She had thought the danger level of this unknown Mystic Ground wasn't very high; after all, Golden Yuanbao had tornted those Sweet Ducks for so long, and they had only encountered one Advanced Level pet beast.
She also hadn't found any traces of Transcendent creatures active nearby.
But clearly, she had been too presumptuous.
The reason this area looked so calm and peaceful was likely because it was the territory of the Earthfire Spider King.
What's wrong with a King-level Transcendent creature having a quiet and harmonious territory?
After all, it alone could sweep through an entire area.
It had been in a deep sleep before, which was why they had been able to frolic in its territory for so long!
If she and Golden Yuanbao had entered when the Earthfire Spider King was awake, they would probably be shoulder to shoulder with the sun by now.
Mingxi's guess was correct.
The pet beast identifier loudly 'said': "Wild Earthfire Spider Kings are extrely cruel hunters, extrely bloodthirsty and murderous. In the areas where they live, almost no other living creatures can be found, including their mates, who can also beco their targets of slaughter.
Therefore, wild Earthfire Spider Kings are mostly solitary, 99% without mates, and are well-known 'widowed nobles' among Transcendent creatures;
They prefer damp, warm environnts with ample sunlight, so wild Earthfire Spider Kings can only be found in a few major rainforest regions and large Mystic Grounds within the Alliance."
Mingxi: "..."
They can't even coexist with their mates; they are too vicious.
Mingxi was feeling completely unwell.
Would this Earthfire Spider King not give up until it had killed them?
The danger level of this unknown Mystic Ground had now broken through 5 stars in her mind.
While the danger level of a Mystic Ground cannot be said to be 100% linked to the Transcendent creatures within it, it is one of the important criteria.
Generally, the higher the upper limit of the Transcendent creatures' level within a Mystic Ground, the more complete the laws within the Mystic Ground, and at the sa ti, the higher the danger level of the Mystic Ground.
For example, Changheng Secret Realm, where the highest upper limit for wild Transcendent creatures is General-level, so its danger level is only 3 stars.
But now, a King-level Transcendent creature has appeared in this Mystic Ground, which ans the level cap of this Mystic Ground «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» must be at King-level or even above King-level.
The danger level definitely exceeds 5 stars.
Therefore, she couldn't guarantee that running around like headless chickens wouldn't attract enemies even more terrifying than the Earthfire Spider King!
She didn't even dare to let Golden Yuanbao fly freely at high altitudes, because high altitudes are the territory of high-level Flight-type Transcendent creatures.
She didn't want to escape the wolf's den only to enter the tiger's lair!
"Golden Yuanbao, left front, bypass that big guy, and try to go upstream of the waterfall as much as possible."
Earlier, in their desperate escape, Golden Yuanbao hadn't paid attention to the direction and had already deviated far from the waterfall.
That large waterfall was an excellent natural barrier. The Earthfire Spider King is fire-attributed; no matter how much it likes dampness, it shouldn't be able to cross the waterfall, right?
Otherwise, those Sweet Ducks wouldn't have been able to live peacefully as neighbors with the Earthfire Spider King.
Golden Yuanbao also reacted.
It had been too reckless just now, panicking and taking a dangerous path with its Beast Tars.
The Earthfire Spider King was indeed persistent; when Golden Yuanbao changed direction, it also changed direction.
Moreover, its crawling speed even exceeded Golden Yuanbao's.
Once Golden Yuanbao stopped using Chasing Wind, it would quickly be caught.
Once it entered its attack range, it would indiscriminately either spray fireballs or launch fiery spiderwebs.
The human and beast narrowly escaped danger several tis.
Golden Yuanbao's tail feathers were scorched, and its golden feathers were stained with a tragic color.
Mingxi's back also had blisters from the scorching hot air produced by the fla explosion.
Finally, they approached the large waterfall again.
Using the mist as cover, Golden Yuanbao ascended its body and flew vigorously towards the top of the waterfall.
Mingxi, anwhile, constantly monitored the Earthfire Spider King's movents, seeing that it didn't even hesitate for a second, directly stepping into the turbulent river water.
At the sa ti, it didn't forget to launch attacks at them.
Giant fireballs ca overwhelming.
Mingxi wanted to curse again.
When she saw the Earthfire Spider King using its eight spider legs, which were shaped like thin sticks, more murderous than a supermodel, yet exceptionally strong and powerful, actually beginning to climb the waterfall against the current...
Mingxi: "..."
She wondered if she hadn't done anything to provoke Wrath of Heaven just now; why did this Spider King hate them so deeply?
Did it not even fear its racial instincts?
A waterfall over a thousand ters high, abundant water, how great would the water resistance be?
And the terrain was vertical.
The Earthfire Spider King could actually move with ease? Its speed was only slightly slower than on land.
It was too unreasonable.
With its tenacity to overco all difficulties and still chop off their heads, how could it not be invincible?
There was really no need to chase after two weak and helpless people and their pet beast.
"Golden Yuanbao, use Thunderstorm on the waterfall!"
At this mont, they had already reached the top of the waterfall, and the Earthfire Spider King was also about to climb to the middle section of the waterfall.
If they continued this chase, the situation would only beco more and more unfavorable for them.
After all, Golden Yuanbao's energy was limited, and carrying her not only affected its speed but also increased consumption.
Even if she had Ti Realm to allow Golden Yuanbao to rest and replenish at any ti, they couldn't just keep running, could they?
So they had to find a way to escape this predicant.
Their current position was exactly in the Earthfire Spider King's blind spot, but by utilizing the characteristics of the waterfall's current, they could attack the Earthfire Spider King.
Golden Yuanbao imdiately unleashed Thunderstorm onto the surging waterfall below.
As the most powerful lightning-type skill, Thunderstorm's power was maximized in the water.
Six dazzling lightning flowers blood; at that instant, the entire waterfall seed to be dyed a seductive purple.
The lightning flowers exploded, transforming into countless lightning snakes and dragons, which, carried by the surging water, swirled towards the Earthfire Spider King.
The Earthfire Spider King's eight legs, tightly gripping the cliff face, were the first to suffer.
"Crackle!"
The Earthfire Spider King's originally stable climbing body visibly stiffened, and the fine fuzz on its body surface turned scorched black.
Mingxi's eyes lit up.
It's working!
"Thunderstorm!"
If one strike wasn't enough, she'd do it again. She refused to believe this Spider King was truly unafraid of water and resistant to electricity.
If energy wasn't enough, there was the zhuangdan fruit to help.
"Golden Yuanbao, eat a few more!"
She pulled out four zhuangdan fruits in one breath.
Golden Yuanbao didn't care how bitter or unpalatable these things were at the mont; it swallowed them one after another, gulping them down like candy.
After swallowing, it imdiately cast skills.
If four weren't enough, then eight; if eight weren't enough, then sixteen...
Neither the human nor the beast noticed a clear white light erupting from Golden Yuanbao's body, flashing and disappearing in an instant.
...
All efforts were not in vain. Under Mingxi's unsparing feeding and Golden Yuanbao's tireless outbursts, the Earthfire Spider King below finally couldn't hold on. Its eight legs went limp.
Even if it was King-level, in an environnt so unfavorable to it in every aspect, it had to admit defeat.
"Splash!"
