Chapter 43: Training in the Beast Tide
Rumble!
The lightning continued to flash as if it wanted to tear the sky apart.
When Barnard and the other two teachers left the garrison area, the students in the thatched cottage area also became active.
“The teachers seem to have gone in that direction just now.”
“Yes, I saw teacher Owen’s Chaotic Spider.”
“Barnard and teacher Bania also went to the Andes mountain range. Do you think there will be any treasures there?”
One of the students in the crowd said.
As soon as the words fell from his mouth, the eyes of the other students lit up.
“It’s very possible. Although the Beast Tide has appeared, opportunities always appear in times of danger. I plan to go there and take a look.”
“But…”
There were students who were tempted, but of course, there were also students who hesitated.
“No buts. Don’t tell me you want to continue living such a miserable life?”
“That’s right. Without a Beast Core, you can only afford to eat instant noodles! I’ve already vomited!”
“That’s right! We must kill a few more ferocious beasts today to improve our quality of life!”
…
The students had animated discussions. Very soon, many people headed towards the Andes mountain range.
At the same time, Mike brought Lucy to the outer region of the Andes mountain range.
He looked around. Blue stripes appeared on the green trees, and even the green leaves on the trees seemed to be jumping.
He was stunned to see this.
Wasn’t it strange?
The surrounding bushes were filled with lightning!
More importantly, the lightning was more violent than before!
“Be careful!”
Lucy’s eyes focused as she shouted in the southwest direction.
Mike’s gaze shifted slightly and soon saw an unbelievable sight.
Coming from the southwest direction, a group of one meter tall eight-eyed spiders slowly crawled out from the depths of the forest.
Upon seeing this, Mike immediately used the system to look for information about them.
[ pet name ] : Lightning Spider
[ attribute ] : Lightning
[ status ] : Normal
[ level ] : Warrior-Level 1-Star
[ potential aptitude ] : None
[ skills ] : Arcing Flash, Lightning Bullet
[ description ] : Lightning Spider is a berserk lightning-type beast. In areas where there are plenty of lightning elements, it can display the ability to fight above its level. If the Lightning Spider appears in a group, it will easily trigger a berserk state.
After learning this information, Mike frowned.
During his previous learning process, he had learned that the lightning attribute would suppress the fire attribute to a certain extent. He had not expected to encounter such a large group of Lightning Spiders as soon as they appeared.
After doing some silent calculations in his heart, Mike found that there were about twenty Lightning Spiders in this group.
“Lucy, activate Battle Mode!”
Upon hearing Mike’s command, Lucy instantly transformed into her beast form. A Blue-Eyed White Dragon appeared in the forest.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar was heard, the loud sound causing the Lightning Spiders to pause for a moment.
Mike raised his eyebrows, and there was some joy in his expression.
The Green-Eyed White Dragon had become stronger again!
According to this trend, it looked like leveling up was just around the corner!
“Green-Eyed White Dragon, use Red Flame Dragon Breath!”
Upon hearing Mike’s command, the Green-Eyed White Dragon let out a roar, and a ball of scorching flames flew towards the Lightning Spiders.
Rumble!
Along with the flying dust, a huge explosion could be heard in the area.
After the dust had settled, Mike looked in the direction of the attack, where a charred hole appeared in front of him.
This made his eyes show a trace of surprise.
What was going on?
Why were there no Lightning Spider corpses?
Hiss!
A slight sound of silk being spit out sounded above the jungle, causing Mike to look over the moment he heard the sound.
It turned out that all twenty of the Lightning Spiders had climbed up the tree together.
Under the light of the flame, Mike found the shadow of the spider silk.
It turned out that this area was the activity area of the Lightning Spiders, and the spider silk on the tree was the route they had woven previously.
He didn’t expect that under the spider web, the Lightning Spiders would be so fast.
Rip!
On the tree, the bodies of Lightning Spiders were covered with lightning.
Soon, the lightning had gathered on their eight legs.
“That’s not good. They’re going to attack. Dodge!”
As soon as Mike gave the order, the Lightning Spiders started to attack.
An arc of lightning flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Mike. However, he turned around and dodged the attack when the lightning was three inches away from him.
However, danger arose again!
Another arc of lightning flashed.
This attack went straight for Mike’s chest. If this attack really landed on his chest…
That could only mean one result for him.
That would be certain death!
It was over.
Was he really going to die this time?
Just as that thought crossed Mike’s mind, a group of Green-Eyed White Dragons instantly pounced in front of Mike.
Whoosh!
A wound appeared on the blue-eyed White Dragon’s body.
This happened in a flash.
When Mike landed in the safe zone, he reacted.
“Lucy! !”
Mike shouted in grief and anger.
“Roar.”
The Blue-Eyed White Dragon shook its head and growled, indicating that it was okay.
Seeing this, Mike’s emotion changed.
If it had not been for Lucy, he would have been seriously injured this time.
He was still an ordinary person now.
He did not have a hard appearance.
An attack that was hard to notice could take his life.
Only by believing in his war pet and working together with it, could he survive the crisis.
War Pets were the most loyal friends of humans!
At the thought of this, Mike quickly stood up.
Instantly, his eyes became brighter, and his thoughts were very clear.
“Green-Eyed White Dragon, don’t let them move quickly. Feel the pressure of the Beast God!”
The Green-Eyed White Dragon flapped its wings, and a pressuring sound wave was emitted from its body.
Under this pressure, the twenty Lightning Spiders were suppressed to the point that they could not move at all. Their speed decreased by more than half a point, and it was as if they could not control their own bodies.
Mike ordered, “Quick, now, use your strongest attack!”
Upon hearing Mike’s order, the Blue-Eyed White Dragon immediately took action.
It opened its mouth, and a ball of red light flashed from its mouth.
This time, the Red Flame Dragon Breath was even more condensed. Even the surrounding air rippled from it.
Then, it suddenly spat out.
Rumble!
Large amounts of flames swept out from its mouth.
Its disciple, trees, and vegetation were scattered in all directions.
These flames were like a surging flood, instantly enveloping the twenty Lightning Spiders.
After burning for half a minute, the Blue-Eyed White Dragon finally ended its attack.
Seeing that there was no sound in the sea of flames, the Blue-Eyed White Dragon finally stopped the Beast God’s pressure.
At this time, the Lightning Spider within the Flames also lost its life.
“Ding! Your pet Blue-Eyed White Dragon has killed a Warrior-Level 1-Star Lightning Spider X20. Experience gained 10,000 points.”
“Ding! Your pet Blue-Eyed White Dragon has gained full experience. Level Up!”
“Ding! Lightning Spider killed successfully. Obtained 20 Lightning Spider eyes.”
At hearing the system notification, the corner of Mike’s mouth rose slightly. He had not expected this battle to allow his Blue-Eyed White Dragon to get an upgrade.
