-like exotic beast suddenly let out a loud pained cry. Everyone saw a pool of blood forming under it.

Obviously this fellow was at the crucial moment of childbirth.

“Now is the time, charge!” Luo Wenjun shouted. The four of them sent out their defensive legend-quality beasts, rushing forward together.

The epic-quality exotic beast roared out furiously, and indignantly. It suddenly opened its mouth, a spread of near-invisible phantoms shot out, shrouding the approaching subdued beasts.

Chichichi!… A few soft sounds rang out. Zhang Che and the others were shocked to see gash after gash appearing on the beasts’ bodies in close proximity. Large amounts of blood gushed out from the wounds like spring water.

The Unicorn was prepared for this, and immediately shot out ray after ray of milky white splendor from its spiral horn at each and every allied beast in front, quickly closing their wounds.

Zhang Che looked at the Mutated Giant Ape who had been waiting at the side for a long time and said expectantly, “Go, it’s up to you now!”

The Mutated Giant Ape immediately let out a spirited battle cry. He pounded his chest with his fists, then his body shot forth like lightning in an extremely elegant manner, charging straight towards the epic-quality exotic beast, which was already sitting in a pool of its own blood.

A near-invisible phantom shot out once more. The Mutated Giant Ape was clearly not very speedy, but he side-stepped deftly, narrowly dodging the attack!

The three of them went widened their eyes in shock again.

-What situation is this?-

It was like they saw a legendary martial arts expert, easily dodging the hidden projectile weapons from their enemy. That elegant move truly left them impressed.

Well, that was if the move wasn’t executed by a giant ape!

Just as Luo Wenjun and the others were feeling like they had seen a ghost, the Mutated Giant Ape dodged two more windblade attacks, and pounced in front of the exotic beast.

The leopard-like exotic beast roared out furiously. Although it didn’t dare to move casually while lying in its own pool of blood, its claw seemed to tear the space apart, directly swiping at the Mutated Giant Ape’s abdomen.

The Mutated Giant Ape had a huge body, but he possessed nimbleness that totally out of step with his size. He took a step to the side, directly avoiding the epic-quality exotic beast’s attack. Afterwards, his right fist drew a beautiful arc in the air, smashing the exotic beast’s chin with a loud bang.

“Shit, that’s awesome!” Luo Wenjun cried out again. The animal he was watching right now wasn’t a beast. It was clearly a boxing grandmaster!

However, the epic-quality exotic beast seemed fine after taking that punch. It opened its mouth and shot out another elemental attack, directly into the Mutated Giant Ape’s chest.

“Ah, shit!” Luo Wenjun immediately cried out in surprise.

However, the Mutated Giant Ape’s snowy white fur at his chest flashed with a blurry light, absorbing about half of the epic-quality exotic beast’s elemental attack. Although the remaining energy left a cut on his chest, it wasn’t a heavy injury.

Noticing the epic-quality exotic beast’s tough defense, Zhang Che hurriedly yelled out loudly, “Go for its stomach!”

As a boxing grandmaster, did the Mutated Giant Ape need Zhang Che’s reminder? During the moment Zhang Che was speaking, he had already quickly changed his target. With a swift step, he circled around to the rear half of the epic-quality exotic beast and punched viciously at its soft stomach.

The epic-quality exotic beast wailed in pain. Its large body trembled violently, scaring Zhang Che so much that he yelled out again, “Be careful, don’t kill the little fellow in its belly!”

The Mutated Giant Ape immediately understood Zhang Che’s intention. He roared out furiously to the sky and direct used his skill, Heavy Punches.

An endless wave of dull banging rang out, nearly forming a symphony. The Mutated Giant Ape’s fists turned into blurs, launching a flurry of eighteen heavy punches in less than two breaths’ time. That terrifying power contained in those punches directly forced the epic-quality exotic beast’s large body to stagger, nearly falling sideways to the ground.

Another miserable cry rang out. Zhang Che and the others widened their eyes.

More fresh blood gushed out from under the epic-quality exotic beast’s body. Afterwards, a small, sticky body suddenly entered their sights.

The Mutated Giant Ape’s series of heavy punches actually forced the epic-quality exotic beast to directly gave birth!
